Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Returning First Players

Since then, Yoohyun has been taken to the guards, of course. I wasn't badly treated because I didn't resist much else, but I have to say a lot. Yoohyun had to make an explanation every time.

Traces of fighting were quite violent. There were no bodies in the street, so the guards didn't believe Yoohyun at first, but there were traces of flaming fire everywhere, which allowed me to resolve some doubts.

There are many traces of magic left to be seen.

However, several investigations had to be carried out.

The story of being attacked by a horseman was quite serious.

In other words, it was a situation where you could tell other dungeons that Roberia had been attacked. The Horseman was not merely a creature.

Eventually, Yoohyun couldn't go back to the inn and had to spend a late night with the guards.

Instead, Yoohyun was dragged to a temple, not a detention center. Even in the late hours, the priests were moving diligently inside the temple, and when the guards brought Yoohyun, everyone looked suspicious.

Speaking of the circumstances, the priests brought fairies.

“... I didn't expect to see you again like this. ”

Yoohyun was forced to smile when Iris showed up with an awkward smile. But I'm still a little relieved. Fortunately, we have a communicating opponent.

“I've heard stories from soldiers. You said you were attacked by a horseman... Really? ”

“Ah, it's true. They've been attacking us on their way back to the inn. ”

As I checked, Yoohyun nodded without hesitation.

Then Iris looked up and laughed.

“But that's strange. How does Yoohyun know about the Horseman? ”

So far, no horseman has appeared before the players.

There is not even a horseman in Roberia. It was impossible to see a horseman by chance.

That doesn't mean I saw him in Lorelai.

Lorelai didn't have a horseman. The magic circuit needed to make the Horseman was one that required considerable skill. It's hard to think that Lorelai has that skill.

Yoohyun also struggled to answer Iris's question, but roughly he could.

“Through the book, okay. There's a kid in the group who likes books. ”

“Oh, you mean flammable. ”

Yoohyun, who guessed without difficulty, stared at Iris as wonderfully.

I think I got this from Lute. It was long ago that Lute joined the party by order of Iris. A secret, not a secret.

In that relationship, Yoohyun was dealing with Lute as a party member.

His power was useful, and now there was much to come and throw away.

“Anyway, I don't know if you know Yoohyun well, but this is serious. ”

When the question was solved, Iris said with a serious face.

Her eyes are faintly shivering with cold stiffness.

This is completely unexpected. Why did the Horseman come to Roberia?

Iris stares at Yoohyun with a blurred vision.

There seems to be no major wound. The Horseman wouldn't have been a lightweight opponent.

I wonder where his power started.

First of all, it's about the Horseman.

“There are no horsemen in Roberia. So what the Horseman showed up here is a troop flowing from another dungeon to Roberia. ”

“Is that Roberia's hostile force? ”

“.... maybe. However, I can't think of any dungeons right now. ”

Roberia remained largely peaceful with everyone. Even though it is not a dungeon belonging to Irias, I have maintained relations without great discord.

That's why Iris had a headache.

“The magic the Horseman used was fire magic. The starter is‘ Sapera ’. ”

All the magic used by horsemen belonging to the same group are united.

The magic that you draw when you implement magic, and the starter sound.

If you own the same magic circuit, everything is the same.

Just because Yoohyun knows the magic starter of the horseman helps to track the opponent to some extent. Iris nods and remembers Yoohyun's words.

“Now that it's too late, I'll ask the Spirit of Earth to investigate in the morning. ”

“Then I should go back like this? ”

“Yes. Please move with the guards, just in case. ”

Yoohyun frowned. There is no problem returning without a guard.

If you reveal yourself again, you just kill him.

“... I don't really need to. ”

Yoohyun shakes his head and says,

“No, but please take me with you. ”

Iris rarely gives strength to his eyes, and Yoohyun nods.

*

About an hour after Yoohyun disappeared, Iris called Nerini Irias.

Nerini, who flew quickly to Iris' call, bowed politely. I was quick to see if the guards had been aware of the situation since I came to the temple.

“You called, Iris. ”

“Let me ask you one question. Nerini Irias.”

It was a bold voice, but Nerini felt a strange pressure.

Is there something wrong with you?

Nerini slowly raises her head as she feels her whole body tightening in the cool eyes of Iris.

“Are you involved in this? ”

“What about this? ”

“It's about what happened tonight. ”

Nerini shakes her head with a calm face.

“This has nothing to do with me. ”

“So what were you planning? I've been told there's been some strange movements lately. ”

“... were you watching me? Yellow!”

Nerini lowers her head as if she were just touching the floor. Iris' eyes are still cold looking at it. Nerini feels her body trembling in the eyes of Iris.

Nerini was a little surprised. But I felt strangely better.

Iris was watching herself, and that pleased Nerini.

Feeling an exhilarating melody, Nerini lowers her head and opens her mouth with a small smile.

“I was just preparing for Lee Hyun to be blessed by Iris. ”

“I was preparing... what exactly are you talking about? ”

“It's about growing up so that Yoohyun is not ashamed of being blessed by Iris. ”

When Nerini spoke with a single smile, a fine gold appeared on Iris' cold face.

He had a procrastination, Nerini thought he would be blessed.

Like a child who asked for praise, Nerini blinked, and Iris smiled awkwardly. You can't be mad at that.

“You don't have to do that. Because without that, he'll be good at it. ”

Yi Hyun, Iris' idea of this man is complicated.

But at least there is no reason to be hostile, that was the judgment now.

Lute was very highly regarded for Yoohyun, and favorable.

Every time I received a report, there were stories about compliments.

Nerini blurs her face as if she can't do that to Iris.

“You can't do that. As long as you are a man blessed by Iris, you must shine more than anyone else. No strength, no honor. Everyone."

“... you won't listen to me? And he hasn't received my blessing yet. ”

It was the first time Nerini didn't listen to me like this, so Iris was a little surprised.

However, the awkward smile does not easily disappear. Strangely, I'm not angry. That's because it's Nerini, too.

She's too loyal. So it's not easy to predict what to do.

“I'm sorry, but I can't back out of this. I intend to make him more famous than anyone else. at least the most famous of all the players summoned in this maze. ”

... all players summoned within this maze.

That means not only Roberia, but other dungeons.

I didn't ask until then. Iris takes a short sigh.

“Make sure you move in the right line. ”

“Thank you.”

Nerini lowers her head even further as permission falls.

But that too for a moment.

Nerini stares at Iris with her head carefully raised.

“It's a short time, but I've been thinking a little bit about this. Would you like to hear it? ”

Nerini's face, which was so deep that even a pale shade could be seen, was completely different from what she had just seen. Iris nods.

“According to Yi Hyun, the starter used by the horseman was Sapera. ”

“Right. Did you find out which dungeon horseman? ”

“No, that's not it. But when you think about this, there's something that comes to mind. ”

Nerini's eyes with her head change quickly.

The unconditional look of loyalty towards Iris has become a dark eye that carries a heavy hatred.

Living wasn't for Iris. Her eyes are not looking at Iris.

What she's looking at is something unidentified that's not here right now.

The sensation of changing the air quality without sound is unpleasant.

Though rude, Iris waited for Nerini to say.

Iris felt for a long time in her life.

Wait for her to express her emotions.

Then Nerini opened her mouth with a low voice.

“My vague expectation of immaturity is that this may be related to the death of Roberia Irias. ”

I changed it to a reserve order.

I was wondering if there were any better words. Hmm. Nothing comes to mind.
