Nankoufuraku no Maoujou e Youkoso

During the safe-room makeshift, I was out of hand and watched.

Next to me like that, Mr. Ex is coming.

"You were a brilliant extractor today, Leme"

"... thank you. But, Mr. Merlin and Mr. Ex, how could you do that to me?

I am not anxious about Mr. Ex's ability to command or Mr. Merlin's magic.

But they both seemed to give me a lot of opportunities in situations where I could do it.

"The Merlin one simply wants to see your magic."

"I see. I've learned a lot about the magic of Mr. Merlin."

There are many things you can learn even if you can't imitate attack magic, such as control, operation, and standing around when you use magic on your wand.

I'd love to see what you could get from seeing my black magic, too.

"In my case... maybe I just wanted to focus on the fight"

Mr. Ex's voice color changes to something slightly darker.

"... [The brave] usually combine leaders, but they're also burdensome."

Fight as hard as you can, keeping track of the overall situation and giving instructions as appropriate.

The difficulty of combining [the brave] with the leader, I felt I could understand.

Black magic support alone and fighting in addition to support changes the difficulty. It would be the same as that.

"Right. I've left the instructions to people, and I see it's going to be a lot easier. Well, I let you carry the burden for that."

"Haha. It's cheap if you think you've seen this member fight in a special seat."

"You're positive."

Mr. Ex said, looking away somewhere.

I was remembering a conversation with Merlin.

Think a little, open your mouth.

"Maybe you're just afraid to look behind you"

You surprised me with the negative expression, his gaze turns to me.

"... looking back, what do you think there is?

Imagine.

"Cliff, is it? If we don't keep moving, the scaffolding is crumbling."

Adventurers are popular businesses. The fear that accompanies it may be similar to that of a sportsman.

Even if you are very active in the industry and make a lot of money, that is only a very short period of time from a person's lifetime.

Young and talented people don't come out. Only some people can stay in the industry in tandem with it.

How many human beings will be able to live a good life afterwards after losing their place in the industry.

"Oh, that's scary. We just have to keep running so we don't fall."

"Yeah, look forward"

I can't feel safe just because I'm a demon.

Even good people, like Mira once was, can be treated cold at the discretion of their boss.

He said it was about losing his job because of management difficulties, like "Primary/Beginning Dungeons".

Naturally, they would fire the dungeon if they were judged to lack strength.

We serve our purpose, we don't disappear, so we have nothing but to keep running.

"Will you be able to reach a place of peace one day?"

"At least, we've decided where we're going."

I'm a demon brave man.

Adventurers rank first.

After first place, is it a challenge to the world's strongest?

There is as much to do.

"... right"

When I realized it, my consciousness and that of everyone was right here.

... maybe, but it's about my black magic.

"This is solitary, though."

Mr. Ex stroked his jaw, so he prefaced.

He must have noticed everyone's gaze, too.

"I wonder if Leme's policy during the Phoenix Party era was' to make his people work with his own black magic '. I thought it would be a shortcut to the top of the ranks to get the best results without even letting your peers notice, rather than appealing to your powers. Given the purpose of reaching the top, at least you will know that the method was not a failure"

After that, I got to get out of the party, though.

I put it at the top. I was able to climb to fourth place in the ranks.

"At the same time, an adventurer is not a profession in which if he is competent, he is rewarded. Perhaps we can say some things in every industry. In particular, Leme is the [Black Demon Instructor]. Those who can deny that they do not need to be judged by [position (job)] rather than ability… unfortunately, there will be few."

Even if I had a background in fourth party, I couldn't find my next party.

[Black Demon Instructor] means that's all the negative elements.

"Of course, there are exceptional beings. Parties employing [black demon mentors] or [white demon mentors] exist, and in the case of Leme, there is the fact that they were solicited by Aerial and Reyce boys. Yeah, well, we had a party with Phoenix."

Mr. Ex is explaining it to me and to the clan members.

"If the question were to arise here, if you were as strong as Panacare, you would have had the option not to hide it from the beginning. I have a particular opinion, but I'd like you to think about it for a moment. The debut of Phoenix and Lemme is thirteen years old (,,). It was seven years ago. Naturally, his policy is not currently a criterion, but would have been determined on the strength (,,,,) of the time?

