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

Until dinner I spent as much time with everyone as I did yesterday, but after I broke up, I headed to the labyrinth of trials alone.

Proceed to the entrance of the labyrinth, reassured that the card that activated the demon guide elevator could also be used without any problems.

"You might feel a little stinky in the labyrinth...... OK, let's drink Object X and get in the mood before we go in. I haven't gotten any better lately, and I'm not going anywhere."

I started drinking it for the first time in a long time, with a little stupidity, when I took the object X out and poured it into the jock.

The next moment I remembered the flavor, I felt my consciousness retreat, but when I managed to poke one knee, my consciousness awoke.

"... my consciousness is flying on top of the shit... I've gotten a lot softer too"

Whispering to myself, I slipped through the store and opened the door leading to the labyrinth of trials.

As I started walking through the labyrinth of trials, I quickly found Ghoul, knocked him down with my heels and picked up the Demon Stone. but I noticed a critical point here.

"Why would a ghoul show up on one level?

Yes, there was a demon that didn't show up until we crossed the twentieth level.

"You smell so bad from the start... I'll just have to hope this isn't Estia's setup"

The number of demons increased with each descent from the floor. We took down those demons and proceeded, and gradually I arrived in front of a ten-story boss room.

"Now if there were quite a few demons inside, it would definitely mean that the labyrinth is revitalizing again,"

I opened the door to the boss room and proceeded to the center of the room. When we reached the center of the room, the lights lit and demons appeared.

"Less than when I first visited here..."

Purifying magic, the battle ended immediately.

But the memory of death...... I was recovering the memory of dying, to be exact.

"At the time, you were put in here with no magic available, and you didn't die well. I could have managed to defeat the boss, but if I had made a slightly different move or thought, I wouldn't have been in the world already."

I remember the old days vividly, I picked up the demon stone and decided to move on, reassured that there was no resurrection of the boss himself.

"I don't see why demons that can't normally come out of shallow floors are resurrected. Normally, we broke through the labyrinth, so the power of the labyrinth should be diminishing. Then why?

I decided to go further down the labyrinth without thinking about it.

The undead do not suffer when they wave a fantasy wand that accumulates the purifying magic of sacred attributes, turning them into demonic stones.

"We know that in the labyrinth where the Fire Dragon was, the adventurer touched the Demon Stone, which is a trap, and enlivened the labyrinth. But this is an unacceptable place for anyone but church officials to enter. Plus this labyrinth is hard to break unless you have high mental tolerance."

Then the person who enlivened the labyrinth can enter this labyrinth and become one who is mentally tolerant and highly combative.

And in this situation, when it comes to the most suspicious person, it becomes Estea.

If the Dark Spirit is manipulating me, what the hell is the purpose of the Dark Spirit... if the delusions that led to such a story come to mind, I put an end to it, and I speeded up my legs to the hierarchy ahead of the labyrinth... but got a time-up without obtaining any blind information.

"If we're going to dive any further, we risk passing it on to the killer, and assuming Estea is the killer..."

There were no bosses in the boss room on the thirtieth floor either. I was relieved of that and decided to turn back by deciding that it would be better to communicate this situation to the Pope as well, where the labyrinth would be enlivened.

The next morning, after breakfast, I was visiting the Pope's private room.

"Thank you for your time."

I thanked him as I thanked him.

"You don't have to worry about it. My concubine couldn't talk to Luciel much the other day either. Besides, is it too much for the Lord to visit here alone?

Speaking over the cloth, I decided to ask the Pope to look into the situation inside the labyrinth of trials he saw yesterday and the matter of Estea.

"Thank you. I'll sit down. Actually, the labyrinth of trials is starting to enliven... there are signs of that"

"Become?! I didn't know the Labyrinth of Trials would be enlivened...... anything on your mind?

The fact that the Pope is so surprised will mean that this report has not yet come up.

Maybe the Pope doesn't know much about the labyrinth, either, that the Pope doesn't know the phenomenon of activation.

With that in mind, I started explaining.

"I went inside yesterday about the labyrinth of trials and realized that it would be enlivening... just as an example of a similar situation happening, it had enlivened even after stepping through the labyrinth of obsession in Yenis, where the Fire Dragon was"

"What's the cause?

"At the bottom there's a trap... the trap is a big demon stone, but when I touch it, the evil gods seem to know about it, and I discovered the adventurers in an undead state."

"If so, didn't someone enter the Labyrinth of Trials... does Luciel guess so?

