Naturally, Lent and the others cannot perceive the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God, the fact that such a thing had been done at sea far above it.

It's just that the aftermath of unilateral ravages that still get lost in deciding whether or not to call that battle... was well within Lent's grasp, and it was of course what made them so vigilant.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It became clear to me and to the Capitans that there was probably something at sea that created an incredibly powerful concentration of magic and a shake that could be transmitted to the labyrinth that existed at the bottom of the deep ocean.

I just can't imagine what that is.

Is it a terribly strong demon, or a natural disaster, or something else...

"... Whatever, the shake has calmed down, or..."

He exhaled and said so after the Capitans had made sure that of the surrounding stone walls and other things that were about to collapse had finished an obvious collapse.

Sure, the little shake I had earlier is completely gone.

In addition to that......

"I don't even feel magic anymore... What was that? You know what Capitan is?

Yes, I felt it for a moment, the aggregation of explosive magic, even if it were, I don't feel anything enough to say there's no sign of it.

Rather, it's so much more magical than earlier that I feel the perimeter is stable.

My sense of being a demon is sensitive to such things.

Capitans also seem to know about this,

"... I don't even know what happened. However, I don't think anything more is going to happen. I don't know... it's similar to the air in the woods after the big demons burst around. Everything about the energy dissipates and the place feels calm..."

Well, I also feel that way when you ask me.

But that doesn't make it perfectly safe.

Anyway, because what happened earlier was suddenly happening without any preconditions.

Nevertheless......

"Oh, you can say it's no use worrying. No matter how careful you are, when you meet Big Way, you meet. That's what it is."

That's what the Capitans said in an atmosphere of objectivity.

That's true, too, or if you're an adventurer, that's about the only time anyone meets an event that they don't want to happen like that.

It's just luck to survive then.

I'd be a good example of that.

And I don't even think it worked out because I was careful.

"So the labyrinth exploration continues."

When I dare speak up and check with the Capitans,

"Oh. That'll do."

I nodded.

Then,

"... Looks like you're back"

"The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God," four figures emerged from the stone aisle leading behind it.

Naturally, that's Diego and his needs where we're party members.

Diego has a sober look, but the needs looked anxious.

When they find us, they approach us with a little small run.

"... Lent's husband! What was that?!?

It was Lucas, the little fat adventurer, who rushed up to me and asked me that. I say because I knew right away that that was exactly that shake that we felt too.

"You can't tell...... it just seems like you've settled down already, don't you think?

That was undisputed earnestness, but from Lucas' point of view, it sounded pretty irresponsible or blatant.

In a desperate manner,

"Oh, you don't know that! Let's go back now! Back soon...... let's have a drink for today!? But if you don't, you're restless...... or are you not going to tell me to keep exploring the labyrinth like this!?

and so on.

But Diego, who watched Lucas like that with cold eyes, says mercilessly.

"... lucas"

"What is it?

"Neither Lent nor Capitan have said they will pull up for today. Instead, he has the look that he can't help but care about that... right?

"What!? No way..."

Gigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigi

I made myself clear as I gazed at him.

"... I'm not leaving. At least not like this."

Then when they say what happens, I go home, well, if I ever meet a dragon or anything like that......

Well, it's no use trying to go home then.

In the first place.

"Lucas, you said you were going home. The ship won't be here till evening. Until then, I can't help but kill my time here. If you can't move anyway, you should go ahead and explore a little bit."

Until just now, I thought my words would certainly feel like the bravery of the reckless, depending on what I heard, and when I told him the more realistic reason, did Lucas also admit reason to the boulder?

"... so is that. Yeah, but if that just happened again..."

That's what I'm saying.

The need for this,

"Lucas, give it up. It's not what I could have said, but it would be the life I picked up in the first place anyway. I don't care if you lose it or not, that's the only way."

That's what I said and laughed, so did Lucas bitterly.

"... heh. You don't get all kinds of eyes when I'm dating you... well, otherwise, I might never have dived in here in my whole life, for a long time"

"That's what I'm talking about"

They had a conversation between the two of us about how good it was.

Lucas' fright also disappeared with it.

Then I remember and ask Diego.

"No... Capitan told me. You saw some strange hallucinations, didn't you?

"Hmm? Oh, well... I think that's from my mental problems. Hey, there's a lot going on about this labyrinth... sad story, but I think I saw some strange illusions with it."

They already settled on that kind of reasoning in Diego.

I feel kind of sorry for digging this up, but I wouldn't even be able to leave it alone.

Because there's a chance that we'll see the same thing after this.

That's why I tell Diego.
