I've been screwed since then, and I managed to get out of the association. When I went out into Hetohetto, Phee and Monica were waiting for me.

"Elle, how did it go...?

"I'm tired..."

"Right? The Alchemist of the Empire is pretty friendly. Well, I'll be here all at once. Famous taxes."

"Famous tax or yes... for now, I don't want to do anything anymore today..."

"I'm taking the inn, let's go"

"Ah......"

That's how we head to the inn Fey took. They were looking at Giro and her face along the way, but I'm not supposed to find out because I'm hiding my badge. Well, if they knew my face perfectly, it would be out... but in the dark situation right now, I should be able to handle it with someone else's degree of aerial similarity.

"Elle has a room for one. Me and Monica are in the same room."

"Isn't it cheaper for the three of us together? We can change it now, okay?

"Don't you have a delicacy!! Yeah! Meet me later! Because I'm going to dinner!!

"Oh...... ok"

They pissed me off. After all, I don't seem to understand a woman's heart.

That's how I decided to leave my stuff and wait outside. All I have is a purse.

"You've all gathered. Shall we go then?"

"Where are you going, Mr. Fee?"

"Destination tavern. Let's not make a scene this time, let's use awareness inhibition."

"... okay? Can I use alchemy in the city?

"We have one celebrity. And it's not gonna bother you, it's gonna be okay."

"Really? Okay."

Phee's recommended tavern was right there. The store owner seemed familiar and was led to a discreet seat in the back. I decided to lightly inhibit my perception and leave the order to Fee and Monica.

"So, where is Rafe Allan? Any information?"

"That's... all I know is that I'm in Imperial City right now."

"What's your source?

"Chairman here. It's called Clarice Bade, but he's my age and he's close."

"Is he chairman in this empire in the same year as Phee? You're capable."

"Right. Much more so than I do. So I heard rumors that I was diving into the labyrinth, and they let me know."

"... I see"

"What do you think about listening?

"Right...... that might be good too. But it's going to take a while."

Yeah, talking to the three of us, the door opens cluttered. It was a pair of men and women who came in. But it seems oddly atrophic or surprised around seeing it...... weird.

"Ah... not Clarice"

"Huh? Is that it?

"Yep. Definitely."

Dark-haired shortcut and tall, will have 170cm. Slutty body. The man next to him on the other hand is a man with muscular bones and brown hair pruning. He's taller than me, and his muscles are thicker. I can see how many users they are.

Furthermore, the body can see the smelting formation being dug. People who use melee weapons tend to carve their smelting formations into their bodies. I wish I could use it without a smelting formation, like us, but it's mainstream to carve a smelting formation because there are so many people who don't either.

But there are disadvantages to it. First of all, pain during treatment. Pain is considerable because it engraves the formations until it reaches the nerves. Furthermore, the consumption of magic is intense. From those two points, I don't have much of a user, but this man looks all over his body and is engraved. Come on. You must be an excellent person.

Yeah, when I'm observing the two of you, Phee and Clarice usually start having conversations.

"Oh? Not Fee"

"Long time no see, Clarice. You're back? I went to the association."

"Actually, the demons are activated in the west. He was in a crusade."

"Demons? What kind?

"It's Scorpion. Plus, there was the giant scorpion Hughes Corpion."

"Huh? Was that living in an empire? There should be a lot of deserts and tropical regions..."

"That's the mystery. But people are actually dead, and the damage is enormous. I'm off today, but I'll be back on the west front tomorrow."

"Front line? Is it also a field ward? On that scale?

"There are thousands of them. I've sharpened quite a bit now, but I still don't know. Supply units are now replenishing in Imperial City."

"I can't believe that's happening..."

"What about you two, more than that?

Clarice says so, so me and Monica introduce ourselves.

This is Elweed Willis.

"I'm Monica Dunn. It's an elf."

"Heh... it's a platinum" Platinum "elf in the" Blue Stella "star. My name is Clarice Bade. He's a platinum alchemist and chairman of the Alchemy Society of the Empire. Oh, and tame mouth is fine. I don't like being tough."

"Uh... can't I call you Mr. Clarice?

"... you sound normal in that tone, Monica"

"Clarice, so what about the man over there?

I'm disgusted, but I asked. And the response I got back was something I was good at.

"Rafe Allan, the labyrinth trespasser."

And Rafe Allan we were looking for opens his mouth.

"It's Rafe Allan. To Alsfira Medice, Elweed Willis, and Monica Dunn. I hear you're currently attacking the Sixth Labyrinth. And I'm fine with Rafe. I don't like being tough. So, how about the Sixth Labyrinth?

That's what Rafe says. He'll stare at me.

Should I answer this?

"... now attacked to the tenth level"

"Ten floors? What do you mean, have you met any big, or extraordinarily strong demons?

"Ah. I fought Hughespider, a giant spider 10 meters long. Besides, I'm going to use alchemy. It was primarily defense and metastasis."

"Did you crusade? The three of us?

"I froze it with absolute zero degree Absolute Zero while Fee and Monica covered it"

"Can I use the idiosyncratic alchemy Extra by myself? Isn't" Blue Stella "Dada..."

"We came to see you."

"You want information?

"Exactly"

"I see...... hey Clarice. Call these guys on the front line, too. I can use it, I'm sure."

Rafe talks to Clarice that way.

"Oh? That's a good idea. That's what I've been thinking since the beginning. Two Bitstar Blue Stellas and Platinum on the front line. If you hear we're going through that sixth labyrinth to the tenth floor, you'll have to join us. Fee, is that okay?

"I'm good, but what about Monica and Elle?

We all snort.

"I'll tell you what I know about my labyrinth when I can tell you guys can break through the labyrinth on this one. Don't tell me the Hundred News can't be seen at first sight. I don't trust you yet."

"Oh, okay. So, what's the situation? What's going on?

"Actually..."

Then Clarice gave me an overview.

A month ago, a scorpion Scorpion appeared in a village in the west. They numbered over a thousand and some of them were giant scorpions, Hughes Corpions.

Scorpion is a Danger Class B, and Huge Scorpion is a Danger Class A demon. Demons of crustacean species, which, as an ecosystem, basically live in deserts and other tropical regions. It has a bright red outer shell, which is bounced off in a half-breed attack. Besides, if you eat the poison from your tail, you'll die in a few minutes. The trouble is sprinkling the poison again. Some aspects are similar to the giant spider Hughespider, but the Scorpion system is more troublesome in one way or another. That emerges from thousands and nowhere. He's got a good alchemist and army hitting him right now. But now it looks like only alchemists are on the front lines. Other ordinary humans have either already died or left the front with injuries.

Sounds like a pretty tough situation.

"Can I leave the front line?

When I ask, Clarice answers with a serious eye.

"Looks like they have an activity cycle. I'm resting somewhere now. This is patterned, and after a certain amount of time, I'm gonna run away somewhere. It's not normal. Speed."

"... it's called the labyrinth thing, is the demon activated? Or..."

Once we broke up, we decided to prepare for tomorrow.
