Over The Infinite

-1 -

I've been looking for a way to be just for a long time.

If you are a human, you have spent the rest of your life exploring it.

I still can't find the answer. I also think that maybe something like that doesn't exist.

People, the values and mindsets that change every time times shift are fluid and uncertain. I guess that's the hallmark of a short raw, early generation shift.

Of course, I'm not saying that's generally a bad thing. The early cycle gives rise to the advantage of multifaceted nature, accelerating the development of civilization. It's a long raw, think-stagnant demon tribe, which means it's a hard world for me.

My friend's scholar laughs at the smell of old people.

'Long raw would have the advantage of long raw. For a human being, a long life like yours is what you want in exchange for anything. "

Apparently, it's the same thing that looks as good as someone else's belongings, even if the race is different.

I am even more special among demons with a long life span, the age is past seventy and as a demon, youth is a good place, but I live a few times that as an actual physical feeling.

In a dungeon called the Infinite Corridor, the speed at which time passes is different from that of the outside world. They spend years rejuvenating in a long dungeon offense, distracting if they are ordinary people.

If you ask me what I dive into the infinite corridor for, it's hard to answer.

At first, I admired the fairy tale brave men, in order to help them. But the way brave men, heroes, and righteousness in human society change their appearance in a corny way.

It's like an antique that was obsolete a long time ago, like the statue of the brave man I painted inside me. In all these long, very long years, I am about to lose sight of the way of justice.

"Originally, justice is an ambiguous word. The values of that era, vary greatly depending on where you stand '

I know exactly what you're trying to say.

Justice for someone says it can be evil if you try it on someone different. I feel that based on many hands-on experiences. Sometimes you can throw stones at things you think are good.

Bad dragons ate people.

A righteous brave man defeated that dragon.

If that's all it is, it's a tale of good and evil. It establishes justice by placing the dragon as absolute evil. It's an easy story for me to understand.

But suppose, for example, a bad bandit stole a dragon's egg and the dragon just retaliated.

Suppose the king, who gave the brave man the order to crusade the dragon, actually wanted the scale of the dragon but fabricated the facts for it.

Such information only adds up, and brave men become evil to someone. Even if you give up a hundred steps, it's just a clown, a puppet.

In the first place, even if it was a hunt to get food, it wouldn't be just a means of life and evil for the dragon.

Just change your perspective a little and broaden the scope. The standards of good and evil swing easily. Actually things are more complicated, and there's nothing I can say for sure about what's right.

'I wish there were clear criteria. Offences determined by law such as killing people, stealing things... I can't help it because there is no standard for being evil. That's a human rule. I guess some countries don't find demons guilty of killing them, do they?

There is. On the contrary, there are countries where killing the same human being is not a sin if there is a difference in identity.

If you ask me, that law was created by reference to man. Although it is based on some degree of goodness, rules often still apply that are convenient for those in power.

If you don't have clear criteria, you can make them.

Then how about many beings decide that what they deem evil is good? It's called majority voting.

'Don't be a number of violence if that's the case. It sounds good when it comes to majority voting, but if you can make the rule of winning if you have a large number, even things that make you nauseous can be just. Even fairy tales that you like are like the result. That's an unreasonable mass for the vast majority of demons other than you, a work to spit on. "

Maybe I'm the only Demon who enjoys it purely.

'But it is a popular work that is widely recognized globally. If you say the Demon Nation is evil in its popular works, even those who do not know the Demon Nation are likely to be convinced. Especially since humans are numerous, a majority vote is just right to take advantage of the weapon of high numbers. It looks fair.'

Humans are high in numbers anyway. The Demons are overwhelmingly smaller in number than humans, so they were recognized as convenient evils?

... I see. Numbers of violence.

Sacrifice rather than evil.

Still, the vast majority wanted it, didn't they? As a demon, I can't convince you, and I don't want to, but can't that be called justice on one side?

'It's even suspicious if the vast majority wanted it. It's not uncommon for you to change your mind by being captured by the opinions around you. Soon louder voices become the majority. If propaganda like fairy tales existed, it would spread more effectively. There is no diversity there. Was your thoughts slightly but unwavering when you asked for my opinion?

It's hard when they say that.

He says that a majority vote is not fair unless all the people who participate in it have a clear will.

"Fairness" cannot be established unless all participating humans have the upbringing to accurately identify things and isolate all of them.

Such an ideal situation would not be possible. What's the matter? I'm influenced by other intentions than myself.

