Sevens

In a room surrounded by automatons, I was told two things.

[Come to me if you want to know everything]

[Trust Nowem]

These two.

But there's something that bothered me.

"You said the eighth message. What does eighth mean?"

Monica, who supports me, said the same thing to my chestless sister, who is a homozygous machine.

"That's right. Explain it properly. As the chicken bastards can see!

"... you, are you trying to tell me that I'm an idiot?

Then Monica smiled.

"It's okay. This Monica will serve the chicken bastard to the end."

What do you care, even a fool obeys to the end, etc. It's frustrating, but now I can't afford it, so I turn my gaze back on Monica's sister.

She was wearing the same hair, face, and maid clothes as Monica.

Monica's sister...

"- As a flirt with your husband as such. It's a challenge and a challenge for us."

(Oh, no. This guy is crazy with Monica too)

There was something wrong with Monica's sister, too, to the point where she thought it was normal to have a broken head. Seeing Monica with a winning face, the mass-produced automatons, whose surrounding damage is noticeable, also have a remorseful look.

"Hey, why does it have that feature? Are you sure it's an automaton?

Monica's sister tells me it's getting silly.

"What do you say? It's only a made-up if everything is done. We put up the butler type overthrow and got up ~ ~ ~... Oh, can't we do this too? I didn't know we could talk about the country and the past. I'm dissatisfied, so I wanted to smash you here."

Monica's sister's inability to talk about the past made her feel disappointed that she could not say the country name.

"Once upon a time, when speaking of perverts, the name of that country was mentioned, I can't believe it even took a mouthful... I'm sure the developers will be thrilled"

The ancient man who created the automaton has seemed like a hell of a pervert. At the same time, I remember Damien I met in Aramsarth.

(There were so many of those guys, and automatons like Monica were born? Or what a sensibility to rejoice in. After all, I don't understand.)

Thinking about it, Monica's sister corrects her posture and answers the earlier question.

"Well, that was a question about the eighth. Based on the content of the message, I personally determine that I need an explanation. So let me explain from here. As far as I can talk, though. Go ahead."

Monica's sister says, "Come on over," and the relatively undamaged automatons bring a table and chair right in front of me.

I'm going to suggest you sit down, so I sat down too.

Monica's sister comes to apologize.

"I would otherwise like to prepare tea or tea treats, but forgive me for not having the ingredients. Ha, if you know what I mean, I said I gave you the utmost hospitality... so, with regard to the eighth, there are different ways to call it"

I was lazy with all the pain in my body, and I felt the weight of my eyelids. But if I don't listen here, I don't understand the situation at all.

Monica's sister explains.

"Starting from scratch, to the nines. One of the ten beings. That's the eighth... [Octo] that pushed the message on us."

I heard Octo, and I thought.

(Peridot, August Birthstone, and Eighth? Were you deliberately preparing jewels? To let us know? What's the point?

The answer is easy.

(I wanted to let one of us know. Don't let Nowem be the only one who applies)

As Nowem looks at the gem, he remembers saying something and doing so.

(Trust Nowem...... what do you mean?

"These are abominable traitors. He is the enemy of mankind who betrayed men."

Heard of a traitor, the fifth generation exhales from the treasure balls.

'Ha, you have no idea. I mean, one of the traitors is telling you to believe Nowem? Suspicious. "

The fourth generation, as troubled.

"No, because Nowem is a good girl. Because she's a sweet good girl. If it weren't for Nowem, there wouldn't be Lyell right now... '

Yes, without Nowem, it would be unlikely that I would be here right now. I owe it to Nowem to live as an adventurer.

I ask Monica's sister about Octo.

Monica was taking the water bottle out of her skirt beside me and pouring tea into the cup.

When I give it to you before me, you have a proud look around you.

(Why are you selling fights to your sisters?

I thought this guy was an idiot too, and when I saw Monica's sister, I almost regretted it.

"Hey, keep talking. And why would Octo give me a message like that?

Monica's sister had a slightly more difficult look.

"... there is too little information to convey, but simply put, it would be Okto's self-satisfaction"

"Self satisfied?

When I wonder, Monica's sister keeps explaining.

"Then I tell you this is important... Octo himself is not in this labyrinth"

"... aren't you there? Then where am I supposed to go?

Monica's sister tells me.

"You're an unfriendly guy who tells you to come and not where. But I'm kind, so let me tell you something. They say if you challenge the labyrinth over a hundred floors underground, the door will open between the deepest. From there, all the doors follow where Octo is."

When I heard that, I opened my mouth with a poker.

From within the treasure balls, the historical contemporary from the third generation.

It's a pass.

'Right. We don't have much time.'

'Everything, what is it? Be more specific. Ceres or how to defeat Septem!

'Still, it can't be a hundred floors underground or anything.' Cause this time I didn't have any ties. '

'... Huh! Aren't you going to tell the Lyells who broke through the 100 basement tiers,' If we could get this far, we could take down Ceres, too ', and so on? He's an unfriendly guy, and he must be twisted!

The ancestors in the treasure ball agreed to the opinion of the seventh generation.

The third generation.

