Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"It's... it's a labyrinth"

"... Huh?

Waltz holding his head unexpectedly for Yuki C (Minister of Military Affairs) speaking of a story without context.

"... so that bucket is what the labyrinth is all about."

'Huh?!

Now even Julia, who had not had a surprised look so far, raised her voice of consternation.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Waltz accidentally forgets to salute Yuki C's bomb statement.

And would it also require an annotation: 'In the knowledge of the modern world'?

Then this time, Sylvia raises her voice.

"Ko, is this labyrinth okay?!

(Hmm?... oh, if you ask me, this is also a labyrinth... wow...)

To Sylvia's words, now she felt eaten, Waltz looked gennary.

"Please calm down, everyone. I will not take His Majesty to such a dangerous place, so..."

and Yuki C to bring up the other demon kings that are likely to be changing balls.

"Besides, the cause is unknown, because there is no Scar Vixen already, and there is no indication at all that the other labyrinths are trying to move out the same..."

"Eh..."

Waltz and the others raised their voices of doubt to her as if the city itself had been defeated.

"... oh, you didn't say. Proti Vixen, Deftery Vixen, and Skar Vixen are actually also about the labyrinth. Is the town called the labyrinth, is the labyrinth called the town..."

To such Yuki C, the Waltz... especially Waltz and Lucia, lost their words with a blue face.

I don't know how they're reacting like that... well, it goes without saying.

That being the case, apparently Yuki A (the Demon King) has not informed the rest of Yuki of the story that Waltz and the others say they destroyed Skar Vixen.

Later, rumors spread among the citizens who regained their minds, and stories of being defeated by Lucia may come to their ears, but there is probably no way that the Waltz and the others will find out within the three days they plan to stay...

Until then, for now, it doesn't seem to be a hassle that Lucia or Waltz can take charge of, etc., so I wonder if I can have a relatively free time during my stay?

Or it doesn't have to be thought that Eve sitting next to Sylvia will fall apart... but it doesn't seem like she's going to talk about it on this occasion.

Because she's... No, we'll talk about this later.

Even then, Yuki C went on to explain Skar Vixen.

"The beginning of the matter goes back to a few weeks after Yuki (A), His Majesty's... messenger, traveled to Mid-Eden..."

This seems to be the case by her story.

Originally, a city called Scar Vixen (...), unlike other cities (Vixen), was like a slightly larger village that combined institutions to study the labyrinth itself.

Therefore, most (mostly) of the interior of the labyrinth that encloses the city was a "undisclosed" dungeon created by the labyrinth itself, rather than a "city" that was hand-in-hand by people.

In short, it was about this Scar Vixen that the adventurers wandered in search of their dreams and hopes.

It was only a few weeks after Yuki's trip to Mid-Eden that such a big change came to Skar Vixen.

It was only over a month ago, when she arrived in Mid-Eden.

One day, a researcher approached Scar Vixen Core, the nucleus of the labyrinth, and suddenly, he was swallowed up.

Then, shortly afterwards, Scar Vixen went wild or something...

... Totally abrupt, I would like you to understand that Yuki C and the others didn't know how he got closer to the nucleus than he needed to, and the cause of the labyrinth's rampage seemed unknown, so I had to describe it this way in the end.

By the way.

From there, in order to talk in more detail, we will need to supplement it about the labyrinths of this world.

First, I'm going to briefly explain the labyrinth to this world.

One, I'm gonna call in demons from the outside and take them inside.

2, Generate items that people might want internally

3, absorb dead demons and people from the wall

4, Living, so it grows and grows

It's a hierarchical structure, it's a boss system, it's a maze using items... and so on (?) Since the system varies from one labyrinth to another, it is decided to omit until a detailed description of the interior is given.

Well, if you still want to briefly explain, the labyrinth itself learns to efficiently consume people and demons (?) In the process of growing to be able to do so, can you generally grasp the hypothesis that various functions will become ready for the labyrinth as a result of acquiring various wisdoms and techniques?

Well.

In the first place, the labyrinth itself attracts demons from the surrounding fields with things like pheromones or using 'feeds' such as items and weapons to attract people was for part of the 'diet' to take them into the labyrinth (in the body) and digest and absorb them.

Inside it, if the adventurers defeat the demons, they will feed the labyrinth, and vice versa, they will still feed the labyrinth.

This neighborhood is a common labyrinth everywhere (?) can be said to be the same system as

There was a particularly phagocytic area in such a labyrinth.

That is the nucleus of the Labyrinth.

Yes, the nucleus of this world's labyrinth does not exist as an object.

It was only what people called the nucleus of the labyrinth, a particularly phagocytic area.

Nevertheless, it is not an exaggeration to say nuclear, as the activity of the labyrinth itself ceases permanently when powerful magical or physical shocks are applied to the walls of that realm...

