When he is finished preparing, he attaches the apparatus offered by Meira to a rope tied to the tree and descends into the hole.

Al, I'm going first.

"Hey, Meira. Get off too fast."

Suzuki kicked the wall, and Meira was down there.

Having specialised in site surveys, she seemed to be good at these techniques of getting into holes, and I was finally able to follow them without delay.

"Ahead!

Meira, who kicked the wall big, disappeared softly into the back of the hole.

Looking up, he had already dived to considerable depth, and the sky visible from inside the hole had begun to thin out.

"Hey!? Meira."

I kicked myself in the wall and went down into the hole, too, as I chased Mayla, who had gone down first.

Going further down, the light of day was whispering and the surroundings were dimming.

Meira, who had been down earlier, could see that she had already begun to examine in detail the location of the hidden doors she had found.

"I finally caught up. Is this where Mayla found the door?

Of all the cliff-like holes cut out, only a few are out now.

But even when I said I was out, it was only such a narrow scaffold that if the two adults stood up, they would be buried.

When I untied the rope next to the meira I was working on, I decided to watch the work.

You've found this place so well...

No one would notice if they hadn't told me there was a door in a place like this.

When I arrived, I was blind, and Meira drained water from the water bottle to the wall, which she brought to what she thought was just a wall without jointing.

"The water is disappearing on the wall on the way!?

"That sort of thing. The fact that the water disappears on the way means this is the hidden door. I mean, there's got to be an opening and closing device planted somewhere on this wall..."

Mayla, with a smaller wooden hammer out of her porch, began to cone the wall.

Seeing Meira hearing the sound of the wall with a serious expression like never before, she was recognising herself as an adventurer specializing in site surveys.

"Right here. Probably like this. Look, there it is."

When the tip rubbed with a flat, pointed iron bar where the sound was strange, part of the wall opened and something appeared to be the opening or closing device of interest.

"Turn this around and it should open. Al, are you ready?

"Wait, I can light a lantern"

Meira, willing to open the door, prompted me to prepare, and when I hurried out two lanterns from my luggage, I lit the fire to secure the light.

"Fine."

"Well, let's start exploring!

That's what I said. When Mayla started spinning the handle of the device, the door was making noises and starting to move straight to the side.

Meanwhile, I pull out my little sword and light up the door with a lantern for when something pops up the other day.

Then...

I saw something moving in the dark, and I saw it pop out towards me.

And, enemies!?

He tries to poke the little sword in his hand, but it was the young boy of the beast man that the lantern's light illuminated.

Ko, kid!?

I couldn't tell if it was an enemy, and I was hesitant to attack.

No weapons.

They're children, and let's just hold them off for now.

In an instant, he decided that his opponent was a round hip and caught the popping beast man's child not to be injured.

"Who? Why is there a beast man child here?

"Mi, Mizu... I need some water"

The catching beast man's son had crusty lips and appeared to have mild dehydration.

Water? You can drink this.

When I gave him the water bottle in front of me, the beast man's son took it to snap, and he was starting to drink the contents with the gubbies.

In the meantime, there doesn't seem to be any hostility to this one.

I wonder why there was a beast man child in a hole in such a secluded place and no one was supposed to come.

Seeing the son of a water-drinking beast, he was increasingly not sure what the place in front of him meant.

"Phew... I thought I was going to die of drought... have your sisters been told by their fathers? Dad said to hide, but don't you have to hide anymore?

The son of the beast, calmed by drinking the water, looked at us and asked if his father had sent us.

"No, that's not it... In the meantime, shall we start by telling each other by name? I'm Al. So, you're..."

"It's Meira. What's your daughter's name?

"Maribel... suppose your fathers didn't tell you to come, your sisters are thieves? My fathers told me this was an important place, so I couldn't do it if I found out."

Maribel's gaze as she sat on the ground was increasing the danger.

I'd say it's not the same when they say thief......

In this case, would it be trespassing?

Having trouble responding, I sent my gaze to Chillari and neighboring Meira.

"Hehe, Maribel. We're a search party. I've been cleared by the Adventurer Alliance to check this place out. So we're not thieves. Can you understand that?

Meira was good at showing Maribel a map containing the designs of the Yughannotes Adventurer Guild.

I do agree with some of what Meira is saying...

The search is only in the upper perimeter, and I don't have permission to search through the hole.

With that in mind, watching how Maribel was doing, she watched as she devoured the map Meira showed her.

"Ahhh! I was with my fathers on this!!

"Huh? What was with you?

"This! This is it! Disgusting people!

Maribel pointed to Abyss Walker, a search object that was written with the map.
