The Principle of a Philosopher by Eternal Fool “Asley”

- Beilanea North Gate at 7: 50 p.m. -

The only person out of town at this hour is an adventurer or an insane person who works to level up.

Me and Porch were here long enough before the rendezvous.

A large north gate that is closed, a small stuffing that would be managing it. And you can see that there's a bonfire on both sides of the gate, and there's only me and Porch near the gate.

Of course, there would be a gatekeeper in the jar, but we couldn't find a group that we thought was going to meet.

"Was it a little too soon?

"No, this is it, isn't it?

"So you're late for them!

"Whatever it is, it's too soon to switch."

And I guess we owe it to each other rather than to Porch...... to wait and remain calm.

One big stretch (yawn) of a sitting pouch leaks out of my mouth when I get caught too. Porch and I slept a little, but it was a college lecture during the day, and I'm a little tired.

This labyrinth expedition is a plan to head to the entrance within the night and start diving the next morning. I had heard this from Duncan in advance, but in the end I couldn't talk to a Rank A party until today.

I would have liked to have talked about it somewhat if I could... well, isn't it unusual? Whatever, the party is to two men, a party cemented with a single woman warrior or something?

And so far I've thought about it, Porch's ears and nose cracked.

"You're here. The rubbing sound of armor, the smell of blood and oil leaking from your weapon… its sumptuous and quiet footprint… you would be an adventurer not ashamed of rank A."

"Well, that sounds like it could be easier."

And I began to hear the rubbing sound of those clothes and armor, too, and at the same time I heard him speak with a light nori.

"Oh, lucky! Your partner is a magician this time."

"Brutes, I told you earlier."

"Uh, no, no, I said I don't remember saying that to this guy. Come on. Remember this guy's personality, Blazer.

"Sorry, Betty, I didn't study."

"Ha-ha-ha, that's what I'm reflecting on!

"What do you want me to do?"

Me and Porch obeyed the three of them approaching and lowered their heads modestly. This is what greetings between adventurers are all about.

A man called Brutes, who felt good, raised his hand gently and responded accordingly.

"With Mr. Duncan's introduction, I'm offering it to you today, Azley, and this is the Porch of the Devil of Use. Thank you very much."

"Please"

"Whoa, hello, it's Blazer to Betty for Brutes!

Betty smiled and Blazer bowed her head small and responded to Brutes' introduction.

At the same time, I checked the status of the three of them.

――――――――――――――――――――

Brutes

LV: 62

HP: 1450

MP: 91

EXP: 424498

Special: Rigidity, Rigid Body, Smash Slash, Disease, Rigid Heart

Title: Brother, Swordhawk, Rank A, Raptor, Silver Member

――――――――――――――――――――

A warrior wrapped in silver rattled armor with many scratches on his face, but his face is always smiling. I wear pot gold on my forehead to my hair that is close to gold.

It's not a history of parallel warfare. It has a style. She has a tough face, but her cheeks are slightly thin. I guess it's a pretty squeezed flesh.

A member of the silver... Is this a member of a group?

――――――――――――――――――――

Blazer

LV: 67

HP: 1539

MP: 129

EXP: 519746

Special: Rigid, Rigid Body, Disease, Aerial Dancer

Title: Kenhao, Rank A, Rigid, Silver Leader, Silver Lion

――――――――――――――――――――

Lightweight silver armor with silver embellished conspicuous straight sword.

With a stern face, but that look seems to entangle a strong will. She has short brown hair and a red cloth around her neck.

You're the most powerful. The status looks balanced and serious.

Does the silver leader mean it's made up of three people?

And you have an alias... somewhere fancy to name it.

――――――――――――――――――――

Betty.

LV: 58

HP: 1072

MP: 146

EXP: 308201

Special: Rigidity, Rigid Body, Disease, Seventh Lunge, Lightweight

Title: Sister, Swordhawk, Rank A, Rigid, Silver Member, Sick

――――――――――――――――――――

He has short yellow hair, a blue bandana, and a light silver breastplate on his blue outfit for easy movement.

Twenty-five, maybe? Still young, but at this age, I guess I'm blessed with considerable training and talent when I become so powerful.

Perhaps...... I'll be Brutes' sister.

Unlike my brother, his face is pretty neat.

――――――――――――――――――――

Azley

LV: 57

――――――――――――――――――――

And we... a status where titles, whether positive or negative, collide with titles.

From what I've seen, me and Porch are really terrible. If it's cruelty, isn't that the level we can put in the Sixth Magistrate?

These five will challenge you to the labyrinth of presumed rank A... I can finally tell you how far I can go when I've grown into a human being, and the purpose of this one is here.

