I even walked so I could be led. But I can't see much further. Rather than that, the structure here is strange. I should have walked at least a kilometer or so. Even so, it doesn't make any difference.

With that in mind, I found something.

"... the door?

Yes, what was there was a big door. And I opened the door with a little hesitation.

"Hey... you're here"

"... who are you?

What was in that room was a simple room. desks and chairs and cups already poured. Look at that. I think that would be tea, but I don't care about that now. Is there someone in this labyrinth? And this... in a place I don't know where...?

He looks like a young man. Short hair, but the hair was white. And somewhere, he looks like me. I thought so.

"Sit down, El."

"Why give me a name...?

"Come on, why not?"

I just sat there staring at this guy. I really think it's suspicious of a lot of things, but instinctively I don't feel hostile. That's why I thought about it after we had the conversation.

"I thought it was time to come."

"Where am I? How many layers of the labyrinth?

"Oh... well, now you're in the middle of attacking the Sixth Labyrinth."

"? What about you now? It's like you don't have me now."

"Even so. All possibilities lie asleep in the world where this Uroboros circles."

"You think this world has been over and over again?

"No, the world itself does not repeat itself. Time is one-way, irreversible. The idea of a loop is good, but you're you. It's just possible in the world. There are many possibilities. And now, as a possibility, you're attacking the Sixth Labyrinth."

"Isn't this... inside the Sixth Labyrinth?

"In the Sixth Labyrinth, but yes and no. But I don't understand these words to you right now."

"Then why am I in a place like this and having a conversation with you?

"Right. I wanted to tell you."

"What?

"The way this world is..."

"... what do you want"

"What are you living for?

He suddenly asks me philosophical questions. But that's decided. I give everything for the crop.

"Of course, it's about spreading my crops around the world."

"Yes. Your essence is there. You want to accomplish it. I have always hoped, and you will continue to move forward for that purpose. But, you know, the world started going crazy on the border ten years ago. I want to stop it."

"... you're not coming with a pin. Say things straight in."

"Right. I want you to step through all the labyrinths first."

"After all, is there something in the labyrinth?

"Even so. Human beings in this world are too ignorant in the first place. We should have attacked that labyrinth sooner. But I've never been born with anyone who could do a labyrinth attack. But I'm finally here. That's you. You have great talent. [M] Well, even so, you're descended from that clan. Naturally, of course."

That's what they said, and I was remembering. Dad said he picked me up at the orphanage. But I don't know the exact origin. I don't know my real father, I don't know my real mother. Thinking about it, who am I?

Until now, I've only thought about crops, and I think that family is the real family. Now you think that's right, but where are those people with blood connections to me?

"What is the descendant of a clan?

"... right. Honestly, there's not much information I can give you in this space. Because I'm still pretty pushy about this. But if I were to tell you one thing, you would be descended from the wizard's ancestors."

"Wizard...... after all, magic is one of the lost technologies and it has something to do with alchemy, right?

"... magic and alchemy are essentially the same. It's just a different process you're intervening in. Alchemy uses the primary material, PrimaMateria, but magic uses the zero material, Acacial Materia."

"Zero Materials" Acacial Materials "?

"You alchemists seem to think that the first material, Prima Materia, is the backbone of everything, but in fact, the zero material, Acacia Materia, is the backbone of the world. All is one, one is all. The only thing that makes it up is the zero mass, Acacic Materials. The wizards, without exception, use the zeroth material Acacic Materials. And it makes every phenomenon possible. This labyrinth is also a product of magic."

"... Again? You're just what I expected... but I can't solve it. I found out about magic. But what can I do? I am highly apt for alchemy because I am descended from a wizard. Understandable. But what's ahead of you when you step through the labyrinth?

"... I can't tell you right now. You don't deserve it yet. [M] It's really impossible that I'm meeting you like this right now. But here's what I had to do to get them out."

"They?"

"There's a bunch of people called the Truth Seeker Fanaticos. Their purpose is different from ours. And it's the status quo that's holding each other back. You will meet the Truth Seeker Fanaticos in the future."

"... think you're on my side? Wouldn't it be more decent to do it with that truth seeker Fanaticos?

"No, they live in a crazy world. every outrage to prove the existence of God. As you know, the mystics."

"The mystics say it has something to do with the truth seeker Fanaticos?

"It's more like the lower organization of the truth seeker Fanaticos. They're trying to bring down God to this world and create a new world ahead of that proof. They can get in trouble if they attack the labyrinth. That's because there are secrets in this labyrinth. Besides, you've already fought, but the devils of the world are also artificially caused by the truth seeker Fanaticos. Use humans as experimental benches. You know, in the deepest depths of this Sixth Labyrinth... the results of their outrageous experiments."

……

To be honest, there are parts of me that are too flighty to keep up with. But I met an unexplained person from that metastasis and this is how I talk, and I don't even think this guy's lying on purpose. It's dangerous to try to believe, but I actually thought there was something in the labyrinth originally. The purpose remains the same now. Plus, I care about the word that I'm descended from the Wizard. Because it's meant to be one step closer to my roots.

Plus, they say there's something at the deepest end of the Sixth Labyrinth. Something about the truth seeker Fanaticos.

"Hey... what the hell am I..."

"Sorry. Sounds like time. I can't keep this space any longer. Elle, you have to break through the labyrinth. And get to the truth about this labyrinth. You'll get there before the truth. [M] I believe you."

"Hey, what's the story..."

"Bye, Elweed Willis... my..."

My consciousness flew all at once when a man tried to say something at the end.

"Errr!! Errr!! it's ok!!?

"First!!

"Huh?"

If you noticed, I was standing on the twentieth floor. Same as then. But what's going on? I must have been in that weird space, having a conversation with a guy.

"What happened to Elle when he suddenly blurred?

"Hey... Alchemy just activated here, right?"

"Yep. But Elle resisted. Yet as soon as I resisted, I was confused for about a minute. I was worried something was wrong."

"A minute? Is Monica the same?

"Huh? Right. The teacher was boggling for about a minute."

"Well...... no, it's nothing. Shall we move on?"

That's what I say. It's nothing. I start walking in the guise of the wind. But in that strangely realistic space, the content of that conversation. Just daydreaming? Or is it my delusion?

But he knew me, and he knew what had happened before. And what's going to happen.

What the hell is a labyrinth? What is this world?

With that in mind, I went further into the labyrinth for now.
