Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan

"... Do you want to shoot?

Having set up a black sniper wand and recognizing the existence of the enemy, Mize said so.

That means... kill? It's like asking.

Kill humans. It's that act that I've done as a matter of course for me, but not everyone's character like mine. By crossing this line, some people may even have the trauma to draw them back to their death.

"... take your fingers off the trigger. I'll take that role."

"I don't want Mr. Too Eight to carry it."

The words that came out of the rash seemed to harden Mize's readiness to reject them.

If Elysia, for example... she will probably be able to stay sane even beyond the line. It has that kind of spiritual strength.

Gran, for example... that man is also a soldier who was once on the battlefield. At that point, people are intolerant of death.

But Mize is... maybe the personality she'll hold in.

This is not discrimination. It is a question of disorientation.

I blocked the "telescopic crystal" attached to the sniper wand with my palm and looked at Mize.

"I guess the enemy hasn't noticed us yet. Now, if you shoot me, it's like telling me where you are."

Continue to convey the words to Mize, who pointy her lips with dissatisfaction.

"One day, it might be time for Mize to pull the trigger too. But now is not the time."

"... ok"

Honestly, it would be very helpful if Mize seemed to be able to shoot people without hesitation.

I can handle this alone now, but I don't know what lies ahead. Do you want to shoot? And her readiness to ask me, I'm sure, will not be in vain.

"I'm suspicious if I'm in a bad hurry. Let's take the distance as naturally as possible."

"But where are you headed? If you have enemies in that direction, you can't go back to the village..."

Look at the map obtained in the guild and answer the sigh mix.

There's nothing but a labyrinth.

For a moment Mize dared to ignore the fact that she sparkled her eyes.

Well, if this relaxes the swordswallowing air earlier, it's a profit.

The guild receptionist told me he would not recommend approaching without getting ready, but he can't get hungry on his back.

"Labyrinth......" Root of the Spirit Tree ""

Mize shrugged as she reached the cave, the entrance to the labyrinth.

Apparently, Mize knows this labyrinth.

Remember The Way of Wisdom Road?

"Yes, it looks like the previous owner knew about this labyrinth. I don't think I've actually explored it...... I seem to have seen the map and have some memory of the structure inside. I'll take care of the guide."

Convenient power. Mize, who is using it, is becoming a reliable presence in these circumstances, regardless of the combat aspect.

"The enemy should search the area for a while. It will come inside the labyrinth to some extent as well. I'd like to dive deep if I could."

"I understand. I'll show you around."

This time, we don't have to engage.

You just have to do it.

The cave leads diagonally down, and several divisions appear at the same time as it enters the interior of the labyrinth.

Labyrinth: The Root of the Spirit Tree. As its name suggests, a narrow path, like the roots of a tree, is a labyrinth strewn countless times.

"Oh, this. It's a herb."

On the walls of the labyrinth there were plants that we didn't see much outside.

Is this also a hallmark of The Path of the Spirit Tree? Many plants can be used to formulate drugs.

"... do that one"

Reminds me of my experience when I was a soldier in an institution.

That's when I learned that the know-how of exploring the labyrinth should help.

"Mize. The red herb there and the green moss. And collect the purple flowers."

"Okay.... are you going to use it for something?

"Sort of. I don't know if there's a chance..."

From the combination of medicinal herbs I specified, I thought you could guess what I was willing to formulate... Apparently Mize's "Way of Wisdom" doesn't have any knowledge of this formulation. Because pharmacy research is a daily step forward, it is likely that the memories of the past will not be remembered.

After the two of us collect the herbs, we head deep into the labyrinth.

"There are many demons ahead."

"... sounds like it"

This one also sensed signs of demons and nodded.

At the end of the narrow passage, there is a large room. There were at least ten demons in that room.

"It is also possible to detour, in which case it has become quite far away…"

"... no, I won't detour"

Go back and look for other paths, but at the current pace, the enemy won't find you.

But this is the labyrinth where demons lurk. Unexpected accidents are likely to occur, so being alert and approaching your enemies is inevitable.

"Keep going.... but you don't have to fight demons to be stupid and honest"

"Do you have any maneuvers?

"Oh, because the labyrinth has all sorts of tactics... this time, let's use the methods I taught you where I used to work"

I mean, it's a labyrinth tactic taught at the agency.

It is the turn of the herbs collected at the entrance.

"Mize, can you make a mask out of Alchemy?

"Mask, is it?

"Oh. Here's the shape -"

Draw a diagram on the ground and convey the image to Mize.

Having gained a high degree of magical control by the Path of Wisdom, Mize created what she was looking for, even though she was troubled.

"Mr. Tweet. This is a mask..."

Eventually when he sees the finished substitute, Mize looks complicated.

It's a gas mask.

Beside Mize making the mask out of Alchemy, I was working on the herbal formula.

Mix and polish everything while paying attention to the ratio. Create fire with a small magic fixture and evaporate the extracted clear liquid.

"That, no way..."

"It's sleep gas. We'll wait till it's full."

The white smoke that stood up filled the room at the end of the aisle.

"Okay...... time to go"

A few minutes to wait with the mask on. Enter the room without making a sound.

With countless demons in our sleep, we moved on.

"This is such a tactic..."

"The labyrinth is an underground space... the size of the room is so dense. Gas can be an effective weapon."

When entering the labyrinth on the job of the agency, most of them had gas-based weapons at their disposal.

I had guessed that nearly ten demons were lurking, but more than I expected.

Proceeding through the white smoke that stood up, two demons were asleep blocking the exit.

Kill me because I'm in your way.

"... miserable"

Bread, bread, and the sound of "Demon Bullet" emitted from my fingertips.

Walk over the breathless demons to the exit of the room.

Mize looked like she was talking all the time.
