ioned me aggressively, I replied after a short pause.
Yep, stupid spider, I'm pretty sure she can't hear your voice.

 ”…”

 After mentally making a retort, I glanced at Botan.
Through our eye contact, I continued speaking.

 ”For now, let's get out of this noisy room…
It seems like we can escape from this room through that gate.”

 I briefly glanced at the stone gate behind the stone coffin.
But it was being crushed and pushed by the struggling aliens and slime.

 ”””……””””

 '(#°Д°)'

 Suddenly, everyone present exchanged glances, struck by the unexpected situation.
And then…

 ”What!? You're kidding, right?”

 ”Oh, this is the worst!”

 ”Darn it! Isn't there any other way out?”

 '(´・д・) Ahhaha!'


 In a panic, we desperately searched the chaotic room for an escape route.

* * *

 The room quickly became more chaotic.
The aliens and slime were engaged in a seemingly never-ending back-and-forth battle.
The mummy king was still flopping around on the floor.

 And amidst all that, we continued searching through the chaos.

 ”D*mn! Is there no way out here either? Anywhere, anywhere at all?”

 ”Please, stay calm! You're distracting me! Ahh, this book is useless too!”

 We searched through the traps on the walls and floor, and rummaged through the scattered scrolls and burial items, desperately looking for a way out.
Unfortunately, we hadn't found any results yet.

 '(・∀・) Your back!'

 ”Whoa!? That's dangerous!”

 White Spider's warning? I swung my dagger to fend off a slimy tentacle that was reaching out.
The severed tentacle, still wriggling on the floor like a grilled salted sweetfish, was quickly crushed.

 'Clip-clop! Clip-clip-clip!'

 ”Hey, don't look this way…!!”

 '(* >ω<) Kyaa! She's so naughty!!'

 As I noticed the gaze, I saw one of the slime creatures staring at me with countless eyeballs.
Red, shining like beads or crystals, its eyes bore into me with an eerie feeling, evoking a primal fear.
Well, stupid spider, I'm pretty sure it's not looking at you!

 'Clip…'


 'Clip-cloppp!!'

 The slime's second attack was intercepted by a beam fired from the side.
The alien concentrated green beams from its arm and shot back at the slime.
However, it was quickly attacked by another slime and began firing its green beams wildly in a frenzy.

 '(・д・oノ)ノ Whoa-!?

 ”Hey! Stop shooting at us with those creepy beams!”

 I hid behind a fallen bookshelf to dodge the beams.
Looking around, I saw that Botan and the others were also hiding behind bookshelves for emergency evacuation.
Hey bear, sorry to break it to you, but you're too big to hide behind the bookshelf properly.
You're exposing your head while trying to hide your butt! 'Kuun!!?' Oh, now a stray beam hit your butt, and you're screaming.

 ”Well, this is like a festival.
We won't get anywhere like this.”

 ”I wish there was something we could do…”

 Shishimai and Tamaki murmured.
I shifted my gaze to Botan, who was reading ancient books amidst the chaos.
Her hands, which had been roughly flipping through the pages, stopped.
Did she find something?

 ”This demon magic book might be useful.
For now…
'Guardians, bring destruction upon them!'”

 '(・`ω・´) Roger that, I'll bring it on!'

 Botan, with a slightly smug expression, chanted the curse.
Instantly, soldiers with dog faces emerged from the wall paintings.
They were the guardians protecting the pyramid, armed with spears and sickles.
There were eight of them.
Following Botan's command, they joined the fray, fighting alongside the monsters.
Hey spider, why are you still making that cocky face?

 ”This should buy us some time.
Now…
this is it, the teleportation.”

 Flipping through a few pages, Botan pointed to a specific section.

 ”Sounds good.
Let's get out of here and say goodbye to these monsters.”

 ”Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
This doesn't seem to be such a convenient curse.
Moreover, it seems to require a sacrifice.”

 With those words, Botan glanced at me.
Hey, stop that.
Don't look at me after talking about sacrifices.
