"I won't let you go. It's too dangerous. What if it collapses? You will be stuck there forever"
"I won't. I will use my system. And I have a bigger reason to come back"
Elena alone is enough reason to make me not give up on anything.
"Fine then, I will come with you"
"No, no. It's dangerous. What if something happened--"
"Wasn't I saying the same thing?"
"Please Daulla. Trust me. I will come back before morning"
"There are eight hours till morning"
"I will come before that"
"What if you don't?"
"Uhh...you can come look for me"
"I will kill myself if you don't return before 7 AM"
"..."
"Okay?"
"I will come before that, trust me"
"Fine. I will tell you. But I can't promise you will really find Oyuoral there"
"It's fine. Even if I don't find it, I will come back. No matter what happens"
"I understand. Come behind me"
She walked to the door and closed it, then walked to the bed and pushed it to the balcony.
After pushing...wait. Why did she move my bed...don't tell me...
"It's in my room?!"
"Took you a while to realize it"
She punched the ground.
"This is a ground, not some kind of secret door"
She punched again.
"It is below this" she said, punching the ground again.
"Are you sure?"
"As much as my love for you"
"Okay, step aside. I will punch"
"Be careful"
"Don't worry"
"It won't trigger Palace's emergency mode, right?" I asked.
"It won't"
"Nice" I raised my hand and said, "Lily, can you?"
[Permission Granted]
I punched the ground, but nothing happened.
"Give me more, Lily"
[Permission Granted]
[Permission Granted]
[Permission Granted]
[Permission Granted]
I punched the ground again.
"Still not enough"
Just how hard is it?
[Permission Granted]
[Permission Granted]
[Permission Granted]
"A crack appeared"
"Step back, Lil Das"
The ground area fell down and created a hole.
The hole is big enough for two people to pass.
I peeked down.
"It's dark and deep"
"Are you sure you will be okay?" Daulla asked.
"Don't worry, I have Lily with me"
"The pixie you talked about?"
"Okay then, see you--"
"Wait!"
Daulla grabbed my hand and pulled me close, holding my face with her two hands.
Why does this look awfully nostalgic?
She brought her face close to mine.
I closed my eyes. Soon after, I felt something soft and warm on my forehead.
On the forehead?!
"Here, take this too" Daulla said, giving me the sword.
"Thanks"
"You will get the kiss on the lips when you return"
"I will be the one to do that"
I jumped down.
How can something so deep be under the palace?
I am sure this has other entrances too.
Daulla has been here ever since she was a kid.
It's obvious that she would know these things. But what about grandpa and mom?
Well, even if they knew it, it's not like they would go in there...right?
I also need to find a way to get out of here.
I am still falling down.
The hole got wider and wider, and it looks like a real passage now.
There are thick walls made of stones on both sides. While at my front and back side, there are no walls.
I was able to see everything in the dark as soon as I jumped.
Hmm? There is something on the wall.
[Move]
I increased my weight on the backside to do a flip.
"What was that?"
[It was a door]
"Door in the wall"
[This palace must be a lot bigger than it is now]
"Yeah"
[Even the underground area must have been part of the palace once]
"I have to get ready to be surprised"
I don't know what I will see there.
[Maybe some monsters?]
"Yeah, right"
[There are chances]
"This is not a game"
[Who knows if monsters existed in this world?]
"No one knows, because no monsters existed"
[I am just stating the possibility]
Sigh~~
[There is no information on how this world was created]
"No one knows"
[Isn't that strange?]
"Ask those who lived at that time"
[According to science, this world was always there, and later life came to it]
"You are already looking into the internet, huh?"
[I am connected to you and your system. And your system can connect to all other systems, so I can access everything]
"Be careful"
[I am not going to use it again though]
"Why?"
[Your brain can't take too much data, it can be damaged]
"It can be repaired too, right?"
[It's better if you don't use your system to access the data]
"Fine, I will do it manually"
[According to the air and the sound, we will reach the ground in 8 seconds]
"Strengthen my legs please"
[Already done]
I landed.
[Your leg bones broke nonetheless]
"Heal them"
[Already did]
"You are fast"
So increasing the strength doesn't really withstand the damage. It just strengthens the muscles around the bones.
If I can find the Oyuoral, then I can make something like a mini suit to cover my body.
"But...it will just create an extra layer of skin"
Let's see what happens.
"I need to find it first"
[Your body temperature is going low]
"It's cold here after all"
[What will you do to warm up your body?]
"I don't need to do anything. I will be running at full speed after all"
[Should I boost all the processes?]
"Of course"
[Done]
"Which side should we go to now?"
[March forward]
"Why?"
[Don't know]
"Let me map it first"
My room is in the middle of the palace. So, if this is an underground palace, it's most likely the center too.
But...I don't the directions now.
"Lily, can you give me directions?"
[You jumped facing the balcony, so north]
"And I flipped in the air many times"
[26 flips out of which 12 were in the same direction. So according to the remaining flips, the side you are facing is east]
So, the front side should lead to the outer palace. And opposite to that, the west should be the back side.
"Now remains north and south"
Right would be the south, the remaining area of the palace. And left is north, the direction of the throne room.
"Let's go to the left"
[Why do you feel that way?]
"I noticed that the underground palace reminds me of some books I have read about my ancestors"
[Lets go then]
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"I won't let you go. It's too dangerous. What if it collapses? You will be stuck there forever"
"I won't. I will use my system. And I have a bigger reason to come back"
