A fierce breeze unleashed at the same time had tried to punch me in the body, but prevented it with a big shield that I was carrying faster than that.

I managed to strengthen my body by the original outer skin, as well as by magic vegetables.

... Despite all the shock, there is not a single cut in this room.

I guess that means a special room.

I can see it. I grate the big shield and stare at the sloth.

Then she was laughing with pleasure.

"Whoa. You're gonna react to that now...... Huh!

"What do you do all of a sudden... eh"

Sloth gives a happy voice. When I stare at her, Marius puts up another knife.

"Rude is my rival. Don't take it personally."

Turning the gaze we blamed, she raised her hands in a panic.

"Wait, wait. It's not like there was any malice. Because you said you wanted the point."

... what?

Speaking of which, you can collect points from adventurers.

... Of course, I'd get more points if I fought too.

But still, just because we fought here doesn't mean we're going in.

"Well, look. Rude, how much skin do you have?

"... I have 9999 for now"

"Then it wouldn't be the same if I scraped about 5,000. Rude, why don't you check the magic book?

"... oh"

No, an attack that cuts 5,000 is usually dangerous...

I thought so, but Sloth has already carried out the attack without a problem.

At the next moment, my skin disappeared, and I blew it.

In the meantime, there is no pain because I received it on the outer skin.

Close your eyes and make sure I wake up.

As she calculated, almost 5,000 exoskeletons had been shredded.

"Rude, look at the magic book."

Sloth sits back in his chair again and looks at this one.

I'll try to get closer to the Apocalypse, too.

If you look closely at the letters that were floating, there were 8,000 more points.

"... what do you mean? Isn't it the same as the outer skin?"

"There are two reasons for this increase in points. One is proportional to the size of the labyrinth, the other is proportional to the strength of the person, and the recovery rate changes."

"... scale and strength, huh?"

"Bye. First of all... your labyrinth itself must have become quite a thing already. If you were a freshly made labyrinth, you would have earned enough points on the exterior skin of about F-rank adventurers, but now you're not?"

I see Chilla and Marius.

"Really?"

"I haven't seen it that far"

……

I sighed as Sloth shrugged.

"A little more, I don't want the labyrinth operation to hold on. When the labyrinth grows, on the outer skin of weak adventurers, its rate of return is poor. If it's easy to understand and show in numbers, even if you scrape 100 of the F-rank Adventurer's skin, it can only come in 10. If you're an e-rank adventurer, 20 if you shred 100, like. Depending on the size of the labyrinth and the demons that appear in the labyrinth, they change. That's the constraint of a convenient existence called the Labyrinth."

"... I see. So why did you get more numbers than that when my skin shredded?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier? He said that if you sharpen the skin of a powerful adventurer, that would improve the rate of reduction. That doesn't mean it can be more than 100%."

... That's all you can say?

"... so it was 8000, not 5000"

"Oh, that's not why. If you recover this sharpened skin using the healing magic of other gods, you will be able to recover it again."

"God's grace... you mean recover with your skills?"

"Bye. The outer skin is not made by God's energy. It doesn't matter how much you scrape unless you've recovered with skills close to it. It doesn't have to be due to skills or natural recovery."

"... is the potion no good?"

"Oh. Some new potion was fashionable in Avancia, but I can't recover it from the skin I recovered from that one. Well, it's also true that the popularity of convenient potions increases the number of adventurers challenging the labyrinth."

"... I see"

You'd better have a convenient potion.

If you think of it as an adventurer's position, if you have the means to speed up the outer skin when you have to, you can afford to go ahead with the offense.

"Have you figured out how to earn rough points?"

"... oh. But honestly, I never thought I'd make light money with such means."

"Usually we can't do that either. Cooperative people, because it's not what it is. There's no point in a demonic labyrinth."

"... Really?"

"Oh, that's right. Then I could have known how to do it somewhere."

"A place?"

"Do you know where I've been and what I've been doing?"

Yes, it was.

Sloth was looking into the demon king in the first place that he was moving in the Brunkels country.

Her presence here would also mean that the investigation was completed, or quite a bit of information was available.

"Sloth, what do you got?"

"There is no doubt in the grid I have previously spoken about the Demon King in motion. And some of them seem to be cooperating."

"... Really?"

The look on Marius's face gets more rude.

I stopped my hand once because I was worried about your story before I did anything about the labyrinth.

"His name is Malvas Rust. She's the demon king of women, and she doesn't look like a jerk."

"... right"

"Oh? What did you care? This is what it looks like?"

That said, Sloth was transformed on the spot.

In green hair, elf ears, and... areas such as the chest were covered with leaves of trees. Arms and feet have something like tree roots to intertwine with.

Somehow, it looks close to a demon named Doriad.

Or my breasts are amazing. Sure... you look naughty.

"Well, anyway, this isn't the place. Looks like he's running a giant labyrinth."

"... I see"

"They also seem to have the power to spread the plague, and some in cities with labyrinths complain of ill health."

"Yeah, what is it?"

I didn't have that much information, but it wouldn't involve being a dangerous opponent.

"If you're going to attack a giant labyrinth, he's probably going to be an obstacle."

"... I guess. I'm going to try and be ready."

"That should be better. Last guy told me how to earn points earlier."

"If you're the guardian of the giant labyrinth, this much wisdom seems to work."

"Rust says he's haunting humans and keeping them in the labyrinth."

... I see.

If you do get invited in this look, a man would catch 80%.

A terrible demon king.

"That's why the information on the last one isn't that good. Problem is, the grid is better."

So I made sure to break through the space, and Hugh and Ray showed up.

Both seem real. Hugh jumped at me, and Ray modestly followed me.

"Were you both back?"

I recovered it in the Kingdom of Brunkels.

... I see.

You two would be more familiar with the story.

I was light-headed and twisted.
