The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

The beginning of a new life

Luna put a glass of water on the table.

Nin grabbed it at once and soaked it up.

You were worried about the living room that got noisy, and Manicia was only putting her face out of the room. Cute.

"... brother, who's there?"

"It's Nin, the healer who was partying over there. I used to get help, too."

"Outside, how is the Virgin making a scene?"

"Nin is the Virgin of the Church. I belonged to a brave party. That's where we were together."

"... of the brave. Brother, that's what you were working at."

Speaking of which, you never talked about me.

Because I thought it was mean to talk outside and interest Manichia.

"I just canceled the party because of everything."

"... is that right? I'm resting in the back. Virgin, take your time."

Manichia only turned a soft smile on Nin.

Turn that on your brother, too. I wanted to interrupt with Nin.

"I'll accompany you, too."

Luna and Manichia enter the room.

"Manichia over there is your sister? The other one... I don't think it's your wife or anything."

You look like you're grieving like you're angry, like that.

"He's Luna, Homunculus. They're taking care of Manichia."

"... Sure, you looked sick. Born, what is it?"

"Sort of. I have no choice in that anymore.... That's good now. How did you get here? It's like a big fuss when the Virgin arrives."

If you clear your ears, you can hear the noise outside a lot.

Or you didn't know Nin was famous enough to talk about it.

But apparently the question was landmines.

Nin's expression gets even more rugged.

"About the brave!"

"... right"

A little, I was expecting.

She's here because forgiveness came out of the church.

I look at Nin's arm.

Is it a fracture? The cloth retracts sloppily from the neck and the left arm has an escort.

"I'll tell you everything after you're gone."

"... no, we don't have to talk about it"

"Hey, listen to me!"

Is it as strong as ever?

"I get it. What's going on?"

"As soon as you were gone, we started attacking the labyrinth, which is said to be highly difficult."

Why is Kiglas called a brave man?

The title of the brave is given to those who step through the labyrinth.

When the labyrinth first appeared in the world, those who attacked it without cowardice were given the title 'The Brave'.

Since then, those who continue to attack the Labyrinth of High Difficulty have become known as the Brave.

So Kiglas is a brave man. Incidentally, that 'brave man' of the past decided on roles like attacker, healer and tank.

"Well, I seem to have lost more difficulty than usual because I said beforehand, if I fail, I'll fall out. He's weak, weak."

"Well... so the result was a failure?"

"Yeah, that's right. They did it on the thirtieth floor of the labyrinth."

I just talked to him, too, so I don't know how the demons are deciding to attack.

"The brave guy just needs to attack. What? He didn't do it at all in the end, and that's the kind of damage he's going to take... healers couldn't heal themselves anyway"

Like tired, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you all right?"

"It's too much. I'm done with about a fracture, but the other members are more blurry. Kiglas, who was fighting unscrupulous battles on the front line, has been in full control for three months. How are the other members doing, Lilia?"

"... that was a disaster"

If you lose your outer skin and injure your biological flesh, the treatment will take time.

Of course, secretive drugs and elixirs can be used to heal them, but they often leave some kind of wound.

"I'm fine. I haven't had a vacation in a long time. So, I noticed that this offense has been a lot weird.... Hey, isn't it weird when you think about it that Kiglas and the rest of your crew never ate an attack before?"

"... right"

Is that so?

Thanks to Luna, too, I was able to know the effects of my skills.

"Here's what I thought. Kiglas has eaten the attack before. But I've never been damaged. 'Cause Rude's the only one I've recovered from. I thought your skills had something to do with it."

"Sounds like it. I've finally been able to understand the effects of my skills lately."

"Really? Hey, can you tell me?"

I'll explain what I learned the other day about my skills.

Nin's expression changed dizzily, and when I finished explaining it, he had a difficult face.

That's crazy.

I thought you'd be surprised...

"You. Then you mean you had all the damage the party members had ever taken...?"

"Well, don't"

I think the pain should be tolerated.

As a tank, I've trained to be in pain.

I've even been trained with my skin scraped off.

Now I don't even care about the pain I get on the skin.

Nin seemed to be most concerned about that.

"... sorry, I hadn't noticed before"

"Yes, no... that's nothing. I didn't even know that."

"The attack I ate, you took it all - so when I attacked the Kiglas last time, it didn't work at all."

