3. The Four Mazes

For now, we decided to make our way to the stamp point in the western wood maze. However...

“Didn’t we just come through here?”

“It’s a dead end again.”

“It feels like we’re just going around in circles~!”

...We were lost. I wasn’t sure if it was because we were in a dream, but the wood grain pattern across the walls repeated the same way throughout the maze. It was impossible to tell if we were progressing, regressing, or if we’d even moved at all. The sky remained the same hue of pink, and the clouds didn’t move, so we couldn’t tell if time had passed either.

After a while, Miss Micah plopped down on the floor and sighed. “I wish we could make some markings~!”

“Yeah... It’d be easier if we could have a trail or some kind of mark to note our progress,” Lord Glen said as he sighed.

Miss Micah and Lord Glen then started pushing and pulling their arms in and out of the air before collectively sighing once more.

“We can’t use our Item Boxes, so we can’t take anything out to use~”

Both of them had time-stopping Item Boxes. They’d been trying to use them within the dream but to no avail. I also tried willing things back from the Spirit World through the Spirit Tree bracelet on my left wrist, but that didn’t work either.

Even though we can’t use our Item Boxes, maybe we can use things we normally carry around?

“Now that I think about it...I have my pen magic tool.”

I always kept the pen-shaped magic tool my family had given me to celebrate my coming of age on my person. I took it out and tried drawing a big circle on the wooden wall closest to me.

“Oh, I was able to make a mark,” I said with a smile. “Now we’ll know we’ve already been here.”

Both Lord Glen and Miss Micah’s eyes widened.

“Wh-Why do you have your pen~?”

“We’re in a dream, right? How do you have something from reality?”

“Hm? I wonder why?”

I looked carefully at the pen. It was the same aqua blue as Lord Glen’s eyes, and it was definitely the same one I always carried. The three of us tilted our heads a little as we tried to figure out the reason.

Lord Glen groaned, then stared at the pen for a minute before sighing. He must have tried to use his [Appraisal] Skill out of habit.

“Can I borrow the pen for a second?” he asked.

“Of course.”

After I handed it to him, he drew a star on the wall before handing it right back.

“It doesn’t look like you’re the only one who can use it.”

“That’s so weird~! But now we can mark where we’ve been~”

While we didn’t know why it’d worked, it would make getting through the maze much easier. Instead of continuing to dwell on it, we decided to continue forging ahead.

Using the star Lord Glen drew as our point of origin, we began drawing circles on the walls leading down the branching paths we took. If we ran into a dead end, we’d backtrack to the branch and draw an X over the circle.
