52-3. Spirits respond to people’s emotions.
***
A table split in half.
A pile of paper flying in the air.
Falled bookshelves were informing us of the seriousness of the situation.
I put several layers of defense magic circles on the door just in case.
Now it has turned into a piece of wood, and the wind is blowing through the open space.
“It’s been a while. Laplace.”
A little while ago, there was a reason why Laplace interrupted the broadcast in a hurry during the rune scramble.
The Office of the President of Grand Hearts Academia.
There is a man from the Yinrang tribe with a long scar over his left eye,
“..Are you here?”
Because he was threatening Laplace with a steel hatchet pointed at him.
If it was just a little bit later, the location of Richt and Fine could have been discovered.
Laplace also prepared a message called a special rune as an SOS signal.
To inform the fact that Roque Grancia has arrived at the academy.
Doesn’t it make sense that it’s a reverse electrode that suddenly gives 500 points?
“Yeah, did you think Jim wouldn’t come?”
Rocke expresses anger with his golden wolf eyes shining.
“This… What kind of trick is this all about? Laplace?”
He made the sound of metal scraping in his throat.
You can feel the life from the sharpened ax blade. It felt like my whole body had already been cut in two.
“Isn’t this the usual sports day? Your majesty.”
Gulp. Laplace was looking for a way to survive here, rolling his eyes.
I was secretly groping for the bookshelf behind my back, planning to escape to Akasha’s temple.
“..As usual? This is the usual sports day.”
But, did you read that thought?
Kwaang—! With a sound, a blade made of air passed by Laplace’s ear.
“As far as Jim knows, the fall sports day will be exactly one month away.”
Locke’s expression became even colder.
“It’s a sports event that our Fine is participating in, but I don’t think he knew that either.”
I think his daughter, who won’t get sick even if he puts it in his eyes, is going to participate, because he’s already cleared his schedule.
“..Answer me. Laplace. Why did you advance the schedule?”
His anger grew even more.
Laplace felt his whole body stiffen from the death that froze to the bone.
The feeling of facing a huge beast.
“Since there was an attack by the head…. It changed the atmosphere and accelerated it.”
I barely opened my mouth and started making excuses.
“Really? Then why don’t we just relay the image of our precious Fine?”
It turns out that even the sage’s future foresight cannot prevent Roque Grancia from coming to the academy.
No matter how much Laplace searched the Library of Truth, he couldn’t find a way to stop him.
“Because the princess doesn’t want her identity exposed. It was for your convenience.”
In the end, everything depended on a man named Rich.
“I’ll be with Richt. Is Jim wrong?”
“….”
Will he really get permission from Locke to become the princess’s dark knight?
“What is the next game? Laplace.”
“It is a room escape game with spirits.”
Or really…. It means that he will become a thief who will enjoy the times.
“..Would you like to watch it together?”
Laplace conciliated the emperor with a mischievous smile.

Fine and I were locked in a room right now.
And that too while handcuffed to each other.
It sounds crazy, but it’s real.
“..Licht. Do you really need to do this?”
“The rules are there, so I can’t help it.”
A shiny ring attached to my wrist, so we couldn’t leave each other’s side.
Room escape game.
This event, named ‘Eclipse Escape’,
A game in which two members of the same team team up to solve puzzles with the spirit and escape from the room.
As if someone had written a hand, they ended up in the same group as Fine.
“Escape from inside the academy…. That’s what you meant.”
That’s right. I didn’t know that I would be teleported to a room prepared in advance.
I won the skirmish because I took the golden rune.
In the game that followed, a strange current flowed between me and Fine.
‘The team that escapes the most within the time limit wins.’
Perhaps Dennis prepared it. Just looking at the handcuffs, it seems to be made of his magic circle.
“This, it won’t break..”
A Möbius strip that connects the beginning and the end. No matter how much Fine gave her strength, nothing changed.
The moment you cut this off without unlocking it with the key, it was said to be a disqualification. Is it natural?
“As expected, it’s not even possible by force.”
I tried to open the door, but the lock showed no sign of being unlocked.
The sofa, table, and bookshelf are placed in a room reminiscent of a detective office.
“..First of all, let’s read the note above there.”
There was a piece of note with dense writing on it.
The blood-stained paper even has an ominous aura.
[Note at 14:11 on September 30th.]
[This is Eric, who runs the Silver Wolf Detective Agency.]
[I am currently attacked by an assailant and locked in this room with my assistant, Kate.]
[The door is locked from the outside, and the assistant and I are handcuffed together.]
[What does the culprit want? If I don’t escape from this room, it seems like something big will happen.]
[Even now, Kate looks at me and licks her lips.]
[If anyone sees this memo, please tell me how to escape.]
[Looking at the night sky where the blue moon rises.]
“… Left by Eric Silverwolf.”
It was an escape room game with storytelling. Is it the setting that Fine is Kate?
“Then Eric…? Is this Licht…?”
