Card collector from different worlds

084 Beginning of the bet

In the people, the Waterbirds seem to be a kind of unique being.

Many people know the story of the first Lord gambling with the god of cards to have the city built for that reward.

The city is...

- Water cities

Kinosuke asked the violator what the hell this water city is and saw it.

"Well, there was originally a pale labyrinth on the lake, but it sounds like you've built a city on top of it."

What an explanation for not getting the guidelines.

The violator himself has never visited a water city, and by hearsay it is also significant.

"A city with a pale labyrinth... that's a labyrinth city, isn't it? It's like it was in the Scarlet Labyrinth..."

"Right. Before the water city could do it, it seemed like a rocky reef protruding into the lake was the entrance to the labyrinth. I think it's just like Scarlet's Labyrinth because I hear the Waterbird family's first lord gambled with the god of cards to build a city on it."

The violator said it might be a difference in degree as to whether there is a lord's castle there.

"Well, go and you'll see."

The water city is not that far away, he said. If you run your self-propelled wheels for two days, you'll get there.

They say there are many lakes around here in the first place.

They're quite a distance from the Violator and the Ente family, Irene's home, and it takes ten days to run a self-propelled wheel.

Therefore, there seems to be a desire to have a glimpse of the water city, just like Kinosuke.

"... so this is where we arrived"

I drove a self-propelled wheel for two days to reach the lake.

It is the water city that looks far away.

It's a water city... but it was a little different from what Kiyonosuke imagined.

"Looks like this is a water city."

The violator is flat.

"Is that it... doesn't it fall?

"It's a city built by the god of cards, so I guess that's not true"

"Right. Right."

What are the Kinosukes looking at......

One column stands on the lake.

The pillar was ridden with a circular city.

"... you look like an umbrella peed in a typhoon"

The building was stretched up just like a labyrinth city with a scarlet labyrinth.

So the balance looks so bad.

Because it looks pretty unstable, I think if the wind blows, it will fall as-is.

Kinosuke and others are seriously worried that the one at the end won't collapse, but the inhabitants of this world don't really care.

"I would never want to live in a city like this..."

Yes, I think Kiyonosuke, but I guess people live in peace with the fact that the god of cards made them.

To enter the water city, they sail to the pillars and climb the stairs from there.

"... so should we go to the lord"

"Wouldn't it be nice if I applied for a labyrinth offense?"

……

"Eh, this labyrinth is a little special, and we can get down directly to the bottom floor. The Waterbirds manage the labyrinth as a condition of exchange when the gods of cards built this city, and if anyone wants to bet, they shouldn't hold it back."

"After all, what kind of bet is that?

"The bottom tier is said to be the main road. They want to see if they can defeat Cardy in the deepest part of it."

"... it's simple"

"Right. But Kim Noe seems to think he can do it, so I guess we can figure it out."

"Well, there's something about wanting to try and fight a strong cardi, so if that's the case, I challenge you...... is that all you need?

"That's what I think you'll find out if you go."

As soon as they entered the city, Kim Noisuke and the others went to the Labyrinth Management Department to inform them that they wanted to carry out a deepest attack.

"Is that the deepest offensive hope?

"Yes."

"The offense must be carried out alone. Which one would prefer to attack?"

"Uh, it's me."

"Then fill out this form"

That's what the officials said and brought the paper.

"Which..."

Kim Noisuke receives the form and writes it from above.

There is a field to fill in the name and the stunts and skills in your possession.

The reason I don't let you transcribe your self-card seems to be because if you have skills you want to hide or something, you don't have to fill them in.

So Kiyonosuke wrote down bars, martial arts, light industries, etc.

"You're the biggest level of cardy I've ever defeated on my own... then you're level 16. I guess this is it."

Pass the written form to the official.

"... are you okay? If you're quitting, right now?

He asks suspiciously, but Kim Noisuke replied with a chest tight, "It's okay," he said.

"Then I received the application form. I'm sure the Lords will hear from you later, so please let us know when you have a place to stay."

Apparently only the lords can give permission to descend directly to the deepest depths, and they can only start attacking when the lords have time.

"I wonder how long we'll wait"

"Come on, I'm busy being direct to the lord, and I think we'll wait a few days"

"Uh, that's a pain in the ass"

Kim Noisuke and the others decided to stay and went to report it to the management department, and they were told that the application had already passed by the castle.

How quickly the next morning, he said, he could meet with the lord.

"You're faster than I thought. I was wondering if it would take a little longer..."

