When us players first met with [the Karakuri Castle] of Magiex, what immediately came to our mind was a secret passage. Among all the dungeons, it has the most hidden passages and inside each passage, there are various items, skills, and bosses hidden in it.

However, despite having the most hidden passages, it is also a dungeon that can be captured without going through any of them.

On the contrary, because there are so many passages that can be discovered, even a player who plays through the game for the first time would at least found one of them.

It is quite a rare setting for a dungeon so it was one of my favorites but I do have one complaint. That is the fact that there’s no hint provided to find these hidden passages. Moreover, there are goddess statues that provide you with valuable items and skills that you can only find in those hidden passages as well.

Do you know how hard it is to find these hidden passages?”

However, it is exactly because of that hardship that I can be so carefree right now. The reason is that I already remembered all the locations of those hidden passages.

Then, what should I do next after I conquered all those passages? For the time being, I would certainly go back to the entrance and challenge the dungeon again. The second long-range skill I want is hidden relatively close to the entrance after all.

As I am planning things, Nanami calls out to me.

“You look free, Goshujin-sama.”

“Well, I’m not in a hurry…..”

I have time to slowly think like this after all.

In the first place, we are inside a safety zone, monsters do not spawn here so that should go for everyone right?

“Then how about we play some pretend newlywed?”

“….what’s this so suddenly?”

We are certainly free but I don’t understand why a newlywed play suddenly came out.

“Welcome back Goshujin-sama. What would you like? An Angel? A Maid? Or do you want…Na・Na・Mi?”

Why are you changing poses on after another and lifting your maid outfit eh? Well, ultimately she is still cute though.

“You will do it even if I don’t answer right…..rather, aren’t those choices practically the same? Well, let’s go with a meal then.”

“Kyaa♪ Goshujin-sama is going to eat Nanami! ?”

“…..a bath?”

“Kyaa♪ You will take a bath with me right!? please leave backwashing to me!”

“Both choices ended up with you isn’t it! ?”

As I retorted, Nanami impishly smiles. Unn, if I have to choose then I would go with a bath huh.

“Umm, do you always do something like this…….?”

Yuika is confused because we are messing around huh.

“Sometimes it is even worse than this you know?”

Said Ludi. I want to deny that but it is exactly like she said.

“…..Hanamura house really is amazing isn’t it.”

“Hanamura house as a whole is………well, I can’t deny that there are a lot of weird people there.”

“They are certainly unique but they are all good people you know.”

Sempai said with a bitter smile. Her follow up doesn’t really help though.

“Here, Goshujin-sama. It’s a sandwich. For you to eternally dedicate your love toward Nanami, I added THAT in the ingredient for you.”

“We are continuing this? You didn’t put in any poison right?”

What eternally? She sure added a worrisome word in her sentence, I won’t die from this right?”

I look at the sandwich she gave me. It seems the way she placed the vegetables is different from the one I ate earlier. Well, I ate one before so let’s try this one out.

As I decided to take a bite, Nanami opens her mouth.

“Ah, speaking of which, that one was made by Ludi-sama.”

Hearing her, I finally understood.

So that’s why she handed that sandwich to me. She is implying Since Ludi-sama made it make sure you gratefully eat it okay?, I think.

But I think it would be better if you don’t make put it weirdly like that though.

“Ah, Um. its shape is strange compared to Nanami’s right? You see, I don’t have much time, so I just tried making one.”

“No, it’s really delicious. Thanks.”

It looks normal and tastes very good so I think she should be more confident about it.

“Is, Is that so.”

She turned away but she looked very happy.

Come to think of it, I feel like I received a lot of things from Ludi, no, everyone recently. I want to give something in return after this.

Even so, this sandwich is real delicious huh. Delicious? Sandwich? I feel like I ate something like that recently…….when was it? Hmm, the one that smells like energy drink? Eh, Nee-san? Aw–my head……..

“Takioto-san, what’s wrong?”

“N, No. it’s nothing. Let’s rest a little more and get the skill ahead of here.”

