There is certainly a genius in the world.

They're like monsters that don't teach you a big deal, but produce results many, dozens of times more than people would expect.

And those are the ones who climb to the top of the adventurer.

Those who do not either break their hearts along the way and either give up and become aware of other professions or gradually rot, while continuing the same work like inertia.

No, was there another one?

The result is death.

This last one would be salvation in a way, but it is still human beings who want to have full life expectancy at birth.

That's why smart guys stop forcing themselves when they realize their limitations.

But in the end, that adventurer will no longer grow.

Because people's growth depends on whether they can rise above one of their limits or not.

Just something that will still go head-on to hell if you do it alone.

That's why those who hold back just before that... need someone to teach.

The Needs have never had anyone like that before.

That's why there was only one way to rot.

But not from now on.

It's just not good to be too frightened.

"Come on, it's time to go. Because Capitan and Mazrac are waiting at the harbor... to be ready."

When I say so, Lucas says.

"Oh, uh... Lent's husband"

"What?

"Today... after all, is it really a good idea to go to The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God...?

"Yes..."

When I nodded, Lucas looked panicked.

"So, what, we're... personnel looking for sea spirits... okay?

I've asked, so I nodded at this, too.

"Well, you are. Basically. But there's something else I need you to do. Or dive into the labyrinth. It's only natural to fight demons firmly, and we need you to look for materials other than sea spirit grass..."

"... Ya fightin 'after all...?

I think you've come this far.

Why are you telling me that we still didn't think we were going to fight?

I'm talking about working out... when I say working out, you wouldn't normally expect me to be thrown into action all of a sudden.

That's what I mean.

For once, I thought I knew because I was talking about building strength and stepping on the number of places... but that didn't seem like it.

I say.

"That would be right. I promised I'd work you out. Where were you gonna work out?

If I ask, Gahead will answer this.

"... first I thought it would work out somewhat outside the labyrinth. In the labyrinth, I was wondering if I should just look for sea spirit grass..."

"Then you're wasting a lot of time. You're going where you can fight in action because of this, so you won't have a hand in not doing it. In the first place, you guys are crooked adventurers, so you can fight quite a bit, right?

That's the one who attacked me with the three of us.

I was wondering if you thought two or three of the demons, ten or twenty, were not a big deal.

But the needs look at each other and then sigh as if they had given up something.

Then Needs said.

"The place has to be The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God..."

"Are you so terrified of that labyrinth?

"We've never experienced a labyrinth that just needs a curse to get close first. I hear the demons that appear on it are also quite strong."

"... but it would be normal for shallow layers not to come out so powerful demons in any labyrinth. That's not the exception."

"That's what I'm saying..."

You're the unwilling ones, I suppose, but, well, maybe that's all that labyrinth means is special to the inhabitants of Lucalis.

I'm just not gonna stop you from saying anything, so I'm gonna tell the needs.

"... just go. You got your stuff? Look, get out of the store."

The need to rush out of the store when you slap them on the back to kick them out.

Running away like that, not unlikely, but if you do something weird, you say you'll report it to the Adventurers Union Guild, so you won't run away like that.

For better or worse, it's the Adventurers Union that connects their lives.

If they kick me out of there, there's no other way for them to live than to be night thieves.

That's where fallen bronze adventurers go.

Well, if it wasn't for the fact that you attacked me, I would normally get a job and live as a townsman, there would be an option......

I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't tell you.

It's just that when I sweeten them up there, they could do it again sometime. After all, we need to re-tap some sexual roots so that we can finally live as adventurers.

"... that's abusive"

That's what Diego said.

"Yeah, but we gotta kick them out, you're gonna be pulling them into this store forever, they're gonna be"

"That's troubling...... well, shall we go too? Harbor."

"Ah. I'm talking about getting the ship ready and waiting for me..."

That's how we left the store and headed to the harbor.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When we get to the harbor, we can see that there are a number of ships left behind.

It's early morning now, but I felt there were too many ships nonetheless.

Because, normally, fishermen and others should be out already.

"... and is that a rumored ship?"

Diego nods and answers when I squeal like that with my gaze on a big ship that is a little far away.

"Ah. Only once a day, you're a regular ship connecting the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God to Lucalis. But if it's supposed to be, it's time to be out... I guess it still affects the demon that it's appearing offshore"

He also tells Diego the story of the army of the Demon King he heard from the Capitans.

Today, it is unusual from him, who has lived in Lucalis for a long time, that there are many ships in the harbor, and the reason seemed to be that, I mean.

"I won't let the ship out until the muzzle rack, I wish I didn't say..."

When I said that, Diego shook his head to the side.

"No, I'll let that old man out when I say he will... Look, look at that"

If you say that and look in the direction Diego turned his gaze on, you'll see the Mazrac and Capitan already waiting in the midsize ship.

I feel like I'm willing to let the ship out, no matter what you think, and Diego's right, you don't seem to have to worry about it.

Needs are already standing in front of the ship.

Apparently, he didn't run away.

"Looks like we're the last. Hurry up."

That's what Diego said and ran out, so I followed that back, too.
