Having been given a necklace that could never be lost, I was on my way to the inn. [M]

"... I'm glad you're not here."

Feeling relieved that Narcena is not in the inn, I enter the room assigned to me.

... well, that state.

Maybe she's staying with Armia because she wants to see the first day of the labyrinth rampage.

With that in mind, I pushed the carefully wrapped necklace into the back of the bag in the center of it.

This is it.

In the center was a bag with minimal luggage for an emergency.

As long as you put it in, you won't lose your necklace unless you do the right thing.

Yes, I was relieved. The next time I saw something in my bag, I smiled bitterly.

"By the way, what should I do with this..."

That's why I lifted the sword from the adventurer who came to apologize on the first day of the labyrinth runaway.

Only in the state of being in the sheath did I lift up that fine demonic sword.

There's a lot of weight in it, and I thought it was going to get in the way of getting out of here.

"There are also necklaces, so I can't add any extra luggage."But I just feel guilty about leaving it behind..... "

It may be sturdy, but honestly, I hardly ever use a great sword.

This immobilized luggage made me feel overwhelmed. [M]

A little worried, I'll decide. [M]

"... let's get inside the guild and pray for victory to the Creator God."

I don't feel guilty at all, but this is the situation.

The adventurers would be convinced if there was a victory prayer.

Ask Amherst, who works in the Adventurer's Guild, for a quote to keep the adventurer quiet, and she'll show you a good stash.

Well then, let's go.

Immediately carrying the great sword wrapped in cloth, I left the inn to head to the Adventurer's Guild.

From here, the Adventurer's Guild is not far away.

The Adventurer's Inn is located within easy reach of the Temporary Weapon Shop and the Adventurer's Guild.

However, my legs stopped before I reached the Adventurer's Guild.

... as if I'd seen someone I didn't expect.

Handsome?

It was Hanzam, who was supposed to be based in a faraway mist hideout.

◇◆◇

The moment he heard my voice, Hansam clearly warped his face.

And then you turn your back without responding in any way to my voice.

Reflexively on my back, I called out. [M]

Wait!

In response to the voice of restraint, Hanzam stops his foot.

Then I slowly looked back a little.

"... what? I'm busy."

"Ah, no..."

As you can see, I mouth at the grumpy Hanzam.

At the same time, he was upset about calling out to her.

Meanwhile, Hansam tries to turn his back on me again.

"If you need me, let's go."

"...... why did you help me?"

At that moment, I was reflexively asking the questions that were left in my chest.

When I was fighting Fenrir, Hanzam helped me.

I still remember what I heard from Narcena.

I was somewhat speculative at the time, but I still asked him directly.

I knew what Hanseatic thought of me.

"Why did you help me?"

In response to my question, Hanzam slowly looks back.

And after a little hesitation, he slowly opened his mouth.

"I'll make one correction."

What do you mean?

"I don't say I don't hate you, but I don't hate you."

"... what about you?"

At that word, I was unexpectedly shouting out a faint voice. [M]

Brainstorming is a lot of inappropriate treatment of guilds.

It wasn't just about fighting the Great Sword of War God.

The guild has always been unfair to me.

The lightning sword, my words that the days I spent at that party were the best I've ever had, that's not a lie.

Life in the Labyrinth City was so terrible that it was Hanzam who was behind the treatment.

... if you don't hate me, what are those days?

That's all under the direction of the Branch Manager.

"... are you going to excuse that?"

I stare at Hanzam in anger as he comes up.

... but at that moment, my anger vanished all at once.

"An excuse? You're really dull, Raust."You still don't get it, do you? "

"... what are you talking about?"

Puzzled by Handsome who reveals more anger than I do, I ask.

At that moment, Hanzam's anger increased even more.

"Very well, I'll tell you."She's so insensitive to her own honor. "

"So, what are you talking about...!"

The Branch Chief was trying to get you away.

"...... Oh no!"

At that moment, I remembered when I went to the branch manager's hideout with my master.

At that time, I was told by the Branch Manager that he was trying to get us out of here through cold treatment.

"That story is supposed to be a fiction to shake us up."

“No, it's not. It's the truth. I don't think he's going to say that."

"... do you have such feelings for the mist that caused this situation?"There's no way you can believe that!Then where is the evidence! ”

Hanzam was calm and calm towards me.

Look me in the eye and tell me. [M]

“There's no proof, but you're wondering, aren't you?”

"... what are you talking about?"

"Why didn't the branch manager escape?"You showed me the bulwarks of the Labyrinth City and you fought desperately for other adventurers. ”

That was certainly true.

Even though it caused this situation, it is a mist that moves to protect the Labyrinth City like a lie.

There was a pile of discomfort in me.

"Besides, if you're incompetent, you know that, don't you?"This labyrinth city is unusually harsh on weak humans, and it's very easy for incompetent people to escape. "

I inadvertently shut up at the words. [M]

I knew that very well. [M]

Because I've seen the incompetents flee this city.

... and I survived the wind that made me stronger with less incompetence.

Shut up and repeat the words to me. [M]

"Have you ever thought about that?"

"... what are you doing?"

It's as if── this is a mechanism that drives a weaker human out of this place.

"......!"

The structure of the labyrinthine city is so distorted... I lose my words to Hanzam, who told me why it existed.

However, I immediately denied it.

"Don't be ridiculous! How can you believe such a story?"That's as if.... "

It seems you've been predicting the labyrinth rampage for a long time?

Hansam laughs at my words. [M]

... that smile seemed to mourn something even though she was laughing.

Looking at it, I can't say anything. [M]

Honestly, neither the mist nor Handzam can believe it, and it's true that they're involved in the labyrinth rampage.

... but I couldn't say that it was really evil.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me."I don't hate you just because I don't hate you.... but she was really trying to help you. "

There was no mourning on Hanzam's face when I told him that again.

However, the expression gradually changed into anger.

"I wish you'd run away sooner, Raust."
