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

"...... Elaine, you really came."

I said it in a quiet voice, and there was no other woman who would hit my cousin, that is, Sylvie, the current Saintess of this country.

The location is in the back of Camea Cathedral... It is a luxurious room in a section where only high-ranking officials are allowed to enter, and it is a room for the [Saintess]. It is a room well furnished with feminine furniture.

She talks about the face-to-face place on a table placed in such a place.

This feels very strange to me... and so does Sylvie.

After all, once, Sylvie and I contested the status of [Holy Maiden].

Even though I'm a cousin, I'm not supposed to get along.

However, the air flowing between each other is rather mild... and confusing.

It was the same for Silvi, and that's probably why it was his first word.

I tell her.

"I didn't think you'd really invite me to the tea party either." I thought it was just a social ceremony..... "

Yes, when I said it in such a place, there was also a possibility that it was the only one... I thought it was mostly so.

But in reality, it was really called this.

It was unexpected.

That's why I can't organize my mind.

Sylvie,

"It's not surprising that you think so." At least, Elaine, I know you don't have a good impression of me. but..... "

And when I tried to tell you something,

- Bang bang!

and the door is opened violently.

"... what is it?"

Sylvie looked like a [Holy Maiden] and said so as if she were standing there.

However, the female guru who entered the room, without being timid about Silvi, approached her in a panic and said something close to her ear.

And as soon as she heard that, Sylvie looked surprised.

"... what is it!?" Oh no... Anna! "

I asked Sylvie because I said it to her.

"... Sylvie, what's wrong with Anna?"

"Elaine..."

Sylvie turns her bewildered expression to me as she asks.

I was wondering if I told you.

I didn't completely solve the discrepancy between me and Silvi, but I thought that Anna was also a student I taught, and it might be better to say that I should think about it.

In fact, I should have known what Sylvie told me right after she made up her mind.

"Elaine... I wonder if you could listen to me." It's about Anna. "

What is it?

”That girl... seems to have dived into the labyrinth”

"Um... is that right now? but....."

I look out the window, but the time is now night.

It is not midnight, but the sun has fallen completely.

We were having a tea party at such a time, but at a time when we were not conspicuous to each other, this happened.

Anyway, I don't care about that kind of situation.

Sylvie continues.

"Right now, I hear that one of the guru apprentices saw Anna heading for the labyrinth." So, I was wondering if Anna was in the college dormitory, and it looked like she wasn't there..... "

"That's... bad." The night labyrinth will be activated by monsters. If you've really dived, you need to go look for it now...! "

As soon as I heard the story, I naturally thought that, and when I got up, Sylvie also stood up, and then with a strange expression,

"Will you go look for me...?"

and asks.

“It's not normal, it's temporary, but it's my student.”

That's right.

There were definitely a lot of things going on between Sylvie and me.

But that's not something I care about right now.

All that matters now is that Anna is safe.

That's why...

Sylvie told me that.

"... Elaine. Please. I'd like to go look for her, too... but I..."

"I know. You are the [Holy Maiden] of this country." I can't go to a dangerous place on my own. "

That's what happened.

Sylvie didn't have any fighting power.

However, it wasn't that expensive, so I didn't think it would be useful where I took it in the first place.

On top of that, I had the means to find it.

Sylvie thought that nothing could be done.

"...... I'll put on you a Holy Knight that can only move me." Please, take Anna..... "

That's what I said.

However, from my point of view, this is just a little disturbing.

Still, I couldn't tell her not to come, so I told her.

"I'm going to the labyrinth first." Just in case, that labyrinth you were using in your practical training, right? "

This was another labyrinth, but it was a problem.

The guru who told Sylvie about Anna nodded to my question, and shortly after confirming it, I jumped out of the cathedral.

◆◆◆◆◆

"...... I wonder if Jill is here"

After using my full strength, I hurried to St. Ark's College and headed for the dorm first.

Then I went straight to the dorm room that Jill was using.

I think it would be a problem if he were in the room with someone, but I couldn't replace his back with his belly.

Fortunately, Jill answers my call and opens the door immediately.

"Elaine, what's the matter?" It looks like you've changed your bloodstream a lot.... "

Looking behind him while saying so, there was a boy student there.

Jill, who was seventeen years old, turned his gaze to me.

"He's my buddy. He's no problem."

In other words, he was also a Demon Clan.

Is it okay to have so many demons in this country of Puppet supremacy?

Unfortunately, I am worried about other countries, but it will not be a matter of concern now.

I tell Jill right away.

"I have a favor to ask you." My students are diving into the labyrinth and I don't know where they are. That's why I want you to help me..... "

Yes, my idea was Jill.

"Even so..."

"Power to me?" Hmm, I don't mind... but I'm not very good at that kind of detailed work... "

He himself does not think it is possible.

