As for the altar that Shelley and the others discovered, they thought it dangerous to leave it unattended and let the other adventurers do their work, sealing it and keeping it hidden from the surroundings.

Master writes magic letters on the stone pillars around the altar with his magical fingertips. The pillars were tied together, and the boundary was formed, and only humans allowed by the master could see it.

"Ah, um, Master. Thank you for coming to my rescue. There's nothing I can do....."

Liza tended to hesitate to call out, but then I realized that my face was stiff.

Clive was mistaken for the six-story shift, and he carefully deceived us until he took action. I don't know what happened from the time I escaped to here, but nobody noticed because my appearance had changed too much.

I thought there would be no opponents who would struggle early with Zeke, but in the same SS rank, it depends on the compatibility and sometimes the steps are bad. And it is not possible for ordinary people to kill someone with the same killer intent from the beginning.

If that's why Zed delayed a qualified opponent, you shouldn't blame him.

However, both Lisa and Sakuya are completely atrophied by Clive's overwhelming overwhelming power. What can I do to them at such a time?

The answer was not so hard. This is why I shouldn't have a hard face like a stone statue.

"Never mind. Bandits open treasure chests and take out traps. It's enough to keep you safe and accompanied."

"Eh... master..."

Still, I don't think that such things as relaxing the other person's feelings or using gentle words are suitable for sex.

I've been bending the doctrine lately even though I was trying to get them to carry out their purpose without being noticed.

And it's because this labyrinth is too harsh. Sometimes, he trusted too many people involved in labyrinth exploration unconditionally.

Lowe, Orlando, Primiere. I don't know if any of these three are intentional or not, but I've incorporated Clive into the Explorer. If someone with SS-ranked abilities came in hiding their identity, they would normally try to check their background carefully, but was Clive's disguise perfect, or did he join the fight knowing he was an escaped prisoner?

Either way, given that Shelley was badly wounded once, it is not warm to say that all those involved in the Labyrinth expedition have feelings and should be respected.

We'll lurk through the labyrinth, and the rest of us will maintain the Transformation Magic formation. Eliminate the risk that the Magic Squad will not be able to use it to get back upstairs while we lurk. Faithful observance of its basic principles is the best shortcut after all.

"Mr. Sakuya, Zeke. This time it was unforeseen, but we will need both forces in the future. Now go back upstairs and report to the Alliance Master of the Indigo Maiden Pavilion that we are safe."

"... I understand. I'm sorry, just because I'm late for the enemy doesn't mean I'm upset."

"Master, what about Sherry and Lotte?

The snake pattern on Shelley's chest is now gone. Sometimes you shouldn't just look at it, but it wasn't an illusion in my eyes, it certainly came to mind once and disappeared over time.

Sometimes she wants to wait and see until she wakes up. I want to go down to the eighth floor, meet Cody and the others, rest a bit and wait for Shelly to recover.

"Mr. Dick, let me come with you. I know that you are stupid to ask me this after knowing that you lack the strength. Still... if I go home like this, I..."

Lotte was with Shelley, but when she found out she was intact, she gradually settled down. The eyes are still red, but the usual gentle light is coming back.

"I'll tell you what, you shouldn't have to. I'm going down, but I'm going to escape through nine and ten levels and reach the magical formation of eleven levels. It's safer to go back upstairs and go back home, but it's more important than that."

"Yes, I know. Determines the strength of your enemies and fights only against opponents you may be able to fight. I don't want to pull my legs anymore."

"... I've never pulled my leg. Good work with everyone. This altar should be a clue to the Snake."

That's how I stroked Lotte's head. I will apply healing magic to restore the hair that was a little disturbed after the fight.

Then Lotte began to tremble as she sifted at me.

"... bah"

What if?

"Well, aren't you stupid! I hate men, I can't help but admit about Dick..."

"I know that. I'm sorry, didn't I treat you like a child?"

"Hey, kid... that's not what I'm talking about... thank you so much!

