Foreigner's Mistake

Book 5: Chapter 53: Labyrinth ~ 11

Then a hole opens up to the last layer.

He jumped down and immediately realized that this place was slightly different from the previous ones. After all, the height was much different. Up until now, the height of single layer was about half a majors (4.5 meters), but here, the height of the layer was three times as high. Satoru landed softly, without taking the impact of the fall because of his Glide art, and looked around in circles. With only the lights from Rico's torch and Leia's wand, it seemed a little darker due to the weaker reflection from the ceiling.

The 100th layer perhaps this is the deepest.

As you can imagine, Leia looked a little nervous as she stepped down from Satoru's shoulder. Rico and Minerva also moved a little away from Satoru and looked around. A bleak rock wall and floor. The ceiling has been raised, and it seems to be no different from the previous floor, but that's impossible. Each of the four of them tightened their minds at the sense of tension that had somehow come over them.

I'm going to use Clairvoyance the floor to see if there's anything further down.

Just to be sure, Satoru put his hand on the floor and sent an image of looking at the other side. But no matter how far he went, he couldn't get a clear image of the other side. Even by simple calculation, this was 100 layers below ground, and considering the height of one layer, it must be about 600 meters below the ground.

.......It seems that there's nothing more below. I'm pretty sure this is the last layer.

Satoru stood up and glared at his surroundings. It was hard to tell exactly what the temperature was around him, thanks to the self-regulation of his body temperature by his own magical power. Leia, whose body temperature does not fluctuate much, but Minerva and Rico, who are lightly dressed, are not showing any signs of being cold, so the temperature must be comfortable in their own way.

The area was quiet and still, and there was no sign of any monsters lurking about.

Somewhere on this floor, there must be the Lord of this labyrinth. According to my intuition, it's not a living creature.

Satoru was in the lead, with Rico right behind him. Leia and Minerva lined up a little farther back, and they began their search of the 100th layer. There was a double trap on the way, but Rico found it easily, and Satoru's Disintegration saved the day.

But every time, how do you know there a trap?

Satoru muttered, half-amused. Since entering this labyrinth, Rico has seen through all the traps. Her intuition is almost divine. Rico shrugged her shoulders.

Ah, right. I don't know how to say this, but I can feel the air flow on my skin.

"Oya," Leia said.

Sensory Perception, I guess. But that's the thing. The duration of the effect is long, but it shouldn't have been the type of art that always activates. Rico, maybe you've been using it unconsciously, too.

It could be. But only recently, you know? It's only recently that I've been able to feel this way.

Rico has always had a keen sense of intuition. Her biggest mistake was choosing Satoru as the target of her pickpocketing, but that turned out to be a good thing, so she guesses it's a matter of opinion. Leia smiled a little.

........If you receive my Lord's semen, that's what happens.

Ah ...... ahhh ......

The intercourse with Satoru increased her soul. As a result, the magic that had not been manifested until now became clearly revealed, Leia predicted. It made sense to Rico. It is true that her senses have been sharpened since she started working with Satoru.

As for Satoru, he couldn't help but frown.

...... It's kind of complicated

Ah, ahahaha! You don't have to worry about it, Satoru. And it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I'm glad to have you do it ...... *mumbling*.

Satoru stroked Rico's head, her face red and the end of her words muddled, and muttered to herself.

Rico's pretty cute too.

......auhh

Immediately, Rico's face turned red and she looked down. Rico is not accustomed to receiving praise. As was the case with her earlier exchange with Leia, there was a side of her that could not accept praise in a straightforward manner.

Come to think of it, he probably hadn't praised Rico as honestly as he had in the past. Rico has been very helpful to him in many ways, and he have thanked her at every opportunity, but he have never praised her, Satoru realized.

Satoru stroked Rico's cheek, which was gradually shrinking, and smiled at her. There was no more distorted sweetness in her. Her dependence on Satoru was deep, but it was a dependence that she had to face head-on. It may have only been a few days, but Rico is growing up. There is no doubt about that.

When we get through this labyrinth, I want to do something to all of you.

Sex?

Minerva said immediately. Satoru smiled bitterly.

That's fine, though. Each of you, think of something you want me to do for you. I just want to return the favor.

After saying this, Satoru realized that this was a subtle flag of deathHowever, it would be foolish to retract it now. Leia and Rico exchanged glances with each other.

No need, I already happy enough to be with my Lord.

Me too.

Minerva, you know, I'd like to have sex with Danna-sama all day long!

The words of Leia and Rico, so reserved, were followed by Minerva's all-too-familiar desire. At first it was just a wish to have a child, but lately she has become completely addicted to sex itself.

Is Minerva okay with just that?

Yup!

All right, I got it. I'm going to have sex with you until I or Minerva can't move.

Really? Yayyy!

Both Rico and Leia looked enviously at Minerva's honest and innocent joy. They were even envious of Minerva's innocence in being able to say what she wanted so honestly.

