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

The day after the operational meeting, the resistance led by Lord Alberto set off for the imperial capital.

I want to believe that you will listen to Mr Bazak properly this time.

With that in mind, I whine thinking about the information Estea and the others heard yesterday.

"Still, fake Lionel... I didn't know the cloud was breaking the chains of slaves connected to the Duchy of Brange... you'd be surprised, to be honest"

"But it's a possible story. If you've changed from the magic of a person to the magic of a demon clan, it's not strange if the imprint of slavery has degenerated there."

Then Lionel, who was half a step ahead, said so.

I never talked about, heard of, and no one seemed to know that slave prints would go away with magical perversion.

Well, I'm not talking about it because I'm not just degenerate, I'm also changing race as a demon.

Will adventurer cards, etc. not be able to use the same thing if the magic power changes? With such a simple question in mind, I ask Lionel what he thinks about why the Duchy Brange did such a chombo.

"Nevertheless, did the Duchy Brange send a cloud to the Empire without even looking into such a simple matter?

"Research on demonization has progressed only recently, really. Maybe the demonized can undo their magic at their will... I was wondering if it was reasonable to assume that we didn't have time to look into it."

"... sure. But just because we know that there are more than fifty demonized soldiers, and more than a hundred expected, this operation is going to shrivel."

I also found that the number of demonized people in the Empire is about fifty, but I have decided not to pepper much about this.

More than that, apparently, it turns out that the emperor also tolerates it when it comes to demonization.

The look on Lionel's face when he heard it was very scary, like a god before the battle.

"Those who desire and become demons will return to the earth, and those who are unwillingly demons will be restored, and some will be saved."

In Lionel's restful words, I felt just a little saved.

"Right, right. Yet I couldn't ask because Mr. Bazak and the others were there yesterday, but what kind of hearing do I have to get that far? Sounds like you broke your mouth right after the tour?

"Yes, we were also surprised to open our mouths immediately after just giving us about three glasses of Object X, as Master Garba taught us to do."

"Lucielle, who can drink with the liquid, is just unusual."

"But that's how I get out, so thank you to Luciel."

When Keffin, working forward, stopped his hand and looked at this one before answering, it was then a strange conversation where Ketty scolded me and Estia lifted me up.

What do you care? These three are close. I decided in my heart to leave it to the three of us if we were to hear it in the future.

At the same time, Ketty doesn't put her feelings on the table about Lionel, but she'll be fine if we leave the matter to the two of us.

It seemed that way.

"You're about to have trouble judging if you're being incited or denigrated... and yet, you get into the empire at an ops conference, but you extended it by a week, didn't you?

"Yeah. It's no easy thing not to cut off the feeling of being expensive"

Lionel nods deeply and moves on.

But that's not what I was trying to say.

"Normally, at times like this, I wonder if it was the muscle that sent Rina and Nanya to the Holy Capital?

"Those two don't want to leave Lord Dolan," he said.

Sure, yesterday evening, when I told him I was going back to the Holy Capital because I had time, he said he would stay in Evisa, but I guess that's because there's a drain.

"You decided to make it a week off, didn't you?

"Yeah. That's why I need to change my mood at times like this."

I agreed with Ketty.

But I didn't realize this morning that people change their moods differently.

I just sighed deeply about it, and Keffin, who had finished the work, called out.

"Dear Luciel, the trap has been lifted."

"Oh, I think I can see the stairs right now"

"Then let me get ahead of you."

And when Estea with the map told him so, Keffin was heading ahead to disarm the likely trap.

Yes. We were diving into a labyrinth that currently connects Evisa to the Empire.

I've been buying all kinds of ingredients and food in the morning, so I thought it was a little strange.

Still, in case something happened in the Empire, it was a buy-in, and I was impressed and bracketed high.

In the meantime, we will be dropping off the Alberto descent to the position of the labyrinth, and if we notice it, we are attacking the labyrinth. Obviously I think it's strange, but I didn't pinch my mouth much because everyone seems to have fun attacking me.

