The moment the magic formation appeared and my vision stained, I suddenly lost the feeling of the ground at my feet.
I thought I felt floating shortly afterwards and fell.
My body falls down somewhere.
"Puff!? Ata - Taa!?
"Aah!"
You hit the ground. Strong impact on your back.
And like a chase, something fell on the unprotected groin area with protective equipment.
It hurts so bad...... what, what happened?
"Itata... what the hell..."
"Ah..."
I was experiencing intense severe pain in my lower body and I couldn't move properly, but I can hear Sissha from above me.
Apparently, she was the one who fell over me.
"Ugh!? Hey, what are you doing, Mr. Ogura!?
"Oh, you must have fallen..."
She noticed me underneath, and she jumped off top of me like she was jumping.
I can't believe you asked me what I was doing, even though I didn't like it and I was underlying it...
"There he is... at all, give me a break"
"Excuse me...... rather than that, where am I? And what about Mr. Knoll and the others?
"Huh?"
When I get up and look around, too, I'm surrounded by green, shining rocky walls. It's the same place as the labyrinth.
And there's only me and Sissha here.
I got up, walked around a little, looked for them, and I didn't see them.
"Also, maybe there's no Knoll and Estelle?
"Apparently, it's just us."
"Duh, what am I gonna do... yes! Put the beacon down - we're out of stock!? Then the escape device... no!
In a hurry I took out my smartphone and tried to get the beacon out.
Because the beacon just doesn't connect to what's out there, and I thought if we were on the same floor in the labyrinth, we should be able to get the radio.
But the last one I installed at home yesterday. So I don't have it with me right now.
The next time I tried to use an escape device, it said that this could not be moved away more than a certain amount of time.
If I use it now, Sissha and I might be the only way out of here.
Shit, this sucks. If we stay like this, we'll just have to move on with Sisha and me. I'm very anxious.
Besides, are the Knolls okay? I wish I had been flown to a strange place......
"Please calm down, Mr. Okura. We have to stick together first. If the beacon isn't working, shouldn't you be able to get in touch with the transceiver or give it a try?
"Oh, yeah."
Right, there was a transceiver!
Sissha urged me to calm down, and I tried to use the phone's call function to get in touch with Knoll's transceiver.
"Yes, this is Knoll."
After a few tour and coll sounds, I heard Knoll.
Hey, good. The transceiver can also be used in the labyrinth.
"Oh...... good. Are you okay?"
"Looks like you're safe, too. More importantly..."
I don't see her, but I'm relieved they're safe.
Switch the call to the speakerphone so that it also sounds like Sissha.
Knoll's voice heard from the smartphone also sounded a little relieved.
Maybe he wasn't anxious to see us there either.
"Estelle's with you, isn't she?
"It's with you. Is Sissha with you?
"Oh, yeah"
Before we were transferred, Sisha and I were close and Knoll and the others were slightly behind us.
Perhaps the subtle difference changed the position of the metastasis.
This is just my prediction, and possibly the original party-splitting trap.
"So do you know where you are now?
'I have no idea. It's a bright labyrinth, isn't it?
"That's right. It's a green wall, isn't it?
"Yes, it is."
The labyrinth continues to have the same sight everywhere.
So that doesn't give us any certainty that we're in the same place.
But I think it's probably the same place. Sometimes I get anxious again if I don't think so...
'I didn't establish that it's the same place, but for now it's the same place. We have to rendezvous. "
"Sounds like it. I'll be moving around looking in the map app as well, so I'll be in touch when I'm in range. If anything happens, just let me know."
'Yes, sir. Take care, Okura-kun. I want you to protect Lord Okura, too. "
"Yes, I got it."
The convergence also led to a convergence of opinions, which ended the call.
Even if you try to find it in the map app, it doesn't show up very extensively in the labyrinth.
If you look at it now, the red dots of the demons are visible, and the blue dots that are the markings of the party can only be ascertained for me and Sisha.
So first, we need to expand the area where we can walk around and display it. That way, even if you don't go with Knoll and the others, you can go back and join them because they will appear in the map app.
"You seem safe and at ease."
"Oh good...... but I'm anxious. With two of the main firepower out, are we gonna be okay? I'm letting you hold the potion over there, but are you okay?
If there's a problem, you've lost your firepower to extremes.
Too far away from that, I don't know if her ability, the buff, will fit in properly as well. There is no further strengthening of Estelle's physical abilities.
