Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

What bad luck this time of year.

That was my honest feeling when I was given this assignment.

Hands down the mysterious monster that appeared in the Great Labyrinth of Ellow.

If you can't, wipe this out immediately.

That's the assignment I got this time.

What happened was that a request for assistance had been sent by the State of Oates, a small country with the entrance to the Great Labyrinth of Ellow.

The Elroe Great Labyrinth is almost the only way to get around connecting the continent to the continent.

Transition formations exist with exceptions, but they can only be used by key figures in the country or by the wealthy.

Otherwise, the general public and others hire professionals on that path known as labyrinth guides, who spend days passing the Great Labyrinth of Ellow.

Most of all, it is not a very common race to say that a man who deliberately tries to cross a dangerous Elroe labyrinth has to travel across continents, merchants who do business across continents, adventurers who remember his arms, and indeed continents.

However, a certain number of people use the Great Labyrinth to the extent that the profession of Conductor etc.

There was an anomaly in the Great Labyrinth of Ellow.

There are more demons out there than usual.

Naturally it was an unwelcome development for the people going through the Great Labyrinth.

But the Oates are a small country.

He only had a glass of force in his country's defense, and he was not manned enough to resolve the anomalies that had taken place in the labyrinth.

Saying, if you leave it like this, there is also a risk that demons overflowing from the labyrinth will vandalize the territory of the country of Oates.

The Oates have had no choice but to request support from our empire.

The Empire is happy with this.

The troops that had been dispatched near the border were immediately allowed into the country of Oates.

The troops dispatched were originally made by gathering three noble second sons, but those of strength are no different from the others.

In time they figured out the cause of the anomaly and thought they would return.

In fact, they found out the cause of the anomaly and returned.

But in a different way than expected.

Their squad fled.

From a mysterious spider-shaped demon.

According to the report, I felt so threatened that I had to be prepared for total annihilation just at first sight.

He said we should withdraw immediately and launch a special crusade force.

The report initially said, "What's stupid," and was laughed off.

However, detailed reports and testimonies from local informants gradually revealed the dangers of that demon.

Hazard A-rank at least.

It also reaches the worst S-rank.

If such a dangerous demon goes outside the labyrinth, the damage becomes immense.

But at the same time, strange rumors begin to circulate.

The Great Labyrinth of Ellow has spider demons that help people.

Local investigators immediately searched for the source of this rumor.

Then, a group of adventurers said, when they were being attacked by a monster called the dangerous El Lobaladorado in the upper layers of the Great Labyrinth, they recovered their wounded and dying companions after defeating the monster.

Such an idiot.

That was my feeling.

Being a demon, I intend to know more about demons than anyone else.

Demons are low in intelligence, but it doesn't mean they don't think at all.

but I've only heard of demons that act with a clear will, such as helping people, which is the highest ranking demon in the legendary class.

If the story is true, the spider demon will be a fairly wise, legendary class demon.

There's no way I can do that, like crusade for something like that.

But the fact that you helped people is maybe a friendly presence towards people.

If it works, can we even get a handful of it?

That's how the bowl turned to me.

I have no luck making it.

If that spider demon is a legendary class demon as rumored, the winner won't be the first.

Even if not, it is certain that it is a demon of the lowest A-rank.

It's pretty tough to get to grips with that.

A contract by the skill of discipline will either allow the demon to accept it or twist it down with strength before forcing it to.

We need to crush it once and for all with force, as demons rarely admit themselves to subordination.

It hurts A-rank demons to the point of inaction to keep them from dying.

I have to say to a painful opponent that even winning is tough.

Not to mention, this time the opponent has a lowest A-rank.

If it was more than that, it could even be difficult to win.

A careful response was needed.

Even so.

"Ha. Let this non explore the labyrinth at all. I'm not following you."

Next to me is the Empire's proud Great Wizard, Lord Ronant.

He is certainly a brilliant wizard, but he has difficulties with his character.

Anyway, run free and be selfish.

I offend the order disregard fine and swing around.

"Dear Ronanto. If your opponent is above the S-rank, they need a force like you. Please, be patient."

"I'll take it. Well, no matter what comes, you're safe. Stay on the big ship."

This person is usually casual and interesting, but I have trouble with that because it doesn't change even on the battlefield.

Still, its strength is real.

It is equipped with a certain strength, just called the best wizard of the people.

Thirty Imperial warriors, including me and Lord Ronant, are now organized into four guides.

I wanted the veteran to talk to me and give me guidance that I had served as a guide last time, if possible, but I was categorically refused.

I was wondering if I could go where that sucks.

Too bad, but I can't help it.

Instead, let's assume that even that conductor, who seems to be quite capable from what I've seen, has been informed that he is a demon to say so.

I'm not very happy with the information though.

Whatever it is, we start by discovering the demon.