Even I'm not such a noble person. I'm not very smart in the first place. I don't like to think, so I tend to ask others for answers. I know it's a bad habit, but when I'm thinking alone, my thoughts start to go around in grandeur.

"I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but then we shouldn't talk about justice. In the end, justice is just a belief. Even if someone denies it, I think it's justice if you believe it." I "think so. I believe so. '

Well, that's only his opinion, and he denies it's not my idea. Thinking, perceiving, thinking differently.

But it's true that I don't even feel so wrong.

'If you're going to chew yourself up and decide you're not wrong after swallowing it, I think that's already your point. What's the matter? The voices of others are in my ears. "

Yes, I think it's important to respect people's opinions. I'm never putting my vices on the shelf.

But if you get a lot of information from doing so, you can still make a difference in opinion.... So we go back to the first problem. A grand tour.

'From that, you find the answers you think are right. If you don't have an answer, you should worry and think. Demons have a long life span. There's plenty of time, right?

You only have time. If you are human, you can live for as long as the standards of good and evil shake.

'With that in mind, you should accumulate strength. I can't go by the claim of a guy who has no power whatsoever. One day, when your justice is found, you'll need the strength to destroy it. "

Are we talking about justice without power not being justice enough?

I have a point, but I'm not convinced. It also looks like it's just repeating reason with force.

Then is righteousness without power something that cannot exist?

"There is no such thing as an answer to that question. The word" justice "itself is uncertain. However, if I may say so in my own opinion, I think it can be concluded. '

I expected it to be returned no, so the answer was honestly unexpected.

This man is surprisingly a romantic.

'There is justice, weak or piercing. However, it is very limited and may not reach what he or she wanted. In short, it's an alley. The power that you possess determines the extent of justice. If you're gonna do something bigger, it makes sense that you're gonna need strength, right? And power is not enough when you need it.'

Maybe so.

So I told you to build on it beforehand. So that one day I can pierce whatever justice I find.

"It would be impotent to say what it is. That is what equates to being called God. Or maybe the infinite corridor is the way to that god."

It's a corridor that I don't know how far it'll go. Unfortunately, there are some parts that cannot be said to be mistakes.

I keep diving into the infinite corridor to help, but it may be possible to gain what can be called Almighty if we keep moving forward. I guess that'll take a lot of time.

I'm sick and tired of it at the moment. If you get that far, you're going to be enlightened without any relationship of power. I'm going to be indifferent to everything about things.

'Well, that being said, there's no kiri. You should determine the range'

Range?

'The scope of your application of justice. It would take stronger force if its scope were wider, but at least if we set the scope for wanting to penetrate this, it would be easier to set guidelines in times of trouble, right? Especially since you are troubling. [M] When we lose our way, this is all we can't give way to, this is all we want to protect, this is all we want to destroy, and by drawing the line, the minimum justice becomes clear'

Yeah, that could be good. It's easy to understand. Do you first define the scope of justice that you can penetrate with the power that you have now?

You don't even have to stop there. If you can afford it, you can spread your hands further there as a central point.

'Right. That's how you broaden the scope of justice, and you can save the world any day.'

That's a big deal.

In the first place, I never wanted to save the world, even if I admired brave men. I admired the fairy tale brave man because he wasn't standing as a savior.

"I, Roctor Belkos, shall I prophesy. You... Berenvar Igmut will eventually be a brave man. That may not be the embodiment of justice desired by 10,000 people. It may not be possible to make that happen in this era. But you will soon arrive at the answer at the end of the long labyrinth. That must be your only justice."

I remember such an old conversation.

I still can't find the answer. I haven't been able to get out of what Roctre calls a long labyrinth. In the first place, maybe there's no answer.

However, what I can say for sure is that I am not just fighting as a spike in the war of aggression. You deny that you're even the standard yourself, so that can't be the right thing to do.

So, what do we do?

I have the power to dismiss my justice. Then define what needs to be done next and the scope for reaching out.

There is no justice or justice in this war. I don't have the beliefs or ideals to call it justice, either.

But there's something I wanted to protect. I myself, and some people do harm to what I wanted to protect. That's the tiny amount of justice I'm going to lay down right now.

In the meantime, eliminating that evil would be a top priority.

If we defeat the causes that created this situation, we can also achieve another aim: to protect Satina and Coral. It is easy to understand and suitable for me.

Next we need to examine the means to achieve it, and sort out the preconditions.

