“Filo would have loved to check this out,” I commented. “I guess not! Let’s just get to the good stuff!” Kizuna enthused. We don’t need to think about how it happened.” If it’s open, then we get to check inside. That sounded like a pain in the ass to me. I still had to accept that this whole thing was likely extremely complicated. “If they were that specifically targeted, someone would have worked that out by now,” I countered. “Maybe those ofuda were to ward off soul eaters?” Kizuna suggested. “That’s also possible, but then all you’d have to do is bring a soul eater here and the door would open,” I responded. “Maybe she interfered with whatever is going on with this door?” “Shildina does cause a strange sense of oppression in spirits like me,” Glass said. Maybe it had opened as a reaction to our weapons. The old man had said that it would open when the right time came. The door may have actually been created with some kind of self-awareness,” Shildina theorized.
As soon as I realized there was a kind of residual energy here, it just opened on its own. Even as she was talking, the ofuda on the door suddenly burst into flames, and with a sound of grating stone, the door. Could this be residual thoughts too?” Shildina wondered. Ruft broke that seal, allowing us inside. “It’s like the seal on the weapon hall the Past Heavenly Emperor left behind. But it also reminds me of a similar place back in Q’ten Lo,” Shildina revealed. it feels like incredibly complex magic is sealed in here. Having received my half-hearted permission, Shildina reached out to one of the large ofuda attached to the door. Sweet Naofumi, can I investigate?” Shildina asked.
“I’m interested in what kind of magic these ofuda are comprised of. We started to examine the door to the Holy Tool Grotto. “We can still see if you and Glass can get in, Raphtalia,” I told her. It was set out in the boonies and a treasure trove like this appeared in the story. That thought originated with a bizarre murder-mystery novel I read once.
“My master also told me that there is apparently a legendary holy tool housed inside.” From the external décor, I was expecting either a legendary hoe or some torture equipment. “If only things were that easy,” Glass replied. I was foolish for not realizing that needing her here might be an eventuality. We’d left Raph-chan behind to watch the old lady in battle. “Do you think Raphtalia, Raph-chan, and Glass might be able to open it, like at the Ancient Labyrinth Library?” Kizuna asked. It occurred to me in that moment that maybe we could have just crashed through the walls in the Ancient Labyrinth Library-however, they had pretty strict rules about no fire, so attempts at reconstruction would probably get you kicked out too. It was the kind of thing everyone thinks they might try their hand at, but no one can actually break. “There are thick additional barrier walls inside there, apparently,” Glass informed me. “Anyone ever think of checking it out by just smashing their way inside?” I asked. But my master has given his permission, so the only remaining issue is whether we can open it or not,” Glass replied. “Sounds like going inside will get you more than a stern talking to,” I said. This place is forbidden, even to members of our style,” Glass explained.
It has been here since ancient times, but no amount of investigation has ever been able to provide an answer on how to open it. “This is where my master was trying to bring us. It was something that looked like a cave closed with a thick door so heavy there simply had to be a hoard of treasure behind it. We arrived in front of the sealed chamber.