"... right"

I had been working with the Kiglas for almost another year.

If I'd fought with my previous senses, I'd have a lot going on.

That's all, I might have done something wrong.

"So. Kiglas is a little questioned about his prowess in this failure. 'Cause the labyrinth there was 40 floors high?"

"... well, again"

Kiglas and the others attack up to thirty tiers.

If so, brave man? and I can't help being tilted in the neck.

But Nin had his first happy look on his face when he came here.

A little mean, I guess.

"Don't you have to appreciate Rude? If you think about what's different from the last time, Ludo exists. I didn't approve of Kiglas."

"I don't mind. If you stand out poorly, you won't be able to move freely. There's Manichea."

I'm looking at nin, and I think I'll make it.

Like Nin and Kiglas, there are so many responsibilities and duties attached to what is in status.

I may not be able to come back to Manichia like I do now.

I don't like that. If you can't see Manichia's face, you die.

"... well, that's the kind of guy you are."

"Sort of. I'm attacking the Labyrinth just to cure Manichea's body. I wish I could belong to some party."

"... looking for the legendary Demon Book, was it?"

"Oh."

A demonic book sealed with the magic of curing any disease, that it is at the deepest end of some labyrinth.

... It's like a fairy tale.

But still, whatever, if there's a chance you can cure Manichia, there's no reason not to try.

"When will Nin be back?"

"Until the injury heals. They say you can rest for a while after you've healed, and should we live here?"

"In this town? There aren't many inns, and by chance, adventurers are staying."

"Really? So can I take care of you in this house?"

"... all I have to do is my room, well, should I be looked after somewhere else"

"Nothing's fine. Um... two people in your room, but..."

Stop looking at me like that.

A man is easy to fall in love with. As soon as you get a cute look on your face, Colori.

I smiled at Manichia and endured hard.

"My gender and yours are men and women. That's not what a woman of your age would say. I don't know how much I'm dealing with."

"That's why I'm telling you."

"I appreciate you trusting me so much..."

"That's not what it is. Think about why you're here to see me."

"You said you were coming to see me. Is there any more reason to go to a friend's house?"

Don't be aware.

I'm a weak person. If I grab the peace there, I'm sure I'll spoil it.

Live dull.

"You don't have to see me for a second to change anything."

"'Cause you're not gonna make a difference except you broke a bone."

I can't believe my chest got bigger.

"The Virgin is cute, but she has no breasts compared to her predecessor".

That is what is often said among citizens.

I exhale once and get up. Open the door opposite Manicia's room.

"This is my room. I don't care if you're free to use it."

"... Killing landscape. Don't you have any hobbies?"

"No. If you say so, it's about shield polishing."

And then enough to paint a sketch of Manichia?

Thanks to you, only Manichia is good at it.

... You had a sketch on Tans. I need to hide it later.

"See you then. Or so you're not even doing a collection of shields. But it feels like your room. It smells soothing."

"... smell? Just keep me ventilated."

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

Nin waved one hand after grinning again.

"Then again. Nice to meet you!"

"Oh, nice to meet you"

Are we going to live with this guy now?

... a little bit more serious. Isn't that pretty bad?

The other is the Virgin, daughter of the Duke's house - if anything happens to her, she'll erase me.

Think of the life ahead.

... I don't feel bad about having her when I get home.

No, no. I have a sister, too.

Dang, dang, dang, dang!

"Hey, what's wrong!?"

"... I don't know. It's just that when this happens, something bad happens."

Hurry up, there was Feel.

She grabs my arm in a hurry.

"There's a demon out there that I've never even seen close! I'm fighting in the vigilante now, but I'm not a very good opponent!"

"Copy that. I'll be right there."

"I'm coming too."

"Virgin!? Why are you here!?"

"You'll be injured in the arm."

"Duh, what's going on, Rude? Why is the Virgin here...?"

"It's okay. Anyway, it's like shooting magic in the back."

"Right, right. Please, give me a hand. I will protect you. Luna, can you come too?"

"Yes, I'll be right on my way"

Are you listening to me? Yeah, you can explain later... eh. Anyway, this way! "

Calling Luna, Nin tilted her neck. Nin knows that Homunculus can't fight.

She is trustworthy. Let's explain the situation on the road.
