"... have you woken up? My comrade."

My consciousness, which rose from the bottom of the water, sounded like that.

I heard it in my ear, a sweet and suspicious voice.

But as a solemn, it sounded like God or Satan.

I am surprised, but my body is less free, so I slowly but surely open my eyes...

... dim, it was a view.

I feel a blameworthy claim that there is no place for you in the sun.

No.

How much anything is just paranoia.

Sure, I'm not that bad of an immortal.

I don't mean to be like that, like I can't face heaven.

But then what are we doing here?

That's what I thought. Again, I hear voices.

"Comrade, you're confused. But there's nothing to be anxious about. This is our new land of prosperity. If enjoyed correctly, its heart will surely be filled with joy and pleasure. Now open your heart, comrade..."

The voice was heard from behind.

And when I turn my body slowly towards you...

There, two figures stood.

One is a twin-tailed girl wearing a mask in the form of a masquerade, like a masquerade, with luxurious wings, covering only her eyes.

And the other is a silver-haired beautiful man, equally wearing a mask, who stands dressed to obey such a girl.

Both emitted an unusual atmosphere, and I couldn't help but think that they were obviously the ones who had to be people.

... or...

"... dude. I wonder what the hell this is... you guys would be Laura and Isaac"

Yes, I looked familiar to those two.

Standing, atmosphere, presence, whichever you take, you can't go wrong.

If you're a man, well, maybe there's a similar being out there somewhere, I think.

But as for the girl......

Until then if you don't notice, but if you do, you feel so intensely oppressed that you're about to tremble.

It will be that I learned as much about the feeling, at best, but as much as I did when I met Dragon.

Such a presence makes it difficult for you to stay around Pompong.

I mean, surely the girl there is Laura, and all I can think of is Isaac, such as a beautiful man who follows her in silence.

Girl tells me you made that point.

"... I don't know what you mean... I don't know anything about a pretty girl who says," Laura, "

And so on and so on and so on.

But a pretty girl.

Sure, she was a beautiful girl, but you tell her yourself?

"... So, who is it?

In the meantime, I'll give you an excuse, Laura says.

"It's Queen Queen, one of the Four Heavenly Kings in The Labyrinth of the Dead. Hey? Iser... wasn't it, Butler?

"Yes, sir."

Isaac nods to it in silence and answers.

Whatever you look at it, it's Laura and Isaac, but that seems to push them off.

... Well, that would be nice.

Let's leave that alone.

More than that.

"... wasn't Laura asleep now, by and large? Why are you awake? In the first place, if you're awake, I'd like to ask you a lot..."

I started talking about bumps and that to me, Laura... not Queen,

"... Shh. A beautiful girl named Laura is still asleep. But he thinks he's just free to sleep. So, hey, just do this for your spare time... well, think of this as a dream. It doesn't have any effect on reality, it's a dream."

"... dreams? This is it?"

I feel quite a bit textured for it... well, I guess this way of saying it doesn't mean you're willing to answer me no matter what I hear.

In the first place, it's me who doesn't feel compelled to ask her something.

Even Isaac has no chance of winning, so there is no other way to follow.

I give up and ask.

"... well, that would be nice. But tell me what the hell you want... what did you expect me to call you here? In the first place, where are we? I was just telling you about the labyrinth of the dead..."

"Oh, right. This is one of the labyrinths I hold, and I didn't have a particular name...... today is Day of the Dead. So I thought I'd play here for a second. The name was finally decided today by the Labyrinth of the Dead. So far, are you sure?

"... it's called Day of the Dead in the first place."

"It's an anniversary in a distant country. We're immortal, but we can also say we're already dead, so I mean dead. I was wondering if we could all do something interesting."

"... well. If you ask me... are we all immortals here?"

Laura, Isaac, and me.

All three are immortals.

It's just...

"Some guys aren't here, are they?

"Yeah, I'm going to call you, but before I do, I need to talk to you for a second..."

So Laura explained to me the outline of this project.

... what are you doing, this guy, I really thought, but I don't know if I'm free to just sleep.

Out of sympathy, but for now, it was me who decided to cooperate.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Summon" IN WALKERTIO "!!

A huge magic formation appears in front of you.

It was not Laura... but Queen.

I feel mighty magical like an asshole.

