5-13. Maze of Trazayuya 4 (1/2)

5-13. Maze of Trazayuya (4)

Satou's here. Whenever I played a game for the first time I never skip any event until the end, maybe because my job was making games.

If the game is not to my liking, I didn't enjoy it until the end and went to dispose it on a second-hand store, Satou.

◇

”Kusukusukusu, it's a failure huh.”

”Yup, a failure.”

Two purple lights emerge from the crumbled remains of Zen.

”Goodbye, hero.”

”This is your victory.”

I reflexively cut those lights with the holy sword since I feel evil intent from them. However, the lights which had been scattered away gather themselves back and rise into the sky.

”Let's meet again.”

”See you.”

The lights penetrate the ceiling and disappear before long.

◇

Were those angels? I felt maliciousness from them though.

But, I don't have the leisure to think about it. Because--

『System Message. This maze will begin to enter into self-destruct sequence. The staff members and trainee are to escape immediately. I repeat』

---I heard that announcement.

I rush to Mia and make her who's still unconscious to drink magic potion with restorative effect. Since the medicine hasn't been tested, I give her one third at a time. She wakes up exactly with one bottle.

”Mia, do you recognize me?”

”...Onii-chan?”

I am not.

Mia's blurred eyes become focused.

”Here is?”

”The master room of Trazayuya Maze.”

Hearing me, Mia hurriedly look for the magician.

”It's alright, he is no more. He won't show up in front of you anymore.”

”Really?”

”Yes really.”

This is not the time to have a carefree talk like this.

『The self-destruct sequence has been executed. The staff members and trainee are to escape immediately.』

I have to stop it quickly.

”Mia, can you stop this maze from self-destructing?”

”I'll try.”

Mia unsteadily walks to the operation board.

She tries to operate something for a while, but then she shakes her head.

”Impossible.”

She gave up fast.

After asking for more detail from Mia, it seems that every functions has been locked somehow. So it's helpless even for the maze's master.

I somehow know that this maze would explode if I destroy the maze core. Let's bet on my physical strength and escape by running then.

I carry Mia who has given up and staring at the floor under my arm.

”This will be dangerous, so hold me tight.”

Without looking at Mia who's nodding, I run.

◇

I'm running through the passage.

Running.

And running.

At first, Mia was screaming loudly but she falls into silent now. It seems that she has fainted.
