Maou no Hajimekata

"Can we get around here?"

So it was the border of the plains, the entrance to the depressed and lush woods, that Oul stopped his feet.

"Mm, do you want to collect the burning trees? Or should I get some nuts or even animals that are going to be eaten?

"Nothing. I'm not camping here."

To the tense lil, Oulu gives a shout.

"Here, make a dungeon."

"Uh... dungeon again? From scratch?"

"Don't look blatantly nasty"

Oul took the vial out of his nostrils to the devil who would make him smile his righteous face.

"Use this one this time"

"What is this? Small dungeon core......?

The dungeon core at home doesn't even know how big the lil is now. But Oul took it out. It was big enough to fit perfectly in the palm of his hand.

"The basic functions are the same. It stores magic and is free to take it out. But in addition to that, it gives one ability.... dungeonseed, but call it"

"Dungeons, seeds......?

Nodding at the lil repeated in parrot repetition, Oul dropped the dungeon seed over the ground. As soon as the ground twists and twists, the dungeon seed dives into the earth.

"Wah, wah, what's this!

"The labyrinth magic I use. It's like a kind of golem that uses it to create a dungeon semi-automatically."

The dungeon seed puts a hole in large and digs deeper and deeper into the ground. I wondered if the wall had glowed, and the dirt wall, which remained dug out, was changed to a brick wall so that it was swept away with a shovel.

"We use pre-planted magic to expand the labyrinth, while gathering magic from it to further expand the dungeon significantly. Well, unless you hit the dragon pulse, the consumption will be higher than the collection, so it will stop soon, but it will suffice as a temporary residence."

"Wow, if you have this, you don't have to design your own dungeon or anything anymore!

"No, not really"

The Lord shook his head ruthlessly at the user demon who exposed his excitement.

"Being made automatically means there is a certain legality there. There is not enough human malice in a dungeon that is made up solely of calculations. You deceive the intruder, you fall, you frustrate his heart and you malice him."

"Yes, yes, your bottom line is bad - because I know it well. Let's just get in there."

I didn't feel like I was getting an understanding, but Oul steps inside the labyrinth according to Lil's words.

"Look, it's not very nice."

Lil danced lightly through the basement corridor in a condition that was like a new wife shaking into her new home.

"Well... things are not right. Dungeon seed is aiming up"

Essentially, the magic in the ground is deeply intense. Therefore, the dungeon seed is rooted deep and deep, even if left alone. However, the passage through which Oulu proceeded changed the angle of inclination from halfway up.

"What, something..."

Said? Lil's words, which were supposed to follow, were physically blocked.

Suddenly filled the passage, by the roots of the plants.

"Hey, what's this! Dungeon seed root!?

"No... this is the root of a real plant. But it's not irrelevant."

Dungeon seeds utilize the surrounding ones to create a dungeon. Usually the ground… i.e. the soil itself, but in some places it is made assuming that various substances are woven together, such as sand, rocks, metal veins, etc. There, of course, were trees included.

"This tree apparently has the nature to store magic. So the dungeon seed went to the ground, not underground."

"If you're calm. Eh! Oh, already, Oulu, step back a little!

As I followed Lil's words over the root wall, there was a slight explosion and I heard smoke and Lil coughing heavily out of the gap.

"... you okay?

"What's wrong with this tree? It's so hard! What do you mean using a stone fire arrow won't scratch one!?

"It's a labyrinth wall. It can't be that easy to break."

"Be prestigious!

Ignoring the screaming lil, Oul touches the wall. The walls of the tree roots were twisted for a moment and I could see the face full of lil 'coal, but I immediately clasped and closed it perfectly.

"You can't. Sucking the magic of the woods, dungeon seeds continue to maintain the labyrinth"

"... what do you mean?

"In short, you've got a dungeon taken over by the woods."

"Why does it seem so fun..."

From across the wall, I hear voices seeping through tiredness.

I think of Lil walking right into the ground.

"Sounds like fun, huh?

If Oul accidentally touched his cheek, his mouth would have been distorted into the form of a grin.

"You're laughing now."

Lil's pointer flies in, as if to see through it.

"How do you know?

"You don't have to look. It's the look I finally know, it."

Lil's voice, which should have been exhausted, was also sometime something that included a grin.

"That's right. I haven't seen that face lately, so I totally forgot."

Every day you rule a vast continent, govern nations, and serve in government.

That is undoubtedly the peaceful routine that Oulu once thirsted for and got.

"It's not okay. I don't hate that face either... just do something about this labyrinth."

"Oh."

- But.

"Shall we start by going through this labyrinth against our parents?"

To this unforeseen event, the evil old sorcerer laughed and said so.