"Yikes! Do you want to head there then!

"Azley, you ask Porch for the rear of the center, the rear of the tail, Brutes and Betty left and right of the center, I'll walk at the beginning. Okay, let's go!

Great instructions. Instantly the magician chose a formation to enter the battle. I guess it's also to see my strength, but without taking me lightly, it's a structure that puts a strong emphasis on overall performance.

As far as I'm concerned I'm inexperienced in group warfare, I learn a lot.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After we left Bailanaea, we headed straight north and began to strive for the Labyrinth Without Return.

The three were quite casual people, much the same as their first impressions.

"I knew it wasn't the same when there was one magician. - Is it light source magic? It's convenient not to need a pine light."

"Yeah, the master is handy!

"Don't you say that. Do it."

"Ha ha, it's rare for a magician to get along with a demon like that."

"Yeah, it's a reciprocal contract in a way."

When I got to that point, Blazer stopped perfectly and dropped his hips a little.

Blutz about the same time as Blazer, but a moment late Betty hands the sword on her hips. It wasn't until after that few beats (,) that I realized.

"Monster, is it?

"No, this is a bandit. Even so, you're young, but you're stuck inside, aren't you, Azley?

Praise me while Blutz pulls out his sword.

These are the real warriors... they still aren't there. No matter how powerful magic you can use, you won't get hit first.

A few seconds later, illuminated by light source magic, six ill-identified people appeared.

"Blues the two on the front right, Betty the one on the left, the three on the front I'll handle"

"Ooh."

"Aye."

"Porch, you be on guard at the rear, Azley, you need backup as appropriate."

"" Yes ""

"Three, two, one... Go!

Blazer's honking echoed on the plains, and with that signal the bandits began to move too.

"Tension up!

Unleash Coverage Magic against Blazer, who will be the most disadvantaged. Porch's watching me behind my back, so I can get backup from a safe place.

Wow, that's all there is to it, but it's easy to fight.

Immediately unleash similar magic on Betty and Brutes and watch for battle trends.

It was still Blazer who immediately understood and acted on my magic content.

He instantly slashed one down using more than usual speeds. Looks like he knocked down one of the following blues.

Betty, entrusted with one, has no way of moving after confronting the enemy. Carefully deceased, or no gap in enemies......

Master, five in the rear, we need backup.

"Tension up! Be careful!

"Master is the one!

Porch rushes backwards, and I shift my guard backwards, too.

The enemy on the far right has a bow... that's dangerous. That's what Porch seemed to decide, and he ran to the right.

"Fire, fire, fire!

To divert the attention of the five enemies who turned their consciousness to Porch, I unleashed a reinforcement bullet.

"Gah!"

Blazer destroys the third. Start running straight to Betty's.

Brutes also defeated the second one, making sure Blazer headed for Betty and started running to me. Great situational decision.

Porch flies to bowman in the rear. But it was dodged backwards, and at the same time the other four began to scatter and flee.

I don't know if it's because I noticed Brutes' proximity or because I was able to confirm our strength, but the bandits just sacrificed five men and fled.

"... what happened?

"Perhaps the bandits with the northern side of Beilanea in Negi, the Laughing Fox. I hear there's constant damage around here."

"I see, I decided I was no match and ran away. That's what happened."

Brutes makes a simple guess as he scratches his head.

"No, Betty's relative enemy... that's probably stronger than me. Betty couldn't move for a reason. In fact, I couldn't move when I ran..."

"Are you serious, Betty?

"True, I thought Azley's magic would make me look good, but the moment I stood in front of him, I thought I pulled a hassle..."

Betty lays down her sword and looks horrible.

"The enemy behind you was inside, too. You managed to repel me because you misjudged my prowess, but was it pretty tight to deal with him alone?

"Damn, you're not following me from the ride. The people who live in the wild are strong..."

Sure, they live in a place not surrounded by walls, always in combat. In a way, I'd say you're more specialized in combat than adventurers.

"Let's just be a little more alert. Porch, if your story is true, it's a bit of a nasty enemy."

"Right."

"Hey, Azley's magic helped! That's a brilliant cover. There were no injuries, but it looks like you helped us deal with our injuries immediately.

"Oh, is it still something you can understand?

"Naturally! There is a battle flow. The will to draw on the flow creates battle and gives an image around. You were right not to move from there."

Looks like he's fightin 'pretty much thinking about it, thinking about his character like he's missing it. I still learn.

"The boulder, the Baylanean Adventurer Alliance, is all you have to push."

"Uhm. Now, take the earlier formation a little larger and move forward while maintaining it. Not much time, but discreet and quick!

Thus began the challenge of our labyrinth.
