◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
"Nao-san, how are you?
"I can't... Chiyuki. There's nowhere to escape. It's hard to find, Ruby."
Nao answers while stroking the mouse on his head.
It seems that rats will eventually be kept.
The rat was named Ruby. The origin of the name is apparently because the flaming red hairline looks like a jeweled ruby.
Ruby somehow looks like she gave up.
At first, she seemed to hate it, but recently she has grown up.
"Yes... I don't think this area is good either....."
It's been five days since I've been here.
Nao and I are exploring every day to get out of the basement five stories together.
These five levels are all bounded, so you can't get out of the transition.
That's why I'm looking for a way out.
But I can't find a way out.
I tried to dig a tunnel and escape with the magic of the spirits of Lino's earth, but the labyrinth seemed to be made of special materials, so I couldn't make a hole.
In the first place, it seems that in this labyrinth, the Spirit's work is weak and can't be helped.
Nao's sensing ability is also hindered by boundaries and cannot be demonstrated.
I thought about breaking the labyrinth with Reggie and my magic, but this labyrinth is strong and unbreakable in the first place.
Even if it could be destroyed, those other than us would not be safe.
Totally stuck.
It was careless to enter the transfer gate at that time. But if I hadn't come in, I wouldn't have known anything.
You can't help regretting it.
Let's find a way out of this.
"What should I do, Mr. Chiyuki?
"I can't help it. Let's go back to Us once."
Nao and I will go back to Us.
I'm the magic of flying, Nao makes wings on his back and flies through the sky.
Nao's wings are not pure white that shines like Shirone's wings, but a little blue without light. And linear distances can be slower than sirone.
Nao says it's unfair to Shirone, but I think Nao's wings are beautiful enough.
After flying over the sky for a while, we can see the city of Us.
This town of Us has no walls.
The reason for the absence of a castle wall is that there are no monsters on these five floors that threaten humans. That's why you don't need a castle wall.
We descend to the central square of the city.
When we get off, the people in the square run away from us.
Everyone is afraid to be with us. People are looking at us from afar.
There is no one to talk to.
The reason is we killed the Minotaur that ruled this city.
The people of our city fear retaliation from the Minotaurs on the lower level. That's why they keep away from us.
The way people live in the square seems to be living much the same as people outside the world.
The city of Us is on the fifth floor of the labyrinth city of Lavulintos.
From this fifth floor, it seems that there is an underground city where the Minotaurs live.
For the first time in our city, we know that this labyrinth city, where Minotaur is finished, is called Lavulintos.
And this city of Us was built by the Minotaurs to live in.
The city of Us has a population of about 40,000. All the people here are either the ones brought in by Minotaur from outside or their descendants.
In other words, all the people in this city of Us are Minotaur slaves... no, livestock.
They are forced to sacrifice themselves to the Minotaurs.
Some of the people who had just been brought in said that they resisted, but Minotaur could not be confronted by humans. It just seemed to be a sacrifice.
However, if you don't defy me, you can live in peace in these five levels.
Stone houses with water and sewage are so splendid that they are comparable to luxury houses in the Republic of Ariadia.
And the huge crystals above you become darker and brighter over time, creating day and night. In addition, it is rich in grass and water.
The magical power gathers the power of the earth in the Minon plains, or the land is so abundant that it can take various crops.
Human beings are raised cherished in these five levels. Even a few sacrifices in a year can lead a prosperous life by meditating.
Perhaps we can live a richer life than on earth.
At least he's living a better life than a human goblin.
Except for the Minotaur, there is no monster threat. Probably safer than on the ground.
Think so much and shake your head.
No matter how rich and safe it may be, it is the peace of the livestock. I can't accept it.
Besides, we must do whatever it takes to escape beyond the promise to help the people of the Pasipa Air Kingdom brought to this city.
It appears that the people of the Pacipa Air Kingdom have also been brought to this Us.
