"Mm-hmm. We've been on foot for a while, but the maze's attack seems to have gone a long way. Congratulations."

I haven't talked to Lori God Cross in a long time now.

She's in a good mood to know we took down the 40 tier underground Reid boss.

It's been quite a while since the 30 tier attack.

It would be natural to rejoice that we have made considerable progress.

"Ha... but it was tough. What is that monster?"

That's what I said with a gentle breath to Cross smiling.

The Reid boss I fought this time was the first enemy I've ever seen killed.

The worse, the more it wasn't weird to sacrifice a couple of people.

"I don't care if you say so to me. The demon inside the labyrinth was placed by a witch, not me."

"Witch."

Well, it's natural that Cross doesn't mean he's positioning the first kill.

Because she's not the Lord of the Labyrinth, she's on the side of being imprisoned in the Labyrinth.

Even so, what kind of a witch is Cross talking about?

The game settings in "Cross Chronicle" only show the extent to which a wicked witch trapped the gods inside the labyrinth.

There's so much I don't know.

For example...... oh, so to speak.

"... Cross. I need to ask you something."

"Hmm? What?

"This also implies confirmation, but Cross wanted us to help ourselves, so he reincarnated us into Earth, didn't he?

So I remembered what I once talked to Kengo about and asked Cross.

"Hmm? Sure you're right. You said that the first time I met your Lord."

"Oh well. So what happens to us when we get through the labyrinth offense safely?

"What happens?

"I mean, if we attack the labyrinth, we'll disappear from this world."

"Oh, you know what?"

"Yugdrasil Post-Attack Ending Theory".

I've decided to make it clear to Cross here and now that the rumor is true and false that came out in the middle of talking to Kengo.

"I don't care. Well, if you want, you can't try to separate this world from the Lord's, and then we can't interfere with each other, but I won't actively eliminate you."

"Really?

"Unless the lords are the evil of this world, then no."

"Phew."

Depending on the extent to which evil refers, the way we put it, it sounds like we could still be in Earth after attacking the underground labyrinth.

Good.

I don't know. I have feelings for this world, too.

I didn't like it when you told me to get out of here.

"By the way, the same can be said not only about the bodies of your lords in earth, but also about the alien powers"

"And the anomaly?

"Um, it's out of my jurisdiction, but I gave it to you as a consideration for getting us out of here. Use it as you like."

Use it as you like, hey.

There better be no such thing as an imbecile, for Christ's sake, I don't know what to think.

"What? If you're unhappy, let me know."

"I don't know if I can say I'm dissatisfied, but if that's the price, I don't need it."

"Mmmm... did that happen"

When I answered honestly, Cross started giving me a troubled look while saying, "Hmmm..."

"To tell you the truth, this is only my personal view. Some of us are normal people who are happy to get a psychic."

Conversely, some guys, like me, didn't want any incapacity.

Nevertheless, it's a little pitiful to make you think the deeds you thought were good were just annoying.

So I gently followed up and decided to be in a cross mood.

"Well, there is the aspect that I originally gave the Genius to bottom up the Lord's ability to fight, and if I say it at my convenience alone, I have planted the Genius to increase the compatibility of the Lord's soul and the Earth in order to summon the Lord to Earth. I didn't just think of it as a reward for the lords."

"Heh."

What do you care? You had quite a number of reasons.

I've never known this before.

"So, what about the event that if we die in Earth, we lose our powers?

"It's not because I lost my connection to Earth. The Body of the Lord, created by Idea, the Creator, plays an important role in connecting Earth with the Earth. If it's lost, so is the incompetence."

I see.

Are our abilities and bodies in the earth essential for us to be connected to the earth?

Both of them are important, and neither can be made without them.

"So what about memory? It's a risk of losing it just as much as it's an incapacity."

"I'm going to ask a lot today. Well, I don't have time, so I don't have to answer."

When I asked the ghoulish question, Cross snorted in an upbeat manner, "Humph."

I asked him about it in Nori, but when he looked so dodgy, he wanted to say something idyllic without meaning.

Even though it just looks like it, if a child is good at revealing their knowledge, they won't be able to help but think so.

It's slightly reminiscent of the crawl.

He used to say, "You can't help it. Ha-ha-ha." I'll explain everything.

"As for the memory, it is an inexorable procedure to protect your souls when your Lord's body is extinguished. It's dangerous for the soul to understand the concept of death."

"Understanding death...?

"Bye. Once you understand death, your lords will die not only on Earth, but also on Earth."

We're not completely dead, even if we have zero HP.

If I tell you, I'm in a state of provisional death.

But if that state continues, I guess it means that the soul Cross says understands death.

That death in Earth could be involved in death on Earth is a futile story.

I'm a little worried about whether we should decide not to ask this or tell the teachers.

If you are perceived to be at risk of death poorly, you may be barred from logging into Earth.

"Rest assured. We also take due account of the area. Lack of memory is also a treatment that comes from such considerations."

"I hope so."

"... Well, just because the lords on Earth die, doesn't mean they do because they're in trouble even if they die so easily. Besides, your bodies and souls are closely connected. If you are close to death many times without putting it between you, you will also deny the possibility that there will be more negative effects on your soul."

"Heh, heh."

You're an honest guy.

Because this is how I talk about things I don't have to tell you, even though I can't tell you.

I don't know how far I can believe it, but at least it doesn't look like I'm lying to Cross.

You can believe it.

"... let's get back to it. In conclusion, we acknowledge the Lord's existence, and we gave him every grant we could. So, the lords don't give a shit and keep exploring the labyrinth."

"It's not like I cared. It's just that those worried people care about that sort of thing."

"Hmm... you mean the ones who are negative about exploring the labyrinth?

