"This is the other side of the bottom floor..."

Take the Elmers into a world deep in a labyrinth.

All four of them have a strange feeling of seeing a pure white world for the first time.

Is it okay to stop time?

"There's no problem over there."

In a pure white world, even a family member can't move without being beside me who has World .

They don't seem to have a problem if they're not too far apart.

“However, it is not advisable to bring anyone other than us.”

"Why?"

"I've been having a hard time breathing, and my body feels heavy."

Dia complains about her illness.

An ordinary human who came here because of Zeon's [free will] was unable to move as if time had stopped. Perhaps it is because of the labyrinth lord and the labyrinth's family that such a degree of malaise has been completed.

"Hold on just a little longer." I wanted you to take a look at it to make sure you understand what's going on. "

The Elmers who were taken understood that this was a different place.

First, I need to confirm the results of my [World] 's transformation.

I knew it.

A magical accumulation not far from the entrance to the labyrinth.

In the lower realm, there was a magic place that was accumulated in the southeast direction from Aleister.

Something I didn't have before. I didn't have to look into it. I rewrote it.

"I want you to do something." Of course, there are dangers, so you can turn me down. "

"No, I'll take care of it." We owe it to Mars and the others to take it back. "

I'm glad you're willing to repay me a little.

However, I am distracted by the possibility of hostility against the Zeons.

Still, Elmer is the only one we can rely on right now.

Expand the labyrinth to the limit ― ― 100 floors below, the door you saw earlier will appear and you will be able to enter and exit.

With that word alone, Elmer understood what to do.

You're expanding the Palent Labyrinth to the limit, aren't you?

"That's right. Minimize the structure of the labyrinth and prioritize expansion."

As a pleasure for the labyrinth lord, I had the pleasure of thinking about the placement of traps and monsters against intruders, and adjusting the environment.

My wish is to take that pleasure away from me.

“Of course, there's not much time left.”

"... are you sure?"

Not just Elmer, but Gems, Jilly, and Dia nodded.

Of course, we will prepare the funds and magic power necessary for expansion.

Is it okay to do that?

The labyrinth expanded to its limit. I was worried that it would become difficult to maintain Aleister's labyrinth, as I needed magic power to maintain it.

"Unlike Palento, I have top-notch adventurers stationed here." I don't have any problems with the suppliers. "

Although the number of people taken by the reclaimers has decreased, many adventurers remain in Aleister. Many of them are rewarded for hunting monsters in the labyrinth, collecting materials, and returning.

In addition, this year's exploitation was interrupted. The plan will start again next spring, but adventurers will return to the city. I thought it would get cold in the future, and I thought I'd make some money, so they'd come to the labyrinth.

Well, I'm glad there aren't fewer top-notch adventurers in this incident.

If we hadn't visited Dayton Village to crush the Great Serpent, the adventurers who were helping to reclaim it might have been wiped out.

It was good to receive a request in the sense that we were able to suppress the significant decrease in income.

And I got a new income, too.

I turned my gaze to the magic pile.

Maybe it was because of my skills that the surplus flowed into the labyrinth even though it was magic that had nothing to do with it.

It seemed that there was not much flow in the magic accumulator, which sometimes produced powerful monsters like the Great Serpent.

Even so, the increase in income has not changed.

"That's why you don't have to worry about it."

I'm rather asking Elmer to accept it.

"... I understand. I will take it with difficulty."

Elmer's help is essential, given his hostility to Zeon.

Although I gained a new skill, I didn't think it would be so useful in the fight against Zeon. I tried a few, but I can't directly interfere with an opponent with more than a certain amount of power, and it plays. Probably won't work for Zeon.

Then we'll have to hope for the next one.

A skill that can be gained when all five pillars are aligned. Zeon is also getting stronger, but [the world] also has the potential to gain more power.

"Hey, can I talk like this in a place like this?"

Gem mouths the question.

If we're talking in this empty space, people around here will hear us.

There's no one in sight but us, and there's no sign of us.

but....

"I wonder where you're listening!!"

Screaming to call.

Even if we weren't close, we might still have the means to eavesdrop on our conversations.

"We've become labyrinth lords, and we've decided to support this child."

Place your hand on Elmer's head to show that the relationship is intimate.

"If anything happens to these children... it's all out war!"

In a sense, a declaration of war.

But by demonstrating closeness, you can also act as a deterrent to Elmer.

Mr. Mars.

"Let them be involved in such a dangerous thing." At least let us protect you from the enemy. "

At that time, the front of his eyes warped like a yang flame, and Zeon appeared.

If you think you've visited this world for the first time in a long time, you'll have to declare war.

"Yeah, that's right."

It seems that you haven't been punished for running back this time.

Zeon's body cast magic power.

Elmers were nervous because of their enormous magic power.

But Sylvia and her family were in peace.

"... stop it."

Zeon's magic energy was cut off.

"Your purpose... no, the world needs five pillars to achieve it."

“That's right, we don't have the strength to achieve our goals.”

I don't dare ask what the purpose is.

Worst case scenario, you will enter all-out war as soon as you know it. I declared war earlier, but if we fight with our current strength, we will lose.

"I know you guys are getting ready for the fifth one, but I'll let you go."

Explain the situation clearly to Zeon and proceed with the negotiation.

So it's okay if we don't disturb each other.

Negotiations without conditions unfavorable to each other.

That's why Zeon came to me with the hope that he would agree.

"I accepted the content. I promise I won't interfere in the labyrinth where your child is found to be involved, not just Alistair.”

Zeon had a spare expression on his face, but he was draining a lot of magic to make the fourth pillar appear.

At least, you can't afford to put your hands on the fifth one right away.

If you're willing to do your best here, I'd be happy to agree.

"However, you are not involved in our plan either." If you were involved unknowingly, I'll give you a respite, but if you continue to be involved after understanding.... "

We're going to have to crash.
