Keep going down the stairs.

The staircase feels like an endless spiral, but the patterns on the walls tell me that it's not some kind of endless loop.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, we finally see a light coming from below!

We quicken our pace and rush down, but suddenly, there's nothing under our feet and we fall!

"Ah!"

"Oh my god! What was that!"

The scream wasn't from me, but someone did scream.

And the next second, I feel someone lifting me up and then throwing me out!

"Master!"

A white figure rushes over and catches me!

"Master, are you okay?"

The pure white face looks at me with concern.

"I'm fine, but could you please put me down..."

The position I'm in right now is quite awkward, being held by a girl who's a head shorter than me. It looks terrible.

"Ah! Brother! What are you doing here!"

"Fir, you idiot. I knew it, who else would suddenly fall from the sky."

"Hey hey hey! When did I have such a setting of falling from the sky! Am I Lin Meimei!"

After putting me down, Pure White and I look at the two girls in the room.

Aliyah and Oyado, I didn't expect to meet them here.

And now we're in a room with white walls on all sides, and the walls emit white light, serving as a light source.

And where I fell just now... the spiral staircase only goes up to the ceiling, no wonder I fell through the air.

"Fir, if you fell from above... does that mean it's a dead end up there?"

"Yes, it's a maze up there. But it disappeared after I cleared it."

I pick up a frog next to me and place it on Pure White's shoulder.

"That frog over there is the controller, but now it's our companion."

"What?!"

Both of them look surprised.

"You actually recovered the controller too? What about a way out?"

"I don't know, it just said to come down here, and then..."

I look at the frog, but it has a look on its face that I don't understand.

"What about you guys?"

"We? We also fell into a maze, and after tearing down all the walls along the way, we fell directly into this ventilation duct."

"Tearing down all the walls in the maze... that's really your style."

I shake my head.

"But since you're all here, doesn't that mean this should be the way out?"

"That's true... but hey! Who's that over there!"

Following Aliyah's pointing finger, I turn my head.

She's pointing at... Pure White?

"Oh, her. She's our new companion, Pure White."

"New companion? You really like recruiting new companions, huh? Hahaha..."

"What are you talking about? Pure White is a Shikigami we took from someone else."

"Shikigami?"

Aliyah looks at her carefully, then looks at her name.

"I can't believe this... what did you do to her?"

"Well..."

I shrug.

"I don't know either. She suddenly became conscious when we were fighting monsters. I have no idea."

"Suddenly?"

"...This description is a bit ambiguous, but yes."

"How is that possible..."

Aliyah looks at her again, and after seeing Pure White's name, she looks panicked.

"Well, anyway, this girl is still shorter than me. What was the person who made her thinking?"

That's right, Pure White's figure is like that of a loli, taller than Oyado but a bit shorter than Aliyah.

"Well, who knows. In any case, Pure White is our new companion now. Let's all get along."

"Nice to meet you."

Pure White bows quickly.

"Brother, brother~" Oyado walked up to me and said.

"I'm the only sister you have, right?"

"Uh? Yes...yes."

"That's good then~"

Why worry about this issue...oh well, it doesn't matter.

"But...how do we..."

Snap!

Suddenly, a hole appeared on the wall.

"...leave this place."

They didn't even give me a chance to finish speaking!

"Well, let's go! I'm hungry," Aliyah said and walked out through the hole.

"I am too, brother~"

"Alright...let's go, Pure White."

"Yeah~"
