41 – The fortune teller is good at solving labyrinths

When I stood in front of the seal somewhere in Hallasan Mountain, which the confessional guides me to, I thought that it looked like a real seal.

“Yeah, it’s a seal made by a great guru, so it just feels right? The distorted figure looks quite impressive.”

Even though the appearance of the forest was distorted, there was something complicated hidden inside.

Is that a trap or something?

“…Distorted? Hanul, it looks just like a forest to me…”

“Teacher must have different eyes!”

“Huh? Can’t you guys see this?”

But it doesn’t seem to be visible to the other guys.

What is this, is it only me who sees this?

As I was thinking, Baekrok, who was next to me, applauded and admired it.

“hahahahaha! As expected, the teacher’s eyes are different! As it is a seal made by a great guru, I only feel a sense of incongruity, but I thought you would notice it as soon as you see it.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

[It’s definitely well made…And unique. Hmm…]

Well, I’m asking you what to do with the nine-tailed fox in here…

“Hmm…”

First, I put my hand inside the seal.

“Are you sure a seal is a seal?”

It looked like a barrier from a cartoon somewhere. It’s because I can’t see my hand. It’s not like your hand was cut off.

Should I say a barrier for camouflage? In the end, it seemed necessary to go inside to solve it. Because this barrier itself looks harmless.

“Hmm…”

I don’t think there’s a need for a lot of people here…

What if?

“Only Akame will go in together…Please watch over the rest here.”

“Yes?! Can we go in together, sir!?”

“It’s not a good place to go in a lot… I just need an assistant to help me.”

And I thought Akame, who was the strongest among them, would be good. As close combat is his specialty, he seems to have the fastest response.

“Hmm! Then I’ll take good care of Hanul… Everyone, can you keep an eye on me?”

“Ugh!”

“Keuugh…!!”

…Why does Akame seem to be bragging, while the others speak like defeated characters…?

Eight. What doesn’t matter?

Anyway, I, the crystal ball Arin, and Akame entered the barrier.

And what I saw when I entered the barrier like that…

“Is this a tile…?”

“It looks similar…I look that way too.”

A huge space and a huge black sphere in the middle of the space. And the tile-like things on the floor surrounding the sphere in a circle.

For reference, there were no tiles laid near the entrance where we were standing. How should I say…It feels like a safe zone?

“Wait a minute.”

If it’s something like this… Rather than rushing blindly, wouldn’t it be better to take a closer look?

I knelt down and lowered my head to look at the tiles on the floor.

My contemplation…Is the best among wild beasts, so I can see not only human faces, but also animal faces, and like the last time I looked into Arin’s past, I was able to see not just living things, but inanimate things as well. Can

Seeing that I had penetrated the barrier earlier, it seemed that these things could also be applied.

“Hmm…”

Thus, what I am looking forward to now is what kind of place this place will be.

“You can see over there, the black orb in the middle of this space is where our goal, the nine-tailed fox, is. And these tiles are… A maze of sorts. It’s preventing us from getting there.”

The moment you step on even one wrong square, a dangerous trap is triggered and puts you in danger. A dangerous maze with no walls.

Even the patterns change after a certain period of time.

‘…That’s right, the creator of this is said to be a great guru, and he’s made a very tricky seal.’

As expected, it seemed like they did a good job bringing Akame. If I had entered alone, it would have been difficult to break through.

But, well, it’s tricky, but Akame accompanied me, and since I’ve already figured out all the patterns, there’s nothing to be afraid of! There is still quite a bit of time left before moving on to the next pattern.

“…Okay, now that we’ve got everything figured out, let’s move quickly? Then, Akame, can you carry me on your back?”

“…Huh? Did you…Carry Hanwool?!”

“I thought it would be more comfortable if you carried it on your back. Please understand if it’s a little uncomfortable.”

“Isn’t it inconvenient?! If you can carry Hanwool on your back and move around affectionately in an empty place, it’s rather a reward… hehehe! Oh, it’s nothing!”

“????”

No, what kind of reaction is this…? I’m trying to scare you…??

[Human. It’s a pity, but nothing like a single labyrinth date will ever happen. Because Arin is watching with her eyes wide open.]

“…Oh my god? A crystal ball that can’t even open its eyes says something funny?”

Why are the two of them suddenly having a fight of nerves…Even though one is a marble…

Well, at times like this, it’s probably best not to think too much about it, right?

