Foreigner's Mistake

Book 5: Chapter 55: Labyrinth ~ 13

Book 5: Chapter 55: Labyrinth ~ 13

Let's go back in time just a little bit.

On the 20th layer of the Labyrinth of No Return, there was a group of five adventurers.

All of them looked young, but their equipment seemed to be well used. The fact that they were able to reach this labyrinth in the first place and descend to the 20th layer was proof of their considerable skill. This labyrinth is not so easy to penetrate that mere luck will allow you to get this far.

And the party was in the midst of battle.

The swordsman's slash finally caught the monitor lizard's neck. The lizard, which was spurting blood and screaming as it thrashed about, was held down with all its might, and the swordsman flashed his sword several times.

Hush!

The swordsman flipped his wrist and drew his sword. He knew from experience that if he didn't, he would get in the way of his companion's attack. The moment he quickly retreated, the heavy blow of the halberd struck the monitor lizard's brain, just as the swordsman had predicted.

Syahhhh!

The brain of the monitor lizard was crushed with a crunching sound. As you can imagine, even a monitor lizard with a reputation for toughness is no match for resistance when its head is crushed. It twitched twice and stopped its vital activity. The swordsman, who gave an unintentional shout of joy, looked back at his companions and slumped his shoulders. He realized that the two magicians were not looking at him.

...... Hey, you didn't see the activity over here, did you?

A swordmans's man, grumbles unintentionally. However, the gaze of one of the magicians, an elven girl in a long robe, wanders somewhat listlessly.

Somehow, the atmosphere of the labyrinth seems to have changed. ......

The man in the thick leather armor looked back at his surroundings as he was told. Indeed, if you ask him, the overwhelming sense of intimidation that had covered him up until now seemed to have faded somehow. There is only one possibility for that to happen.

...... Don't tell me, the labyrinth has been conquered?

No way, man. This is the Labyrinth of No Return, remember? It's the third of the ten labyrinths in this world that have yet to be conquered, you know?

The swordsman raised a confused voice at the sound of the elf girl's voice. If you are a well-known adventurer, you know that this labyrinth is one of the most difficult labyrinths in the world to conquer. The record so far is 67 floors, with the bitter result that half of the party members who entered lost their lives there. Of those who survived, one is still famous as the High Mentor of the Academy of the Wise. In other words, it is a labyrinth of such high difficulty that it is hard to believe that it is the third most difficult labyrinth to break through, even with the world's best magicians. It was hard to believe that such a labyrinth had been conquered.

However, the members of the party knew that the elf girl's sensing ability was quite high and that she had saved the members from many dangers in the past. So, even though her words were unbelievable, there was a little doubt about her words.

H-Hold on a minute. ...... Detect Magic.

A young man in a long, dull robe waved a wand and performed magic. The scene that dwelt in his mind, and the fact that he learned.

...... magic power is dissipating. This labyrinth has been conquered. ......

A murmur spread through the air.

For reals!? Who the hell accomplished such a feat?`

How should I know. There's going to be a prize giving in Ares or something, we'll find out then.

The small but stocky dwarf man who had dealt the blow to the monitor lizard wiped the blood from his halberd and replied in all seriousness. He has a long beard and looks very old, but in fact he was not yet 30 years old in human terms.

Oh, that remind me, at the fort, you said that the Golden Eagle was in this labyrinth.

The man in leather armor gave the name of an influential party of adventurers from Fort Dalewood, where most parties stop when entering this labyrinth. But the man in the long coat shook his head left and right.

They're strong, but they're probably only can go to layer 40.

Adventurers can't do business unless they know exactly what they're capable of. Knowing exactly how strong your opponent is is also a weapon. He know that there is a group of mid to high level adventurers called the Golden Eagle, and he have a pretty good idea of their abilities. It was hard to believe that they had the talent to break through the labyrinth.

So, what to do?

For now, let's just blow the whistle.

Two whistles are given to adventurers who challenge the Labyrinth of No Return through Fort Dalewood. One is played when the party is about to be annihilated, and the other is played when the party learns that the labyrinth has been conquered. Of course, the latter whistle has never been blown before.

Oh ......, I heard the sound of another whistle. The other parties that have entered here are also blowing the disintegration whistle.

Then we're sure. Okay? I'm gonna blow it

The elf girl quickly covered her ears, for if someone were to blow the wistle at such close range, her own ears would be destroyed. The man in leather armor blows his wistle as hard as he can, making sure that the elf girl covers her ears. The elven girl frowns as she hears the high-pitched sound, but the other members of the group remain calm. The unique high frequency sound could only be heard by the elves and some of the beast tribes.

