Return to the Emperor's private room in Imperial Castle.

If you are in the Imperial capital, you can return freely in Rio's [Metastasis (Warp)], the labyrinth lord, to be treated as an intralabyrinth.

All the families of each other are gathered in the room.

"You were watching."

"Yes, you've seen a very troublesome demon."

Mr. Cattleya also saw the sight of the battlefield, so he understands that the enemy is not a 'mountain' but a 'turtle shaped demon'.

Siege weapons in Imperial Castle.

S-rank adventurer who admitted to being the strongest of adventurers.

All you can do is temporarily stop the movement despite the considerable expense. Besides, the only reason I stopped moving was because the demon used the big moves and ran out of effort. Sonia and Pina were also active in stopping that special attack, but it turns out they can't defeat demons if they rely on soldiers and adventurers.

This is outrageous.

It's like saying you can't defeat an empire with its possessed power.

"S-rank adventurers are never weak, either."

"That demon is clearly a level demon who loses his country. As individuals, even S-rank adventurers with prominent powers are unlikely to have gathered a few."

All of Rio's family members are nodding at Mr. Cattleya's words.

I basically don't imitate her like I disagree with her because she's the leader. Still, everyone was in agreement this time.

What you need is more power than an S-rank adventurer.

"The status quo, should we rely on those who have taken over the legacy of God"

Labyrinth lords and labyrinth families.

There is no longer a 'witch', and 'Virgin' cannot be expected in the sense of combat power.

"This is an imperial matter. We'll work it out."

Rio in the Lord of the Labyrinth in the Empire.

We want to solve this on our own, even considering our position as emperors. Anyway, if it's a minor problem, if it's an imperial crisis, it shouldn't be a problem for emperors or queens to come out... if they're in good health.

"What are you going to do if more than half the party members aren't in a state where they can fight?"

Mr. Cattleya and Mr. Leesia are already pregnant with the second.

Three other family members were also pregnant, and Marie had just given birth.

Even though we're still in the early stages of pregnancy, we can't let them have a fierce fight.

In fact, six people are out of combat.

"And the remaining Sonia and Pina specialize in skills"

We don't have the same skills to enhance our attack power. Moreover, the status growth is smaller than that of other dependants because they allocate it to resources for special skills.

Is it possible to crusade Mount Carthea in Rio alone?

Definitely not.

"What do we do?

……

Ask Rio who gets lost.

As things stand, if there's someone you can count on, there's only about us.

There is only one non-combatant here.

"... please. Save the Empire."

As an emperor, I had to break it.

It is necessary to protect the safety of the ruled because he is the ruler of what is absolutely powerful.

"What's the reward?

You ask an adventurer for a job, so you need a reward.

"You don't want gold coins."

With gold coins, we can make it as powerful as the labyrinth.

But converting too many gold coins into magic can lead to the disappearance of gold from the world. Then the world's economy will stagnate.

I don't want that, so the reward is better for something different.

"If possible, magical tools with powerful effects in the treasure trove of Imperial Castle -"

The more powerful a magic tool is, the more it can be converted into immense magic.

The Empire attacked and destroyed nearby countries and went enlarged. For this reason, they also store weapons with powerful magical effects that the attacking and destroying country cherished.

Besides, he's confiscating assets from nobility when Rio took office as emperor.

A treasure trove where various magic tools slept.

I hadn't decided exactly what I wanted.

But if we save the country's crisis, we'll have some pretty amazing stuff...

"I don't know how much magic I can get until I [convert magic]. Rio has something better than the uncertain."

"Good stuff?

Word of Illis.

The most efficient way to get magic should be with powerful magic tools.

"Magic tools are fascinating indeed. But it should be more efficient to exchange magic as it is."

"Oh, I see."

All I cared about was what I used as my magic to get a huge amount of magic.

It was more certain to have a direct magic exchange than that.

"You give me the magic that my labyrinth possesses directly to your labyrinth."

"How you can do it because you're a labyrinth in a cooperative relationship"

Direct exchange of magic power is not easy.

I was taught by the labyrinth nucleus that the explanation that it is established by bringing the labyrinth nuclei accumulating magic closer to each other is now...

I couldn't tell you this before because I didn't need to do that. No matter how close we are, it's not enough to expose each other's weaknesses. In the unlikely event of betrayal and destruction, it is a life-threatening matter.

That sounds the same to Rio.

"Okay. I swear to God, putting your labyrinth nukes in front of you isn't a sabotage."

I even write a pledge and I swear.

This prevented Rio from attacking my labyrinth nucleus.

Conversely, this one doesn't imitate like swearing on a pledge. I don't care if you destroy me in case I betray you. Sounds like Rio's sincerity.

"The reward..."

"A hundred million in magic. There must be plenty of room in the labyrinth of the Empire, which is slowly absorbing magic from the people who live in the Empire."

Expanding the range also costs more to maintain than Alistair's labyrinth.

Minus that, the amount of magic the Imperial Labyrinth is gaining is enormous.

The most 100 million is still enormous.

"… if you can save Empire at that level of expense, let's think of it as something cheap."

"Dear Rio!

"I can't replace my belly on my back"

Actually, it's supposed to be quite an expense, but Rio drank these terms.

That's all I want to be beyond S-rank adventurers.

I'll tell the rest of them on the scene that you'll join the rescue team from here.

Thousands of soldiers are still left in the place where Mount Carthea was ravaged. Their role is not to crusade Mount Carthea when he wakes up, but to be a little off target for the Imperial City or to buy time.

I don't even know if they're coming. You can't keep reinforcements waiting forever.

"Maybe we should move soon, but it's like we're sleeping out of magic over there, and I'm ready for this one, so I'll let you crusade when it's tomorrow."

"I will always pay the reward. So... please."

"This one must also be Mount Cartea - no more, no more Cartea. I swear I will crusade that demon."

I honestly believe my words, Rio.

There is trust between each other as to whether there is something that the Lord of the Labyrinth passes through.

But the families don't either.

"It's that size. Normally, you don't win."

"Unlike us, you've seen weaknesses in person."

I couldn't immediately believe my words that Mr. Cattleya, the leader, or Nanaka, who boasts maximum firepower, already knew how to defeat him.

But I'm not doing anything to change policy.

"Just destroy the demon stone, the weakness of the demon, as first planned"

If possible, the Demon Stone is where we want to recover it, but this time we need to make destruction our top priority.

And the way I figured it out wasn't a way to destroy the Demon Stone, either, until I found the Demon Stone.

"He's not a mountain, he's a living demon. There's a gap in there."