-2 -

The war of independence against the Kingdom of Orendia continued from its inception in the favor of the Kingdom of Laden.

Not surprisingly, at least for a few weeks from the start, Aurendia just lowered the front without a busy response. Without having to put in "The Brave," Lardin let his own army fight each other. Laden, who lacks the strength and strength to fight well against Orendia opponents with different digits of national power, would have been something that even the then head of the Laden kingdom had not imagined.

I'm just worried about judging because of it, or because of it, but my input was dropped off for a while.

It would be a big deal if the field commander's mercenary unit leader decided I wasn't needed. Trump cards, there would have been a desire to keep secret weapons warm.

I think the decision is right, too. Even though it's powerful, it's only one trump card.

Of course, it is a big premise that the other party is not aware of the existence of the trump card, but it is more effective to put it out in important situations than to put it out in situations where there is no need to show it and be vigilant and consider countermeasures.

As it turns out, I'm just going to spend my days waiting at the front base. It's not a job I want to do, so you're welcome. We can kill as many people as we want.

The good fight of the Kingdom of Lardin. Much of that factor lies in each other's morale.

The Orendian side was attacked without any explanation, and the opposing Laden side is full of their mission to be independent of the evil kingdom.

A soldier half forced to conscript from all over the kingdom shows a battle as if he had been a soldier from the beginning. Normally, even the front line, which seems not strange to escape with fear, bravely and resolutely moves forward.

That was a creepy army. Soldiers ready to pierce the balls like they floated in heat. Fighting without a scratch seemed overlapping with the Seekers we once saw in the infinite corridor.

But unlike dungeons, they don't come back to life when they die. brave warriors in the face of irrevocable death. You can call it reckless.

Once I wondered what the hell would make me do that, even my head, which was not very good at it, could easily lead me to an answer.

In short, they are manipulated. Before this war began, the King's speech was repeated to fan. I guess that's the messenger. I don't know how strong it is, but a dubious magician used that speech to brainwash Lardin's people. I don't see any state anomalies when I "nurse" them, but I guess that's because they're outside the boundaries of systems such as levels and HP. I mean, they're just invisible and they're in a < brainwashing > state.

If I'm being honest with you, I don't want to save them. I don't know anything about them and I don't have a good impression. I know it's pathetic, but I'm not going to spread my hand of salvation that far.

Rather, it is the people of the other kingdom of Orendia who are so sympathetic. My scope for justice is not wide enough to want to save someone with such a low priority.

You won't be able to stop any longer than the end of the war has opened. Killing a king or that sorcerer from now on will not stop the war. I just have to get to where I'm going now.

If I had the ability to unbrainwash them, I might have exercised it enough, but I don't have that power right now. If this was the original world, I could have handled it with an item, but I'm one now. Weapons aren't even busy.

Absolutely, there were some helpless braves. I get revulsion.

In the meantime, it helps that there is an easy to understand evil. Turn that thing off and my immediate purpose is over.

It's not what Lardin found out afterwards. It's none of my business if it collapses and gets ravaged.

A long time ago, I would have made a leap to save more than one person, but that's not what I'd do. It doesn't fall within my scope of justice.

In the period up to this point, that's how the definition was completed in me.

It was a war that started that way, but gradually Orendia started pushing back.

As a matter of course, the opponent is a big country. The local power is different as long as the system is in place. Especially since the Knights of the Kingdom of Orendia showed up on the battlefield. It doesn't look very strong in the long run, but I guess it still has an impact. The battlefield begins to lean visibly. Even though they have morale, the original power of the country is different. If you give me time, I have no more eyes for reversal.

... yes, if it were meant to be.

I was finally put into that phase. If you're thinking of a war station, it would be a good time not to do it any more.

Successfully defeat Orendia's proud Knights of the Kingdom. The appearance of unilaterally ravaging multiple knights by themselves should have attracted enough upset from the opponent.

I've been watching a little bit to feel the strength of the Kingdoms Knight and the dogs on my skin, but that's only the beginning. The degree of practice seems to be much better than Lardin's soldiers, but if you look at it from a thousand, neither one nor two will change.

What you do is just work. Standing apart as a being in the first place. It doesn't even make it a battle-like fight.

Having said that, I was totally unwilling to win this war, so I kindly asked you to return. Basically, I won't take my life, and I will keep it to the point where even serious injuries will precisely prevent me from holding my sword in the future. There is also magic in this world, so it may be possible to heal completely.

