Isekai Taneuma

Labyrinth

Feng came to look for the magic mushroom relying on the map of the elders, where he found artifacts like Stonehenge. The Elder only wrote it as a shrine of God, and apparently there was something in it that made him feel like a psychic barrier.

Leonardo looked at the shrine and said it might be a labyrinth. The Labyrinth was one of the Alliance's biggest goals, so to speak, as adventurer guilds around the world looked for its location and sought to acquire the treasures it contained.

When Leonardo was talking, Mary, who had seen Guillaume for the first time, and Phoenix, who was obsessed with magic mushrooms, approached him with interest.

"What? Is this place so unusual?

Sort of.

"What's in it? I wonder if there are treasures hidden like gold and silver treasures."

When Mary asked, Leonardo smiled bitterly.

"No, it's not that immediate. No, in a sense it may be imminent... but the treasure gained by attacking the Labyrinth is a treasure of incredible ability."

"Speaking of which, I've heard it somewhere before. Can you get a guillaume-like qualia?

"Hmm. That's a lot of potential, but technically a little different...."

Feng and the others are twisting their heads.

Well, they'd be sick, too, if they didn't have a clumsy explanation in front of the labyrinth. That's what Leonardo thought, and he started talking a little longer.

"... Feng has talked to you before. He was aiming for God in his previous life. Specifically I was trying to find an idea."

"Oh, that's what you said. Is that it?"

"... every time a human sees an object (material), what is it? Compared to ideas, we make decisions. For example, if you look at a cat, everybody can see it as a cat because they have a cat idea that everyone has in common.

By the way, even between civilizations without contact, there are times when we find commonalities in myths and laws. Isn't that also possible because there are thousands of ideas? In other words, there is something like the idea world that is invisible in reality, and our human souls may be connected there.

Then, this is also possible.

God created man by breathing his own breath into a doll of earth. Therefore, the human spirit is believed to exist in the soul. A soul is not shaped like smoke and can be any shape.

When a human sees something material (material), the soul changes into its shape and remembers its shape. The soul then compares its shape with its idea to determine what the substance it has just seen is. In other words, souls are not considered as a bridge between matter and ideas.

Every time a soul sees something new, it changes its shape and keeps remembering its shape. The next time you see the same thing, you don't have to check the idea, and you can judge the shape by itself. This is not Qualia.

Once formed, the more you look at the object (material), the faster you decide what it is. But on the contrary, the more you know, the less humans know what it is. I don't think I can see the back of things. So once in a while, Qualia checks the idea and fixes it.

Ideas are believed to exist not only in matter, but also in images and ideas. So, the harder you think, see, and hear things, the more you connect with ideas. In other words, the more thoughtful and action-oriented Qualia is, the closer she gets to her idea.

What kind of soul has formed such a quality with a strong connection to Idea?

God created man like himself. In other words, the idea of man is about God. There is no time for God, there is eternity. For example, even if a human dies and his qualia disappears, ideals will not disappear unless mankind disappears.

But what happens to a strong qualia when the person who formed it dies? Quoria, who approaches the idea indefinitely, is no longer fragile enough to disappear if she dies. Like Idea, it should become immortal, leaving the flesh and being like God.

That's the Labyrinth. "

There was silence around. To understand Leonardo's elusive story, Feng, who had been listening hard in his head, could not immediately understand the conclusion and suddenly remembered it after some silence.

"... eh? A labyrinth!? A labyrinth wasn't like a dungeon!?

"Sometimes it takes such a shape. It's like you have to attack a dungeon to get the treasure... Well, it's obvious when you go inside, but the point is that the labyrinth is a dead human souvenir (quality).

As I said before, human souls are connected in the ideological world. Then our souls and labyrinths are also connected through the ideological world. In other words, the Labyrinth does not attack with the body, it does not attack with the mind. And if you attack the Labyrinth, you can take over the quality of that person's life... that is, will and memory. They call it the treasure of the labyrinth. "

Feng chewed and digested the old man's explanation.

