Magical★Explorer-Chapter 130: The Twilight Road: See Through Dungeon 2

Have you ever crossed the wall?

Have you ever works hard while enduring the pain to cross the wall?

I……just now have abandoned something important to do cross that wall.

Aah, I wonder why. The wall that didn’t even shake after I hit it with third hand, disappeared like it was never there in the first place.

But I wanted someone to say that it isn’t so.

I am dressed as a magical girl.

[Magical Girl (Mahou Shoujo)] is a kind of [dream] that enthuses young girls in elementary school and old men alike. Personally, it was a kind of [Sanctuary].

As I wear the magical girl outfit, it is like that Sanctuary being contaminated yet it felt like I was finally united with that Sanctuary and my heart got purified.

Perhaps it is the closest thing to being reborn.

I am currently in a dim, humid dungeon but my heart felt like I am lying on a vast prairie with my arms outstretched.

I am not scared anymore.

“Pu, PuPuPu, Takioto-san, it, it sure looks good on you isn’t it.”

“Is that so.”

“Th, that’s right, Buh, eh, umm, It looks better on you than I thought.”

You too huh, Gabby.

But now my mind doesn’t care about such little things.

“Ahh, what a good atmosphere…..”

“This is a dungeon though, did you get so happy that your mind already broke?”

“It’s like he was enlightened. Takioto-san, are you okay?”

“It’s alright, the world is sparkling★ for me you know.”

“Somehow, it seems he’s already gone. I have a wig with me, do you want me to put it on you?”

“…..That’s a wonderful idea.”

Can you not raise the crossdress level in me? Rather, why are you guys chatting so casually? Did you guys bond when you put this on me?

“C’mon, please focus up!”

“But I can’t get my tension up you know.”

“Then, let’s do some signature pose. Nanami-san said, if you do a signature pose, you can focus your body and mind you know.”

Did Nanami open a new world for Yuika when she was talking with her? I think their conversation was even more commonsense breaking than the one between Nanami and Nee-san.

“I have a tripod with me so let’s take a picture. You see, actually, Nanami-san lent it to me before we enter the dungeon.”

“Do you really want to immortalize such a black history……?”

“It was embarrassing for me at first but it became funnier over time you know. Moreover, Takioto-san, don’t you want to see how you looked right now in a picture?”

Well, getting to see something scary like that, I wonder what will become of me. Rather, she said that she borrowed the tripod from Nanami right? Just in what context did she managed to borrow it from her.

Rather, why is Gabby taking a pose with a cane? She was acting so embarrassed before too, did her embarrassment disappeared after she saw how I looked?

“Now, Takioto-san. Please take the most important place in the middle. Since Gabby-san takes that side I will be on the opposite side okay?”

“Should I raise my arm a little higher?”

“I think you are perfect with that pose!”

Somehow, aren’t they a good friend now? Seeing them get along like this I can’t bring myself to say no. Just when did they become so close? I guess something happened between when they were changing and the time I changed into this. They quarreled so much before too, I wonder what happened. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

…….They really look happy chatting with each other huh.

Let’s make my resolve then.

“I just have to do it alright, C’mon Just do it! !”

Standing the already posed Gabby, I lower my hips and put my hand on my katana, it is the drawing technique pose.

Yuika set her Tsukuyomi Traveller on the tripod. After that, she came over and put something on my head. This is.

“A wig?”

“Please don’t move okay……! Let’s go with the flow here.”

She stretches her white arm. She pinched her hair and straighten it but did she forget? That outfit is open on the side you know?

If she showed me that white, beautiful, mysteriously immoral side, let alone my body, my heart will start moving too you know.

Yup, it was right to leave my extra clothes in my luggage.

“Fufu, Alright! Then I’m taking it.”

Saying so, Yuika circle around my back and, CHEESE.

Then the moment I saw the photo, I realized.

Just now, a page in my Black History has been born.

———————————

The same cave dungeon continued after we enter the magic circle. However, there’s something that we must understand about it.

From here on, we are traveling on a floor that has a lot of traps. And unfortunately, these are high-level traps that my ring can’t detect.

You see, in a lot of ways, this place is out to kill me.

