Episode 114

Not completely, but I wonder if I felt something after hearing Ariasel’s words.

Coming from the 23rd floor, Garriel started getting overly excited at the mere sight of the Bone Fortress guys.

‘Those guys… those guys!’

It didn’t matter when it was in my inventory, but when I was waiting outside of my inventory for an operation, the shock wave was transmitted directly to me, and I almost got caught many times.

If it had happened once or twice, that might have been fine, but if it happened over and over again, I eventually had no choice but to speak up.

“Cut it out, Geral.”

Stop.

I sighed as I watched the guy slowly rise from the corpse that seemed to belong to the Bone Fortress.

That guy was originally going to be left alone, but he was caught by the shockwave that Geral spread, so I had no choice but to deal with him while taking into account the possibility of him being caught.

Well, in the end, thanks to the data this guy had, we were able to confirm that the surveillance of the Bone Fortress guys on the 23rd floor was relatively lax compared to other floors… … .

That’s that.

“You know better than anyone that nothing good will come of continuing this situation.”

When I reminded him that he couldn’t continue this lucky situation forever, he muttered with a dark face, as if he knew it.

“……I’m sorry, Morse.”

“If you still have trouble controlling your emotions, I can help you with that a little.”

No matter how much giant blood flows through him, it is still only half.

Since I was almost done with the 23rd floor quest anyway, it would be a piece of cake for me to just take some time and suppress the undead’s emotions.

“I’m sorry… but I’d like to decline that.”

“I see.”

But was it perhaps fear that was felt in terms of suppressing one’s emotions?

Garriel refused my request, and instead said that he would try to suppress it.

[Father, is it okay if I leave you like this?]

It seemed that Dracolich did not like that sight very much.

[It is said that the father continues to deal with the continuous unexpected situations with his improvisation, but it seems to be going too far… … .]

Of course, that doesn’t mean Dracolich had any ill feelings toward Geral.

Although it is said that their emotions are greatly suppressed when they become undead, whether spiders or dracolichs, they are still beings with a sense of self.

For me, who was connected to the undead and shared their imagery, Dracolich was one of the guys who sympathized with Geral more deeply than anyone else.

However, in other words, it means that even such a dracolich would not be very pleased with this situation because Geral’s actions were excessive.

I agree that some action needs to be taken.

“I agree with you. I’ve been fighting fights that I wouldn’t normally have had to fight, and now I don’t even have any armor or sword left.”

Knock knock.

Leona, who was sharpening her greatsword on the side, also chimed in.

“I remember that the armor was on the verge of breaking when it was made into living armor on the 22nd floor.”

“Ugh, that’s true, but!”

“Since you agree, deduct the cost of armor repair from your money.”

Even though he tried to change the subject by striking first when she seemed to be asking for money for armor repairs, she didn’t give in easily.

“I understand that the repair costs are my fault, but you’re not really going to leave it like that, are you?”

Then, Leona looked at the back of Garriel, who was walking in front of her with a thump.

It must be my imagination that makes the back, with only bones, look so lonely.

“……While I was a wandering knight without a master, I saw many people like that acting out unexpectedly. Of course, you could control them well…….”

“I know that too.”

That’s why I was planning to take action anyway, but I wonder why these guys are so clueless.

“spider.”

[Huh? Why am I calling you again?]

Swish.

I grabbed the body of the spider guy who was grumbling from behind with my hand and slowly pushed him forward.

Then the spider panics.

[What do you want me to do?!]

“Anything is fine, just go talk to the guy.”

[What is this… … .]

The guy stared at me with the eyes on his human-shaped upper body, as if he had something to say to me who suddenly thrust himself forward…

“Are there any complaints?”

[… … Tsk, open your inventory, you damn guy.]

As soon as I said a word, he quietly took Garriel and went into his inventory.

Seeing that, Dracolich and Leona both looked at me with concern.

“What are you doing? Since the two of you are gone, I have to work harder to make up for the loss of you.”

I left them both speechless and began to watch the situation in my inventory with my spider eyes.

‘I was originally going to talk to him myself, but… … Well, he’d probably be better off than me.’

Hoping that the spider guy will do well, he moves on to the quest.

****

The inside of the inventory is always dark.

It’s a space that’s as dark as the sky where you can’t see even an inch ahead, but even so, they never collide with each other.

Because each object there emitted light in proportion to its size.

A coin the size of a fingernail barely emits enough light to illuminate my body, while an object the size of a mountain emits enough light to illuminate not only my surroundings but the entire radius.

And there, the two that shone the brightest were none other than the undead.

‘… … Me… … No, why did you bring me here?’

[Don’t you think I came here because I wanted to?]

Spider and Geralt.

Unlike Geral, who seemed embarrassed, the spider spoke to Geral with his characteristically indifferent expression, scratching his head nervously and spitting out words.

[That guy brought me here because he told me to do something.]

‘Is that so?’

Towards that spider, Garriel muttered as if giving up.

‘You can leave me alone.’

[what?]