Leia and Rico, think about it. If you want to hang out together, that's fine. I want to spend a day with both of you.

No, but ......

Leia.

Leia was about to argue with him, but Rico put her hand on Leia's shoulder and shook her head from side to side. Rico felt that It was not a good for a magical slave to ignore the kindness that Satoru has shown them.

They are here to fulfill Satoru's wish to return to his world. But even so, they should be able to afford to respond to the kindness Satoru had shown them.

I'll think about it. Leia, too.

...... hmm

When Rico interceded, Leia also broke down. This is a rare sight, as Leia has always been able to discourage Rico, but never the other way around. Leia is a bit paranoid about returning Satoru to the world he came from. Riko put a nail in Leia's coffin.

Leia must have thought it was nothing to be self-centered about. She honestly withdrew. This may be another example of Leia's growth.

They continued their search for about 30 minutes without encountering any monsters. The four of them looked at each other in front of a door that looked like that. It was the largest, most ornate door they had ever seen. Perhaps they needed to pick up a key from somewhere, but of course they didn't. They had only done a minimal amount of searching up to this point.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

However, the key was not even a problem for Satoru. He would just smash it down with his overwhelming magical power.

It's a big door. Maybe it's over here.

It's locked, but ......,you're going to smash it down, right?

Of course. All right, let's do it with gusto!

The four of them nodded vigorously to each other.

After looking around at the expressions on each of their faces, Satoru quickly held out his hand in front of him and used Disintegration. The door bent and literally shattered, beyond the power of a material that should normally be impervious to magic.

There was a cloud of dust and a roar. On the other side of the room was a large room with a large humanoid weapon that made a rusty sound and began to move. It must have been five meters tall. It looked like something out of an anime from a long time ago, a Golem.

Golem...... it's also made of mithril!?

Leia's voice trembled.

He vaguely recognize the golem, but he have only heard of mithril in the game.

Mithril. What kind of material is it?

Satoru asked Leia with one eye while holding the Giant Killer at the ready. The Golem, which is moving slowly, looks sluggish and sturdy. Therefore, it seems to have a lot of power.

Anyway, it's sturdy material and great for crafting magic ......, my Lord!

Whoa!

The Mithril Golem struck at Satoru with a ferocity and speed that did not match its appearance. Without panic and unperturbed, Satoru catches the Golem head-on with his Giant Killer. Satoru's legs slumped back at the sheer power, but it was a power that Satoru could control without any problem.

It was the first time I had seen the finished product. I mean, it must have been finished........I've heard that it was abandoned because it was too difficult to research. ......

Leia, realizing what was going on, threw the parchment that was scattered all over the place inside her cloakinto the shadows. Both Satoru and Riko just rolled their eyes at the sudden action. Minerva "Hmm" just looks at the beautiful woman curiously.

What are you doing?

This is one of the most valuable lost items. It's not a technology that should be allowed to exist in the world today. I know it's difficult to recreate, but it's still too dangerous.

Leia's voice had a hint of urgency in it.

Although we have conquered this labyrinth, we came in a straight line, so there are many parts we have not explored. Even though this is definitely the deepest part, this labyrinth will not be as vicious as before. Eventually someone will be able to explore this place, but it will be dangerous to leave these research results behind in that case. Even if the best treasure is this one.

I-I don't know if I got it or not.

It's dangerous, so don't leave anything behind. That's what I mean.

Too much technology leads to destruction. The reason why Satoru doesn't reveal what he has brought from modern Japan is because he is worried about the danger of it. Therefore, Leia's concern is understandable to Satoru.

If that's the case, shouldn't we destroy this area as well?

Hey, wai!

Once again, Leia's restraint failed to reach him.

The coffin and some sticks that were left behind were easily shattered by Satoru's Disintegration art, and turned into sand.

Leia sighed loudly and put her hand on her forehead. Satoru's short sightedness was a new thing, but even so, what he had just done could be quite fatal. Satoru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at the serious expression on Leia's face.

Leia was lost for a moment and then looked back at the beautiful woman standing there blankly.

......Can you talk?

However, the beautiful woman did not give a second thought to Leia's voice. She know that this beautiful woman can talk, because she answered Satoru's question a while ago. Despite this, Leia looked pissed off at the reaction of the beautiful woman who ignored her.

Oi, you can hear me, can't you? Don't ignore me.

Leia's asking. Answer her.

In response to Leia's irritated voice, Satoru added to the beautiful woman. If this beauty is a life form as Satoru predicted, she may be set to respond to commands, but ignore anything else.

In other words, she's just like a robot.

In response to Satoru's words, the beautiful woman turned around and faced Leia.

Certainly. Is this individual name Leia correct?

Y-yeah

Registration. Please ask questions.

Her silver eyes were turned straight in front of Leia, and for a moment, Leia was frightened, but then she cleared her throat and looked back at the coffin that had just been destroyed.

