Ch.123 "Fountain" 2

Ruru-san stretches and moves her body, then says "yoshi!'' and spins around again, then stretches again with a "Hmm!''

This kid makes big movements in every way.

"So...where is this..."

"That lower level...or is this a place where No Name-san transported us? I don't know the surrounding terrain of this space because it's 'undetectable' though."

No matter how hard I try, I can't see anything outside this cavernous space where the fountain is located.

Is it simply because my magic has been depleted again, or have I fallen or been transported to a great depth?

--Or we were blown away by that frightening amount of magical power.

Maybe it's all of them.

"...Hmm, it's no good. My smartphone doesn't have a signal."

"Mine too."

It tells us the time, but it's just a smartphone with no other functions.

It's worrying that there's no signal.

[Eh?]

[No signal?]

[Well, that's to be expected after all that happened]

[So why are we still able to watch Ruruharu?]

[That's all thanks to No Name-chan]

[Ah yeah, I guess it's all thanks to No Name-chan...]

We have no way to contact the outside world, but for now we're fine...and I think Emi-san and Lili-san are safe too.

That's the only thing I can think right now.

"So it's just the two of us then."

"That's true."

[What are you expecting, No Name-chan?]

[2 girls in an isolated space, it's inevitable that something will happen...]

[It's a girl and a boy!]

[It's femboy!]

[It's shota!]

[Uwaa, they appeared!]

[Sprinkle the salt!]

[Shoo, shoo!]

[Go away!]

[What kind of treatment is that!?]

[lol]

Since I feel like I've had a good sleep, I can stand up and walk without feeling particularly dizzy... but I still don't have any MP.

"Ruru-san, just in case, please keep one hand on the wristband's button."

"Yeah... if another monster appears here... ah, I don't have my sword..."

"I have a slingshot, but there aren't many stones that are effective against the monsters on this floor, so if you feel like you're in danger, please push it immediately."

"Yeah, Haru-chan too!"

After first ensuring Ruru-san's safety, I observed my surroundings again.

--A floor or room with water, common in dungeons.

The cavern walls and ceiling resemble those of a limestone cave, and although there are no lights, typical of dungeons, it is still bright enough to read a book.

And—in the center of the room, a fountain.

Wishing Fountain.

"...Haru-chan"

"Yes. The Wishing Fountain... We've finally arrived."

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[EVERYONE, DON'T LISTEN!]

[The Origins are too loud, I'll mute you]

[Don't blatantly manipulate using the accounts of several Origins]

[lol]

[Raging Origi s]

[But what is the Wishing Fountain?]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[Origins, so noisy]

[Then don't look or listen]

[Eh, I don't wanna tho]

[Why would you say that?!]

[What's wrong, Origins? You guys don't seem like yourselves]

Tap tap.

The two of us approach the fountain.

[Ahh……]

[It's all over...]

[Ugh...]

[Haru-chan...]

[The Origins are in Despair]

[It's rare to see so many Origins active at the same time]

[It's true... there are about 5 deformed Haru-chans in the comments section]

[They're crowding around lol]

[...Now that I think about it, Origins knows a lot about Haru-chan.]

[Then what about that one?]

[Wishing Fountain... No, that can't be...]

[I somehow understand what it is]

[The name is too simple]

"Haru-chan can turn back... at last."

"That's true."

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[AAAAA... sigh, I'm done...]

[What's wrong, Origins? Are you giving up now!?]

[That's enough]

[It's already been revealed]

[It's no longer just our secret...]

[The veteran's last hope...]

[lol]

[The origin has turned into a little girls...]

[But Haru-chan turning back...?]

[Turning back to what?]

[To an angel?]

[That's it]

[As expected... Eh? Seriously, Haru-chan is a non-human?!]

[Not only can't say it's a lie, I can actually believe it]

[I see, so this is what the Origins wanted to hide]

Our faces are clearly reflected in the water.

Colorful lights.

Sparkling light.

Underwater topography.

--It was a scene I'd seen once before.

"Um, is this the one Haru-chan saw last year?"

"Yes, it's the same. It was the same when I first got this body. Of course, it was before I became small, so I was looking at it from a higher position."

It's probably not exactly the same, but dungeons are still a mystery, so I guess it's probably safe to say they're the same.

After all, spaces like this don't usually exist.

"Oh, I see. Haru-chan is, compared to me-"

"I was quite tall."

[Huh?]

[Haru-chan...?]

[She was tall...]

[Don't tell me : Haru-chan was truly a legal loli?]

[What does it really mean?]

[Analysis team! Are you here?]

[What's up?]

[Ah, there he is]

[Wow...]

[There it is...]

[Why's that the responds I get when I came out after being called?!]

[lol]

[I'm sorry... but honestly...?]

[Yeah……]

[On second thoughts……]

[I don't want to meet you in real life...]

[I'm gonna cry!!]

[So, how was it?]

[Don't suddenly become so calm!?]

[Hurry up]

[You guys... never mind. So, it's true. Haru-chan has definitely gotten shorter since "some time a year ago." I've always thought "that can't be possible," and concluded that she must have changed the streaming equipment above her head.]

[But back then, the camera she had on her head was higher... but it's not like it's floating.]

[Since then, her stride has changed, and most importantly, her weapons have all been renewed. And when she first changed them, Haru-chan kept missing her attacks.]

[Huh?]

[Seriously?]

[Seriously. Remember that time when the Origins said that Haru-chan had seemed unwell for a while?]

[Is that true?]

[That may be true...]

[Oh, it was written on Haru-chan's wiki]

[Amazing]

[But that was a year ago.]

[Even if I say this, it was a secret among the analysis team... but it's already been revealed. Judging by Origins's reaction, it seems like it's all true.]

[... So what Ruru-chan and the others were just saying...]

[Eh? then maybe]

[Haru-chan...]

[...Until a year ago, she was taller than Ruru-chan!?]

[So she's an adult woman?!]

[Onee-sama?!]

[What is that? I'm really interested.]

[Absentminded Onee-san... nice]
