I didn't notice it because it was empty space, but this is like a village in the north of the Duchy of Ishgaria.

"Have you ever been here?"

"More than 10 years ago."

Before she could act with us, Iris was an adventurer partying with people she could say were her parents.

He was based in his hometown of Krashel, where he received requests to move around, and where he received another request to return to his base.

The village of Dodo was also one of those that stopped by.

Is this the village?

Right in front of you is the city that has developed.It's big enough to surround the city with walls.It's not a simple wall to protect the village.

"It was certainly a village when I came.If a ferocious monster appears, go to a nearby city and rely on an adventurer. "

That was the destiny of the small village.

There can be no more powerful adventurers stationed in villages built on the fringes, so we have no choice but to rush to the city and ask for help.

However, it takes a lot of money to ask an adventurer to do it.Many villages were destroyed by the power of monsters before I could ask for help.

Ellis happened to be in a nearby town at the same time.Even the adventurer at rank C did not receive the reward.However, because of her desire for merit, Iris decided to defeat the monster that was attacking the village with human help.

Being named and valued for that is the surest way to rank.

"It seems that it has developed into a city."

"It's impossible to grow bigger in ten years... unless there's something triggering it."

The city gate opens wide into the back.

The city of Dodo has a road that stretches straight from the gate.It's not just a homogeneous road in the village, it's a well-paved road in the city.That alone is enough to evaluate it as a "city".

According to Ellis, this place was definitely different.It used to be a small village that ran farms, with a square at the center that served as a meeting place, but the road to get there was a gravel road.

"But there's no sign of anyone."

I try to focus on the city, but I can't capture people's reactions just because there is a city.

I opened the door of a private house nearby and looked inside.

"A cup to drink. I wonder if he was also preparing the food."

The kitchen was stocked with ingredients.

However, the drink that would have been in the cup has only evaporated and left traces, and the ingredients have withered.It is easy to predict that a considerable amount of time has passed.

There's nothing particularly suspicious about it.

I hope there's someone there, but there's no sign of anyone.

"... I was there"

Sylvia's Detection could not capture anyone.

However, Isla saw someone approaching the window facing the garden.

"... people?"

I looked at the garden in the same way, but there was a "something" in the shape of a person with a translucent body that was visible from the other side like a ghost.

I turned my face towards Sylvia, but I just shook my head to the side.

There is no sign of anyone at all.On the contrary, even the "certain" sign is scarce, and there is no other way to rely on vision.

Ghostlike people turn their backs on us, but they look like adult women.

"I see. Looks like the mother who protected the child."

Iris turns to the front of the woman and says.

Similarly, if you move to the front, you will see a boy about five years old in a woman's arm.

Something happened. As a mother, I tried to protect my child in the garden, but I ended up getting caught up in the same situation.

"From the direction, something happened in the center of town."

Melissa turned her eyes towards the woman who was turning her back.

I wave my hand in front of a hardened woman, but she never reacts.

“There's no doubt that something happened.But if you don't go to the center, you won't know anything. "

Everyone nods.

At the same time, they surrounded me to protect me.It was a formation for exploring incredible spaces, but I couldn't leave my [World] in a situation where it was indispensable.

I had no choice but to restrict my movements.



I knew there was no one there.

Sylvia murmured in front of the stall.

However, in the stall in front of her, a large man who was selling fruit had a translucent body with his hands held up against the sky.

By the time we get here, we'll see how many humans are doing that.

“When I noticed a sign from the outside, I didn't feel any sign of anyone at all, but apparently I couldn't feel it because everyone in the city was fading.”

The people in the building, without exception, were stuck as if time had stopped.

Some of the children sensed the crisis and were pushed into the basement by their parents, but the child was also stopped without exception.

"There it is."

An object found by Iris as she reached the center of the city.

It's a big white door.

You've seen him before.

“It will look exactly like the one at the bottom of our labyrinth.”

A door set in a square in the center of the city.

Behind them is a fountain, which narrows the eyes with a hand to protect it from the strong light, but there is a figure of the wives who would have been laughing.

Obviously, it was different from the usual sight.

If you want to investigate, this is the door.

"Wait a minute."

I reached out and I was stopped by Aira.

"I don't know what's behind the door, so it's bad enough that you open it."This is when we have to move. "

Aira, who came out in front of me, pushes the door open.

"Ah....."

Aira's hand stops when it opens wide enough to slip into her body.

Behind the door was a dragon (dragon) with six necks, and when he realized that the door had been opened, he turned to his face.

"Ahahah..."

A dry laugh leaked from Isla's mouth.

Their eyes crossed.Just by looking at each other, I was able to judge that the dragon was powerful.

And so is the dragon.All six necks focused their magic energy on their mouths to create a brace.

"Close it!"

"......!!"

Ira closes the door that was open to her.

It seems that the brace was released just before it was completely closed, but there was no effect on the side separating the door.

Are you okay?

"What was that...?"

She didn't seem to get hurt, just surprised by the sudden attack.

"Hydra, a monster that can only appear in mythology, an opponent that we must fight to the death."

Do you know that?

"Do you know...? We have [Appraisal (Analyze)]"

[Labyrinth Magic: Appraisal] - When used in a labyrinth, it can read information against monsters, objects, and all kinds of beings.However, when used outside the labyrinth, only objects and related persons brought out of the labyrinth can be targeted.

The place I'm in is not a labyrinth.I can't read any information that I can use against objects in the city or people who are semi-transparent.

However, Iris was able to target Hydra for Appraisal for a few seconds after the door was opened.

"There are two possible possibilities.One was that Hydra was a monster created by the power of the Labyrinth.Well, I'm convinced that Hydra can't be created without using the power of the labyrinth..... "

Perhaps both reasons are correct.

"Behind this door was a labyrinth, so I could use it." Isn't that right? "

I turned my gaze to the other side of the square.

By recognizing the appearance of being confused by the scarce signs emitted by the translucent people, I was able to catch the other person's sign.

"There is movement of people here... I thought someone could adapt, but it was you guys."

"Zeon...!"

There was Zeon with all his family.