Even if he healed his injuries and killed Lardin's soldiers, that's not what I knew. They don't clearly tell you to kill him.

However, it would be tactically more effective to have him back as an injured person than to kill him. A scholar from a friend of mine who was once in the original world... Roctre said that.

A normal war without the intervention of powerful magic can take more time to heal, transport to the rear, and help the injured than if they had purely killed them. I was impressed by what they said.

It's not a rare way to tell him, but I'm an amateur when it comes to war. I don't even want to kill you on purpose, so this would be the most sensible way to fight.

If you're a man of good sense, you might curse me for being the one who's prolonging the war on pranks, but I've never known that. If you complain, tell that magician or the responsible king.

That is how the rewinding of the Kingdom of Lardin begins again.

Flirt the trump card named me and put it in when you need it. I think a lot of parts of it is useless not to use maximum force, but the operation also seemed to be going well.

That troop leader does pretty good too. It helps because it makes it easier for me too.

Thus, the front line falls into a rigid state.

We really need manpower to occupy the territory. Even if I fight alone, the front line won't move.

As far as I can remember, the only time the front was moved was when it painstakingly occupied the city near the border. It was soon regained, but that is arguably the only battle merit that the Laden army seems to have.

If we want to win, at least we have to do the least we can.... I know you don't have the ability to do this.

And nothing kingdom needs to hold on to just one battlefield. No matter how small Laden is, the borders are wide. If I can expand the battlefield, I can't handle it alone, and Lardin doesn't have the personnel to handle it.

Although there are no signs of it yet, Lardin may attack from the sea because a third of the country is bordered by the sea. As far as I can tell, Orendia is pretty strong in the Navy, too.

It won't be long if we keep this up. With only a few glitches, the front collapses. I don't have a problem with that.

I don't have a problem with the war situation... but the problem is that we haven't decided on the means to kill that sorcerer yet.

The means themselves are varied. However, it is extremely difficult when it is a way to ensure that no harm is done to Satina.

It's easy if you just multiply it by the gap of confusion and kill it. It would be nice to go aboard with dignity. I just can't kill you without darkness anymore than I don't know the trigger for the death curse.

If it stays like this, it could be a fraternized response. Something, something needs a hand in moving the situation forward.

Surprisingly, that hand came from the Orendia side.

Was it about a month after the end of the war was opened? There was movement on the front line that seemed to last forever. Orendia put in a mysterious mercenary unit.

At first I thought it was a replacement personnel, just a mercenary, but it obviously moved differently. It's a different force in dimension than just a soldier around.

Sudden encounter, delayed response to sudden events, but that seems to have been the same for them. Only for a moment, but we developed distracted air as we were stunned by each other. And then we go into battle without being able to swallow things up with each other.

Speaking from the results, the repelling went well. He slashed one arm off without being able to add or subtract well, but that seems to have become the hang-up to the retreat.

Probably will do something about the slashed arm as well. The facts confirmed in The Nursing proved it.

Lv35 to Lv45 level information. Naturally, there is also HP, and the amount of information that can be verified is as if it were different from other general soldiers. He also confirmed that he was using therapeutic witchcraft during the retreat.

... That's my kind.

Even after the battle, the situation remains unclear. What the hell is going on? Why are two different systems living together in the same world? I don't know what that means.

-3-

When I lowered my hips down to the bed in the cabin I had prepared for Coral, my fatigue suddenly pushed over. That's a different kind of fatigue than a dungeon attack.

The quarters are available, but we basically decided not to use them. I don't want to meet other military men, and I don't want to be hung up.

I'm not a regular soldier. All you have to do is receive a command from your boss, the captain of the mercenary unit, and keep that instruction. I also have the permission of the Force Leader.

"... did you have such a hidden ball"

Sleeping in a poor smelly bed, looking up at the ceiling, I think about my kind who showed up on the battlefield.

It wouldn't mean there's zero possibility, but it wouldn't be a resident of the original world. Perhaps I am a resident of this world.

I don't understand the situation. Why do some people have HP or levels and others don't? I've never seen a system mixed up in the original world or in an infinite corridor. That's a different world. Common sense is different.

Moreover, in the information we could see in the Nursing, he was quite high-level. It can be considered unnatural if it occurs naturally.

They are definitely dungeons...... that would probably be the challenger of the infinite corridor too. I don't understand why it's just some people, but the kingdom has an infinite corridor or something equivalent.

This is definitive.... Lardin has no eyes for reversal. Originally there was no winning eye, but whatever that magician might do, he wouldn't be able to flip this.

