"Hey, what do you mean there's a labyrinth or something?

This is the middle of the ocean.

There is nothing suspicious about having a conversation in your mouth.

"In the meantime, shall we have a look at this map"

A map is displayed in the right corner of vision by labyrinth tone.

"Is this a map around here?

It's only been a few days, but we can get some idea of the terrain near Savona. The map displayed in sight was indeed a Savona-centric map, albeit a large mess.

A red dot strikes a place that is ocean on that map.

'This is the current location, where there is a labyrinth. Next, take a look at this map. "

Now the map appears in the left corner.

However, a map appeared similar and completely different.

"Is this the same place?

"It looks different, but it's the same place"

Melissa answers the question of Illis.

It's supposed to be a map of the same place, but it looks like another place because of the completely different shape of the coastline, and the position of the sea has changed. Conversely, it can be determined that mountains that are still on land have not changed position and are the same place.

"How come on the two maps, they're so different in shape?

"That's because the two maps are from different times."

"I knew..."

The map shown later in the left corner was made a long time ago, though I don't know when it was. That was so long ago that something happened that would change the terrain, too.

"The first one I showed you was a map I made myself based on the sights you guys have seen since you came to Savona. So, the map you showed me later was Savona by your four-year-old labyrinth lord - not by that name at the time, but by the time I visited this place."

Four generations ago - and that was only about a thousand years ago.

"I guess there's been so much change in terrain over the last 1,000 years. But what matters now is the fact that the terrain has changed, not the cause of the change. Why don't we superimpose the map just now? '

The labyrinth nucleus deliberately overlaps the maps arranged left and right slowly.

Then I realized what the labyrinth nucleus was trying to say.

"This place used to be not the bottom of the ocean."

It was somewhat on land close to the sea.

"The labyrinth lord at the time caused trouble with the labyrinth lord of the labyrinth in this place. The rubbing itself was resolved immediately, so there's no problem, because there's a labyrinth entrance at the bottom of the ocean like this."

At the bottom of the ocean, no one visits.

If that happens, the less magic you can store in the labyrinth, the less you can even remember to keep the calluses.

Gradually forgotten by everyone, the labyrinth was maintained while shrinking in size, relying on the slightest magic gained from the surrounding land.

"Getting magic from the surrounding land is also a problem. The magic that dwells on the land is strongly susceptible to the influence of the land. So, there's only sea near this labyrinth right now. If we had absorbed the magic of such a place, we wouldn't be the same as the ocean in the labyrinth - on the contrary, we'd be in a labyrinth that might already be submerged. '

Labyrinth filled with water.

There is no better habitat for aquatic organisms.

"Giant Kraken is in this labyrinth, isn't he?

"I'm sure he's here."

The labyrinth nucleus was certain.

"The rationale is that the pendulum didn't respond. It's such a powerful magic tool that you don't allow other followers to follow in your search for things. But even such powerful magic tools don't have enough power to transcend dimensions. The labyrinth may be easy to mistake because it's starting to come in through the entrance, but it's a different space inside."

So the dimensions are different outside and inside.

Because of this, we cannot detect what is in the labyrinth.

'Maybe there are other spaces near here that are hidden there...'

It's weirder to have a different space with such a whee.

Rather, it is more natural to think that there is a Giant Kraken in the labyrinth.

"Okay. Consider the policy on the assumption that Giant Kraken is hiding in the labyrinth"

If you're hiding, you need to figure out a way to kick him out.

You should think about that area with me and Melissa.

"I have some suggestions, but most of them will become a force industry, do you mind?

"I don't mind if it's about as flashy as it gets"

"Yes, sir."

We should refrain from acting too prominently, but this is all the more so in a situation where we are being praised by the inhabitants of Savona.

'By the way, you've already noticed, haven't you?

"The giant sea demon has nothing to do with the giant monster who was in the lost forest."

A giant demon made by some hand.

'Probably, but Giant Kraken is the boss of the labyrinth born as a result of his continued sucking on the magic around him. Its power is specialized in maritime combat because the labyrinth has become only a sea field. Besides, I'm getting that size with too much magic sucking'

Not artificially crafted demons, etc., but coincidental products produced as a result of continuing to suck the magic around them.

Totally unrelated to the three giant demons.

'So, the original prospect is off, what do we do?

One of the first reasons I took on Savona's request was in search of clues to the person who created the giant demon.

But it's irrelevant, so there's no clue here at all.

"What are you talking about"

Of course I crusade.

Even if I don't get a clue, I've already taken on the request.

Contractually, it's fine to say that you can't crusade and have no problem returning to Alistair, but I don't want to imitate the kind of situation you would expect from a guild master as well as a city dweller to escape.

"Giant Kraken is bound to crusade"

"I'm glad you could help me, even if you did."

"What do you mean?

'Like I said, the labyrinth lords knew each other at the time. So, via the labyrinth lord, the labyrinth nuclei will also be able to have conversations with each other. We didn't even know each other. The labyrinth nucleus of this labyrinth is my friend - I'm pretty sure he was more than I knew him. "

It is invaluable for a labyrinth nucleus to have a reciprocal conversation with someone who endures decades to hundreds of years of loneliness until a new labyrinth lord emerges.

It was a pleasure to have someone to talk to.

But only while the labyrinth lord was alive at the time.

If the labyrinth lord is no longer dead, time will continue to endure solitude for a while.

The loneliness was enough time to make friends forget their existence from the labyrinth nucleus.

"This time, I forgot about them until I came to Savona again. Not that I could say, but my friends endure more time than I do alone. No, maybe it's not bearable anymore. If the result is that the demons born in the labyrinth are out of control, as far as I'm concerned, I want you to do something about it."

The voice contained truthfulness.

Except we're not convinced where we're going with that word.

"Then you should have cooperated from the beginning, wouldn't you?

If the labyrinth nucleus would have cooperated from the beginning, as Ira says, we wouldn't have had to waste a week.

"I only realized who Giant Kraken was because Giant Kraken was afraid of you, the Labyrinth Lord, so I thought maybe. So, the deciding factor was my inability to use the Dowsing Pendulum."

Thanks to this, I was able to think of the existence of the labyrinth and also remember about the labyrinth nucleus that was my friend.

"What didn't you just say today or something?

"That's boring."

"What?"

'As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to do something about it, but I haven't been in a hurry for a few more days. Then I thought about entertaining myself when I could afford to see you troubled.'

I knew it sucked.

Still, watching forever doesn't keep things going and I'm bored, so if you found the labyrinth, it seems like you were going to explain everything.

I've taken on requests before, so the crusade will succeed at all costs.