But not all of them were taken. Some were killed along the way, and others were taken to lower levels than here.
Above all, there is no Queen of Pacific Air, Eulia's mother. If he was alive, he would have been taken to the lower level.
There are about 3,000 Pacific Airmen in this city of Us. Much less than the number of people who have disappeared.
But I don't really want to think about why it's gone down.
I met the people of Pacipa Air, but their faces were all dark. Well, I don't know what's going to happen.
Nevertheless, the people who had enslaved Goblins on earth would be cattle here. What an irony.
Me and Nao travel to the temple in the middle of the city.
The temple gate has an axe crest with blades on the left and right.
It is the holy mark of the evil god Lavulus.
This double-edged axe is also a symbol of the Minotaurs.
It appears that this axe can only be held by the Minotaur ruling class.
"Dear Chiyuki"
You are stopped when you try to enter the temple.
Turning around, there was a little girl standing there.
He will be under ten years old, with a cute look in his midst.
"What's wrong?
I speak with a gentle voice just as consciously.
"Ah... I brought you that vegetable and bread."
The girl gives out the basket she has in her hand.
Yes, thank you.
When I accept it, the girl runs away with her head lowered and her heels turned back.
Most humans are afraid not to approach, but there are exceptions.
That's the girl from earlier.
Everything seems to have been decided that the girl's sister would be sacrificed to the Minotaur in a month.
But it seems he was saved by our presence.
I remember the girl and her sister coming to thank me.
Since then, she has brought us food.
There are people who support us. If there are people asking us for help, I would like to help.
I didn't want to help the Goblins when they were enslaved, but I still couldn't bear it when people were enslaved.
Take Nao to the back of the temple.
In the back is an altar with a giant statue of more than ten meters. The statue is a monster in the form of a Gozu six-armed human body.
It is a statue of the evil god Lavulus.
Someone is standing in front of the statue.
It is a minotaur about two meters tall.
"This is Chiyuki and Nao-sama. Welcome home, Bumo."
The Minotaur who noticed us lowers his head.
"Hi, Zoom. Reggie, where are you?"
Minotaur's name is Zoom.
It's one of the Minotaurs who ruled humans in this city of Us.
But this Zoom was bullied by other Minotaurs.
The Minotaur people's strength determines the vertical relationship.
This Zone is the weakest and lowest end of this Lawlintos.
We won the battle against the Minotaurs who ruled the people when we came to this city.
At that time Zoom begged for only one life. That's why I didn't take my life.
And Reno took control of it with charming magic and pulled out the information.
Zoom says we have to open it from the outside to get into and out of these five floors.
I heard a lot from this Zoom.
The Minotaurs are determined by their strength. And the weak shall surrender to the strong.
Sometimes they get killed and eaten.
Apparently, the Minotaurs have a cannibalistic nature.
Even in the myth of the world we lived in, Minotaurs were born from human women, yet they ate and ate together. It seems the same in this world.
And Zoom seems to be in a position to be eaten if he can't raise humans well.
It was treated badly, but worse than the humans in our city.
I thought you said you were an employee of a ranch run by a black company. It is very sad to be below the livestock.
So there's no point in trying to make Zoom a hostage cow.
Minotaurs on the lower level will abandon Zoom.
"I'm sorry, Chiyuki... I don't know because I haven't seen you today, Bumo. Maybe you're still asleep, Bumo."
Bumobumo and Zoom say they're sorry. My face is creepy because it is a cow.
Well, what do we do now? I think about eating lunch.
◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
At lunch, everyone gathered in the dining room except Zoom.
In front of me is a thinly baked bread, vegetables and cheese.
It is normal for bread in this world to be thinly baked.
Thinly baked bread is a simple bread made from grain and water that is free of yeast.
Not that there is no yeast in this world. Yeast-flavoured bread is actually sold in the Republic of St. Lenaria.
Thinly baked bread is typically baked for storage and with a small amount of fuel.
And it's normal to eat vegetables and meat in this bread.
