"That can't be happening!

I deny the words of the Branch Manager who told us that he was trying to help us from the Labyrinth Rampage.

What did you do to me and the people in the city, take care of the labyrinth?

There was no way I could admit that.

Anger when he found out he was banned from entering and leaving the labyrinth.

I still stare and scream at the branch manager to tap that emotion that I can vividly recall.

"I can't believe you just said that to fix it..."

but momentum was quickly lost from my words.

Strong anger is still smoking in my chest.

But as I repeat the words, I notice.

... that Tsuji fits too well to assume it's an excuse.

Until now, I have had my doubts about the Alliance.

Why did the Alliance keep materials from selling to the city or seal the entrance and exit of our labyrinth, one of the most powerful in this labyrinth city?

As a result, if the city's humans or highly capable adventurers follow the labyrinth city, the guild will have nothing to lose but gain.

Even the creepiness was felt in the guild's movements, which I didn't know what the intentions were.

But what if the guild's purpose was not to judge from the damage, but to drive me and the people of the city out themselves?

"... Huh!

─ If you are unhappy, go to Wang Du.

I remember what Banzam told me in the guild when I was forbidden to enter and leave the labyrinth.

When Banzam first told me, I assumed that was a taunting word, but now I can see that it was a mistake.

As the Branch Manager said, labyrinth rampage may not be the reason.

Still, Banzam acted like he was definitely kicking me out of the labyrinth city back then.

I didn't quote you, but from Hanzam's attitude at that time, that would be obvious.

... If I had left then, it would have been then that I had that idea in my head.

If we had, Narsena might never have been caught in a labyrinth rampage, he said.

"I..."

The whining voice was incredibly plundering that I made it out.

Smile when you give the material to the city people.

And the sight of Marnell and the others laughing and interacting with the people of the city strikes me.

That was something I should have been proud of. [M]

but the thought keeps falling apart.

I don't know what the Branch Managers were trying to get us out of here.

It was a coincidence that there was a labyrinth rampage, that there might have been some other intention, that we were up to something in the labyrinth rampage, and that we might just have been in the way.

But it doesn't change the fact that I did something extra.

Because whatever the intentions, the branch chiefs were trying to get us and the city people out of the labyrinth.

If I hadn't done anything extra, the people of the city and Narsena would never have been caught in a labyrinth rampage.

My head turns bright white.

It was at that moment that the Branch Manager spoke to me.

"Everything about the city, it's not your fault."

The branch manager had a grin on his face filled with familiarity and kindness.

With that smile, I feel relieved without knowing.

Yet I noticed the Branch Manager's grin, unconsciously lagging behind.

"There's nothing wrong with you. I should have told you more about the threat to this labyrinth."

Without any concern for my attitude, the Branch Manager continues his words.

To comfort you with a complete vision of my heart.

The Branch Manager's words were just sweet.

But I understand instinctively. [M]

We can't afford this kindness.

At the end of the day, if I get stuck, it could be the Branch Manager's choice.

It was then that my master came out before me with his magic constructed.

"Stop trying to take in my apprentice"

A master who doesn't even try to hide his abominations stares at the branch manager.

but the branch manager just laughs at the master who doesn't even try to hide his grump.

"It's out of my mind to be told that. I'm just trying to give you guys a suggestion after I've taken my own nonsense."

"... suggestions?

"Oh. That would be a useful proposition for you, too."

The branch manager smiles amicably at the master, who inexplicably distorts his face.

Put a grin on his face and open his mouth as if talking to a friend.

"─ Let's work together in this labyrinth city where there will be a labyrinth rampage."

"... Huh!

It was discomfort and anger that I remembered for the words.

There is strength in the hand that holds the weapon with nature.

Revealing hostility, I turn to the Branch Manager.

"I won't. If you're feeling guilty, why don't you just stay away from us?

It must be true that the branch chiefs tried to get me and the city people out of the labyrinth city.

Nevertheless, I didn't believe at all in the word that I noticed the labyrinth rampage and tried to get the people of the city and us away.