When I told him that it wasn't me who cared, Cross sighed, "Huh..." with a sinister face.

"You know... because it's God, naturally"

"No, I don't know the details. There are limits to what I know."

You're God, but you're not as versatile as ever.

Sometimes I want to say if you're really God.

Maybe the meaning is slightly different between God in Earth and God on Earth.

I don't even know if there's a god on earth, and this whole place is going to give me a headache, so let's not think about it.

"Then somehow I know that your organization is ignoring me."

"... were you aware of that"

"Because of the limited means of contact, some parts are unavoidable, but as far as my presence is concerned, I have no choice but to judge it so."

Does that mean Cross isn't stupid either?

I'm not stupid because I'm a god, and I have trouble being stupid.

"So, is Cross angry about that? Then I'll bow my head on behalf of the Earthlings."

"Good. I don't care if you keep your head down."

Surely, no matter how much my head goes down, it doesn't have the effect of quelling things like God's wrath.

Then we'll talk about who should bow their heads.

"In the first place, I'm not angry. It's a little late to start, but we're starting to explore the labyrinth, and Earth's security seems to have improved somewhat thanks to you."

You seemed like a pretty big god, as long as you looked tiny.

Rather than being rich in emotional expressions, it is a shocking fact that they also had such aspects.

"... Lord, have you considered being rude now?

"You read my thoughts...? You've never hidden that power before."

"Write that on the face of the Lord."

"Gu..."

I didn't expect to see through my poker face.

Lori, you're not insulting me.

... I wonder if what I'm thinking is that easy on my face.

If people keep telling me this, I'm going to get a little sick.

"Fair enough. Anyway, I'm not mad. That's why the lords want you to continue exploring the labyrinth as always."

"Oh, yeah, of course. Leave it to me."

I laughed bitterly at the cross, which was slightly dizzying.

Whatever it is, I'm glad you didn't seem angry.

"... Huh, I haven't talked to you in a while, so I'm getting a little tired"

"Well, then I'll keep it around here today"

Cross said he was a little tired, so I decided to go back to everyone.

"I think we'll attack in less than 50 tiers, so stay tuned."

"I hope so."

I'll be leveling on a Reid by Reid basis again for a while, but I'd like to do an underground 50 tier offense as soon as possible.

"Yeah, well, speaking of which, will your lord continue to act with the guild and the bunch of them?

"... for once. But why are you asking me that?"

"Because I care about my Lord. Though by chance, I feel destined to be able to have this conversation with your Lord. Such a lord seems to be in a good mood here lately. It's only natural to think about why."

Looks like the outgoing cross was watching me a lot.

Sure, I might say I've been enriched lately.

I would say that the full reason has to do with my joining the [Meteor Party].

It's fun to fight with your people.

Besides, the more buddies you have, the more fun you have.

We decide to treat Earth as a real, not a game, but in this respect we still have a feeling as a game.

Originally, I wanted fun like hanging out with everyone, so I put it in the nettle, so I guess this is normal.

"See you then. The next time I see you, I'll bring you a souvenir story about the Underground 50 Hierarchy Strategy."

"Uhm. Then travel again, O summoned and seeker from another world. I will wait for you, believing that your lords will come and help me."

That's how I said goodbye to Cross and flew my consciousness to Earth.

"Hey! It's late!

"What have you been up to! Sin!"

"Oh, bad, bad"

I came to Earth, and Navata and Karajima were yelling at me.

It's all natural to get involved with these guys.

These days Navata is breathing when she's bound to participate in the next Reid fight, and Karajima seems to be having a hard time partitioning one pair of guys.

"Totally...... we should all have logged in at the same time"

And that's what Mina said as she gently swelled her cheeks.

Apparently, everyone but me had a full assembly.

Have you stayed a little too long at Cross's?

"Sometimes this happens. Never mind."

Don't tell me about the cross.

I don't want people to think I'm weird anymore.

"Speaking of which, you were late when you first came to Earth in class, weren't you? You're gonna be late when you meet up, aren't you?

"I don't have that kind of crap. You really don't care."

The ice room came after me.

Surely even then, I was a little late to rendezvous with my classmates because I was seeing Cross.

It's an old story now, but did the ice room ever remember such a thing?

You have a good memory for nothing.

Use that somewhere else.

"Okay, so it's finally all about getting together, and it's time to leave"

And so Yumi summed up the story and looked out of town.

We're going on an expedition for Leveling.

Although not power leveling, it's similar to what the [Black Dragons] used to do.

Leveling inside the labyrinth is fine, but I'm in the mood to keep going underground.

By the way, this expedition will be conducted by all [meteor parties].

Of course, that includes me.

I officially became a member of the [Meteor Party] at the launch after attacking the Labyrinth Underground 40 tiers.

Because everyone in the Alliance has been pushing for me to join.

Everyone includes not only two sets of members, but also one set of members.

They admitted to me that I was faking my powers.

Apparently, my helping Karadzima in the Laid Boss battle worked well and that's how it went.

I couldn't anticipate this development because I thought I might be slapped on the matter of alien powers.

That's why I joined the [Meteor Party].

Thank you to everyone who sees me as a companion.

"The next target level is 60 on average. Yikes! Keep up the good work!

"Oh-ooh!

I rode Mai's hanging voice and walked out of town on the road.

I've had company before, but I've got more on this one.

It's been a dozen increments, and some of them may not have recognized me yet.

But both of them, I believe, will take the time to understand.

Whatever it is, we're one of them.

"Hmm? Did something good happen? Sing-kun."

"No, nothing!

Sakya, who was right around the corner, asked me as I tilted my neck, so I gently clouded it.

I'm ashamed to say what I just thought.

I got my cheeks hot and walked faster.
