025 Labyrinth Without Return

- April 18, 6: 30 a.m. -

Not as cold but cold air, neat scaffolding where artificial intervention can be seen, sounding like inexplicable screams heard from afar, without pine lights and light source magic, we wouldn't even know each other's faces.

We started diving into the labyrinth where we didn't return... an hour had passed.

A place called the Labyrinth is basically the main road. However, the distance is very long and it is not uncommon to take days to a week to attack.

It goes without saying that securing food and hydrating these are important things, but it can be said that what is important on these main roads is to maintain mental health.

I'm not lost, but I just walk straight and aim deepest with no time guide.

If you are unfamiliar, some will go mad in three days.

Therefore, it cannot be said that even casual conversations are not necessary.

"No, what was the composition of the party you dived in before?

I hear three Rank B warriors and two magicians.

"But I didn't mean I dived. Maybe that bandits attacked you on the way, wiped you out?

"Hmm... that could be enough. Now at this stage, I'm fighting several monsters. They shouldn't have been the kind of guys whose Rank B party would be late. Even if we couldn't get to the deepest part, maybe we hadn't even come to the labyrinth more than the monsters in the shallow part hadn't been crusaded"

Exactly...... as things stand, I don't see any signs of people coming in.

If you're defeating a monster, there's got to be some wreckage.

If the adventurer is dead, the remains and remnants must have been identified.

It's more than likely that those bandits, The Laughing Fox, have attacked me and died than they have found any bloodstains, disputed marks, or bones.

"Mm, I've spotted a couple of ghoul loads ahead, each intercepting attitude!

"Ouch!

And the monsters we meet are rank C equivalent.

He is not an enemy that the normal Rank B Party cannot defeat.

Only a relatively weak monster appeared after that, and walking smoothly for two days we got out to what seemed like the deepest part.

"Damn, I've never seen anything like this before..."

A dark circular room, five people came in, not big or small.

Behind it there are steps, a grid like a tightly closed cell ahead… in which a number of brilliantly glowing treasures.

"It's got like a keyhole on it... but I didn't drop anything like that on the way, did I?

"This is pretty hard, unless you're also the Six Brave Men, you can't kill it, can you?

"Give it a try... Mr. Azley, I need your help"

"Yes...... tension up!

"... Huh!

Blazer, who pulled out his sword, swung heavily, releasing a blow toward the lattice, arguably the synagogue.

Moments, loud noises echo from the sword and lattice played. It was dull, and then it sounded tall.

"... you're missing a little sword"

"It's not iron. It's material, right? Is that special metal?

"It's a material I don't even know about, huh? But if you can't take this, you won't be able to accomplish it, will you?

"Master, what is this..."

Porch asks me, looking back.

The lattice is a silver colour characteristic of iron… I can see the redness of the pattern in it. Yes, I've read that in the literature. I guess he knows, too, to see how Porch is doing.

"One of the ancient metals...... drinium steel. It's a precious metal once said to have been used by jihadists as a protective tool."

The three faces turn to me in unison.

"Seriously, Azree?

"Well, you shouldn't be able to slash it in the street... isn't this plaid more precious than treasure?

"Sure... but I can't open it..."

"Can't you do something about it, Master?

"I can't open it, but it's easy if you just take the treasure"

"So, what are you gonna do?

The blues raise a mixed voice of excitement.

"You just have to dig from the side without worrying about the lattice. It's a little cumbersome, though."

"... uh, I see"

No big surprise for Brutes.

It's really funny when you think about it, but it makes sense.

"Partially makes it easier to dig rocks, so I'll take care of it afterwards"

"Am I digging?!?

"The right material, brother."

and cheeky blues, with Betty bashing her back and encouraging her.

"Damn, give me a slice of dried meat, will you, Azley?

"I'll slice mine and Porch's one piece at a time."

"Hey Master, it's so convoluted!?

Porch looks like the end of the world.

"You should be one with the master, you demon, Porch?