Eating something sandwiched in bread is a popular way to eat even in the world we were in.
I put cheese and vegetables on bread.
Cheese is like feta cheese taken from goats kept on these five levels.
There is a huge rock salt in the five floors, so there is no need for salt. I don't know where the water comes from.
That's why I don't have to come out of these five levels to live forever.
"No way... I don't think there's any other loopholes."
While eating lunch, I tell everyone about the results of my exploration with Nao.
Really? I'm sorry, Chiyuki. What should I do, Rage? "
Eulia leaned over to Reggie with a sweet voice.
Looking at it, Reno and Nao look sharp. Sahoko doesn't seem very interesting either.
"Mr. Eulia... I'm on my way to a serious conversation. Can you stop being so sticky?
I look at Eulia. But Eulia has a cool face.
"I don't think so. Reggie the corner was safe, I can't leave."
That's how I hug Raige.
Eulia chased Reggie two days ago and got caught by the Minotaur. And they brought me here.
And somehow I live in this temple.
I can afford to be in danger.
And there's nothing to worry about even though my mother hasn't been found.
And what bothers me is the maids brought along with her.
Just like Eulia, it's not moving at all.
They also live in this temple as usual and take care of Eulia.
I'm grateful because they clean the room, feed and bathe, but aren't they worried?
"Not bad, Chiyuki. Let's relax."
Reggie cheeks up apple-like fruit.
"Hey, Reggie! You're gonna be here forever!?
I yell. But Reggie smiles gently at me like that.
"It's okay, Chiyuki. Minotaur and the others will not stay like this forever. He's going to do something. Just wait till then. Besides, there are Shirone and Kaya outside. They'll do something about it. Let's relax until then."
It's trapped, but it's not moving at all. As usual.
She sighs. Reggie is really big.
To tell the truth, I'm pretty upset about being trapped. I think that would be the case with ordinary people.
But I'm the only one in a hurry.
Not only Eulia and the others, but Sahoko, Lino and Nao are also flat.
It may seem strange to me that I am restless.
I'm sure Reggie can handle it.
Or maybe you think there's nothing wrong with being trapped separately as long as you're on Raige's side. Sahoko seems to think so anyway.
Eulia believes in Raige even though the days are short. That's why you're behaving like this.
I can't believe Rage that much.
She sighs. The others, to be honest, are anxious. It's been like this for five days. I wonder what will happen to me...
I lay down at the table.
"Chiyuki"
I hear voices in my ears right away.
Turning around, Reggie came to me at some point.
"It's okay, Chiyuki. Trust me. And trust the sirones out there."
That's what Raj looks like.
Pretty faces are approaching and stinging. This guy's face is definitely good, so he's in trouble.
If only you could look at me now, I would have fallen.
Reggie's eyes turned towards her, and she was serious at no time. I wish I always had such a face.
And Reggie looks at me like that.
This is not good!!
My reason sends a red flag.
"It's okay, Reggie! Something's up!!
I push Rage.
It was close to being washed away. Watch out! Watch out!
However, I feel that the anxiety that I felt just now has disappeared.
But my heart is still pounding.
When I looked at Rage, I noticed the smell even though it was pushed. This guy is...
"Well, Chiyuki is also feeling better. Do you want to go for a picnic tomorrow? It doesn't seem to rain here either. It should feel good, guys."
"Give it up!!
Reiji said brightly that Reno agrees.
These five floors are wide, and there is a hill with flowers and grass in the lake.
The light emitted from the crystal is just right for a warm picnic.
"Well then, I'll make lunch. Nao-chan, help me."
"Haiichi! Sahoko-san!
Sahoko and Nao look at me and say.
Not only Rage, but also Sahoko and Nao seem to care about me.
Sure, I can't help it if I'm depressed.
I will cheer up.
Sahoko-san, I'll help you too.
"Thank you, Chiyuki."