Assuming I fought as hard as I could, it's probably not enough. The extremely normal flow has just become decisive, but this can be described as a convenient development for me.

"Hey, brave Sama"

It was the coral that came into the cabin without making any noise.

I don't possess that kind of skill, but I think it's a big deal to show up unattended by my perception. With some skill aids, you're likely to be a fine supportive seeker.

"... you still look frigid"

"Hina. I haven't seen you in a long time."

I've never fought with you before, so you can call me a comrade.

"So, what do you say?"

"The rice tastes bad"

"You don't have to be so obvious. I know that's not what you want to hear."

Of course it's a joke, but this is the truth. I guess military food is determined to be basically unsavory in every world, but the Laden Army's. That was far beyond my imagination.

The flavour is extremely intense. And it's all salty. It makes me feel like I'm roaming a chunk of salt, such as dried meat. I guess it's better than no salt gas, but things will have limits.

Even while we're attacking the infinite corridor, we're eating something a little better. Honestly, it's tight.

Some of Laden's people can't keep their meals busy on their own, so the military greats say this is still better, but they don't know that.

"So, what do you want to hear? You know the war is yours."

"I'm here because I know.... How much more is it going to keep?

He's oddly smart in places like this. Crisis sensitive or something. I guess I felt this war begin to accelerate towards the end.

"... to be honest, I don't know. I'm not a warrior. I'm willing to carry as much as I can if you ask me to keep my current front line, but I'll be broken from somewhere else before I do."

"Uh, that's right. I know, but there's nothing I can do."

Feet...... with Ville would be able to handle that too to some extent, but I wouldn't be willing to even if I could call it in.

"If you know what I mean, it's time to get ready to run. Once it's broken down, it's gonna crash into the country in no time."

You... no, you can help him escape if you're about your troops.

I won't put it in my mouth.

"I'm good at getting away with it because I'm good at being confused by the dothax... but if I do something to Brave Sama, they show up strong."

…………

Is that still the real story? I don't know which unit Coral is assigned to, but that's exactly what I'm telling you.

But what more can I explain than not knowing the details about who they are.

"... well, I say it's just the right opportunity, but they'll be my kind"

That's eighty-nine for sure.

"My kind?... They seemed like normal people, but are they brave Sama too?

"I know you do, but it doesn't mean racial. I don't even know if it's the one they called for in that metastasis. It just means you're standing on the same mound as me."

"Uh-huh, are there five or six of them? But you repelled him, didn't you? Some of them have slashed their arms, so they're definitely down."

A normal opponent would have a hard time getting back on the front if he slashed his arm off. But they're not normal.

"... aren't you going to heal me?

"Was Brave Sama a Lizardman or some near-breed after all..."

I know what it is. It's a tough reaction to decide if you're joking or serious. I don't have the ability to self-regenerate. Those kind of people won't self-regenerate either.

"Even if they have limbs, if they're not dead, there's a way to treat them. I don't have a big idea right now, but if they're like each other, they're supposed to be magic, they're supposed to be items, they're treatable."

"Are you serious..."

In fact, at the time of the retreat, he had begun treatment.

I know it's a world that the stranger doesn't understand. Not as good as here, but in the original world, it was seen with strange eyes.

"If you lose your arms or your eyes, say it. A limited number of times, but treatment is possible"

"Ooh... I didn't really imagine that."

They're running at my mercy, so I'll do it.

"But, you know, we can actually repel it, so we can figure it out next time, right?

The relative ones were definitely strong, but not a big threat to me. I have the same level, I have HP, and my skills... I didn't come using them, but even if I did, I'm more confident than they are. The only unknown information I care about is the 'class', but even a team of five or six opponents with such a poor arm would be able to repel it without a problem. Concerns lie elsewhere.

"If it's just them."

"... you mean there are other guys who can fight brave Sama properly? You gotta be kidding me."

You guys can't touch one finger on me, so you must be stunned. Those guys would be six, but without me, they'd be able to gently blow up all the troops on the front line.

"It's a guess from the feeling I actually tried to fight. Those guys were more digitally resistant than any other soldier or knight, but still they weren't aces."

"Ace?"

"You can call them captains or leaders, but the point is, they're inferior. I was under the impression that there was a stronger guy and that was holding him back."

"Seriously. You mean there might be someone as strong as Sama the Brave? Damn it, Orendia."

Even if you're qualified, you'll probably lose in this situation.... Probably not, it's a must lose.

