Over The Infinite

Episode 8: Demon

-1 -

The way through the gate was in the deep woods.

There was no gate when I looked behind me, and Sargess emerged following me from a space of nothing. This gate seems to be a one-way street like it was during the trial.

"... What is this place?

"Located in a forest close to the northern border of the kingdom. As a territory, the Nezea Border Berg Territory. You don't have a name in the woods."

Mr. Glenn, who was through the gate earlier, explained to me.

I have no idea if they only explain the place names.

"It is also the territory where the front line with Lardin is unfolding. It's a one-day carriage ride from here. The city is a garrison."

I guess I moved away to keep it confidential. The transfer gate. Super technology is better kept a secret.

Finding out won't sway the superiority of the labyrinth city, but it's sure to be a hassle.

"By the way, the front line is the Great Plains north of that garrison. Shortly after the war, they invaded the city until it was occupied, but now they're pushing it back deeper than the original frontline."

You mean a favorable situation in the kingdom. Although it is natural given the scale.

Things are different because we have different assignments again, but even though it's officially a form of sending reinforcements from the labyrinth city, they don't show up much.

"And that's where the legs carry us."

I looked around and there was a carriage a little open just around the corner.

From there, the path continues as if it had enlarged the beast path. Probably follow this path out of the woods.

The carriage is not the kind of poor minister I rode when I came to the labyrinth city, but the kind of luxury that even royalty seems to be riding. Horses are super big.

"Oh, big, horse,"

Mr. Carrot is tapping his horse. Horses are grown up, but they look a little wussy.

You, you're a carrot, you're gonna get eaten.

"Stop it. depressing."

The horse talked.

I know it's not a rare sight for a labyrinth city, but don't freak out when they actually talk like this all of a sudden. It doesn't mean everything talks.

"Oh, I talked."

"Even horses talk. Are you a racist or something?

"Excuse me, I did. Sorry, Horse."

"Nice."

"Carrots, do you want some?

"All right, good heart. Let's have it."

Where did you take it from, Mr. Carrot was giving the horse the carrot. To put it in writing, it's hard to understand.

It was such an odd dimension playing out in front of me, but for now, I don't care about horses or toddler elves.

"Troop splitting and doing in that city?

"Oh, the Labyrinth Alliance must be setting up headquarters ahead of time. The Knights of the Kingdom are mostly garrisoned there."

We'll go there and we'll split the troops after the rendezvous. Even so, they're going to act ostensibly, basically, as this member does.

Troop leader is Mr. Glenn. The members are Philos, Carrot, Vivian, Sarjes, and me. Mr. Tomato is no longer present at this time. I guess I flew near King Lardin Capital.

Gowen seems to be coming later, too, so maybe he'll join us here.

By the way, Moya doesn't participate. I asked the remaining members to prioritize you because they didn't have a role. This one's close to volunteering.

"Blah, blah, blah, what do you say, this"

If you think it's someone because they pulled their sleeves from the bottom, it's Mr. Carrot. The eye part wears a weird design mask of carrots. To be honest, it's lame.

"... what the hell is that"

"Masked Carrot, Yes, Pippi"

"Oh well..."

As always, Mr. Carrot decides to pose weird with a voice without discouragement.

I wonder if this is even weirdly influenced by Mr. Tomato. of the special photography system.

Is Mr. Carrot willing to spend the entire expedition wearing this mask? I don't think there's a problem if it's good in person.

And the other one. Even though it was a suit until I dived the gate, I have boomerang pants and long boots, and a mysterious man wearing a 'naked' lettering mask on his forehead.

No, it's Sargess.

"What's wrong with you, Sargess?"

"No, I'm Masked Warrior Largess"

"Right..."

Apparently, that's the setting. Mr. Carrot and I are in a gutsy pose.

... We just met, but we're close, you guys.

"... Mr. Glenn, are those good?

"There won't be a problem. It's not like there's an obstacle to our mission."

The self-proclaimed common sense man of Ark Sabre is a long time ago.

"Ugh... I was surprised. I thought it was someone."

It was Philos, who finally went through the gate and showed a glimpse of the sight in front of him, but this degree seems acceptable around calming down quickly.

You're pretty poisoned, too.

"What kind of disguise does Tsuna have?

"I don't like it, it's such an embarrassment"

"How about a leader who also acts on a full-body rope named after him?"

"Level too high"

I'm not going to get that high. By and large, how do you hide the area with just the rope?

As for Tsuna and Philos, he borrowed armor from Riharito.

"What?"

Sure, we used to talk about that. But even though I dared to go through with it, Mr. Glenn seems to have acted on his own. I didn't ask for it.

"Me, too?

"Oh, sometimes different shades of armor would be good. I also have armor available in black and red tones this time. We're going to a meeting, so you look better together."

I guess it also makes sense to look good given the external ones. Even if the mask and mask are accompanied.

Phyllos and Glenn look good in whatever they wear because they are good. When I'm armed with a black system, they say I'm a demon or something. Even at the < wrestlers > game I attended on a whim, I didn't act like a heel, but I treated him like a heel. I can't solve it.

"Conference...... I knew I was leaving too?

"You're studying. You can just stand there without saying anything. Of course, if you want to say something, you can say it."

There's nothing I'd like to say at an army meeting.

... Is this work too? This expedition has a strong study connotation. It's your job to study together.

"Does that mean those guys too?

Before I turned my gaze, the two masks were playing weird poses. Subtly, the horses are also among them. Why are you so close?

"... there will be no problem getting out, but I wonder if they are basically waiting. It's dangerous in a different way than Riharito."

That sounds like a tight meeting place. It is certainly dangerous to involve a guy who suddenly "purges" it's not weird.

... Then it's me and Philos, and Mr. Glenn, who meet with the Knights of the Basic Kingdom? Maybe I'm in the wrong place, so I'll pull in like Katsuyamako.

"The armor is in the carriage, so let's change inside as we move"

So we start moving. A few hours from here is a carriage journey.

The horse pulling the carriage is a talking horse, and he can run without you, but for some reason Sargess, willing to cross the race, is going to do your thing.

It is only uncomfortable for a masked wrestler to sit on your podium, but he has experienced it many times during his long wandering life, which is certainly the case.

The carriage is huge, so I don't have a problem getting dressed. There was plenty of room for the three of us to change at the same time.

Mr. Carrot is a girl, but she's a toddler as she looks, and he doesn't seem interested in changing men's clothes. Masked warriors are more exposed than we are wearing inner clothes.

Other than me, I'm used to heavy metal armor, so I'm done dressing in no time, and I can manage to wear the armor with both hands. There is no problem. I don't have a problem......

"Why am I the only one with full body armor?

Two other people besides me are heavy armor, but to some extent they have a spare configuration between the parts. He also has a face, which is not very different from his usual combat gear.

But what was prepared for me was a disastrous full-body armor covered in bitches and metal from top to bottom. It is the same kind of armor that Mr. Riharito wore, without any skin or inner exposure.

Honestly, no one will even notice it's me looking at this.

"Actually, I'd like you to become an intimidator against the Knights of the Kingdom."

"I didn't hear that."

"... it's a good thing in the world. Forgive me."

You don't believe me when I'm told with such a sad face.

He's a convict around cutting out after he starts moving. It's time for you to explain to me what's common sense about this guy.

"Blah, blah, blah, I think this, this armor, looks good,"

Mr. Carrot...... says Masked Carrot.

I don't care what your taste tells me... and I'm only a few percent exposed myself. And don't beat Pessi Pessi. You were pissed off by a horse earlier.

"Isn't that just good armor?

"Yes."

Affirmative shit. Follow me there at all.

"So why is Philos a normal armor?"

Sure, it's a dark color scheme armor I've never seen before, but it seems much easier to move than this armor. He's got a face.

"No, I owe you my armor, too."

"Philos also means face-to-face. I need to keep my face on. It's not integrated, but we've got a helmet."

Damn, I can't hide my tears in unfair manipulation. I know what you're talking about.

