“…… !”
It was really a close distance.
Just before the owner of the voice found us, the door closed silently right in front of us.
I sat down silently as I felt the strength in my legs loosen.
It was only later that I breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Ha…….”
When I came to my senses, I realized that there was only darkness around me.
The last time I came, the inside was definitely lit up with lights.
‘I think the assassins came in and touched the magic lighting system inside the kindergarten.’
Unlike the outside where there was even a window, it was a place without a single ray of light, so I couldn’t see it at all.
‘Umm.’
It was then. Jake suddenly mumbled.
“…… light ball.”
Immediately after, something burst out in front of me with a ‘poof’. It was a bright light in the shape of a small sphere.
“Wow, there’s a light?”
“It is wonderful that you can create light with magic, Lord Jake.”
The children were delighted. Of course I did too.
When the light came on, it felt like I could breathe a little.
We sat in a circle around Jake, who had the light.
Then we fell into silence.
“…… When do we have to leave?”
After a while, Ninaina carefully asked a question as if to herself.
Her voice was a bit gloomy, unlike the usual Ninaina.
Actually, I was also curious.
How long do we have to wait for all the assassins to disappear?
Are there any knights coming to our rescue?
They went to the classroom and we had disappeared, so wouldn’t it be misunderstood that we had been kidnapped?
It was an enclosed space with nothing but a few air holes.
The door at the entrance was also very thick, so I had no idea what was going on outside.
The only sounds we could hear even when we were standing still were the quiet sounds of our breathing and the hum of the empty space.
“I don’t know either.”
After belatedly, I answered Ninaina and shook my head slightly from side to side.
Then, Alice asked me a question.
“Well, by the way, Miss Emir. How did you know this place existed? I never dreamed that this kindergarten had a secret place.”
“Ah, that.”
As I was about to answer, Cedric intercepted me.
“Hmm, actually, I was the first to find this place before.”
“…… that’s right. Cedric told me about this place a few months ago.”
“Aha, I see.”
Alice nodded her head.
After that, silence will come again…… It was obvious, but Alice spoke up again.
“Shall we ask the fairy again? Please take a look inside the kindergarten.”
“Well, that sounds like a good idea, but…….”
I glanced slightly and nodded.
Because there was something that bothered me a little.
“…… Even so, Sir Abish is a fairy king, so I’m worried that we’re asking too often.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that! Sir Abish said that to me. Don’t hesitate, call me whenever you need me.”
If so, that’s a relief.
I swallowed a gulp for a moment, thinking of Abish’s unusual personality.
‘Yes…… There’s nothing else.’
I nodded.
“Okay, ask for help.”
After a while, another light the same size as the light Jake had created.
Abish appeared.
“Okay, what did you call me for again this time? What else is this dark place?”
“That’s, Fairy King.”
At Alice’s explanation, Absy’s face gradually darkened.
Well, everyone would be like that.
An assassin suddenly appears in the kindergarten where the contract summoner who you treated like a granddaughter attends!
It must be a feeling that is really hard to put into words.
Moments later, Abish floated something that looked like a transparent membrane in front of us.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a magic that allows you to see the outside world.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
It looked like a magic CCTV-like concept.
“I’ll have to learn this later,” Jake muttered to himself.
Soon we focused on the screen.
“I want to see the classroom first, Sir Abish.”
“Okay.”
Soon the screen changed. The classroom in the reflection……Surprisingly, there was no sign of a brawl!
Only the front and rear doors were wide open and black footprints were stamped on the floor.
It must have been that some of the assassins scoured the classroom looking for us.
“Then, this time the hallway!”
The screen changed to the hallway.
At the same time, we were surprised.
It was because the knights were walking through the hallways with both hands in the shape of a funnel, shouting.
“Can you hear the sound, Sir Abish?”
They seem to be looking for us based on the shape of their mouths, but I wanted to make sure, so I asked carefully.
