"... I'm finally home. I wasn't supposed to stay that long in the Wang capital, but it's kind of been quite a while since I've felt that way."

I grumbled about that around Lorraine seeing the main entrance to the city malt across the front.

I do feel that way, too.

After all, I guess it's because Malt has the perception that it's his home town or his home town.

Technically, my hometown is Hathhaler, and that in Lorraine is somewhere in the Realmud Empire. I don't know, but it's still Malt whose foundation for life is laid.

Perhaps it is only natural to remember this much nostalgia just to leave.

"Wouldn't we all change...? Well, wouldn't that make a big difference?"

When I whine somehow, Lorraine says,

"That's right. If you were away for a year or two, someone I know had a child, maybe something, but nothing will change in less than a month. Well, there may be a change in that sense because the Tower and College will be working vigorously..."

The Tower is a national magic research institution and the College is a national educational institution.

It is found in various countries, and official names differ from one another, but it is called that way as a common name.

Because it is essential for any country to be an institution that educates the people who are pulling the country and also researches witchcraft.

Many people seconded by those two institutions are now staying in Malt.

The reason for this is that the Labyrinth, which was to emerge during earlier vampire vampire "vampire" disturbances, exists in the basement of Mult.

The Labyrinth is a kind of mine in which various demons emerge but many treasures and materials can be acquired, but how it was created is still a mystery that no one can unequivocally affirm.

Some parts of the labyrinth can only be seen as artifacts like stone wall passages, while others, even though they are inside buildings, have huge spaces shaped as if they were outside, and that's what I can only say God created.

For this reason, various doctrines are complex, the research of which has been carried out in many countries, research institutes, but still no one has arrived at the truth.

In the meantime, it is the Labyrinth that suddenly appeared in Malt.

The Labyrinth, which has not been around long since its emergence, is quite unusual in the world, and it is difficult to be present in such a place inside, and is therefore definitely a subject that, from such a research institute, the more hands you want to investigate out of your throat.

That is why a large number of people pushed against Marto from the Tower and the College, and no matter what, Marto is in a state of being half occupied by them.

Me and Lorraine have gone to King's Capital to escape from such a city, so I don't know what the situation is with Marto right now.

However, it would not be difficult to imagine that there would be any change from the previous one.

Well, I just want you to spare me the rubbing kind, but before you leave the city, it was to the extent that I saw that researchers from the Tower and College had had a little skirmish with the adventurers they had hired as escorts, and that's not going to be the case.

So don't worry... it should be.

Maybe.

"... but the newly created Labyrinth, huh? I'm also interested in why it was done, but simply dive inside and explore it. For once, you guys have been inside, haven't you? What was it like?

That's what I asked Lorraine and I was Jean-Zebec, the head of the Grand Guildmaster of Adventurers' Union.

Though he should be quite old, his body is still forged and healthy, and the light in his eyes is sharper and clearer than Wolf's, the guild master of Malt's Adventurers' Union. I somehow know that you will have the strength to fight decently and not win first.

It's basically me who won't die if he stabs me in the heart or smashes me in the head, but even then I guess this guy will soon kill me and finish me off, like he even cares.

I think that's what brought the most dangerous person to Mult, but it's Wolf's request... all responsibility should rest on his shoulders, and whatever Jean does, I'm not responsible...

Well, now I'm not saying that I think of people quite that much, or that I have dangerous ideas that I don't mind destroying all about the lives of countries and people, but rather people living in the direction of maintaining order.

That's why I guess he's also serving as the head of an organization that brings together intense psychics of habit and cows the king's capital from behind, and in that sense he shouldn't have to worry that much...

"... well, it felt pretty disgusting because we were really freshly made when we dived. I don't know... it's like we're inside people, or the walls are like meat walls."

That's what Lorraine said, so I snorted too and took over.

"That did look like it...... then, when I peeked a little, there were more parts of stone walls and dirt walls that were made, and maybe that was just the beginning oh. I've seen the theory that the Labyrinth is a creature, and if that's what people thought, it seems pretty convincing."

"Ha ha... that's funny. I'm looking forward to seeing it for the first time this year, too, because there's not much to see. How about demons and magic tricks?

"'Cause I care about both. I'll be out soon...... I want you to see all that with your own eyes"

It's only natural that Lorraine said that, and we didn't have time at the time, as much time as we fought against something mutated by the vampire Vampire named Shmini, to deal with that Labyrinth-specific demon, demonic prop, or anything like that.

When I took a little peek afterwards, I didn't even explore it carefully, as much as I took a look at it from the entrance.

So, that labyrinth seems like a pretty interesting place for us if we can keep looking into it.

"Well... if I get all that information from you guys, I'll have half the fun. You're right, you decide to see it with your own eyes..."
