- The Great Labyrinth of Seland - First Layer

I was stepping into the dungeon with Aria.

This dungeon is said to be divided into multiple hierarchies of different facies.

They say the more you go to the lower level, the more powerful the demons that emerge, and vice versa, the less dangerous the demons appear.

Here's the first layer - where it's called the maze floor, there's only demons out there that at best equate to danger e such as goblins and cobolts.

The only problem, as the name suggests with the maze floor, is that it has a very stray structure… it has already been fully mapped and we have bought that map so we could proceed without getting lost.

That said, it's so vast that it takes at least half a day to break through.

Eventually we get to the safe zone.

There was a spacious space there that I didn't think was underground.

Behind each hierarchy, in front of the next, there's always these special places where demons don't appear.

"Looks like a lot of people are camping here after all"

The exams we had arrived at earlier had already set up tents everywhere.

"It's hard to get a good rest when it's a place where demons come out, naturally."

If you go a little further, there's a staircase down to the next second level, so they're also a base for challenging you there.

I could also see the general adventurers and thinkers who were not exams.

I don't know because I'm underground, but it would still be a bright time outside.

But beyond this, it's in the back of the second tier that there's a similar place.

We should set a longer rest here, too.

I want to eat and, if possible, get some sleep.

We decided to set up a tent first.

Because it is made of special magic material, it is light and unspoilt and is treasured by the adventurers.

But hatred, there is only one strain.

Even the smaller ones were quite expensive, not very expensive, but couldn't afford to buy two strands.

Well, either one of you will have to keep an eye on me to get some sleep, and it won't be a problem.

We eat the food we bring - it's portable, so it's not very tasty - and discuss our plans for the future.

"How many are you at right now?

"I don't know.... It took me a while to get ready, though I was in a hurry. It's no surprise that the kind of people who could afford the money and were prepared in advance are looking to reach their next safety zone by the end of the day"

Thinking about it, I can't slow down.

In fact, in this safety zone, we did not see those who had passed the previous tests with the highest grades.

Probably already moved on.

As soon as I finished my meal, one of them was supposed to take a nap.

But look around, we're worried.

"... you don't keep an eye on any party..."

"Right...... It's a place where there's no demons in the first place, and if this is all there is to know, it's safe."

Then one person at a time has to take a hypnotic sleep, and we're also going to take on a big time loss.

"Aria. I don't mind you using the tent. I'll sleep outside."

"No, you can't. You are more powerful than I am. You should get some rest."

"It doesn't work that way. I can't let one girl sleep outside."

We give in to each other, but not a single step.

"... you have no choice. Then let's sleep together."

"Exactly. You can't do that, can you?

When I argue, Aria has turned a frivolous gaze.

"What? I knew you were gonna do something weird to me?

"No, I don't mean to..."

"Then it's settled."

Aria quickly concluded so.

"My goal is to break through and pass this exam"

……

"If that's what you're going to do, I'm going to put up with anything.... even if they attack you where you sleep"

"That's why I didn't attack you."

'No, you're not! What you're saying is more of an implicit message that I want you to attack me!

The usual erotic sword statement goes through and I follow Aria into the tent.

It was narrower than I thought.

When you two lie down, your body really hits you.

"Sa, I just said..."

Aria says it sounds spicy.

"... there will be tomorrow, and if possible, things like using too much physical strength..."

"How much do you want to treat me like a wolf?"

Damn, dude. Always this guy.

You were tired, and then Aria fell asleep right away.

I'm lying on the other side, but I hear a regular sleep.

'Hey, not now. It's a great opportunity. "

... you again, porn sword.

"Why are you hesitating? If you're a man, you can leave it to your desires here!

Ignore. Ignore.

She's not like sluts like Mary and whores in the first place.

It's still about fifteen or six.

It's so bad that an old man like me craves such a growing girl.

"Doesn't that seem like a bloated place for it?

... Well, that's 'cause you reinforced my libido on your own, isn't it?

It has nothing to do with the girl next door, nothing to do with it.

I couldn't sleep like this anyway, so I decided to handle my sexuality on my own.

Also, after a nap, I woke up and Aria said, "... doesn't that smell crazy? I've heard," so I misled him with all my might.

"The atmosphere has changed."

"Oh. I can't believe there's such a forest in the basement."

We were coming to the second level.

They say the trees are growing depressed and they are called forest floors.

The first layer looks completely different.

From this second layer, hazard class D demons such as Oak and Trent begin to emerge.

But if those who have dived through the exams so far, they will be able to afford to fight.

We also have a handful that Aria only has a cheap knife, but it shouldn't be a problem unless so many come at once.

However, there are no maps from here.

It was for sale, but it was too expensive to refuse.

So I had to move on by hand, and this was also a big handful compared to the nobles again.

"Beware, the tree, not the demon."

Until then, I thought it was just a tree. The tree sinus stripped my fangs and attacked me.

I flashed my sword.

Trent's torso is broken in two.

"Now, that was almost useless. It's a good shot."

"Is that true?

"Yeah, it's getting pretty good in the short term."

Sure, I feel like I shook my sword in a good way, too.

It's a big difference from when you were waving your sword in our stream.
