Hiyama suddenly vanished to the other side of the revolving door.
"Darling!"
"Lord Hiyama!"
Yue and Shea cried out in surprise. Both of them and 2 quickly followed Hiyama's example, placing their hands on the wall.
The door mechanism activated, and they were simultaneously sent to the opposite side of the door.
It was pitch black inside. The door returned to its original position and stopped.
At that moment.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless sounds of air being sliced through rang out.
They were countless pitch-black arrows, reflecting no light at all, flying over to eliminate intruders.
Clang…! 2 reacted quickly, instantly drawing… "Snow's Promise"
She parried, knocking down all the incoming black arrows.
The clanging sound of metal colliding with metal rang out, not a single arrow was missed.
There were twenty arrows.
Dull, black arrows, as if carved from a single piece of metal, lay scattered on the ground.
When the last arrow hit the ground with a final sound, silence immediately returned to the surroundings.
At the same time, the surrounding walls began to emit light, illuminating the area.
The place where Hiyama and the others were was a ten-meter square room, with a straight, excavated path extending into the depths.
In the center of the room was a stone slab, with a message carved in round, girlish handwriting, just like a signboard— "Were you scared? Hey, were you startled? Did you pee yourself, hehe? Or were you injured? Did someone perhaps die…? Pfft, pfft!"
The wicked nature of Milady Reisen, the labyrinth's master, was evident from her setting traps and then specifically writing mocking messages.
In fact, almost all the subsequent stages in this labyrinth were like this.
Because Milady Reisen's personality was that of a mischievous little girl.
"Where's Shea?"
Just as Hiyama was about to move forward, he suddenly noticed that 2 and Yue were there, but the rabbit was missing.
Hiyama looked back at the revolving door behind him.
The door would turn half a circle once activated.
Therefore, if she wasn't in this room, it meant that she might have gone outside again when they entered.
Although a considerable amount of time had passed, she hadn't come.
Hiyama thought for a moment, then went to activate the revolving door.
It turned out Shea was there… and she was pinned to the revolving door.
"Boo hoo, Lord Hiyama… please don't look at me."
"But, I hope you can help me take this off… Boo, please don't look at me and then let me down…"
She looked very pitiful.
Shea had probably sensed the wind of the flying arrows. Although she couldn't see them, she barely managed to dodge them with her innate perception.
However, it seemed to have been a truly close call; her clothes were shot through in many places, and she was fixed in place like a Humanoid on an emergency exit sign.
Her rabbit ears were bent into a lightning shape to avoid the arrows, visibly trembling from the strained bending.
However, the reason Shea was crying was not from the fear of almost dying; the reason was… her feet were soaked.
"So you still haven't solved it…"
Hiyama's cold gaze was like a knife piercing Shea's heart.
"Boo hoo hoo… It's all Lord Hiyama's fault for making me drink so much black tea…"
Shea shed copious tears, and her rabbit ears trembled even more violently.
Exposing oneself in such a state in front of the man one loves is, without a doubt, every woman's nightmare.
"Don't move…"
Yue, uncharacteristically, showed a hint of sympathy for Shea and freed Shea from her crucifixion.
"…That… figure it out yourself, you overgrown child."
Yue said with a hint of disdain.
Shea immediately despaired, "How could this be… Shea can't face anyone now… Boo hoo hoo…"
In the end, it was 2, adhering to her maid duties, who took out a new set of clothes from her ring for Shea to change into.
"Miss… why do I feel like this outfit is a bit strange too?"
After Shea ran behind the rock mountain to change and then came out, she said somewhat awkwardly.
It was a white nurse's uniform.
"It suits you."
2, expressionless, uncharacteristically said a compliment.
But even when complimenting, her voice remained utterly flat.
"Hmph!"
Yue stared at Shea's two large mounds and coldly snorted.
On the other side, Hiyama stroked his chin, thinking that he should try to get both of them to wear nurse uniforms someday and play something special.
On their subsequent journey, they encountered various traps and the previously mentioned carvings with annoying messages.
Hiyama and 2 showed little emotional change.
Only Yue and Shea were irritated by the endless mocking carvings, especially Shea.
"Kill her… I will definitely find her secret base, thoroughly destroy it, and then kill her…"
Shea, carrying a 100-ton hammer, glared with bloodshot eyes, continuously muttering murderous words.
She had turned into a rabbit that would appear in a horror movie.
After some time, they arrived at a complex and bizarre space.
The stairs, paths, and entrances leading into the depths there were irregularly and chaotically connected, just like a place haphazardly assembled with Legos.
Stairs extending from the first floor connected to paths on the third floor, and then the paths on the third floor slowly sloped down, connecting back to the paths on the first floor.
However, in front of the stairs extending from the second floor, there was only a blank wall, which was frustrating to look at.
"How are we supposed to walk here?"
"It's just… a complete mess!"
Shea said, gritting her teeth.
Hiyama looked at these… complicated and intricate stairs, feeling a bit tricky for a moment.
Generally speaking, the simplest way to conquer such a "labyrinth"
is to mark each route and then continuously use trial and error.
Until the correct route is found.
But these stairs themselves had a special mechanism; they were like the magical stairs in Hogwarts, changing every once in a while.
So ordinary methods wouldn't work.
In the original work, the protagonists spent a week here, almost driven to a mental breakdown, before finding the correct room by luck.
"By luck?"
Hiyama had an idea.
He pulled Shea the rabbit closer and said to her with a smile: "Shea, activate your Future Sight and see which is the correct route."
Recommendation
Chapter 82: Which Way to Go?
Shea's rabbit ears twitched, and she swallowed, saying: "Shea's Future Sight can't be controlled by me yet, it always activates randomly…"
"And, and Lord Hiyama, don't you also have Future Sight?"
"Can't you just look yourself…?"
Shea's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and finally, under Hiyama's "kind" gaze, she lowered her head and mumbled like a child who had done something wrong.
"This is a rare opportunity to show off, Shea."
Hiyama coaxed.
"If you can successfully find the correct route this time, I can reward you with one wish."
"Really, anything?"
Upon hearing this, Shea's rabbit ears instantly perked up.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"However, if you fail… let me think…"
"I'll turn you into spicy rabbit head."
Although Hiyama said it with a smile, there was no amusement in his eyes.
Shea was startled, trembling, "Shea doesn't want to be made into that… that dish that sounds even more delicious…"
Under Hiyama's "kind" gaze, Shea sighed resignedly and stepped forward, staring intently with her rabbit eyes.
But she looked until tears flowed, yet found no "fragments of the future."
"It seems you need a little stimulation."
Hiyama said faintly, then kicked the rabbit onto one of the paths 927.
"Ouch!"
Shea was caught off guard. As soon as she stepped onto this path, her rabbit ears twitched.
Thud! A sound rang out.
"Eek!"
Shea's body trembled, and she stiffly looked down at her feet.
Shea's foot had sunken into a floor tile; that tile had sunk under her weight.
At that very moment— Swish, swish, swish, swish! The sound of blades sliding rang out, simultaneously rotating at high speed.
Vibrating, jagged, large circular blades shot out from the gaps between the sections of the left and right walls.
The one from the right wall shot out at neck height, and the one from the left shot out at waist height, cutting horizontally from the front! "Ugh… Wah! Ugh… Wah wah wah wah wah!"
Shea made a trembling, wavering sound, reacting extremely quickly by squatting down, barely managing to dodge the pincer attack of the two chainsaws.
In fact, her dodge was extremely narrow; even the fur at the tips of her rabbit ears was shaved off.
"Lord Hiyama! I'm going to die!"
Shea cried out, her back to Hiyama.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and activate Future Sight."
