"Is this the transfer device... Hmm"

It is Capitan who said that with a subtle face.

In front of him was a small temple-like building made of stone, floating in its centre like a giant purple crystal.

When it comes to why you look so subtle at it, I kind of get it.

Capitan's familiar metastatic device… that is, probably because it looks different from the metastatic magic formation.

Indeed, it is strange to think about it.

It's in the labyrinth, so it's more convincing to be a metamagic formation, just like the one that connects Hathaler to that giant labyrinth...

Why are the methods different?

Or is it something that's moving on the same reasoning just because we don't get it?

I think if Lorraine was here, she'd have thought about it, but unfortunately, she's not here.

All I'm here for, including me, is the kind of brain muscle I've gotten through my life mainly with my arms.

For once, Diego used to be a cleric, so I guess I can't say enough... but after all, you look at him as if the one you rely most on is your own arm... prejudice?

Well, that's okay.

"If you touch this, it means it starts, right?

He nods when I ask Diego, who seems to be most familiar with this Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God.

"Ah. That way we can go back to the entrance. And to come here from the entrance, you just have to touch the same transfer device with this in mind."

"... hmm? Was there a transfer device at the entrance in the first place?

"You just look like someone touching a transfer device here. I could see it... but it doesn't make sense to say it, so I kept quiet for now"

"Oh... no. Diego has defeated that big armored fish before. Have you ever been here?"

"That's the thing. Even so, my quest is over by now. I couldn't go any further, either, because those guys who were partying at that time left satisfied. It was tough at the time to go alone from here to here on the boulder. We'll be moving on for a little while now... but we're not gonna make it to the next transfer."

Here's the Capitan,

"Next? Does that mean there's something similar to this from here on out?

and asks Diego as he stares at the transfer device.

"Ah. I don't know how far it is... from here on out, it seems, every time the hierarchy changes. I haven't bought it because it's highly informative from the bottom up, and I don't know how many adventurers have gotten that far so it hasn't been made public... I'm pretty sure there are regular ones in the middle. So from here on out, proceed with a larger safety margin. That being said, the strength of the demons that come out changes dramatically, so it's only natural that it's much more dangerous than going down the lower levels."

"Well... I only bought info until I got through the lower levels, so it was good info. But are you glad you told me?

When Capitan asked, Diego nodded,

"I don't mind. I'm having a party in the first place, and it's a better story to share. Remember your needs. Just don't play too much outside. The Adventurers' Union, the Alliance, the informant."

Needs were frightened by the words as they listened and listened in the back.

Apparently he was thinking of selling it to someone later.

"What, why are you staring at me...?

Needs have asked, so Diego answers.

"That's how we narrow the information down in the first place, because we don't get as many low-level adventurers out there as possible that rely on that information from Darkless Arrow Cod. In every country, in every city, but an informant is mostly in a cooperative relationship with the Adventurers' Union. So, to a certain extent, we identify the strengths of adventurers and carefully select the content and quality of the information that flows. Well, some informants have absolutely nothing to do with the Adventurers' Union, but those guys are more dangerous because they can often be more involved with the back society. That's why I'm not even going to say never tell anyone about the current information... but if you don't really know what's going on, but you tell a strange guy, you know it's dangerous."

"Ooh... ok"

I guess I thought Diego had passed on too because my needs snorted a little frightened.

I shook my head vertically as I was satisfied, then I said.

"Well, shall we use the transfer device?"

Of course, nobody says no.

We have a transferring device… When we touch the crystal there at the same time, the crystal shines a little light, and at that moment, the vision stains bright white.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... oh, this is..."

Looking around, it was the entrance to the labyrinth.

Even so, not in the ocean, but from the outside, so close to where we first went up.

I'm relieved that they haven't been able to make enough livestock specifications to throw it into the ocean on boulders.

Well, Diego would be careful if it was like that...

By the way, what was there was certainly a large crystal, just like the transfer device I just touched, but the colors are different and they are green.

It was the same thing that a small temple-like building was built to cover that crystal.

The crystal colors are different... because the minerals used are different?

Or is that what is happening with magic etc......

I still can't tell from looking at the fine mechanism.

I'd just like to find out if I can......

Diego says you've noticed the gaze I seem to want.

"Just in case I tell you, it's no use trying to bring this guy back because you want to look into it, okay?

"That's again, why?

"If you try to force me to bring this guy back, it's because the demons of the labyrinth are going to massively count and transfer him here. I hear that's what happened before."

"... would that be the case if there were so many transfer devices on the protrusion"

"Ah. I was here at a party of scholars and adventurers at that time, and that's what the scholars tried to do better... but I'm talking about a gangster demon appearing. But taking a distance from the transfer device, the demons disappeared, too. Probably back where I was, or something like that."

"If there's a defensive mechanism or something...... not necessarily, but if you're not impotent, it's convenient, and you're convinced it's something like that"

"That would be better...... well, shall we go home? I have to dive into the ocean and go up to sea, just like I did when I got here, okay? Lent and Capitan will have no problem..."

That's what Diego sees the needs, and they're probably shaking their heads vertically too.

Somehow the needs seem to feel a little bit like fear for Diego.

I'm sure there's something like a brother's skin that won't let me tell you if it's there or not.

I don't know. But I didn't.

Then we dived into the ocean and swam hard to the ship at sea.

Fortunately, the giant fish we saw when we arrived went somewhere, without seeing them, and they all made it there safely.