Even at first glance, it looked like he didn’t want to do it.

That’s why Garriel said that to the spider.

‘Emotions will subside as time passes anyway.’

[Stop talking nonsense and come here and sit down.]

Towards such a gerbil, the spider wiggled its forelegs.

It was a gesture so fierce that anyone who saw it would think he was going to stamp on them with his front paws, but why?

To Garriel, the spider’s gestures didn’t seem all that threatening.

“Can I sit here?”

[Sit comfortably.]

dump.

As I sat down next to the spider, it lowered its spider-shaped lower body and began to tell its story.

[Do you hate those guys?]

“…….”

[Just looking at them makes me want to kill them, my heart starts to boil, and my head feels like it’s going to burst.]

Garriel barely spoke.

Most of the words were just muttered by the spider, almost as if he was talking to himself.

[The guys I’ve been with since birth were also used by those guys.]

When I told him about the part that happened on the 15th floor, Geral also opened his mouth as if he was surprised.

“……I was used.”

[They made us fight until we were defeated in a place called the Colosseum or something, and they kidnapped us only to use us for money.]

For a long time after that, neither Spider nor Geral said anything.

While he was keeping his mouth shut as if trying to gather his thoughts, unexpectedly, Garriel opened his mouth first.

“……Actually, I think I know.”

[What are you talking about?]

“What I heard on the 22nd floor… is what Ariasel said.”

It was a worry that Garriel had kept inside, something he had never told Morse about.

The worries poured out of Garriel’s mouth as if a dam had burst.

“From the moment that star entered my body… I actually had an intuition. That what he said was true.”

[Isn’t it too easy for the faith you’ve built up throughout your life to crumble?]

But it was that spider that gave me such a nagging feeling.

“That power that makes it feel like my body will fall apart at any moment… I’m not crazy enough to feel the magic and deny it.”

After muttering like that, Garriel lowered his head.

“But… then what happens to everything I’ve believed in until now?”

Urrrrrr.

As emotions grew more and more intense, shock waves slowly began to emanate from Gerald’s body.

“The life I’ve lived until now, believing in God and denying Ariasel… Everything! What does it all mean!”

Unlike Ariasel, Geralt did not shed tears from his eyes.

It was natural, it was natural for that body to not be able to shed tears.

[So what does that have to do with the Bone Fortress?]

“……I don’t know, I just……I just hated it.”

So that’s why.

Gariel’s emotions, which clearly seemed like they would make him angrier, suddenly cooled down and became calm.

“It was as if the fortress of bones had been deceiving me… That’s why I hated it.”

Spider continued speaking as Garriel calmed down, as if he had done some self-reflection.

[So, you’re saying that you’re suddenly angry because it seems like that bone fortress is the one that ruined your life?]

“……Yes, I feel a little suffocated because it seems like I’m taking my anger out on guys who have nothing to do with it…… I guess that’s why.”

Perhaps because he thought there would definitely be a bad reaction, Garriel hung his head with a displeased expression.

[Why doesn’t it matter?]

The answer that came back from the spider was a little different from what Gerald had expected.

“……yes?”

[It’s so frustrating, your intuition already knows everything, but why don’t you know that… … Ugh.]

The spider, who had been pounding the chest of its human-shaped upper body as if it was frustrated, soon began to explain it one by one as if it was explaining it to him.

[You know that the Ariasel guys and the Bone Fortress guys were holding hands, right?]

“Of course…….”

[So, all the spirits from your world were resurrected by the Bone Fortress guys and they were building a tower. But isn’t that strange?]

Then, the spider suddenly pointed at Gerald.

[Why don’t all those guys treat Ariasel like their king instead of opposing him like you? What do you think Ariasel would gain from that? Who do you think would benefit the most?]

“……Fortress of Bones……”

As soon as the guys’ names came out of Garriel’s mouth.

[Oh my, and they were going to use you all as meat shields and then leave you to your own devices? And as if that wasn’t enough, they were going to use all of you, even the unborn, as shields? And that includes your daughter.]

As I said everything, only then did Garriel’s face begin to distort.

“These…… kids……”

[If you were revived by those guys, it’s only natural that you were fooled by them too, and it’s only natural that you’re angry about that.]

Then the spider guy’s face distorted.

[If it was God who deceived you before, it is the fortress of bones that is deceiving you now.]

And then the spider reaches out its hand.

[Since we’re both going to get revenge anyway, let’s put our anger aside for now. For the future.]

“……okay.”

Spider and Geralt holding hands.

The spider muttered in my head as I watched the two of them talking as if all their emotions had been released.

[Is that enough, you damn necromancer?]

‘Enough.’

And I was looking at that scene with great satisfaction.

So what if it’s not the right answer, so what if it’s sophistry?

‘At this point, I don’t think he’ll do anything rash.’

This was sufficient as a temporary measure.

[By the way, why is this guy using formal language with me? Anyway, it’s strange… … .]

Leaving that grumbling spider behind.

[23rd floor quest completed.]

I was now only two steps away from the 25th floor.
