Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~

When I woke up, most of them were still dreaming. I started stretching as I watched it and was thinking about how I should treat them as criminal slaves.

I think their abilities are pretty good.

Even without the power to stand out individually, like Lionel and the others, everything is organized and at a very high level of collaboration, and it interacts well.

Once the healer guild is rebuilt and Yenis has a healing home, I will travel again.

I didn't feel comfortable leaving them in Yenis' healer's guild at that time.

"... it's just hard to take them all, and I wish I had any hands on them."

I shrugged about that, and Naria woke up before I started working out magic from the stretch, so I decided to make breakfast with her.

Think about who you're taking on my journey.

After finishing breakfast and checking the physical condition of each squad, I will communicate my goals for the day.

"From here it becomes a labyrinth that has been enlivened and made. There have also been reports of demons appearing such as Red Lizard Man and Fire Bear. Exploration will take longer than yesterday, but no problem. The goal is forty tiers, but we're going to keep safety first and proceed with great care today!

"Yes."

Tell each squad additionally as they hang an area barrier.

"If the demons are strong and difficult to explore, you also have to think about putting the team together. I hear the trap will be vicious from here on out, so be careful."

Keffin and the others laughed out after a moment of shuddering.

"... Did I say something strange?

"No, I'm glad you're worried. With so many more people like S-Class, it'll be easier for people like us to live."

Keffin and the others set out for a search to the thirty-one tier, nibbling.

I tried to be angry, but for some reason I couldn't be angry with that smile.

I sighed and started exploring my group with an area barrier.

"It's hot."

Physically speaking, I feel that the temperature has risen around ten degrees. It's not the heat that shines in the sun, it's the heat that twitches like when you're near a stove.

"You'd better take some moisture. Don't hesitate to say it."

That's what I told Lionel and the others. I only feel the heat on my face because I have the equipment to which the temperature regulation has been granted, but they will not enjoy it because they are subjected to this heat throughout their body.

Meet each branch of the labyrinth, stretched four hundred meters in all directions. Gradually filling the map will proceed, but although the speed remains unchanged, gradually there have been many burns and scratches.

Still, hanging area heels makes them happy to embark on exploration.

"I kind of feel like I'm working for the devil, is this a good idea?

"I'd like to explore like them."

"I want to go, too! I'm sure it'll be more fun."

That's what the Combat Madness Combination said.

I'm sure their wishes will come true soon. Because there is no map up there from the forty tiers.

I went through the labyrinth without saying it.

It took me an hour to get up one level, but when I went around the labyrinth of trials, I finally walked full day, so I figured out how man-made sea tactics worked in the labyrinth.

I decided to make it lunch in front of the stairs going up to the thirty-six levels. I was seen with a strange face when I opened the lid of a barrel with object X slightly to keep the demon away from me and returned to everyone.

"... you can drink that, but it's not what I put away to make you drink it. Yeah, and then the demons don't come near me. So there's no need to keep an eye out. I did it because everyone gets a break at a time and it's efficient."

When I told them that, they were all staring at the barrel of object X.

Whether they were cooking, eating, or finishing and resting, they watched the direction of the barrel the whole time.

And it really seemed to be re-recognizing object X's awesomeness that demons didn't come close.

What do they think of me drinking an object X with a cheerful face that even avoids demons? I didn't have the courage to ask.

Thus, as yesterday, collecting the maps from each squad and filling in the blank zone, the number of traps began to catch my eye again.

"So is it okay if I keep going up like this?

I asked the three leaders of each squad, and Keffin replied on their behalf.

"You can't go as far as the forty tiers. But when we're safe after that, we're going to have to increase our numbers."

Everyone, including Keffin, seeped remorse in his face when Keffin said so.

"Right...... ok. Now, we need you to reconstitute your team from three to two."

I looked surprised when I said that, but from the start I meant it.

"... we can go as far as the forty tiers"

I felt Keffin's words contained anger, but I replied with a laugh.

