Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

What Yoohyun did during the meeting was explain the dwarf.

Misha wanted to tell the players about the dwarf.

Thinking about it, she wasn't really familiar with Dwarves, so she couldn't really explain it to the players. I'm glad I didn't spill any strange information.

After all, I'd rather see for myself what Dwarves are like. I was wondering where they were hunting, so Yoohyun suggested checking where they were hunting.

Yoohyun's comments were accepted without difficulty.

In the first place, the players were wondering how they had slaughtered the Iron Horn. That's why I'm going to set up an investigation team in the morning.

“But Yoohyun. Are the Dwarves that strong? Is that black steel or are they doing something? ”

On the way back to the inn, Yoohyun nods at Shinohara Ryoko's question.

At least it was clear that the players couldn't handle it now. In the first place, it was ridiculous for players who didn't have a job to deal with because they were users of the Overed Weapon.

‘How many numbers? ’

Dealing with them eventually became Yoohyun's job. Even if you can deal with two at once, it makes no difference if you're three. Killing one had to give the body a lot of weight.

Having actually killed a Dwarf, the excessive magical power consumed the arms and legs. It was the right answer to defeat Millini with strength, agility, and both.

“Hmm. But you're amazing. ”

Ryoko, who was walking in a light step next to him, suddenly stopped walking and looked at Yoohyun. Reach out and draw a circle with your finger on Yoohyun's chest.

The gesture seemed to provoke a man, but her eyes were serious as she looked up. Yoohyun noticed that her gesture was simply to erase her emotions.

A weak fear that looks beyond a serious pupil.

Now her gesture was nothing but an act to hide her fear.

Ironically, Ryoko, who had no words, slowly opened his lips.

“So what do you think? Tell me the truth about our situation. ”

Yoohyun paused to think. There are more negative than hopeful observations.

One word that will come out eventually.

“I'd say it's the worst. Otherwise, you might want to think about abandoning this place and running away. ”

“Yes..? ”

Yoohyun's answer blurred Ryoko's expression.

It would not have been a word he spit out without thinking. How many times have you looked at the situation and told me the truth?

That's why Ryoko said in a trembling voice, as if he was a little bit afraid.

“.. when will there be contact from Roberia? ”

“Well, that's unknown to anyone. The period I originally thought of was a month. ”

Yoohyun's voice was bold. I wish there was contact from Roberia before something happened, but Yoohyun was thinking a lot about not doing so right now.

“Well... I'm glad. ”

Suddenly Ryoko smiled. What? It was before Yoohyun even spoke.

“I'm so glad you're here. ”

Ryoko immediately erased the feeling of fear from his face and ran somewhere, whispering in a sweet voice, tempting with sparkling eyes.

What happened now?

Thinking about it, I was staring at her back with a nice face.

“Hmm? Are you done with your work? ”

Gil Yumi, who bought a lot of things in his arms, came back and talked. I was still staring at Ryoko with curious eyes.

Yoohyun looks away from Ryoko and stares at Gil Yumi.

The luggage she's carrying looks pretty heavy. What the hell did he buy?

“What is that? ”

When Yoohyun asked, Gil Yumi smiled and replied.

“This? Things to eat in the inn for a while. I like the other kids pretty much. ”

Speaking of which, she showed me some of the things I bought, and I'm sure there were tons of things that the kids had tasted before. Among them, dried fruit was popular.

Gil Yumi's expression is brighter than usual after thinking about resting for a while. Even if I look at her face, I think of her lying in bed all day long, squatting in her head.

But what do we do? Her plans in that regard would necessarily be cancelled.

'I'm so sorry.'

It was Yoohyun who said he had been staying in the inn for several days.

Because he knew it well, Yoohyun was concerned about how to tell me what happened today.

I'm sorry to say it with a single smiling face... but I couldn't hide it.

“I'm sorry, but I have to cancel what I said for a few days. ”

“...... Huh? ”

I felt like I heard a lightning bolt somewhere! The face that was smiling brightly became a stone. It's like standing there and fainting.