It was a different experience to be thanked angrily. Lotte rearranges her hair with her own hands and returns to her sister.

Sakuya and Liza, who were watching it, laughed for a moment forgetting that they were depressed.

"Ahahah... Master, it's only in the end that your head feels dizzy.

"When I look for aspirations, is there such a thing? Master just wanted to encourage Lotte."

"I don't feel guilty at all. Still, I'm still stupid."

When I scratched my head, Zeke was also unusual, with a faint smile on my face. I felt responsible for this incident and thought it would not resonate afterwards, so it is good to recover quickly.

"You're a lot younger than me, but you have a much higher vessel as a man. I'm terrified."

"I'm not ready yet. Maybe not for a lifetime."

"Say that again... please, just admit your worth a bit..."

"It's a master virtue and a point to respect, so there's no problem. Let's go back upstairs and wait. Probably because Clive was working with the patrol along the way, we also need to explain it to them."

What do they think of Clive's sudden disappearance? If you were one of these people, you might not care much, but if someone with the strength makes you disappear, some of you will be worried.

"I'll report the incident to Kasumi later. Now, just tell him Clive is dead."

"Yes, I understand."

"Ah, the magic stone that fell after I defeated him... please, Mr. Dick."

Liza will give me the Magic Stone. Look at that, I doubt my eyes - this is no different than the magic stone the demon Lord dropped.

The Demon Road itself is powerful enough to easily collapse a small city if it emerges. Because the SS ranked Clive turned into a monster, he turned into a high-ranking monster - in any case, that altar that could have turned Clive into a monster is extremely dangerous.

But that altar healed Shelly's wounds. Assuming that the sign of the snake has something to do with the "Berthalis Snake", I can't be optimistic, but it is also possible that the altar gave power to Sherry, who gave his blood. I decided to ask my master for his opinion on the matter.

Master is outside the altar, accompanied by sleeping Shelly. Unlike earlier, Master's condition returned to normal.

"Master, what happened to Shelly? As far as I can tell, can you tell me?"

Master thought he didn't want the other members to hear about it yet, or he urged me to come nearby. She whispers in my ear as she approaches the master who is kneeling on Shelley.

"As Dee thinks, Shelley borrowed the help of a 'snake'. That altar was sealed with the Spirit of the Snake. I think it reacted to Shelly's blood."

"Ah... is that... Shelley's possession of the power of a snake?

"I think so. But don't worry, you don't feel evil, do you? It's not like Shelley has become our enemy."

"... shouldn't I? You have to watch carefully until Shelley wakes up."

Shelley is quietly breathing. The broken chest came into my eyes, and I turned away in a hurry.

"Dee, I was really angry earlier, but I'm glad. Go back to your usual, Dee."

"... I'm sorry. Even if I couldn't forgive you, I should have given you another chance."

"If you think about what would have happened if we hadn't come like that, there's nothing you can do about it. Dee, even if you didn't do it, I would have done it."

As a matter of course, she says. And he took the magic stone in my hand and said, looking at it.

"Even if I look like this, I'm still going to kill you. If Yuma-chan purifies it, it will calm down a bit."

"Can you hear the voice of your soul? Then I'll hate you....."

"Yeah, I guess I'm more obsessed with women than that. Just holding it makes my head hurt."

Return the stone to your master. Maybe I can hear Clive's grudges if I ask him how, but there's something better not to hear.

"Dee, you don't have to blame yourself. If it's a painful package, I'll take half of it. I don't care about everything."

"... no, I'm not that delicate, so don't worry."

"Really? I think it's a lot nicer than me. That's for sure."

Even if you smile, you can't give back a good answer right now. A gentle one doesn't kill people, but he only troubles his master when he says that.

--And considering that, Master is smiling as if he was in trouble.

"At times like this, the other kids are better than me, I'm sure... I'll have to do that later."

"Shall I? You're saying something disturbing..."

"Yeah, it's nothing. Dee, it's time for your girl. [M] Take Sherry upstairs."

"Ah, ahh... I think we should hold him in this position rather than carrying him."

