"Ha... ah no... this ruin is huge after all"
"Ngu, uh, puha... it's like a maze, and Mummy's all over it."
I continued my search for the ruins and finished exploring a lot of the fairly wide areas I am now.
Now I'm just taking a break, drinking water in a water bottle and wrapping up the story.
Because it's a ruin in the desert, or it's pretty hot even if you're inside and don't have the light of day.
If you don't hydrate regularly, you're going to fall down with heat stroke.... I also need to take salt.
"Is Estelle and Luna okay? I'm gonna take a break if it's hard, so you're gonna tell me right away, okay?
"Yeah... it's a little hot, but I think it's better than your brother or Norr"
"I don't change my temperature that much. It's no big deal."
They care about Estelle and the others with smaller bodies, but on the contrary they told me they were more worried about me and Knoll.
It's really so hot because you're wearing helm and armor. I may be the hottest for a full face helm and a borough cloth.
Luna feels like she can still afford it without a sweat.
Looking at these places, I think you're a vampire after all.
"I'm usually talking about places for C-rank, but with so much mummy gushing, can we really break through?
"Hmm, maybe this unusual number is one of the weirdest"
I heard it was a place to make money for C-rank, but given the number of mummies out there, I wondered if that was really the case.
I've already finished over 40 bodies since I got inside, but if a guy like this came out wheeling, wouldn't it be tough to skip the Flaum Mummy thing, even if it's a regular C-rank?
I think this is probably one of the monumental anomalies. Strong demons get more numbers... it's like a big crusade.

"Hmm? This place...... did you go here?
"Hmm, I don't think there was a room there, huh?
I ended my break and started exploring the interior of the site again.
I tried to get down the stairs that continued down here, but before I did, I found a part of it that bothered me in the map app.
From the map app, you can see isolated spaces with no roads connected anywhere.
You know these hidden parts, too, because they just come within a certain range and appear on the map app. I've never explored indoors before, so this is a new discovery.
"Wall...... right. So you're saying maybe we'll go somewhere else?
"Maybe it's the room where you go to solve some trick! It kind of feels like an authentic exploration!
If you move to that place and look where the room is, it's still not connected to the other room and there's only a wall.
Is this the kind of guy who does something to open the door of a secret room, the flavor of a relic system?
Knoll is excited to shake his boom arm up and down. That's kind of exciting, isn't it?
... I'm in a hurry right now, so I'd like you to give me a break if you can.
"What do you say? Did you find anything?
"Mmm... I can't find anything."
"I had nothing."
While Luna and I were alerting the neighborhood, Nole and I looked around and checked the walls, but we couldn't find anything.
Isn't it possible that somewhere in the wall can push it, or pull the lever and the wall opens?
Do you want to destroy the walls already and force them to break in... No, I'm scared if the ruins collapse, so let's stop them.
"Mr. Okura, there was a hole over here."
If you're worried about what's going on, it looks like Sissha found a hole in the corner a little further away.
When they called me and I went that far, there was indeed a small hole that seemed to allow only one child to pass through.
If you look at the map app, they didn't see it all, but the elongated path stretches toward the hidden room, so you can just break into the room from here.
It's in the corner and the road is narrow, so you didn't catch on to the map app...... From now on, I'll have to walk around every corner properly.
"You couldn't see behind the stone statue."
"Didn't you solve the mystery..."
Because Knoll is too simple, or he makes his mouth pointy and seems a little sorry.
The hole was apparently hidden behind the stone statue, and Sisha retreated it and found this.
I have a stone statue about 2m... well done on moving it.
"Does that mean getting into that room from this hole?
"I guess so. But... this little hole, Estelle or Luna is the only way to get through it."
Estelle or Luna are the only ones in the world that are going to get into this hole.
But I'm anxious to send you to a place like this where only one person doesn't even know what's out there.
But I don't know what I have if you don't go.
If I were to let you go, I guess a strong runa in close proximity. Estelle would be dangerous because she is unintentionally vulnerable, and she doesn't like to move hard.
"Luna, I'm sorry, can you take a look? I'll get the beacon ready, so if anything happens, just press the transceiver and signal me."
"Uhm, okay"
This isn't a labyrinth and it's the same hierarchy, so the beacon should work.
I gave Runa the transceiver and I just installed a beacon near the hole.
I can use the beacon once to try it and move it myself, but I can use it without any problems.
If anything happens with this, don't call me back as soon as you contact my smartphone.
She just crawled on all fours and slipped into the hole.
"Are you okay, Mr. Luna..."