Sahoko smiles. It's the Virgin's smile. Heals the hearts of those who see. Naturally, so am I.
I can't just be depressed. I can't pretend that I'm going down first.
I have to be strong.
Oh, I'm looking forward to having Chiyuki cooked for the first time in a while.
Tell Reggie to tear it up.
Sahoko-san, don't look forward to it.
I say with a little glance.
"I'll eat anything if it's chiyuki."
Doesn't that sound like my cooking is terrible?
I think I'll put something very painful in Reggie's words.
"Reggie, can I come with you?
"Good, Eulia. Let's go together."
"Thank you, Reiji!!
That's how Eulia hugs Reggie.
All of us look sharp in that state.
Whatever it is, it's a picnic tomorrow.
It's bad for the outside sirone, but it's better than spending the dark.
We continued our lunch.
◆ Reaper Sarxis
"Why, Lavrus! Why don't you send the braves!!
Stuck in Lavrus sitting on the throne 13 stories underground.
"What are you talking about, Zarxis? I don't remember promising to give you a brave man. And it was my daughter Eulia who captured the brave. So I decided to do it with Eulia."
Lawrence laughs.
"Gu..."
I can only moan.
Certainly inspired his daughter to send the Light Warrior to the Labyrinth.
His daughter Eulia is watching the braves now.
I am supposed to let you know as soon as there is any abnormality.
Admittedly Eulia's achievements are great.
However, the fifth hierarchy of boundaries was created by Lavrus based on my knowledge. A prison of my knowledge.
And it was this Sarxis who helped turn this underground palace into a maze. Forget it....
However, it is not a good idea to defy Lawrence.
"Then I guess you'll get the brave girls....."
"No. Those girls aren't as beautiful as Lena, but they are. I can't give it to you."
Moaning again, it was exactly what I thought it would be.
Lawrence laughs at herself like that.
"But it's Lawrence. What are you gonna do if Lena doesn't show up? I told my daughter I'd do it, but you're not gonna kill the brave one?
I was worried about it.
Lavrus is trying to lure Lena to feed the brave, but I don't think Ellios's men will forgive him.
Will you let Lena live until she doesn't show up?
"I'll kill you then. Send the neck back to Lena. We need to let Lena know what happens if we turn down this invitation from Lawrence."
Lawrence answers naturally.
"Is my daughter good?
My daughter, Eulia, she must have been Lavruz's favorite.
The exact same is true of the Queen of Pacipa Air, who serves half-naked beside him.
There are several kingdoms in the Minnon plains ruled by the shadows of Lavrus.
The Pacipa Air Kingdom is one of them.
I hear that the Queen of the Kingdom of Pasipaea was presented to Lavrus by her father when she was still a princess.
"Why should I care about Eulia? I don't care what other sluts do to get Lena."
When Lawrence answers coldly, the Queen of Pacipa Air next to her shivers a little.
This Pacifier Air Queen will be used when the Goddess Reina is acquired. It seems that the person is well aware of the matter.
It seems, of course, that my daughter doesn't understand that. I remember a selfish face like my father.
I think my father loves me, but Lawrence will easily let go when he no longer needs it.
The same goes for Minotaur, a family member of Lavrus.
The Minotaurs are a species born between Lavulus and the human female.
So all Minotaurs are descendants of Lavrus.
But the treatment of the Minotaurs in Lavrus is slavery.
I will kill you if you defy my descendants. That's Lawrence.
So there's no point in saying anything to Lawrence.
"Is there anything else you want to say, Sarxis?
"... nothing. Make yourself at home."
I had no choice but to answer.
There are other ways to regenerate this flesh.
"By the way, it's Sarxis. In Eulia's story, there must be a woman among the brave. I want those women, too."
Lawrence laughs lewdly and asks. Absolutely greedy.
"Then I'll be fine. I'll leave it to Atlanakua."
"Oh, that ugly spider bitch. Then you'll be fine."
Atlanakua is watching the Temple of Lena in the Republic of Ariadia.