Somehow I got it. Anyway, if we attack the Labyrinth, we can inherit the memories and abilities of the dead?

Then Leonardo nodded carefully.

"Dear Left, and needless to say, someone who leaves such a strong quality behind is not a superhuman. For example, you might be able to use powerful modern magic like Guillaume, or you might be able to realize fantasy like a clown... Some things may be useless to some people, but they don't hurt. Therefore, the Labyrinth cannot be attacked."

"Hmm... what do you actually get?

"You've used ancient spells before, haven't you?

Feng remembered when he was told. Last time we ran out in a border town offensive, we fired a big shot at a soldier outside. I remember it well because it was the magic Feng was good at in previous life's games, but it was definitely a forbidden curse lost in our world.

"It was a long time ago before the demon king was crushed, but I gained that power by attacking the labyrinth of the ancient Great Wizard. Well, fuel efficiency is so bad... if we succeed in this labyrinth attack, even humans may be able to use ancient spells."

Mary stepped forward to react to this word.

So, if I attack this labyrinth, will I be able to use my research too?

"If only the owner of the qualia could have used it during his lifetime. If we don't know exactly who left the labyrinth, we don't know what we're getting."

"Hmm. Well, shouldn't we go in there until we know?

"If that's possible. Unfortunately, there is only one human quality in the world. Therefore, if someone gets it, the labyrinth will disappear. I've been doing some research for a long time, and if someone attacked me first, I won't have any children."

"What is it? Well then, if we don't decide who gets it first, the six of us here will compete."

When Guillaume leaked that feeling, Mary responded to it.

"Then I want you to give it to me. It could be a chance to learn about researching."

"That's why you said you don't know if you can remember. Basically, I want it, too. Jeanne, right?

When Guillaume shook the story, Jeanne wandered.

"Eh!? That's right... well, yeah. That's why the Labyrinth strategy has been one of my goals since I became an adventurer."

"Then you want me, too. For now, it's useless in battle. Shut up. I think I need it the most."

Even Feng insisted that they would not take a step back, and they began to look at each other face to face and hold each other hostage. Leonardo broke in like he liked the four of them.

"Don't make a mistake about this, lords. First of all, if we don't cooperate, we won't be able to attack the labyrinth."

"Well... that's true."

"Besides, who decides who gets it doesn't always get the treasure. The Labyrinth is not a human qualia, to say the least. Getting someone else's view of something requires flexibility to change one's view in the first place, and there is a sense that it doesn't fit before getting it. Sometimes you get what you don't want, and vice versa. The point is, if you don't come in, you won't know."

"Hmm, that's what I'm saying...."

In Leonardo's explanation, Mary looked a little sad, then lowered her head toward the three people she had just stared at.

"It wasn't very popular. Leo is right, let's all work together."

"I see. Fighting like this is boring."

"Well, then, whoever got it didn't complain. If you think about it, I was interested in the Labyrinth itself, and that's all I care about."

Even Guillaume said that, and Leonardo, who had heard that,

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

"My grandfather said that. It doesn't make sense to be long and let someone get ahead of you."

"That's exactly what I said.... hmm"

In Feng's reply, Leonardo frowned and thought a little.

I see. They say it's only at first sight, so you can explore it a little. "

"What is it? Grandpa's not coming with us?

"He has already attacked several labyrinths. I have acquired treasures before and I do not intend to increase them any further. I'll give it to you, so don't hesitate to come."

"No... if you have experience in tactics, I'd like you to come with me..."

Apparently, the old man has decided to leave a message. Likewise, she said she would stay because she was afraid of manicures. Feng and the others felt a little caught up in Leonardo's attitude, but they couldn't resist the charm of the labyrinth in front of them and decided to go inside alone.

"... I don't know what's going on, so let's start by lightly exploring the entrance. Why don't we go back to camp and talk to the Guild Chiefs?

"Oh, that's fine. It's not a rush."

Well, let's all go carefully.

After responding to Jeanne's call, Guillaume, Mary, Feng, Jeanne... the four of them stepped into the labyrinth one by one in that order.
