Lesson 39: Thoughts

"I was fine leaving that to Noel!?

Noel turns back as he runs through the dark city of Esterbourg.

As I run, I hear the sound of buildings being destroyed unbroken again and again. but the fact that you can still hear it is also proof that you are in battle.

Now I trust Noel and decide to move on.

"Are you worried about Noel?

"That would be so. The enemy is definitely a Labyrinth family member. Considering the last of us to become family, we may not be enemies."

When we become a member of the Labyrinth family we know besides ourselves, it is about the family of Rio.

We had previously had a labyrinth offensive competition and finally we were going to fight Mr. Cattleya, the strongest of Rio's family, but we were going to be forced into such a critical battle. If Mr. Cattleya was in good health, it could have been dangerous.

Maybe I get anxious when I think about that time.

"It's okay."

"Really?"

"It's not like he hasn't done anything in a year since he became a family member. Even the level has gone up enough."

"Yeah......"

Still, I can't help but be anxious.

"You're both good to worry about the back, but you're aware that we're not alarmed, either."

"Of course."

Our movements are already being monitored by the Ventlers.

[Labyrinth junction] to escape surveillance, but it just can't be successfully deployed while running. Besides, magic is too inefficient. So now I'm running knowingly knowing where I'm headed.

Which should convey that we are aiming for the labyrinth nucleus through Farah.

The labyrinth nucleus is always resting on the lowest level of the labyrinth.

This is an absolute rule that everyone knows about labyrinth lords.

It's not like I can carry it somewhere.

Therefore, if we are aiming for the labyrinth nucleus, we need to attack the labyrinth.

... Most of the time, it's normal.

"But can you get to the bottom level that way?

"I don't know. I've never tried it, and I can't try it, so I'm just gonna have to bump into it and try it."

"I know that..."

"- I want you to tell me how."

Patti, one of his family members, was waiting when he came running to the square with the fountain, which was a resting place for the inhabitants.

"... was it best to stop one person in that child after all"

I realize that she has succeeded in stopping Noel from being the only one on this occasion.

But if you try it on her, that's not enough at all.

"Well, fine. I was supposed to come through Farrah, and the stopping of all of you was my role, but there was more to it than that."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna stare at this one.

What she's saying is how to reach the bottom tier in an unusual way.

If they find out about this, they'll have to do labyrinth attacks the way they normally do, so it'll be a hassle.

Sassy Melissa stands in front of me.

"Try not to think about how to do that"

"What do you mean?

"You too, Mr. Ira."

"Oh, me?

"You're the most dangerous."

……

Ira who gets silent.

I don't think that's why I shouldn't put it in my mouth.

Iris stands to hide Ira's appearance.

"If my predictions are correct, this thought has been read"

"What?"

"She made contact in the guild knowing we were labyrinth lords. You also understood that was a dangerous thing to do. But I've been in very normal contact. Of course, there are possible reasons why I underestimated it, couldn't say no as the secretary of the Alliance Master, etc."

It must be dangerous because you expose your identity, even if for a reason.

It is now possible to go around saying that not only the Viscount Ronvelt family, but also the secretary of the Alliance Master, is dangerous.

Still the reason for the contact.

"Perhaps there is a reason for her skills"

It's no surprise that Patti also has acquired some special skills again, as Farah had acquired a special skill called [Labyrinth Soul Binding].

And there was a verse that came to mind.

"Guildmaster... No, they were surprisingly receptive to this story when they were talking to Ventler, weren't they?"

I did wonder if I'd get into more things.

For example, you will need something to prove that you are real with regard to giant demons, a record of battle with Lüze, and contact with Rio, who has likewise encountered members of the labyrinth family of examples.

but none of those suggestions were made.

They had such a solid basis that they didn't have to do that.

"Oh? Can I make up my mind that easily?

"I have my reasons."

"Say what... Huh!

Patti jumps out of the way.

But it's too late to know.

"I knew you had the skill to - [Reading]"

"How could you... imitate you guys and say we had magic tools for [appraisal] measures!

"It's a simple story. You showed me too much of your hand."

The magic tools they've prepared are excellent. I have the firm power to prevent this [appraisal].

But Melissa was better than that.

The magic tool emitted power like a wave to interfere against [appraisal], and had the power to make it look less good. So Melissa succeeded by remembering the wave shape, making sure to sew the gaps and using [appraisal].

Most of the time, only a small part of it was visible.

"Skills are good enough"

The effect of [reading] is to be able to read more information about objects and people. Similar effects to [Appraisal (Analyze)], but unlike [Appraisal (Analyze)], which can only be read against objects and people about the labyrinth, there are no restrictions in [Reading (Reading)]. Besides, I can even read thoughts when I use them against people.

It is not that the weakest points do not exist.

"Now I know why I've shown up twice."

Meet with the Alliance Master.

Even this time he showed up to stop.

She needed to be exposed until she took the risk.

"Range, is it"

The effective range of [Loading] is 30 meters.

I notice even in the middle of a run if they get that close. That's why I decided to show up and have my legs stopped.

Nevertheless, it is not that there is no way to cover weaknesses. Until now, I have tuned it with the labyrinth in [labyrinth tone] and even read the thought if necessary of all those who are in Esterbul by recognizing the labyrinth as themselves by combining it with [map].

But in order to do that, a level difference was needed between them.

"Their skills are broken skills to fight in the labyrinth. But unlike us, it's less level than we are because we were not interested in going outside and only raising the level to the extent possible within our own labyrinth. We were stronger. That's all we're talking about."

Patty applauds for listening to Melissa.

"Everything is correct. In order to read your thoughts, I really needed to be in close contact. You've been thinking too much and it's hard to read your thoughts, but the swordsmen there and so on have been very easy to read your thoughts."

"You...!

"Please shut up. Never think about examples."

There is another condition for reading thoughts.

You have to keep your opponent in sight. Now in front of Ira stands Iris. It has become Iris' thought that Ira's thoughts can be read out of the way even when she tries to read them.

"Too bad. But you seriously think I'm just someone who reads their thoughts?

"... I don't think"

The only skills Melissa could see were [Labyrinth Operation] and [Load]. The possibility of having other special skills cannot be discarded.

"I'm the one who..."

"Wait a minute!

Being able to read the other person's thoughts in an interpersonal battle is a threat.

Patty herself said Melissa's thoughts were hard to read. That's why Melissa is not the best place to be if you're going to patty.

But there's something Melissa needs to do.

That's why Sylvia waited.

"I'll deal with him"

"The other person can read the thought. Unexpected doesn't work."

"I'm fine. I've got a plan."