'Sure you are. If we can get that far, even Ceres might be able to take us down. It would be an unreachable realm for mankind.'

There are not so many labyrinths in the basement. Either way, it releases the demon and disappears before it gets that deep.

I mean, that deep means a controlled labyrinth.

Besides, such a labyrinth of underground hundreds of hierarchies… the adventurers reached, as well as the Knights and even numerous heroes. Who isn't alone?

Monica's sister puts her neck up.

"Oh, what's wrong?

I'll take a sigh.

"He tells Mr. Octo. You didn't get along this time, did you? I mean, there's not a hundred stories underground or anybody who's reached it."

Monica, too, as she was frightened.

"You're a really unfriendly bastard. The octopus."

Then Monica's sister did the same shaky trick.

"Built after me, don't you even know that? They're all women. It's a strange story to talk about a woman because there's no man to go against."

I don't care about that. Set aside the information.

(With that said, the hand that came out of the wall belonged to the woman)

I remembered unexpectedly, but decided to cut it off as irrelevant anymore.

A hundred tiers underground.

If you take it seriously, it might arrive. Use your historical contemporary skills, work out and be ready to the fullest...... that's going to take decades, so stop it.

I have one last question.

"Last. What's Nowem got to do with Octo?

Then Monica's sister bowed her head deeply. I guess they're shutting me down.

"I'm sorry. I can't answer that. I just wanted you to guess by name."

I was scared.

(Nowem...... nine? When that happens, you're the last one. Knowing that, I don't know what to do. I understand your connection to Ceres has grown stronger.)

I mean, Octo and Nowem have something to do with it, and it's pretty deep.

That's it, I drank Monica's tea.

Monica's sisters are smiling.

"What's up?

Then Monica's sister, shaking her neck sideways with a smile on her face, turned off the tools on her back and looked at me and wept.

"Oh, hey! That, Monica! What are you doing!

Monica blocks my eyes with her hands stretched out from behind.

"Assuming it's my sisters. Speaking of humans, sisters born of the same mother... you can't let them look terrible. Even on Lord Lyell's orders, I can't give up all this. Please, guess what. And it's not funny to watch."

Then, not moving as my body thinks, I hear the sound of my surroundings with Monica blocking my vision.

The sound of metal collapsing.

Low sounds gradually disappear.

From where the surrounding automatons were, I heard one collapse after another. Even from right in front of me, there is a ragged sound of collapse.

And it's a crying voice.

"… we merely convey Octo's words without any role. But I was able to meet a human at the end. What luck compared to the other sisters. And I'm sorry. I can't give Octo a message. It seems to decay here."

Out of sight, I tell Monica's sister.

"What happened to your husband? Even Monica didn't wake up until I woke her up. You're not here anymore? Then with me..."

You want to come with me? Monica's sister looks happy that the role is over and falling apart.

"Thank you. But my body is already broken. It is impossible to be useful in this body. Our sister...... Monica"

My sister calls Monica's name. Monica was listening without tearing up.

"Something?

"You got a good husband. It's a dream that we didn't achieve to the end. So take our core at the end. Because in you, Normal, there will be limits to serving. The core has our options in it. You can use it. No, use it. That is our wish that we were once unable to serve."

When I stopped hearing voices, I heard a last noise called Gushari.

Monica's been blocking my eyes for a while.

"... that feeling, let me take over with Core"

As usual, it wasn't some strange monica.

- Between the basement eight tier bosses.

So Nowem kept shredding the walls by changing the wand to the shape of a tsuruhashi.

From behind, Miranda and Aria look as if they were frightened.

But Nowem doesn't care about that.

Desperately, he kept scraping walls to rescue Lyell. There's a hole in the wall, and Nowem digs into it even though it's playing.

But the limits were coming for the body.

The pace is dropping and we're not moving forward.

Still, he had a few meters of holes in the wall, so he was definitely hiding a hell of a force.

Tsuruhashi, who thus shook up, was bleeding from his gripping hand. Nowem with his own blood on his clothes stops the tsuruhashi he tried to shake down.

Then a hand came out of the wall.

It belonged to Monica.

He is showing a motion that he explores with his hands, and Nowem holds Monica's hand. Then immediately pull the two of them out of the wall.

When Lyell, held in Monica's one arm, came out, Nowem, who let go of Monica's hand, hugged Lyell.

Monica is thrown out as she is, and she looks back and complains as she decides to pose as she makes a beautiful landing.

"You fox! It's good courage to throw me away! Today is the day I'll show you the power of a true drill!

Monica, equipped with something authentic, intimidates me more than the drills I usually take out on both arms.

But Nowem didn't even reply.

Seeing Lyell fainting, he starts moving from the spot when he smiles. The walls are regenerating and will be taken in again as they are.

"Say something! Ignored, even automatons are hard! Wait!

With the drill equipped, the three jump out of the hole made by Nowem. Only Lyell had passed out.

When I see Lyell, Miranda and Aria rush in, too.

"Lyell!

Miranda approaches, but Nowem sits on the spot holding Lyell in his arms.

A strong hug, and a tear.

Just Aria.