Looking around, there are no CCTVs monitoring us, and Fine seems to be cramped.
With her master piece unlocked, she was curiously looking through her notes.
From noble mtl dot com
“First, let’s find a way to take out the spirits. Miss Kate.”
I joked with Fine as a joke. It’s probably a space prepared by Dennis, so it won’t be discovered by others.
Now we don’t have blacks.
Because spirit induction magic is a magic that has a time limit.
The guy who flirted with Fine even when he disappeared.
“Yes, let’s find it quickly.”
Fine also nodded and expressed her affirmation.
I wouldn’t have said that Laplace was escaping with the spirit for nothing.
There must be some way to bring out the spirits.
September 30th at 14:11.
Is this really a meaningless combination of words?
Looking at the calendar hanging on the wall, it is August.
“..Oh. Licht.”
As I move my steps to turn over the calendar, a clicking sound echoes through the room.
“Sorry. I hadn’t even thought of it.”
Pine immediately clung to me. The length of the handcuffs was short, so the two of us had no choice but to stick together.
“Oh, no.. It’s okay. Might be…. Yes.”
Fine pricks up her white ears. Two ears that move like antennas catch my sight.
I shouldn’t care. Difficulties in escaping
“I set the calendar for September. Should I even circle it in red on the 30th? Blood.”
As I barely came to my senses and turned over the calendar to meet September, a picture of a person folding colored paper appeared.
A calendar with an origami sequence drawn on it.
“..Licht, this.”
“I think I understand.”
It wasn’t just blood on the note. I looked at the back of the note I was holding.
As expected, it’s a common trick.
A tradition carried over from the original .
This is why I was able to solve the puzzle at once even when I went to Nex and the dungeon, and was able to easily find out the conditions in the rune battle.
The production crew were crazy about puzzles.
It was even worse in the sequel.
Because there was a maze that had to be solved in 3D or around the country collecting easter eggs from the PV.
“The magic circle of the Aureus family that I saw in the Spirits Intensive Lecture must have looked like this….”
Elimists are rare. It must have been equipped with a sensitivity scroll.
Because it’s hard for anyone to be honest with their feelings.
“Okay, it’s done.”
By folding the notes according to the calendar, a magic circle is completed by overlapping.
Now I need to attach this to the center of my chest.
There is only one scroll.
“….”
Should I hug Fine over a piece of paper? It seems so perverted.
“Licht? What are you doing when you don’t call Kkamang..?”
Even if I had my own selfish intentions in the joint last time, I still feel reluctant to do such a forced job.
“Do you want Fine to sing for you this time?”
There is a difference between voluntary and unwillingness. I’ll take responsibility for what I did, but I don’t want to do what the organizers say.
How much water did Fine drink to soothe her hiccups?
Let’s skip this time. Even if I leave the room later, what should I do?
“White..?”
“Yes, I want to see you after a long time.”
I barely spoke with a trembling mouth. In a worried mind, I suppressed my desire and regained my reason.
“..A flirt.”
What does being a playboy mean to Fine?
Even when I mention Hayang, my cheeks puff out and my eyes roll.
She is jealous even of her own spirit. She took her scroll from me though she was willing to.
[Lee Suhyun♡Fine Grancia 19% ‘NEW!!’]
At that moment, the status window immediately appeared in front of her.
I had no choice but to keep my gaze fixed.
“Licht is really a pervert.”
When Fine placed her hand on the center of her chest, she immediately saw her magic disappearing scroll.
“Sorry.”
“That kind of thing.. Was something I liked. As seen in the book…. It was a beast.”
I have nothing to say. Because my mistake was right. I’d just close my eyes tight
The producer is evil. If it was a good feeling earlier, I’ll post it then.
“Hayangah!! Stop..!”
The moment she heard Fine’s urgent voice, she saw a white wave that obscured her vision.
Fine’s wolf spirit jumped out in front of her and lunged at me.
The white one holding my shoulders and standing on both feet.
I couldn’t react because it happened instantaneously. Biting your hair….
“Aww..”
I thought it was ripped off. Nothing happened.
If I had to question it, would it be true that my vision has become dark?
I thought I was getting karma for doing so many bad things to Fine, but her lifeline is attached.
Hayangi put my head in her mouth and stay still.
Originally, I wasn’t the kind of guy who acted.
“No..! Hayang!! Don’t eat Richt..!!”
Fine is bruising his spirit with a weeping sound next to me.
Because of the handcuffs, the distance is close, so it is difficult to attack.
“Pine, you don’t have to worry.”
I hurriedly comforted Fine. If it was an actual attack, he wouldn’t have done this.
“Maybe… is it an expression of affection?”
I saw it in a documentary, was it a story about hiding the instincts of a beast in front of a precious being?
It seems that the love level has gone up.
I never thought the spirit of Fine would do this to me.
Lol, getting jealous of your own spiritual manifestation.
