“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.
