The trigger was Rick.

A month after the snow build-up begins, as long as you wait, there should be a snowmelting season in Hidden Nyanish.

Because it is common sense in the world that this annual snow accumulation will blunt the activities of the Demon Army.

There is also a short peace in the ever-contested northern Gigas line for all this season. That period is two months.

We spent the previous month caged in to the castle, looking forward to the occasional sunshine.

As someone with fur, we also hunted on a sunny day, but to this day the result is two neck hunting rabbits with white winter hair.

I lost Barney's catch.

How dare he catch and show more than 150 fat river fish during the winter months.

To make fishing easier even in the winter, Barney let his fellow fisherman Jog help create a simple campsite in front of the lake.

They want to build an easy pier in the spring and a lounge with a roof.

Well, every time, the foreground is longer.

Waiting until now for the snowmelting season, we have accumulated strength.

I have spent my spare time processing the materials I simmered in before winter to make more furniture for my life, clean up empty rooms I haven't got my hands on, and make repairs and maintenance efforts in winter.

But everyone gets tired of living like that for a month.

Especially for samurai like Rick, life that kept pulling into the castle was something that could cause physical decay.

"Teacher, as it is, my body is gone. If you want to go hunting, next time, take me with you..."

Lunch that day was soft bread, thawed boreal meat and dried mushroom soup, and pickled salted turnips and just a few sweet dried fruits.

When I flattened my meal and played 300 years old old songs on the harp and about three new songs I heard at Madame's club, that and improvisation, Rick came right in front of me.

"I refuse. In this season of low prey, there is no benefit in acting in pairs"

"Then let's go alone"

"Nor can it, if you look sweet at winter, you will die."

"But just caged in a castle and swinging a spear at a squad station is already... stressful and I'm going to freak out... ugh"

"You're a root samurai, aren't you? You should take it easy by apprenticing Jog and me."

But not with swelling.

And I put my hand upon my chin with a little exaggeration, and I showed it.

In short, Mr. Bull says he can't stand it until spring.

"I mean, via hunting, he wants to get his mind back on the fight?

"Oh yeah...... Instructors always change their minds, instead of me... I'm sure it is, I want to fight..."

"Sure, well, there's no denying the bad weather here, boring and irresistible"

Just for the record, this problem with Rick is easy to solve.

Without going outside the castle, there is a way to reclaim the battle.

But it was also an act of revealing the confidentiality that we had hidden until today.

"You think you're not satisfied with your mock war with me?

"No, I'm glad you're dealing with me. But when hunting and fighting are far away, that's all it takes..."

I'm being selfish. Rick was aware of that.

So I drop my gaze and say sorry. In short, I'm tired of winter, be her.

"Ok, Bernie and Patia...... no, at this time do you want to give me another one? Clay's out of the question - let's take either Ars or Madri."

I was bored too.

It's nice to keep the magic warm, but we do have monotonous days.

"I can't see the story, the instructor, where are you taking me...?

"Well, in short, it's -- let's say the bottom of the well."

"Bottom of the well......? Instructor, it's not terminal at all. Just to be clear."

In retrospect, I snuck diving with Bernie last month.

Then let's use that labyrinth once in a while.

"It's a suspicious line as to whether you believe it or not where I explained it, let's get people together anyway. Ars and Madri, which would you take if we were to fight together?

Leaking outside can also lead to more people knowing dangerous secrets, but they can be trusted.

Rick is the strongest fighter, and it's true he's stressed out, so let me tell you something.

● ◎ (ΦωΦ) ◎

We've assembled personnel in a room of sealed wells.

I took off the lid of the leaking well of light and looked back at the Ricks behind my back.

It seemed natural that Madri, the one nearby, would be chosen, not the knight Alstromeria, if he let Rick choose him.

"Okay, folks, it's much quicker to get inside than to explain. Let's go."

"Instructor? No way I'm going in, in that glowing well, ah..."

The words of the Bull Demon Race Rick were interrupted along the way.

Because I jumped into the well and entered another space.

● ◎ (ΦωΦ) ◎

It falls vertically and it distorts, and at some point it falls sideways.

In keeping with that feeling that I had become completely accustomed to, I rolled into the interior of the labyrinth.

Apparently the labyrinth had been re-modeled again, this time coloured with a cold icey pale colour.

Then immediately Patia falls off the sidewall and is hugged and supported by a cat human chest.

"Cat, no sukichi! Patia, I can be one of them."

"No, you're a valuable super firepower, so we have to be polite."

"Patia, I don't know, that's... oh my god, not yet!

"Yes, for me, you must be my princess."

Let Patia stand properly, and I left her.

Even so, they held me right up, and even though I didn't have to, they buried my face in my chest and mopped me.

"I can... I can... I can... I can... I'm so happy about Patia."

"Stay away from me, let's do that outside"

"Muri, Nekotanshi cuki!

This was followed by Rick and Barney continuing to fall. On the side, of course.

Barney was used to it already, and he got up softly after taking his passive.

Likewise Rick says it's his first time, but he rises from passivity without anything brilliant.

"Awwwwww......?! Ah... Mr. Barney."

Then Barney came out in front of me and held and supported the fall of Madrid, the other corner of the rear guard, side by side.

Are you all right, lady?

"Yes, no, you treat me like a little... but oh, thank you..."

I could see Madrid intimately embarrassed.

We shouldn't have to be ashamed of each other because we're men, but let it be. That's youth.

"Instructor, what the hell is this place... No, I don't think so, but this is..."

"Yes, that's what I mean. It's a labyrinth, and it's a pretty old kind of prototype."

The Demons cannot enter the labyrinth. So embezzle achievements from human adventurers. That is the common sense of the demonic world.

Its common sense, which should never waver, was broken and Madri and Rick looked around with surprise and enthusiasm.

"A labyrinth that even demons can enter...... I've never heard of that! Wow... this is the labyrinth... wow, wow!

"Stupid! Teacher, did you hide this from us until today?

Each of the two excitements had a different vector.

Madri was knowledgeable, exploratory, and Rick was adventurous about wanting to come in once.

For Rick, who is usually oligarchy and hideous, he shows strong joy and excitement.

For her, this must have been the best playground as a samurai, not a bacchi field next to the fear of death.

Ironically these places are close to my brother Migo.

No. And by now, where and what is he doing?

Migo let me go then.

Then you must be reporting that to the demon general Nyx.

And yet somehow, he didn't even have the back information that I was alive in the demonic world.
