Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

"Welcome, gentlemen"

When Lil and the others entered the Labyrinth Guild, Serena, sitting at the reception, greeted them.

"What are you doing, you?"

I couldn't help but say hello.

Serena has been a long time since she left the guild's staff. In other words, Serena is now the clanmaster of Thunderclap. Serena answers without evil to Lil, who can see what such an important figure is doing sitting in the receptionist's seat in the Adventurer's Guild uniform.

"I told the Alliance I couldn't."

Apparently the selfishness of the largest clanmaster in the country.

I could only laugh bitterly at Serena for exposing herself behind the scenes of the circumstances sitting at the reception without changing her expression.

"Ma, that's fine. …… we're going into the labyrinth. the process."

"Understood. Please make a bookkeeping."

"I understand."

Serena proceeded with her work in a pale manner.

I didn't do anything extra, like the first time I met him, and then the inner matter of the two was a perfectly like this exchange.

Serena gently looks at the contents of the bookkeeping that Lil and the others finished with her fingers.

"indefinitely ahead of a hundred layers,"

"Yeah, no problem."

"……… Yes"

Serena finishes her job, her eyes slightly narrowed with regret, offering her hand.

"The three of you can't have a problem or anything. Thank you for your bookkeeping. Serena accepted today's reception."

Without mistake, the lils respond to the intent of the offered hand.

"I'll be right back."

"I'm coming."

"Coming."

Shake hands firmly in turn. At the end of the day, Serena lowered her head deeply, confirming that Heeko's hand had broken away.

"Please, come in"

Following Serena's drop-off, the lils head to the entrance to the labyrinth.

Labyrinth teleport spot. There was a woman in front of the gate who could travel in an instant to the specific hierarchy reached.

Seeing him, Lil glances at him, stopping his legs, and Colo speaks up.

"Mr. Alicia?

"Yes, Mr. Coronel."

Standing in front of the labyrinth teleport spot was Alicia.

There was a question mark at the end of Colo's story because she was not dressed as a maid. Being a servant, she is forced to wear monotonous plain clothes even when she is not wearing made-up clothes, but now she is wearing normal clothes.

"What's wrong, Alicia? It's unusual to wear personal clothes."

"If it's a samurai job, I've been free for a while."

"What?"

Face the exact statement.

As Lil exceeds a hundred layers, I know she will be removed from Lil's servant. But I thought I was going to go back to the mansion, but this former maid seems to have quit her job herself.

"Why did you do that? You must be a servant of the whole family."

"Do you need me to continue my maid of honor when you're gone?

The sharp end of the tongue was alive and well after lightly sealing off the lil in an attempt to quit the maid.

"Besides, it doesn't mean I cut off from the archivists. The housekeeper thankfully entrusted me with the management of the apartment."

"Oh, your father did a lot of work, even in lieu of retirement money."

"Yes. In the future I will manage that apartment as an administrator. They say you can leave me free on the third floor... but I plan to keep it that way for at least a year"

Alicia offers Lil her hand to invite her to the dance.

"So you can always come back"

I'm not wearing made-up clothes and I'm not wearing a cap. Alicia talks to Lil with a perfectly impressive face.

"Even if that's the survival of the world, there's no need for you to sacrifice. At least I think so."

"…… that's too bad."

To Alicia's sweet words, Lil did not nod.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not going back. It's something I want to challenge myself, and it's not something I would sacrifice."

"Really?"

To the answer I probably knew, Alicia drops her shoulder.

I took off my maid's clothes. I pinched my own personal clothes and smiled like I was lonely.

"… If it had been like this sooner, would it have been different?"

Faster, that's probably why if Alicia had abandoned her servant's position and started assisting Lil before Lil challenged Lila to a duel, something would certainly have been different. Alicia would have molested Lil's rampage, and she could have been right on her right arm. That way, Lil wouldn't have been able to suspend the school or become an adventurer.

But in that case, you never met Colo, that's all.

"I'm telling you, there's no plug."

"Right. It was a completely unproductive assumption."

When they first met, Alicia was a smart kid and Lil was a stupid kid.

Alicia believed that a person's temperament was determined by birth.

This petty lady was trying to be that safety net, thinking that one day she would surely fall because of her self-esteem. It was meant to be an insurance policy for when I was away - but after all, Alicia couldn't bring out the strength of Lil.

"But a little, I regret it"

I wish I had noticed.

Because I'm sure Lil would have been different again if he'd stayed next door without being alone.

"When I go to a hundred layers, I hear you."

"Exactly. I told you in advance."

"Like the legendary Iason, or Toja, if you don't come back, that's what I hear"

"Not like those two. I leave the world to do what is necessary to support this world. That's all."

"Still, you're not coming back, are you?

"Yeah, you're right."

"Why should Lil do that?

Ask with a strong eye that doesn't make you feel like it's the last ascension.

Alicia is not even convinced at this time.

"Even if it has to be you... still, there's no need for you to go"

Only one person in the world, only she doesn't know Lil will be gone. She admits that she has grown stronger and gained the strength to move forward with local power, but insists that it has nothing to do with sacrificing it.

Lil smiles brilliantly at his oldest friend, calling his nickname for the first time, against his shamelessly exposed dear.

"Because I am the lildor that shines in the world."

I can't hold back if I throw away everything I have. Alicia loosens her lips to the notion of giving up when she is shown an undeniable fact and realizes it.

When I saw that fight with Krook Looper, Alicia also admitted that Lil did shine in the world.

"…… Yes. Yes, you did."

My own loss.

At last, Alicia lost even in the tongue fight, paving the way to the labyrinth to keep it clean at the end, picking the hem of her dress skirt and thanking her.

"Welcome aboard, my stupid lady (My Little Lady)"

"Yeah."

Lil leaves one step forward and passes next to Alicia, who bows her head and drops her off.

"I'm coming, Alicia."

The last time I stood by myself, I went through the gates of being just a person.

The lils went to the labyrinth to stop the annihilation of the world.
