Decades later, in front of the luxurious and rugged gates of the Gopher residence were the figures of Bell, Lili, Allen, Jake, Sedona, Hamel and the coal mine chief. In the end Hamel, as a watchman, was to wait at the entrance to the Gopher Mansion.

Allen woke up inconvenient when everyone was about to leave Hausent Hospital and followed him in vain.

"Brother, shoulder car!

"Huh? Why would I have to do that?"

Bell looks at Allen with a frightened face. He doesn't have the guts to take care of Allen. Lili stares at such a bell with cold eyes.

That's not all. Sedona, and even Jake look at Bell with the same eyes.

"Jeez..."

"... what the hell"

Nothing is more uncomfortable than being able to stare in silence. They never missed sight of Bell.

"........................... ok. That's fine! Yay!"

Bell sighed loudly, holding Allen to his shoulder. I couldn't stand the unspeakable atmosphere.

"Wow! Tall!

Allen is innocently happy. With his smile, the people around him were healing. He's really an angelic boy.

At that time, Hamel was leaning somewhat toward the gate.

"I'm not scared... I'm not scared... I'm not scared..."

Hamel was constantly squealing as he hit his head against the gate. I still can't heal the heartbreak I got from Sedona.

"Yes, sir. Let's get into the mansion."

In front of the Gopher Mansion, it was surrounded by an unspeakable atmosphere of chaos. Sedona changes her mind and leads the line.

The black iron plaid gate is rusty. When opened by Sedona's hand, the gate opened with a heavy noise. Weeds thrive in the mansion's garden unconstructively, like meadows.

"There are no bugs here..."

Lili didn't like bugs. But I guess that didn't matter. There was no one to lend an ear to her words.

One line stands silently at the entrance to the mansion. The Gopher Mansion is a splendid two-story western pavilion.

It was Sedona who opened the big door in front of me. She looks like a pretty weak girl, but she's more courageous than anyone else here, and she doesn't know anything scary.

Ahead of the door, which opened, was filled with dusty air. Inside the mansion, large quantities of old antiques are left unattended. The way it's falling apart without regularity makes it possible that someone broke in here and vandalized it.

At both ends of the entrance there are stairs and the ceiling is suspended with a sumptuous and elegant chandelier. But unfortunately, it's also dusty. It's dirty.

"Gohohohohoho..."

The moment we entered the mansion, Allen and Lili coughed up almost simultaneously. Mansion with no idea what kind of danger is lurking. Maybe these two shouldn't have been brought in after all.

"Kill us and live in such a big house... and that decoration, lick us everywhere"

The coal mine manager was angry. Because the gold that built this mansion may have been obtained by falling coal miners and killing them. Besides, he was looking at the decorations at the entrance, making him more frustrated.

"I miss you..."

Jake crushes as he looks around inside the mansion.

"Did I just say something?

Sedona didn't miss the word.

"Oh. No, nothing."

"... this mansion is huge, so let's split it into three hands and find it"

Sedona has been watching Jake's face for a while, but soon remembers the purpose of coming to this mansion.

At both ends of the entrance are stairs leading to the second floor. And there's a central passage on the ground floor at the front, two at a time, divided into three hands, which would be the best way to find it. Sounds pretty deep.

"I'm going alone. I'm a ghost, unlike you guys. I can slip through walls, too. One is more efficient."

It is inefficient for coal mine managers to act with humans, who can freely slip through walls.

"That's true. Then I don't know what to do..."

When Sedona is thinking about teaming up.

"Hey! Don't go on your own!

Bell took the liberty of going up the stairs to the left of the entrance and headed upstairs. Bell continues to ignore Sedona.

"Well, I'll go to the right."

Subsequently, Jake also moved out on his own.

"Hey, this place is planned!

……………

Lili and Allen were the only ones left at the entrance, except for Sedona. Unlike Bell and Jake, they have no powers like black magic (Grimoire). All that remained were two people who never wanted to combine.

I can't just leave a weak girl and a young child. It is also possible to make them chase two people who have gone first, but that would also be dangerous.

Lili and Allen, stared at by Sedona, smile and show Nico.

"You have no choice. This is where the three of us act. We'll go straight down that aisle."

Sedona has now taken the best measures in this situation. It was number one here for the three of us to act. She didn't expect that coming here would disrupt the discipline of the team. If something unexpected happens, we'll have to deal with it.

"What does a chair of curse look like?

"The doctor told me about the rocking chair."

"Rocking chair?