It's a magic that could wipe out as much as a malt if you care about it.

In the first place, a subpoena... that's metamagic, right?

Why can I use it?

If you go in, you lose......

Before I think about things, and a certain person shows up.

He showed up in his pajamas, holding a pillow, on top of the magic formation.

It is a fancy waterball pajama.

I sleep sooo comfortably...

Even though he was suddenly called to an unexplained place, he didn't look awake.

I saw that, Isaac... not Butler, the butler, leaning in my ear and saying.

"... Queen Queen tells you to wake the girl there. Infantry" Pawn, "please..."

The name of the Four Heavens King must be appropriate, but I seem to be a part of it.

And I got two names for the infantry "Pawn".

... I don't feel more like the name of the abandoned pawn than the Four Heavens King.

Well, I think it fits. While I am.

By the way, the last of the Four Heavens is my demon, Adele.

I just got summoned.

Two names are prank rats (Picaro Mouse).

... It's a more luxurious and attentive name than I am, what is it?

I don't think it's a bad deal, but, well, I can't help it.

For now, I approached the girl and swayed.

"... Hey, get up"

"Ugh, um...... I can't eat anymore! No, I'll eat..."

Do you want to eat?

It wasn't.

"Get up. Here..."

When I was shaking my guts, I finally seemed to realize,

"... oh... um... uh... hmm? Mr. Lent?"

I heard that voice.

"Oh yes... it wasn't, I'm the" Labyrinth of the Dead "Four Heavenly Kings, the infantry" Pawn ". Don't get me wrong."

When he tries to snort quickly, the queen and butler, Butler, stare at him and make a hasty correction.

The girl is scrubbing her eyes strangely, but she doesn't reveal who she is.

... No matter how you look at it, it's obvious...

"Well, you're awake. Our messenger. Lina Luperge."

Yes, it was Lina who was summoned.

She's dead, too.

Suitable for the day of the dead...... maybe.

"... Huh? Huh? Oh, isn't that Mr. Laura? And, Mr. Isaac...?

"... Queen Queen and Butler. Don't get me wrong."

Queen Queen says so harshly, but Lina was leaning her neck.

I had no choice, and the queen walks up to Lina and crushes something in her ear.

Then Lina shuddered,

"… K, Queen and Butler, and Infantry Pawn and Prank Mouse (Picaro Mouse), can I help you...?

I've been asking.

What the hell did you say... was strange, but without touching it there, the queen "Queen" tells Lina.

"Nothing else I called here. I wanted you to manage this labyrinth, The Labyrinth of the Dead. The goal is to achieve a thousand kills of Adventurers in this Labyrinth."

... was a rather disturbing suggestion.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Shh, a thousand kills......? What Kill?"

"To kill."

The Queen's answer was no body or lid.

No, it's a labyrinth, so killing the adventurer who came in may be the ultimate goal, but me and Lina are good people.

I don't have to wonder if that's okay.

But Queen says.

"... well. Don't worry too much about guilt or anything. This labyrinth is so special that even if you die here, you will return to the entrance of the labyrinth."

Is that true?

I'd love to hear that, but it's probably true.

Earlier, I'm not human, but experimenting with little demons to confirm it.

Lina also suspects, but

"That's the dream. If it's not a dream, isn't it strange to have you here?

Queen Queen pushed it off that way.

Or there was some sign of witchcraft.

It won't be my fault that Lina's eyes got a moment like she was brainwashed when she wandered.

Now she doesn't care about that anymore...... Nanbu.

Maybe I'm in the same situation, by the way.

Kind of oddly thin of an aversion to that......

Well, either way, it's just a dream.

You won't have a choice if you care.

If you wake up, yes, back to normal......

"Yes, I understand...... so, I would say managing the labyrinth, but what exactly would you do?

Lina has asked, so the queen, Queen, answers.

"Mainly, it's some sort of reconfiguration of the demonic placement and the entire labyrinth. It includes installing traps, so try everything. Incidentally, there is a city close in size to the city Malt nearby. It's not the kingdom of Yarlan, so there's no problem with how flashy we are here."

Disturbing...... too disturbing.

But when we get here, we'll have nothing else to do.

Did Lina feel the same way, or as a result of some weird brainwashing?

"Yes! I get it. I'll do my best!

I said well.

...... I wonder if it's okay.