Their arming was cleverly misleading, but it was made of magic. This one, by contrast, is just an iron sword and armor. The difference in armaments is difficult.

I said it's the same size, but there's plenty of potential for it to come out next.

"Has such a prominent presence never appeared on the table before? I'm a mercenary, so I think I've heard rumors."

"Rumors...... then there is. It was a frown saliva story and I never encountered it, but I've heard of unusually strong guys showing up on the battlefield sometimes. But it's a foreign story."

"I see..."

He said there hasn't been a major war around here in recent years, and that would be inevitable.

If that's true, your kind should be an organization. A presence that had the power to appear regardless of frontiers. Mercenaries...... wouldn't be. More massive.

Does that mean that different beings possess infinite corridors, not the Kingdom of Orendia... If they put their hips in, they'd be out.

... We have to do something... to win the Kingdom of Lardin...

... in order to spread the scourge of war...

"Hey, what's up? Brave Sama."

... If I break into a single enemy site and move my stronghold while destroying it, and hold down the center as it is, this war is expected to be prolonged...

…………

"Whoa! Belen, belen var!!"

"... bad. I was thinking."

It was about to be swallowed up by a deep, whirlpool of thought, but pulled back by the voice of the coral.

"What's going on? Obviously, things have been weird."

Weird... Weird indeed.

I don't care about the Kingdom of Laden. I'm not going to put a winning math on it. Why bother trying to figure out a way to win?

What... Something's wrong.... No way, I'm being brainwashed before I know it?

No, I totally resisted that magician trick. Currently, there is no such representation in the status either. Have you gone crazy getting hit by battlefield air?

"You have time to sleep, don't you? Get some rest so you can move at times."

"... oh yeah"

... Either way, at tide time.

"... it's time for me to get ready to run, too"

"Do you... do you want to steal something golden while you run away? I'll help."

"That's just what you want to do. I'm not gonna stop you, but I'm not gonna give you a hand."

I don't know who you're dealing with, but I don't steal. This is my aesthetic before justice.

But if you need it for my justice, I will.

"What's that lady going to do?

"Sure, I'll do something about it."

The thing about Satina is my righteousness. I'll definitely do something about it.

Even the executioner who kidnapped me into this world, the victim, I don't think she's guilty. I want to save you.

"I don't steal, but I'm going to take that sorcerer's life for the cost of getting there. Previous battles will be enough for the price."

"That must be him, but can I kill him? You said before that there was a good chance of a curse reacting to the surgeon's death."

That's a possibility I told Coral before.

That magician put a death curse on me and Satina as a spare insurance policy so I wouldn't betray him. The curse on me, which is destiny, is more than ineffective, and I have no shackles if I even manage to do so hung on Satina.

The problem is the details of the curse… I don't know the activation conditions in particular. Does he need to be activated actively, or is he triggering his own death? I don't really want to think about it, but it can also be time-activated regardless of the operator, and if a set time comes, that's all it takes to die.

So the best solution is to break the curse itself.

'Cause there's going to be a curse.'

"... No way"

Exactly. If there were any of them like me, there would be one or so of them familiar with spells.

"... make contact with the Orendia example guys"

-4-

However, since the first contact, I have not encountered any of your kind on the battlefield.

Stagnating war situations. And I hear it's time for the front to collapse in the provinces. The brainwashing effect of the example is also close to its limit, and morale seems to be falling a lot.

I didn't have time. At last, that sorcerer will activate the curse.

Though there have been more lately, there are few occasions when I am put into action. I usually have plenty of free time in the cabin that I got for the coral.

"Hey, brave Sama."

"You always show up the way you do. Is there any more unusual way of appearing?

The liaison is in San Goro. At first it was on its own, but at some point it undertook as a formal role within the unit.

"Even if they say so. I'm not a clown."

"It looks like a mercenary, and even an ass hole seems to be suppressing it."

"That's not what we do. I don't think so."

Am I right? I think it's suspicious around the captain of the unit. Whatever it is during the operation, it's crazy to look at me during normal times.

That troop leader is one of the few people I take care of, so I have some desire to reach out and help him, but I feel a little sick.

"Well, I see you have no talent for laughter.... So, what happened to that bandage?

The coral that appeared hung one arm and covered half his face with a bandage. If it's just the way it looks, it's serious.

"Heh, I'm dodged. I don't feel sorry for what I did."

"You don't know what that means. You're not hurt."

"That, you know?