"What, I'm not asking you to do anything in particular. It's intimidating enough to just stand there like that, reminiscent of Riharito. It would be surface for the Knights of the Kingdom"

Is this outfit replacing Mr. Riharito?... What did he do to the kingdom?

"I wish I could, but it would be helpful if the attendees of the kingdom told me what they were kidding about, so that they could release the killer at the right time."

"I don't know how to kill, but is it okay to intimidate the strong?

"Yeah, it should be enough to just stare at the will to kill, but it would be nice to have the Intimidation of the Strong. The other person's heart will stop too."

You can't stop the heart. What would you do if you were Grandpa? You're going to die.

... I have no choice, do I try my best as a killer practice? I think I'll be able to use it in the future.

"Philos."

"What?

I'll try and imitate the killer, but Philos is tilting his neck because he can't feel it. That's hard.

"Oh, practice flying killer.... I don't know."

"That's close to MP manipulation as a feeling. Instead of flying magic, you fly the signs."

Mr. Glenn gives me some advice, but I'm not yet getting an MP manipulation and it's very hard to understand.

"If you don't get it, it's still Intimidation of the Strong. The less powerful Intimidation is easier to use in situations like this, but it's getting sublime, isn't it?

"It was before I checked my skills. I don't really feel it, but yes."

They possess the prerequisite skills, and that translates into stronger skills is called skill upgrading. Intimidation turns into Intimidation of the Strong is an example of this.

I didn't mean to do that to myself, and I didn't know you had Intimidation in the first place, but it looks like one day your skills were rewritten in a Minotaur fight.

Incidentally, Mr. Rihalito's use of "Dragon King's Hegemony" was further elevated from "Intimidation of the Strong," but I can't remember because this is a Dragon Species or Dragon Man specific skill.

... I can't remember, but I'm scared because it's possible that I've already mastered monster skills.

"I don't want to play the intimidating role, but wouldn't a pseudonym be better, assuming that's the role?

Rope...... then something else because it's too unbalanced with the outfit. The internet... you think?

"Right... Okay, so during this expedition, Tsubaki-kun will be named 'Demon'. The two names are also worthy of their disastrous armor.... Shall I change my voice anyway? Even before you go into the city, let's try to hang up" disguised "sorcery."

Eh.

Something's gone wrong.

The carriage moves on as it leaves itself to such a poorly understood development. Maybe he's out about 5 or 60 km/h.

It's slower than an automobile, but as a carriage, it should be breaking speed. I guess that means that the horse giant is not Dada. This is such an evil road, but if you hadn't pulled your luggage, you might be faster than Salabred.

And I was watching the view flowing from the slit of my helmet so I could escape reality.

I tried on a helmet with severely restricted vision, and I could see why labyrinth city adventurers didn't wear many helmets. This is how I actually experience it and think that it is still troublesome to have a narrow vision. It's hard to move. It's about the adventurers of the prominent labyrinth city, so I thought it might be the reason they don't look prominent or look bad because their faces hide, but that's not all. My vision is too narrow.

Being blinded in battle is deadly. If you are an outside person with no HP walls, head, face protection is a must, but the difference is more pronounced because adventurers have it in front of them. There's nothing meaningless about me or Sargess fighting in HP0, but the downside would still prevail. Like Sargess, the mask position is limited at best.

Since all body armor itself, including Mr. Riharito, is found in labyrinth cities, there is no demand or benefit.

But it didn't feel right for me. It's heavy, it's hard to move, it's hot, it's hard to breathe, it's narrow vision. I'm tired of the noise that rings every time it moves. It seems that this is still mitigated by magic, but how real is it?

And why am I wearing a full gear to my helmet when I'm in the carriage?

"Well, wearing armor is hard in the way you say it is. Anyway, if you're just going to run, you need dedicated training to fight. Not if you have a horse, but in that case, the skills required are different."

According to Philos, who originally had the opportunity to wear armor, only advanced knights who fight with horses can wear these full body armors in the Knights of the Kingdom.

I hear Philos has worn it too, but it's usually partial armor just for ceremonial and other ceremonial occasions. Still, it is a heavy mount.

"Unlike the average knight, Kingsguard has always worked with full body armor, and I think those people are really amazing"

"I hear this has a lighter magic hanging on it, but the real thing is heavier, right? Can you walk?

"I can walk. I know you can tell by wearing it, but the weight is dispersed all over your body, so it's not as good as it feels. Running too... if you just want to run... I have some training to run in armor, but it was hard after all. More breathable than weight."

That's terrible. That's half torture.

"Every summer there's a memorial service in the king's capital, right? I'll definitely be wearing it then, but even if it's hot and you're just standing there, you can die for real. Keep touching the metal and you'll burn."

A natural sauna is not a level.

They also burn people inside if they stay put, so they wear a dedicated inner inside, a cape outside to prevent direct sunlight. Did that cloak mean practical rather than decorative?

"Just imagining it sounds hot."

"The guy with good procedures runs away well, but the lower end doesn't either"

"That hand thing was definitely tight. I brought it in from my parents' house, and it was always cooling down."

I felt something uncomfortable with Mr. Glenn's words. You don't have to do that if you're full body armor in a labyrinth city...

"You're an artist who can because Captain Glenn's house is wealthy. I've heard of people like that in the Knights of the Kingdom."

"Hey, isn't Mr. Glenn from a labyrinth city?

"Don't you know?... Speaking of which, you're not so big on it. There are not many born before the summons of the Dungeon Master and many from the Labyrinth City, rather than me. Hermia is a little different, but in < Arc Saber >, me, the sword blade, Dhaka and Riharito are from outside the labyrinth city."

There would not have been a system of dungeon offense before Dunmouth was summoned, naturally?

In the first place, was the infinite corridor there before that?

"You're from the Knights of the Ligaritian Empire, by the way, me and Laurent. I'm a little different from the kingdom, but I was a senior knight once."

"... so why is Mr. Laurent's name?

"Not really on the table, but he and I are brothers. Years away, and different mothers."

It is an unexpected connection. Were you half-brothers?

If you ask me that, it's similar... it's not. The image is quite different in Laurent, a beautiful young man with thin lines, and Glenn, with a disappointingly American body and face. The color of the hair is different.

"They say they don't look alike. It's just that when the other guy and brothers get in between, they'll see just how they look in stages."

The two are not alike, but the person in the middle is alike to both?

"Is that person an adventurer, too?

"No, my father died and rubbed it a little during the governor's inheritance. My brothers and I didn't develop into a killer, so we left the house to him and me and Laurent came to the labyrinth city. Now I think you're right here. Though they belong to separate clans, they are both in a good position to say that they have grown up, and I don't want to return to the noble life of a tough empire anymore"

Well, I don't have the luxury of a nobleman, and I can have a better life than that. Definitely a hit.

The guy's probably... he's getting old, unlike the two of us. I guess that's the norm.

"Didn't Captain Glenn intend to work with Mr. Laurent? You're here with me, aren't you?

Sure, if that's how you came to the labyrinth city, it's not weird to be putting it together. They're both strong. The position also meshes.

"Like a little unfriendly or something?

"Ha, he doesn't seem to like me, but he's not a bad friend. It's just that I'm going to try to compete with my brothers during my debut.... As you know, I've been smoking in the middle of nowhere for a long time, and he's made a big leap."

I'm guessing that's what you've been saying since the inception of the Meteor Knights until you stopped at the 75th floor.

This is how he now works as a clan master for < Arc Saber >, but before that he was just a middle-class master. Mr. Glenn is not the only one who can tell other clan masters.

I thought you said middle-class clans were active enough. At the time, the Meteor Knights were more heterogeneous in pursuing their attack at a level that would not allow them to follow.

"If he asks which one is more talented as an adventurer, naturally he will be more overwhelmingly talented"

"It's..."

"No, I'm not pessimistic about anything. This is how you're in the top of the line right now. However, even in his current position, he does all the roles that the five of us do alone. He's amazing."

