Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

As we went down the stairs with one layer, another, the dance floor grew in size. Something that was 50m square at first, but 80m square at next... By the time we arrived on the fourth layer, it seemed that there was a huge space of 200m square. That's also a big cave like a real bell cave......

As a result, they became gradually more cautious around the elves, who began to wonder if this was really a labyrinth. Every time we went down the hierarchy, we set up a resting point on the spot, paying attention so that we could come back and rest no matter what.

As a result, people were dispersed in reaching each layer, and by the time they reached the four layers, the number of people remaining had decreased to the point where they could be counted with one hand. For this reason, the elves who have come this far seemed driven by the need to review what they were going to do in case the future might be a labyrinth.

"... I'll go scout"

Usually an oligarchy elf man squeaks at a bunch of arguing elves.

Although the elves had a bewildering look in his words at the beginning, they all immediately seemed to nod as they were convinced. Because he's the head of security inside the elf. Because he was in the same position as a hunter in Mid-Eden.

"I'm going to come back when I see if the route to the next layer is safe. Once we're safe, we'll set up a base camp here today."

Everyone agrees with the words of the head of security. Apparently, everyone was mentally exhausted.

Those other than the head of security were to prepare for the camp on the spot, or to return to the upper level to call on their mates. The look of it is at the party itself attacking the labyrinth…. The head of security, who had explored the labyrinth, somehow seemed to smile bitterly.

"(I just meant to go complain, I didn't know this was going to happen...)"

He said he was just trying to ask visitors for words of apology, but when he realized it, there was a massive grouping going on to attack the hole. Where the hell did I go wrong with what would this happen...... In thinking about it, it seems to the head of security that our actions have been strange.

But it was almost for a moment that he was putting that look on the table. As soon as he tightened his face, he turned his sharp gaze toward the darkness that spread into the cave.

◇

Wandering through the cave for a while, the head of security succeeds in finding the stairs down safely. At the same time he found something like a stone tablet.

Here's what it said.

"Seeing this stone tablet, you will be unhappy if you don't present Inari Sushi to a pretty fox girl...... make you unhappy!"

…………

It is just an "unhappy letter" (?). However, since it is only a letter, it is not meant to be effective —— it should be.

I'm not sure what the Elf's head of security thought, but when he laughs with his hun and nose...... I tried to walk out with my gaze toward the stairs. But he, in that first step --,

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

—— and slips and falls grandly off his ass.

It was just a coincidence. It was only by chance that the ground collapsed easily. Or it was coincidental that the soles of the shoes he was wearing were slimming down; it was also coincidental that he was to come to this place alone, and it was coincidental that he had seen the "Letter of Unhappiness" on the tablet. Well, only the wording that was written on the stone tablet can't be said to be inevitable.

"Is that a trap?!

Sometimes the stairs and squares that came down were getting closer and closer to looking like a labyrinth, and he seriously doubted the existence of traps that were common in the labyrinth.

But naturally, there is no such high-tech thing installed on the emergency staircase that Lucia has appropriately made of earth magic...... That anticipation of the head of security, who thought it was a trap, was just plain worrying. It was just a conjecture. Well, the stone tablet marked "Letter of Unhappiness" seemed to contain something like a strong thought.

"(What kind of trap... no? No way, did I really get unlucky?

Does magic exist that makes people unlucky? Or can you use something like a demon prop to manipulate people's luck...... The head of security can't find the answer to that and anything to think about... In the meantime, he seems to have decided to stop thinking and move forward carefully.

That's when I hear some voice in his ear.

"... I've never felt more in danger than then"

As soon as he thought it belonged to a woman and heard the voice, the head of the elf's security tried to get his own gain reflexively. But he realizes there.

"... Huh! No!?"

The sword that was supposed to have been lowered to his waist was missing every sheath. Apparently, the shock when he fell caused him to roll off somewhere.

As a result, he, mundane, never stops the feet of the Lord of impending voices….

The head of security bowled in the absence of a weapon with a threesome climbing from the back of the stairs.