"Yep. Until recently, I was diving through the labyrinth of trials, most likely my successor, the Demon Master, or Estea, whom I brought with me."

I was wondering if I could say it, because if I were possessed by the Spirit of Darkness, I might not care about the stench of corruption, or because it was conceived that the labyrinth would be activated by the waves of darkness.

But soon the hypothesis will collapse with objections from the Pope.

"It doesn't. More than she is a Spirit Magic Swordsman. So we need to get Luciel's successor checked out."

"Wait. Why is it that being a Spirit Magic Swordsman has not entered the Labyrinth of Trials?

"That's because concubines are spiritual summoners. Of course, there is the patronage of the Spirit King, but the concubine is to assume the role of choosing the fate of the Lord, not the fate of the Lord."

For a moment, I can't help but think of the Pope as my wife's candidate.

It's a secret that my breasts have learned to squeal.

I wasn't sure if this roar was a surprise to hear a statement from the Pope or whether it was caused by drinking Object X from yesterday.

However, from the fact that I'm in my early twenties just looking at my face, and very beautiful and my type, I thought that would be it...

However, surprised that the Pope was like his aunt, he also decided to stop in his heart and now to listen to what needed to be heard, feeling uncomfortable that the Pope would have the final decision.

"... is the realization that the Pope has the protection of the Spirit King a predecessor?

"That's what happens. The patronage of the Spirit King cannot be inherited without the use of the Spirit. I was surprised by the boulder when I saw the Spirit Knight floating in Luciel's job. If you give the Lord the protection of the Spirit King, he will go against the Spirits' will."

Will I have the protection of the Spirit King when I become a Spirit Knight?

If you honestly don't have a use for protection, is it ego you feel you don't need?

"Is that why you put off my promotion then?

"Bye. Of course, it's true that if you do, you won't be able to use Holy Class magic. Because spiritual knights can only use spiritual magic."

"Then you can stay like this."

What I have in my identity is not to die.

If I can't use healing magic in this world, I don't know how many times I would have died.

How can you let that go?

"That's no different. Let's get back to business, shall we?

"Yes."

With a gentle grin, the Pope began to turn the story back and speak.

"A concubine with the protection of the Spirit King knows the approximate position of a concubine with the protection of the Spirit. The closer it gets, the more accurate it gets."

"... is that even if Estia is possessed by the Spirit of Darkness?

"How did you know that the Dark Spirit could be possessed by Estia? Estia was called to church headquarters so that the Dark Spirit could see what the concubine was seeing. So whether the Dark Spirit possesses it or uses Dark Spirit magic, it's useless to trace Estia."

On the boulder, the Pope would also have known about the possession of the Spirit.

But I try to appease myself and come up with a scenario that sucks and I assume.

"... if I seduce, direct, or enslave you with the power of the Dark Spirit, do you understand that?

"... you don't know. It's tough. We need to confirm all staff immediately. And we must bring Estia's figure and Forenoir."

You don't know where the spiritual body is, even though you know where the spiritual protection is.

While I made a new discovery, I decided to put Forenoir out here.

"If you're a Forenoir, you're in a stables of concealers. I can get you out of here right away, though?

"What!! Is that true? Let me see Forenoir."

He had a suitable look on the Pope, who shrugged out like a child, not to fit into the grief he had just had, but the word naive.

When I turned the hidden key, the Pope shouted at the stables.

"Forenoir!!

Did you hear that voice, and soon Forenoir came out of the stables of the concealer?

Unlike usual, Forenoir approached the Pope with joy and began to lick the Pope.

"You're ticklish. Forenoir, I missed you."

The Pope started talking with a hug around Forenoir's neck, but was that a sound I wouldn't hear, or something different from what it felt like yesterday when Forenoir and the Spirit of Darkness emitted light and communicated.

Then for a while the Pope and Forenoir kept talking. And did you finish the conversation or did the Pope ask you to keep Forenoir?

"Can I keep Forenoir for a while?

I didn't even have to think about defying what the Pope said.

Because Forenoir felt like he wanted it too.

"I'm going to want Forenoir to do the same, so I'll see you later."

"Thank you. And the samurai shall go in, and the LORD shall go to Estea. We're in Granhardt's private room."

Is the private room that torture room?

Though I had only a completely unpleasant feeling, when I left the Pope's private room, I told the maids that Forenoir was inside, and then headed to Mr. Granhardt's private room.