I can't imagine from that look I saw with the oak noodles, but Mr. Laurent is certainly in that position.

Although he lurked a shadow for a time by the leap of < Arc Sabre >, he has now even survived that adversity and devoured it.

If they'd asked which one would break through the 100 first, there would have been a large number of people who would have said < Arc Sabre > until six months ago.

And now it's not strange which one of us is attacking. Undoubtedly, as an individual, he is the top adventurer in the labyrinth city.

"So, how about actually wearing Rihalito's armor? I think it's sized."

"It sucks. It doesn't suit me. May I take it off?

"I'm not saying absolutely, but I want that after the plenary session. They chose tough armor on purpose."

Am I an intimidating figurine?

"Oh, that sounds good. It would be helpful if you were constantly trying to kill me."

It's not murder. I'm just unhappy with this unfair treatment.

"... you're not gonna tell me to fight like this, are you?

"I won't tell you. Mostly, you have Instant Costumes, so you can always get dressed. So it would be helpful if you were dressed like that during normal times"

That's right...... I mean, basically, you're supposed to be dressed like this all the time?

"That armor isn't just for combat, it's just for design. It's for intimidation with the big axe and set I just gave you. If it's a battle, you can switch."

I've already thrown it into the Item Box, but I've even been given a two-handed axe for intimidation.

It is an axe with a ghost face named < Axe on the face >, but this is in a vicious shape to see again. But it's a very unbalanced weapon that just sturdy and under-performing.

This seems to be one of Mr. Riharito's collections, and he's decided to ask Mr. Riharito if he wants a design-oriented arm. Even when it comes to design focus, it naturally has a good disease-like appearance.

"Besides, I don't think we're basically going to fight."

"... even though it's war?

"I know, but our goal is to gather and capture information on the mysterious brave 'Roctre' who showed up on the battlefield. The basics will be waiting."

I don't even want to be on the front line. That helps, but don't feel bad for some other adventurer. The reward is more than double.

"If you want to move your body, you might as well mock it against your Knights of the Kingdom opponent"

"I'm weaker than you were before I came to Labyrinth City, so you know I'm not gonna deal with you."

According to stories I've heard before, Philos was the strongest Knights when he was part of the Knights of the Kingdom.

I mean, even if I hang up now, I won't be dealing with him. I would literally be able to do it without a double.

"There, see, stress relief or something.... I don't know who you are, and it would be nice if you didn't die."

"Then you do that. I'll lend you this armor."

"I have a position problem. [M] But I think they'd better not say it once, but look into their painful eyes a few times, yeah."

How much I hate the Knights.

All right, shall I leave that to Mr. Gowen, who will come later?... I wonder why he's late. This schedule has been set for quite some time, but I don't know why only one person is late.

"Nothing, you can go to the front line if you're free. It wouldn't be funny though because it would just be ravaging. Just tell them the schedule before you go."

"... I forbid it"

Until a while ago, I admired TUEE and everything, but I don't want to go out of my way to do it when I'm in a position to actually do it.

Whatever it means, it will be just a task, so there won't be any refreshment. Zero damage, an action game that ends with an A-button hit is just boring.

Of course, if a pretty girl tells me to cackle, I'll do my best, but it will be fear, not praise or envy glances from my allies, waiting after those fights. If I don't do it well enough, I'll treat it like a monster. The strength of too different standards is something that is not subject to admiration.

... We are good because we have a lot of our kind, but I wonder how the brave people treat us. I guess there's some reason to fight that you're still on the battlefield, but I don't think you've been treated like a hero.

-3-

And the carriage arrives in the city. It's a city other than the labyrinth city I haven't visited in a long time.

When the carriage entered the city, it was caught up in the interrogation, but Mr. Glenn handled it. Mostly because of the outfit of your Lord.

"You're a suspicious guy, something you don't say and slap me with a whip. I've been left outside the city when I was wandering... unfortunately."

You should do that when you're alone. It would help if our share were pissed off.

When I woke up Mr. Carrot, who was asleep at some point, and went outside, I felt I had touched a unique air different from that of a labyrinth city.

It's the same occlusive, old-fashioned, precipitated air as Wang Du. You feel remarkable because you've been away for a while, the feeling of this hand is not pleasant.

I could tell from the outside, but even if I tried to get inside, the city was small. Compared to the Wang capital, it is far smaller and feels like a local city. Overall, it's a dirty, unpleasant image. Also, because it is also used as a front-line base, tingling air is transmitted.

But I don't see any vagabonds. I mean, I can hardly even see the city's inhabitants.

"Are you evacuating to the next city?"

"Most of it looks like you evacuated the city after you reclaimed it. All that's left now are people in the facilities used by the military, and some of them with some reason."

Mr. Glenn answered Phyllos' question, who apparently had the same question.

I think it's hard for ordinary people to travel between cities, but I guess it's harder to stay in a city that was occupied for a time.

"But that's awesome. That armor. I feel frightened at the sight I feel."

"... Ursai"

The voice that returns to Philos is an ominous voice that echoes from the bottom of the earth. It is an unhumane voice on the level that nothing is forced to sound like human language.

... Well, it's my voice "disguised" by Mr. Glenn's magic. No matter how much you threaten me, you don't have to make me sound like this. If you suck, they won't think you're human, this.

But I guess it's not just my influence that nobody comes close.

Mr. Glenn and Philos are decent outfits for something somewhat harsh, but in addition to that, they're me, the masked pants, and the masked toddler. It is too suspicious a line.

Masked pants and masked toddlers are grand for nothing, but I can't be the only one freaking out. Let's reopen this place and stretch our chests. The status is "disguised" anyway.

The building that the Labyrinth Guild is creating a temporary branch was quickly found.

The building itself stands out because it uses a large liquor store, and most importantly, there are many residents of labyrinth cities and thoughtful people around.

Normally, when going on an expedition, they refrain from flashy gear and match it with things outside as much as possible, but this time it means that formal reinforcements are not weighing everyone down. This is the only place in the MMO-RPG world. I can't figure out that we're the most prominent of them all.

"I'm sorry, Glenn and four others from Ark Sabre, I need you to take over."

"Yes... Yes"

The girl in charge of the reception hardened when she saw us.

Besides, it's our manager, Mr. Kukriel, for some reason. Why are you here? I didn't ask.

"Uh, may I ask your name... or is that mask, Mr. Sarjes?"

"No, I'm Masked Warrior Largess"

"Yes, yes, you use a pseudonym. I'll sign you up."

Occupational pattern Are you used to these guys, Kukuru's reaction was cold.

But our Sargess seems excited about that cold reaction. My breath is rough.

"Mr. Glenn, Mr. Philos, Mr. Sarjes, the rewritten masked warrior Largers and..."

"Masked, Carrot,"

"Mr. Vivian is with Masked Carrot... then you are... no way"

It's my turn at last. I can't even deceive you because it's already a registered incoming report.

"Ar, Watanabetunades"

"... what are you playing with, Watanabe?"

"Orenoseijanainoni......"

The manager's reaction is cold.

"I'm sorry, he's asking me here to dress up like this. … please use 'daemon' for registration name"

"So, is it a daemon...... ok"

I knew you would use that name.

... Wait a minute. If you take it off, you'll find out that Daemon-Watanabe Tsunami is registered under that name.

When I saw Mr. Glenn in his narrow sight, he was considered a nigger. If you didn't want to find out, you told me to stay like this... damn, you weighed it.

Thank you. We seem to be the last to take office, and Kukuru seems to be moving up to Labyrinth City with this. Gowen is the only one who's late, but that's already been passed on, and he's fine with our onboarding report.

That's why Kukuru is free, and he will finally show you around the quarters.

The number of rooms in the dormitory is high because it originally uses a huge tavern and lodging room. About a quarter of the participating members will be sleeping in this building. Also, while the other participants are in the same room, we seem to be assigned a private room.

"I have sterilization treatment on top of cleaning, but I think it's hard to say it's comfortable because it's original. I'm sorry, but please be patient here."