They'll let you know if there's any movement.
I can't do this Sarxis anymore.
I think so. Turn your back on Lawrence.
"Where are you going, Zalxis?
"For the wilderness. I'll be away for a while."
"Well, what do you want?
"Deadna's guy called me. He's on his way."
"Hmm... you think that snake queen is coming?
Snake queen Diadona is just like this Zarxis of Nargor.
Escaped from the hands of Modes, now hiding on a deserted island in the South China Sea.
"Do you care, Lawrence?
"Of course. The woman who used to hide herself moved, and I'm curious. Answer me, Zarxis. What's Diadonna doing here?
"I don't know. I'm going to ask that now."
"I see....."
That said, Lavrus is not interested.
Five layers of footage are streaming in front of him.
There are brave men there.
But I don't know anything about this Sarxis.
I thought so. I left this land behind.
◆ Dark Knight Croki
"Welcome, Croki! Thanks for coming!!
Transferring to the Republic of Ariadia is suddenly embraced by Shirone.
Lena had informed the warmaiden messengers in the temple that she was coming.
And when Lena grabbed her arm, she couldn't defy Lena and went with her to Ariadia, where Shirone was waiting.
After all, Lena's chest is huge, and she's pressing her chest against her arm. I can't shake it off.
When I realized I couldn't escape, I told Rijena in advance that I was coming here.
Regina and the apostles contacted Shirone, who was waiting in the room with the portal.
Shirone is not as big as Lena, but her chest is quite big. It presses against your face as hard as you can.
It's been a long time since I've been hugged by Shirone.
Now I'm not wearing a helmet, so the feeling of my chest comes directly to my face.
When did you grow so big when you were a little girl?
I am touched by the growth of childhood habits.
However, Lena forcibly pulls herself away from Shirone before she can fully enjoy her childhood growth.
"Hey, goddess Lena! What are you doing!!
Shirone protested, but Lena didn't move.
"Shirone... This is not the time to do such a thing right now. We have to help Raige as soon as possible."
Lena's words are quiet, but she feels angry in them.
I'm still worried about Reggie.
Raj is mad at Shirone for seeing dangerous eyes and not letting him feel it.
"That's right, Reggie, you're in danger... I saw Kuroki next time... I'm sorry, goddess Lena."
Shirone apologizes.
"But thank you so much, Croki. I'm really happy."
The smile of Shirone sighs.
I knew it...
I haven't said anything yet to help.
But I think I'm supposed to help Raige in the shirone.
"The goddess Reina. Would you mind if I took a moment?
It was a woman called Kaya who called out.
There are six women in this room: myself, Lena and Shirone, and Rijena, Kyoka and Kaya.
"What is it, Kaya?
"Why are you with Kuroki? In the first place, I don't think Lena was very helpful in helping Reiji. I was surprised to hear from Rijena."
A woman named Kaya looked at Lena surprisingly.
"That's a misunderstanding, Kaya. I'm worried about Reggie too. I have brought the Dark Knight with me to prove it. I'm quite overwhelmed to bring him in. Then Shirone, Kyoka, Kaya. Naturally, it is a secret that the dark knights of Nargor will help us. Is that good?
Lena nodded at the sirones.
It should never have been possible for me to be with Lena and the others who are hostile to Ellios.
Just like Haybos God and Tona, it's not natural that Lena is in contact with herself.
That's why we have to keep it a secret.
It seems that Lena keeps her presence with the Dark Knight a secret from the War Maiden under her command.
Therefore, only those in this room know that they are dark knights in this land.
"Really... I have a lot of questions. Kuroki came to the corner, so now I'm convinced."
A woman called Kaya has a backward look, but she is not convinced.
I am not satisfied with the situation either. How did this happen?
"Mr. Kuroki... I'd like to thank you too. I'm going to help you save oniisama."
A woman named Kyoka lowers her head to herself.
"Nothing... I'm that...."
