Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A dark space, in which Rich floating in the air while emitting a pale aura is the only light source, Strella takes the first step towards an attack.

* Giggle *....

There was no sound of her stepping in.Although not completely zero, her treads, silenced to the limit, were below the sound pressure generated by small animals as they walked.If there are creatures in the dark that can feel the sound, are they nocturnal foxes or owls?

"(Can Rich, Skeleton, and Undead be called nocturnal?)"

Can Rich cope with small footsteps like nocturnal animals...?With that in mind, Strela approached Rich's back faster than the wind she woke herself up with a knife--

Zan! Doshh!!

I shot him down with a lot of energy.

At that moment, Rich's head comes off his spine and accelerates.The skull that flies like a ball played on a tennis racket looks like a blue-white fox fire from the edge.However, the beauty of flying in a straight line doesn't make it creepy...As the skull continues to fly toward the labyrinth--

Zuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

—— and hit the wall, scattering the blue flame and crushing it without hesitation.

Then, your head was in a hurry, and the rest of Rich's body collapsed and sand disappeared...On the spot, Rich's worn-out robes and canes were left behind.

Immediately after---

Now, let's talk about Rich's strategy.

--A voice of support comes from Sakura that is too late.

Strella replied that she was familiar. But it's a long story.

"Ahh, just come closer from behind and hit me in the back of the head, right?It's easy.

"What? No... Adventurers usually handle Rich in groups of four or more.I will omit a detailed explanation, but since it is dangerous for Strella-sama to fight alone, I wanted to tell you to avoid it... no way... you didn't beat him and defeated him, did you?Speaking of which, I don't think I can see Rich-- "

Well, the details are fine.Let's move on.

…………

Sakura lost her word.And in silence she thinks.... I wonder if Strela needs a supporter.

Meanwhile, two blunt and shining magical formations appeared in front of Strella.After all, it seems that Rich was a so-called hierarchical lord.Well, it's unclear if there's a hierarchy in the labyrinth with Strela.

Strela is troubled by the magic team before she talks to Sakura.

Hey, Sakura. There's a red magic team or a blue magic team right in front of me. Which one do you think is connected to the outside?

Either deeper than the labyrinth (?) is the magic of metastasis that leads one to the other, and the shallower one approaches the other (?) It should lead to a magical formation....However, because there was no explanation or prior knowledge, Strela was unable to make a judgment.

Sakura, on the other hand, said, "Please wait for me to investigate." On the other side of the magic equipment, she began to discuss something with her friends and Gayagaya.At that time, the sound of scrolling paper was probably the result of bringing what should be called a labyrinth atlas from the library in the King's Castle in the Kingdom of Mercrio and examining the color of the magical formation.

And 30 seconds later.

I don't know. Maybe it's red.

Sakura returns an appropriate response that looks just like her husband.

What do you mean you don't know...

The labyrinth I have at hand does not have a type of labyrinth that uses magical formations to cross the area.This can only be decided by intuition anymore. "

"... well, then I can't help it.By the way, why is it red?

"... I don't know, can you choose blue?"

Shouldn't I choose blue?It feels like an empty blue, and I think it has an atmosphere that seems to connect to the outside?

The cherry blossom color... is good...

Cho suitable......

Strela exhaled without making a sound.Then she dared to be on the blue magic team, but she wondered if she could betray them even though the sakura supported her -

Boom.....

--As she was told, she stepped into the red magic formation.
