Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai Chapter 64

Chapter 64 (A grand clock tower, and underground altar)

When Claris-san and I waiting in front of the main gate, one carriage comes toward us. 

The door of the carriage then opened. 

"Sorry to keep you waiting." 

Makina-san comes out from the carriage while holding her hair which swayed by the winds. 

"Now then, get in." 

I boarded the carriage and sat beside Claris-san. 

While saying "It really is fun," I greet Makina-san who is having a wry smile. 

"Emm, Makina-san." 

"About Kyurie-san matters, Thank you very much." 

"But, because of that, I thought that your work would increase, and your mind and body fatigue will also increase..." 

She opened her eyes wide. 

"Mia is it?" 

"You don't have to cover it. after all, that girl is quite sensitive in that regard." 

Makina-san breath out a sigh. 

"It might be a bothersome thing, but I must do what I should do. if it's something troublesome then just about everything in society is troublesome, though surprisingly it also comfortable." 

*Fuun*, Makina-san breath out while speaking out the irony. 

"If there's anything that I can help, please do tell me alright?" 

Is it a ma.s.sage? 

"S-Sure... I don't know if I can do it properly, though." 

Are her shoulders stiff I wonder? 

"And also..." 

She looks troubled as to how to say it; Makina-san looked at me with upturned eyes timidly. 

"About the previous morning..." 

By any chance... it's the day when I saw the dream about the forbidden spell king? 

"For me to say those words and then immediately entered my house... how should I say it, emm, please forgive me." 

Somehow I feel something bad. 

"Ah no, forget it... let's talk about this later." 

Like that, Makina-san broke off the talk. 

Because there was no help for it, I also no longer mention the topic. 

After a short time, the conversation has come to an end. 

It feels like having a rest. 

And then she began to look outside the window absentmindedly while she leans her head against the window. 

I put my finger on my lips and whispered to Claris-san. 

"I feel sorry to wake her up. let's be quiet until we arrived." 

Currently, we're inside of it. 

Makina-san woke up at the time we've arrived here, she descended first from the carriage and led us. 

The clock tower was made of stone; a unique old-fas.h.i.+oned fragrance entered my nose. 

Suddenly his gaze stopped at Claris-san. 

"Aah, I see... the usual person who likes investigate things..." 

Makina-san nodded while folded her arms. 

"Indeed..." 

The man seems to know Claris-san. 

Since he seems to be able to guess what matter we've come here for just from looking at her. 

"You need to the permission from the sacred royal family, you see." 

"Well... if it's you then it should be all right I guess. however, let's write the official doc.u.ment first?" 

Makina-san went inside the office with the man. 

The stairs went spiral toward upward. 

The people who do maintenance for the clock have it rough huh. 

I looked up. 

It sounds unusual yet powerful. 

"Do you find something interesting?" 

Looking at me, Claris-san has a smile on her face. 

d.a.m.n it... 

"Fufufu, this grand clock tower has a long architecture history, you know~?" 

"The headmistress seems to have a chat inside the office though?" 

Somehow they offered some sweets and drinks one after another. 

The altar appeared after we opened the stone door from the pa.s.sage earlier. 

Currently, we're inside the altar room. 

The atmosphere is quite similar to that of sacred ruin. 

"Yes..." 

Makina-san pointed toward the direction and Claris-san affirmed. 

Just like what Claris-san had said, there's a s.h.i.+eld-like crest engraved on the old door. 

To begin with, this altar, there's no clear answer as to why this altar have been built. 

While Claris-san with high spirit followed from behind. 

"Yes." 

Though the situation is slightly unusual. 

Makina-san seems to have poured magic power into it. 

I shade my eyes due to the intense light. 

"Ah, the door is..." 

The door opened slowly. 

The sacred cursed sword has changed to gray color in her hand. 

The sacred cursed sword which becomes something like a lump of clay, collapsed. 

Makina-san looked down to her feet where the sacred cursed sword has crumbled down. 

"I guess, it's only one time use huh..." 

In there, there's another altar. 

I see. 

I also stepped my foot inside the room while prepared to use the forbidden spell immediately when needed. 

The room area itself is small. 

The ceiling is also not that high. 

Claris-san who stand in the center began examining the altar at once. 

"Hohou, this really gives a good feeling isn't it." 

On the altar, there's a carvings reminiscent of a demon. 

I also began to observe the oblong box. 

I didn't see any keyhole. 

Her face as if saying 『please leave the opening to me』. 

"There might be some trap laying around. temporarily weー." 

On the other hand, Claris-san line of sight directed inside the box. 

"W-What is it? Is there something inside?" 

Makina-san is looking at her with worry, took a step forward and stretch her neck to peer in. 

Though usually, she looks beautiful... this is quite a regrettable scene. 

Under which seems to be a powder, though it looks empty, there is somethingー 

"Wait..." 

Makina-san seems to have noticed it as well. 

Then she picked up something. 

Then Makina-san leaked small "Ah..." voice. 

Eh? I pointed at myself. 

I take it timidly and then checking it. 

Eh? 
This isー.