That's what I say to him.

”... as I did before, I want you to help me (...)”

Now Jill nods convincedly,

"I see, I understand." Then let's go... how about going to the labyrinth? "

I'm going to strengthen my body and run.

"No, there's a good way."

◆◆◆◆◆

"... amazing. How can the Dragon Man race do this...?"

It was above the sky that I shouted in surprise.

Yes, I was flying now.

Even so, I can't come out on my own.

Magic doesn't mean you can't fly, but it's impossible to fly at such high speeds.

Only creatures that live in the sky can do this.

I mean, now I was on my back.

Do you know what it is?

It's Jill's.

That said, it's not the titanium you've seen before.

If you fly over the Holy Nation in such a state, no matter how high your ability to hide in the boulders, you may notice something.

That's why they've changed a little bit to the size of a small Weyburn.

I was surprised because I didn't think the size was adjustable.

That's what Jill says to me.

"I couldn't do it before, but try practicing the fine force control you mentioned before." Then I could do it. Even among the Dragon Man race, I'm the only one who can do this. It would be impossible for my aunt. "

It seemed like a technique I had recently acquired.

I've wasted his enormous amount of magic power before, and I may have had it in my roots.

However, since you will be trained over and over again, the potential of the Dragon Man Clan is still quite high.

Nevertheless, I am still better at small tech.

At best, I can be proud of people like Jill and Lilly, who are born powerful, so I couldn't get rid of them so easily.

I'm going to keep training without being alarmed, so that I don't get pulled out anyway.

"...... Are you going to acquire more technology? have you stopped being humans anymore.....?"

"That's not true." I've seen people stop being humans, but they're really monsters. "

While Lily was my daughter, she was in fact like that.

I'd rather fight Jill than cut her in the front.

"I don't want to see so many people you've told me about..."

"I can't see you yet, so I'll be fine."

Not yet?

”Yes, not yet... oh, we're almost there”

"Hmm..."

Then Jill goes down.

When I reached the entrance of the labyrinth, Jill and I headed straight for the inside.

For the time being, there was a doorman guarding at night, but he was asleep, so there was no problem.

... no, maybe this was the problem?

When Anna came through here, this would not have happened if they had been awake... "

Thinking like that, Jill glanced at them as they passed, and then murmured.

"... they smelled like the Dark Demons."

"...... No way, are you inside?"

"I wonder... well, it's better not to be alarmed."

"All right... now, Jill." I need your help. "

Once inside, and after a while, I walked through a narrow aisle and suddenly came out into an open space.

This is exactly the labyrinth of space that Sieg and the others have explored, and it feels like the world is going on forever.

But in fact, there is a limit.

That being said, there is no doubt that it is wide, and it is not easy to explore everything.

If you're looking around with manpower, you won't know how many days or months it will take to find Anna.

That's why we needed Jill's help.

Jill nodded to my words,

Um, you can take it on your own.

I said that and offered my hand.

Taking that little hand, he felt a vortex of enormous power in his body.

I interfered with it and refined my magic.

It wasn't an attack system, it was detection magic.

Usually, detection magic is limited to detecting tens of meters around us.

Even if I did, a few hundred to a kilometer would be a good thing.

The reason for the limit was that the magic power was not enough in the first place, even though the technology was weak.

Even if I devised a small amount of magic power and stretched it like a thin, thin mist, it was impossible to detect the entire labyrinth.

However, if there was a huge amount of Dragon Man's magic power here... the story would change.

No matter how much you pump out, the magic power gushing out like an inexhaustible well is braided, spread out and spread throughout the labyrinth.

Every shape you touch rushes through your head as information.

This process can even be a waste if you're not familiar with it, but in my case, it's something I've done a lot of times before.

We could not rule out the possibility of an assassination if we did not detect a range of hundreds of meters around us at all times.

Well, after all, there was nothing I could do before Lily, who was just knocking everything down straight in front of me with force...

Whatever.

"... I found it! But... it's not a shallow layer... why are you here...?!"

Where is it?

While saying that, Jill had already become a dragon and was eager to put me on her back. "It's the deepest part! Inside the temple building there...!"

This labyrinth is flat, with the shallowest layer in front and the deepest part in the deepest part.

However, as it is divided into the shallow layer, the middle layer, the deep layer, and the deepest part, it is as if there is a membrane at the boundary of the monster, and it does not cross that boundary.

Therefore, as long as you are in the shallow layer, you can feel safe that you will only encounter weak monsters, but there is a shrine-like building in the deepest part, and there is an individual called a boss.

Anna is in the room for some reason.

"It looks like he's alive..."

Have you not been attacked?

I don't know.

Anyway, we have to get there.

I asked Jill to fly at high speed to the depths.