Lili leans her neck to Sedona's words. Allen was also imitating her, tilting her neck.

"....................................... You, the rocking chair, don't you know?

"Eh heh..."

Lili laughed with regret. Seeing that makes Allen smile too.

"By rocking chair I mean... well fine! Anyway, look for something like a chair."

Sedona tried to describe herself as a rocking chair in gesture, but she got embarrassed, she stopped.

Jake, on the other hand, was going up the stairs on the right side of the entrance.

There is one room in front of me. When I opened the door with my hands on the door knob, the dusty antiques were left there as uncrafted as the entrance. It's like a garbage mansion, full of stuff.

"This is going to take time..."

Jake is feeling weak when he sees a pile of antiques spreading in front of him. He likes to be tidy and is not used to this kind of all-you-can-scatter room. He poses as a gentleman before everyone else, but when he is alone, he reveals his true nature. When you look at the messy rooms, you can't help cleaning them up.

By then, Bell had entered the room on the left side of the second floor.

Compared to the entrance, this room had little dust and had never been scattered with antiques like the room where Jake came in.

"That's crazy. Why is there nothing?

Bell tilted his neck. Even though the entrance had all those antiques, I don't see any of them in this room. Nothing is too much, and on the contrary, I'm not feeling well.

With such discomfort in the room, Bell moves on to the next.

Sedona and the others were in the first room in sight walking down the central aisle. I went in there, not just because it was the first room, but because Sedona saw an orb gathering in that room.

The room, although not as good as the one where Jake was, was overflowing with antiques. The three of us who entered the room just started scratching a pile of antiques for nothing like a chair.

"Do you really have something like that..."

"Instead of a cursed chair, I don't even feel like I have a chair in this room. But what I really want to look for is to associate the case with Raven Gopher."

Look for them. Look for them. They couldn't find anything like a chair, and even Sedona was making a weak noise.

But she's right, chairs aren't the only ones looking. You can put the chair behind you in the first place.

Jake grabbed the antiques in front of him little by little and checked them, and he was carefully starting to line them up from the edge of the room. Each personality is also represented in the method of searching.

"How much the hell do I need to collect..."

Seeing an endless pile of antiques, Jake couldn't help but make a weak noise. When it comes to confirming all this, how much time will it take? I just imagined it was horrible.

Bell had reached a room where there was nothing.

"Is the front door the only place overflowing with crap...?

Bell was being attacked by strange sensations. As a matter of fact, Bell was already coming through some rooms with nothing, like the one he's in right now.

There are too many unused rooms to speak of as unused mansions in 11 years. According to Jake's story, a man named Raven Gopher had a hobby for collecting cute goods. He is not a big collector if what he collects is just for what he has at the entrance.

Bell thought the situation was puzzling, while opening the next door.

What appeared ahead was a betrayal of Bell's expectations. Instead of having a similar room again, a descending staircase appeared in front of Bell. It's a cobbled staircase, surrounded by stone walls.

Around the same time, Sedona and Lili were still looking for clues to the incident in their earlier rooms. Allen comes tighter when he says he's doing two imitations than when he says he's looking.

"All I had to do was find evidence that Raven Gopher had some special relationship with the jeweler, proof that he was building the bomb, and evidence linking him to black magic (Grimore)..."

"That's pretty much it...... anyway, let me know if there's a letter that says something about it or something like that"

Sedona replied without seeing her face. Because I was obsessed with finding evidence. Unlike Lili, who sees an orb, she was relying on traces of an orb to carry out an investigation.

"What is it, this?

Allen was holding onto something like a pot, with a number of protrusions.

Try pushing the protrusion of the kettle.

Then the protrusion sank as if it were a switch. Is this pot that Allen is touching really some kind of switch?

Bell was about to go down a staircase where the sun was not reaching and it was dark. An inch ahead is darkness. We need to get down carefully.

…………

Swallowing solitude, Bell took one step.

At the next moment, with a loud vibration, the lights lit the space of the stairs, which was dark. The walls of the stairs were lit with lamps at equal intervals.

"... I have a bad feeling about something"

Bell can't hide his confusion at the sudden changes that have taken place. To say that the light lit the moment you entered is to say that his intrusion is known to someone?

Still decided to move on, Bell was slowly down the stairs. Softly Bell steps out on his right foot. The steps Bell stepped on somehow sank with Gakun.

Then a change occurs in the door visible at the end of the stairs. A new stone wall appeared in front of the wooden door. The stone walls that hold back the way they go look pretty thick.