I know you're about to be happy with your private room treatment, but when you look at the poor minister's room, you're half happy too. The rooms guided were splendid by outside standards, but of low grade as those accustomed to the comfort of a labyrinth city.

Well, I lived in a stable until six months ago, so it's an extraordinary difference compared to that. I guess it's better just to say there aren't any bugs.

"Pella, pella, it's"

What Mr. Carrot is saying is about the futon. The duvet has little stuffing and is close to the cloth as it is.

"Historical information says Mr. Vivian has a lot of track record of participating in expeditions, but not everywhere like this?

"Short-term request, just, sleeping bag, used,. And masked carrots,"

"Oh, excuse me. Mr. Masked Carrot."

"Um, good."

Is there that much restraint?

"As with regular expeditions, please refrain from using labyrinth urban products, especially magic items, as much as possible. Avoid human eyes even when using them."

That was in the expedition manual I got in advance.

I guess it's to keep the information from the outside world. Formal reinforcements seem to loosen the rules considerably, but there are still many such decisions.

"Can I use a sleeping bag, as Comrade Masked Carrot says"

"Sir…, there is no particular problem if it is the personal belongings of the masked warrior Mr. Larges, but please lock and use it whenever possible"

Do you lock your room in a room and sleep in a sleeping bag? It's a surreal picture. I guess I should have had it too.

-4-

Well, he's early on in office, but it sounds like a quick meeting.

That said, this time it seems to be about the degree of face-to-face meeting of the parties involved, and it does not seem to be the place to decide on a detailed operation.

I thought it would be nice to have such a long time here at the forefront, but with the exception of the example "Loctore," the Royal Army is enough. Speaking of reinforcements, maybe the labyrinth city doesn't turn up much.

There are two representatives from the labyrinth city. One is Mr. Glenn, and me and Philos will accompany him. And the other delegate was someone I didn't know.

"Were you the representative this time?"

"Yeah, I doubt why it's me when there's an Ark Sabre captain, but is that what this is all about?

That's what I'm talking about.

Standing in front of us is a man with long black hair and a Japanese appearance with a machete in his face. If Mr. Sword Blade is a wanderer, this one looks like a clean samurai. It would have been perfect if you had tied the magpie, not the longue.

Preliminary information from Kukuru indicates that he is the clanmaster of the clan, which is also at the top of the Labyrinth City. His name is Night Light. This time, he's in charge of the captain of the Labyrinth City Expeditionary Force.

The Expeditionary Force itself is not that large, but it is a representative of a labyrinth city with about one squadron. For once, we will be integrated into his chain of command before the building.

Mr. Night Light is a good young man who dresses like a samurai and is unique, but is easily impressed. There is also a sense of cleanliness, and the frigid odor seen by Mr. Sword Blade dressed in the same samurai-style outfit is not even dusty.

I just wonder what... I feel terribly uncomfortable watching this guy. It entails such a dangerous atmosphere that even though it seems calm in appearance and in the way it speaks, the smell of blood is likely to drift just face-to-face.

... I guess he's not who he seems to be.

"Would it have been better if the sword blade had come, not me, if you were the representative?

"Please don't. So if I name the delegate, they're gonna beat me up from behind."

He seems to have been a sub-master of the self-proclaimed clan < KENJIN > for which Mr. Sword Blade had previously served as the clan master.

In founding Ark Sabre, another clan appeared to have become independent. I don't know why I didn't get into < Arc Sabre >, but as far as this exchange goes, it probably doesn't mean we had a fight breakup.

"It's time for you to pull the sword blade off the top of your personal rankings. I don't even feel very good about an old man saying he's the strongest or anything."

"That would be Mr. Glenn's personal emotion. Plus, there's another one up there, so we need to get Riggles out of here first."

"I don't care if you pull down the sword blade, but you're after it, too, right?

"Naturally. I'm not going to be in this position forever."

"That's the intention. Get rid of the rotor."

I don't know the details, but I'm guessing it's about the ranking of the Labyrinth City.

Even lower rankings exist for each adventurer and party, but are subdivided further into intermediate ranks. Individual battle rankings are one of its subdivided rankings. It doesn't matter, but the ranking of the puzzle games Tilia plays is also part of this for some reason.

Mr. Rottle Sword Blade doesn't call himself the strongest individual fighter on his own. There's a dedicated ranking, and that's what they call it because they're number one there.

And I'm guessing this Mr. Night Light means that someone named Ligures is second in line. Speaking of which, if it's just a name, I've seen it. I've never seen him before, but Mr. Riggles must belong to the Meteor Knights.

I'm in the rankings for once, and as an intermediate and established adventurer, I'm in a pretty high position, but there's still a huge number of people up there.

It seems easy to be reflected in the rankings if you compete in individual matches played in the arena, so you might want to try to compete.

By the way, the cat ear ranking has already been removed. I heard he was a lower ranker when we met, but his rankings are close to the bottom.

"By the way, the two of you behind me don't see a face...... look, are you a newbie to < Arc Sabre >?

"You're better off with your face. I'm a rookie in my unit and I'm called Philos. The other one's in for a little bit of a special situation, Demon."

"So, Demon?

Um, is that an introduction to the labyrinth city side, too?

In the meantime, I'll just shake hands without making a voice. If you go through with a character that can't talk like Gowen, it's fine.

... and I will see this guy again somewhere. If we're going up there, we're on our way. If you want to introduce yourself, you can do it then.

I also finished greeting the people who followed Mr. Night Light and finally headed to the headquarters of the Royal Army.

"Mm, it's not good for me to go in first. Night light, you're the representative, so go ahead."

"Uh, yes.... That's hard."

Though I can't help it because I'm in a peculiar position, it's obviously in character. I know how you feel.

Entering the building used for the headquarters of the Royal Army conveys a tingling air as to whether it should be war specific. Warm air to the last minute seems to be a lie.

When the guide's knight saw Philos' face, he gave him a slightly giddy look, but something didn't happen separately and he was passed into the conference room.

What bothers me is that you were more responsive when you saw me than when you saw Philos. Are you that scared, even though you haven't been willing to kill me yet?

There was already a client in the conference room that was put through. Kingdom nobility because of its outfit. Probably someone with superior authority on this front line as well.

Thick, but muscular, with countless fine scratches within sight of the face, neck, etc. The style is more military than aristocratic. If you were a simulated RPG, you'd be a very strong but hardly growing type of person from the beginning.

"Welcome to the Royal Army Front Line Command.... It's still you, Noskol."

Noscoll?

Mr. Glenn is ahead of him.... Is Noscoll about Mr. Glenn?

"This is the Nezea Border Bob...... No, I suppose you should call him Secretary of State. If you're the representative, you talk fast."

"I didn't mind when I found your name on the roster, but it's a little better than the worst.... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not listening."

I'm the one at the end of that gaze.

I looked back unexpectedly, but there's nobody behind me. Philos, who seems familiar, is next door... oh, no way is this about me?

"No, don't worry, it's not a rehab. It's all right." He's "never gonna get violent."

"Ho, I guess it's true. If he or the castle falls, Noon will abandon this front and run away."

"It's okay. Because I'm not in either of them this time. I don't care if the front-line commander runs away."

Who is it, castle drop? What have you done?

"Besides, this rep is this night light, not me. I'm like an observer, so I don't give a basic mouthpiece."

"Really... Oh, Nocturnal, is that you? You can rest assured. Thank you very much."

"Yes, sir"

That's a terrible difference in attitude. He's confused, too.

This is... not a big bracket called Labyrinth City, but < Arc Sabre >.

"No, I'm really begging you. With all these Noscol opponents, the kingdom is doomed sooner or later."

"Sir, I would also like to correct that mistake, but before that, I abandoned the name of Noscoll, so I ask you to just call me Glenn. Neither will you want to create unwanted certainty with the Empire."

That's when Mr. Glenn saw Chillari and me.

... er, seriously. I don't know.

Don't put too much effort into it and stare at the Nezea Border Uncle to create the right pressure. You won't be able to see my eyes angularly, but the intimidation should be conveyed.

