"...... Was Siegfried aware of it?"

That being said, the Augur that came to mind was the one I had just defeated.

That creepy smile that was pointing at me with only my neck.

It's stuck to my head. [M]

And that auger wasn't the only one with the anomaly.

The auger I've fought before is on my mind. [M]

You feel like you can't beat me, and you're trying to surround yourself with weapons.

Indeed, compared to the last auger, those augers might still have been enough.

... but obviously, the auger we fought this time had developed its intelligence since the first day of the labyrinth rampage.

Compared to the devil beast mutating, it shouldn't be too late.

Even if I tried to think so, it was clinging to my brain as an unbelievably creepy memory.

"After all, was Raust aware of it?"Yes, I know all the central ones, not just me, but Narcena as well. ”

That said, it's only been two days since the change became apparent.

Two days before Lila told me, it was still in my head the day an event happened.

"... two days ago, is that the day the super-difficulty demon beast came?"

"Yeah, that's right."

When I nodded, Sieg's memories came back to me.

I remembered the disturbance caused by the super difficulty demon beast that appeared at the right time.

Mr. Ronald dealt with the commotion immediately.

However, contrary to my surroundings, I couldn't help but feel anxious. [M]

I wondered if it was unnatural for a demonic beast of super difficulty to appear at a time like this.

"The master had a steep expression, too." At that time,

"Mr. Ronald, that's what you said."I've never seen an intelligent auger or a demonic beast with such difficulty appear at a time like this. "

...... I frowned at the words that corroborated my imagination.

However, in contrast to me, Zeke and Lila didn't change their facial expressions at all.

"That said, it's not a lie to say we can break through."I really think so. "

“Yeah, it wouldn't be a big deal if we could do our best.”

Suddenly, it was then that I felt uncomfortable.

I don't doubt what Zeke and the others have said.

However, I obviously noticed that the two of them had a strange atmosphere.

“But I want to remove as much anxiety as I can.”

And that's why I noticed it when I got there.

The real purpose of the two men was not to convey the anomaly of the demon beast.

"By the way, it's about Narcena..."

I muttered to myself, "There's no way I can be relieved of that story."

As far as I could tell, I myself understood that the changes between me and Narcena were blatant.

It's not like I and Narcena had a fight.

Rather, it may be said that the friendly relationship is better than before.

─ ─ However, after the conversation on the first night of the labyrinth rampage, we just didn't cling to each other.

"No, I'm not worried about Raust and Narcena."When we're fighting each other, we're switching. "

"No, but if something goes wrong over there, other adventurers will come too..."

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."

Feeling the heat build up on my face, I lowered my head.

In fact, I also understood that even if I was worried about it, it was getting so clumsy.

As expected, I felt that it had to be resolved.

With that, I opened my mouth. [M]

"I'll talk to Narcena today..."

◇◆◇

Then, as soon as I returned to the Labyrinth City, I was walking out to find Narcena.

As I searched for it, I remembered that this had happened before.

But then, unlike during the labyrinth rampage, I knew where Narcena was.

Probably in the Adventurer's Guild, waiting for me.

Yes, just like I was waiting for Narcena to come home until yesterday.

Thinking that far, I mumbled in a small voice. [M]

"... that's a strange feeling."

Narcena and I would be pretty jumpy, and I would have understood.

In fact, when we met, we were more silent than ever.

Even though I was switching sides when I fought, I was naturally worried about my surroundings.

... even though I think so, for some reason I even felt comfortable in my current relationship with Narcena.

That said, we can't just stay like this.

Yes, I tell myself. [M]

I am now a presence that affects my surroundings.

In that situation, we cannot continue this jumbled relationship.

Yes, I made up my mind and headed for the Adventurer's Guild.

And soon after that, I found Narcena.

Narcena was outside the Adventurer's Guild.

So Narcena was looking for someone to help her understand.

The number of adventurer guilds that send such warm eyes to Narsena tells how long Narsena has been there, and I hide my glowing face with my hands.

... when will you really be able to look at your child like that?

Maybe that's how cute and irresistible I am.

That being said, I don't have the courage to call out to Narcena here, so I stop there a little bit and worry about what to do.

However, it soon became unnecessary.

Narusena's eyes, which were looking around, stopped when she noticed my presence.

"... oniisan!"

At that moment, a smile appeared on Narusena's face as if a flower had opened.