"You can't have a master and a heart together!

"That would be great."

"" Ku, ha ha ha ha ""

Brutes and Betty laugh out loud, and Blazer is holding her mouth down, too.

Was it that crazy?

"Ha-ha-ha, no, it's a good combination, you guys."

"Hehe, you look like a young couple who've been with you for years."

Makes me look more unhappy than Porch gives me a slice of dried meat.

It's as if, yes, you've bitten zombies and ghouls.

"The master and I... husband and wife huh?

That's an amazing look.

Really disgusting look...... eh, you're gonna cry?

"A good adventurer is something that an adventurer would recognize, and I look forward to the future."

Nicole laughs as Blazer lays down her sword. Could be an unexpected look.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Why... why... oh, it's over..."

"Wonderful, I didn't expect to dig through a horizontal hole like this in just two hours..."

Brutes is poking his hand at the ground and sweating.

I didn't have enough energy in my face to feel like I was breathless.

"Yes, brother, good job!

"Betty... blast me..."

"Yes, do it"

Betty kicked it off as the dying blues crawled and asked for Betty's help, but with a full smile full of flowers blooming behind her.

Brutes, waved off his offered hand, lay face down on the ground as it was and only groaned "hiccup".

"Hahaha, we're very close"

"Well, it feels like you guys are no better, doesn't it?

"Mmm, I'm still not convinced..."

"We don't notice anything inside. What people saw and thought was that they were showing it. That's what gets eliminated, shredded, polished and determines the name and impression."

"Oh, it's easy to understand."

That's a good word. Let's make a note of it.

"Well, unfortunately you can't take the plaid, but now you're half done with this request"

"Phew, all we have to do is go home alive."

"Brutes, can we go?

"Let me sleep for about ten hours and I'll figure it out."

"I can't, let's go home!

Blazer, who double-crossed Brutes' genuinely mixed light mouth, began to take the lead as he carried a large leather bag wrapped around his treasure.

If we get out there, Porch can get huge and carry his stuff, but until then, it would be reasonable to leave it to the most physically fit blazer.

We rushed out of the labyrinth, feeling tired from the body, but we were able to get back to the entrance at the same speed as we were going.

However,

"... Hey, aren't you surrounded by this?

Brutes, who felt signs from the inside out of the labyrinth, hands on the sword.

"I see this is how they do it..."

"What are you gonna do, you're not gonna get out of this?

"Master, what do you want to do?

".........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Rejected! Tame it. Is that it!?

"Sometimes, okay?

"Sometimes they decide on a day to die."

"... oh, good return"

"Yes, it happens."

It's a little naughty, but you've come a little further from it.

Blazer unloaded as Porch blushed and answered. And he started to turn loose his loaded shoulders.

"Well, why don't you just get interested in the one called Death Fight!

"Uhm, if it's inevitable, we need to cut down on the opponent's power wherever possible and reduce the burden on those who follow"

"What about the operation?

"... let's poach"

"... now you seem serious, Master? Can I help you?

The look on Porch's face hardened in an instant and he was prepared to do what he was going to do with my measures.

"Layer the titles up and tension up on the pouch. Fortunately, thanks to Swift Magic it is possible to hang it easily, so don't worry about it there. Immediately afterwards, Porch becomes huge and ambushes his enemies, instantly judging them, defeating them in turn from the weak ones"

"... no"

"What will the three of us do?

"I apologize for being selfish...... please escort me"

"Of what I mean, is one Porch a special attack? Well, that's true. So, why do you need all three of us to escort you?

"Sure, I think me and Brutes could do it alone, two, Blazer?

The two of you will do an accurate analysis and calculate the number of escorts I need.

"That's true, but while you're escorting me, I'll be completely defenseless. I need this number because I can't protect myself."

"... quite a trick, isn't it?

"It's not that big a deal."

"Okay, so let's go"

"Oh, why is that so good?

"Are you not sure?
