"Kurt? That sounded like the lowest level earlier?
Maries's voice is trembling asking that question.
"You're not mistaken."
"Shit, are you crazy? When it comes to the lowest level of the Treasure Labyrinth, it is a land no one has yet reached. I didn't know you were going to go there..."
Try to roll it up quickly. Maries tried to stop me, but you noticed something along the way.
"... well, if it's Kurt, you're going to be able to do it"
And he exhaled.
"That's right, Maries. 'Cause it's Kurt, right?
"Kurt doesn't have the impossible"
Lara and Cynthia have the same attitude as we know from the beginning.
"... no matter how impossible it seems, it's Kurt. I've been feeling like I could handle it."
"Hmm. It's not impossible for me, and it's a good thing Maries is figuring it out... what is it? I don't know what it's like not to say."
"Of course, we'll follow you."
"Naturally. Besides... the experience of going to the lowest level of the underground labyrinth, albeit quite small, will be immeasurable"
"I can't believe the Treasure Labyrinth is small..."
Maries is pounding her mouth.
In my view, Lara and Maries and Cynthia are no match for each other in the upper levels of the Treasure Labyrinth.
Lara and Maries were able to defeat the Dark Demon by joining forces.
The path of pu (...) tong (...) does not allow sufficient experience.
Then it would be a reasonable decision if I thought about the two of you to have them follow me to the bottom.
"So... when are you going to go? We need to get ready..."
"Today."
"Today...?
Maries' expression hardens.
"So more to the point, I'm going to get to the bottom of the line by the end of the day."
"... are you serious about that?
"I mean it."
Put your arms around me, and I'll make sure of Maries.
He also said, "It's impotent!" What do you mean, they disagree?
... and Maries continued to sigh like this.
"... I get it. If you say you can kurt, you can."
"Believe me more than anything."
But what is it?
From now on, this unswallowable emotion.
◆ ◆
I took Lara, Maries and Cynthia and dived quickly into the Treasure Labyrinth after school.
I thought it was weird from the start.
Arriving smoothly to the third level, I looked back at the three of them, and I started talking with such cutouts.
"Weird...? You mean these three layers?
Lara puts her neck up.
"Oh. Three layers, so much so that they were also in the range of interactive warfare with the Empire. I think the danger is less than in the lower echelons, and many students have stepped in so far"
Until I got here honestly, no decent traps were installed, and only fairly weak demons like Lizardman and others emerged.
That is the same thing with the three layers.
However... there was only one obviously heterogeneous presence in the three layers.
"And yet... how can there be a demon called Behemoth?
Yes, it is.
When we first set foot on three levels of the Treasure Labyrinth.
I ran into Behemoth, who seems to be designated a Disaster Class.
A thousand years ago, I was delayed in realizing that Behemoth and other weak demons were like children hunting for practice.
In this age, even if Behemoth is one, it causes great damage to villages and towns.
That's why the Disaster Class has been designated.
"I thought it was a coincidence then. In the first place, I didn't really care because Evilbird and Behemoth, the junior demon, were similar."
But many times since then, when I dived into the Treasure Labyrinth.
Quite infrequently...... I had encountered Behemoth several times.
On second thought, this is crazy.
Why would a demon feared as a Disaster Class appear on three levels?
From the demons that appear on the three levels, Behemoth is clearly a deviant (...) detached (...) being.
There I read that Tips for Treasure Labyrinth Attack were hidden.
"First of all... the three of us know that a labyrinth means that something like a hidden passage can exist that can be shortcut?
"" "Huh?
Three people align their voices.
"I might think of a path when I say a hidden passage... But that's not true at all, and there's something like a transfer device with a dimension connected to it. So we can transfer different layers in an instant."
"K, Kurt! Is that true?
Was it your first ear, Lara turns her eyes round.
Well, I can't help it.
A thousand years ago, I found this hidden passage present in what I call the underground labyrinth of the world.
That was revolutionary for adventurers, but few were effectively available.
Because.
"We must show the Labyrinth our strength."
"What do you mean?
"For example, we try to find a place where we can transfer from layer to layer thirty. Then we need to show the labyrinth what kind of strength we can tread lightly on the thirty levels."
"It's like the labyrinth is trying adventurers."
"Maries. That's odd to say."
In fact, I knew there was a hidden passage, but I don't see how something like this could be prepared.
