Isekai Taneuma

Although it was good to capture the rioting Jeanne, the venue quietly retreated. The three who recovered me remembered their shameful appearance, which they had now softened, and they were lightly depressed. All three of them were unable to see the other person's face, and were facing the day after tomorrow and were hanging down, as if they were staying up all night.

Of that, only Feng was relatively healthy, probably because he was always soft. He squeezed her clothes with Jeanne's saliva and just grabbed Mary and asked Leonardo, who was tired and tight.

"Grandpa, we were supposed to be in the labyrinth, but then we realized this was happening outside. What happened in the last few moments?

"I know most of you predict, but you're not in the labyrinth. Rather, he came out the minute he came in. You see the entrance to the labyrinth over there, don't you?

Feng nodded. It is a small gate, about the size of a statue pedestal, that we entered just now, only two meters square at most.

"I thought you guys had gone inside through that dark entrance, and you just passed through and came out the other side. When I checked, there was no hole in the other side, so I was surprised... I couldn't say that right away."

Feng and the others who came out did not respond even when they spoke, and initially had a slutty expression, but gradually began to take strange actions of the Quartet. It was not easy to stop them from brawling, and after leaving them for a while until they were tired, they hit Feng's head, which was relatively good, and returned to sanity.

"As I explained before entering, the Labyrinth is a product of the spiritual world. Therefore, it is superior to mental attacks rather than physical attacks. Probably got something like a psychological attack the moment he got inside.

"Maybe so. As a matter of fact, the moment I came in, I couldn't see the other three and was in a hurry. After that, I saw something that only I knew, and I thought it was strange... but I've been hallucinating for a long time."

"Leo... you let us go because you knew this was gonna happen?

At last, Guillaume, who has begun to recover, said with accusation. Leonardo laughed bitterly and did not feel bad.

"I told you, you couldn't have stopped them. Besides, it's true that we don't know what's going on in the labyrinth until we get inside. Didn't I tell you that the Labyrinth is the qualia of the person who was active in life?

"Ahh... is that it?

"In other words, the labyrinth has character. Nobody wants to peek inside their own heart, right? Therefore, the Labyrinth basically does not have a defensive function that seeks to drive out those who slightly enter it."

I see, it's like an AT field.

Leonardo was twisting his neck, but Jeanne nodded many times.

"Anyway, breaking it doesn't mean attacking the labyrinth. You don't know what the Lord of the Labyrinth thinks unless you actually go inside. Like this time, some will try to kick out without asking questions, while others will give you a challenge. In some cases, you may or may not know what you are actively entering."

"Do you think there are evil spirits like that?

"Let me think about it. The Labyrinth was active in life... that is, it is the memory of a man who lived hard. If such a person dies leaving untouched, he or she may die and still try to fulfill it. Then the Labyrinth becomes a Trojan horse to take over and manipulate the spirit of what comes in."

Guillaume, who was listening to the story, once again raised his voice of anger.

"Leo, fuck! If it were here, what would have happened to us now!

But the old man shook his head.

"No, the boulders don't go that far. I knew it wasn't possible, so I let you go. Otherwise, at least Mary would have stopped."

"... how can you say that?

"This is not an undiscovered labyrinth. The Gargantuar villagers must have visited many times before. If those villagers come here and discover this entrance, they won't be able to leave without doing anything. Someone must have come in. And you must have just experienced it. I suppose that's why they called this place the shrine of God."

I see... Feng was strangely convinced. At the same time, however, questions arise.

"But then, why did they find this place? This is too far from the village of Gargantuar. Besides, it's like the wilderness of death, too far from home. It would be too much if I found it by accident."

"Indeed. If someone doesn't tell us, we'll never get there... don't you know what the mani is?

Until then, Mani, who was watching the interaction between Bo and Feng, suddenly became chattered.

"Yeah, I don't know at all. I've never been out of the village, and I'm not a sherman like an elder."

"But you're the chief's son, right? I wonder if you've ever heard anything like that."

"... hmm... no, not at all. I don't talk much with chiefs."

It seems like I've heard something I shouldn't have heard much about. Feng was also bad at his father, so I felt like I understood his feelings. With the intention of changing the subject while thinking that he had done something bad, he put his mind to it.

"Well, I don't see that mark."

"... eh?

"Look, that mark the Elder drew for me. We've traveled all the way to where it was painted, haven't we? And I don't see any of those marks here. Even though the rock like Stonehenge looks like it, it doesn't even show signs of something engraved."

Guillaume, who reacted to Feng's words, stood up and looked around the rocks that had been built many times. He shrugged his shoulders after examining the last one.

"I'm sure he's right. What was that mark after all? Any sign of Gargantuar's village?

"I've never seen it before....."

"Maybe you went the wrong way? Maybe the Elder's map is somewhere else."

Feng shook his head and denied Guillaume's words.

"No, there's no doubt about it. That mushroom is growing."

"Just because it's similar, is it possible that another mushroom...? I don't see why you're wrong."

"Ugh... are you sure that's the mushroom? I'm still sick and dying....."

When I talked about mushrooms, Mary turned pale and sandwiched her mouth. When she entered the labyrinth and was confused, she ate the mushrooms that were growing around her, but she still suffered after returning to me. Apparently, the mushroom's MP recovery is too high, making it look like a light overdose.

A priest is immortal and never sick. I know that the mushroom is not just a mushroom because the priest is sick.