Why wasn’t the game’s Iori blocked by the barrier? There was no text explaining that but perhaps there was a minuscule possibility that he was wearing it too? I want to see that.

Speaking of the unexpected, the first time I met Nanami was the same wasn’t it. There were choices that never appeared in the game….I don’t intend to see everything as a game but it seems I still think like that subconsciously. This time it is just an outfit but I might make a fatal mistake in future events.

Rather, I have to focus on defending them first. It will turn into a broadcast accident if there’s erotic happening here after all. I absolutely have to do it.

Let’s fire up and focus.

“Ara, I wonder what that is?”

Saying so, I followed Gabby’s eyes. For some reason, there is something like a Kusudama hanging on a string from the stone ceiling. No matter how I look at it, it looks suspicious.

Gabby head over toward it.

“Wait Wait WAit! ! ! ! !”

“STOP! GABBY-SAN! !”

“? It’s fine, I won’t just pull it you know.”

Although I’m certain that she won’t just pull it but if it’s Gabby I can imagine her stumble and pull it by accident.

“! Takioto-san, I have a bad feeling about this……..!”

“Really! ?”

“Yes, my intuition says that the area over there is dangerous.”

If it’s Yuika’s intuition then there’s no doubt about it.

I immediately remove the baggage and take out a lower grade earth magic stone. I activated it and aim it at the area where the string is.

Then the magic circle emerges in front of me, from which a stone about the size of a person’s head flies toward my target. It hit the ground next to the string. At that moment, water shot out from below.

It quickly lost its momentum but it was enough to soak you if you get close to it.

“Wh, what was that. Wasn’t it just water? Does it really think that it can stop us with that?”

“….wha, what a sneaky trap.”

“Th, this is bad, isn’t it!? It was aiming exactly at that spot too.”

Gabby tightens her eyebrows and looks at us. Sorry, but I can’t talk about it.

More importantly that trap, it was as Yuika said, it was precisely aiming for our vital spot on the lower body. Certainly, it is natural to aim for a vital spot in battle but it is crazy to set up such a thing in this kind of place.

“It is going to finish us off with one blow…..”

“Ta, Takioto-san. We just arrived here right? Isn’t that too much of an overkill?.”

I think so too. It was a feint using the string while the real trap springs up to attack you from below you know!?

We have to change our mindset. Focus, we have to focus. Remember the time I meditated under that waterfall. At that time, Sempai was in a wet shrine maiden outfit getting soaked by the waterfall……No, No, No, No. My heart has wandered astray.

I have to focus up here. I have to protect both of them.

“You two, just what is…..? Well, never mind, let’s keep moving.”

Saying so, Gabby tried to go on ahead.

“Wait a minute Gabby, I am something important to tell you.”

I hurriedly take her hand and make her turn around. Then I take a deep breath to drive away the evil thoughts.

“I don’t know how you think about me but you and Yuika are both important to me.”

“HaEh! Wh, what’s this!?”

“I want to protect you, right now, all I really want is to protect you.”

Stunned, Gabby stares at me.

I take her hand to my chest and stares into Gabby’s stunned eyes.

“You see I, I don’t want you to get hurt, Gabby.”

Yes, I don’t want to scar her heart. That was what was in my mind. However, I won’t know what Gabby will do. At worst, she might drag us into it too. So.

“This place is dangerous. That’s why I will be on the vanguard. Please follow behind me, if something happens I will protect you.”

At least I have to get her behind me. So please, don’t do any more weird thing alright?

This feeling, please get through to her.

“Yes….!”

Seeing her small nod, I released her hand. Then I sent a signal to Yuika to advance, she was staring at me with her mouth half-open like she is trying to say [Uwaa].

“What’s wrong, Yuika?”

“No–, it’s nothing.”

“I see. Yuika. You stay close to my stole too. In the worst case, I will act as a wall for you.”

The one who will be left with the least damage if the outfit turned transparent should be me after all. But I want to avoid that with all I can and I have no intention to get soaked at all.

“If you find something strange, tell me immediately alright. I trust you. Let’s get through this together!”

I have to use everything I can. If it is necessary, I will use the magic stones too.

It won’t need much except for some parts after all. This is no time to be stingy.
