When Kim Noisuke visited Eugene's house, there was a dark smell outside the house.

"Hello, Kinosuke?

When I opened the door and went inside, Eugene was just about to boil the ingredients of the pills in a large pot.

"Which is Kinosuke?... Oh, what happened to that arm?

"I had a little hemp in the labyrinth. I broke my bone yesterday."

"That was tough. Looks like you've been treated, but are you off for a while?"

"Yeah, I was told it would be fully healed in about twenty days. It's been like this for a while."

With that said, Eugene deepened his wrinkles and told Kinosuke.

"Maybe it's time for God to give you a break. In that case, I don't think you should rush into anything else."

"Yeah, that's what I thought, so I got my pill making skills."

"What?! You broke your bone yesterday, and you already did?

"Yeah. I don't have anything to do anyway."

Kinosuke thought it was his fault while talking to Eugene.

"Your time seems to be moving faster than ours. So why don't you help me with my work? The best way to remember the procedure is to move your hands rather than think with your head."

"Yes. Actually, that's what I'm here for."

"Really? Then come here. Treat him as a temporary apprentice."

"Thank you."

Eugene gave Kinosuke a spinning stick and told him to stand in front of the pan. I teach Kinosuke how to make pills as I tell her how often and how much strength to put into it.

"Um, it's not time. … try your skills here. Put your hands together for use, yes. Be aware of your skills... oh, success."

The separation of the drooling liquid that was in the pan proceeded in an instant.

"Is it true? It's the first time I've used my pill making skills."

"I guess we can do it a little quicker if we get used to it. See, next trip before it gets cold."

"Yes...... by the way what is this made of?

"I'm making a panacea for mild diseases. Even so, it is not a cure, but a remedy to build strength and cure the disease quickly, so no dramatic effect is expected. But when I first put fire in the kettle, the neighbors came to ask for medicine, so I made it like this."

"That's all they're counting on, right?"

"Come on. I don't care if you think of old people as short as old people."

"I'm still fine."

When Kim Noisuke was in Japan, he was still quite an elderly person, carrying raw cones and such at the scene.

It doesn't look strange whenever you fall down, and you can use it better than the youngster you've been in lately.

"I probably won't be that long. Then I'll give you this equipment just like you, so will you take care of yourself?

"I'll take care of it. But how many more years are you still going to be active?

"Hope won't be like that in twenty years. Like eighteen years?"

"No, no, you can't have nineteen years, can you?

"Really?

So we both laughed a lot.

After helping me create a pill that day, I was told to get some recipes and remember until the next time I came.

Eugene was old and pretty much so on the last one. Kim Noisuke was going to help tomorrow.

When I stopped by Labyrinth Management on my way home, they would begin exploring the abandoned castle, which was made eleven levels today, and a meeting on measures to secure it as a base camp.

"That's quick..."

Often in Japan, the bureau can be frustrating, such as heavy hips at any cost and not moving no matter how long it waits, but I think Kiyonosuke is wrong.

The bureau moves quickly to be profitable and is not profitable, which means it can be heavy on the hips about having a budget.

The same was true here, and Kim Noisuke thought that because exploring abandoned castles would be profitable, it would be quick to act.

Ask him how, he's going to build a moat and use that soil as a wall. It has been confirmed that there will be no cardi gushing in the building, so he says he intends to block it with dirt walls where it is likely to be penetrated.

Kim Noisuke understood that it was for this reason that Elev was being called yesterday.

You won't even be able to take amateur craftsmen to the depths, so you'll let them form a detachment party at Explorer to build a defensive wall while using Abandoned Castle as a base.

"Uh, I'd like to go again."

When I hear the story, it comes as a quail, but my doctor has told me to ban the fight until it's healed.

Unlike Japan, doctors have strong authority around here. If I don't listen to much, the management will report it to me and I won't be able to use Naruto.

People who don't follow the rules on the ground don't follow them more in the labyrinth, so for all kinds of safety, they were not allowed to use Naruto on people like that.

So I think the explorers who live here follow the rules better than the average resident.

"Broken arms, I wonder if they will heal quickly..."

Kinosuke followed the Labyrinth Management Department with the thought of getting his hair pulled back.

Eugene seems to be too old to go on making pills for more than half a day.

So Kinosuke decided to go outside the labyrinth city and hunt for Cardy for time not taught by Eugene.

Although LV10 is the best around the Labyrinth City, it was about the strength of the Demon Shatter (Demon Shutter).

Hunt on the field before and after going to Eugene's every day and collect materials while using appraisals.

Other than that, I spent time remembering recipes for the creation of pills and talking about a world without other love at Wolf's place.

On the fifth day after Kinosuke started making pills, it's been a long time since Elev came back.

They've been on eleven layers so far, and for a tough Elev, I saw unusual fatigue.

The dirt walls are already about half complete, and the organisation in the abandoned castle is taking place sequentially, apparently.

Especially since they were able to install toilets. Until then, they were out of the abandoned castle when they added to their needs.

In the last five days it seems that the ground was ready to remodel the inside, and they intend to let the second repair team bring a lot of luggage.

For example, beds where large numbers of people can rest have already been ripped apart and carded, and there are other things that have the doors ready for new ones, or authentication devices to prevent cardies from entering when no one is around?

