Arcadia’s Labyrinth

The next morning, me and Leriana were on their way to the headquarters of the Labyrinth Saints, the recruiting site for the Twelve Labyrinth Expeditionary Forces.

The headquarters of the Labyrinth Saints exist near the northern district of the city… the castle of the Lords. For this reason, it was necessary to break through the residential streets of the nobles who had stopped high in order to head to the headquarters, and the adventurers who were heading to the headquarters, like us, seemed to feel subtly uncomfortable.

Incidentally, the North Side and other than that are usually provided with an examination by the gate, but all the examinations were taken care of during this emergency.

Well, on days when they were physically examined and so forth over this period, the basic outlaw adventurers would have bent their navels without exception and didn't want to join the expedition to see who was alone, so it could be taken for granted.

"With that said..., normally Leriana is trying to join the expedition, okay?

Unexpectedly on the road, I reminded Leriana that I had not clearly asked her if she would join the expedition until now, when I asked her to walk next door.

To my inquiry, Leriana tilted her neck properly,

"How come now?"

"No, Holla... I don't know if I need to bring him home."

The example guy, of course, refers to the "moonlight crystal of time flow”.

She was coming to the labyrinth city in search of this, and she should want to get it to the inside as soon as possible, more than she's got it.

I don't know where her hometown is, but at least it shouldn't be a day trip home.

I somehow thought she would accompany me in the stream, but now I realize that if a labyrinth flood were to occur, it would not be strange for her to give priority to ensuring delivery of the "Moonlight Crystal of Time Flow” to her hometown.

To my words, Leriana nodded like she was convinced, "Oh."

"I already gave that to the other guy. We're on our way inside by now, aren't we?

According to Leriana, Cubaš, who had come to this city to obtain the "moonlight crystal of time flow”, was not alone with her, but with several other breeding support personnel.

They said the breeding Cubash was responsible for gathering information while doing prostitutes, dancers, liquor store clerks, and helping Leriana get the "Moonlight Crystal of Time Flow”.

... Well, naturally, it's a natural story. Honestly, I thought there was no way to put the fate of a clan on one Leliana, the son of a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Rather, at this rate, then, the main focus of exploration would have been the breeding Cubans, and Leriana would have been the only combat personnel to come to it with force at the end of the day.

However, against expectations, Leriana would not have been expected to gather information, but she has gained a light "moonlight crystal of time flow”.

If you ask, the collaborator asks for Leriana as a consideration, and she is neither herself nor plagued by it.

The city's getting kind of rushed by the signs of a labyrinth flood, and maybe we should head back inside early?... It seems that such a discussion took place among the Cubans.

"That's why I asked the people inside to keep the gift and go back first. So Atashi is completely free now."

"I see."

Well, don't worry about that. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with the Cubans and the "Moonlight Crystal of Time Flow” is lost, you just have to get it again then.

Walking around talking about it, we arrived at HQ at some point.

The headquarters, qualitative but gigantic, were fortification-like buildings, and there was also a wide open space that would be a training ground, where many adventurers gathered.

... Yes, would it be easy to understand when it comes to buildings and grounds just like Japanese elementary schools, middle schools? It's like arranging that in medieval european style.

There were several rows of adventurers in front of headquarters who had not yet entered, and they seemed to be asking questions in a reception-like place.

Some of them seem to have eaten the gate foreclosure, and they go home viciously, but heavily.

Alongside Leriana, our turn turned quickly.

"Are you the Expeditionary Force hopeful?

The Saint Knights man at the reception asked that when he saw our gear - a medium-sized labyrinth class weapon.

... Hi, sounds like you're deciding if you want to pay up front with your gear.

This method could make noble bonbonbons and the like go bare...... well, I guess that will be judged by hand inside as well.

"If you've come to see the announcement, you know, this time we... hence what the administration is looking for is elite. something capable of breaking through at least twelve labyrinth-class labyrinths, which is conditional"

He nodded one when he saw me and Leriana nodding.

"Then name some of your names and cleared labyrinths in order of difficulty."

Somehow, he's a man who talks a lot. Maybe you're from the Knights? I also help that the top is His Highness Chris, and I hear that the Labyrinth Saints are many of noble origin. Either way, is it just the seclusion of the common people who feel a little arrogant and nosy......

Though I think that in my heart, I will answer honestly on the surface.

"My name is Alcaine, and the cleared labyrinth is The Starting Point of the Deceitful Demon Cat and The End Point of the Time Traveler."