I don't know as much about an elf as I do about the Maze City Branch Manager Mist. [M]

but I've also understood from my previous interactions that I'm not a sweet enough person to forgive myself here.

Honestly, if you're talking about this guy, there's some kind of conspiracy, and he's more believable when he tells me he tried to kick me and the city people out of the labyrinth city.

At least I don't doubt the Branch Manager has the ability to even use the labyrinth rampage.

I will tell the Branch Manager clearly about it.

"I don't trust you at all, and I don't intend to."

"You......!

Responding to my words, Hanzam looks at me. [M]

My skin feels tingly killer, but Hanzam is loyal to the Branch Manager's words, good or bad.

Knowing that in my previous interactions, I ignore Hanzam and open my mouth to my master.

"Right, Master?"

At that time, I did not doubt that my master was in agreement with me.

If you are a master who is more alert to branch managers than I am, you must understand more than I do the horror of bringing branch managers on my side.

In the meantime, there is no possibility of nodding to the Branch Manager's proposal.

Yeah, I was thinking.

"... ok. Mist, I'll take your suggestion. I'll work with you."

"... Huh?

─ ─ Therefore, I could not believe the words of the Master who told the Branch Manager.

It was a bitter look on the face of the master who accepted that the branch manager would be on his side, telling the story of his unwillingness to accept the proposal.

Nonetheless, there was no stray in the words of the master who told him that he would accept the proposal.

The Master and the Branch Manager exchanges words with me elsewhere, confused by unexpected circumstances.

"It's a wise decision, Larma"

"Shut up. Keep in mind that we're only going to cooperate. If you betray me, I'll kill you first."

"Scary, scary"

After hearing the conversation, I finally understand.

Seriously, the master said that he was trying to hold the branch manager's hand.

"... what do you mean"

With the confusion I cannot help, I turn to reflexively and try to question my master.

I was wondering why you're trying to do something extremely dangerous, such as have a branch manager on your side.

It seemed to me more risky to have Branch Manager on my side than to be hostile to Branch Manager.

... It was then that I noticed my master's anomaly.

"And, Master...?

On the master's face, there was intense anxiety and tension.

On the contrary, I realize that my master's complexion is blue, and I am at close range.

That was worse than that time I told him I had a 30% chance of winning with the branch manager before I entered this room.

My master whispers to me when I lose my words.

"I'm sorry. Apparently, my outlook was wrong.... Perhaps Mist doesn't really have the means to escape"

The Master's words, which completely deny the purpose for which he came here, also shock me a little.

However, I did not lose my peace in the words, which I had anticipated to some extent from the Branch Manager's attitude.

The attempt to create a system of cooperation with us but not talk about the escape route was evidence of this.

At least, even if there was an escape route, that must take a lot of time or effort.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the Branch Managers to cooperate with us.

Because you just have to run away without saying anything.

So even with the words of his master, I was more concerned about his system of cooperation with the Branch Manager.

As I understand my inner self, the Master tells me.

"I know. I don't even think about fine dust such as trusting mists. I also understand the danger of taking sides. But if we don't have a system of cooperation, whether we're dealing with it or not, we're not going to die for a few days."

It was then that I remembered the danger of a labyrinth rampage that had previously fallen out of my mind in my interaction with the Branch Manager.

… I now recognize the threat of a labyrinth rampage against the loss of an escape route.

Still, I can't admit to taking the branch manager on my side, and I open my mouth to my master.

"But it's more risky to side with that branch manager..."

"Was that a bad word?"

but my master never heard the words until the end.

"... the status quo is that you have to rely on someone like that"

"─ Huh!

In the face of the master who told him so, there was a seepage of intense impatience.

... It was then that I finally recognized one scale of the horrors of the labyrinth rampage.

Now I curse my bad luck inside, feeling the blood draw from my face.

Why do you get caught up in such a troublesome thing, continuing with Hydra and Phoenix... and.

If I go back, I have to explain to everyone that the Branch Manager, who should have recognized me as an enemy, is on his side.

Recognizing the troublesome future, I look abominably. [M]

"At least don't let anything happen to me any more..."

I don't know. I shrugged to beg.

… that something is already happening that makes the situation even worse.
