"- So I've been given permission to maintain the status quo."

Return to the mansion and gather your people to report.

However, each of the women's arms holds her own child. Being able to take my time for a long time meant that my kids didn't stick together and leave me betterthan they did yesterday.

"Then you'll figure it out for a while."

"Well, I'm going to have to run away to increase my income anyway."

Like the Alliance Master said, if our rank keeps getting high difficulty requests, it's the amount we can repay one day.

Saving money is also important, but I could say that if we worked harder than ever, we could solve the problem.

"Then you have nothing to say from me."

Sylvia shuts her mouth without being dissatisfied with maintaining the status quo.

The same was true of the others and there were no objections.

"So, what do you do when you say request?

Ira asked as she raised her hand.

Our Adventurer Rank is A Rank. It's also a heterogeneous party, almost everyone in the party, and their ability to fight exceeds the S-rank.

I'm not in a position to take on the requests posted on the Adventurer Alliance bulletin board.

"I have an idea about that. Let's work with a lender of debt."

"That's the quickest way to do it."

Everyone's gaze is directed at the woman who was enjoying tea and sweets in the back of the room.

"Have we finished our discussion over here? Then let's go to Rio."

The woman who put the cup down and stood up - if Sonia raised her hand, a black sphere would appear in the living room. [Transfer Hole (Warp Hole)] made of skills. By passing through this sphere, you are free to come and go anywhere.

All the Sylvians' families stand up and try to follow them.

"Just explain the situation again through my mouth, I'm all you need."

"But..."

Noel folds his ears with a petan for an uneasy look.

"Don't worry. Pick a place to meet."

We can stop time as long as we're indoors.

"I don't think I have the technique to do something about someone who can just stop time..."

Sonia says.

Rio, the same labyrinth lord, may have some special skills, but there is a difference in power between the 'reacher' and the labyrinth lord who is not.

Sonia and her family shouldn't do anything bad that matters to Rio.

"It's okay. Mars has me following him"

In the end, we were to take only Illis to travel.

The destination is the emperor's office.

Coming back to Imperial Capital with Sonia's skills, Rio handled reports that came busily in, giving instructions one after the other.

I was sitting on the couch in the office drinking tea and watching how it was going.

The ministers at the head of the department visit the office one after another, report to Rio and ask for support.

Emperors are powerful in the Empire. The minister coordinates the report and gives instructions to the field, but it is Rio who has the final say. You don't have to go through Rio's judgment if it's something you normally do, but an important decision like the one you're making now requires Rio's judgment.

Most of the ministers are in the office looking at me.

If anyone comes looking at you with a flicker, then there are those who come looking at you with a frigid eye. The former is one who knows how important I am in the Glenvarga Empire, and the latter is one who doesn't.

If you don't know, if the suspicious person is indulgent in the office, you don't have to kick him out, but Sonia next door is working it out for you.

Those who do not know the face of the emperor's side room without knowing the face of the adventurer just as well cannot come to the office.

"Phew."

About a few minutes after visiting the office, Rio calmed his hips in his chair exhaling. I guess I'm tired because I was busy moving around between people in the office while I was listening to the report.

"I called you from over here and I'm sorry I kept you waiting."

"Never mind. I could see something interesting, and I got a lot of information."

Rio became emperor in a forceful way.

There was some anxiety about being able to think and act on the minister as emperor, but if he moves vigorously in this way and is trusted by the minister to visit the meeting as well, you don't have to worry.

"I'm still an emperor. You can't make a weak noise of" I can't. "

"Right."

You figured out what I was thinking. I was blushing a little.

"Gardis Empire...... sounds like a pretty tough place there was"

"Oh, it's still overflowing with demons"

Many of the ministers who were visiting the report were consultations on what to do with the places where the Gardis Empire was and how they intended to treat those still in the Oneiros Plains.

It's like the national territory has suddenly doubled. However, the land obtained cannot be effectively used because it is overflowing with demons, and it seems that those who have become new citizens cannot also carry out productive activities.

Clearly, it's like more luggage.

"Still, you can't abandon me."

I have already become a person of the Glenvarga Empire.

The people of the former Gardis Empire may feel somewhat bitter, but I'm not going to abandon them to Rio.

"If it weren't for this painful situation, we could have worked together a little bit more."

"No, because it helped me a lot"

Rather than Rio......, the Glenvarga Empire was asked to provide half of the funds it needed to expand the labyrinth.

"But I'm the one you were going to get."

Our offer to Rio is "Foreclosure of the reward of the request in the Gardis Empire".

I got my treasure out of the treasury for that.

It is difficult to make the Emperor's decision alone on a precious treasure, no matter how strong the authority. Reasons were needed to convince the ministers responsible for finance.

"It wasn't any other HR for me. It's only natural to cooperate."

"That's a story that the unrelated people don't understand."

I need a reason not to explain the labyrinth to the ministers.

"This is how you beat me to my expectations."

"There's a part of you I'm not convinced about."

"Tell me more."

I originally visited Rio to share information.

Explain in detail what happened in the labyrinth.

"They must be dead."

"Oh, totally wiped out"

I'm watching the moment it disappears, and [Appraisal] confirms that it's me. In the first place, I don't want to think of Zeon as a shadow fighter or a fake who was that strong.

However, there are certain things that cannot be ignored.

"He said at the end, 'I haven't given up'"

"... that's meaningful"

Zeon also understood their condition.

That's why I went into meaningless actions to restore my family's condition.

Still, I haven't given up.

"Do you have a clue?

"No!"

We're going to find out more about whether there's anything left in the labyrinth.

Still, according to a brief examination by Illis, nothing seems to be left of the clue.

"Everything in the situation says he's dead. I still can't believe it."

"What you're trying to say is, watch out for me."

Nodding at Rio's words.

Alistair, you're the one who thought about taking over the labyrinth. It's not weird trying to do the same to other labyrinths.

However, when I say I'll be careful, I have nothing but to have Zeon contact me when he comes in.

"This isn't my labyrinth. Still, it's one of the few powers that my [world] can fight against [its own]. I'm willing to spare your cooperation."

"Okay. If we find them, we'll report them."

Pass the pledge like it was an Adventurer's Guild, and your conversation with Rio is over.

"The place that was the current Gardis Empire has become a zone of chaos. There will always come a situation that even S-rank adventurers cannot deal with. Then I'll ask you to do it as a priority."

"Thanks"

The Emperor gave me a promise.

At least I can feel safe because I'm not the kind of person who gets paid.

"What are we gonna do after this?

"I'm going to go and say hello elsewhere."

"Then ask Sonia to take me"

"Are you sure?

She should be one of the side rooms, too.

"People are not good at it. Sonia would be more helpful if we were helping her move."
