It was not long after they headed underground that the three men arrived in the hall where the moving stone statues existed.

"Oh, my God, no one's here."

Says the woman in the hood in the eye. Flirting peeks from the gap are brightly colored hair like natural grapes.

And his whole body is wrapped in purple robes. There was a cane with a bird of fire on the tip of his hand.

"That's right. There's a lot of fragments scattered around here, but there's no sign of them anywhere."

says the girl who gave birth to cat ears. A girl with silver blue hair and clear silver eyes catching her eye.

Lightweight shirt with short sleeves and shorts. The trousers have tail holes that allow you to keep your tail out.

"... but strange, the last sign I felt was definitely from here."

A stand-up man like Black Cloak said on a black robe. He wears a hood at the depth of his eyes, just like a grape.

He was a man with a long skinny body and an overall creepy vibe.

"Bat, are the signs really hitting this way?

"Don't lick it. My strength as a scourge is far higher than that of you, Grape, Corat. I was flying with a reconnaissance bat. I didn't let a man named Nagare get that close to me at first, but I still know how many people and how strong they are."

These three are A-rank superior adventurers. The title is not a decoration, but also a good match for strength.

Bats in particular were also famous as bat-users and had a reputation for reconnaissance abilities using the bats in service.

"Then why aren't you here?

"... I don't know. Could have vanished neglectfully."

"Funya... were you somewhere before the Corats arrived?

"You idiot, it's going to be the main road for a while? Then it's gonna be a bowl somewhere."

"You're right. Besides, my stealth bats are patrolling the labyrinth. Wouldn't be possible to roll around without finding it at all."

The stealth bat utilizes special ultrasound, a bat that even twists and bends the refraction of light and changes from its surroundings to completely invisible.

It does not have the ability to attack, but it is suitable for reconnaissance purposes because it is also possible to clear the signs and fly around.

"But it's true you're not here. What are you gonna do? Give up?"

"Don't be silly. I'm sure there's still some left in this labyrinth. So let's leave the stealth bat here and explore the labyrinth further just in case, and come back in a while to see it again."

Eventually, Bat, Grape and Corat were to go around the labyrinth once they were off the spot.

I didn't even know they were moving in the basement of the place.

"Something strange has come up..."

A row that pierced the holy sword and descended underground on the hidden staircase that appeared.

Ahead of that descent, a quick peach looked around the area, crushing in surprise.

"Yu, just the floor and the stairs, right?"

"Yeah, it looks like we're surrounded by the night sky."

Rosa leaks a confused voice, turning her body around and raising her voice on the spot as Kyle opens her eyes.

"Something seems to have been left in space."

"If you say so - there are many stars."

"Ki, it's beautiful, but I'm a little scared..."

Mai, Megumi and Aika also mouth whatever they want.

Indeed, as the three say, in this place there are only marble floors on which everyone stands and staircases on the main road that you can see ahead, after which they look like one-sided space.

"... the universe?

Then Bitchet tilts his neck and repeats what they said.

Apparently, Bitches, inhabitants of different worlds, have no knowledge of the universe.

Especially if this is the universe that Nagare and the others know about, they wouldn't be able to feel gravity without air, and if it wasn't for Nagare, they wouldn't be able to talk in such a place.

"It's similar to the universe we know, but it's only a pseudo object. This space itself was built with a hefty surgical formula. However, the technology used for magic bags and backs is used, so if it falls, it seems you will never be able to come back. You should be careful there."

But Nagare lightly breaks out who she is.

I told everyone that it was supposed to be impeccable, but if I even stepped off my leg without knowing it, it would be directly linked to death.

Rescue is possible where it fell, especially if Nagare is present, but crisis management capabilities are diminished when it is counted on.

So I dare to teach in advance that it is dangerous.

"Nevertheless, I've really been in a strange space at some point, but what the hell kind of trial is there here?

Megmi asks Ex.

Then, Hmm, and Ex emits.

"Ask the Lord to ascend the thirteenth staircase of this trial"

"What are you talking about, you? I can tell that there are more than one or three stairs."

"That's not what I meant, fool."

The flem that I've made the tea with, Ex gets stunned.

"From here to the next point, look at it as one staircase. It's one or three stairs. There's no way the trials are just going up one or three steps."

"How many steps do we have to go up here?"

Mai groaned anxiously. Indeed, the stairs are high enough to look up.

"If you look at it, it looks like it's more than 10,000 steps."

Heradonna whines.

"Thirteen thousand, thirteen, one, three steps, to be exact."

"Long! No, isn't that strange? We haven't come down that far, have we?

When Nagare stated the exact number of steps, Peach unexpectedly penetrated. Sure, if you think about it normally, it can't be as far up as it was when you came down.

"This place is a pseudospace, right? Dimensions are very different from those on earth, so common sense seems to make things happen."

"Mr. Boulder! But I can't lose! If this happens, I'll let you go up!

'Naturally. The stairs that have already come down are gone. If you want to get out of here, you don't have to go to the top. "

"Huh? Lies?

Megumi's face caught on. I don't know that either. You have to go up these steps one or three times anyway.

But I can't help but blur now. The subpoena also gets ready and starts heading to the point.

But of course, it just didn't end up going up the stairs, and along the way, there were a number of demons unique to this space.

Plus, they're all on a high level, and Mai and others scream but manage to keep up with everyone.

And - a row that managed to climb the first 131,313 stairs, but beyond that existed a temple supported by a roof only with columns.

"I climbed up a lot. And this is the temple of the First Trial."

"Trial one? What the hell am I supposed to do?

Megmi checks with Ex.

'What, it's not a hard story. Each temple has its own guardian. If you can fight it and defeat it, you'll be eligible to move on'

"Well, that's certainly simple and lucid,"

Flem hoisted the corner of his mouth as he fisted. Though I heard it was a battle and it seems to be burning.

"Except you'll have to try one trial at a time."

Ex added such a condition...
