Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 163: A New Labyrinth (6)

"What do you think? Have you been able to talk to Ku?

He wiped out the flock of white lions and came back to his daughters.

I feel like I've seen it, I dance happily when Ku twirls in the air with the patter, so did the conversation by [Reading] succeed?

"Oh, it's just that! I've always thought of it as an important family, but it's still nice to say we can have a conversation! Don't feel closer to Ku!

Sylphie gets excited and gives me that answer. [M]

Well, I know exactly what Sylphie's happy about. Ku and Silfi often take baths together because their preferences for adding or subtracting water are similar.

If Khu were asked which way to get along with Silfi and Aisha, it would definitely be Silfi. Besides, Aisha and I are never too close.

Even though we can't talk, we've always been close, so I think it would be nice to talk about it.

However, what I didn't expect was that the conversation between Khu and Sylphie didn't sound familiar to me at all.

Of course, I didn't paste [cut] [pronounced] from the white lion.

So I can understand that you can't hear your daughters talking.

... but I have [Case Protection].

I mean, I've been talking to Ku for a long time. Could you possibly just hear what Khu is saying? What a pale expectation you had, but you still seemed to have a sweet idea.

In the meantime, now I know that I can use my skills to say [Reading].

Maybe we should get a little more of this too.

If you attack this labyrinth (dungeon), there's a good chance you won't be able to get it.

Fortunately, the lion race has never been as isolated as the white slime.

It's always a demon acting in a herd, so I think once I encounter it, I can [cut] about 3-5 like right now. It shouldn't take longer than yesterday.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Phew, I finally found my boss room."

I finally reached the boss room on level B1 when Aisha's handwritten map was completed.

... I also had the boss room at the end of the map when I was on the ground floor... is it a bit unlucky for us...

Still, I think I got there a lot earlier than yesterday for not investing in collecting skills.

"... is the boss room door still open..."

I squeal unexpectedly as I look at the open door.

... After all, is this the work of the demon man?

"Hey, Mr. Mine... I thought I was... is this really done by demons?

Aisha puts that in her mouth as she looks at the open door, just like me.... What's the sudden matter?

Sure, other than demons... I mean, it's not like I'm an adventurer...

"Hmm? Aisha, did you notice anything after a while?

I hear the question Silfi has put to Aisha's mouth, and that's what he asks me.

"Mayne, princess... what if? If this is the work of the demon, why go down the labyrinth?

... What do you mean? The stairs are headed underground, so isn't it natural to go down?

When I think about it, Sylphi now affirms Aisha's words out loud.

"...... Huh!! I see! Aisha's right. It sure is crazy!

Hmm??... What the hell?

... wait... go down... go down... ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Right, you know what?

That's right, it sure is crazy!! If you're saying this is the devil's work, it's certainly weird to go down there!

... because the Labyrinth (Dungeon) is something the Demon can set up a core for.

And installing the core is... the deepest part of the labyrinth (dungeon)!

I mean, if it doesn't come up (...) it won't!

Then, defeating the boss and progressing to the back is still likely to be the adventurer.

... but who the hell is it...? I don't want to be an adventurer I know because I've only been in the Adventurers Guild for a day.

If you dare, it would be Hijord and Lyle. But these two aren't adventurers anymore. There's no reason to be here.

"... Aisha, do you have any idea?

If Aisha, a popular receptionist for the former Adventurer Guild, has a wide face.

For once, it might come to my senses.

"Uh-huh, I can't think of anything... because adventurers are basically crude and a lot of simple people are basically pretty calculating. Unless it's a request like ours for a new labyrinth (dungeon), I don't think so."

I knew it. Ah... Don't you even know Aisha?

Then it's hard to guess the purpose.

If I could figure out who's coming, I'd think I could imagine that area, too.

"Well, whatever. It's not like it's no longer possible, but isn't it much easier for you to feel comfortable? Anyway, as long as you're an adventurer, you won't have to worry about it."

Although Silfi is right......

But I don't think that's why you should be alarmed.

... but it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be hostile to us if it's the adventurers who are invading us while we defeat the boss. It is possible that they will treat you amicably.

Beyond not knowing how the adventurers are going to treat us, you should be prepared to respond immediately to any actual contact without being alarmed.

... I lost to my brother-in-law once, even though there were various restrictions.

And when I trained with the Knights in the King's Capital, I learned something important.

Sometimes battle experience and battle talent can be more powerful than skill.

So even though I'm more likely to be an adventurer than a demon, I'm going to proceed with the offense without alarm.

"Yeah, you are. But let's not get distracted and move on. There is no mistake that this labyrinth (dungeon) was born, and there is no longer any chance that there is a demon. And the adventurer is not a good opponent..."

In the end, the first and B1 floors only fight demons roaming the road, but I think they are likely to encounter the example adventurers around the next floor.

First, enter the boss room where the door is left open and ask him what's going on inside.

"... after all, you don't have a boss. If I were there, would it have been the lion's top species?

Maybe the boss here can stop by after tomorrow.

Somehow, I feel like dropping a good item.

Keep everyone in touch with the stone tablet in the boss room as well as on the ground floor.

Just like on the ground floor, you feel sorry for us because we didn't knock him out.

Come on, we're finally on the second floor of B2.
