Farah''s POV

    With the sudden statement of the bat girl, we have no choice but to become more cautious of the dungeon.

    -This is not something simple... (Aya)

    Aya frowned as she turned away from me.

    -Wait for me a little, Farah. I will report this to my sister. (Aya)

    I can''t help but nod and let Aya go out to report the news.

    -So...can you give me your drops of blood now, master? (Bat girl)

    -Uhm... (Farah)

    I look around and notice there are many people around us. I become a little shy and tell the bat girl.

    -Let''s do it later... (Farah)

    -Why, master? (Bat girl)

    I can''t tell her that I was shy to do it here. So, I decide to change the topic.

    -Well, let''s have a look at that dungeon first! (Farah)

    I turn my attention to the giant gate and stare at it.

    I pull the bat girl and make her follow me.

    -Let''s go! (Farah)

    The bat girl shows an annoyed face, but she still decides to follow me in the end.

    -Nu... (Bat girl)

    We eventually arrive at the gigantic gate. The soldiers who guarded the gate let us pass through since they knew my face.

    -Miss Farah, you can only see the gate from afar. Please don''t go inside the dungeon without informing us.

    I raise both of my hands and try to rebuke them.

    -I know! I am not a kid anymore. (Farah)

    For some reason, the nearby soldier laughs at my reply. What? Was my statement that funny? I pout and head toward the gate to inspect the rune on the door.

    -Urgh...Let''s see. Huh? (Farah)

    -What''s wrong, my master? (Bat girl)

    -I... (Farah)

    The runes that reflect on my eyes start to reassemble themselves into something I can read.

    "Unravel The Truth

    Bypass The Impossible

    Open The Key In Your Heart

    Give Out The Correct Judgment

    Find Out My Truth Name

    Trial Of Humility"

    The moment I usefully said the poem was written on the gate, the entire surrounding started shaking.

    -Huh? (Farah)

    -Master! (Bat girl)

    The bat girl looks at me with a worried face. She tried to pull me away as she witnessed this weird phenomenon.

    -Let''s... (Bat girl)

    Before she can finish her sentence, a light comes down and wraps nearby surroundings.

    -Ahh! (Farah)

    The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself in a room.

    -Huh? (Farah)

    When I looked at my surrounding, I found a girl with brown hair fainted nearby.

    -She wore Ecrax''s military uniform. She seems to be catching up with the incident. (Farah)

    I feel guilty since this happened because I recited the poem on the gate. I go near the girl and shake her body.

    -Hey...Are you alright? (Farah)

    After shaking her body for a while, the girl eventually shows some reaction.

    -Urgh... (???)

    She tiredly opens her eyes and stares at me.

    -W-who? (???)

    The girl looks around and says in a shaking voice.

    -I remembered the light and... (???)

    I try to reassure her and pat her body gently.

    -Calm down! We are safe here. (Farah)

    -Hah... (???)

    The girl takes a deep breath and looks at me.

    -I''m sorry. (???)

    I shake my head and deny it.

    -It''s normal for people to be scared about a sudden situation like this. (Farah)

    -But you looked quite composed on the other hand. (???)

    I scratch my head as I reply to her.

    -Well, I''m pretty familiar with this. (Farah)

    -Is that so? And who are you? (???)

    -Ah, I''m sorry for the late introduction. My name is Farah! (Farah)

    -I''m...You can call me Nise. (Nise)

    -Nice to meet you, sister Nise. (Farah)

    Sister Nise nods and stands up from her place.

    -Where are we now? (Nise)

    -We are inside the dungeon, sister. (Farah)

    -Hmmm? Is that so? (Nise)

    Sister Nise looks at the gate in front of us and says.

    -Then, we have no choice but to go through the gate, right? (Nise)

    -Yes? (Farah)

    I look at the gate in front of me and then turn my attention to the surrounding.

    -Right, I have no other choice aside from entering that gate. (Farah)

    Well, from what Aya said to me. We would eventually be expelled out of the dungeon in a while.

    -Let''s go then, sister Nise. (Farah)

    For some reason, sister Nise doesn''t pay attention to me and stares at the ground. I have no choice but to follow her sight and look at the surrounding place under me. But I found nothing at all.

    -Sister Nise? (Farah)

    Sister Nise shakes her head and replies to me.

    -Don''t worry about me. I was just lost in my thought. (Nise)

    -O...kay? (Farah)

    I turned my back to sister Nise and walked into the gate.

    -... (Nise)