Therefore, for no reason, approaching the nucleus of the labyrinth was regarded every time.

Not only to avoid unnecessary casualties, but also for the city of Vixen and the Boreas Empire, in coexistence with the labyrinth, because they could not let go of the labyrinth, which could be called the property of the state, in case.

Of course, the passage around the nucleus of the labyrinth is heavily sealed, so it is not usually easy for anyone or him to get close.

But there were those who could approach the nucleus of such a labyrinth relatively easily.

… the researchers.

For the sake of research, it was really necessary for them to approach the nucleus critical of the labyrinth to conduct an investigation.

Therefore, the Boreas government had also, to the extent of its own responsibility, given them special permission to approach the nucleus of the labyrinth... after all, it seems that careless people are rarely, at the rate of one person every few years, eaten.

Until now, however, even if researchers and others were swallowed up by the labyrinth, there has never been anything like a sudden runoff of the labyrinth.

Well, just because the place to be absorbed is nucleus, it's simply being eaten, so it's natural to take it for granted...

... but not until the researchers in this case are swallowed up.

"... since he was swallowed, all of a sudden, Scar (... Vixen) started a rampage and crawled out of the basement. The big hole on the back of the royal castle is where the scar used to be."

At that time, those left behind in the labyrinth and the demons were swallowed up.

In part, wizards and researchers who can use metastatic magic have managed to escape with their lives and have used this information.

"Inside the beginning, Scar was also very manly just going right and left on the surrounding plains, but about three weeks ago now, an adventurer launched an attack on Scar..."

With that said, Yuki and the others (except Yuki A) meditate on their eyes and wrinkle between their brows.

Apparently, there were adventurers like problem children.

"And then what I mean, Scar started attacking people.... of course that was no exception to the properties exposed to the ground..."

Afterwards, the Boreas army, led by Yuki C (military minister), said it succeeded in stopping the movement, albeit at great cost to the town of Proti Vixen and the soldiers, by attacking Skar Vixen's short hands and feet.

Perhaps Yuki, with demonic kingship power, was also shady enough to take part in the battle.

"So, until yesterday, I stopped moving a lot, but somehow the magic suddenly became available, and I exercised the healing magic, and it moved again."

(Wow... I knew it was too good a time...)

Waltz holding his head inside listening to Yuki C like that.

And Yuki C started talking about this morning.

"That's why we evacuated the citizens of the Proti to a section with a second (...) royal castle in this labyrinth..."

That being said, once again, Yuki C comes up with a look that seems difficult.

... Assuming she's right, there was no damage at all to the city of Deftery Vixen, which you can see through the window, so apparently there's another in this labyrinth (Deftery Vixen) (that's it?), the same large space seems to exist as here.

"... inside of it, somehow, a scar came in too..."

"Ha..."

The labyrinth that goes inside the labyrinth... is it like Matryosica?

"So, again, when we evacuated people to the outside world, Scar went after it too... and then, as you all know, we had an unexplained blast,"

"Oh, that was tough..."

"Yeah..."

Waltz and Lucia worried about how to hammer because the timing of their appearance was too good.

Actually, there may be some connection between ourselves and Scar Vixen's rampage, that's what we were thinking.

Either way, apparently, when we defeated Scar Vixen, we didn't kill a large number of prisoners together, so we both had our hearts shut.

"That's all the explanation is. Is there anything else you don't know?

After a big sigh, Yuki C asks.

"No... okay. Thank you for explaining."

That's what I say and I bow my head, Waltz.

... of course, it was full of things I still don't know... well, in the first place, you shouldn't know what happened to the Yuki's either, so I couldn't help but listen to more than the current explanation, so I gave up the question.

Or could you say that you feared that there might be more big men out there than sandworm following the ""?

... and another point, there was a decisive reason Waltz didn't ask any more questions.

(... how come, people don't get their hands on meals...)

Yes, they didn't have their hands on the appetizers or the drinks that came out.

When Waltz is raising such questions,

"(Um... Master Waltz? If Master Waltz doesn't get his hands on the meal, I don't think everyone will start eating...)"

"(hey...)"

I mean, unless our guest of honor, the Mid-Eden messenger (Lucia), gets his hands on the meal, I guess neither Yuki nor Julia get their hands on the meal.

And Lucia assumes that her sister is the guest of honor, so unless Waltz ends up getting his hands on the meal, the dinner party won't start.

(Gu, muggy...)

This is how Waltz's strategy of imitating someone's table manners ended up before the dinner party started, broke...

... Note that no one actually had a hand in the meal... not that.

"Mmm, it melts and tastes good in my mouth!

Eve hands on de (...) the (...) - (...) t (...) with that said.

... it seemed trivial to her, still young, that the crisis in Vixen and the labyrinth were so trivial that she would be summery before a delicious meal...
