"My husband... Ain was a weird guy too. Not as good as your leader, though."
"What was he like, Ta?
Karan doesn't really remember the man who traveled with Switzerland.
Just the impression that he was a quiet man for a man who traveled all the way to the border.
"I'll stick my neck in anything, you nasty bastard. I can't leave people in trouble alone, and I hate that you've bent over to be weak. You fooled me. I liked being nice and quiet at first, but when I had to hang out, I was really stubborn."
"Phew..."
"Traveling and adventuring... I had a kid and I finally settled down here"
That's what Swissen said, smiling furiously.
Karan thought it was a lonely smile.
But it still doesn't seem to disappear.
"... Sister Swissen, do you want to go home ka?
"Right."
"Don't you like it here?
"I hate it. There's a lot of people, there's a lot of trash, there's a lot of bad guys. Many have given me, but many have been lost."
"Bye."
Regret it, Le?
I tried to throw that word at you, and I stopped.
The face of Switzerland is not the face of the loser.
It's not the face of a human being who loses and turns his back on congratulations.
If you still want to go home, it must be a triumph.
"So, what?
"Anything."
That's what Karan said, cheeks his share of the bun in a bite.
"You, eat some more calm... I've reviewed it"
"Nothing good, Lo... So, what do we do, Le?
"What do you want me to do?
"If you've convinced me, I don't think I need a fight or anything."
"That's not what I'm talking about. Thank you for your help, Mr. Bellocchio. Most importantly, if you can't beat us, it won't work in the top ranks."
"Uh..."
"So battle is battle. Call me for real."
"... really, are you willing to go back to the settlement ka?
"At least I am. And you're not wrong about what Mr. Verrocchio said."
"What did I say, Te?
"Adventurers are temporary jobs. Your leader is angry, but he doesn't know when he's going to die. I've got a lot better work to do than wave my sword. Anyway, if you can't help it, you should choose another option if you can afford it. You in the first place..."
"What?"
"Dragon King's treasure, you're missing it."
"Ugh."
From Karan's mouth, a distressed voice leaked as if even a knife had been pierced.
"Well thats... thats... good luck trying to get it back Te..."
To his weak objection, Swissen shrugs his shoulders in a sigh.
"It can't be that easy for stolen goods to come out. At least I need to go apologize."
"That's... that's just de..."
"So try to beat me. If you win, say nothing, and I'll wait for you until you get your jewels back. Most…"
Swissen put a wild grin on his face and snorted his fingers.
"You don't think it's that easy."

A girl is buried in a pile of books.
As if it were a corpse. For a moment Karan opened his guard fully, but if he listened carefully, he would hear a quiet sleep. The owner of this room, Tiana, is just sleeping sloppily.
"Hey, welcome back, Karan."
"Tiana, what's wrong, Da?
"Looks like you've been studying all night... I'm not trying to wake you up, I'm not trying to wake you up, I'm not leaving you unlocked, I'm in trouble."
Karan giggled as Nick sighed.
"It's okay to go home because you're a weasel, Zo"
"Helpful"
"But what were you studying, Da?
"... I asked once, but I was too professional to understand the story"
To Nick's vague answer, Karan had to nod.
When Tiana talks about her area of expertise early, no one can follow her but Kizna. Kizna has too many ancient languages to explain well to all of us right now in Kizna. Occasionally when we did it alone, we were having a maniacal conversation and the three of us left thought we were just a little envious.
"How'd it go over there?
"n, no problem"
"... right"
"I just don't seem to be willing to take it out of my hands, Na"
"Then we'll have to work hard."
Karan returned a confident smile to it.
That's when Suddenly Kuri and Tiana got up.
"... Oh, welcome back Karan. Nick was still there?
"You're still here, aren't you? I don't know where the key to the front door is, and I couldn't go home. It's careless."
"Oh, I'm sorry. But it was just fine."
"What's up?
"I was wondering if you could be a bit of an experimental bench."
To Tiana's words, Nick lags behind silently.
"Oh, a mistake. It doesn't mean you have to be a trainee."
"Don't freak me out."
"I thought about a new magic trick, so I wanted you to eat it."
"That's one thing wrong with the word" experimental bench. "
"Oh, I need to prepare a lot before I do. I want you to buy a dagger or a sword anyway because it's cheap and broken. Maybe ten bottles would be enough..."
"Hmm? Are you assuming Thousand Sword Peaks...? No, well, that's about it. I have a budget."
"I'd also like to buy an out-of-use demon prop like a talisman. The budget's gonna be high there, but it's gonna be all right, if we take down that bounty-necked cow, we'll get enough change."
"Hey wait, I can't see the story..."
"We need something else like that around the blacksmith, and, uh, would it be quicker to write a drawing? Anyway, I'll do it."
"Oh, wow."
Nick couldn't help but snort in Tiana's demonic and shining eyes.
◆
Nick and the others were outside the labyrinth city.
Initially Nick wanted to go behind the liquor store Anemone of the Sea, but Tiana told him to "narrow and dangerous" and chose a wide place. That's in front of the entrance to the Class G labyrinth, Muddy Sekikan. There are not many problems here, whether it sounds slightly or affects the surroundings.
That's why Tiana didn't hesitate to do anything.
"You, this..."
"Wow..."
Nick and Karan gazed at the sights around them in battle.
It was bizarre and at the same time tragic. There are many shattered swords scattered around. Normally this does not happen. A sword is something that breaks. It is not a shattering and scattering thing.
"Oh, you... what the hell did you make?
Tiana, who was asked so, stroked her score with a lucid eye.
It's a giant circular shield in the shape of a glimpse. But this isn't protective equipment, it's a clean weapon. Nick has no idea what's going on. The only thing I could understand was that this created a tremendous destructive force and made one side catastrophic around. Nick runs on his spine wondering if this is Tiana's arm.
"You can explain exactly how it works though. I'd rather hear it first."
"What?
"This leads to the demons of Thousand Swords Peak?
"Right."
Nick cuts the words, eats the aftermath of Tiana and looks at the chopped down trees and the crushed sword itself.
"... the best neck is whether this can be used within Thousand Sword Peaks. How does magic work and how does it work?
"Theoretically, it's pretty much the same thing as your strange door armor, so it's okay. Something that I could use without any problems in putting up a junction that weakens witchcraft. There is a difference between the strong and weak action of encapsulating magic, but the fundamental type and nature of encapsulating magic remain the same."
In fact, the magic sealed junction was activated successfully and burned out by the passage of time.
There are no signs that I was forced to break that junction, or vice versa that I was pushed into the junction and couldn't activate it.
"Anyway, that's why... we can go to battle"
Tiana's quiet, but stifling, hidden voice was as if it were a sign of thunder.
