Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

This is Strela. Hi, this looks like a labyrinth somewhere?

Labyrinth? Why are you in such a place...

I want to hear it...Really, why did I bother to transfer it into the labyrinth?

Well? But there is no labyrinth in the Kingdom of Mercrio?

Yeah, you know what?

Can you tell me the characteristics of the appearance?Maybe you can tell where it is. "

Hmm. (I don't know.) Why don't you go there and see the view directly through the communication magic equipment you're using right now?

Eh? Are you sure? Can't you detect magic?

You can't help it now. Allow me?

The magic equipment that Strela wore in her ears was equipped with various functions for communication purposes, such as voice communication and image communication, in addition to hearsay communication.However, since it uses magic to communicate, it is customary to turn off almost all functions without being noticed when conducting undercover operations in strict confidence.

However, as things stood, the undercover investigation was not an end in itself, but an escape, Strela decided to lift some of the restrictions.Her top priority is to return to the Kingdom of Mercury by the time limit.For that reason, it seemed like they had no choice but to develop into battle.

As a result, Sakura observes the interior of the Labyrinth through Strela's magic equipment.... but...

It's dark and I can't see anything....

—— The light in the visible light zone is not flying at all, and even if you observe the interior of the labyrinth through magic equipment, the only information that reaches Sakura is a dark image.Sakura's manoeuvre to estimate where the labyrinth is based from its appearance features starts off on the reef.

Can't it be bright?

If someone observes our behavior, they'll find out where we are and what we're doing when we light it up.I think it's dangerous for a boulder. "

Then please exit this dark area and move to a bright place.

"What? A labyrinth is a cave, right?Isn't it so dark everywhere?

No, it's more like a labyrinth, so there's also a bright spot.I just know it as knowledge, and I've never actually entered it..... "

"It's my first time here, so I didn't know...(It seems like you can see a lot of interesting sights) By the way, does a dark compartment like this exist in any labyrinth?Besides, there are zombies and skeletons... "

Undead compartment... please wait a minute. I'll look into it now.

Sakura said so, and began to roll over the communication magic equipment like a book with a pair of peppers.Meanwhile, Strela uses her infrared camera to walk through a dark passage and crush the head of a monster everywhere with a knife.

And after a while, when Strella reached the big room.Sakura replied.

At least not in a labyrinth in human space south of the Great River.It looks like there was an undead section in the Labyrinth in the Borealis Empire before --

"Because my sisters destroyed every labyrinth, there's no one left... which means I don't know where this labyrinth is?"

"... I'm sorry. I can't determine the Labyrinth as long as I look at the materials at hand...I hope it's not an unknown labyrinth, just an unconfirmed compartment. "

"Yes... by the way, what is it?"

After unfortunately dropping her shoulders, Strela quickly switched the conversation.Apparently there has been a change in the sight.

There's a skeleton in the sky with some kind of blue and white cloth, but that--

Aren't you rich?

"I see... it seems like it's strong, but is it the master of the hierarchy?"

A skeleton —— Rich -- floats in the air with strange signs about 30 meters in front of Strela.Seeing the figure, Strella seemed to have thought about going back the way she came back.

The reason is simple: if Rich were to be the hierarchical lord, or the compartment owner, the passage that would appear after Rich was defeated should be in the direction of diving rather than exiting the labyrinth.Her aim is to escape now, 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

Nevertheless, there was a long way to go, and Strella had to move on.

Well then, I'm going into battle.

She decided to fight Rich.
