“… Ann, will things be okay?” (Amelia)

 

 

When this happens, I feel like it’s a waste of time to have flown off to sleep.

 

It’s what I voiced to myself, but after all, that happened.

 

I know I have to give up on her.

 

But I’m getting tired of bouncing between affirmation and denial, hoping that I still would, and then saying that I wouldn’t.

 

I sit up on the bed and bury my face in my knees, regretting that I might as well have stayed asleep.

 

 

(Worrying about others rather than worrying about yourself being trapped, what a funny young girl.) (Voice)

 

“Who are you!?” (Amelia)

 

(Who? Well, that’s as much as I want to answer. I thought the chains were noisy for a while now, and when I listened to them, I could hear the voice of a young girl. And now I’m free. So I thought I’d give it a chance to talk to her. I’d like to introduce myself if we could have a conversation, but unfortunately, I don’t know who I am. So, I don’t know how to answer your question.) (Voice)

 

 

I didn’t think I would get a response when I blurted out a few words to myself.

 

I looked around, but there was no one in this room but me.

 

I wondered if there was someone on the other side of the door, but this voice somehow didn’t feel like I was hearing it with my ears.

 

Could it be a ghost? While I was thinking, the owner of the voice seemed to be troubled, and then solved his problem.

 

 

(So young girl, can you give me a name?) (Voice)

 

“Eh?” (Amelia)

 

 

No, it seems that didn’t solve my worries, but I just pushed my worries back.

 

Is it not a good idea, but a stray thought?

 

It’s the first time I’ve been asked to give a name to someone I asked “who”.

 

 

“Huh~?” (Amelia)

 

(Well, just take it easy and decide.) (Voice)

 

 

I’m not worried, but confused…

 

 

“Well, Mike, then.” (Amelia)

 

(Hmm, then I’ll be Mike from now on. Nice to meet you, young girl, I’m Mike.) (Voice => Mike)

 

“Is that alright?” (Amelia)

 

 

Even so, I wonder if the reason why I can easily decide is that I have the courage to just sit down.

 

I’ve heard that people can organize their thoughts after sleeping.

 

However, even though I gave them a name, I wonder if it’s okay to introduce myself like this since the owner of the voice is definitely suspicious.

 

However,

 

 

(So young girl, what’s your name?) (Mike)

 

“Hmmm, then can I leave that for you?” (Amelia)

 

 

I guess I was more lonely being alone in this space than I thought.

 

I decided to talk to this mysterious voice, but I didn’t say my name just in case.

 

 

(Then you can be Young Girl.) (Mike)

 

“Eh, I prefer a cuter name than that.” (Amelia)

 

(Hmm, I don’t know what makes a cute name cute.) (Mike)

 

“Well, you can call me Amy, that’s what my friends called me!” (Amelia)

 

(Okay, so, Amy…) (Mike)

 

“What is it?” (Amelia)

 

(Where are we?) (Mike)

 

“I’m also someone who wants to know.” (Amelia)

 

 

What is this person(?) asking me when I’m also trapped? I wonder if this voice came to me when I lost my consciousness and I am now having auditory hallucinations.

 

 

(Oh, I’m sorry. It was dark, I couldn’t see anything, and I couldn’t move my body. You were the only one who could receive this telepathic message. There were some other people in the room, but they all seemed to be unconscious.) (Mike)

 

“Is there anyone else nearby?” (Amelia)

 

(It’s not accurate to say that I’m here, only that I can feel that I’m here. I am one of them.) (Mike)

 

“Oh, you can’t see, can you?” (Amelia)

 

(Yes, plus I feel like I’m in something, and I can’t move around.) (Mike)

 

“You’re just like me.” (Amelia)

 

(Well, my feeling is that I am trapped, and also… oh, I would say that with my current situation, I am indeed trapped.) (Mike)

 

“You just realized that!?” (Amelia)

 

(Yes, because as far as I can remember, I’ve never been caught before.) (Mike)

 

“Isn’t it natural because you don’t remember anything?” (Amelia)

 

“Oh! You’re right!” (Mike)

 

 

This is not a hallucination.

 

If it was a hallucination, it would be too sad to be talking to such a confused hallucination.

