Dooms At The Corner

THE SECRET

With the hope and strong will to discover new and ancient things they foot out and started their walk towards the secret room to give their future a new look.

“Thuk,thuk, thuk…” the echo sounds of their foot stepping can clearly be audible in that vacuum silence. They did exactly as they planned. They sent the drone first and then formatted the group. With the stealthy mode, they solved the problem of the sounds. There was nothing but complete darkness and the fear barged from it, through the vision of the drone they found their way. Without any sound, one can hear the dropping of water clearly “thup,thup,thup…”

As the reared guard Tristan was ready with his spell whenever Sunao alerted and Kagen order to use it. Soon they reached the point where they came before when they came for the first time and now the light was visible from the distance but shockingly Sunao couldn’t see it through the drone.

‘Stop, Sunao ‘suddenly a familiar voice stimulated Sunao and Tristan's minds, without having any clue they started to freak out and Tristan was about to cast his spell the familiar voice once more stimulated their mind waiting, ‘relax you guys. It’s me, Kagen, I am using telepathy. We can talk in our minds '

As soon as Tristan heard his voice he came to his senses and become calm. Soon after he wiped his head’s sweat with his hand.  Sunao continued with ‘what is that? is it some kind of tool? you didn’t explain it though’ and Tristan also exclaimed ‘what is this? Your voice is ringing in my head.’

‘I said calm down. We don’t know if there is any monster that has high listening magic, and one more thing Sunao you don’t have to concentrate on this you just focus on the drone, we are here for your safekeeping’

Sunao replied ‘yes’.

As soon as they cleared the misunderstandings they started once more on their feet. Soon after they were able to see the light very close Sunao said ’we are very close to the room. It’s the end of this path yourselves for the fight’

‘Ok, you guys slow down. Sunao!’ Kagen called.

‘Yes,’ Sunao answered.

‘Send the drone to that room. Observe and tell if there is any monster, we will get ready for that’

‘Yes, roger’ Sunao responded.

They stood at a little distance from the room while Kagen was standing closing his eyes and concentrating on sounds.

The drone went in and after some observation, Sunao said ‘what!? I can only see masses of papers, there is no monster’

‘Are you sure?’ Kagen asked.

While looking at Kagen Sunao said with confidence’ as sure as I can go there without any support.’

‘Hmmm…’ Kagen thought it wasn’t making any sense what she said.

Kagen canceled the stealth magic and telepathy.

“Well good job, let’s go then,” Kagen said and they entered the room.

When they entered the room they saw piles of papers everywhere in the room. just papers and papers.

They slowly started to go through the papers and there was one board pasted on the wall. When Tristan saw that he became surprised and with a worried voice he replied “guys look at this”

As the three of them looked at the board it had “project: THE ONE” written on it.

“What is it? Is it some kind of observation or experiment? What the hell is this project the one?” Tristan said.

“If we knew the answer then I think we couldn’t come in here in the first place,” Suano replied.

At that time Kagen thought if it was an experiment lab then where was its experiment, he couldn’t see any of the experiments' things also there. No tubes and no mutation.

Sawing Kagen lost in his thought Sunao asked “what do you think about this Kagen?”

“No need to think, if it was an experiment then it makes sense that its base was here, but-“Kagen replied and got stopped for a bit and started to think once more.

“But? What?” Sunao replied and continued “say, what you about to say?”

Not resisting Sunao’s question Kagen replied “if it was the experiment lab then where are the experiments? Where are the tools that use for experiments? There are no tubes in here; no recourses of foods and water are available here.”

“No smell of any chemicals no magic circles and even all papers are blank and written on it project the one.”

“Now you said that I also didn’t think about that” Sunao replied.

“Aren’t we trapped in a loop of rooms?”Tristan replied while laughing.

 “Why are you laughing, did you break down from this fear of experiment?” Sunao replied.

“That’s not the case”

“Wait a minute I am the president, right? Then why Kagen is making plans?” Sunao asked.

“Ok president you know the way right? And know what to do right now?” Kagen replied.

“Yes of course it’s a child's play” Sunao answered hesitantly.

Kagen bent down and said, “ok then president show us the next way” while placing his hand on the right.

“Yes but just don’t forget to walk behind me ok?” Sunao replied hesitantly and started to walk.

“Yes, the roger president” Tristan replied.

But the two didn’t follow Sunao. As Sunao walked into a certain place she suddenly got vanished.

“Whoshhhh….”

Surprised, Kagen asked, “What just happened?”

He couldn’t accept the fact that she suddenly vanished from there. Even though there was no teleportation magic circle and he didn’t detect any magic circle there.

Tristan replied “whatttt..? She got eaten by a monster. We are done, help us” Tristan started to shout.

“Oi, stop you moron, if she got eaten by any monster then now we also ended up with her there, calm down and stop crying like a baby”

Without listening to Kagen's words Tristan started to chant “god help us, god help us….” while rolling on the ground.

Kagen thought ’you did a great job Tristan's father by making him your future generation. Without any doubt, I can see this country’s fate. A great son of the country’s president and his lackey Tristan who will become the dementia minister, the god may save this country '

When he was thinking about this suddenly another smoke started to appear.

“Hyaaaaaa……another attack, please helllllllpppppp meeee” Tristan started to shout even more.

A figure came out of the smoke, and Kagen became shocked” what is happening?”

By the way, Tristan still was blabbering his nonsense, he wasn’t even looking at the smoke, he closed his eyes and shouted at his peak ”I ammm nooot sooo tastyyyyy, don’t eat me  ”

Even though he was so much scared but he still tried to slide to Kagen's side while closing his eyes to help Kagen “ do-do-don’t worry Kagen i-i- wi-l-will save you”

By collecting his all might Tristan opened his eyes and the first sentence that came out of his mouth was “G-G-G-Ghooooooost”

“Wait, where did you vanish Sunao?” Kagen asked surprisedly.

“I don’t know. I saw nothing there. as soon as  I teleported there I stand there for a while and got transferred back here.” Sunao said while huffing in fear.

She was shivering when she came from that place where she got teleported and she couldn’t accept the sudden trigger that happened.

“S-s-sunao’s ghooooost, Kagen don’t go there, she will capture you, and I heard about it in a certain story that demon succubus seduces men by taking beautiful face and unresistable body,” Tristan shouted.

After hearing this Kagen thought ‘oi, in what way do you see president, are you a moron? And apart from this did you just say that succubus are real creatures not imaginary creatures in the manga, I think I solved a mystery, after returning I will write down it’

Kagen replied “moron she is the real one, can’t you see her shadow there? Idiot. My mother taught me ghosts don’t have shadows.”

By the way, he was still fifteen at that moment and he still believed his mother’s superstitious.

“That’s right” Tristan replied.

While their conversation was still progressing Sunao was watching while her mouth was open in surprise.

[Sunao POV]

While I was shivering from the shock they were making fun of me or one can say they were kind of dumb I guess. I mean how are they looking at me, I am a succubus! Just wait for our return I will show you what the power of the president is, you two are better to be ready for that.

But I think Kagen didn’t do anything, I will not punish him. But this succubus boy will definitely be going to hell.

[POV END]

Sunao was watching Tristan in fireball eyes. She was so angry that after not asking about her health issues he exclaimed that she was a demon and ghost.

But due to the shock, she was unable to tell anything. She was just waiting for their return.

After Sunao sit down on the floor and calm down herself Kagen left the conversation with the ghost and asked: “do you think where you teleported a while ago safe place, Sunao?”

“Sorry, but I can’t tell, I only saw darkness there. Nothing less or more” Sunao replied.