Starting tomorrow, Elev says he's going to dive to eleven layers with them again.

"When are we going to be back next?

"(in five days)"

"... that's tough"

Originally hired by Labyrinth Management for a long time, Elev seems accustomed to responding to requests from these departments, and is not particularly dissatisfied.

However, it seems that drinking is forbidden in the labyrinth, and Elev's eyes were moistened only when he spoke about it.

And when Elev made his second return after he went out to repair the abandoned castle, and Kiyonosuke also began to experience the recovery of his broken arm, it came to pass.

"Please, say it's okay now."

Kim Noisuke had been complaining to the doctor day after day that he could use Naruto, but the doctor didn't shake his head vertically as hard as he could.

Elev will be back in a few days.

This is the final time to repair the abandoned castle, which means that if Elev returns, that castle will be open to the general searcher.

The doctor insists that permission will be given in seven days, but Kim Noisuke's physical sensation is already fully healed.

No matter how many times you complain about it.

"If you can't dive this far into the labyrinth, you really have withdrawal symptoms."

I get out on the field every day and move my body, but I still feel like it's not enough at all.

If anyone else sees Kim Noisuke, he's a fine combat maniac (Battle Junkie), but he doesn't realize it at all.

The present condition, in which the desire to fight, not for life, is causing the body to quail, is just a withdrawal symptom. I might have said "calm down a little" if Elev was here.

"Do you want to make pills at a time like this?"

Recently, he left the creation of pills to Kim Noisuke alone, so he is in the process of creating various kinds using the materials that Kim Noisuke has.

I know on my own. I tried to open the door to Eugene's house...... but it didn't open. It was locked.

"Is that it? Is it a holiday? Or it sounds like you're out."

In this world without cell phones, there is a faint sense of time to put something together.

Even if we try, we often get in the wrong place.

Kim Noisuke thought today's plans were crazy, but he went to the field to get stressed out.

But the doors of Eugene's house remained stiff closed the day after and the day after that.

"That's just crazy."

Eugene's house is quite large because it is a bungalow. It also becomes a vertical residence with several house walls stuck together. Quite another person lives on the left and right.

This is close to the long house that was in the old Edo period.

For security reasons, it is not possible to go around behind the house, but it is possible with Kinosuke.

"I'm worried, I'll go"

Kim Noisuke had only entered the store, but knew Eugene lived behind it.

Look up at the roof.

"Okay, no problem"

He jumped on a light business and went straight to the back of the house, passing on the roof.

"I see, you have a backyard"

Although narrow, there was room to dry the laundry and plant a little green.

Kim Noisuke stepped down there and put his hand on the drawer.

The door opens without a sound.

"I'll Grandpa"

Walk in a dim room. Kinosuke called out because there were signs in the back.

"Mr. Eugene? Kinosuke."

Clarifying his ears, he heard a small voice.

"You're coming in."

When I opened the door, Eugene slept in a qualitative room with a bed and a writing desk.

"Mr. Eugene, are you okay?

In a rough breath, Eugene stared at Kinosuke.

"... I wonder how much he slept"

"The key on the surface was closed for about three days."

"Well... I used to have a little illness, I was deluded by medication, but it seems like it's time for the limit. No, I guess that means the sin is over."

……

"I used to open a pill store in this town. Ur was still a pretty girl, too. I was doing a store number here. I guess that's when I took it to my apprentice."

"Yes... was it"

"I don't know when it was, but there's a nasty sickness near here. It was likely to spread momentum throughout the labyrinth city soon. Ur was just around that time alone as a potion shop, and he was desperate to treat him. I made potions without getting any sleep at all. But I ran away with a little medicine that I made myself. I left this city labyrinth alone."

Eugene's confession seemed to speak to Kinosuke, remembering his own past.

"I have something to do.... you know what a selector is?

"... no"

"After all, it seems that the younger ones are no longer known. The Chosen One is the one who determines the king of the next people, and I was the Chosen One of them. Whoever the selector chooses can be a king's candidate and become king when he wins the test from God. I couldn't have fallen ill because my self-card had that selector on it."

Eugene wiped her arms weakly and showed her self-card to Kim no Suke.

But I didn't see a mark like that anywhere.

"You don't have it now, do you? Because of his old age, among kings, he returned his qualifications as a selector. That qualification moves to those who can discern reason and judge fairly, but even returning the qualifications of the electors is an act that renders God unwilling in the first place"

That would be so.

In Japan, many devout people pray to God and Buddha who don't even know if they are there. God in this world is certain. Kim Noisuke also finds that rejecting that God-made system by man is never to be praised.

"But when the three princes stood, and the struggle to determine the next king began, I had already lost the power to put it in public. He was already just a recluse. Will you confess from here on out, Kim no Suke, or will you do me a favor?

It is the request of the old man, who said that the old man was short.

I didn't have the option to say no to Kinosuke.

"... Yes"

"If you ask, you can't turn back any more. Still?"

"……………………… Yes"

Hearing the words, Eugene was relieved or her complexion slightly calmed.

"I returned the chosen one. Then my niece (Esun) was chosen as the next person to decide what was going on.... stunned."

That's how Eugene spoke out.

A long story about the king of the people.