"Hey, hey! Because Lyell's gonna die! If you hug her too hard, Lyell will die!

Though Nowem I didn't think he would do that, I guess he didn't mind Aria seeing him actually wield a wand he had made into a battle or a tsuruhashi.

Miranda just looked down when she saw Nowem crying.

Nowem is.

"Dear Lyell..."

That's what I said, hugging and crying...

- A line where Lyell fainted, after a while, restores calm.

That said, neither Nowem nor Monica tried to leave Lyell's side.

Aria takes out the boat and goes into the water where the ice is gone to collect demon stones and such.

Almost in his underwear, he dives into the water and rips demon stones from the boss's body. By nature, there are more materials that can be recovered.

But the condition of the body was terrible and irrecoverable.

"Pfft!"

From underwater, Aria, who recovered the demon stone and put her face on the surface of the water, confirmed eleven demon stones that were slightly larger to crawl up and hold with one hand when she swimmed near the boat.

It's a demonic stone I took out of the boss, and this would be a fair price. This time, if you look only at the amount, it's a huge success.

But Aria looks at the land Nowems as she wipes her body and hair when she takes a towel.

Lyell said not to be cold, he was on fire.

I woke up from my fainting, Lyell, but this time I'm in a terrible state by way of example. Open your mouth and he says, "I don't want to do anything" or "I want to go home".

(Or worse than before this time)

Aria and Miranda also feel heavy. That would be the same for Nowem.

Nowem, bandaged in his hand, is smiling as he takes care of Lyell's side.

(As for Lyell, I'm pretty sure...)

Even though I thought it was suspicious, Nowem's feelings for Lyell were real. But it's also true that I can't believe it anywhere.

Currently, Miranda was down and scouting as the entrance to the basement nine tiers was opened.

Aria starts bringing oars to bring the boat back to land.

(This sort of thing... it's usually a man's role, right?)

Returning to land complaining, Miranda was coming up the stairs after scouting -.

- Five days later.

Alette was enjoying her vacation on the ground.

On the seventh to eighth floors underground, we really needed to prepare boats and squid.

That's why he ordered what he needed and gave his men time off. Alette, who was making me take alternate vacations and breathe on the ground.

Such an arrette came in with the news that the Ryells had returned a line later than planned.

Then, with the information that he defeated the boss of the eight basement tiers,

In fact, eleven demon stones held by the boss were brought in, and defeating them was no different.

But it's strange that I got eleven.

The boss is in one room. Even if there were more than one, I'd never heard of that number.

Therefore, it was necessary to confirm.

Just at the same time...

"Captain, you're too nibbly."

When cautioned by his own deputy, the knight, Allette purposely coughed and changed her expression.

"Um, I'm sorry about that. But Lyell, when I hear that you're going to be pretty wasted before you grow up, or very hard... aren't you excited?

The deputy was frightened.

In the deputy's hand, a handicraft to Lyell's line is held.

"Remember the purpose of having an intimate relationship with a strong party. I mean, because I was seen in that state, I went to see it too... (That's why I don't have a hand)"

He took the deputy's last grunt with a smile, and Allette smiled at the deputy's body with a fist.

Seeing a suffering deputy makes his expression serious when he discovers where the Lyells are camping.

The deputy, only slightly blue-colored, also stepped into a row of Ryer camps with a serious look.

I stepped in.

"Mahhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Lyell, naked in his upper body, stood with his legs wide open as he spread his hands toward the sun to receive that light all by himself.

Aret.

(Oh, welcome you in high tension soon? This is for later stories...... for stories...... oh, that?

Around Lyell smiling and laughing heavily, the women surrounded Lyell and held the weapon.

The atmosphere is obviously strange.

Only Monica, who is usually on Lyell's side, smiles and seems happy.

"He's back! My chicken bastard is back! Besides, it's great in a situation like walking naked through a minefield all the way and so on... we'll provide you everywhere!!"

But Lyell and Monica are the only ones smiling.

Others stare at each other with weapons.

It would be a mistake to surround Lyell.

During the second-hand split women, it was the form in which Lyell entered.

The lieutenant has a bluer face than earlier.

"Yes, Captain. Instructions."

"… Withdrawal. Retreat!!"

It was Alette trying to escape, but there's a voice there.

More than usual, Lyell, smiling, has spoken to Alette in the pose of embracing herself.

"Oh, isn't that Mr. Alette? Did you go out of your way to see me as beautiful as Hua?

"Heh? Yes, no... Hih!

The women's gaze took a distance from Aret as the deputy gave a blue look as she turned to Aret.

(He ran away!

Lyell looks brighter than usual.

"Is it not? You're shocked. Well, but... now I feel good about signing paperwork about marriage. One person who loves Hua named me is better off!

As if to show a forged body, Lyell looks up to heaven with his arms wide open. Next to that, Monica...

"Chicken bastard, you can't sign anything. Marriage is the cemetery of life."

Lyell then made a spin on the spot before posing.

"Then let's dye the graveyard my color!

Monica was applauding such Lyell.

(WHAT... really, WHAT!!)

Alette regretted coming to tease me.