"Atashi is Leriana, the cleared labyrinth is the same as Kane"

"Hmm?"

To me and Leriana's words, the Saints' man stopped moving a little.

"Was the Demon Cat... the thirteenth twelfth labyrinth... and the traveler of time was a labyrinth appearing on the map of the Demon Cat drop item. The difficulty of the labyrinth itself is a small labyrinth, but the strength of the enemy is a large labyrinth class......, okay, let's go inside"

"... you believe in self-declaration a lot easier"

When I said that unexpectedly because I was given a much lighter go sign, the Knights man laughed with his nose.

"Whatever you say, I didn't fully believe you. From now on, I'm going to test your abilities with skill, that's all."

So the conversation was over, and we were invited inside to blame.

"... so what do I have to do now? Am I supposed to wait here?

"... come on"

Though it was good to be let through, then when I looked around without knowing what to do, we were accidentally called by Leriana.

"Wow, you could be Leriana from the arena, right? You came to the expedition, too."

The Lord of Voices was a man with brown hair in his mid-twenties. He is dressed in Saint Knights-style light armor, with a sabel on his hips and a big bow on his back.

I decided to pierce my hair with a hair conditioner and pierce my ears. It was like saying, "Man of the city," and being from the country, I didn't like him at first sight.

"Huh? Who is it, Temehe?"

Leriana turned to the man who had called out in a light-hearted manner, but the man began to introduce himself with a hella and a laugh, without the wind he cared about.

"I'm John. I'm a fan of yours. They let me watch every game."

That's how she avoided the hand of the man who tried to slap Leriana on the shoulder in a motion that reminded her of a cat.

"You're not getting along."

John smiles bitterly and shrugs his shoulders. So I finally saw this one just saying it was his first time in the eye.

"Uh, could it be you... a Leliana party member or something?

Reliana tenses her chest to John's gaze.

"Atashi's partner."

"Dude? Huh, this guy... doesn't look that strong though"

I couldn't help but laugh at the man's words. [M]

This statement while I said I was watching every game earlier. It turns out I haven't really seen it. The servant Leriana also looks uncomfortably at John.

Unaware of it, he dwelt in his eyes the light of the plot and began to say this.

"Wow, how's this? I'm just now testing the strength of the hopefuls the group has gathered. He said he'd try a mock fight with me."

Hmm?

"You can see it, but there are still adventurers waiting in order. I think they're gonna wait a long time if we keep this up. That's where you're going to mock me and test me out."

John sees it as affordable when I show an intriguing gesture. [M]

"If you beat me in the active Saints, the adventurers around you have a glimpse. There could be some Saints scouts coming straight up, huh?

His eyes like that seemed to tell me that there was no way he could beat me.

Now what do we do?

I'm looking forward to what this man is thinking. Daimyo, I think you're going to beat me flashy in front of Leriana and take her heart away.

Damn, it's what a dumb man would think. It's a promise from the classics to show off their arms and try to dictate a woman, but doing that doesn't make a woman proud of a man who wins. You may have some affection for a losing man, but that depends on how you hang out until then. I don't even know that, which means that I've never really dated a woman.

In other words, a diagram is made that the man who takes this method = not hot.

Thinking about it, he's playing with everything. The atmosphere of the wind has looked hilarious all at once.

"So, shall we? By the way, where's Leriana?

"Oh, yeah, I got to lose it! Yeah, Leliana can pass just like that if you beat me. If you lose, it's me and the test."

I guess it's an operation to beat me thoroughly first and then make Leriana hold flowers while showing off her strength.

"Then why don't you go? Kane's like you, but he can't lose."

John immediately calmed down to that obvious Leriana word, which just as well attracted Pickle and his face, but he thought he would review it for that matter if he won immediately.

"Are you that strong? I'm looking forward to it. Let's go."

When I followed John to the training ground, it seemed like the Knights as Examiner had just finished exam the previous adventurer.

"Pass! All right, next!"

At that time, when he tried to call the next adventurer, John approached the man as an examiner.

"Oh, Bern. You must be tired. I'll take your place."

"Hmm?... John?... Hmm, I see"

The big man, called Bern, made John and us... snort small, especially when he saw Leriana.

And it's the usual, just saying.

"A glass of luxury."

That's what I said, slapped John on the shoulder, and Bern left the spot. Drop it off and John pounds bread and palms.

