“Chapter 85: Night of the Astray 2”


    – Phew, I almost didn’t make it.


    Despite Letty’s little scene I managed to get to the toilet in time.


    The toilet wasn’t flushing like a human one. It just had a hole. I’m not sure how the sewage system works or if they even have one.


    – I should stop thinking about it.


    Before my mind reached unwanted places, I took another look at the note and came back the way I got here.


    – It’s really cold in here huh…


    The castle is inhabited by the undead so the temperature has probably never been an issue before.


    I wish there was something to keep me warm-


    – GWOOOOOOOOHH


    – HYEGH!?


    A skull appeared right in front of my eyes. The red circles in its eye sockets were staring at my soul.


    – Oo. This. Possible? Takaya-sama?


    – Huh? Oh, wait. Werg? Is that you?


    – Ye. That one. Werg. I patrol for Mumuruu-sama.


    I only recognized him because of his silver crown.


    – What wrong, Takaya-sama? Room far.


    – What? Mumuruu’s notes said this was the shortest path back to the rooms…


    I looked past Werg and saw stairs that should NOT be there according to the note.


    – Oh.


    Mumuruu’s notes only say “And here you turn right” or “Left this way”. It does not say anything about a staircase with a lever on the side.


    – Werg-san, by any chance, do the corridors in the castle change according to the time?


    – Yes. Just change now.


    As a fortress, it would be meaningless if intruders knew the structure’s layout, so the corridors are constantly changing.


    Well, I’m lost.


    I should’ve accepted Letty’s help, even if at the cost of my virginity.


    – Worry don’t. I lost too. Happen often. Michael. Big Brother. Lose too. Very.


    – Ah, right.


    This sack of bones won’t be of any help.


    NOW I’m lost for sure.


    – Uh, let’s see if I can find the right path.


    I could just stop here and wait for Letty and Mumuruu to look for me, but I’m too scared to stay here.


    I kept hearing a rumbling sound coming from the toilet. And I didn’t want to find out what it was.


    I decided to walk up the stairs that just appeared in front of me.
