I left the Great Forest and returned to my capital.

And I decided to head out to find the labyrinth quickly.

According to information received from Mr. Minoshaw, one of the test labyrinths of the Fourth Reich of Massimagna is located just outside this territorial capital.

As for that labyrinth, I was told where it was at Pinpoint, not in the general area, so I think I can find it right away.

Looks like it's around the street that leads east from the east gate of the territorial capital.

Besides, it's close to the territorial capital.

I ride a flying dragon and search the streets from above.

There is nothing like a conspicuous structure, so the ground part is probably destroyed, just like the 'Itemmer's Labyrinth', leaving only the underground labyrinth part.

From above, I can't find anything like an entrance.

I'll go downstairs and look for it.

But looking from the ground, I can't find anything like an entrance...

The biggest question is whether 'righteous claw marks' use it more than the existence of labyrinth or labyrinth ruins...

So I decided to explore "Wave Detection" to see if there were any signs of people around here.

If there were no signs of people in the first place, it would mean that even if there were labyrinth ruins, 'righteous claw marks' would not be using them.

Then you don't have to find it.

Even if there were a labyrinth or a labyrinth site here, as Mr. Minoshaw's information suggests, it doesn't seem to be used for "righteous claw marks".

At the moment, you may not have to look for it.

For today, do you want to pull it up...

That's what I thought, that's when I tried to go home.

... I felt something.

I walked toward the sign so I could be drawn.

It's visible from the streets leading east, near where the villages of the villages used to be.

The site of the field where it was the village of the outermost manor... no... it's an adjacent meadow there... I feel something there...

This feeling... what is it...

Is it the effect of 'treasure mining' skills... or is something different working...

I followed my senses... in the direction I felt the strongest.

... approaching... on one side of the meadow, nothing in particular seems to be the entrance to the labyrinth.

Maybe there's an entrance under here...

I take the scoop from "Wave Storage" that Nana from "Home Spirit" made before.

I decided to dig the ground.

Thanks to the limit breaking status, I can dig crisp with little tiredness.

I dug a circular hole about five meters in diameter about three meters and hit a hard rock.

That's when all of a sudden the hard floor slid left and right!

Stairs appeared in the open space.

Apparently, it's a hit.

It would definitely be the entrance to the labyrinth.

I'll be inside soon.

Down underground, it was a circular space about twenty meters in diameter.

One place, there's something like a door, so I tried to get close... but there's no sign of it opening at all...

If this is really the sister labyrinth of The Tester Labyrinth, a hierarchical blockade may be working from the first basement level.

Isn't it dormant?

That's what you think...

Suddenly, 3D footage appeared in front of me!

A woman with purple hair.

Again... it feels similar to Darry in the 'Tester Labyrinth' management system... she's a beauty with a Japanese face.

And he's dressed in a white cloak just like Darry.

Sounds pretty sure.

"Dear Dungeon Master of 'Tester Labyrinth' and 'Itemmer Labyrinth', welcome. I am the labyrinth management system of the Ibiler Labyrinth, the second labyrinth for testing."

The stereoscopic video greeted him that way and bowed his head.

"I'm Grimm, nice to meet you. Quick, but is it okay that this labyrinth is alive and dormant?

This is the third time, so I'm a lot used to it.

Therefore, I bumped into a single question.

"Yes, you're right."

"Is there no Dungeon Master in this labyrinth?

"Yes. I'm not here. The labyrinth is dormant. Exclusive information-gathering capabilities have allowed us to review your volatility information. I have checked with you, the master of my sister's labyrinth, and you have come into limited operation."

When the stereoscopic footage said so, it shivered slightly as the image felt disturbed.

Somewhere, it feels powerless...

"Is the function of this labyrinth damaged, too?

"At the moment, no significant damage is considered. It was just a long dormant, so there's some damage. You need to restart to see what's going on."

"If there's no major damage, shouldn't you stay dormant? Once activated, this labyrinth may be noticed and those who come to attack may appear..."

I thought the best safety measure would be to maintain the status quo, and I asked.

"Yes, that's possible. However, I think it would be best to restart once and after checking and repairing the features, to dormant again. I would also like you to be the Dungeon Master of our Labyrinth for a reboot, please"

Again... that's how it comes, isn't it?

I'm taking on two more, so I don't mind...

I would also like to cooperate to save it in good condition.

Besides, if I become the 'Dungeon Master', I won't be misused if anyone else finds me...

"Fine. I'll take the Dungeon Master, how long does it take to reboot?

"Yes, I don't see any significant damage, so the reboot itself is supposedly over in a few days. It is unlikely, but if significant functional damage is found, you will be in recovery mode. In that case it will take even longer, but we don't know the actual time"

"Which is safer to run the labyrinth after the reboot or dormant it again?

I tried to run into that question.

Me, it's a pretty hard decision...

"Yes, a difficult question...... dormancy is safer if the assumption is that no one will discover it. If someone discovers you and forces you into the labyrinth, it's safer to get it up and running. I reactivated it after an intrusion and it will remain unprotected for a while..."

Hmm, it's still hard to judge...

"For example… can we keep the labyrinth operational and keep the entrance sealed so that no one will discover it?

"It's theoretically possible. However, if you are active, you are more likely to be discovered by the owner of a skill, special item, etc."

What...?

Do you also have such skills and items...

Well, you don't know if it exists in this day and age.

If anyone really had that kind of skill or item, they'd be finding more and more.

I think the story I heard before said that finding a new labyrinth is almost non-existent...

Nevertheless...... as to whether to put it into operation or dormant again...... troubling......
