The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

Episode 120: Exploring the Labyrinth of Children's Parties

"... this is the labyrinth...!? Wow, it was in the cave!"

It was my son, Sieghardt, who cried out.

I was keeping my familiar eyes open and watching my surroundings.

Subsequent to that,

"Hey, Zeke, you're in the country..."

And it was only because of the encounter that Sieg had a dazed voice, but now it was Brood, who had settled into most of Sieg's best friend's position.

He was relatively close to his parents and had a sense of common sense, so there was nothing to complain about, but it was surprising.

I fought over there, and there was more or less something left to roast, but I was able to stay here without giving in.

Whether you should exhibit the morality of my son, or whether you should be happy as the teacher who taught him the growth of Brood, who had more measure than I thought.

Either way, there was something reassuring about my child's education policy in this life.

For those two,

"It's nice to be surprised, but I can't keep doing that, neither of you."

In a sober tone, Irina, the daughter of Uncle Occulus.

She has a calm, invisible personality at all times, even at Istvor's college.

The appearance did not seem to change even when I came to a foreign country.

Well, maybe the members who come with us in the labyrinth are just acting like that because there's almost no change from when they were in Istvor.

"But..."

"But Irina, it's amazing." I'm starting to feel like a labyrinth... but when I look at it like this, it's amazing. "

It was Anna, the daughter of Sylvie, the saint of the land, that said.

Yes, in addition to the usual three, Anna was always with me.

And in the labyrinth.

The reason for this is simple: Simon, the dean of the Holy Land, succeeded in making contact with Sieg and Anna by attending a lesson called [Labyrinth Exploration Training] at St. Ark College in this Holy Land.

Originally, [Labyrinth Exploration Practice] was allowed to those who were enrolled in the academy, but Simon bent over and forced them to speed up the timing.

It was difficult to establish contact between Anna and us without doing so, but it seemed that there were other circumstances in the Holy Land.

Regarding the Holy Maiden, Simon originally said that the frequency of "Purification" that had been completed about once every ten years was increasing, but the effect of "Purification" of "Sanctuary" in the Holy Land was extremely sharp, and it also had the effect of reducing the activity of monsters such as labyrinths and magic realms in the Holy Land.

Therefore, within the area where the [Purification] of the Holy Maiden had an effect, the monstrous damage in the Holy Land was very few, and there was also a great support of the people for the Holy Maiden.

However, if [Purification] is starting to become less effective, as Simon said...

In the future, there was a high chance that monster damage would continue in the Holy Land, and there seemed to be high-ranking officials worried about it.

Of course, the fact is kept secret from junior priests and the general public, but it seems that it is urgently necessary to cultivate those who have sufficient strength and experience to counter monsters when the time comes. That is why there is a faction in the Holy Country that insists on throwing young people into combat training as soon as possible.

As for Simon, he is skeptical, but his sect is in the so-called ecclesiastical sect.

Naturally, the Holy Maiden Faction said that "Purification" has had enough effect, and it will continue to do so in the future, and there will be no worries about the future.

However, since the Episcopal Pontiff doubts the power of the Holy Maiden, from the group with the strongest suspicion, it seemed that the idea that "Purification" would ultimately be completely ineffective and could lead to the worst.

That's why it seems that Simon was strict in suppressing their claims, so he always thought that classes and training involving combat, such as [Labyrinth Exploration Training], had to start from where it was possible.

She came there and said that she could use it for the necessary measures for this request.

Certainly, other combat training systems wouldn't be as close as [Labyrinth Exploration Training].

This practice basically takes the form of several students and a lead teacher organizing a party to explore the labyrinth.

Young Siegs differ from the original age and talented students who party by themselves, but need to include teachers.

This is partly due to the convenience of Simon and I, but more than that, the current age of Siegfried... is seven or eight years old, and even if it's a shallow layer, it's impossible for a child to dive in and come back, because there is nothing that can be done about the boulder.

Naturally, monsters appeared in the so-called labyrinth, and the monsters in the labyrinth would never add a palm because they were children.

I panicked and eventually came back as a corpse, which means I don't have a face to match the guardians.

Well, I'm the guardian of Sieg, but even if the other three guardians are my acquaintances, I definitely have to return them alive...

There are many things I think about Sylvie, but it's not about Anna herself.

I had to look into her qualities, but that's all, and returning her safely from the labyrinth was my natural responsibility as a teacher.

"That said..."

"... don't you have to worry too much?"

I mumbled that when I saw how the four of Sieglings had fought in a dangerous battle.

The labyrinth was wide. As Zeke mumbled at first, the entrance was like a cave, but the blue sky was spread out inside, and there was a space that only looked like the outside.

This is not necessarily the structure of a general labyrinth, but it is definitely a common type of labyrinth that is not so uncommon, and it is one of the labyrinths called "Alien Type".

