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

"Are you sure you're okay with number seven...?"

The evening of the day.

After we broke up with Lana-san, we quickly moved to the Seventh Labyrinth.

I thought I'd make it number three for beginners, but Mr. Rowga said number seven was fine.

Oh, it's better from number seven.

”But, Rana-san said that even if you knew our rank, you'd start from number three, right?”

"Come on. Do you trust her more than I do?"

When Rowga-san told me that, I didn't have a word to return either.

No matter how much the Veteran Explorer says, you can't trust more than your fellow Explorers.

"If Zeke and Liza get into number three or something, it'll annoy the others." Rather, number seven is not enough. "

Is that right?

"As usual, you're not confident." It's absolutely fine, I guarantee it! ”

Dawn and Rowga stretched their chests.

What, are you a little uncomfortable fighting Lana?

The attitude of being more confident than usual is, on the contrary, somewhat unsettling.

Is that it?

Eventually, I saw a small square at the end of the street.

At its center is a mausoleum made of stone, with holes.

Looks like this is the entrance to the labyrinth.

"I see, it's a bad wind."

A dimly lit stone pathway that leads to the ground.

Liza narrowed her eyes as the wind blew up from there.

With the smell of moisture and dust, there was a slight irritation that numbed the skin.

It's not unpleasant, but it seems to contain something similar.

"Most of the monsters from rank E to rank D appeared in the seventh labyrinth." But don't take it easy. The labyrinth itself was like a monster. If you are not careful, you will be eaten. "

“You're right. Then I'll do my best.”

”... no, Liza doesn't have to do everything she can”

Kurta and Nino nodded in silence, in tune with Rowga's twinkling.

"If oneechan gets serious, it's going to blow through the labyrinth floor..."

I don't want to stand out from the crowd, so please don't do that.

Just in case, Siegfried can't do too much, right?

Huh?

"... you're still unconscious as usual. It's a good match against Liza-san."

Oh, Nino says something harsh.

I don't think there's anything like my sister.

I'm cute compared to that horny guy.

"... what the hell is that? Let's go ahead anyway." I don't have much time till night. "

After dividing the conversation, Rowga went straight down into the labyrinth.

To follow him for a few dozen minutes.

At the curve of the aisle, a soldier from the human skeleton appeared.

A wandering ghost soldier, a skeleton.

Was it an adventurer? He had light armor and a dagger.

Let's start with me.

Do you need backup?

It's okay, I'll try it alone.

That said, Kurta-san pulled out the dagger that was pointed at her waist.

And then, as if to tame it to your hand, it's spinning.

It seemed like a magician or something.

Let's go!

Having finished warming up, Kurta took a forward leaning stance at once.

She instantly closes the distance with the skeleton and cuts off its neck.

The blade that entered between the joints cut off the head and torso without resistance.

A divine act with a skeletal gap.

Ryuishi, you said that A-rank is not Date.

But immediately after that...

"Whoa!?"

Kurta-san's cheeks were covered with arrows.

In the meantime, a skeleton with a bow was peering at us from beyond the bend.

It looks like Kuruta has pierced the area where we finished attacking.

It was quite a collaboration between the monsters.

"I see, this may not be much outside... oh my!"

Kurta tried to deal with the accident calmly.

But here, the sword suddenly came out of the floor.

Oh no, it's a trap!!

Suddenly, we cooled our liver, but Kurta twisted her body and evaded immediately.

The tip strokes the light armor and scratches it white.

"Shit! It's already there!"

Ms. Kurta threw a dagger as she gently tongued.

The dagger was sucked into the skeleton's head while drawing a brilliant curve.

Crunchy, light sound.

The skeleton's forehead shatters and falls to the ground.

After checking the situation, Kurta immediately checked the other side of the bend.

"... okay, looks like you're not here anymore."

"Onee-san, are you hurt!?"

"Hehehe, I just got a little scratch on my armor." I wonder if I can get rid of this by polishing it as well. "

Kurta said that and laughed, but her eyes were serious.

The danger of the labyrinth seems to have been felt by my skin.

Almost there, the sword was going to stick into my body, so I couldn't help it.

Well, now you know that the labyrinth is terrible, right?

"If you knew, please stop." even if your sister gets injured..... "

"I was going to intervene if I had to." Besides, if it's Kuruta, it won't matter if it's a hyah. "

Nino nodded reluctantly but convincedly when Rowga said so.

No matter how much you say it with your mouth, there are many things you don't know until you feel it.

I'm sure you didn't think Rowga-san was so wrong.

... I'm still very dissatisfied with what I've done to Kurta.

"In the meantime, I'll explore your trap next." This should do a lot of good. "

In that case, maybe Noah should do a magic detection?

"No, the trap was a trick that didn't use magic power." I'm more suited to these kinds of things. ”

I see. Then I'll detect the monsters.

That said, I immediately developed my magic power and pushed it out.

Suddenly, dozens of monster shadows appeared.

It wasn't much of a monster, but the numbers were amazing.

In terms of density, we may not beat the boundary forest.

Hmm?

What's the matter?

"It seems that for a moment, an incredible magical force has reacted..."

Just for a moment, it felt like a huge amount of magical power had passed through the back of the labyrinth wall.

"There's not such a strong monster in this labyrinth..."

Not to mention, there is no passage behind the wall in the first place.

Then Rowga looked at me with her neck tilted and laughed.

"Well, the labyrinth is alive." I guess I just reacted to that. "

Oh, I see.

"For now, let's move on." Even though it's been almost three months, we need to be in a labyrinth early on. "

"That's right, Fum-san's designated labyrinth seems quite difficult..."

"There's a hidden passage in the back of number 12 that can only be accessed by members of the cult, right?" It's one of the most dangerous districts in the world, so I can't compare it to this place. "

Rowga-san's words once again make me more attentive.

Thus, the five of us were slowly going into the back of the labyrinth.
