Ex-Girlfriend, Ex-Boyfriend (2)

I climbed the stairs frantically.

The door connecting the deepest level to the deep level was closed.

I crashed into the door, almost throwing myself at it.

Bang, bang bang!

If I knock like this, they're supposed to open the door from outside.

Sure enough, the door creaked open.

I shot through that door gap.

"Uwaaaah!"

The dwarves pulling the pulley chains to open the door were startled.

They probably didn't expect me to suddenly burst through.

When they lost grip of the chains, the partially opened door slammed shut again.

An idea occurred to me.

Wouldn't it be good to make it so they can't open the door at all?

I took out the dagger Ashura and struck the chains connected to the pulley.

Clang!

The chain showed no signs of breaking.

Damn, these dwarves are unnecessarily good at making things.

Instead, I hung from the pulley fixed above.