We have a better sense of stability because we have me on defense and a Cissha that we can recover from... we may not be able to handle it if a lot of enemies arrive.
Besides, can I protect Sissha by myself?
"Right...... I think Mr. Knoll and the others will be fine. Once balanced in proximity and distance. If you're worried, it's us."
I'm pretty sure they'll tell me to worry about myself more than I worry about them in terms of strength.
Like Sisha said, it's close and far... this one's a cleric for once, even though Sisha looks like a monk.
I have to protect her from being attacked.
"So let's keep going! It doesn't even start when you think about all the dark things!
"Right..."
... wouldn't it start if you were worried?
Now let's move forward positively and join them as soon as possible.
At times like this, Sissha's hazy feelings seem reliable.
"Well, Mr. Knoll asked me to do the same, and I'll do my best to protect Mr. Ogura!
"Normally I think the opposite is true..."
Sisha is squeezing her hands tight and in a gutsy pose. I'm motivated.
I thought I'd protect you earlier... but I regret that she said she'd protect me more convincingly.
●
It's been awhile since I've decided to move on, but Knoll's reaction still doesn't show up in the map app.
Now that I've just been out in a spacious place, I'm taking a break from making sure there's no demons.
I'm taking a break from taking off my helm. It's also hard to wear a full-face helm all the time, so this is how I remove it occasionally.
"Ha, that's a long time... how big is it here? Knoll and the others aren't even on the map at all."
"Right...... I'm still ok because my enemies are weak, but if I were strong I might have been in danger"
The demons that show up in this place are still goblin. Now it even appears to be Red Goblin, but to the extent that we can handle it now without any problems.
Black goblins came out too, but I couldn't take them down without stabbing them more than two times with my offense.
Even I had a blow when Knoll was around, so let's just assume that this doesn't have the effect of her buff on us right now.
There are more demon stones even when we haven't defeated the demons, so it looks like Knoll and the others are moving on to defeat the demons.
When I see that, I feel safe, but I'm still anxious and restless that they're not close. I don't know how many sighs I've had already.
"No, but I didn't think I'd be alone with Mr. Okura in this way."
"What? Uh, yeah. Right."
Sissha, who was sitting next to me, said that all of a sudden.
It's like riding out and peeking into my face.
I'm kind of embarrassed to look directly at her face and reply as I look elsewhere a little.
You're really beautiful if you keep your mouth shut......
"I've always thought Mr. Ogura wouldn't look me in the face and talk to me properly, would he?
"Huh!? I don't think so..."
"Is it true? Then let's stare at each other now. Yes, Jee."
"Whoa!? Hey, close!
His face was fixed with both hands and he was prevented from making any residual findings.
And he smiles at me directly from the front. It's close enough to hear you exhale.
I can't move my neck and try to escape, but it's fixed so tightly that it's pinched with all my might, it doesn't move at all.
It was pointless to grab a rock with my hand and move my body back and forth to jitter.
What, why!? Why are you doing this!?
"Whew!?
"At all, Mr. Okura is the same."
"Atata... what are you doing! What do you mean, the same?
The moment his body moved to move behind him, Sisha let go of his hands in good time. I hit my back against the back wall because of it.
Sissha, who is still in front of me, is kind of Nico.
"Do you say the reaction is initial or fresh? Watching you in trouble or shy makes you want to mess around more because you're kind of cute. The first time I met him, he was so responsive."
You suck! He sucks!? You enjoyed looking at me...
I think I've been looking at Niyanya and me for a long time, but I can't believe I thought of that.
And he said he's cute... I hope he doesn't say anything frightening. At least make it cool or something......
"You... you have a good personality"
"I don't want Mr. Ogura to tell you, you pervert staring right into your chest as soon as you meet him"
"Become!?... because that... I see it..."
"Ugh, I'm showing you"
Uh-huh, I was looking at your chest the first time. I'm finding out... Besides, her chest was in sight and she was chasing her with her eyes.
Was that on purpose, too? Seriously... was I swimming?
"Well, let's make the joke around here. Is it time to move on? We need to rendezvous with Mr. Knoll and the others soon."
"Oh, oh..."
After a bit of laughter, Sisha stood up and reached out to me. Take that hand and I'll stand up.
With a little confusion, I decided to move on again with her.
Kind of slightly, but I feel lighter when it was heavy.
