Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Slaughter that flew in from nowhere.

That slashed and skipped Illis' right arm.

"... Huh!

Iris' face distorts into pain.

But soon he returns to his usual calmly sedentary face to retrieve his right arm slashed with his left hand.

And escape to the opposite of those whose slaughter flew in.

Noel standing in front of Illis. She is a wounded Iris escort.

"Are you all right?

Rushing Melissa performs restorative magic.

"Problem, no..."

Immediately activate the [Sword of Application] on yourself.

It also succeeded in saving magic because it was used while pressing the recovered right arm against the wound.

"Knock..."

Retain consciousness that you are about to lose.

That's about all she can do now.

"Sorry. I'm out of magic"

It can heal even the seriously injured [sword of application], but it is too powerful an effect, and it will consume magic all at once.

I spent most of my magic healing Gem and Jilly.

Afterwards, healing my right arm consumed more magic than it could possibly be.

It wasn't weird when I fell unconscious anymore.

But I still couldn't fall.

"Is that it? I didn't fall down now."

I hear voices from across the rock wall.

Slightly open thin cracks.

A rock is slashed and carved around that little crack and falls to the ground.

I knew that space existed across the rock wall in the Illis who owned the map.

But it's never possible for people to show up from beyond the rock walls.

The map can show passages and terrain as well as the current location of people and demons in the labyrinth.

So - it can't be coming from anybody's unresponsive place or anything.

"Nice to meet you."

It was a girl in her late teens with dark hair and dark eyes who showed up.

She is about 150 centimetres tall and small, yet has a sword in her hand that is equal in length to her height.

My hair aligned to my shoulders is bouncing from left to right because of my walking.

"Who are you?

"Atashi? Atashi is Luce."

"I'm not asking your name. How come you're still unresponsive?

The reaction of a girl who thus appeared in front of her still named Lüze never appears on the map.

"Ha, what are you talking about? You're guessing at a time when you can use your skills like that.

"Is that what this is all about?"

Melissa had one possibility.

"You are also a member of the Labyrinth family."

"Ping-pong."

"Mr. Noel, please don't rely on the map"

"Okay."

The map can only stand in the way of sight if the enemy's position is not visible.

"But how are you hiding yourself?

"I'm not hiding him, I'm making him realize he's part of the labyrinth."

If you look closely at the map, the building - the pillar - is to be built where Lüze stands.

There are objects.

I had realized that no one was there because I assumed so.

"Skills that can interfere with the labyrinth. I can't think of anything other than [labyrinth manipulation] or [labyrinth magic]."

Melissa and Illis can do it if they want to.

However, I had ruled out the possibility because there was no need to mistake myself for someone who had previously used [labyrinth manipulation] as part of the labyrinth.

"I wonder if this is about Atashi. I'm surprised you didn't even think about running into other Labyrinth family members in the middle of your job."

Lüze says she was at work.

One possibility emerges given the anomalies taking place in the labyrinth today.

"You were sprinkling the Devil's Sword!?

"That's right. I needed a little more demon swords, so I let them produce with the help of the labyrinth. However, there were a few failures in the process of making it. So I finally gave it to some people to test."

"Failure -"

As a loser, I was able to do all that damage, so I was able to go satisfied with Lyse.

But I wasn't convinced by Noel's reason to say it was a 'failure' just because I was witnessing the damage caused by a failure.

"Mental contamination by the Devil's Sword. That's terrible. The Devil's Sword is a failure."

"Correct"

The power of the Devil's Sword is not an end in itself.

She wanted someone who could fully use a weapon called the Devil's Sword with special powers.

For this reason, the mental contamination of the Devil's Sword was only disturbing.

"I should have gotten enough data, and later I just need to ask the manual to adjust it. But you can't just leave me out of your way again and again, even if you're a failure."

"So you were ambushing me here"

"Yes."

Luce, who was working in the labyrinth, immediately noticed that Melissa and the others had entered the labyrinth.

So, if I was observing their movements, I could also confirm that they were heading straight back and carrying a familiar child. It was in Lüze's memory that he had the Devil's Sword in his hand.

I didn't know what the three of them were after, but I realized that they were likely after Jilly, who remained down in the stash room, because they were carrying Gem.

"Nobody realizes you're on the other side of the wall."

Lüze laughs at being perfectly gullible.

"So, I was going to slash one first because it was full of gaps, but you seem to have been avoided by the critical"

Iris attempted to avoid attacks from outside recognition from his account as a swordsman.

Only fatal injuries were avoided by sacrificing his arm somehow.

After that, if you kill the two of them, you're done with Atashi's work.

The sword that Lüze had disappears.

It was stored with storage ring and storage system skills.

Two red and blue swords that appear instead.

Melissa, good at magic, noticed at a glance.

"... please be careful. I am the Devil's Sword."

"Demon Sword!?

"And it doesn't look like it's mentally contaminated"

Lüze is waving the Devil's Sword to get used to the Devil's Sword as it has been happily ever since.

"I'm coming."

Flames were overflowing from the red demon sword in his right hand, and cold air was leaking out of the blue demon sword in his left hand.

"The most orthodox demon sword has succeeded in mass production."

Slash two demon swords into Noel's hand.

Use the scepter to bounce back the red demon sword and receive the blue demon sword.

"Ha!

The part that is receiving the Blue Devil's Sword goes frozen and the Red Devil's Sword is swung through again while it is being received.

"Please step back!

"Oops."

It is released from the electric shock from the scepter.

Lüze, surprised by the electric shock, jumps back and sets up the Devil's Sword.

"Do it!

Lüze laughs happily.

I guess it's fun to actually be able to fight.

"You shouldn't be too alarmed."

"Mmm..."

Six small rings are released into the universe from Noel's sceptre.

The floating ring starts to spin and hits Lyse.

The spinning ring cleaves the cave rock like a sharp blade.

"Do it."

"Go -"

A small ring that flies around at Noel's will.

"Within now..."

Melissa resumes treatment of Iris while Lüze's consciousness is directed towards Noel.

But a full-blown iris rises faster than using healing magic.

"I have to..."

Raise your hand holding the sword as you rattle and tremble.

Even the sword I'm used to using from time to time feels heavy for her when she's run out of magic.

"You can't possibly fight in that state"

"But the opponent is the same labyrinth family as us while we are used to fighting. With Noel, who is inexperienced in combat, you lose as soon as your opponent gets serious."

As Illis says, in Noel, we have to struggle.

We still seem to be able to fight each other because we're fighting like we're playing to test the performance of the Devil's Sword that Lüze just produced, not his original weapon. She also knows that Noel is weaker than she is.

And in Melissa, the wizard, Lüze, who specializes in melee, is made to struggle more than Noel in his opponent.

"Okay -"

I acknowledge the words of Illis.

At the same time…

'What about the Lord?

"I feel like I'm almost done"

As a witch, I confirm the state of Mars in my readings to Noel, who best understands the state of the Lord.

"Now, please don't force yourself to buy time."

"Okay."

Noel is using a small ring to keep Luce away from him.

It's hard to get close to your opponent while dodging a small ring in a cave that's not that big.

"Come here."

Let Melissa bring Jem and Jilly, who were watching the battle away in a small, magically created golem, to her side to collect it.

"- Call me over there now!

Two people snuggling up on Pitta and Melissa.

Noel checks on the back and asks Marus while he manipulates the ring.