 

 

“I see, I was just trying to ask for help if you hadn’t been caught.” (Amelia)

 

(Hmm, from what Amy said, I’m guessing you want to get out of there?) (Mike)

 

“That’s right.” (Amelia)

 

(Hmmm… This is just another chance for me to get out of here. Well, since that sounds like fun, I’ll help you break out of here.) (Mike)

 

“Really!?” (Amelia)

 

(I don’t know what I can do, but I will try to help you!) (Mike)

 

“Then we’ll figure it out together!” (Amelia)

 

(Then we should start by exploring our current location. If you can open the door, you’ll find yourself in enemy territory, so confirming the escape route should be done before being chased.) (Mike)

 

“All right!” (Amelia)

 

(I just said that, but can you do it?) (Mike)

 

“I might?” (Amelia)

 

 

It might be a good idea to come up with a plan first and not say I don’t know.

 

I recently said the same thing to Ann, but it’s easy to do this kind of thing.

 

I put my ear against the wall and accumulated magic power at the tip of my hand and knocked.

 

 

(Ho! Ho! You seem to have quite the interesting skill) (Mike)

 

“You can tell?” (Amelia)

 

(Hmm, exploring using waves of magic power. Surely, with this will have no problem confirming the escape route.) (Mike)

 

 

That may be so.

 

Memorization using my brain, a clear picture stays in my memory to some extent.

 

That may be why.

 

 

“This place.” (Amelia)

 

(Do you recognize it, or in this case, do you remember hearing it? Do you?) (Mike)

 

“Yeah, I know this place.” (Amelia)

 

 

The map that Ann and I had explored together overlapped easily, and I am able to start from where I was on.

 

The rest was just a matter of filling in the missing pieces as I continue.

 

 

(Oh, that’s a good sign. Do you have an escape route?) (Mike)

 

“Yeah, wait.” (Amelia)

 

 

The place where I am now is a room located a little off the path taken by the impostor classmate.

 

I’ve got a good grasp of the path that leads here.

 

 

(The first thing to do is to go back to the beginning. The question now becomes, how do we get out? What are the problems?) (Mike)

 

“Um, maybe the sturdy chain and door?” (Amelia)

 

(Hmmm, the door has a magic diffusion technique carved into it 0and the chain has the effect of releasing excess magic power to the ground. It’s probably a measure to prevent a hero from using their powerful magical power, but wow. I can’t believe they only prepared this much.) (Mike)

 

 

I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks it is too much.

 

If the voice, Mike’s words, are true, magic won’t work on the door.

 

If I try to use a lot of magical power, this chain will just make the magical power flow through the ground like electricity.

 

As a result, I have ended here and now I am powerless.

 

But what I am more curious about is how he understood what I just said without even looking at it.

 

I guessed from the way he and I have been talking that there must be a distance between us, and I even noticed it when I was told that I was locked in and wearing one.

 

What kind of person is this voice(?)?

 

I felt something unfathomable, but the only way to escape was to rely on this voice.

 

 

(Then let’s change the way you’re thinking.) (Mike)

 

“Eh?” (Amelia)

 

(The door dissipates magic, the chain lets magic flow, but the door only dissipates magic, it doesn’t erase it. The chain only lets the magic flow, but it does not mean that it cannot flow back. Hmmm… Now, let me teach you a trick.) (Mike)

 

 

He has amnesia, he doesn’t know who he is, and yet he has a wealth of knowledge.

 

 

(The first thing to do is to suck in plenty of magic from the end of the chain, fill the room with it, and break down the door. To be more specific, yes, let’s submerge this room in a sea of magical energy so that it doesn’t dissipate and then blow up the door. So, I will support you, well, can you get ready in three minutes?) (Mike)

 

 

However, the idea is quite amazing.

 

I’m not sure if I can really trust him.

 

But…

 

 

“Mommy said that women should have the guts! Mike, please!” (Amelia)

 

(You seem to have quite the strong mother, Amy. I agree. So let’s not waste that spirit.) (Mike)

 

 

I’ll put off worrying and regretting for now.

 

I’ll do everything I can!

 

 

(Please learn this technique.) (Mike)

 

“L-Learn?” (Amelia)

 

(Oh, you have complaints?) (Mike)

 

“N-No, I’ll do it!” (Amelia)

 

 

Hey! This has nothing to do with spirit!

Note for the Day

Let’s do what we can do!

 

A/N: That’s it for this time.

Next time, I would like to make an escape, and if possible, I would like to make it a powerful development like a certain third-generation phantom thief.

Please continue supporting this work.