As Phoenix graduates from a training institution (school), the training period is three years.

I met my best master and got through hell of a workout, but the world isn't sweet enough to be top notch in three years.

The growth of magic and magic organs accumulated in the corners, the increase in potency and duration caused by the continued use of magic, and the sensations and techniques of magic manipulation were largely polished with post-debut training and combat experience.

Sure, the rush to eat within third place was put in place by me when I was thirteen.

If I could go back to my thirteenth years with my current strength and mental state, I might have found some other options.

"And then, of course, too strong black magic goes through black magic... I can easily imagine being slapped for what reason. My party's used to that, so I get it. In fact, magic and magic are separate. Even if I train the black magic of" Speed Lower, "I can't remember the black magic of" Complete Stop ". Still, popularity rises and falls easily with one rumor. You can't overthink the decision that you can't risk it."

Black magic and black magic are separate.

Same as the degradation of spiritual art is magic. You can't train magic to be spiritual.

Mr. Merlin is the best wizard and can even produce a magical power comparable to spiritual art, but that's why there's no 'deep' in that extension.

Even if we can get close, it won't arrive.

You can't just train black magic to do black magic.

... I just taught that black magic to my master.

Nevertheless, the story is true that black magic does not lead to black magic.

And the fact that you can use magic like Mr. Merlin's magic that brings you closer to the original magic unlimited itself can cause inconvenience.

The party took a long time to overcome its plight.

There were problems with the way I chose to do it, but I chose it for a reason.

"Anyway. From me, the only thing that matters is the fact that I was greatly helped by the power of Leme in this original dungeon investigation. [Title (Job)] or irrelevant to your affiliation, we are the ones who were collected. What a trivial past."

Mr. Ex looked around at them all.

"I was honored to fight everyone, including those who had already left. I'm glad everyone feels the same way."

Those who have already left must have heard this voice in the camp. Subtle, because Mr. Ex was tailoring the channel to the whole thing.

"Well, sometimes you say good things."

It was Mr. Merlin who laughed so much.

"It's also convincing." The Suspicious [Brave], who signed with the Shadow Spirit out of the Four Universes, "" Not the [Brave], but this again gained the protection of the Light Spirit out of the Four Universes [Holy Knight], "" A Human Being (Normal) [Warrior] who can reproduce the characteristics of more than ten subhuman beings in a special ancestral return, "" [Destroyer] and [Position (Job)], but whose rarity is much higher, super minor [Position (Job)] [Guardian], "" Too Beautiful [Wizard], "is a party of composition that has only come up to second place."

"... I can't dare to leave the first four alone, what is an 'overly beautiful wizard'?" An unusual wizard who treats all four attributes at a level extremely close to spiritual art. "

Correct Mr. Arthur with a bitter smile.

"No, my peculiarity would be this beauty. Hey, Mal."

"Master Merlin is very beautiful, but he's just impressed with his unparalleled magic skills."

"No, no, it's harder to keep this proposition than to train in magic. You know what I mean?

... Mr. Merlin is already in full joke mode.

It's so organized that it's classified in the past that you can joke about it.

From his attitude, I can tell that Mr. Arthur is the same.

Same goes for Mr. Ex, on the surface.

You look like you're shaking your shoulders and laughing calmly.

Because I was once used to loving laughter, I somehow realized that the smile was a lie.

With that happening, the safe-room temporary is complete.

I installed a transfer recording stone, so I can fly here in an instant whether it's a magic body (avatar) or a living one.

As soon as you return, you will be able to metastasize and be tested by the Spirit.

It won't, though.

"Come on, let's go back"

Each of us touched a transfer recording stone and returned to the camp.

The conclusions of the discussions held after that are concise.

The contents are unclear, there is also the possibility of compulsory participation if placed in the fifth tier, and biological challenges are not extremely dangerous, such as conditions.

It is wiser not to participate.

After that, be wary of monsters coming out of the first tier and patrol in the first and second.

Maintain the camp until the extinction of the original dungeon.

There were no objections.

There was a statement that there was a wish to be fulfilled, not exactly a waste or something, but something like a little thought.

No one expressed a willingness to try.

Merlin, who dreamed of meeting the Spirit, also said nothing with a sinister face.

