Episode 24: Future Observations VS God's Luck - Part One -

- Alistair Labyrinth, 24th floor underground.

The exploration of the 24th floor also plugged into the middle and I use my skills.

"[Futurevision]"

Three pits in front of me.

Observe what kind of future awaits you as a result of going down each path based on various types of information, such as strategy information that Sonia has gathered for you.

Three types of ends unfolded in the brain.

"This way."

I tell them the left path is the right one as a result of my skills.

"Is that it? But if it's a map, you're pretty far away..."

"It does indeed depict the right and front as correct, but the other side moves in the same direction that blocks the road as we do"

Whatever path you choose, hitting it is the end of the line.

"It's a stepping stone we did first, but if this one gets hit, the offense is easy, but it's a hassle."

"Don't say that. It's not my fault you're competing for pure tactical speed after a battle."

Proceed with the labyrinth with Pina at the head, as usual.

... Is that it?

"Hey, you okay?

"Daiji, it's bu..."

Obviously, he's getting pale.

Soon Rio held me.

My hands on my forehead are cold and pleasant.

"Not that I have a fever..."

"You can probably overuse your skills"

Leesia's diagnosis I was observing my body.

'I think I'm overusing my skills too'

If you ask me further from the button that is the party's restorer, I'm sure.

"Today, it's only the fourth time"

I get up on my own somehow.

Future observations were headaches every time the consumption of magic peeked into the future of something that wasn't so much.

For this reason, I have been trying to open up a little bit of time once I used it.

That's four times today alone.

No, that's not all.

"How many times have you used it since yesterday?

"... twenty-four times"

Just in case, every time I went down the hierarchy even at the upper level, I used [Future Observation] to see if there were any dangers or overlooks.

Thanks to this, for the twenty-fourth time, the limits have come.

No, I can still use it.

If only I had endured a headache.

"I'm sorry, but I forbid the use of my skills if I'm not feeling so well. If the battle doesn't seem possible, I will instruct you to return to your quarters. I'm sorry, but we can't afford to take the trap."

"How..."

"I'm going to know why you're going to do everything you can until you can't. Indeed, I held up my battle to gain an advantage in the negotiations of the main Labyrinth opponent for my own purposes. But it's not a battle you need to win until you sacrifice your family. If you lose, you'll be negotiating normally, but it's not like you can't. It's so many times better than losing you."

"But...!

I was going to beat the battle and stick my demands to the Labyrinth Lord.

For that reason, we all... knew that the offense required the help of everyone but Mr. Cattleya.

"I want to help you…"

"That feeling is enough"

He was being stroked with a pompous head.

It's cowardly. If they do that, we'll have to obey.

"I'm coming."

My role is only to observe the future.

Other things and negotiations are my role, but there is no need to negotiate in a labyrinth attack.

"But you can do it this way."

"Yes, definitely"

"But it looks like it's over."

Pina, who was walking in the lead, stops his leg when he realizes the path is blocked by the rock wall.

"Other roads are dead."

"Yes."

"Then it's my turn."

The walls of the labyrinth cannot be destroyed by nature.

But it is the labyrinth lord who makes that impossible possible.

When Mr. Rio waves his sword, the wall that was blocking the road disappears and the road appears.

"The walls of this place were the thinnest."

The road to the right and front was rendezvous along the way and the road ahead was blocked.

In view of the thinness of the wall ahead of us, which we chose the two paths, we decided which way to go.

"Thanks"

"No… this is how I came along to find my way"

The more information my [Future Observation] gathers, the more accurate the future I observe.

That information to gather includes not only the tactical information obtained from guilds and adventurers, but also the echoes of the sounds thus obtained by walking on one's feet, the way the air flows and the reactions of magic.

I could have been on the defensive side if I'd just chosen the invasion route based solely on tactical information.

But it helps Rio to act together even if he is less capable of combat.

"Shall we?"

"Yes, we're almost done exploring the 24th floor"

So far so good.

"Um, doesn't Mr. Rio regret making me one of them?

"What happened all of a sudden?

"I dreamed about last night when I first met her because I had never used my skills in a row. So I feel sorry for myself for bothering you, like I said back then."

There was a lot of bitterness in court relations.

The main reason for this is me and Pina - former fraudsters and former bandits.

After declaring herself emperor, Mr. Rio made the Queen accept to place Mr. Cattleya. There was no one who disagreed greatly with this. Originally, as a nobleman, I was educated, and everyone was breathtaking about the elegance Mr. Cattleya releases.

At the same time, however, there were those who disagreed with the side chambers announced.

All the party members except Mr. Cattleya.

It mixes not only with civilians, but even those who were criminals.

There were some loud noises, and some of the party members who were watching the sight thought about getting away from Mr. Rio...

'If anything big goes wrong with these guys being siderooms, it's all my fault. Besides, I promised I'd do everything I could to keep them company. There's no way you can imitate me as an emperor. "

... Yeah, I knew.

There's no way to go if Rio wants to, but I've been thinking about going somewhere, but there's no other place we can be than next to Rio.

I promised to help Mr Rio and Mr Cattleya in my [negotiations].

"Whoa, looks like it's time for the 24th floor to end."

"Good."

Every time I use my skills, my headache gets worse, so I'm starting to lose confidence in accuracy, but I'm glad I made it to a place where I have the magic team to transfer safely to the lower level.

Sonia and Iris, who were separated to exterminate the nearby demons, also rendezvous.

All aboard the Transfer Magic Formation.

The view in front of me changed in an instant when the magic flowed... but I could see that the entrance that was supposed to have come straight in from the front moved from left to right slightly further into the lower hierarchy.

"Now, which way do you think we should go?

"Wait a minute, please"

Spread the map and check.

Using skills to observe the future is more certain than gathering more information on the 25th basement floor.

I can also trust the maps to some extent.

We can build new walls and make ends meet, as it was on the 24th basement floor, but we consume magic simply by creating new walls. I don't know how much room you can afford it, but it's not the kind of substitute you can build again and again in a situation where you have Mr. Rio who can easily break walls.

'... hurry up and move on!

I get a heads-up from Mr. Cattleya in a hurry.

"What's up?

"Now that they've reached the 21st basement, we're moving forward with a tremendous amount of momentum."

"What!?

"The maze we have prepared to let you get lost in a dim place called a pit doesn't make any sense. We're going straight for the shortest distance. '

"Huh...?

Pit field, which begins on the 21st basement floor, just like this labyrinth, we all thought of the route in advance to become a complicated maze.

Is that easy to break through?