That's it, then. So, what are we going to do after this?

All eyes turned to the swordsman, who was probably the leader of the party. The young swordsman cowered his shoulders.

We've finally made it to the 20th layer. There is a possibility that the magic power has dissipated and the monsters are weakened now. Then, a little more.

So far, their earnings have been about the same. They decided that they could afford to make a little more, and decided to continue their search - but their search soon stopped.

The man in leather armor who had been leading the way and keeping an eye on the surroundings suddenly stopped moving. Don The swordsman bumped into something and the man in leather armor looked at it with a grimace on his face. The man's face had turned a deep blue.

O-Oi, what's wrong?

At the tip of the corner, the man in leather armor pointed. The swordsman and the dwarf man who had looked in with him both exclaimed as they peered at the tip.

...... What the hell is this?

What was lying there was the corpse of a monsters, probably thirty to forty of them. If it was a single monster, these party members could handle it, but if it was a group of Chimera Lion, a rank monster that would immediately make a these party U-turn.

The carcass of the Chimera Lion ......? And in such large numbers?

Each corpse seems to have been killed by a single blow. The Chimera Lions had sharp scars on them that they couldn't have done themselves. Some of them were even cut in half. Everyone in the party was horrified by the power of someone who killed the Chimera Lion.

........What kind of people could have killed that many Chimera Lions?

It is a difficult enemy, protected by a thick skin, with its ferociousness and agility, claws and fangs, and strong physical attacks. A certain level of skill is required to fight them. Even advanced adventurers usually try to avoid fighting them if they are in such a large group.

Despite the difficulty of the enemy, the number of corpses lying here was extraordinary.

The man in leather armor, who had regained his composure, carefully crouched down and inspected the corpse.

As expected, all the fangs were gone, but the skin is still usable. It's a lot of money for the skin of that many Chimera Lions.

There was a shout of "Ohhh!" The leather of the Chimera lion is prized for its toughness, and is used to make high quality leather armor. The skin of a single lion, tanned as it is, is a symbol of status among the nobility. There are probably two or three skins of whole animals that have been ripped open and are dying.

The people who conquered this labyrinth must have done it.

Probably. But still, it's a tremendous ......

Although some of them have been torn to shreds by wind magic, making them useless, but what you can see from their lacerations is the viciousness of the magic. In this party, the elf woman is almost skilled as the advanced level of wind users, but even so, if she wanted to use magic to get this many scars, she would have to use all her magic power. Even so, she is not confident that she can control such a large number.

Let's just consider ourselves lucky. After stripping off as much as we can, let's go outside.

The man in the leather armor peeled off the skin with a familiar hand, in awe of the ability of the unseen conqueror of the labyrinth. The sound of the disintegration wistle could be heard in the distance again.

The smoke of an encampment is rising in a canyon a short distance from the entrance to the Labyrinth of No Return. There are five people there - one man and four women, an oddly balanced group. It goes without saying that they are Satoru and his companions

Danna-sama, can I go find some food?

Minerva, who had finished preparing the bed, looked up quickly. Before Satoru could answer, Rico stopped cooking.

Ah, Minerva. Even if you go, don't go to the west ...... let's see, where the sun is setting, okay?

Why?

Minerva tilted her head as she took off her clothes. Rico gave her a soft smile.

There's a fort over there. We don't want you to be seen too much.

Ah, that's right.

Minerva nodded as if she remembered. When she went to look for food, Minerva would be in her flying dragon form. It was a promise she had made throughout their travels that she should avoid being seen in this state. After nodding repeatedly, Minerva spun around and looked back at Satoru.

Ready?

Be careful. It's getting darker than usual, so don't be too late.

'Kay!

Minerva takes off her clothes and Remove Spell her Mimicry. Her white arms quickly turn into large wings, and she becomes a giant flying dragon with indigo skin. Minerva roared happily at the sight of her original form after a long time, and with a flutter of her wings, she flew into the sky.

Solor watched in silence. After confirming that Minerva had flown away, Solor turned to Satoru.

Master, Minerva-sama is a flying dragon, is that right?

That's right. Her previous appearance was due to Mimicry

He doesn't think there's any need to confirm this, but at least Satoru gave Solor a proper supplement. She's not a full-blown electrical brain, but she has the ability to accept some fuzziness. A normal electrical brain in modern Japan would not be able to accept Minerva's current Mimicry art.

Then Satoru remembered a possibility.

......Oh, that's right, Solor.

Yes, what is it?

Isn't there anything in your memory about Ryujin?

He doesn't know how much of Solor's data has been covered. It seems that only social common sense and magic are entered, but Solor shakes her head to the left and right, shattering the faint hope that there might be some.