If you think of the four layers of monsters you've had so far, you can imagine how dangerous it would be to try them alive.

The Spirit's Trial isn't necessarily a battle, but you can't even try what it is.

Being able to fight with your life when it matters is not the same as not knowing.

Yes, we didn't intend to be tested by the Spirit.

Things changed the next day.

The date hasn't changed, it was late at night.

I feel the camp rush and I wake up and I'm out of the tent.

I guess they woke me up where I was sleeping, Mal, who had a rare habit of sleeping in her hair, was getting a report.

"Is something wrong...?

"Ah... Dear Leme... Yes, something... I don't know what to say..."

I turn to the investigator I was reporting. [M]

He made sure Mr. Mal snorted before he looked at me.

"We are responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the original dungeon. Prevent intrusion if there are nearby residents or animals, so that any changes in the dungeons can be reported immediately."

"Yes."

It's an important role. Even though it was late at night, he kept me safe.

"Earlier, similar reports came up in multiple locations. It's called," The entrance is made. "

――――

Meaning, okay.

I needed time to guess my intentions.

Mr. Mal must have been equally troubled.

Structural changes now, that also put a hand on the appearance......?

First of all, it's not a change for us.

I don't know until I check, but I've made the fourth layer so black that it won't connect to the update area now.

In the first place, if you're going to make something like that, you just have to make it as a fifth layer.

This means that there are more entrances leading to the first level.

- No.

"Has anyone come in?

Mr. Mal also listened to the conversation with interest.

Apparently, I spoke up in the middle of the report. [M]

From here on out, she hadn't even heard, either.

"Following the emergency procedures, a first line of adventurers attempted to break in - but they left as soon as they stepped in. However, he said that he did not feel damaged by the Magic Body (Avatar)..."

Me and Mal looked at each other.

"Direct... But why..."

I can't even break in. Cannot enter with Magic Body (Avatar).

Fifth floor.

"If you were listening to our discussion (,,,,,), you would have found that there was no fifth tier challenge for the investigation team. Suppose it's a response on that..."

"Are you inviting people out of the fact-finding team to ignore and challenge their policies?

I mean, no, but I'd like to try if my wishes come true.

I don't think I have a choice until I get to the point where I have those thoughts.

It's reason to discipline there.

But if you are tempted, sometimes those who give in come out.

Somehow, I feel different. Impossible, but not smart.

This Spirit is likely to identify more individuals at the pinpoint and direct them to the fifth level.

"Confirm everyone's location and guard the increased entrance. It is also possible that a new entrance will occur. Double the number of patrols."

"Ha."

As he stepped back, Mr. Mal and I looked at each other again.

She looked serious, but when she saw my outfit, she seemed to recall that she had just gotten out of her simple bed again, too.

I lean over while rushing to get my hair in order. This is like trying to reduce the area of my face that fits into my sight as much as possible.

"Oh, something ugly..."

"Oh, no, I'm the one..."

"Sounds like an emergency, doesn't it?

... Yes, I knew.

I thought it was time to come.

Mr. Mal shook his shoulder in dismay.

Mira came to my side, perfectly familiar.

"Weren't we talking serious?

You're absolutely right, so we snort.

"I don't want to think that there are people in the fact-finding team who ignore the instructions and try..."

"Uh, yeah. The problem is..."

From between us, the soothing air disappears.

- If the surrounding residents are involved,

"... you should warn the village, right? Even if you hear the Spirit, don't obey him."

It's tempting to wake up everyone in the village at this hour, but not if you're saying that.

"... I'm coming."

"Me and Arthur, let's go."

If you noticed, Mr. Ex and Mr. Arthur were also out.

It would be comforting if you had a second party member.

Everyone will also understand the seriousness of the story.

"I'll give it to you, too"

Mira raised her voice, too.

Waking up all the villagers and confirming their location takes time. A lot of manpower would help.

We rented several other investigators, and we hurried to the village by carriage.

In conclusion - it sucked.

What turns out in waking everyone up is - thirteen disappearances.

Everyone who understands the seriousness of the situation is gathered at the village assembly point and they are all upset. Some of the families of the disappeared were disturbed.

A natural reaction. Because the beloved may have disappeared into a dungeon where he is inexplicable and challenged a trial where he does not know what it is.