I haven't said anything yet to help.
However, it is difficult to say that you cannot help me if I am thanked by a beautiful woman.
Kyoka looks straight at herself. I'm thrilled that a beautiful woman stared at me.
I want to get along with beautiful women, but I honestly don't like it.
"What are you doing, Croki?"
Shirone looks at herself from the side.
I want to say that there is no choice. I have hardly ever been thanked by a beautiful woman.
It can't be as flat as Rage.
"Kyoka... The Dark Knight is in trouble. Why don't you step away a little?
Did you know your situation? Lena split between Kyoka and herself.
My face is laughing, but I feel a little unhappy.
Separated Kyoka looks a little disappointed.
"Lady, I think I should thank you after saving Reiji. Let's get ready to go to the labyrinth."
"Ah, I see, Kaya. Okay, Mr. Croki."
That said, Kyoka and Kaya leave the room.
"I'm coming too, Croki. I have to contact Leelia."
That way, Shirone leaves the room.
"Kuroki, I must see the priest here, too. I'll talk to you later."
Lena also leaves.
The priest of this temple is the messenger of Lena's maiden warrior.
The Maiden of War under Lena is good as a warrior, but she is not good at covert operations.
But if you're an apostle, you don't stand out because you're a human.
It looks like Lena is hiding here. It would be better to have the Apostle take care of him than to have the angel take care of him directly.
And after Lena left, she and Rijena were left behind.
"Regina.... How's it going?
I ask anxiously.
"Yes, I'm doing very well. I met my lord, Milord...."
That's how Regina pulls a corner out of her head.
The two horns that grow from the left and right of Rijena's head are the same as the horns of the dragon.
And Rijena's eyes were shining gold. It's not a man's eye, it's a dragon's eye.
I feel sorry for seeing it.
Rijena has become her own messenger.
The messenger Rijena must have been influenced by the dragon inside her. It turned into a dragon lady, Meruzine, a type of dragon man dragon newt.
Meruzine usually looks like a human, but she can also look like a dragon and a human.
The Dragon Man is no longer a human being.
If it were true, I would grieve for being turned into a monster, but I'd rather be a messenger.
Regina was sent as an apostle to save her life.
That day, I drank Kuna's brewed tea and ran away.
The weakest of them, Rijena, could not stand her runaway and was on the verge of death.
However, I couldn't use healing magic, and Kuna, who could use healing magic, was in a state where she couldn't use magic.
That's why I sent Rijena on first aid.
I'm looking for a way to undo it, but I can't find it.
Shop Rijena.
Rijena looks happy to have met her.
I am happy that I cannot grieve for the situation I have been placed in.
I felt painful about that.
◆ Sword Maiden Shirone
"Master Shirone"
Kaya can stop me.
"What, Kaya?
I look back.
There are Kyoka and Kaya.
"This is your chance, Shirone. That silver witch doesn't seem to be here. Now is your chance to get Kuroki back. Don't miss this opportunity."
But I shake my head at the words.
For some reason, Croki is not with the silver witch. And for some reason, I came with Lena.
I don't know why. Like Kaya, I have a lot of questions.
But that doesn't matter. Croki came to help me. That's enough.
Besides, coming here to help me is still not entirely under control.
So maybe this is our chance to get Croki back. But....
"No, Kaya. I certainly want to get Croki back... Now, Reggie, you're in danger."
Sure, I want Croki back.
But now, Reggie, your lives are in danger.
It's no wonder Lena gets angry. You should focus now on helping Reggie. [M]
"Mr. Shirone is very polite, isn't he? I'm glad oniisama is prioritizing it, but are you sure you want to leave Kuroki behind?
Kyoka-san, who is with Kaya, says.
"It's okay, Kyoka-san. I will definitely get Croki back. But for now, Reggie, I'm just giving you priority."
And Kuroki will definitely come back to me. That's why I'm fine.
I started walking so that I could tell myself.
