Chapter 479: Stink

Since she had basically asked all the questions that needed to be asked, Erina thought it was time to consider how to get into the hole.

After all, it is no longer possible to expect help from others.

Few villagers are willing to communicate with them.

Maybe some people think that even if they just open the door on this day when the Holy Belt of Ashes comes, they will be met with bad luck.

Erina: "Hey, Rom. We are going to the bottom of the cave and we need some ropes, torches and the like. Can you help us prepare them?"

Rom: "Uh, is that so?"

Rom: "But I don't have it either... I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself."

Nao: "What? I have no intention of helping at all!"

Nao: "Mr. Rom, you are a gentleman. How can a gentleman turn a blind eye to the difficulties that a lady encounters?"

Erina: "That's right."

Erina: "Can you at least tell us where to find these things?"

Rom: "Uh... the store? No, no, it shouldn't be open on a day like today. In that case, there should be a lot of rope in Franklin's yard... right in his tool shed."

Rom: "As for the torch, there should be one near the cave entrance, right? You can look for it..."

Erina: "But we don't know where the Franklin family is."

Erina: "Since you know that the Holy Belt is not that scary, you should be able to help guide the way, right?"

Rom: "Huh?! This... I'm not afraid - no, it's not that I'm not afraid. I mean, I won't be as scared as others! But..."

Erina: "You just don't dare to come out anyway, right?"

Rom: "That's right... But it's not that I don't want to help you! I'm just afraid of being viewed with prejudice by others!"

Rom: "You should understand. If I go out with you and are seen, what will others think? I must think that I am cursed outside. Everyone will avoid me from now on! I have to consider the consequences, right?"

Nao: "Hey~ Is it okay to invite us in?"

Rom: "Those are two different things, ladies..."

Rom: "I'll tell you where Franklin's house is. I'm just borrowing the rope, he probably won't mind... After that, I wish you good luck, ladies!"

After Rom said this, he told the two people the location of Franklin's house.

After they left here, they quickly found the house and got the rope from the location Rom said.

But there are no torches next to the big hole.

The two had to walk around for a long time before they found a torch stand, took down the torch, and returned to the Cave of the Abyss.

"Erina-chan~ When do you think the Ashes Sacred Belt will come?" Nao asked with a smile as she looked at Erina who was casting the spell.

On the pile of wooden boards at the entrance of the cave, there is now a purple-lighting magic circle printed on it.

"Hmm... maybe it's at night?" Erina thought for a while and replied: "It's less likely to encounter passers-by when traveling at night. This can minimize the panic of others and avoid all kinds of trouble..."

"It makes sense." Nao nodded: "Just like a perverted killer also likes to commit crimes at night..."

"No, I think it's just concealment." Erina said as she finished casting the spell: "Done!"

The moment she finished saying this, she immediately pressed her hands together, one up and down, with their palms facing each other.

The light ball between the palms quickly dissipated during the squeeze.

The magic circle also erupted with more violent light fluctuations, and exploded.

The wooden planks covering the entrance were shattered into pieces in the explosion, falling deep into the cave with a loud noise.

At the same time, a pungent stench also emerged from the cave of the abyss.

Erina smelled the smell, showed a disgusted expression, and subconsciously took a step back.

Nao, on the other hand, made a sound of "Hey~" and showed an interested expression.

Nao: "Hey~ this smell is really disgusting. Hey, Erina-chan, what do you think this smells like?"

Erina: "The smell of corpses...? I don't understand! Anyway, I'm going to vomit! Hasn't it been a long time since corpses came in here? Why is it so smelly!"

Erina: "I thought I would only feel the coldness of the tomb!"

Nao: "That one is definitely indispensable."

Nao: "If we can also smell this smell down there, then this is the hardest part of exploring the underground cemetery... I'm afraid it will be difficult not to vomit, right?"

Nao: "Maybe it's better to wait until the smell dissipates before going down?"

Erina: "I don't think it will matter how long it takes to dissipate...it will keep smelling bad."

Erina: "This smell is probably caused by some kind of phenomenon. For example, nightmares... To be honest, if nightmares could make the smell of the whole world so smelly, everyone would suffocate to death! Or it would be so smelly that they would just choose to commit suicide. !”

Nao: "Then what should I do~"

Nao: "Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth? It doesn't feel like you can block much of the smell."

Erina: "Hmm."

Erina: "There seems to be no other way. Just bear with it...it smells bad, but fortunately it's not enough to make people faint."

Erina: "It's not as disgusting as the rotting corpse we saw last time... I actually vomited it out as soon as I got close to it!"

Nao: "Isn't it bad that the Underworld Miko is so disgusted by the corpse?"

Nao: "Erina-chan is fine, I still need to experience it more. This way, I won't vomit so much when I'm pregnant."

Erina: "So why does it involve pregnancy?"

Erina: "Ah, that's enough! Just wait a little - twenty minutes! After twenty minutes, there's nothing we can do if the smell doesn't dissipate, so we'll go straight down!"

Nao: "But how to time it?"

Nao: "We don't have watches."

Erina: "...Hmm. I forgot."

Erina: "I have to remember to buy one next time... pocket watches are cheaper, just buy that one."

Nao: "Yeah. Well, when you wear a top with pockets on the chest, it feels wonderful to wear it inside."

Nao: "It's like there's a bulletproof plate or a time bomb on your chest~click click~"

Erina: "I don't wear that kind of clothes, okay... That pocket is useless at all! It's just for men and airports like Kodera... I'll feel very uncomfortable if I put anything in it."

Nao: "But Erina-chan isn't that big, right?"

Erina: "Obviously it's okay!"

Erina: "By the way, I'm not talking about whether it's big or not! It's about whether it's good or not! That one at Kodera feels like he's been chopped with a knife!"

Erina: "...Huh? Wait. Maybe she was really chopped..."

Nao: "You didn't successfully heal yourself after being chopped?"

Erina: "Wow... scary."

Erina: "Suddenly I felt that Kodera looked so pitiful..."