It's only natural that there will be those who hold us accountable.

"Why don't you stop? If it's a dungeon offense, it's still cruel to say that even spiritual pranks can be prevented. It's not something caused by the negligence of the investigation team, blaming it is a difference."

That's what the village chief once said to me, and I manage to calm the place down to the point where I can talk.

"I think the Spirit lured him out saying his wish would come true. Have any of us... heard the Spirit?

Then, some of them raised their hands.

Some of them appeared to be my father.

To sum up the testimony, here's the deal.

'If you beat the trial with a strong heart, I will grant you your wish,' he whispered, largely like that.

"... Didn't think to follow me?

"There's no such thing as a wish for the Spirit to come true."

He's a strong man, my father.

But what is the Spirit meant to be?

I didn't expect you to gather those who lost temptation and show a strong heart...

No, I don't know what the purpose is.

It's about calling us in.

"I don't think I can be relieved by these words, but this Spirit isn't the kind of guy who kills people. If you're a spiritual who kills people and enjoys them, there's a dead man in the investigation team."

I was trying to recreate the dungeon offense as best I could and crush this one with all my might.

It's only in the rules.

If you defeat a strong enemy, you will not spare any reward.

This action will be because we were passive in our deepest challenge.

Fight to the end, the message.

"And what happens if you fail the trial...?

Saying it in a trembling voice is one of the trio of examples. The other two disappeared.

"I don't know. I just promise everyone, I'll take you home without one left. Absolutely."

Shit, he held his shoulder from the side.

It was Mr. Ex.

"Well said, lemme. Naturally, we'll be part of a rescue operation, too. You'll be anxious, but please calm down. I'll get you out, I'll make sure."

I found that the declaration of the powerful second [brave] somewhat lessens everyone's anxiety.

My parents and Mr. Hawk, Mr. and Mrs. Canary, looked worried until the end.

Turn a smile and leave the spot behind.

"Mr. Leme......"

I can't afford to be reacting to Mira's carefree voice.

"Surely this Spirit has nothing to do with harm to people. Whatever malice was necessary to defend the dungeon, there was no sinister thought of hurting a person's life. As Lemé said, there will be no dead."

Mr. Arthur responds to Mr. Ex's words.

"... oh, but the fifth tier is conditional on biological participation. Even if I don't die, I can think of a penalty. In the first place, have the missing thirteen already entered the fifth tier? Is the entrance alert?

"There is also a line called 'space travel'. There must be some way to scratch the spirits out of the circle."

"Strong heart, because don't worry about it. Is it a challenging trial for even villagers? Or are there different trials available for us and the villagers? Too little information"

"Fortunately, I have a comms machine. One person should be able to enter the fifth floor and communicate the situation to everyone."

"If that's the case -"

Even as they were in the carriage, they continued to have a constructive conversation.

When I got back to camp, I quickly geared up.

On the robe and scepter of [Black Demon Instructor], the sword my father gave me.

My body is in good shape.

Outside the tent, there was Mr. Fulcus.

The white hair with brown skin stretches along the contours of the face, but it is dull and bouncing by the way. I can't read emotions from purple eyes. A short body like a girl, but a busty breast that doesn't match her physique, catches the eye.

[Mowing Knight] Fulcus. Demon King Castle eighth floor. Master of my sword.

"Reme, give in"

"... Um, I'm in a hurry now"

"Master's orders."

…………

Mr. Fulcus was the one who coached me, but he never gave me orders.

That's what she says so far, so maybe it's something serious.

I was right, I gave in.

Moment after moment, I was pinched on both cheeks with her little hand.

I get cheeks slapped in my hands.

"Your strength is that even if your heart is hot, your head stays covered."

――――

"Regret doesn't disturb me. Surprised but undisturbed. I'm not disturbed by fear. Strong heart. So lemme, don't mess up if you're angry. Weaken."

I feel my hot head getting cold.

Yes, I was angry that there was a missing person out of the village, that I made everyone anxious.

And it lacked calm.

"……… Yes, Master"

"Mmm. Still immature, not enough training"

"haha, I will refine"

Laugh. I could laugh. I was able to make room for my mind. That's it.

Join everyone with Mr. Fulcus.