I almost wonder if this is really the right way to use the holidays, but there was nothing to differ about but me, so I had no choice but to dive into the labyrinth.

"Lionel, isn't it any different to use the week you were supposed to devote to rest for a labyrinth attack?

"It is Master Luciel's always said, the best way not to die. We were lucky enough to get a map of this labyrinth, and maybe even more of Luciel's new powers."

I do understand what Lionel says. It's not wrong for me to take the best way not to die.

But is it strange to visit the Adventurer Guild in the morning, win one-on-five anomaly matches from adventurers, buy a map of the labyrinth, and always slaughter demons on the front line even after entering the labyrinth that something feels wrong?

I have a problem with my head.

"I do always say it's the best way not to die. So I'm never saying it's a mistake to raise the level, and I don't think so. But... do we need to hang the chase here?

"Yes, this is still enough. The brave men and heroes of history have always been in contention. And Master Luciel is no exception, and he will surely be caught up in the war."

"... ominous. And you're kind of sure of that."

If that's what Lionel's samurai tells you, I'm in trouble because it doesn't seem like it's possible at zero.

"Yes, I've had an experience that I can't think of before, and I'm sure Luciel will be involved in a lot of things in the future."

Lionel, who tells such an ominous hunch in the labyrinth, looked as lucid as he did not consider ominous.

Lionel doesn't really tell me what he meant. Just watch me grow. I always felt like that.

That's why fighting evil gods and protecting me made me want to ask Lionel what he thinks of the levels and skills he's built up so far that he's empty.

"I have such an ominous feeling that you're my squire often. Very helpful, but is Lionel really okay with my squire as it is now?

It became a slightly mean statement, but Lionel had a family in Yenis.

I've always wondered why Lionel, who is no longer a slave, was following me so far.

But Lionel, having heard my words, doesn't look like he cared much, and he turns to me and says:

"... When I was an empire general, all I thought about was the empire. I don't think that was wrong either, but there was always emptiness there"

"We're not at war, but lately we've got everyone in contention, and it's no different from when we were in the Empire, right?

Sure, since I became my squire, I would have lived unrelated to war, but still lately, even though force majeure has forced me into a battle to risk my life against things like demons and evil gods.

But when I think about it, Lionel smiles and opens his mouth.

"Taking a person's life means closing that person's future forever. In times of war, I always ran around the battlefield hoping that my opponents would retreat, so that my allies wouldn't get hurt. It was so vain."

Lionel's Imperial Era... you never really thought about it or heard of it.

"It's the difference between cloud mud compared to then. Since becoming Luciel's squire, there have been many heartfelt battles, as well as an experience that is not normally conceivable. And the wonderful experience of flesh rejuvenation."

Lionel said so and smiled. I didn't feel as if I regretted or miserable about that smile.

"Don't you have any regrets?

"There isn't. We fought dragons, we fought whirlwinds (both), the mighty enemies, and we also fought demons against evil gods. And with this rejuvenation, I can aspire to further heights. And we had a family."

"You broke it off."

"Ha. It's not. I defend the future of this world by protecting Master Luciel. That's what I'm thinking."

"... don't think straight with me about the future of the world. Whatever it is, it's an exaggerated expectation."

"It's a legitimate assessment. And I have ambitions."

"Ambition? Can I ask you something?

"Yes, as a former Imperial General, led by his squire and supported by the wise Luciel, it is to be found in the biography in which Luciel is portrayed"

An unexpected sphere of change puzzles me.

"Huh?"

"Once I have a biography of Luciel, it is my ambition to be told off as a loyal minister who supported Luciel the wise. Ha ha."

Lionel walked ahead laughing.

"Biography... I think it would be great if I saw Sir Leinster's biography, but my biography would line up next to it..."

I went down to the ten levels of the labyrinth, tense.