You know, I wonder if the things my Lord just destroyed are things you don't mind losing?

It is no longer possible to fill the crystals with magic power. However, it can be filled by other means, so it should not be a big problem.

I see.

While Satoru was relieved, Leia still looked reluctant.

Honestly, we don't know anything about you. So, I'd like you to answer a few questions for me.

Go ahead.

Leia looked at the beautiful woman with a searching gaze. She was around 5.5 feet (165cm) tall, about halfway between Minerva and Rico, and was of a large build for a woman. She looked to be around 20 years old. Her big breasts, though inferior to Minerva's, are upturned, and her white skin is still coated with golden liquid, giving her a somewhat lewd appearance. However, her emotionless expression and silver eyes reminded him of a doll, and perhaps that's why the lewd atmosphere was erased.

You are an artificial human who lives by magic power, correct?

It is unclear whether the term "artificial human" refers to me, but I was created by a mage in the Kingdom of Castile. As you asked, I'm powered by magic. The name of my research has been given to me as a magic doll.

It's a doll that's powered by magic, so it's a Magic DollHow ironic. Leia's face involuntarily broke into a small smile, but she quickly returned to a straight face. Regardless of the name, the being in front of her is nothing more than an artificial human being that was thought to be impossible to complete.

The Kingdom of Castile?

Rico tilted her head slightly.

I know! I ate that!

No, you didn't.

With a wry smile, Leia dismissed the idea with a single word.

Minerva was referring to a self-proclaimed cutting-edge sweet from the city of Ares. Satoru said it was a Castella, but it had a name like Castile. It's not hard to imagine that the name was borrowed from a country that existed in the past.

It was one of the countries that existed in the Ancient Magic Kingdoms. It is said to be one of the first countries to be destroyed during the Seven Days of Disaster.

The history of this area is not well documented. Even if you are not Rico, it's natural that you don't know about it. You need to be a student of something like imperialism to have knowledge of this area.

The Kingdom of Castile, registered as ruined.

A beautiful woman muttered inanely. Satoru glanced over at her. She had described herself as a doll. She certainly had that kind of look. The robots and androids that he had seen in manga and anime, to which the three principles of robotics were applied, looked like thisI think the assessment that they were artificial was correct.

However, even in modern Japan, the ancient magical kingdom that created an existence that existed only in the realm of fantasy seems to have undergone quite a tremendous technological development, even for Satoru. There is no inflection in her speech, and there is almost no expression of emotion, but even so, the way she moves and forms is very human.

Wow. So this thing was made by the Ancient Magic Kingdom.

Leia nodded yes to Rico's impressed voice. Leia put a small hand on her chin and pondered, then opened her mouth.

This is the next question. Are there any other individuals like you?

All of the test subjects before me have been destroyed and are not included in my data. However, if there are any test subjects after me, it may be possible.

I'd like to believe that there isn't anymore. ...... Next question. Can you use magic?

Hmm?Satoru looked at Leia. He didn't know the difference between sorcery and magic in detail, but he remembered hearing that they were different at the very beginning of his journey.

Yes, I can use all eight types of intermediate basic magic, arts, and mixed magic and sorcery up to the intermediate level listed in the magic catalog as of yeah 963 of the magic calendar.

Leia secretly shivered. It's a little different in its origins, and she can use magic that has died out in modern times, albeit only up to the intermediate levelAs I thought, the beautiful woman in front of me seemed to be one hell of a bomb. But fortunately.

The year 963 ...... This is the same year as the Seven Days of Disaster. So it's hard to imagine any other individuals after this one.

It's a relief to know that she is the only one who could upset the balance of the world.

However, Leia was also unsure of her decision. Without a doubt, her existence is something that should be kept secret. On a national level, she is definitely a weapon of mass destruction, and if she were to go to the Academy of the Wise, she would probably be kept as a research subject forever. Even though Yarth didn't exist in this labyrinth, Leia's not sure if it was a good idea for Satoru to have gotten his hands on her....

Can't you use the advanced level? For example, Transfer?

The advanced level has not been entered into my data. But the Transfer and Group Transfer that Leia mentioned have both been entered as intermediate mixed magic. So I can use them.

Is was true that the classifications are different between then and now......

However, even in the intermediate level, there are a number of widespread annihilation magicLeia's memory tells her that. Of course, the power and range of the art will vary depending on the amount of magic power.

It can be done later. Please write down the list of magic and sorcery you can use.

I'll need Master's permission for that.

The beautiful woman turned around and looked back at Satoru. As usual, the bottom half of her body is visible through the gap in her cloak, and Satoru has a hard time keeping his eyes on her.

Permission granted. Please cooperate with her

Certainly. Well then, I'll write it later.

Mm, please.

Leia nodded in satisfaction, and then narrowed her eyes. If my knowledge and intuition are correct, the individual in front of me is probably....

One last question for now. Are you living being?