Hold Shelley up while supporting her body. It's a princess hug, but you need a trick to carry a weak opponent.

"...... nh......"

"It's going to take a while for Shelly to wake up. Dee, don't worry, we'll take down the worm."

"Oh, well, I'll need an escort downstairs."

"" Got it!

Master and Lotte move forward a little, then follow. Fortunately, it was only once that we were caught in the searching range of the worm, and we were able to defeat it without any problems.

◆ ◇ ◆

Entering the eighth floor, Lotte was surprised at the changes in the surrounding landscape, just as we were.

But the lake is more noisy. In other words, I never imagined that the scenery with a high skin tone rate was coloring the shore of the lake. Lotte first asks questions before I do.

"Um... why are you all taking off your gear?

"I can't predict it. The Aquarian in the lake did a" rain begging ", didn't he?

"Ah, that's why the ground is wet. So, I wonder if Irene is angry."

It was Eileen who was showing off a splendid swim in the lake. It's nice to jump in with just underwear, even though you said you couldn't drink Aqualan's water just now.

"I missed you so much, I can't believe I owe you back! Puhah! Don't wait!

The Aquarians, who seemed timid in character, apparently had roots, and revenge by showering rain on Eileen on the lake shore, so they all got wet.

Verlaine also made fireballs to dry everyone's clothes, either because the maid's clothes got wet or just wore a piece of underwear on top of her underwear. Yuma, Cody, and Miralka also sat with tired expressions.

"... uhh, they're back. Welcome home, Master. Would you like to eat? Or me?

"When I'm told that I'm dressed like this, I feel like I'd rather choose the latter, but it seems like it's been tough."

Not only Verlaine, but everybody looks just like underwear or underwear, so I move my gaze ambiguously to see where to look. Then Miralka abandoned us embarrassed.

"If you think you've finished rating me a monster, you're just saying that you were rooted in what I chased you away from... I can't guarantee your life, so if you want to stay with us, you have to blindfold me."

"It's not like we're stuck here, but this time we're in the middle of a flood. It would be better to try to purify it once... oh yeah, is it okay because there are yuma?"

"Even with me, the weather will rain, but I can always clean it up ♪"

Blurring into Cody, Yuma looks at the healing smile as usual. Cody thinks I'm coming back, or he couldn't get rid of the salad even though it was wet. Wouldn't it be better to come back a little late?

"Rather, we were both losing our minds because of the intense upset that we had to point out. What happened to Sherry? It's not peaceful to hold a princess."

"I've been searching seven levels, and I've discovered something new... but I've been attacked by an enemy that was caught up in the expedition. Speaking of which, you're safe, but instead of going back upstairs, we need to see you until you wake up, so let's get you some rest."

"Mmm, I see. In this expedition, I brought you the tools for the camp as a precaution. It's just a tent on a cloth that keeps moisture out."

"Until then... I really want the technology to expand the capacity of that basket"

"Fufu... then I'll teach you. Well, there was something I could teach your husband."

Verlaine says happy, but the exposed brown skin really gets into her eyes and she gets into trouble with her eyes. Especially at the bottom, I take off the garter stocking that I always wear, and my barefoot feet are very healthy. The richness of the chest can't be confirmed again.

"... Mr. Dick, you mustn't.

"Wow... it's hard to get closer without warning. Yuma, what are you talking about?

"My soul is dyed peachy. Peach is a bad color. Among human desires, the lust of the flesh that the monk should sever first... is sexual lust."

"I'm sorry... I didn't get enough training. I'm not exactly the same as Yuma, but how can I clear my mind?

"Isn't that... I wonder if purification is good? By entrusting Dick's soul to my hand and soothing it, I sublimate my peach thoughts... ahh, what a wonderful idea..."

My mentor was complaining, "I wonder if I'm old," but I agree with him in my heart. Yuma is no different from Verlaine, but she is certainly poisonous to her eyes. Why do thighs peeking under a shirt pull a man's imagination to its limit? No matter how close you can't see something like cloth, it's unlikely that you're not wearing it, but people still expect it.