As Maries said, the labyrinth is putting out trials against adventurers... is a solid idea I've been thinking about.
Nothing, a labyrinth, everyone doesn't have to go for the bottom tier.
By the time you get there, you'll be able to pick up demonic materials and items that are falling.
But... if there's a situation where you want to get to the bottom level quickly, you won't have a hand in not using this.
"I call that hidden passage The Secret Way. I would like to shortcut the labyrinth dramatically this time through its Secret Path."
"I understand what Kurt is trying to say. But... where is that?
"Try that now"
That's what I said, and I took a certain magic guide out of my chest.
"Ah."
Look at that, Cynthia speaking up first.
"Looks like Cynthia noticed. Yes, this is the magic guide the Maynard of the Four Wise Men had."
Maynard was using this to lure demons to the king's capital.
Since then, I've been picking up this magic guide and analyzing it to see if I could use it.
"That said, if you use it, I understood it in 1 (...) 0 (...) minutes (...)"
At first glance, activate the device with a magic guide that also looks like a necklace.
Then magic, similar to ultrasound, spread through the labyrinth.
"Did you really use it?
"Oh, maybe Lara and the others can still sense it."
For a thousand years now, the more powerful demons you run away from me, the harder it was to fight was a source of worry.
But with this device...
"Wow! Behemoth's coming this way!
"And the hell... two... no, three too!
Turning up the ground, I saw Behemoth rushing from across the horizon.
"All right... we're going to hunt Behemoth for four now"
"Wow, are we here?
Maries' expression strengthens.
"That's right. Thirty targets for now."
"Thirty bodies? Are you insane?
"Oh. I'm fine. I'll help you this time, but if the three of us are strong enough, we should be able to defeat twenty or thirty Behemoths.
"So, but... deal with Disaster Class"
"I'm guaranteeing the strength of the Maries. Can't you trust me?
At first they were three people who were scared, but when I said that, they changed the color of their eyes.
"Right. If you're saying you can do it, it's possible."
"Me and Maries, we beat hundreds of demons before, so hey! Thirty of them would have made it easier."
"... Cynthia works hard too"
Hmm. Reliable.
Lara and Maries are growing pretty fast.
Cynthia still doesn't fully understand how to use landmark magic... but with us, strength should have caught up soon.
"All right......! I'm gonna fold it all up at once!
Then we joined forces to hunt for Behemoth.
As we look, Behemoth is defeated and the number is reduced.
But Behemoth pushed from the next to the next after being caught by the magic guide.
Honestly, if it's Behemoth, I can handle it alone... I didn't actively get my hands on it because I thought the three of them would earn some experience.
And in half an hour...
"Ha, ha. We really defeated thirty Behemoths...!
Thirty bodies of Behemoth were stacked in front of them.
"Well... from here on out"
If I had been right, this would have activated the Secret Way.
That's what I thought, arrowhead.
"Be, Behemoth's body has glowed!
As Maries said, a dazzling light began to shine from Behemoth, which was stacked like a mountain.
All right!
As expected, apparently it was a hit.
"After all... Was defeating Behemoth in large numbers the key to the Secret Way?"
That's what I say.
The light from Behemoth gradually changed to a larger ball size.
To analyze the magic... if I jumped in here, I would have been able to transfer to the fifty-seventh level in an instant.
"But how can something like this show up just to defeat Behemoth?
"I told you, this is a trial from the labyrinth. We showed the Labyrinth our strength by defeating Behemoth in large numbers."
Depending on the labyrinth and layers, there are a wide variety of conditions for the emergence of the Secret Path.
To find it, you can't just have power and no wisdom.
This time there was the presence of Behemoth, who, thinking from other demons, clearly deviated. Whether you notice it or not was the key to the emergence of The Secret Way.
"All right... get in here quickly and we'll get to the fifty-seventh floor"
And in my reading, there's a good chance that the Secret Way (Secret) will exist again on level 57.
The underground labyrinth is a mechanism that allows you to arrive quickly through the Hidden Paths (Secrets) to the lowest level, if you have the strength to do so.
I have to keep my head spinning so I can find it again.
"Well, I'm fine. I don't know what 57 layers are..."
"What, Lara? It's okay, 'cause it's like getting ink from the labyrinth that it's easy to attack fifty or seven layers. You just have to be confident."
When I said that, the three of them snorted forcefully.
