The first story: Memories of a Far Day

- It's like getting into my heart, I thought it was a voice.

Fate, what a thing truly exists.

Now she in front of me thought with a frightened head that it was.

When I saw the flower, when I saw the night view, I was not particularly impressed, but when I saw the woman, I thought she was beautiful for the first time.

'I love you. So...'

I recall.

About the first time I saw her.

About when I met Lucifina Emilior.

kingdom over thirty years ago.

When I was summoned as a brave man, some time later.

I refused to fight as a brave man and was locked in a room.

It was a dark night, like sprinkling ink.

The men who tore through my room and hid my face in my robe came inside.

"... no need for useless braves, etc."

With that one word, the men came to slash the knife in their hands.

Scream, I run away from the men like I roll.

Shout out for help, but no one came to help.

"I don't want to die..."

Crawling and squatting unnecessarily, I sincerely thought so.

I don't lend my ear to begging for my life, and the men come close.

When I saw the knife glowing in the dark, I thought I couldn't help anymore.

- That's it.

So when I heard that voice.

I'm done.

"Back off. I don't know who you are, but I can't miss any more."

Silver eyes that shine a clean light on the sarcastic blonde hair up to her waist.

Tung and pointy, white ears.

The armor that surrounds me shines in the darkness.

The woman said to the men who shouted, "It's not what I planned" and "Who is it?"

"- Knight, Lucifina Emilior"

From then on, it wasn't long.

During the blink, Lucifina pruned the men's consciousness.

And he reached out to me with his butt on, she said.

"Are you all right, brave man"

Feel the glare and slowly open the lid.

The light that plunged through the gaps in the trees was illuminating my face.

Wake up slowly after narrowing your eyes to the glare.

…………

I feel like I was having a bad dream.

I stroke my chest at the sickness of feeling like throwing up.

Breathe deeply and awaken your consciousness.

When I dropped my gaze next to him, Beldia was drooling and sleeping.

"... Munya. Io, there, get in. Hmm, good......"

"What kind of bedtime?"

I smile bitterly and gaze around.

So I realized Elfi wasn't here.

I'm hungry, did I even tell you to look for it in rice?

Quiet out of the sleeping bag and go wash your face towards the water.

With boundaries around you, you have little to worry about being attacked by demons.

…………

Even now that my consciousness has awakened, I still don't feel good about it.

I feel like I've been having nightmares a lot lately.

When I wake up, I can't wipe the feeling of drooling and disgust.

First, wash your face with cold water and reset your mood.

Through the gaps in the trees, we head to the fountain we found yesterday.

This spring has beautiful water and is very cold.

I want to do something about this chest wickedness early on.

That's what I thought, and it even came close to the fountain.

There are signs of people. Apparently, there's Elfi.

Speaking up, I approach the fountain.

"Morning, Elle."

The words ahead, they didn't come out.

Elfi was, indeed, there.

However, naked.

――――

He seemed to be in the water bath, not wearing his usual dress.

Elphi's limb enters Moro's sight.

The wet silver hair was bracketed with strings, reflecting the sunlight and sparkling.

――――

Elfi looked at me with a frightened face.

Look at that look and return it to me.

If this guy's naked, he's been shown it many times before.

There is no need to panic now.

This guy himself is not shy at all.

"Morning."

It was when I called out and tried to go wash my face as it was.

"Ya......"

Elfi raised a strange voice.

"Huh?"

Distracted, he turns his gaze toward Elfi.

Elfi blushed and hid Ba and his body with his hands.

... what?

"Mi... I'll see...!

Elfi stares at me as I hide my body.

"Huh!? Oh, stop. What, you said you weren't ashamed!?"

"I said I'm not ashamed because I'm physically fit!! I've already got my whole body back!?"

"So what is it, its values are uhh!!"

It's got to be your body.

"... ugh"

Elphi blushes to her ears and stares with her moist eyes.

It was when I couldn't stand that gaze and turned away from Elfi's limbs.

"... your husband. Iori...?

I woke up. Beldia came.

………………………

Beldia stops moving perfectly, looks at us and tilts her neck.

After letting us come and go for a while,

"... sorry. Return......"

With that said, Beldia turned her back on us and left.

"Hey Beldia!! Hey wait a minute!! This is different!!"

And there was a stifling from the morning.

After I cut through that place somehow.

We had breakfast, set a destination and left the woods.

"It was certainly the Oldrin Forest we were headed to, wasn't it?

"Oh."

Nodding at Elfi's inquiry.

Moving east from the kingdom, a large mountain is spreading.

Beyond the mountain, there is a great forest.

That's the Aldrin Forest.

Living in the Aldrin Great Forest is mainly subracial.

The vast majority of the subpeople who do not belong to the Union or to other countries live in this forest.