- I'm gonna kill you, smash you, strain you down, chop you up into pieces that don't fasten the prototype... like this?

"Hih! 's, nos... No, Lord Glenn, you're not talking!!"

It seemed to convey well, and the strong side of the Nezea border uncle distorted into fear. I feel terribly guilty.

"... what is it about? Although no one has rammed or broken things."

"Okay. Ok!! Correct. You are not wrong. Stop intimidating me for nothing."

Unlock the intimidation according to that word, but what you're doing is a yakuza. It's no different than blackmail. Seriously, poor quality.

Or even though Uncle Nesair didn't do anything in particular... Mr. Nocturnal is looking at me with a frightened face.... because I didn't want to do it either.

"You seem to understand. More importantly. You're the one who asked for help in the first place, so I'd like you to come out a little poorly."

"Non, I'm going to be pretty bad."

I'm so sorry. I, honestly, want to go home now.

"By the way, is there any other participant on the kingdom side?"

"I don't want it. It's pointless for you guys to escort them, and you take the minutes, right? I'll pass it on to the guys downstairs. You're too young to let them have the experience."

"On your left."

Apparently, this neighborhood uncle is someone who knows his power ties to the labyrinth city. Not only does that mean a negative thing, but I guess I expect to do nothing unjust if I don't do something bad.

After developing a blackmail play that only seemed totally futile, the meeting began.

Basically, me and Philos are just standing around. If there were any other attendees, there would have been a role for Philos, but he doesn't know Borderline Uncle. Then this intimidating role could have been Philos, right?

Mr. Glenn doesn't speak, and basically only Mr. Night Light and Uncle Borderline go on to talk. You're used to both, the exchange is smooth. We understand each other's standing, so we don't have bad towing or look-alike tension

Well, I do learn because there are many things I don't know without experiencing this kind of place. It would be more crowded and rubbed in the usual setting, but it's a good salt plum for the introductory part.

... etc., and I was thinking peeking into the meeting from the slit of my helmet. If you're just gazing, you won't find out if you're kidding. The full face, which they thought was useless, also made sense.

What you decide is a big mess. Apparently the main purpose of this meeting is to clarify the division of the Royal Army, the division of the Knights of the Kingdom among them, and the division of the Labyrinth City.

We can beat the Royal Army on its own, like the example 'Roctre' on the other side. That's a common understanding of each other. I don't think I'm wrong either.

Essentially, the Royal Army is dominated by labyrinth city needy, and this time it seems prudent to request reinforcements from the labyrinth city to be in Wang Du.

"I don't know what it's like to have people come all the way out here and say this, but there are a lot of people out there who don't need a hand because they can win without the army of a labyrinth city. Especially in young soldiers."

"As far as the war situation goes, I agree with that here. I think it's true."

You seem cautious so as not to damage your mood, but if you say the opinion of Uncle Nesair, it means' keep him company '.

If it's a regular army, go out of your way to call it in and make it big, what an opinion would call a ripple. Big problem.

But as for the labyrinth city side, it would only be nice to have the fact that we sent out an outward reinforcement. Nor do we want to raise martial arts, so this is in agreement between the interests of both sides.

"I'm barking at assholes who don't know much about labyrinth cities. I stopped him."

"Like Baron Rosesta, Uncle Borderline often attends negotiating venues. I know."

Both assholes......

I don't know a nobleman named Baron Rosesta, but I'm guessing this guy also eats a poke up from people who don't know anything about labyrinth cities. Oh, my God.

"I don't mind adultery, but some of our guys have a lot of blood, so can I have those guys mixed up somewhere?"

"Honestly, I have a problem with soldiers who can't keep their feet in line."

I agree with that opinion. People in labyrinth cities have a lot of strong ac people. I usually participate as a mercenary, and it would be difficult to operate alongside military personnel.

... But Uncle Borderline, why are you looking at this one? I'm the type to fit around.

"Especially if you can specify the expected front lines for heavy fighting. I hope you can relax later and take control of the place. Isn't that easy?

"... let's think about placement around troops bound by superficial martial arts"

The point is, if you can tell me how strong the base is, I'll take down the enemies there, so just take control.

The martial arts of base control belong to that unit. A commander who wants to have fun is likely to jump. It would be an easy opinion if we were to think of each other's interests.

"Then the only problem is the brave ones in the example, right?

"Oh, there's nothing he can do about it. I'd love to hear it, but I'm not the guy who belongs in the labyrinth city, am I? You know, you're hired over there by some mistake..."

"All adventurers out of labyrinth cities on expeditions are grasped, so that's not it. He's unregistered in the first place."

"... are you guys capable of dealing with this? It's hard to believe it's actually relative."

"From what I've analyzed from the information I've brought back, there's no way to estimate it to be greater than me. There's insurance, and there's no problem."

"I hope so... Noscol... does the fact that Lord Glenn came out mean he was considered a threat equal to castle dropping? Hardly a disaster."

Right. I still don't know who dropped the castle, but it's better to take it as a threat. It's someone with a lot of unknown parts. Never get too cautious.

The meeting ends there peacefully. Uncle Borderline was a discerning person, so seriously, the first intimidation was futile.

Mr. Glenn wants to talk to Uncle Borderline personally, so he stays on the spot, and the two of us will go back to the dormitory first. Anything, it seems that Uncle Borderline had asked Mr. Glenn for beauty related products, including the jewels of rejuvenation.

I haven't said the price, but even within the labyrinth city, the jewel of youth is a high value there. Purchasing outside of GP is quite a hurdle. When people outside get that, it will be a considerable expense. Is the financial strength around there just something like Borderline Uncle?

"But not a year after I used it before, does my wife want to be even younger? Or does Uncle Borderline have that hobby?

"Uh, no, I'm not. The third concubine forced me to do this. Totally, luxuriously."

I'm saying that, but Uncle Borderline's face is stingy.

I'm sure the delusions that ravage the youthful flesh are past your head. I get it. And the third concubine... I hope she dies.

"Though I don't think I can get it out inside, but I also have an energizer, so please contact me when using it."

"No, Glenn, you're too big for this kind of thing, so it helps. There aren't many people who can be my contact."

"Night light doesn't accommodate that either. … As you wave at me, the experience seems to be alive that Elmia is about to cut me a little"

"... stop talking about it. I still dream about it."

Uncle Neighborhood, you're in a lot of trouble.

-5-

"Hey, coming out of an officer's quarters has made the slum-up poor a lot better."

I also broke up with Mr. Night Light and was accidentally called from behind when he talked about going back to his quarters or even a stroll.

He must be from the Knights of the Kingdom by mouth. It's a disgusting tone. Is it true that Philos was seen and called out to blow the cause?

I thought you might encounter it, but it's faster than I expected.... That's a hassle to deal with.

Looking back, it's a refreshing good young man standing there. People don't look like they can tell you what a fool he is.

"Jail......"

Apparently, this guy is called Jail.

Well... I don't seem to want to deal with them either, so let's just get rid of them with the same guidelines.

"You're better at imitating things. It's just like Lydin's disgusting tone."

"When you were here, it was a scattered dialogue....... oh! What is that armor?"

"Uh... Demon, he's my friend, so you don't have to intimidate him. It's just an imitation."

Was it? You did something wrong. I stared at him with the intention of killing him.

From what we've talked about, is this the only guy in the Knights that Philos ever talked about?

"... I'm sorry, Jail"

"Oh, hey, that's him. I thought I'd lose my hips...... your current colleague or something?

"Uh, I'm a friend of the Labyrinth City. I'm dressed like this for a reason now, but I'm usually a lighter nori."

"Is it true..."

"Souda, Me, Good Guy"

"I guess I shouldn't judge you by the looks of it, but I don't think so very much."

Well, that's converted into a bug-sounding voice.

"But how did you know I was here? You weren't in the building where the meeting was held."

"There's only a soldier or a few companion Kingsguards allowed in there. There have been rumors of reinforcements coming from labyrinth cities for a long time. If you look at the public roster, you'll have your name."

