Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Serena is a receptionist in the guild.

At the same time, it is a caution stick employed by the Alliance.

Which, when it comes to the main business, is a caution stick. The mere fact that Serena stands on the table and is there drastically reduces the number of people who want to make a scene in the guild. Some people make noise without being driven by temporary emotions or knowing Serena very well, but it is subdued in just a moment.

"Wow, that was awful... I didn't know that. I can't believe there are people like you. I'm really reflecting......!

An adventurer who made a scene saying he was not satisfied with the redemption amount offered an apology.

You look like a sinner in front of an execution bench. I let the blood on my face catch my eye and bluish it, shaking when I shrugged.

While Serena looks down at her opponent with a chilly face, she heartily says, 'No, I won't kill you anything else, and I won't do anything more,' but I won't put it into words. Because fear and majesty are more convenient as a caution stick.

Serena looks back when she apologizes and drops off an adventurer who is running away because of her life.

"It's over. Are you okay, sir?

"Oh, thank you very much."

"No, nothing."

The receptionist who had been teased thanked Serena.

Take it barely and Serena goes back to her reception counter. Naturally, there's no one lined up in Serena's seat. Serena feels a little discouraged with no expression because she's doing this and she's scared by her coworkers.

As a matter of fact, Serena, the Alliance's greatest power, has been distanced by the general clerk with half the admiration, but Serena was not aware of the subtle public deviation.

Especially on a daily basis that doesn't overshadow Serena's expectations. An incredibly calm time when I was an adventurer.

It is still peaceful today. A vertical roll appeared before Serena's reception, who thought so.

"I'm back."

……

Seeing Lil and Colo back as they said, Serena glances slightly.

We're both in a mess.

The adventurer card will heal the wound, but the clothes won't be fixed. In fact, there are some features that can be cured, but that is a feature that cannot be freed until the level is further increased.

Serena thought she would be more heartbroken when they returned.

But Lil and Colo's face was proud.

It was the face of the adventurer who survived the adventure.

I won, I saw it and I knew it. They survived the trial that Serena gave up objectively.

That was, without a doubt, a glorious feat.

"Welcome, Master Lildor, Master Coronel"

I was underestimated. Regardless of Colo, Lil refused to be an adventurer.

That seemed like a very proud decision.

With that apology, Serena bows her head at a deeper angle than usual. From responding to just half the guests playing, Serena utters a welcome word as the receptionist for the Adventurer Guild, which sometimes holds the life of an adventurer.

"Welcome to Adventurer Guild"

Even if not passed on, this was Serena's sincerity.

And unfortunately, Lil, who is neglected by others' timidity, did not notice any particular change in Serena's subtle attitude.

"Well, that's fine. Just redeem for today...... oh?

……

The Adventurer card that Lil put out of her chest pocket. Seeing that, Serena takes a breath.

Nor did he seem to notice Serena's astonishment, and Colo peeks into Lil's adventurer card.

"Is that Lil's? You have a crack in it."

"That's right."

Lil, who checked the status of his adventurer card with Colo, was in a bump with Gigan. I'm good at hearing that the sound was this.

Colo looking at the crack on the card turns to Serena.

"Is this a common thing?

"…… Yes. Adventurer cards collapse when the owner's adventurer dies."

"Eh..."

Lil's face draws attention to Serena's noisy description, which she tries to pretend to be calm.

"Wow, I'm alive!?

"Right. Adventurer cards are rarely damaged, but it's not like you don't know any other examples. I don't really care."

"Yes, it is."

Breathe in Serena's words.

"But I don't deserve to be hurt, either. Can I reissue it?

"As a general rule, it cannot be reissued except in the event of loss"

"... do you have the money? If it is possible at the time of loss, it is OK to reissue it when it is damaged?

"It's a rule."

Serena enters the redemption process after receiving Lil's request.

Even if there is a slight crack, there is no obstacle to the operation.

"The two of you will be a thousand yugs together today"

"Huh?

"Oh, speaking of which, you hardly hunted any demons today."

He was told the smallest amount of the three days, and Colo exposed his pitiful face.

Lil and Colo had exhausted all their energy in the battle against Gigan. He didn't earn enough to call it income because he only hunted some demons on the road.

"Colo. You don't look so pathetic. You're staying at my house anyway, so it doesn't matter if you make this kind of money for a day or so."

"That's right. Thanks a lot!

Apparently Colo is still staying at Lil's house today. Or I guess it will always be. They look like breathing buddies.

Serena, who dropped them off, puffs and crushes.

"You haven't seen it in a while."

Wounds in adventurer cards.

Once, a clan where she was also enrolled. Reminds me of the adventurer card that someone who was that leader had.

Now is the time for the most powerful adventurer and prestigious Lyla's previous clan master. Doha, the founder of the clan Thunderclap, which swelled to the largest in the country.

When Lyla receives the title, the name she intends to engrave into the history of the world by making it her surname. Once aligned with Lyla and Doha, Young Yingjie pulled a labyrinth search as a side-by-side wing. As far as Serena knows, the strongest person.

The adventurer card that he now holds is also heavily cracked during his lifetime.

"…… Mr. Lyla. You seem to know Mr. Coronel's talent for some reason, but what do you think?"

Serena snaps softly.

Accepting the adventures of Lil and Colo, she had noticed Colo's talent up to his glory.

That's the rare level of machines you see. She would run up to the intermediate level and break through the walls to the advanced level as soon as things went well.

But she knows I've seen many adventurers.

The talent of battle is not the only thing necessary to advance the labyrinth.

Something that's going up, something like that. If you challenge the labyrinth, it's not the only thing that goes up, it's just a factor that improves your physical function.

The labyrinth has tall walls at its stronghold.

What you need to move on is the strength of your thoughts. willingness to exceed the limits. Beliefs that don't flinch and stop are the ones that are most needed to break through the labyrinth.

That's why people can wield magic.

"The broken adventurer card is a testament to the labyrinth's rebellion against the Sephiroto system"

Adventurer card created from the leaves of the space tree. It is a reflection of the influence of the Sephiroto system that dominates the labyrinth.

A system where Lyla is desperately trying to resist even after gaining a superior position.

That's how the previous clanmaster, Torah, resisted, and thus the system was killed.

Serena gently takes her adventurer card out of her chest and reads the information written there with her eyes.

Level eighty-nine Serena.

Serena's Adventurer Card, descending from the zero layer of the kingdom (Marcto), breaking through the twenty layers of the foundation (Yesod), breaking through the forty-four layers of mercy (Quecedo), gaining knowledge (Daato) in the seventy-seven layers of the abyss (Kevlar), and treading down the path to the door of the crown (Ketel) on the ninety-nine layers and not scratched one more. One end of the too abominable Sephiroto system, benefiting from the cosmic tree (Yugdrasil).

Shards of a space tree (Yugdrasil) that won't shake, even if Serena grips the steel with all her strength.

On that adventurer card, Lil put a crack in it.

"Maybe it's not Mr. Coronel who can catch up with that guy -"

The solitaire I was crushing, I left it speechless until the end.

I don't know yet.

That's still just a possibility, so it's too early to put it into words.

However, I think it's going to be fun to work at the reception, which I was busy with.

Serena, the former number three in the kingdom's biggest clan, Thunderclap. Once part of a party that reached a hundred layers, the bottom of the labyrinth, and learned the truth of the world, she lifted her mouth to the expectation of a quiet gushing.