"... in fact, I don't really understand either. Most other plants don't respond to my skill book Museum Atlas."

"Ah? Is it okay to put that in your mouth?

"The elders were eating normally, and it's just a suspicious taste of efficacy....."

"I don't say 'just'."

Guillaume is blurry without saying that she was stunned. Feng listened to it,

"When I settled down, I was going to analyze the ingredients... but it's not really just a mushroom that affects Mary. It's grown somewhere in the labyrinth, so it seems to have something to do with the labyrinth... so I was shown the future by the Spirit when I ate it before. Maybe this shrine has something to do with the Spirit?

Feng remembered and said to Leonardo.

"Hey, Grandpa. For example, like the symbol mark of the zodiac 12 constellation, is there no symbol in the spirits? In this world, spirits are subject to faith, right? Anyway, I think there's something going on."

But the old man shook his head.

"Nothing. What you're trying to say is that the symbol you found before you came here isn't used as a spiritual or religious symbol. Certainly some sects use symbols, but at least I've never seen anything like it."

"Really? Ah... well, I guess we're done now."

Feng raised his hand and indicated his intention to surrender, and likewise Guillaume, who surrendered, shook his head with his arms. Jeanne and Mary are no longer interested in the labyrinth. Leonardo watched the young people do that.

"Hmm... there's nothing I can do about it, so I guess I'll have to come back. I'm not going anywhere. I'm waiting for Philip and the others at the camp."

"Are you sure? The Labyrinth is fast, isn't it? Somebody might attack here after we get back."

"If so, why don't you come in again and check on the inside...?

Guillaume shook his neck for a joke. Leonardo looked at it and thought it was funny.

"Fufufu! I understand your impatience, but I can't help it at the moment. Anyway, in a labyrinth like this, where you can drive people back without asking questions, even if other people come, you can't do anything like that. Then it would be better to start over and look into the city."

"... I see. But how the hell can we attack? Maybe there are labyrinths in the world that you can never attack."

"No, any labyrinth must have a thread of strategy. Human beings, on the other hand, are extremely reluctant to be peeked at, and at the same time have a desire to understand. If you don't feel that way, you can't leave a labyrinth behind."

Well, maybe so.

"Therefore, there is a pattern even if there is no need to ask questions of this hand. For example, if the Lord of the Labyrinth wants to inherit qualia from his descendants... in this case, the entrance may be opened in such a way that the descendants come directly or bring the figurines.

Otherwise, if the Lord of the Labyrinth wants to inherit someone of his own character… For example, an artist like James wants to entrust his will to a colleague or apprentice who has suffered more than a descendant who is not interested in his work. This is the pattern of the labyrinth that gave me ancient spells.

Later, it is simply that the owner of the living knows what the labyrinth is, and sometimes it gives a test as a postmortem pleasure. Adventurers and explorers want to show their adventures to the attackers in the form of dungeons. Because people have a desire to share their achievements with future generations. "

"Hmm... at the end of the day, don't you want to put it in normally without any special conditions?

When Feng questioned it, Leonardo laughed bitterly.

I see. So this labyrinth isn't supposed to be that pattern. And the fact that there are four people in there, and they don't all come together at all, is probably the pattern of waiting for their offspring. "

"I see... hmm?

Feng pinned his words,

"Hey, in that case, you need to bring your descendants and shapes, right? Could that mark be the hint? For example, whether there is a family line with that mark as a family crest, or whether it is engraved in a family treasure that has been passed on to a family for generations."

"Hmm... maybe that's true. Once we arrive at the Mansion of the Warrior's Warrior, we should check it out. Also, I'd like to explore Gargantuar's village... manicure. If I have to go home soon, will you ask me to?"

"Okay."

In the first place, I came here because the Elder asked me to get mushrooms. We'll have to go back to the village soon to hand over the mushrooms.

With this, Feng decided to finish their exploration and return to the camp. Since there was an unexpected harvest to discover the Labyrinth as well as the mushrooms of interest, it would be better to go home and let the Guild Chiefs know. Maybe Lucy wants to see the labyrinth.

Then it is not bad to throw him inside without saying anything. I'm sure you'll be able to see such an embarrassing sight, cumming... and so on, but I quickly came back close to the campsite.

It's not like Feng was obsessed with thinking. Simply because, unlike going, I'm not looking for anything to return to, so if I go straight home without stopping by, I'll be back as soon as I can. I was supposed to be exploring for quite some time, but I was thinking it was so close...

"Hey... everyone stop. Be quiet....."

Suddenly, Guillaume, who was walking in front of him, stopped and waved his hand behind his back in an attempt to silence the phoenixes that followed. He complained with tears as his hand happened to hit Feng's face, and his nose was slapped with his butt.

"What the hell!"

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Guillaume did not listen to Feng's protest, and when he put the party on the spot, he moved to hide in the shadow of the rock ahead while lowering his posture, and looked towards the campsite. When he did such a thing, he first noticed an ambush.

As soon as he came back from watching the campsite, he pointed in that direction, which was still invisible from where the Phoenix were.

"There were a couple of strange men wandering around our luggage... just like the bandits I saw. I didn't see the Guild Leaders."

"Did you get caught?

"I don't know. Either way, I have to reclaim my luggage. I'm going to ambush you."

Feng and his men set up their weapons, headed by Jeanne, the Special Attacker, to surround the camp.