Roster...... Is that even published below the ranks of the Royal Army martial officers? After all, does that mean my name will be recognised by daemons on the kingdom side?

"You'll be busy as soon as you're in office, but when you calm down, I'm here to ask you out for a drink... and you can't. Do you want a mock fight?"

"You really like mock warfare. Isn't that a meal or something?

Whatever the meal is, I think you should stop mocking. You're a few times stronger than Philos was when you met me. No, dozens of times?

"What, is it also a rule that labyrinth cities shouldn't be mocked? Even if I look like this, I've grown stronger in the last six months."

"There are no rules like that... well, okay. Just now I'm free, so somewhere... was there a square in the quarters?

"Attana."

"So shall we do it there? WHEN... you want to try the daemon? Jail was number two when I was here."

Well, I'm a little interested in that.

The second one means at least it can compete with Philos just before he came to the labyrinth city. Exactly. It won't be a battle now, but it will be to the extent of an indicator that measures the strength of those outside.

"From now on... I don't mind. Er... does he hitch, or is he about as strong as Philos?

Apparently, among Mr. Jail, Phyllos...... that was also Phyllos before he came to the labyrinth city treating him as the finest strongman.

... I see you can read Philos' soul guts. So let's play with this misunderstanding. What a terrible guy.

"Ha, you can't be"

"Oh, right. How much are you dressed like that doesn't mean you're gobbling up... then it could be a good fight with me"

"You're stronger than me.... I was torn apart all my bones in one shot before this"

"Soudana"

I'm not lying. I don't know what it was like then, but I actually had the feeling of tearing my bones apart.

"... just kidding. Ya, I figured I'd stop... yeah, meals, there's a good restaurant in this city. We can use the military tickets, so I'll treat you."

"So shall we do that after a mock fight? Let's go, Demon."

"Tanosimida"

"Oh dude, you were such a guy!? Wait, I don't like falling apart!!"

Return to the quarters trying to pull Mr. Jail out of dislike. What we are doing is mostly abduction.

I know Philos wouldn't do this when we met, but a lot has happened in the last six months. Must have a lot of impact around Yuki.

It's basically a story I shook from you, so give it up. Don't worry, I won't tear it apart.

Square prepared for the courtyard of the quarters. It's a little narrow for us to do a mock fight, but the opponent is the opponent and there won't be a problem. There are no other users just fine.

"Well, which way do we start?

"Um, I don't think I can do a tour."

"What are you talking about? Jail's definite. Didn't you come here to deepen your old relationship?

"Nara, Olegaya Row"

I raised my name to hunt down the frightened Mr. Jail. He is already pale in face.

As I appeal before him, I wave both hand axes borrowed with armor and sets for this one. Then I'll shake the boom already.

"Hey, wait a minute! What's with the axe like that thing? Where did you take it from?"

Then I put it out of the Item Box in Instant Costume.

The design is tough and tight, but there is no big deal in terms of performance, so don't worry.

The viciousness manifests itself in size, albeit in design. Axes like columns, slightly smaller than one day's < Minotaur Axe >, are swinging like wooden bars. If you're an average person, you must learn to fear just by feeling the wind that has caused you.

"Hey, Philos, if you hit that, you're really gonna fall apart, what am I gonna do?"

"I think you should avoid it. It's okay, because if you don't hit it, you won't die."

"If you hit it, you'll die!?"

"... isn't Jail okay because he's sturdy?

It's a terrible word for a friend. If you can avoid it, you won't have a hard time.

"And because his specialty weapon is not an axe. I don't think you're good at it."

"Saw, Handeda"

"Oh, you're swinging a bum like that?

"When you only use an axe... if you're dealing with a demon, I think I can handle it."

"Soudana"

"Are you serious...?

No, I guess I can't actually win with an axe. I don't have dedicated action skills either. I can use Weapon Blake for heavy weapon moves, but it won't be a decision.

"Why am I suddenly standing in such a dead place..."

Jail, who lays down his sword relative to me, has trembled all over his body and has not even determined the position of his sword.

The brake doesn't look like the phantom sword technique the lizard old man uses when he gets serious, but it can't be. I'm just shaking.

Thereafter, the disconnect resonated many times in the squares of the unusually used quarters.

It was the first time I swung an axe down Jail's side to freak him out and crack the ground, but then it's normal. Basically, we were passive and trained only to attack Jail, who almost abandoned himself.

It hung on my giant axe, which moves faster than a single-handed sword slaughter, escaping reality, but it took shape to some extent if I got used to it. I guess this is the one called number two strength.

"Labyrinth City Koeh, Wow Koeh...... I'm not hostile if I'm wrong."

Mr. Jail was in a quagmire. Even when I come to the dining room, I keep saying scary things like rumors.

As a matter of course, both Philos and I relieved ourselves, and when it came to injuries, we took the axe with our swords to the point where we had a twist in our arms, but it still seemed shocking.

Would you have understood now? Labyrinth cities are a scary place. I'm not the only one scared.

"I was mostly anticipating it, but I guess this is it. I can see how I've grown."

"Soudana. (Yi) Guideline II Natta"

Philos says it was as expected, but the truth is I was unexpected.

To be clear, the strength of the Knights of the Kingdom is no big deal. Weak compared to me now, not me, before I went to Labyrinth City.

Maybe Jail is number two and now number one, but based on that, the majority of the Knights won't be able to break through the trial. The offense is going to need time on an annual basis.

"Damn it, I knew it was you? You guys can be pretty strong in a labyrinth city? I was at a meeting... and I was expecting a rookie ace."

"Ha, that's a funny joke"

"Sorry, I don't know which way to look at it."

I don't think Philos or I are strong in the Labyrinth City. Even if that happens one day, it's a good place to be now.

Mostly, I was just waving my weapon earlier without skill or magic. I can't even try to gauge the strength of a labyrinth city with that.

"That's stronger than when we were in the Knights, but I guess we're a critical line to join this expedition."

"... no way all the guys in this cafeteria are stronger than you guys?

Naturally it's a labyrinth city quarters, but if you look around, there are adventurers everywhere.

Since the lowest line of eligibility for this expedition is intermediate adventurers, strength will basically only be up there as a rank anyway. The people who went intermediate in sync must be struggling in the thirty-one layers of the infinite corridor by now.

"I can't say it all because each has a role, but I don't think anyone is extremely vulnerable. For example, the woman who eats there, staring at the books, is not a clerk, but far stronger than us."

"... what's going on?"

Philos is talking about a receptionist staring at a bunch of paperwork in the corner of the dining room. I'm pretty sure he's stronger than us because he's about to kick a bunch of intermediate adventurers in an AC fight.

Looking at the books. The sight of it is harsh, but was there also a problem?

"Philos and I have been made a big difference... I wonder if I could get stronger if I were in a labyrinth city too..."

"In your case, unlike me, you have a position, don't you? There will be a way to become a Kingsguard, and isn't the second son of the Count's family something to son-in-law into some grand nobleman in the first place?

"Uh, even when I say Count, we're a little special. There will be no one in the faction who wants to move on and connect with blood."

You're the one who talks a lot to the Count family. It's easier than Philos.

"It's almost certain that my brother will succeed the housekeeper, and we can't create a new division in the present situation. I guess I'll just have to go into some son-in-law, considering our problems."

"Oh... speaking of which, you had that rumor. Is it that bad?

"That's terrible. What's worse is worse than rumors"

Does my parents have any major problems? Count, there are likely to be many houses that want to have blood ties.

It may not have much to do with aristocratic marriages, but it's a good face, and it's easy to talk to. It would be sarcastic and hot.

"Nanica problem demo arnoca?

"If you were in King's Landing, you may have heard rumors, but his father's hobbies."

"Wait a minute.... what is that... is Mr. Demon from Wang Du?

Mr. Demon...

"Younger Dakara, Honorably Hailanaizo"

"And younger? No way, are you on the same level as Philos?

