Chapter 4.18

It's been quite some time ever since our group have been walking down the stairs, with Kuroyuki leading us at the front of the group.

I can't really see the end of the stairway aside from the darkness that lies beneath.

As the last person behind the group, I inadvertently look behind— and was surprised to find that the staircase's emergency door is nowhere to be seen aside from the light.

"Kuroyuki— how exactly far down is it…?" I yelled.

"…Probably a few more hundred steps." She replied calmly.

"Eh… we still have to walk another few more hundred…?" Persia heaved a sigh of exasperation.

It's just as Kuroyuki described— there's only one narrow staircase that could barely fit two people side by side.

"By the way… is it my problem or is this place getting darker…?" Persia asked.

"Now that you mention it… It really is getting darker." August murmured.

"There's electromagnetic pulse down there." Kronos retorted. "What do you expect? A backup light?"
