Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Yoohyun listened to Liana and immediately headed to the temple. Anyway, the troubles were over, so it was better to get things done quickly. After being guided by the priest, Yoohyun slowly opens the door.

Iris remained in an unchanged position.

“I've seen you a lot lately. Nice to meet you, Yoohyun. ”

“We didn't meet for a very good reason last time. ”

I didn't say it with great intentions. But Iris thought differently.

Somewhere I had a dark expression and lowered my head a little.

“I'm sorry, but I didn't find out who the horsemen attacked Yoohyun. ”

“I heard that story from Liana. What she didn't figure out was that they were pretty thorough. I don't mean to resent you, so you don't have to worry. ”

The attack was ignorant, and the back was neat and gone.

At this point, I was beginning to wonder who Yoohyeondo were.

So I went around the streets a few times at night thinking I would like to attack again, but there has been no raid since. Then it was Yoohyun who became frustrated.

As Yoohyun, I didn't know what they were planning to attack.

“But I think there was something strange about this. Is that a story you can't tell me? ”

“... that's not true. ”

Iris has a thoughtful expression on Yoohyun's words.

Yoohyun decides to quietly wait for her decision.

From the look on, it doesn't seem to be a very light story.

She looked as though she had decided to do something for a while.

“Before I tell you, I want to ask you one question. ”

“What is it?”

Iris has Yoohyun in her eyes with her cold glowing eyes.

“What do you intend to do with your last deal? ”

“... is it up to me whether or not I can hear the story? ”

In Yoohyun's quick words, Iris nods without an answer.

Being blessed, it wasn't a simple thing.

“The blessing of fairies is not just a blessing. It's also a token of trust. If you receive my blessing, your relationship with Yoohyun will change a lot from what it used to be. ”

Yoohyun has a strange look on her face. I've never heard of such a story.

Exactly when Yoohyun was blessed, I never heard of this story.

At that time, we were blessed because we had a mutual interest.

Then why did Iris trust Yoohyun at that time?

While thinking about what happened before the regression, Iris kept talking.

“Even if I bless you, you need to trust each other in order for Yoohyun to receive the effect of that power. Yoohyun has to trust me, and I have to trust Yoohyun, too. Blessing power works. ”

“... what if you don't? ”

Iris smiles bitterly.

“Then blessings don't work. So when fairies bless, they bless themselves and their most intimate beings. because it's the most powerful effect. ”

“............. ”

The more I listened to her, the weirder I thought it was.

What did Yoohyun think of Iris before regression?

.. maybe that's when mutual trust culminates.

Yoohyun wanted to kill the adventurer, and Iris wanted to win the fight against the adventurers.

The objectives are not entirely the same, but the paths we have to make are the same.

Yoohyun didn't doubt Iris' movements because he knew it well. That would have been the same for her. Can we say that these forms were also trusting each other?

Yoohyun laughed.

What are you thinking about? Yoohyun's current pursuit was a powerful force.

You need a strong power to get down to the heart.

Yoohyun hates Iris or doesn't like him. I just know.

That's why I may have some confidence in her.

At least it will not interfere with the objectives pursued.

Yoohyun takes Lorelai's Dungeon Heart out of her arms. Iris' gaze converges with the appearance of a jewel still sprinkling bright colors. Yoohyun could see her nervous face.

According to the answer now, there will be a staggering sacrifice on that face.

“I've decided to accept the deal. ”

“... Right? ”

Iris takes a long breath and makes a relieved face. Yoohyun looks at her emotionally and gives her the Dungeon Heart she was holding.

Iris receives the Dungeon Heart carefully and smiles gently. As happy as she was, she smiled small. When I first saw that smile, Yoohyun looked at her with a bruised face for a moment.

Yoohyun wakes up and opens his mouth as he stares at her with his dungeon heart twitching.

“Then the deal is over. ”

“Yes. Then it's my turn to keep my promise. But before we bless you, I want to tell you a few things. It's an important story, so please focus. ”

As Yoohyun nodded, she immediately informed me of the precautions.

“Number one. There is only one blessing that can be received by one person. As long as you receive my blessing, it is impossible to receive the blessing of another fairy. ”

“Number two. The blessing of fairies is a contract, not a blessing. So when Yoohyun makes my blessing unnecessary, he needs my permission to get rid of it. On the contrary, I can't get blessings without Yoohyun's permission. ”

“Number three. My blessings may make other fairies hostile. ”

“Fourth. The power of Blessing can change at any time. Power goes up, power goes down. The power of blessing is constantly altered by the relationship between each other. ”

“Finally, my blessing is not eternal. Blessings disappear if I die. ”

Blessings are contracts. When one of them dies, the contract is forced to extinguish.

It was Yoohyun who died first in the last contract.

Until the regression, Yoohyun kept Iris's blessing.

“I can't easily imagine you dying."

“Right? But fairies are definitely dying, too. No one can predict what's going to happen inside the maze. Lorelai... just like her. ”

“Then at least I hope I don't die until I die. ”

Like hearing a strange story, Iris blinks and smiles.

“I'll try. ”

How many days have passed since we started tracking him?

The horseman tracker ran relentlessly to get out of Aria in Roberia.

Somehow, the darkness of the labyrinth that is seeping before their eyes welcomed them.

It was time for everyone to take a break and bite the moving food in their mouths.

“What makes you think that? ”

Edenmeyer turned his head. I saw the face of a man whose wrinkles were showing as a trace of time. He was the commander of the tracking squad. His name was Fontana. He was a fairly competent middle-aged man.

“I think about Roberia. This may be related to Roberia. If Nerini is right, this will be a very important task for me. ”

In Edenmeier's words, Fontaina blurred her expression.

“... Really. How long are you going to live to think of the dead? I thought it would be nice to live for yourself. ”

Edenmeyer shook his head.

“Roberia is not dead. ”

“Do you really believe that? ”

“Yes. Even fairies, even if other soldiers believe in Roberia's death, I don't. ”

Fontaina sighs in the air.

It's been a few years since I've been in charge of Edenmeyer. It's been about 10 years.

The child, who was a young boy, is now a healthy young man.

But there is one thing that has not changed over time.

Love for Roberia. Fontaina felt sorry for Edenmeyer, who never forgot Roberia.

Edenmeier was not so foolish as not to notice Ponterna's compassionate young gaze.

Even though he knew it, he ignored it. I'm used to it now.

Looking at the darkness of the maze, Edenmeyer speaks in a bold voice.

“I don't believe in Roberia's death because I still have my blessing. ”

“... but the power is gone. All that's left is a mark. ”

“Certainly the power is gone. But the important thing is that the blessing itself is not gone. Blessing doesn't go away, it's proof that she's not dead. ”

“..... you. ”

I tried to say something more, but Fontaina decided not to say it anymore.

This debate has been going on for years.

The fairies were convinced of Roberia's death.

But now it was stupid to come and deny that death.

Do you want to believe Roberia's death because they are fairies?

No one has seen her die.

Because all the soldiers who were guarding her were all dead.

Only Edenmeier survived that terrible disaster.

But he doesn't remember what happened then.

Fontaina, staring at Edenmeier with a complex snowflake, slowly stood up.

“Everyone must have had enough rest, so let's move again. Before they escaped completely. ”
