Labyrinth Restaurant

"I don't think there's enough labyrinth."

One day, the Demon King said that.

"Labyrinth...... feeling, is it?

Alice, who was listening, doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.

"Yeah, this place was originally a labyrinth, but lately I've been remodeling and building more, and I feel like the original cave face is gone"

"That's, well, sure"

Explained, this labyrinth began with the first cave, followed by the building of additional towers in the ground area and now several large buildings around it, the size of which is still expanding in all directions. The management by the diligent homunculus is impeccable, and guidance boards and the magic team of transfers are installed everywhere on top of being kept clean at all times, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.

"I don't mean to say I'm in a bad state right now, but I thought it might have been more interesting to leave a little bit of a labyrinth."

This demon king, by the way, has a past where he first prepared a labyrinth with the intention of attracting in the first place. He thought it would definitely flourish if he created a kind of theme park: hanging out with delightful attractions (labyrinths, trap ants) and cute animals (demons, carnivores), and enjoying a meal in a restaurant.

Fortunately, the mistake was corrected and traps and demons removed before the dead came out, and now it's safe, but if you make a mistake, it wasn't a strange situation for the dead to continue.

"But is it funny what a labyrinth is in the first place?

So Alice asked the fundamental question. The labyrinth doesn't look very interesting just to think about, like the dangerous trap of an attachment or the threat of demons.

Because the magic accumulated inside the labyrinth can materialize and be replaced by useful items and precious metals, it is understandable for an adventurer after a thousand bucks to enter the labyrinth, but it still didn't seem like Alice would enjoy the labyrinth itself.

"Labyrinth... dungeon is a man's romance"

"Are you a romance?

"Dead fights with demons, teamwork with breathtaking companions, riddles full of humor and intelligence, and a sense of accomplishment with treasures in hand. A dungeon is a great entertainment packed with those mind-dancing elements!... it was in a book I read before!

"... Isn't it a real experience for the Demon King? Well, the Demon King will never struggle with demons or traps."

To speak fervently, what the Demon King said was a book takeover and sale. I'm sure the author of that book was so thoughtful about the dungeon.

"Well, aside from that, there's a hotel and a capitol in this place right now, but I don't think there's much entertainment in it."

"Do you need an entertainment element in the first place?

"It's impeccable to ask Roman for necessity, isn't it? Well, that's the kind of wax I tried to make."

"What did you say you made it?

"New Dungeon"

…………

I was making something outrageous at some point. Alice unexpectedly goes out of her mind.

"I'm going to ask the homunculus guys to finish it, and I'm going to go check it out now because it's done today, and you want to come with me?

"... Yes"

With such a wack, the Demon King and Alice are both going on a tour of the new dungeon.

What arrived was a relatively small building that was not noticeable among the large group of buildings surrounding it, securely built on the ground. There is a sign on the front section called "Dungeon Shop”. Other than having one entrance, there are no windows or other entrances or exits, shaped like a giant dice made of marble, if you like.

The Demon King and Alice went inside through an entrance with only one spot.

"Hey, is it going to work fine?

"Yes, Demon King. We've carefully tested the safety so we can move on to sales soon."

Cosmos, who was inside the building, replied that way to the Demon King.

"... Cosmos, did you know about this place?

"Yes, by the way, we all know the other homunculus. I thought I'd keep my mouth shut and surprise you, Alice, until it's done. Surprised?

"... yes, that's already"

Apparently, Alice was the only one who didn't know about the new dungeon.

"Well, let's get into the dungeon soon"

Whether you're aware of Alice's reaction or not, the unreadable demon king of the air said so.

"We can now put them in elementary, intermediate and advanced. I plan to add super, divine, s, suck, etc later. In addition to the difficulty of each level, it is also possible to select stages such as caves, forests, deserts and towers. At random, especially without stage designation."

"Well, in a random, advanced course. Is that all right with Alice?

"Ha... I don't know, then so"

"Now, you may not need it, but just in case you both wear this ring. In case you're dying, just before you die, the cord of physical protection is activated, and at the same time the metastasis is activated automatically to bring you back here. Metaphorically speaking, as long as I'm wearing this, my HP (hit point) doesn't fall below one, and it's an excellent thing to come back to the safety zone automatically."

"Hitoshi?

The Demon King and Alice honestly put on the ring that Cosmos offered. Alice also seems convinced that it's not a bad thing when she doesn't know what words mean.

"Then go into the red door on the right there and get on the magic formation inside, because I will transfer you to the dungeon. So, Good Luck."

Through the cosmos I dropped off with a thumbs-up with a bissi thumbs up, the Demon King and Alice entered the red door and moved somewhere in the magic formation.

Advanced Dungeon: The Dragon King's Nest

"This is a forest...... no mountain? Demon King?"

The next moment she metastasized, Alice was in a wooded strange mountain. There are no demon kings around. Apparently, I've been flown to a separate place.