"Okay, let's get started. Whatever weapons are being erected there. It's a special magic trick, stealing the opponent's health instead of being able to hurt them. It's a weapon for mob crackdown, Knights. Then I'm using it for training."

Heh... and I took the simulator and looked at it.

It's a really sensible tool that only sharpens your health without hurting them. Is it something that is not sold commercially?... No, I can't. You can use this to exploit as much as you want for evil things like grabbing people.

I choose as many swords among them as the Demon Sword Soul Eater, and I turn back to John.

Around us, adventurers and cavaliers in waiting order watched us faraway and whispered to each other as they please.

"Which one do you think will win?

"Well, that would be John the active Knights"

John McCray from "Falcon Cut”? It's an iron plate. "

"... No, wait, I've seen him before. It's Alcaine who defeated Leriana in the arena."

"Oh, he's the one... But wasn't Leliana an under-20 star?

"Does that mean he's below level 20?"

"Well, then you just can't."

"If you're a Knights man, it's over 30."

Hmm, does the Lower Horse Review feel like John's win is confirmed?

My level is 27 now... no one would think that's all I'm up to in this short time.

Now the story seemed to sound like John too, and his expression was totally sure of the win. That was it.

He says sloppily with his sword pointing down.

"Are you ready? Then call me anytime."

"... then don't hesitate"

Apparently, he gave me the lead, and I decided to let him go with all the magic props.

The beginning means that the shrinkage is normally stepped in without using it and waves the sword toward the head.

John doesn't appeal to me to spare time or to be busy this time of year. Remains an extra look.

The sword is sucked into his head.... you still don't take defenses? Or the inherent skills of the defense system?

10 cm to the head...... 5 cm...... 1 cm.

(Ah... this, I just haven't been able to react)

When I finally realized that, the sword was slamming into his head with the sound of a dogon.

Will the effect of the magic prop convert all of the energy produced into fatigue, without John ever being wounded or blown away, but instead he

"Kehehe..."

He leaked a voice that could not even be taken as a dumb exhale, and collapsed from Ston and his knees.

Put aside a beat and the stain spreads in his groin with the sound of Showo......

... Apparently, the demon prop blow has taken away from his flesh until he has the strength to endure peeing.

After the venue had only been quiet for a moment as if to doubt my eyes,

"Wow!? What the fuck is that!? I didn't see you at all!

"Shit, Shimbe leaks. Oooh!! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

"Call me anytime, the instant kill from just laughed"

"Yay bei...! How much is that magic trick? This is not good! I'm gonna die of overwork! Bring the stamina potion, potion!

"John Zama! You hated him."

"Shame on the Knights... you're discharged"

Leriana slapped me in the back with bread as I raised various voices of amazement, ridicule, worry, etc.

"That's Kane! I knew it wasn't even that guy's fart!

After sending her victory blessing with a smile, she snuck her face to my ear.

"But you got stronger all at once, didn't you? What you were saying yesterday... this?

I smiled back vaguely at Leriana, who had just noticed my unusual power boost.

You can tell me my secret now, but I can't tell you exactly here.

When told so darkly with her eyes, she also withdrew without pursuing it in depth.

And a man called Bern comes to me like that.

"... uh, what. I know exactly what you're capable of. Show me a lot of that strength even in the expedition. And what about your girlfriend? If it means you and the party, I don't mind waiving the test."

His eyes looking at Flirting and Reliana were talking about what he would do if he wasn't up to the same standard as mine until Reliana, but I decided to get on with it without particularly solving that misunderstanding.

"Then please. Is that okay with Leriana, too?

"Hmm, I think I wanted to fight for a bit... something else"

"Oh, well... well, good to see you on the expedition"

... apparently has given him a slight sense of fear, but should we now consider that some of the purpose has been achieved?

The easiest and shortest way to become a bi-perfect courtship with His Highness Chris is to show strength in front of many people.

And it is most efficient to do so in front of a strong man to the extent that he can see the power of the enemy than in front of a people without great strength.

Therefore, I did not target me as a TUEE for the people in the arena, but rather as a TUEE for me in this gathering of these powerful people, so I targeted word of mouth from middle-aged and above adventurers.

Now there should be rumors that by the time the Expeditionary Force leaves, there will be powerful enough to instantly kill the Saints Knights among the adventurers.

And then, if the expedition team also achieves results, I will be able to help myself in the defense.

It might be a good idea to fight in the arena to push no. No... I knew it. There's no arena. I'm sure he'll do something weird again.

With that in mind, we were on our way home.