However, space does not really extend everywhere, and for example, you can't fly up the sky everywhere with flying magic.

There's a ceiling, or rather, a head-butting feather.

There are many people who have tried it, and I am one of them.

Of course, the first time I tried it was not in this world, but in the past... "

The reason why I did that was because I was very curious.

Apparently, it's been going on forever, but there's no way out.

I don't think so.

But the reality is true, and I was quite shocked.

I still don't understand what kind of structure it is... but I want to figure it out.

It was a monster that appeared in such a labyrinth, but this was a low-rise area called the shallow layer.

The labyrinth, which exists on the premises of St. Ark College, is as easy to handle as if it were built for educational purposes, and the various elements are well separated.

There were only weak monsters in the shallow layer, and students who were up to that level could dive and take advantage of them.

For example, a goblin.

There are all kinds of monsters close to the Forest Goblin that I destroyed before, such as Glasgow Goblin, which is the main habitat for meadows, and Lesser Slime, which is quite small and cannot be defeated even by children.

That said, even children can't really defeat them, and if they fight normally, one adult male and one glasgoblin are the limit.

However, even though they are seven or eight years old, they all have powerful magical powers in their bodies... that is, they are magicians.

A sorcerer is different from ordinary people in every way, and that's true of his physical abilities.

Above all, if you can learn physical strengthening magic that can't be used by normal humans, and if you can handle low-ranking items, your child can also gain the same strength and maneuverability as an adult male.

To put it another way, the three of my sons here were among the best in Istward's academy, and the magic score was naturally good.

In other words, the rate of usable physical strengthening was considerably higher than normal.

"... body strengthening [Prefortigo]!"

Siegfried, Brood, and Irina mouth each, and a thin membrane-like aura is wrapped around the surface of their bodies.

This is evidence of a physical strengthening.

If I mastered enough, I would lose my magic loss, so this aura would become smaller, but even with them now, there was no problem at all.

Considering that the enhancement rate was also used by children aged seven or eight, it was quite high, rather terrible.

Incidentally, since the magic of the physical strengthening system is not an attribute system, it has been confirmed that even a special attribute magic holder can handle it without a cane as long as they can release their magic power.

That's why Sieg and Irina are using it normally.

Brood is a versatile type with few unwelcome attributes, so it's easy to handle.

Siegfried and Irina were talented, but Brood was also quite talented.

Rather, Brood may be the best choice for ease of use.

Special Attribute Magic Power is a magic that is very habitual in the first place. If it is not handled well, it may be difficult to use.

Well, Sieg's magic and Irina's magic were both powerful, so I didn't have to worry about them, but generally they were.

Anyway, is it about the opponent in front of them now?

Using Physical Reinforcements does not mean you can challenge melee battles with them.

However, even if that is the case, it is only for that purpose that it is most used.

Some sorcerers use physical enhancements to quickly fire their magic on the battlefield as mobile turrets, but this is because it is only possible to use a large amount of magic power and an inexhaustible amount of mental power even if the magic continues to be released.

The Siegfrieds today don't have it.

That's why they usually choose to challenge melee combat.

Martial arts is usually taught at the academy, and when they are in Istvor, they are taught it well.

But not everyone learns the same thing: Sieg learns swordsmanship, Irina learns fine swordsmanship, and Brood learns spearmanship by choosing it.

So, each one has a different weapon.

In addition to this, Anna also had a weapon to teach martial arts at St. Ark College.

It turns out that she has a bow and an archer.

After a short delay from Zeke and the others, she stood her bow, so she seemed ready to fight.

That said, it seemed a little too late... "

"... oh, no. It's over already...!?"

Siegfried had already defeated Glasgow and Lesser Slime as they curled their arrows on the bow.

"I've had a bit too much of a teething... The professors at the academy said that this wouldn't work in the labyrinth, but I think we can go."

Brood said that, but Irina was stunned by this.

"Hey, this is a shallow layer." That's a labyrinth well managed by the Academy... even if you're not a magician, it's a place where you can dive normally. Even if you use magic to defeat monsters like that, you won't be so impressive. "

"[]/(exp, n-adv

Her opinion was certainly correct, but it seemed a little harsh.

Same goes for Zeke.

"Irina, but it's our first victory, so let's be even more happy!" Hey!? "

I said, and I peered into his face.

Irina's face turned a little red,

"I-I get it... yeah. Well, this time it might be nice... ah, but I'm sorry I couldn't leave Anna an enemy."

Along the way, she was shy and turned away. She approached Anna and said so.

Anna was stunned at first, but she shook her head to the side,

"No, it's okay. I'm not that good at fighting... but they were amazing!" Next, I'd like to try my best..... "

That's what I said.

If we both find a monster next time, I'll leave it for Anna to finish it off!

Irina told the boys that,

"Oh, oh..."

Got it!

That's how Brood and Sieg reacted.