"It's below me. It's been six months since we met, but is it sixteen now?

"Mada, fifteen years old, da"

If it's a labyrinth city calendar, it's February, so we're still ahead of us.... You have a long birthday. About five more times. Maybe just now.

"Fifteen...... come on?

I've never been seen for my age, so I guess the majority of this reaction is due to armor.

"Why don't you take off your helmet? You can't even eat."

"Here it is, one duto de-genainda"

I've tried a few times since, but the hardware is in a weird place and I can't reach it. When I wore it, I didn't notice because Mr. Glenn and Philos helped me.

"You can use Instant Costume."

"A, Souka"

I completely forgot because I don't really switch gear types. Mr. Glenn said it, too.

The very existence of the daemon has not yet penetrated, so undressing it here would have less impact.

I got armored in "Instant Costume," and when I wore it everyday, Jail's face even attracted me.

"Duh, how did you... no, not now... you don't look fifteen, but you look surprisingly normal.... or you were human."

Rude.

"Nice to meet you, so is it good? Watanabe. His name is Tuna."

"Different voices... aren't they daemons?

"Forget it. It would help if you thought I was someone else."

That is the mysterious Armored Warrior Demon, not the Watanabe Line.

I used to think it could be uniforms, suits or other work clothes, or cosplay, but I think it was affected by the same tension changes in clothing.

In fact, the feeling I felt was that the tension, on the other hand, might even have affected my personality.

Sarjes and the carrots... maybe Yuki, who was dressed as a maid, is the same. That would say something about your husband. Cosplay is great.

"So, what's the problem with Jail's house?

"Oh, that was the story... I don't really want to say much, but my father is a famous male."

"Count Grodell of Okama is a very famous man."

"Oh, really..."

Uh, that's a name you've heard so much about. Didn't the guy buy a new whore recently? Specifically at the end of May.

"I knew that was the reaction. Even among the nobles, that vice is famous, and some of them have been harmed. So distant.... I've grown up a little bit lately and won't be able to get my hands on nobles, but I'll still get my hands on civilians. Poor quality because there's no way they can turn it against you."

"Well, you're a man and you have a son."

"It's not like I'm adopted. They're both just good-looking. He prefers men."

He's got a kid, but he's got his hands on a guy. I don't know.

"... hmm? When I look at it like this, I think I've seen Tuna's face, not Demon... Have you ever seen him anywhere?

"Oh, because I lived in Wangdu, sometimes it rubs off, doesn't it?

I'm not the brother of a whore your father bought you.

"The tavern where you worked is by the slam, so nobles don't seem to come near you."

Mr. Philos, you don't have to say anything.

"You have a good face... oh, here comes the rice. We're hungry, so let's eat fast."

"Tsuna, are you deluding me?

I'm not deluding you.

Then tongue drums over a labyrinth city meal watching Jail react. Jail is with number one because we can't eat in this quarters without guidance from someone in the labyrinth city.

The dishes that come out are extremely simple: bread, soup and fried fish in a salad. Again, the content and quality are less than eating within a labyrinth city, but this is the front line and it would be something like this.

"What is this extravagant meal... hey, are you welcome because I belong to the Royal Army?

Still, he was stunned by Jail's tongue.

"... if you look around, you'll see, we're all eating the same thing"

"Is this normal... even the water is delicious.... the water leaving our quarters is a little cloudy... and the glass is transparent."

I don't know if it's magic or magic props, but I don't care about water. In the case of labyrinth cities, it's not strange to bring it on purpose rather than local filtered water.

And the cup... outside, it's made of wood, ceramics, and even luxury goods, so the transparent glass stuff would be stunning.... maybe I don't know about the glass.

"Yabe, what is this? It's so delicious.... I'm going to be having dinner in my quarters tomorrow, but I was wondering if I could come over and eat."

"You'd better not."

"Why, after all, is it you or is it expensive? I don't have any cash, so I'll give you as much as I want on the military ticket. Whatever..."

"It's not like that because this place is free... it means you won't be able to go back to your life."

Mr. Philos is surprisingly ruthless. But I think you're right. I don't want to drink cloudy water, either.

The next day, Jail said he was about to cry over the smell while eating wheat porridge in his quarters.

-6-

That night. There was nothing to do, so I watched the stars and the night view on the rooftops of the quarters.

Buildings taller than this quarters are only about the hall of lords, so you can see the city roughly even if it's not at a glance. Still, the landscape isn't very good.

Unlike the Labyrinth City building, where the height of the giant is also taken into account, this building becomes smaller naturally because of its human size. It would be difficult to build a high-rise building outside architecturally in the first place.

There are also few lights in life. A peek around the buildings used by the Royal Army is mostly dark. It's not like there's something about it that sounds like a attraction, and it's not going to be a tourist destination.

The night sky you see in the countryside looks good with stars, unlike the city, what you said in your previous life, but the labyrinth city is not air polluted so there is no big difference. The presence or absence of artificial light.

"Were you here?"

I felt someone came out on the roof, but he was our manager. Looking back, there was a familiar lowering and glasses appearance.

"Were you still there? Didn't I tell you I was going home after work or something?

"The last flight leaves around twelve o'clock, so I'll take it home. I thought I'd say hello before I leave."

Do you want to leave the carriage in the middle of the night? I guess there's also a purpose to cover up the transfer gate, but that's out of common sense.

"If you're leaving late at night, it would be helpful if you could stick with the story. Free time."

"... the Expeditionary Force is now meeting with each unit?

"You know what I mean. We're out of bounds."

"On your left."

I guess I knew. Hearing my answer doesn't upset Kukuru.

Isn't it a coincidence that you're here to confirm my suspicious behavior? I think I told Yuki or something.

By the way, our troop leader, Mr. Glenn, is drinking with Uncle Borderline. They can cure you with magic even if you're drunk, so it seems okay to have an emergency. That guy's not serious at all.

"I'm not going to be forced to ask because it's about Watanabe himself, but I'm a manager, albeit tentatively, so I'd appreciate it if you could rely on me for a little while."

"I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I'm counting on you."

"... are you willing to do something dangerous?

"Uh, does that look... no, you're not in danger. This one is close to studying. In fact, it doesn't matter if I'm not here."

I think I made some mistake.

If you look at the flow so far from a Kukuru perspective, it is certainly not suspicious. What you're doing is like a travel version of a course you're doing in your guild.

"Was it? I thought you were being forced to do dangerous work."

"None"

I'm sure he could die, but that's the same for every other expedition participant.

I'm not even on the front line, I'm even holding back Mr. Glenn and the Dungeon Master behind me. Rather, the risk of death would be low. Even the brave ones in the example are suspicious of whether it will be a fight or not.

"Didn't you want me to go to meetings with the Royal Army or let you go through those experiences? Later, meet someone like Mr. Night Light."

I didn't see him face to face.

"Are you Mr. Night Light from Moon Hua? Speaking of which, you were the representative of this one."

"After all, as an official, do you have information about people like that?

"That's natural. Instead, it's weirder not to know if you're a top ranker like Mr. Night Light. If you're not someone like Watanabe who ranks up at super speed, no one even adventurers will know. Even ordinary people usually know."

You have very little information about the top adventurers, even if it's out there. Only people I've actually met and real supernatants know. Even the clan barely remembers the ranks below < Arch Sabre > and < Meteor Knights >.

I know I'm not studying, but things are shifting too fast and I'm really behind. Skills and tactical information related to your abilities are a priority.

I have free time, so I can't say it back if you ask me not to spend that time collecting information.

... life needs moisture. Now porn books and tissues packed in bulk in the Item Box are also its moisture.

"In the case of Watanabe and the others, the speed of ranking up is fast. I don't think I have a choice. However, we also need horizontal connections between clans, so we will need that information in the future. Next time, I'll put it together so you can use it to study."

"Right.... Good luck."

I just didn't get my hands on it because I haven't had a chance before, which doesn't mean I don't particularly like studying.

You're going to be a clan rep, and you can't help it. Ignorant representatives would also be poorly dressed.