"It is also assumed that when we reach the forty tiers and then form a squad, the collaboration will not go well. It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to avoid struggling in vain. Besides, it's been a long time since I've had stress. Let me enjoy it a little bit."

I don't know how my excuses appeared to them, but I was accepted after being stared at with pity.

We filled a blank area to the forty tiers, but there was not a single crate.

I don't know if it had already been recovered or if a new hierarchy could be formed without a treasure chest, but it even reached the boss room on the forty tiers.

"You're not here."

"Right. You must have moved on."

Maybe they found the shakers.

"… is that likely"

I was hoping to get here, but Lord Jasuan and the others were nowhere. Lionel and Ketty reacted to my whining and each said what they thought, so my thoughts come together.

"If I destroy the demons in the main room again today, I'll put in a break. After tomorrow, we will look at the situation above and use this as a base to look for Lord Jasuan and the others."

"Okay."

Lionel says that, bows his head, and Ketty mimics it too.

The boss of the forty tiers was not Kimyra, whom Lord Jasuan fought, but five flame-wrapped servile tigers.

Its speed and aggression were very high, but Lionel blows it off with a big shield, and Keffin and the others at once end it with an overall attack.

At that time, while remotely heeled by the injured criminal slaves, Naria tows the demons that are likely to come closer to us, Doran holds the gavel, and Paula protects me with a three-metre golem.

Normally, it would not be strange to struggle, but this time it was over in a matter of minutes. With reliability, I recovered once and for all with purification and area high heels and started preparing dinner.

The dinner proceeded with a soothing mood, and each was thrilled with stories of good combat.

I was just finishing my maps after we had dinner together, and I started a tactical meeting that included captains Keffin, Yalbo, Badel and Lionel from each squad.

"Then start an offensive meeting. Forty tiers to go from tomorrow, but the demons are expected to be stronger and the labyrinth wider. Suggest how to proceed on that."

"Okay, let's start with me"

I nod because Lionel asked me to speak with my hands up.

"Starting tomorrow, I think we're going to be acting in three squads, but let's have me and Ketty separately at the exploratory party so far and braid the rest of the squad as Lord Luciel's escort"

When Lionel says so, the voice of rebellion rises.

"Old man, even we can fight with more people!

That's what Keffin said and yelled at me, but I felt anxious because the danger would increase when the two of them were gone nearby, but I also thought it would be the most efficient.

"... to improve the efficiency of exploration and reduce the probability of death even if you suffer injuries?

"Yes, if the demons that came out here upstairs were walking normally wide, injuries would be good, but instant death could also be considered"

"Gu."

Keffin looked down like he had chewed up a bitter bug when he was told it. I guess I was aware of that.

"Even if Lord Luciel is attacked, they can be shields as long as they can continue to recover. There's a golem, so it won't be that dangerous."

"With demon stones, we can do anything."

Paula said so holding hands.

I remember someone from my previous life, but I immediately shook my head off and accepted this proposal.

"... ok. I'll leave the formation to you. Next, about heat control and exploration, but first, can you create magic artifacts as heat control?

"I can. But I need it?

Paula tilted her neck.

"We're used to hot spots, so we don't know what it's like."

Doran added and answered. Then aren't they vulnerable to the cold? The question arose but when I looked around I replied that I didn't need anything else.

"Right. It's just that if you scratch a sweat, you should rehydrate it. Next, the strategy changes depending on the situation, but I think the five tiers are the limit a day. He thinks he doesn't mind a tier a day watching each squad drain. Any objections?

I didn't go up from anyone to this.

"Let Dolan and Paula take a look at the exhaustion of the equipment. Talk to each team later about formations, etc."

"Yes."

As I worked out my magic manipulation after the meeting, I groaned in retrospect that it took me more than a hundred times longer to reach the forty tiers in the labyrinth of trials.

"If this is... no, I'm just lucky. I can't believe this is going on forever..."

He prayed to God and his ancestors to keep his mouth shut and to make tomorrow's quest safe.