"I've also been working in this Labyrinth Management Department for five years, but this is the first time you've come to apply for 'gambling'. That would mean it's so rare."

"Really... aren't they popular?

"What?... No, just because it's more difficult. And you can't try again."

"Uh, really?"

"... you didn't know?

"I haven't been informed of any details."

"Uh... you can't undo that anymore, can you?

The sister of the Labyrinth Management Department turned her eyes to Kim Noisuke like she saw a pathetic person.

"No, I'm fine. I won't undo it."

Kinosuke has often had such an eye since he came to this world for some reason.

And the next day, when Kim Noisuke and the others went to the castle, they were let through lightly.

The lord seemed to have already waited, and the visit came true immediately.

The Waterbird family lord was a sturdy, very casual figure named Sakroon.

At least there is no fine dust in the impression that Kinosuke has of a nobleman.

Would it be close to a youth businessman?

He was in his late thirties or so, and Kinosuke felt that the side of samurai and noble standing seemed to mix well together.

"Hi, let me try 'Betting' this time, it's Kim Noisuke"

"I'm Sakroon. I heard Miss Violator did go to martial arts training, but I didn't know she could come to my city and wear it."

"Long time no see, Master Sakroon. But this time the main character is this Kim no Yuki, so why don't you tell me about him?"

"I'm sorry about that.... Well, Kim Noisuke. Are you ready?

"Yeah... I'm still not sure what I'm going to do"

"... well, is that so? Miss Violator, do you want to talk to him about gambling?

"Actually, I'm not familiar with it enough to teach people."

"I see... then let's be brief. The only thing I ask you to do is defeat the boss behind the bottom of the labyrinth, but only one person can try it at a time. And if you fail, you can't try again. Also, you just have to remember that the offense has a time limit"

When time comes, they automatically throw you out of the labyrinth?

And because this is only a 'bet' prepared by the god of cards, Cardy says he will not stab the challenger with a stop.

However, if you suffer a fatal injury, you may die and there may be sequelae.

Either way, they're less likely to be able to finish it safely.

"Can I ask you a question?

"That's good. As far as I can answer."

"It's called a time limit, but how long is it actually okay?

"One candle."

Candles are followed by clear standards for buying and selling, and the normal type would be about six hours of calculation in a single bottle.

"Do you tell me the level of cardi that comes out or something?

"Levels 15 to 18. Only the boss has level 18."

"..................... is that it? Aren't you a lot tough?

"Right. Few challengers themselves. Most recently, there was one nine years ago."

"What happened to that person?

"I suffered a major injury and failed. I'm retired from Cardy Hunter. By the way, as far as the record goes, there seems to be over a dozen successful people in the past. Looks like more or less one successful person shows up every thirty years. There have been fewer cardi hunters lately and I was just getting bored because they haven't shown up at all"

At least level 15 would be pretty tough. Kinosuke also spent a month in the labyrinth of Lord Urstan, but eventually he couldn't bear to dive deeper and deeper.

Quite powerful, but still level 18 cardi inexperienced.

"Then I heard the aisle was the main road, do I need to take down all the cardies that come and go on the way? And after you defeat the last boss, are you going back to the exit again?

"You don't need to defeat all the cardies along the way because the condition for achieving the bet is to destroy the boss in the back. Also, if you destroy the boss, the door will show up in the back, so don't let him come back from there.... the right person for Miss Violator's glasses. I hope so."

"I'm sure Kim Yuki will succeed."

"That's dependable"

After that, we go through a brief procedure, and Kim Noisuke heads to Nara.

Authorization for the use of Naruto was transcribed on Kinosuke's card, and everything was ready.

"Good luck, Kim no Yoshi"

"(Well, be careful)"

"I'm still on my way. Don't get hurt."

After three words, Kinosuke went down to the lowest level using Naruto.

Down Naruto, Kinosuke stepped down to the lowest level of the labyrinth.

"The ceiling is about ten meters high. You have more left and right widths. About twenty-five meters. And the aisle, but it feels loosely curved"

I still don't see Cardy. I forgot to ask how long this aisle is in the first place.

Various candles are installed on the left and right walls, burning red. I guess this represents the time remaining.

"Well, I don't like the hard stuff, so why don't you go?"

I don't know how often cardies come out, but I want to avoid futile fights.

"Do you want to use this one?"

Kiyonosuke took out the smasher (smasher) he was used to using instead of the demon collapse (daemon shutter).

"All right, let's go see if we can avoid a fight."

Kim Noisuke ran off carrying a smasher.