Of course. The observation eye is still going to be working out. Intelligence gathering, which has little information on status but does not rely on it, is fundamental in combat. Fake injury spots are discernible.

"I'm going to turn out pretty well... I'm the one who quit my unit."

"Right."

"Well, this is a place to ask why and how, isn't it?

"Why did you quit?

He said, "I don't want to get caught."

I'm not very interested in your affiliation.

I thought it was time for a big war.

"... I see, is that an impersonation of the injury justified for discharge"

"Discover. Seems like the captain knew. Nevertheless, I haven't officially quit yet, so this intermediary remains the same"

Other than you, it's going to be a hassle, so don't help. I don't like it when the captain himself comes.

"That means more time to gather information.... I've been looking into them."

"... well, that helps"

I haven't encountered it since, but it's better if I can check the information in advance. It would also help to negotiate.

As a precaution, I thought it would be quicker to get in touch with the guys, but this one turned out to be quicker.

"They're a little off the capital of the king of Orendia, a labyrinth city, most likely from the city."

"The Labyrinth City is another direct ball."

It's like saying there's a dungeon there. If it were such a name, it would be de fate.

If you were referring to the name of the city, I would have hooked it up if I had done a little more research. It's more likely than not to go for the Unexploited Devil's Great Forest or the Dark Continent.

According to San Goro, if it's just a suspicious rumor, I've heard it several times. He said he was gathering people from the outside, focusing on adventurers.

And I don't know why, but when a disaster-class monster shows up or there's a war, a human being appears as a mercenary that comes from that labyrinth city.

"I was too frigid to look into it busily, but I had to look into it properly and found the information. There's nothing you can't do."

"A part of the kingdom would have merchants dealing with each other in deals and such. We're going to gather as much information as we can."

"That's what blocks the city from interfering other than calling adventurers from the outside. The guy who didn't go home trying to break in, he said it was about a few stars."

You're building a city to block the outside world while attacking infinite corridors? I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't see the benefits.

... considering the people who came out on the battlefield, are you increasing the number of attackers' mothers? Does that make sense?

"It sounds good to see the infinite corridor is there"

"Is that what you used to say about the dungeon?

"Oh. In the infinite corridor, even if you die, you come back. Me... we're using it to work out. It's the strength of me and those people.

"Brave... oh, enough, you mean Beren worked out there too? He said he had the same thing."

"Oh, I've died countless times already"

Dead, resurrected and repeated. I can't stay in a decent spirit. So, suppose we're going on offense on a city scale, that would be some extra tough guys.

"In my world, it was called the test of death and it was a form of torture. The world knows it, but only a few of us know it's a decent attack."

Even a few of them are lunatics from the edge. Me and Roctre may seem normal at first glance, but it would be in the same category. Proceed to torture and challenge. I can't do it unless I'm crazy.

"In it, you can come back to life and be strong, right? Then I think there are more people out there who can use it."

"Can you postpone being chopped, melted, torn apart and eaten?

"... right, you will. Sounds impossible."

It is difficult to survive even shallow layers without decent fighting power. It's harder to move on.

Besides, I can't even remember my skills without talent. Sometimes you'll find a skill orb inside, but it's close to reckless to try it in anticipation.

I can't stand it, it would be better if I had a mental breakdown first. Or maybe it would be more efficient to have a mental breakdown and not think about it.

"The main use is often to throw in criminals, train them and use them for war. If we don't even have a mental breakdown, we'll have a benign soldier."

"Like Belen?

"I'm not a criminal, and things are a little different, but growing up like me... I guess it's not impossible"

If you defeat a monster, the level rises, so you can strengthen it for that matter. Time does not pass, so if we can find the means to rejuvenate successfully, even humans will continue to work out.

"So you're saying that's just a dungeon to work out?

"Sometimes you find expensive items inside, but no one wants to try them for financial purposes."

"If there's a treasure, I think there's someone who's going to try for it."

I won't put it in my mouth, but my coral eyes say I want the money. Honesty is a good thing.

"They used to be pretty good. However expensive, if you can produce something close, no one will challenge you close to beating."

Actually, I'm not here yet, but I'll give up in no time.

Items that can be discovered in shallow hierarchies are mostly studied and can be produced outside.

It's not worth it to say it's expensive. Though physical safety is guaranteed because you don't die, few people want to challenge you until you commit a mental risk.

If you stumble across an undiscovered item or dive as deep as I do, you can still understand it because it's not a dream to grab a thousand bucks, but it would be too risky.

