“I see it! That’s Douglade Ruins!” (Sailor)

“I see it too!” (Litty)
One of the sailors shouted to X-Piece. It was almost the same time Litty shouted, who had been waiting for the Ruins to be within view as she stood at the tip of the sand ship.
In the flickering shimmer of the shimmering sun, several buildings could be seen hidden in the desert. As we got closer, the whole picture became clear.
“…a city of sand.” (Roma)
Roma muttered sadly, and although most of the ruins were buried in the sand, the structures that appeared in places told of the scale of the ruins.
Once built by human hands, that city was now buried under the sand for some reason or another. Was it a wonder of nature or something else?
Either way, nature swallowed up easily what man could do. Facing the ruins, Roma realized once again that they were just a small group among a big group of adventurers.
“We’ve arrived. I’ve already told you that the main part of Douglade Ruins is underground.” (Buard)
“And there’s more than one entrance, isn’t there?” (Litty)
“There are quite a few entrances, but most of them have been explored.” (Buard)
Yggdrasia explored basically whole ruins except hidden areas like one found recently.
“Be wary of the Named Monster, the Cursed Diva, it roams around the whole ruin along a certain path. Its path is known to some extent, but it’s not 100% accurate. Many adventurers have been killed by that monster. If you hear it singing, leave immediately.” (Buard)
After hearing all the warnings, X-Piece entered the Douglade Ruins. Although the sandstorm had subsided, the isolated silence reminded them of the ghost ship.
Checking the rotting buildings one by one, they first explored the ground. Moving down a steep slope, they advanced with caution.
Eventually, the group spotted a staircase in the sand.
“According to the information, this is where that monster starts to appear. There is no singing.” (Ennely)
“Let’s go down then.” (Litty)
Litty looked around the staircase. High walls, the remnants of what appeared to be a conical roof. She figured it was some kind of large building, similar in scale to a castle in the royal capital that Litty knew.

The underground passageway was a complete change from the one above ground. There were few signs of decay.
Mirai was responsible for light magic, which was difficult to sustain with Litty’s and Roma’s limited magic power, and Kuufa’s magic was saved for emergencies.
The torches Ennely had prepared were also limited, so X-Piece could not afford to waste them.
Ennely suddenly said, “Alright, stop.”
“Is it a trap?” (Litty)
“If you step on the floor there, you’ll be in trouble.” (Ennely)
At first glance, the floor looked ordinary. However, compared to the floor in front of it, there was slightly less sand on it.
“I don’t know whether this is a pit or anything, but this is definitely the trigger. Whenever someone gets caught in a trap, for some reason, a new trap is generated.” (Ennely)
“New traps? How is that possible?” (Litty)
“I don’t know. It’s all a mystery. The Diva is not the only reason why the search is not going well.” (Ennely)
The group jumped over to avoid touching the floor and avoided the danger.
As a Thief, Ennely had far more knowledge about the traps than others in the group. Moreover, her instincts were also at peak from her heightened crisis awareness.
“The fact that there’s not a lot of sand means it’s a new trap. Most of the traps like this leave a sense of discomfort.” (Ennely)
“Ummm! Ennely-san! I’m going to be a Thief!” (Litty)
“Litty-chan, you are already good enough. For now, just observe everything more carefully…” (Ennely)
Litty, taking Ennely’s words to heart, observed her surroundings more closely. As she looked, she noticed something, “Is this basement a castle?”
“Really? You think so?” (Ennely)
“Look at the pattern on the wall near the ceiling. It’s blurry, but it’s the same as the one on Taharajal’s castle.” (Litty)
“Hmm…?” (Ennely)
