"Well, do you want to start"

The day after I reported to my grandfather and lord.

Stand on the streets connecting the labyrinth to the city in the morning.

I'm the only one here.

"What's the situation?

"We are currently building a path for the magic of the labyrinth to the streets that connect the labyrinth (dungeon) to the city (Alistair) - the achievement rate is now at 60%."

"Then we'll be connected by the end of the day."

There is room for Alistair's food supply rate.

The reason for this is that there is a labyrinth nearby.

Meadow Field from the eleventh to twentieth floors underground. There are numerous demons here with beasts and edible meat. Besides, if you dig a little ground, potatoes and other vegetables sometimes come out, and the tree also has fruit that looks delicious.

It's a treasure trove with a wealth of ingredients.

Naturally, transport between the two was easier.

That's why I used my skills from the city side and Illis walked down the street from the labyrinth side.

[Labyrinth Operation: Path (Line)] - Magic collected at the bottom of the Labyrinth is flushed to each tier for use. route that passes at that time. It can also be stretched out of the labyrinth.

However, when used outside, as with other labyrinth operations, there are risks involved.

If you are in the labyrinth, it will only take a little instruction, but if you use it outside the labyrinth, it will take an unusually long time.

'Is there any more efficient way?

I get a pronouncement from Illis, who is stretching his path.

"None"

Deny it while standing close to the city on the street.

It conveys the relaxed emotions of Illis, but this task cannot be done without me and Illis, who can use [labyrinth manipulation], so I can't even have other family members replace me.

"It takes a lot of work in the first place, so you've never had a hand in it before."

I was resting yesterday at the talks, but I was already standing on the street for three days.

I'm getting tired of it.

"I wasn't expecting it to take me so long to stretch the route."

I can use my skills from where I stand up to a meter back and forth, but even if I was using my skills for a minute, it would be about a meter and a half before I could move on. It was progress on whether I was going 100 meters in an hour.

The distance from the labyrinth to Alistair is about 10 km.

Anyway, I'm tired of it because it's irreplaceable work over time.

"In the first place, how can there be a city so far away?

"I didn't even know about the labyrinth nucleus, but it was easy to find out when I gathered information around it in the Adventurer's Guild"

I had looked into it before when I had time.

By the time I could call it the first town, it was closer to the labyrinth. However, it was necessary for Alistair to expand to land that was not suitable as a residential area in order to develop and make it a city with the benefit of the labyrinth.

So much so that it was newly built in a suitable place to build a huge city called a city.

That's the current Alistair.

"Well, this is the border. There's a forest full of dangerous demons, and even if it looks like a meadow, it's a little bulging up and just evening the land takes a lot of work. I'm sure there's no problem with the size of the village, but they only had land there when they tried to secure a city-size location."

"I see."

Think about it from a trade point of view even if it goes too far in the back later.

That is why the current position was suitable.

'... hard'

The voice of Illis reaches me when I work silently.

"Don't say it. Even I'm hard at work in flames."

It was hot because the sun was shining brightly even though it was winter.

No, it's definitely easier to work with than in a snowy situation, but that still doesn't change it to be a tough task.

"I can't actually do this, if they say so, it's dented."

"It's gonna be okay."

The labyrinth nucleus denies the Iris' suspension as kippy.

'The work we are doing now is the work of connecting paths. So far, magic is flowing smoothly, so it can't be supplied. "

"It's just a mess. It's a hassle."

"And what you're trying to do ahead of the connection is one of the features that's been in the labyrinth since the beginning, and you guys know it somehow because you already feel it in the Imperial City, right?

Empire capital of the Glenvarga Empire.

That's a big city that developed around the labyrinth. It is the magic supplied from the labyrinth that sustains the entire city's boundaries to protect it from demons. The fact is also made public to the inhabitants of the Imperial capital, who are thankful that there are other benefits besides food and materials available.

But there are some facts that have not been made public.

In the process of magic being shed in order to maintain the bond, the Imperial City becomes the base area of the Labyrinth.

Everything that has been done in the base has slipped through the labyrinth. And that fact is easily ascertainable by labyrinth owners.

Thanks to that, Rio, who was to become emperor, was able to perceive disturbing plans beforehand or look for certain objects.

Do it even with Alistair.

That makes it easy to find the person you want to look for who's in the city.

"But this is a one-time procedure."

The route is also going to be cut off near the labyrinth and abandoned.

Over time, the abandoned parts also disappear naturally.

Don't you feel better?

This is all the hassle, so he says it is not necessary to dispose of it.

However, continuing to maintain it in the future meant continuing to consume magic all the time.

"Imperial capital is a city that has developed around the labyrinth. There are more adventurers going into the labyrinth than Alistair. So there's room for magic, too. But Alistair isn't."

Alistair is a city that has developed relying on the labyrinth.

There are quite a few adventurers who use the labyrinth, but not as many users as the imperial capital.

"We can't afford to expand our dominance like the Empire."

I am now employing such a cumbersome means.

Features that have been in place since the beginning include expanding the base area that can be dominated around the labyrinth, which is the hub.

But if you expand your base area around the labyrinth in Alistair, you're bound to run out of magic and collapse.

That's why I'm taking the trouble of expanding the base area around the hubs in the city.

The hub in the city - the mansion I bought.

By placing a false nucleus (faux core), which replaces the labyrinth nucleus, which is also a magic accumulator, where we recognize it as a base, we will be able to supply as much magic as possible to maintain an extended base area throughout the city.

The base area naturally extends around the base.

The mansion was just right to expand as a base because it was near the center of what was on the east side.

Cover the entire city with magic supplied from the labyrinth around the mansion.

That puts all of Alistair under control, even temporarily.

That was the way I figured out how to find someone with little information.

"... it stinks"

Boredom with the only miscalculation connecting paths.

The cooperation of the Illis was absolutely essential, so they are cooperating, but the women are waiting at the Mansion for such a cumbersome task... especially since there is no reason to let them help Ira now.

I'm really sorry for the Illis for cooperating with me.

"Be patient. At this rate, it's gonna be over by this evening."

Illis looks smaller in the distance.

However, I needed a lot of time while working even at a distance that I would soon reach if I ran.