"You mean we talked about that, that there's such a legion of immortals in a labyrinth city?

"... would not be immortal outside the dungeon... I guess so"

"Whoa, whoa."

I can't tell you exactly because I don't know the size of the city and I don't know how many of them are explorers, but when you're actively challenging them on that scale, it's a threat.

The team I fought for didn't seem that disturbed in spirit, but still had the strength of a thirty tier class. If you think that's the normal part of a labyrinth city, it's just a nest of monsters. You may not win by putting in all my world's armies.

... No, why are you thinking about winning? I may need an analysis, but I'm not planning on turning them around on the enemy. I'd rather you help me.

"Outreach, the labyrinth city and maybe there's an environment where you can mitigate the risk and attack."

"Then you mean I might get strength like Belen too... is that it?

"What do you think? Out there, you might get stronger than me, but you don't know talent. There will be suited people who don't show up as gifts or skills"

Even Roctre had reached quite a depth in his scholarly habits. What kind of structure is that freaky scholar's head?

"That's what it looks like about the infinite corridor. So, you still have the information, don't you?

This guy quit his unit, not just to make time for intelligence gathering. There must have been some sign.

"Oh, there is. He's the perfect guy."

"Hey, did you figure out which front they were on?

Then you're in good hands. Abandon this front line. But we're on our way.

"Not quite. I'm talking about a labyrinth city not disguised as a mercenary officially joining the war. Which means the Immortal Legion of Phantoms will appear on this battlefield."

"... Ha ha"

Labyrinth cities and things they do that are very unpopular.

But as far as I'm concerned, it helps. Likely.

"No, I'm glad I listened to you. If you're dealing with these monsters, you only have one way to escape."

"Right. Better just run away. Even if I step on it till the end, the loss is certain."

If I screw up the procedure, I could die, too.

"What are you talking about? I'll run away from the war, but I'll hang out with you till the end."

"... are you insane?

"I'm losing that stuff on some battlefield. Besides, it wouldn't be easy without me, would it?

Indeed, the ability of Coral to gather information, detect crises and act covertly has something to keep an eye on. Prominent I might have a better chance of success than I do.

But the negotiators are the ones at war. There's no benefit to this guy because of the danger.

"It's not a bad idea to sell favors to Sama, the brave one."

"It's dangerous to just negotiate with them. Not necessarily friendly. Besides, they're all non-standard monsters."

"Then we just run away. I didn't say we were going to die together."

Why can Coral hang out with me?

I didn't mean to sell you any favors, and you don't look like you have a back. It's not beneficial to do it with dat or insanity, it's too reckless. But I'm sure you're happy.

"That's... okay. I'm not sure you'll let me get away with this, but you're going to be in a lot of trouble."

"All right, then I'm good. I'm gonna go out with the guy from Labyrinth City and make a bargaining ground."

Too much.

"After that... right. If we get along well with each other, we can afford expensive drinks."

I'll pay you as much as you want.

And the bad story of chest feces that started with my summons moves towards the end.

■

I had a dream.

It's a dream I've never seen before.

I was not me in the dream, I was something else.

The guy was terribly bored and always looking for inspiration.

His soul was so worn that even the long-living Demons would not be able to rub off as much.

I guess it's a sphere if you're going to shape it.

A being that doesn't catch on, doesn't remember being touched by anything.

A star-like being floating in a gravity-free vacuum.

That wasn't the case since he was born.

That happened at the end of a long, long time. That's what I felt I had to do.

The infinite corridor is vast. There is a path to possibilities that should also be called truly infinite.

But even in infinity, there are few things that can inspire him.

Finding it requires as much difficulty and patience as finding a grain of gem from a desert the size of a universe.

Just keep wandering through the infinity in search of the stimulus that moisturizes you.

Eventually, that served a purpose.

I don't care about the thirst I originally had.

But that's all I've come to live for.

Interfering in different worlds.

Keep looking for gems to sprinkle disaster and moisturize the dryness.

My soul, which I thought had worn off long enough, became even more worn, and I couldn't remember the irritation in the simple matter.

... Oh, what a sad being.

There's no justice, no evil, and what he wants is just a shake.

If there's anything that inspires me, and that's good, I keep crossing the world.

Sprinkling the seeds of irritation, praying that eventually it sprouts.

And 'I' understood.

I don't know who he is or what he is.

He just wants to kill him.

... that's the remedy for him. I felt like I was doing it right.