The Great Forest of Aldrin was formerly the territory of the Kingdom, but is now autonomous for the subpeoples.

For this reason, it is called the "Autonomous Region of the Asians”.

And there's a void labyrinth floating over the Aldrin Forest.

We decided to head to the Oldrin Forest for a moment to get to the void labyrinth.

"... are we seeing the path over here?

"Oh. Keep moving in the direction of the Patriarchate."

Right now, we're in Demon King's Land.

If you try to make it to the Great Forest of Aldrin at the shortest distance, you have to pass near the Castle of the Demon King.

As far as passing through dangerous areas is concerned, it is surer to pass through the Patriarchate even in the distance.

"The Great Forest... I've fought with warriors in the Great Forest several times before, but I've never been there directly. Has Io been there?

"Oh. Thirty years ago, about twice."

The first time I went through it was thirty years ago when I moved from kingdom to church.

The second time he returned from the Patriarchate, attacking the void labyrinth as it was.

It wasn't very welcoming at first, but I remember being thanked by many subpeople for crusading the void labyrinth.

"Is it still okay for humans to go now?

"At least, I don't think you'll be attacked. Looks like we're getting more involved with humans than we did thirty years ago. He's working with countries outside the kingdom to deal with the Demon King's army."

"Hmm. Is it the same in every race that unites when we have a common enemy"

Nevertheless, I do not know if it will allow individuals to enter.

We need to think about excuses to get in there.

"Just naturally, the relationship between the subhuman and the demon tribe sucks. Elfi, Beldia. Both of you, hide your identity."

During my journey, I gathered information about each labyrinth.

But the information on the void labyrinth is still insufficient.

Challenging the labyrinth with thirty years old knowledge is too dangerous.

At the very least, I want to gather information about the void labyrinth in the Aldrin Forest.

"... I'm also concerned about the movement of the Demon King's Army. I'm sure we're working on it."

"Right."

To protect the Labyrinth, the Demon King's Army should also have measures in place.

Perhaps there will be an opponent from the Four Ten Kings class out there.

In a situation where Orteguia does not appear on the table, it is hard to imagine that “rain” will come out that would be summing up the Demon King's army today.

If so, it will come either “distorted” or Lucifina.

"I can't help thinking about it now, though. If you go to the Great Forest, you will gather information about your enemies first."

"Nevertheless," Elfi continued.

"Is this the last labyrinth left? Now, I don't know if I'm going to crusade all the labyrinths. It's a strange fate for me."

"The former Demon King is destroying the base of the Demon King's Army."

So I was curious and asked Elfi.

"Speaking of which, what was the hang-up where the labyrinth was born?

To accommodate other races, I only have information about the strongholds the Demon King Army has been building for a long time...

"The first one was made in a time when God and God were fighting."

That's what Elfi told me about the labyrinth.

In summary, this is what happens.

A long time ago, the Holy Light God Melt and the Fallen Light God Hardia were fighting.

Apparently, the First Demon King was instructed by Hardia to let his men monitor human trends and create a stronghold for an immediate attack.

And at the behest of the first demon king, it was the four demons known as “Dead Heaven” who created the labyrinth.

The Dead Swamp Labyrinth is “Rain” Surfis Gregoria.

Abominable Labyrinth is “Thunder” Zank Rising.

The void labyrinth is “Yin” Hilde Garda.

Randolph Randall “Yang” the Nara Labyrinth and the Purgatory Labyrinth.

Apparently, they each created the now Fifth General Labyrinth.

Using this five-general labyrinth, Hardia seemed to be monitoring Melt and his subordination trends.

This seems to be the beginning of the Fifth General's Labyrinth, which is still passed down to the Demon King's Army.

"For this reason, it is said that while Death Heaven was building the Labyrinth, the First Generation created the Demon King's Castle with their own magic"

"Heh. You're just the first demon king, and you have a big scale to do it"

"Uh-huh. And the current system called Demon King is the first generation of mind magic."

Shortly before his death, the First Demon King mastered elephant magic under the strong will to 'protect the Demon Nation'.

It seems that the elephant witchcraft gives the body of the "One Who Deserves to Protect the Demon Nation" the ability to float the "Demon King's Crest" and manipulate demons and the labyrinth of the Fifth General.

"So you're saying that mindset magic continues to live even after the death of the first demon king?

"Oh. It means the will of the first generation was so strong by then. Besides, the first generation is also known as the most powerful demon king of all time. Only God could beat the first generation."

God, yeah.

Melt and Hardia are not here right now.

I guess it was just God and he was pretty strong.

"Anyway, Hardia wanted to talk to Melt once."

"Hmm? Why not?

"No.... I wonder why you chose me to be a brave man"

We flew through the sky with that kind of interaction.

We arrived in the Oldrin Great Forest three days after that.
