Completely Empty
"Hey! Cedric! There are no enemies at all!"
Mary, who was full of enthusiasm for some reason, started complaining.
Maybe she's just thinking that because of today's work, she'll have to spend more time looking at the magic smartphone.
"There were a lot of people here yesterday!"
"Really, what's going on?"
Shiro also tilted her head.
"Maybe something happened in the dungeon where the stampede occured?"
"Grandmother defeats all the monsters that appear at the entrance of the dungeon!"
Mary has full trust in Anastasia.
For Mary, Anastasia is her respected grandmother, a brave woman who saved the world, and a hero.
"Still, isn’t it strange that there are no enemies around the dungeon at all?"
"Right! Even if I check with my divine eye, there are no monsters or Anastasia-san and the others near the dungeon!"
"W...what!"
I was surprised.
Reacting more than necessary to everything is a habit of my skeleton days when I didn't have a brain, so don't worry about it!
"Grandmother and the others were so impatient and they continued to conquer the dungeon!"
"I hope so..."
Shiro remained silent with a hint of worry.
Then, we hurried to the dungeon where the stampede was supposed to be occurring.
"As expected, there's no one here..."
"There's a lot of evidence that there is a fight!"
Near the entrance of the dungeon, there are trees that have fallen due to battle by slashing, and areas where the ground has been gouged out by a giant magic.
"Anastasia-san and the others are fighting here."
"Yeah. A fierce battle..."
When you become an expert at the level of Anastasia or Kenji, you instantly kill all monsters, so there are no battle marks left behind.
"The fact that Anastasia-san and the others are no where to find is because the enemy is quite capable!"
"That's right..."
"T... there's no way Grandmother was killed!"
"Anastasia died because you were obsessed with the magic smartphone."
"D… don’t kill Grandmother off without permission!"
Mary frantically begins searching around the dungeon.
Even though there was no sign of anyone around the dungeon.
"This means that Anastasia and the others have been wiped out..."
I waited for Mary to leave before I spoke to Shiro.
"I wonder? The only thing I can say for sure is that they're not outside the dungeon. No matter how much I search with the Divine Eye, I can't find them..."
"So, the only possibility is they are inside the dungeon…"
"It's suspicious that they are inside the dungeon, too. There aren't any monsters coming out at all!"
"Perhaps, as Mary said, Anastasia and the others have started conquering the dungeon?"
"I don’t think that’s possible. If Anastasia-san and the others could conquer the dungeon by themselves, they wouldn’t bother calling us!
Well, it's possible that something unexpected happened and they ended up in the dungeon..."
"I see..."
"Cedric! Grandmother is nowhere to be found!"
After a while, Mary returned with her eyes red and swollen.
She must have been crying in a place where we weren't around.
"Well, they're not there! There's no sign of Anastasia and the others at all!"
"I knew that, but... it might happen!"
"Then you were also looking for the corpses of Anastasia and the others!"
"Don't say such cruel things!"
Tears spilled from Mary's eyes.
"It's probably because you wasted the whole day getting absorbed in the magic smartphone!"
"That's……"
Mary is at a loss for words.
With this, she won't want to look at the magic smartphone for a while.
"Master, don’t abuse Mary-san, let's quickly search the dungeon!
I'm pretty sure they're not outside, so we have no choice but to search inside the dungeon!"
"Right! It's late today, so let's camp here!"
"Why are we going to camp in this situation!"
Mary grabs my collar and lunges at me.
"Because the sun is setting..."
"Aren't you worried about Grandmother and Kenji?"
"I'm worried, but we'd be in trouble if we fell asleep like someone I know at a critical moment!"
"Ugh..."
Mary becomes so depressed that she can't even make a sound.
"Master. Stop playing around and let's go!
If you drink the elixir, you can stay up all night for days!"
"Don't use your precious elixir like an energy drink to stay awake!"
"I got a lot from Britney Anee-sama, so it's okay!"
"Why does Britney give Shiro an elixir every time there's a problem?"
I ask her something that I've been really curious about.
"Isn’t that because she likes me?
Britney Anee-sama also said that she receives a lot of elixir from the princess!"
"I think it’s wrong to give someone an elixir as an expression of love!"
"I see... I think it's normal to give elixir to someone you don't want to die."
"But you're immortal!"
"I’m immortal, but unlike Master, if my head gets crushed, I’ll die!
I don't have a special kind of immortality like Master, where I can't die even if I turn into a poop!"
"Even I would die if my soul was hunted by the Death Scythe!"
"Death Scythe is a sacred weapon used by the Grim Reaper, but no one else has it!"
"Blackbeard had it!"
"That's the original weapon of the witch Merlin!"
"Is the witch Merlin the god of death?"
"Listen. It’s not normal!
Even if Ori Hime attacks you, you won't die!"
"That's right..."
At that time, Shiro and I were completely unaware that we had raised a huge flag.