My apologies, Master. There's no information about Ryujin (it).

I see, that's shame.

Hmm, I see. I guess we'll not do it today then.

Eh?

Rico was surprised to see Satoru lying down as quickly as he said it. Suddenly, she felt a gaze coming from another direction - it was Leia. She can tell from the atmosphere that she is quietly angry. The way she was acting, as if to say, "Who are you, for refusing my Lord's call?" Rico felt as if she had unknowingly stepped on the tiger's tail. Rico hurried to get closer to Satoru.

Umm ...... umm ......, Sa-Satoru?

Hmm?

Satoru is lying down with his back to Rico, and she can feel a hint of anger in his voice. She hadn't done anything to anger Satoru in a while, but the feeling that it had been a long time since she had done something like that hit her.

Are you angry ...... by any chance?

Why? Did you do something to make me angry?

Satoru's attitude, as if to say, "I'm going to sleep sulking (?)," made Rico realize her mistake. It is not right for a magical slave to refuse their Lord's invitation to a night time.

A-About you inviting me to have sex, umm..........I'm sorry

Sorry for what?

The tone of Satoru's voice had a hint of invective. Rico calmly reflected on her words and actions.

I was a little sulky .......maybe

Maybe, right?

Finally, Satoru half-raised his head and turned to look at Rico. Satoru was mildly annoyed at the fact that Rico had sulked, even though there was no reason for her to sulk at all. Since he had quoted Solor, he could imagine why Rico had sulked.

It's not that I don't want to hold a woman every day. You don't have to worry about it.

The words were gentle, but the emotion contained in them was not. After so much physical contact and conversation, Riko can now read the subtleties of Satoru's mind. Looking aside at SolorThe beautiful woman, who was filled with the best of the Ancient Magic Kingdom's technology, was silently looking at Rico without changing her expression. Rico's heart ached with a prickling.

Be-Because ...... Solor, she is very beautiful and ...... she have big breasts.

As she said this, Rico gradually turned her head down and became smaller. Thinking of all the beautiful women around Satoru, her own good looks seemed to be nothing more than a speck of dust. The reason is simple.

And I have this skin color.

Rico disliked her light brown skin. Her younger brother, Kai, had a similar skin color, but his skin was a little lighter. It was a color found in the tribes on the outskirts of the south, but not in large proportions. Some of them are said to have almost completely black skin, but they do not appear on the stage as much. The color of her skin was a factor in her disdain. Rico felt that the stares she received in the city of Ares were also filled with a certain amount of contempt.

Satoru sighed to Rico, who was slowly shrinking. He lightly struck Rico's head with his fist.

Ouch!

Rico looked up at her Lord with tears in her eyes at the unexpected pain, and felt a thin chill in his eyes at Satoru's expression. He had been quietly angry earlier, but now Rico could see that he was clearly angry.

Hey, Rico. Have I ever said anything to you that I didn't like you?

......no

No need to think back. Satoru has a tendency to be direct in his words and actions, but he has never said anything obviously negative, not even to Rico.

Did I ever say anything about the color of your skin, or the size of your breasts?

Rico shook her head.

Maybe you don't like it, you're the one who thinks so. Or more specifically, you're the only one in this group who does.

B-Because Leia and Minerva are both beautiful. ......

Rico looked at Leia, Solor, and then Minerva in flying dragon form, who was curled up but only raised her face. Minerva's skin color in her human form is similar to Satoru's, while Solor's is as white as wet, and Leia's has the unique pallor of the Immortal Family. Each of them is a pale skin color that Rico could never get even if she wanted to.

Rico, you needs to be a little more confident.

Satoru scratched his head and sighed heavily. Of all the people in the group, Rico had the least self-confidence. She tends to belittle herself at every turn. It is true that her soul is low in this group, and while this is somewhat unavoidable considering her upbringing and environment, it is still a bit unreasonable.

However, Rico is not so useless that she despises herself. She is not inferior to the other three in terms of appearance. Satoru also liked the healthy color of Rico's skin.

You don't remember what I said when I held Leia in the labyrinth?

......Ah

Rico let out a low voice. She remembered that when she had ordered by Leia to have a night fair in the labyrinth, she had been ridiculed for where Satoru was a lord, and that he had been served by three beautiful women of different types, and that he had also been mistaken. At that time, Rico had been so happy to be counted among the beauties that she had flinched in embarrassment.

While gently placing his hand on Rico's cheek, Satoru gave her a stern look.

You are definitely beautiful and pretty. When you were in Galhassan, didn't they tell you that you could make more money if you were a prostitute instead of a pickpocket?