"Thank you, Dick, for carrying your sister. If you can drop me off there, I'll accompany you."

"Ah, ahh... please. No, I'm not thinking of anything bad, am I?

"I can't help but say that you're honest about what you say yourself. My eyes were swimming, and I thought it was hard, and I felt a little sympathetic."

Lotte looked at me carefully at the beginning, but half of it seemed to be a joke, and she laughed because she couldn't bear it.

"Fufu... I'm sorry, I laughed. I feel relieved to see you."

"Oh, that's good. If you don't mind, you can eat and rest until Shelly wakes up. We'll have both of you come upstairs."

"Yes, I understand. As the leader of the party, Dick will do whatever he wants. I think my sister will feel the same way when she wakes up."

"Thank you for coming."

This temporarily brought my party to nine. [M] I can't help but wonder if everyone but me is a woman and enjoying a full and active vacation, such as camping and eating at the lake.

"Master, this tent was brought out of the guild, so you know how to make it, don't you?

"Oh, I see. So this is my hidden camp set."

"Was it? It came out of the chest of your husband's room. No, I didn't try to find anything bad in Master's room."

"There's no easy way to find something like that. I mean, don't look for people's rooms."

Rather than being pathetic, there are works of art that have written about noble human senses, but since there is no problem even if a woman reads them, I want to reopen them even if I find them.

Although the books distributed for adults in Wang Dynasty may be described as "poor books," the limited number of copies produced and the only books produced by individual publishers make them quite valuable. Even if popular works emerge, the copy artisan will copy one book at a time, so there is a limit to the number of artisans, so it is better to make 100 books per month. Popular books are not necessarily of these kinds, but also educational and magic books, so even if there are 10,000 books made in the King's City each year, there are only a few thousand entertainment books.

What I possess is the work of a masked writer who recently appeared, a novel called "Mistress of the Twilight Mansion", but this is quite well made. A man visiting the mistress is so dull that no matter how much he entertains, no matter how stretched he approaches, he doesn't notice the mistress's feelings at all.

After being introduced and read by Lisa, I was derailed by the fact that the writing power that is written in a comedy tone for women and depicts a glossy scene with sensual and honest strokes has a universal character that can be enjoyed by men.

"I don't know if it suits Verlaine's hobbies, but I'll lend it to you if it's a modest novel."

"Mh... well, how sad is that? Is it only written within the limits of a literally acceptable depiction?"

"No, those parts are really polite."

"Ho, ho... why are you seducing me? I'm going to grasp your husband's secret and bury the outer moat with it. This will reverse my position....."

"Well, we're pretty old, too."

"At my age, I realized that I was a mature adult... but I can't deny that I was in line with your husband... no, I was a queen, so I had no choice. It's not like I'm never attracted to being a woman, because the suitor was pretty good."

You don't have to be particularly ashamed of each other for having lived a life that has nothing to do with that. I have been an Alliance Master, so I want to make an excuse that I can't help it.

But what is a suitor? During Verlaine's demon kingdom, the upper classes of the demon kingdom were arguing about who would become the queen's husband. Working for us in our shop without accepting the proposal was after all a serious attempt to assume some responsibility as a man.

"Dick, I'll help you too. You're gonna stretch and stretch this strut, right?

"I'm in a situation where I can't move right now, so please don't look at me for now."

"Miralka-san, you've got me covered and wet... that passage has been taken care of."

Is that why Miralka has dried her underwear? - No, don't look. If you observe Miralka's white back carefully, the entrance to the Underworld will open.

Metal pillars with stretchable mechanism, waterproof tents and clothing made by Dwarf technology. Rather than a camp set, it's a camping gear that adventurers crave from their throats. I had a lot of trouble getting it, and I took a big one.

That's how it works. While thanking Verlaine for bringing it in, I started setting up a tent in the shade of the tree a little further from the lake, listening to Eileen swim a bit.
