[Is it too uncomfortable to carry me like this?]
Arc asked.
[No, not really, but your idea was strange, master.]
Miranda replied to him.
[Is it a good idea or a bad idea?]
Arc asked him.
[Odd but effective. No one will check it if I say I am carrying the loots.]
Miranda replied her.
[Well, that's fine then.]
Arc said. He was actually using Tanjiro's wooden box-like box, which he used to carry Nezoko. Though Nezoko was a little kid she need a little box, in his case he needed a big box, but the good thing is Miranda was a tall woman so it wasn't really a problem to carry it.
[We are in our secret route, master.]
Miranda announced to him.
[Hmm, isn't that our pond?]
By the way, there was a tiny hole where Arc was able to see outside.
[Yea.]
[Gosh, this will be difficult then. But where is the route?]
[Under the pond.]
Miranda replied.
[Impressive, not many will suspect that someone can go and come inside the mansion via pond.]
Arc said then he think about their situation. He continued,
[Well, I can hold my breath for a certain amount of time, but the water will come inside this box. Which will be troublesome, it looks like we need to go back and revise our escape plan.]
[Umm, don't worry, we have our own method to escape under the water without getting wet.]
Miranda told him.
[Wait, is there a way?]
Arc said with genuine amazement.
[Yes, or won't it be easy to track us if we are walking around wet bodies?]
Miranda asked him.
[Yes, you are right.]
Arc replied.
[Pocket Air dimension.]
When she said that round wall made surrounding their body. Its wall was transparent, if you are not too near this boundary you won't able to notice it.
Without exchanging any words she silently dives into the water.
[Wow, you made no sound.]
Arc told her.
[This is also the attribute of this magic. No sound will be made from this.]
She told him.
[Yes, and it looks like we are not getting wet either.]
Arc saw the water wasn't about to pass this round boundary. We are inside the hole. She started to dive into the hole. It was 3 minutes she was diving in it. And finally, they are out of the water.
And they came outside inside from the old branch of trees.
[You guys were really prepared to kill me, na?]
Arc asked her.
[Well, we were ordered to kill you. That's all, our organization made all the preparation to kill someone even if he is disabled, or a person that has no worth. Leaving a loophole isn't our type, however, we really failed to do this in your case, we couldn't kill you 18 times.]
She said. She started to walk in the street silently. No one is here. Arc looked at the outside, it's look like an average earth town to him. This world's technology can rival earth. This world also has cellphones and television, though there is no cable connected to his television may because he couldn't simply see one.
It is 2 AM, so it should be a deep night to have a good sleep. Arc noticed that this woman was an assassin by blood, or she gain this kind of skill after hard work, because she was walking in shadow without making single footsteps, or creating waves in the air.
[What is your organization called?]
Arc asked her.
[Origin Shadow. I don't belong in that organization anymore, as soon as I betrayed the organization they will abandon me, and in a few days, they will send an assassin to kill me.]
She said.
[That's bad then, isn't it?]
Arc asked her.
[I don't really care, if it is for you, I am ready to die.]
She said.
'That kind of dialogue given by a hero, isn't it?'
Though he thought that, he was happy. Because her words seem sincere toward him. When his ex said that, he clearly knows that it was a big lie because her tone was so different, uncertain and a youth's whim.
[They will come for me too, isn't it?]
Arc asked her.
[Sadly, yes.]
She replied to him sincerely here too.
[Why do they want to kill me?]
Arc asked her.
[After all, as long as you are alive, it is possible that you recovered and have the throne because you are the only direct blood of the previous king. Your mother was the only child of the king, your mother was a former queen, and your father later became the queen when she got sick and failed to bed. She has many followers, who will support you to become the king, 90% of the family doesn't support your other two step-siblings like you, so they must kill you to become the inheritor of the throne.]
She said.
'So, I was the son of King? Well, that explains the feud. No matter which world you go to, conflict for power exists.'
Arc tried to smile with irony but his paralyzed body didn't allow that.
[We are here, master. In front of the Valefor.]