"Well, the Demon King would have nothing to worry about, but more than that..."

Alice sighed when she saw the sight in front of her.

"He only said it was an advanced course, so... yeah, it would be something like this"

By the way, it felt like 'dragons, woods, dragons, dragons, woods, dragons, woods' when I briefly described the sight in front of Alice. Red or black, sloppy or elongated.

Apparently, the dragons are intrigued by Alice, who suddenly showed up in front of them.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked how to be clear...... well would you like to proceed appropriately for a while"

Alice started walking flat without any cowardice when she saw the dragons in front of her. The dragons roar and attack while a little uncomfortable with the girl who doesn't even show the shards of fright...

"You're in the way."

In the next moment, Alice's demon bullet released from her fingertips left her blown far. Should it be called the famous Dragon as the most powerful demon of boulders only for the fact that not a single one is barely dead?

"It's pathetic not to eat, but to kill."

In fact, Alice was just giving in. Around you were willing to kill without hesitation if you were willing to eat, perhaps the dragons earlier should thank Alice for not being hungry.

"Well, why don't we move on"

Alice walked out of the deep woods technologically.

"... treasure chest?

Walking about fifteen minutes through the deep woods, blowing up the occasional dragon you encounter, there was a large chest in the open place in the woods. Alice often wondered if she could open the trap, but after thinking about it because she didn't have any other clues like this, she decided to open it.

"Is this... a sword? And paper at the bottom of the box?

Inside the chest was a piece of paper with a wave of sword and some lettering. Alice picked up that paper and read it.

"... Hmm," The Devil's Sword Dragon Slayer "The Devil's Sword created by an ancient mason at the end of his life. Its power is tremendous and even the scales of tough dragons are gently cleaved. 120 Attack. Dark Attribute. Increases damage to the Dragon System...... Does this paper mean this sword instructions?

The chest was kindly enclosed with sword instructions. It even says attacking power and attributes carefully. You don't have to worry about this being incorrectly equipped with weapons that are less aggressive than those in your hand, or with weapons of disadvantaged attributes that are instead less damaging efficient. But...

"Design is a bad idea. Well, you don't have to."

Although Alice took the Devil's Sword Dragon Slayer once, she didn't like the design, so she threw it pointy in the bush around it, and proceeded with Stasta without looking back any longer. The ancient masons must also be crying in the shade of the grass leaves for their cluttered handling.

Then about enough, Alice, walking appropriately away from the occasional dragon that appeared, went out into a place like an abandoned castle behind the mountain. The air is obviously different from what we've been in the woods, and the atmosphere is about to come out with a boss character or something.

"Ha ha! Well done, you stupid intruder after our treasure. The rest is Black Dragon King. Let's play with them straight away!

Advice, a giant black dragon about fifty meters long, like the boss here, has descended from the sky with such a mouthful. But Alice said without looking particularly hasty.

"No, I'm not interested in treasure."

"Eh......"

"Now if you'll excuse me. We need to find a way back from the dungeon."

'Uh, um... yeah, I, I wasn't. The rest is the ruler of this dungeon. We can't get out of this dungeon forever unless we defeat the rest!

The Black Dragon King uttered those words, especially to stop Alice from trying to leave without showing interest in the treasure. I did.

"Oh, did you? Now if you'll excuse me."

"Uh, hold on..."

At the next moment, an oversized fireball likely to be ten meters in diameter released by Alice hit the entire body of the Black Dragon King by about thirty shots. The fireballs that landed had a chain blast, blowing up giants like the Black Dragon King's mountain. But only the boss character seems to boast medium endurance. It didn't mean immediate KO.

'Ouch, oh I'm surprised,...... ah. Ha ha! The rest are resistant to fire attributes, so that magic doesn't work! So don't do the attack again.'

What a fire resistance to the Black Dragon King, so fire attribute attacks don't seem to work.

"Only The Devil's Sword Dragon Slayer can defeat the rest. I don't think it's convenient for Xama to have it."

Apparently, only Demon Sword Dragon Slayer can defeat Black Dragon King. The earlier sword seemed to be a so-called event item that would interfere with the story's progression without it.

"Oh, my God, but I threw that sword away because the design was so bad"

"Huh!?... Huh! Then I'll wait here while Xama picks up his sword because the battle is too one-sided!

The kind Black Dragon King suggested so, also by adhering to unexpected developments. But did Alice have trouble picking it up...

"No, there won't be anything you can do if you don't bother going. If you do."

When I said that, I simultaneously created one sharp ice column about ten meters long in the air, and struck out at a fierce speed toward the Black Dragon King about sixty shots in a row.

The Black Dragon King managed to evade until the first ten shots by cleverly moving his large body, but when the eleventh shot landed on his leg, his legs froze from the ground to the ground and he was to take the remaining forty-nine direct hits.