“Th…I don’t know what it is, but can you calm down and focus?”

“Of course! You can’t help but focus on the things you do together, not on this unusual day…”

“But it’s dangerous. Take it seriously…”

I could be in danger?!

“Whoop…Don’t worry. I just believe in Hanul. There’s no way Hanul will fail or go wrong, right?”

“Wow… That’s really…”

Are these words too burdensome?

What happened? I need to start doing something slowly.

Anyway, riding on Akame’s back like that, I started moving forward little by little while talking to Akame.

“First move forward 3 spaces. Then turn to the right five spaces, then turn to the left and move forward 7 spaces… Immediately after that, turn to the left and pretend to go forward one space, then somersault 6 spaces in front Land on an existing tile. Is that possible?”

“Are you sure you’ve already penetrated this labyrinth? You’re always strong, Hanul?”

Akame looked at me with a soft smile, then stared straight ahead and said confidently.

“Don’t worry, Hanul. It’s like carrying out such light orders…It’s no big deal to me, is it?”

And Akame, just as he himself boasted, carried out my words and moved forward very simply.

“…Here, take two big steps and take five steps!”

“…Now turn your body to the right and somersault to jump over 7 squares and move forward 5 times!!”

“…Here, lower your body completely and move forward ten steps as if you were crawling!!”

“Okay! You’re doing very well, Akame! This time, go back and forth in an oblique line like skiing, moving forward 4 squares!”

“Excellent! As expected, Akame with a fire sword! This time, like a figure skating triple axel, 3 squares 4 times!!”

There were a lot of difficult conditions, but as expected of Akame Sarameya, an S-rank superman and a part of the 3 major swordsmen, he carried out my words neatly without the slightest faltering.

“Damn it! That’s amazing, Akame!!”

Even though I told you, would you do all this?!

“…Ah, actually it wasn’t that difficult.”

[Hanwool owner, he would have solved it even if he told this owner.]

“Oh yeah??”

Whoa…Is this superhuman? I can’t believe it was an easy task even after handling such difficult orders without any hesitation… Even today, ordinary people are becoming humble…

“However, this is surprisingly an exercise. Trying to stay comfortable without shaking with the Hanwool on your back, so what should I say… It feels like training your senses a bit?”

I can’t even see the angle that will become stronger here! After all, he was like an S rank superman.

“Really? Superman’s gaze is cool! Ah, there, you have to jump in place three times, skip one space, and then move four spaces to the side.”

Anyway, after proceeding without any problems, we managed to escape the maze.

“Ah! It looked quite far away when I first saw it, but it came sooner than I thought, right?”

“…Hmm, it’s about 34 minutes…Is this enough for me to enjoy it leisurely…?”

“? Akame?”

“Yes?! Ah! That, that’s right! As expected, with Hanul and I together, this maze is easy!”

[Hmm. If it were me, I would have reached it faster and more comfortably.]

…No, this marble guy, it feels like he’s keeping Akame in check…What is it?

“Anyway, shall we go in?”

From noble mtl dot com

We arrived at the front of the black orb and entered the black orb…

“Eh???”

How can I say it… I met a completely different figure than I thought.

No, since the nine-tailed fox is sealed, a rather large nine-tailed fox is bound to something like a large chain and emits a bloody force… I thought of that, but this is what I see now…

Sit on a red sofa in a loose knitwear, watching TV with a golden tail on it like a pillow that makes you want to touch something that looks big and soft and slimy, chewing on snacks and scratching your stomach…

A bit… Me before I became a fortune teller, so I was showing off the power of an unemployed person in the corner of the room.

“Huh?!?! Who, who are you!? Ah, no! By the way, how did you get in here!?!?”

Even belatedly noticing that we had entered, he dropped the snack bag he was holding by his tail.

“…This is more embarrassing than I thought? Unexpected situation…”

“I see…”

[Hmm, does the existence of a Great Yokai end up like this if it’s sealed for a long time…This is quite interesting.]

No, it seems like it was sealed a long time ago when I heard about it. What is that modern outfit, how is the TV used, what is the sofa, and how did you get the snacks… What kind of civilization was the old civilization? Was it No, it’s not like that…

Sweep, anyway, it wasn’t just one or two armies to tackle…

“I’m sorry. I know that’s embarrassing, but… Let’s start with our conversation, shall we?”

Hmm, let’s talk first…?