It must have been that big a shock. Yoohyun picks up the apple-like fruit that rolled from her arms and puts it back in her paper bag.

Yoohyun only returned to the inn with a faint path and repeated the same story.

As a result, the group's reaction was similar to Gil Yumi's.

*

There was a slight commotion, but there was still nothing I could do. Yoohyun led the party and joined the Investigation Group.

There were quite a number of people gathered at the entrance to the town to move to the Investigation Group. You must have wondered how the Dwarves hunted the Iron Horns.

“We're going to move as fast as we can, so you should all be nervous. ”

Prior to leaving, Misha empowered the players. Her party members gathered alongside her to create tension.

This time Misha, who knows the way, decided to become a captain and move in front of him.

After confirming everyone was together, Misha moved on.

A long line followed Misha's back, and in three days she made her way through Aria.

Misha and the players head out to the maze and into the canyon where they say they saw the dwarf without great risk. Misha remembered not forgetting the path she had taken, even though it was a one-time pass.

She said she could go fast enough in half a day at first.

But that was wrong.

“..... closer than I thought. ”

Thinking about the time it took to get to the canyon, Misha bites her lips. The gorge where Iron Horn was massacred was closer to Lorelai than I thought.

Other players noticed that and made a bad face.

Anyway, the purpose of coming here was to investigate. Players began to investigate the canyon, each divided into two groups. Where the dwarves came from and where they went.

Then some looked down at the canyon and identified the bodies of the Iron Horns.

Among them were Yoohyun's group. When I heard Misha's explanation, the dwarves seemed to have used the bomb, so I wanted to see if it was real.

“... is this the smell of gunpowder? It must have been a few days since I left, but I still have a lot of spicy smells. ”

Song Ga-yeon said, clogging his nose.

The smell of mackerel coming up from beneath the canyon. It was an unusual smell that had never been smelled in a maze before. Tons of explosive traces remained on the walls of the canyon.

The bodies of the Iron Horns were also in dire condition.

“Absolutely. It's incredible. Those called Black Steel. ”

Lute, who was next to Song Gyeonggin, also looked down the canyon as interesting as his eyes.

I didn't think the gunpowder weapon I just heard was this great. The traces left by the Dwarves from the magical position were quite interesting.

Looking at the traces that remained everywhere, it felt as if dozens of wizards were simultaneously casting a spell. But this is the result of a handful of dwarves.

I feel creepy about that fact.

It was when Yoohyun glanced at the traces that remained in the canyon.

“Yoohyun.”

I heard Langshashen singing in a trembling voice.

I turned my head and somehow saw Langshashen's face, which was very dark.

But the important thing was that her face was dark and not like that.

It was her eyes. Her eyes turned colorless, resembling a gray light.

"The future?"

That's what happens when she's using the future.

Yoohyun frowned on his forehead.

“... what are you looking at? ”

She shoots her lips. It's like you're reluctant to talk.

I'm terrified. I was frightened by the appearance of my usual sharpness without seeing it.

I was shaking my head and hugging my shoulders to see if my body was cold. Yoohyun couldn't stand to watch her like she was about to break like a piece of glass right now.

“Wake up. ”

Yoohyun grabs Langshashen's shoulder and sheds his magic power. With the youthful energy coming from his shoulders, Langshashen lifts his head as if awake.

“...... Ah. ”

From there, the color of Langshashen's eyes returned to its original form. The colorless pupil returns to black, as the futuristic time is cut off. At the same time, Langshashen stared at Yoohyun.

The pupil who couldn't say anything and trembled soon regained calm.

Yoohyun is in front of me. The fact was enough to scare Langshashen away. Suppressing the tremor that had started from deep inside, Langshashen took a long breath.

Yoohyun asks after seeing Lancashen return to his usual appearance a few minutes later.

“Are you okay now? ”

“... Yes. It's okay. I'm sorry for the way you look. ”

Langshashen bows his head. Then he had a deep sunken face.

This time, she says without hesitation.

“... I saw a bad future. I hope that adventurers will have such a future in storming Lorelai. ”