Hearing that, Yuika stares at me.

“Hee, you can get a skill huh…..”

While smiling bitterly I think. Since it’s Yuika I might be able to clearly tell her about it, Ludi and Sempai might already guess it but I still don’t dare to tell them.

Not just Nanami, it is something that someday I have to let Ludi and the others know as well.


After the break, we immediately continue advancing.

“So, what kind of skills can you get here?”

Should I tell her everything about the skill? Well, let’s.

“It is an escape skill.”

“What?”

Since the Ninja skills were set as a hidden skill tree, it’s normal for Ludi to not know about it huh. In the game, if you don’t get to know those two characters, you wouldn’t be able to learn the skills after all.

Well, if you recruit them, they will never stop talking about it though. Are the ninjas okay with that………

“Simply put, it is a skill that lets you flee from enemies, I guess.”

It is a super useful skill if you are going to do an RTA. Escaping is an essential part of RTA after all.

One of the most common things to do in an RTA for RPG games is to go to the town that you can barely make it despite your low level. In short, you advance to the second half of the story by running away from enemies with your low level.

Why would you do something like that? There are a lot of reasons. Getting your hand on strong weapons from the early phase of the game, recruit party members from those towns, obtain useful items and skills that you normally wouldn’t be able to get so early or getting strengthening items from the NPC houses.

That’s right, it is to strengthen the protagonist and their companions while their level is still low.

Buying items that are not appropriate to your level, enhance your fighting power and raise your level by defeating the enemies with a single blow. That’s the best course of action considering the efficiency.

Of course, you can also do that in Magical★Explorer. Avoiding all the enemies inside the beginner dungeon, you can defeat the boss with fire magic stone and return with a magic circle. Then after you assembled your weapons and armor, you go to a different dungeon to earn experience points with more efficiency.

Actually, I planned to do that at first, and I already carried some of those steps out.

However, this world is not a game.

That’s why annihilating enemies with a strong weapon is not a waste.

It is best to raise your level efficiently and improve your ability at the same time with other party members.

Then let’s think of a way to raise more efficiency. The basic way to collect the magic elements is to go to a dungeon. It is necessary to avoid fighting the trash mobs to save time.

That’s the most crucial part of an RTA but there is another way to increase efficiency. It is to increase your speed.

Increasing your speed leads to faster action order in the game.

But what about this reality?

If each of my action gets faster and faster, I think it’s a great way to strengthen myself.

Considering that, then there is no doubt that it is a super useful skill to have.

We continue to defeat the monsters that appear and advance further. Then we found a place that looked like a reception hall. There were some wooden tables and scrolls there but honestly, I don’t have to read them.

There are two things you need to do to get the escape skill. First is to find the hidden door that leads to this place without any hints provided. The second is to solve the puzzle.

There is a scroll with a hint to solve this puzzle on the last floor but…..with the game knowledge, I already have the answer in my head.


After we got the skill, we left the dungeon. I thought about taking a shower for a mood change but as if someone was waiting for this timing, I got a message. I thought that I was being monitored for a moment but I immediately denied that idea.

Maybe the message did not arrive because I was in a dungeon after all. The sender was Lord Benito.

“Yuika, she might really come.”

“Eh, what are you talking about?”

I immediately open the message and check the contents. Yup, it’s about that. And sure enough, it is that, am I cursed or something? I want to avoid this as much as I possible but it ended up happening all the same.

Maybe they saw my sour face, Ludi and Yuika peek at my Tsukuyomi Traveller from the side.

“Hee, competition instead of a duel huh? Moreover, the location is the dungeon too.”

Maybe they avoided the duel because Yuika might be too eye-catching. But because of that, they have to choose that place……This is seriously troubling.

What to do? But I can’t explain that it is a place to collect ero CGs to them either.

No, it shouldn’t be completely decided yet.

And that dungeon’s ero CGs can’t be collected unless Gabby does the event herself either, I can just watch out for that.

At this stage, I might be able to change the location too. It is something like a mock battle so they might allow it. For the time being let’s start the negotiation.