"Does this mean there's something ahead...?

Bell steps out one more time, convinced that there is something ahead to move on.

Bell's steps sank with Gakun again. I only have a bad feeling. Will it activate a trick that will stop you from going again? I have a bad feeling about that.

A new stone wall closes a door closed by a stone wall. That was a little different from last time. The stone walls that emerged this time were lined up like sharp beards. That doesn't end there.

The stone wall with the beard is coming this way with the roar. That's pretty fast, too.

"Seriously, you're lying!

In an instant, Bell rushes up the stairs, understanding that he had been placed in a critical situation. The lizard on the impending wall is as sharp as a blade, and if it is caught up, it will pierce your body.

Bell, who continues to flee obsessively, had activated further tricks. Just like when I was down the stairs, I was stepping on the steps of gakun and sinking. Desperate to escape, Bell hadn't noticed it. This wasn't just a staircase. The stairs themselves are the starting switches on the traps.

If you notice, the width of the stone wall surrounding the stairs was narrowed. It's not just getting narrower, it keeps getting narrower gradually. As it is, it is crushed by the wall before the body is pierced.

The width of the left and right walls and walls was already considerably narrower, even if they were not caught up by the stone wall toge and pierced through the body. If you wave your hands vigorously to run up the stairs, your sleeves will be shredded with a shimmering stone wall. I'm going to be crushed in a little while.

Gacha

At one hair, Bell escaped into the room before going down the stairs.

"Heh, dangerous"

For one thing, the crisis was averted. Bell was breathing relief. The Gopher Mansion is an outrageous Kalachri Mansion.

While I was relieved, something appeared in front of Bell this time.

If you drop your gaze on the floor in front of you, there's a magic formation there. There shouldn't have been anything like that when I first got here.

Just then, Allen was pushing the pot protrusion. Apparently, the kettle Allen is touching is also a switch to start the trap.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

Appearing before Bell's eyes was a beast he had never seen, and that monster, standing on four legs, staring at Bell with starving eyes. The monster's face has countless eyes, his mouth ripped to his ears, and he has fine lizards growing all over his body.

"Is this also part of Gopher's collection?

It wasn't just the goods that Raven Gopher was collecting. Even the monster is part of his collection.

Whom the hungry monster drips, and comes near with a groaning voice. This is a pretty critical situation, but Bell is not a normal person. As opposed to when he was running up the stairs, Bell is settling down.

"Stay with me."

When Bell lays his hands on the floor, the magic formation unfolds, from which the flames burn. That was the flame I took from Rock Howard. The flames quickly wrapped the body of an imminent monster. Black magic with magic formations (Grimoire). This was all Bell was free to use at any time.

But in Bell's unfolding magic formation, only two things can be done. Absorbing the flames in the unfolded range of the Magic Formation. And releasing the flames that have been absorbed. That's all.

The flames that wrapped the monster's body slowly weakened, and in proportion, the monster stopped moving.

Shortly after that, Allen pressed another switch again. Allen is just getting a new toy and having fun, but that's what's going to afflict Bell.

Allen's pressed switch activated a new trap. The switch caused the red bar-shaped thing to descend from the head of the bell. Bell didn't know who the falling thing was, but he remembered what the coal mine manager told him and understood what it was.

A bomb.

In further crisis, Bell hurries to open the door and step into the stairs. That was the only place to escape.

Fortunately, until just now, the width narrowed and the staircase, with sharp togues looming, had returned to the normal staircase. The bomb that just came down wasn't on fire yet, and it didn't detonate immediately.

But Belle will strangle herself. The fire that burns the monster's body hasn't quenched yet, and that's what set the ignition line on fire. Bell was relieved to close the door tightly, but soon he would regret it.

Dockern

The fire lit bomb soon exploded and blew out the wooden door that was behind the bell.

"Wow."

The door blown by the explosion blows Bell's body.

And he rolled down the stairs as he was, hitting the door at the end of the stairs. Bell's body rolled into the room ahead without stopping there.

The explosion was echoing across the Gopher Mansion.

"What the hell happened? ⁉R"

Jake is surprised and lets go of what he was holding. The pieces of paper that were in his hand fell to the floor flickering. There is the letter "Amand Jeweler".

Looks like Jake was discovering something about the Red Wall explosion.

"Scary Yikes!

Allen hugs Lili by throwing the kettle she had.

"What the hell is that? ⁉ Are you kidding me?

Sedona's ears also heard the explosion.
