I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

"A stingy bull? What is that?"

In the name of an unknown monster, I immediately tilted my neck.

Kurta and the others seemed to be unaware of it, and they looked strange.

Could it be a very minor monster that was limited to the labyrinth?

"Well, isn't it impossible not to know?" They say when it comes to bulls, they don't die the same way. "

"...... I don't think it's a curse or anything like that?"

Sister Liza asks nervously at all times.

I felt like my voice was trembling without my heart.

Speaking of which, it seems that you said before that you're not good at cutting things with your sword...

Curses and such might be surprisingly frightening.

"It's not like that..." That's right, if you talk about it, it'll be a long time. "

Having said that, Mr. Rowga put a little alcohol in his mouth.

When we see him somehow creating a heavy atmosphere, we are naturally quiet.

"It is said that the labyrinth was originally created by the gods to contain the evil gods." It seems that the magic power is gradually removed from the evil god's body and turned into a monster to purify it. "

“I've heard of it. There is a similar legend in the East, isn't there?"

"About a thousand years ago, there was a mage who abused this system in the time of ancient civilization. It changed the flow of magical power in the labyrinth and created an army of monsters to follow."

"Speaking of which, it's like I've seen such a story in a book..." Was it really the Great Mage Bulk? "

"Ah, the bulk. This mage has built his own vault in the labyrinth." The monster created to protect it is a stingy bull. "

In other words, if you defeat a Taurus, you'll get the magician's treasure.

In response to my question, Mr. Rowga nodded slowly.

But... even though the labyrinth is full of romance, is there such a legendary monster?

To be clear, I feel very frivolous.

I wonder if my sister and Kurta thought the same, and they were not convinced.

Then, Lana smiles and says, "You understand our question."

"The Explorers thought this was a fairy tale." But during the upheaval ten years ago. There have been successive sightings of bulls in the labyrinth. "

"Huh? But that's what I mistook for a normal Minotaur..."

Minotaur, a half-man and half-bull monster nesting in a labyrinth.

Not a Seeker, but a monster as famous as I know it.

Probably a lot of habitats.

The eyes are said to be blue, but it's no surprise that I misjudged them.

"At first, everyone thought so. However, there were also sightings in very shallow hierarchies. It's been rumored to be real."

So I was the one who visited Velchen when I was younger when I heard the rumor.

Mr. Rowga has distant eyes, as if she was nostalgic for the past.

I've been telling you things that have happened to me a lot, but I don't think they're all bad memories.

The expression is calm and the mouth of the story is calm.

"I've just been promoted, and I'm doing fine." I was trying to take down the rumored bull. That's where I stumbled across him. "

"It's a coincidence, isn't it? You see me, and suddenly you're like," Become one of us! "I thought you said so."

Isn't that right? Lana said something to me, didn't she?

"Ah? That's why..."

Well, well, it doesn't matter now, does it?

Damn it, this is going to happen soon!

When I sighed, Ms. Rowga coughed herself back into her mind.

Unlike before, he talks with a terribly steep expression.

"Anyway, that's how we paired up and dived into the rumored fourth labyrinth." That's where I ran into the stingy bull. "

"Did you see her?!"

"Oh, I still remember that day. It was on the way home from the 8th Labyrinth." There were many monsters that day, so I cut them up earlier than usual... and there he was. Those blood-soaked eyes can't be forgotten even now. "

Mr. Rowga's voice trembled faintly.

At the same time, a sweat gushes out of his forehead.

"We fought him, but to be clear, we didn't win." Regular minotaurs are at best at the top of the D-rank. We can afford to defeat them. But he couldn't see the bottom of his power. "

Are you strong even from the Rowga now?

"Yeah, I still don't feel like winning."

"How did you escape from that?"

"... I used the transfer bauble." That's why you left the labyrinth. "

Well, I was on the verge of bankruptcy because I was billed for the usage fee

"It can't be helped, can it?" It was a debt. Even I became desperately poor. "

I see, that's how it was.

You've got an approximate picture of what happened to Rowga-san back then.

It seems that defeat and painful expenses are the cause of the mistake, even if it was unavoidable.

"Since then, there have been successive sightings of taurus, but he is a monster that leaves no trace at all." The guild investigation failed to gather any evidence of its existence. In the meantime, the turmoil is over and the rumors have disappeared. When I moved from the guild to the Chamber of Commerce, I seemed to have lost a lot of materials and stuff. "

"I see, a monster that leaves no trace..."

"But he exists." That's all I know for sure. "

Rowga-san's face crushed like that was always serious...