...... I was told that many times.

Rico had never listened to the idea of becoming a prostitute because she had an aversion to selling her body. She thought that the guild members were just trying to scare her, but it was true that she had been told that at every turn.

Of course, Rico had been in the backstabbing business for a long time, so she knew that there were many ways for a prostitute to make money. But still, there is nothing better than looking good.

Right. And by the way, I'm not hungry enough to want to hold a woman I'm not interested in under these circumstances.

If we're talking about whether or not he want to do it, Satoru wanted to do it too, so he asked Rico. But if the other party is not interested, he doesn't want to force it. If Rico was simply not interested, he wasn't going to force her to do anything - although Leia might be annoyed.

However, this is not the case this time. It would be meaningless if he didn't get rid of the negative feelings in Rico.

I don't know if you're jealous of the fact that you never got to fight in the labyrinth, but I've been saying that a lot about how you were a big help to me.

...... yes.

Aside from Satoru himself, Rico was the most important player in the labyrinth. She saw through many traps, discovered hidden doors, and was always the first to find the monsters. Without Rico, the labyrinth would not have been so easy to conquer. He told her about it in the labyrinth, but she didn't seem to take it seriously.

I went through this labyrinth for my own purposes. Well, for all intents and purposes, it was a mistake, but you were the most useful one.

Satoru told Rico clearly. Rico looked around in confusion - Leia, of course, and even Minerva nodded. Of course, Satoru's violent power was the reason for this, but the role that Rico played was not small.

You should more confident, and you should be more proud of yourself. If you don't have that confident, I'll throw you out.

I-I don't want to!

Immediately, Rico's face turned bright red and he shook her head violently from side to side. It sounded like a threat, but Satoru didn't mean it as a joke. If Rico dislikes herself because she sees it as a threat, that could be a good reason for her to leave.

Rico looks down and peers into Satoru's face. Satoru's expression is that of seriousness.

Satoru knows that even if she is told not to be so backward, she will not change immediately. However, it would be good if it could trigger a change in Rico's thinking. At the moment, Rico may still be completely dependent on Satoru to establish herself, but when she becomes more confident in herself, she will be able to leave Satoru's side.

...... I'm sorry, Satoru.

With a downcast look on her face, Rico bowed her head to Satoru. She didn't completely understand Satoru's intentions, but she did understand that she had been sulking out of jealousy.

If you understand, then fine.

It's not in his taste to complain too much, so Satoru sniffed and swept away his sorrows, and then lay back down.

When Satoru turned his back on her again, Rico was lost. If this were to happen, Satoru would never ask Rico out. After this, Leia will probably give her a lecture - and it's all my fault. If I've done something wrong, what should I do about it?

Umm, Satoru.

Hmm?

Over his back, Satoru asked back without looking back. After hesitating a few times, Rico opened her mouth with determination.

Will you punish me? I'm an idiot, so in order not to make the same mistake again, I want my master, Satoru, to punish me in some way.

Punishment?...... Punishment, huh?

Satoru raised himself up again and looked back at Rico. Rico sat down on the spot and waited patiently for the words of her beloved lord.

A beautiful girl with pale brown skin who wants to be punished. She was bigger than Leia, but still thin and small. Although she is small, she is probably the average height of women in this world, but Satoru is afraid that a bad punishment might destroy the girl. She is probably the most sensitive, including her heart.

Satoru was about to think that it would be easy for him not have sex with her up at night for a while, but then he thought better of it. If he doesn't hold Rico for a while, she might lose her confidence in as a woman.

That's why you should dig up her anus.

The voice came from the outside. Leia had been anally humiliated as a punishment in the past. She suggested that Satoru should apply that to Rico, but Satoru looked at her a little reluctantly.

Hmmm ...... I'm afraid I'm going to break her.

Recently, Rico had been getting her anus teased a lot, but Satoru thought it would take a long time for her to get used to it. Satoru was worried that he might break Rico if he went to anal torture without any special training. Rico was waiting for Satoru's pronouncement without any hesitation. She looks like she's ready for it.

If you break her, I'll use Heal on her. Rico won't be convinced unless it's destroyed once.

That's easy for you to say, Satoru thought with a sigh. It may be okay for the one being destroyed, but the one doing the destroying will also suffer a bit of heartbreak. Rico was the most affected by the effects of Satoru's unconscious Lust, but Satoru didn't want to have sex with someone he feared might destroy them.

But

Rico?

Yes

...... Prepare yourself. I will use your anus.

Rico was not surprised, but rather nodded her head in agreement. Her expression was full of determination.

Yes. Please give me a spanking for being a bad girl.