"Hey, there he is, stop... my mouth, I think it's moving..."

He's the Black Dragon King who gets his whole body pierced by countless ice columns and accidentally tries to admit his loss, but along the way his mouth gets frozen and he can't talk, and he couldn't even surrender.

"Hmm, is this the place?

A few seconds later, the ice statue of the dragon was complete there as if it were alive (or buried alive by ice).

◆ ◆ ◆

"Extras?"

"Yes, we were asked by the Demon King for an extra."

The Black Dragon King, who was as tough as he seemed, managed to escape the ice on his own, raising a white flag to Alice, who tried to chase him, to make a tanneling.

The Black Dragon King said the original plan was to wait for the weaponed challenger found in the woods along the way to reach the abandoned castle awaited by the Black Dragon King, and then give him the prize treasure with his body (Tei) that he recognized the power of the challenger after a proper fight.

"That's... you've done something wrong."

'No, never mind, the injury has healed already. Besides, thanks to you, I also saw some improvement in the scenario. "

He was an entertainer spiritual black dragon king who didn't look good.

"Nevertheless, Master Demon, you knew the dragon."

"Yeah, when the Demon King was still a brave man, he helped me where I might be exposed to bad people who were still little."

"Did that happen?... an old acquaintance, which means this place is"

"From the world where the Demon King now lives, it means different worlds."

"Oh my God."

Alice was surprised to have come to another world before she knew it.

"The Demon King recently came to see me and asked me if I could hang out with him for a new visit. And me and my family dragons have been hippos for a long time, so they all knocked on Nori."

The Demon King's friendship seems to be a lot wider than Alice thought. There seems to be a great chance that someone else I know is waiting for another dungeon that didn't come in this time.

"But I was surprised."

"What is it?

'I can't believe you're so strong. You're Mr. Alice, aren't you? I hear it from the Demon King. She's a pretty blonde, and she says she's got a lot on her mind and she doesn't have any body. "

"Oh, really?... Really, eheheheheheh"

Unexpectedly, knowing the Demon King's appreciation of himself, Alice was in a very good mood.

"Yeah, you're just the wife of the Demon King."

"... ooh?... Huh?

'Uh, the Demon King said he lives with Mr. Alice, so I thought you were married exactly. You're not?

"Um... I hope so..."

'Huh? Ah, it's time to start the transition to the original world, so I'll give you the prize too. Well, say hello to your husband'

"Sir...... yes!

At the same time as that reply, Alice was wrapped in the light of the metastasis and was disappearing from this world in the next moment.

◆ ◆ ◆

Alice, who returned from the dungeon, appeared in the original world, in a room with the first magic formation to make the transfer.

"This place is... apparently back"

Welcome back, Alice.

Cosmos, who was waiting, welcomed Alice back safely.

"Hasn't the Demon King returned yet?

"Yes, Alice and I seem to have been flown into a different dungeon. As you may already know, the boss of the dungeon is served by friends of the Demon King, so maybe we're clearing it up early and talking, let's see how it goes"

"Can you see it?

"Yes, for your safety, you can see everything in the dungeon from this crystal sphere. Oh, this..."

There was a small stone room, showing a demon king struggling badly in front of something somewhat like a 3D puzzle.

Apparently, it's a mechanism where the door doesn't open and you can't move on unless you solve the puzzle prepared by the boss of the dungeon. A demon king would also be able to drill holes in walls and floors and force them to move on, but I'm sure that doesn't bother you. I can see you twisting your head messing around with a puzzle similar to Rubik's Cube.

Apparently, unlike a dungeon with Alice in it, it's kind of a dungeon that gets brains tested.

……

……

Alice and Cosmos accidentally became silent before the unexpected sight.

"Master Demon, did you not like that?

"Sounds like,... ah"

You cut the paralysis because of your too slow offense, Mr. Boss in the dungeon opened a closed door and appeared before the Demon King. He looks like a fairy-breed man, like a dwarf with wings. And then I put this and my mouth out from the side to give the demon king a hint, and then after about five minutes, I finally succeeded in unlocking the puzzle. Closed doors have already been opened by Mr Boss himself, so it makes no sense now.

……

……

There was another riddle in the next room as well. Now it seems we can't proceed without pressing the switch in a specific order.

The Demon King again struggled hard to solve the mystery, and after being stuck for a while, Mr. Boss hinted and finally proceeded to the next room.... and there was another riddle waiting for me in the next room.

"... let's not see any more"

"... right"

Alice and Cosmos both stopped the crystal sphere footage, even in the honor of the Demon King, and decided not to see anything.

Then five hours later, the demon king, who had finally cleared and returned, said he enjoyed the dungeon after a struggle, "It was fun, I want to go again," but the half-crying boss told me not to come back in and out, and he couldn't try again.

Congratulations, Congratulations?