"What kind of person is Mr. Nocturnal Light, for example, when it's information I'm getting involved with most recently? I got the information, but I can't grasp it."

"Right... Mr. Night Light is very famous as a raw combat freak"

"What?"

That guy? It looked serious, and it wasn't like that at all.

"The two names are not Dada. Especially when you love to kill people, and some people run away when they match him in the arena. As an Alliance, it's a precautionary step ahead."

"Are you serious..."

Are you saying that the smell of blood I felt when I met you was no mistake? I wonder if he's the kind of guy who gets leopard when he goes into battle.

"I mean, you're a similar type to Watanabe"

"Hey, Cora."

"Pfft. But a lot of people feel that way, and it's certainly not a mistake. Both Watanabe and < Samurai > classes have been acquired, so prepare his videos as a whole. There's a difference in combat style, but I think it'll help."

I've had videos prepared several times before, but both the Auga and Wyburn measures were accurate.

I don't know, I don't even have eyes on all the videos out there, but our manager is just competent.

"By the way, what kind of fight are you?

"You're pretty tricky about the way you fight that you're good at. I keep watching melee combat with a knife, but it's the type of debuff caused by a spell and a state anomaly that brings jitters and opponents into long-term combat while sharpening their fighting power. True or false is unknown, but the legend is that you are not incapable of finishing it in a short time, but are stretching it to chop it long."

"Oh, you're someone I don't really want to deal with"

It's really bad tach. Don't die, if it's a zero break, does it chop up well so that your HP doesn't go to zero?

"Meanwhile, you don't rate party combat as much. The overall rank is not very high, and < Yuehua > is also said to be quasi-first-tier as a clan."

"You mean a personal battle specialist?

"Right. I think you're very active because it's only a top notch rating, but compared to Riggles from the Knights of Meteors, it's really hard to rate it in terms of overall strength."

I wonder what he thinks.

Even when it comes to personal combat specialization, we really need to go ahead of the infinite corridor in order to be strong, and in order to do so, we need to have overall strength as a party and a clan.

Is there any rush to have the < Meteor Knights > on the front line to which Mr. Ligres will be compared?

"If Mr. Watanabe is serious about going up there, that's one of the walls we definitely need to cross along the way. There will come a day when we can compare."

"I guess..."

Not that I'm hostile, but it's good to have hurdles to go beyond. There are a lot of goals up there, but even if you worry about how to go beyond them, you won't have any trouble with them.

"Does Mr. Watanabe have an ultimate goal? Is it Mr. Dhadaka when it comes to close combat style?

"Dammus."

"So, are you a dungeon master... this has come out big"

If you're a normal adventurer, you're going for the top of your current class. If I meant for the moment, I'd be like Kukuru said, Mr. Dhadaka, if Yuki... is it around Mr. Sword Blade?

But it's been told from the time of the trial that it should not be the ultimate goal. If you know that your goal is high, big, and even something you can't see is there, you should go for it.

"I can't even see my feet yet, but I need to catch up. That's what they want."

"... I knew you met frequently, but have you ever fought a Dungeon Master in a moment?

With this reaction, I guess Dammus still has a low combat record. I know it's a lot if it's informal, but it's not on the record any more than it's not on the table.

Mr. Dhadaka said we've met before, but that's a bonus of some kind.

"... it's not a battle. I just confronted him normally and fainted, and he just torso apart with a body blow."

"I have no idea what's going on... do I?"

I let him hit me once, but that wouldn't be a fight.

However, if you're going to set it as a close goal, anyway, if you're going to set it as a final goal, there's no more than that guy at the moment. At least if you only look at combat capability, that means more than 100 layers of strength in the infinite corridor.

If you clear one at a time, you'll see your feet one day. It's an endless road, but you'll get there someday. Anyway, we have plenty of time for a limited life.

"I was told earlier by Gwal, the lizard old man... I've heard it from various other people."

"... are we talking about a goal?

"That's right. Adventurers in Labyrinth Cities... Especially those from Adventurer Schools who underestimate their goals."

"... that's a really painful story"

Kukuru is already giving up his adventurers and taking another path, but I guess there's still something to think about.

"It's something that you don't see too much when you're inside, but that's something that's been said in various places, and it's also becoming a theory as an adventurer's review for magazines and other things. I also remembered that story when I heard Senior Dilk was going into Watanabe's clan, but now I know why Senior was looking at the other students with terribly cold eyes."

That's where I was arguing with Ladine, so I guess he had something to think about, too. Apart from Serafina, there won't be many guys at school or junior adventurers who can stick with him.

"Personally, I think it would be a good idea to target < Ark Sabre > or < Meteor Knights >. … but the goal is to dwarf over time by overlapping my strengths."

"You mean you're going to fold into your strengths?

"That's right. … Recently, when I dined with members who had previously partied with me, what they were targeting was to go up to intermediate ranks within a year. That's not a realistic line as an adventurer, but... they said their goal was to go intermediate within a year of their debut."

He said the same thing a year later. Right. Like taking an exam, I don't know if I only get a chance of promotion once a year.

"In fact, it is difficult, even if it is not impossible to go up to intermediate in a year from the debut. Because it's difficult, you can't achieve that goal without doing something different.... but it doesn't mean you did something special, does it? They were doing what very ordinary adventurers would do. Then you can't reach your goal."

So, on the contrary, when you tailor your goals to yourself.

"From the outside, I think there might have been something I could do.... No, it actually happened. But they didn't. I probably didn't even notice. I'm sure I would have acted the same way if I had been in that.... No, that's worse. Whatever, I've been repeating my strategy to the tenth tier with glue."

"Are you saying this is the first time you've figured it out since you left?

"... right. In the end, we have a narrow view. I can only see it close by. Mr. Gwal is right."

Seeing an old man and < War Arms > is a lot more serious. Maybe I'm the destination of a normal adventurer.

"So I think Watanabe and the others are amazing. I feel like I'm going to do something about the goal I just mentioned."

"That's too much to buy"

I can't honestly take that as a compliment right now. That impression should be influenced by the example gift. It's not just my own impression, it's something twisted somewhere.

"Is it?... look at that rookie fight... that's not all. Many of you have revised your goals upwards by looking at you so far. … who wanted to go further"

"It's really fateful. Convenient events overlap."

"The fastest continuous record update is timing, and coincidence is a big part of it, but it's Watanabe himself who did it, so we should be proud of that."

I thought it was a sarcastically stained word myself, but it was unexpected, but extremely obvious, to return from a kukukuru who knew nothing.

…………

"... what's up?

... I think they said something very important.

'It doesn't matter. You're the one who's actually fighting. You're the one who's suffering. "

One day, I felt the words Philos told me overlapped.

"... oh yeah. I'm sorry, I was wrong. I can't believe I didn't have any influence at all."

"That's right. You're our leader, so stick to your chest."

"Ha, I got it."

I was noticed from a casual, completely irrelevant story.

I'm the one with the narrower field of view. It's important, but I didn't fully understand what Philos wanted to tell me at that time.

I don't deny the fact that I'm actually fighting because I'm the one who suffered and I'm the one who got the results.

I'm definitely the one who fought crazy to death, so what if I can't be proud of that standing in front of you as the leader of everyone?

"So shall we push the shortest distance towards that goal? Manager, make a plan when you get back to the Labyrinth City, as we aim for the fastest record of the establishment of the clan."

Now they don't just flush it. Let's go run the rail from ourselves.

It would be on the same rail, for example, but the target would be unexpected if he walked 300 kilometers at a cruise speed of 100 kilometers.

"That's good. It's getting a little fun. … but please complete this expedition properly and safely."

"It's... isn't it okay?

None of the elements of anything happening so far. It's not even on the front line, and there could even be a pattern of ending without doing anything like this. It's about time to play with Jail at best.

"I don't know. Event incidence is different around Watanabe. I'm going to be convinced that the dragons are coming from nothing to do with it."

In my case, it doesn't get sprinkled, so don't flag me weird, manager.