"Don't be such a dick. You know enough about Luna, don't you?
"So, but..."
After Luna was in the hole, Sisha has been moving her body softly and looking worried.
You're repelled like every day, so you should be savoring your strength with that body enough... you really like Luna.
I'm a little nervous too, but she wouldn't be able to do it unless she was a strong opponent.
Then after about a few minutes, I got an incoming call to my smartphone, so don't answer the call. I picked the beacon and moved the runner.
"Are you all right?
"Yeah, hey. Oh, there was no demon at all. Instead, it was the only box I had left."
Luna, who moved in front of us, had a big box. It's like an iron box, and when she puts it on the floor, it sounds dostly dull and pretty heavy.
Upon checking the box, the top lid part is rounded and looks like a chest, made of longitudinal iron.
There is a keyhole in the front part of the lid and it is naturally locked.
"Is it a treasure chest in a place like a hidden room! You're worried about the contents!
"Oh, but it looks like it's locked? We need to find the key somewhere."
Is Knoll excited to see the crate or is he making a noise as he wanders around the box?
Estelle calmly checks the box, but concludes there's nothing she can do without the keys in the end.
Hmm, I'm curious about the contents of the box, too, but if you're bothering to look for the keys, that sounds like a hassle.
This ruin is pretty big, and as I was just doing, if I was rolling around looking for a hidden passage again, I'd be running out of time.
Any good means......
As I figured out if there was any other way, I caught sight of the Excalibur I had.
Maybe if I use this... maybe I should.
"Knoll, will you hold this crate?
"Fine... but what are you going to do?
I asked Knoll to hold the iron chest from the top.
Knoll and the others look at me with wonder when I ask for that favor.
Hehe...... you won't have to bother looking for the keys. My power now would do it, I'm sure.
"All right, let's go. Ugh!"
"Hey, what are you doing, Osakura!?
"When it comes to chatter, you start doing a hell of a thing..."
I stabbed the Excalibur at the gap between the lid of the chest and the box that they held me down.
And as it is, move it up and down with the gouge to move the lid forcefully.
What are the Knolls doing to my behavior?
Ignoring such a voice, I moved it gooey many times.
Then the gap between the boxes widens with the crisp sound of whether the limit has finally been reached.
... Success. Glad this is just an iron box. We could have destroyed it properly!
"Ugh! Now we're all short on time at once!
"It's like I'm not a bandit..."
"You ruined the flair of exploration..."
Estelle and Luna, who were watching apart, are whining about that in a voice that looked at me like they were frightened.
I really think the flavor of exploration is important. But depending on the time, the case, and the chatter, we can't prioritize that. I want you to understand.
"Hmm? There's a key in the chest again, huh?
"You look a little extravagant in gold."
Confirming what the contents were, it was the gold key that was in them.
Uh, another key in the chest. But if this is the only luxurious key, it's probably the key that matters.
Could it be that we had to look for other keys until we got to this key?
Then I feel like I'm destroying the procedure considerably... but, well, I'm in a hurry, okay?
●
As we went down the stairs leading down, we now came out into an even bigger square.
The ceiling is also quite high, a place that I don't think is inside the pyramid.
Behind you there are multiple pieces of pointy stone that glow green and appear to be growing out of the wall.
Is that the special Demon Light Stone?
"Are we done here? You kind of got it in the back. No particular change except for Fullerum Mummy?
"There's no boss like the Goblin Labyrinth, and this is where it ends."
"Doesn't this mean it's a labyrinth?
In the end, the only demon I encountered by the time I got here was Mummy.
The only thing that can be called an anomaly is the number of fullerum mummies and mummies, and nothing that seems to cause it.
This is unknown, and this hunting ground is going to be off-limits. Well, I just found out that something's going on internally, but it doesn't make any difference that I've accomplished my B-rank promotion request.
But chatter is more of a problem as it is. I just retrieved that demonic stone and left the ruins, attack! I don't think so.
If you don't put your smartphone on a mysterious board like the Goblin Labyrinth, there won't be a tactical decision.
When that happens, it's thick that this was originally a place with nothing... damn, you mean you have to give up chatter after all?
"Heihachi, that wall over there, it's kind of unnatural."
"Hmm? Where?
In the meantime, I'm trying to retrieve the Devil's Light Stone and find anything else, and Luna is pointing to a part of the wall and saying it's weird.
When I approached it, I found that there were rectangular areas with slightly brighter colors compared to other walls.
"The map app also shows that there's some space ahead."
"Is there something ahead?
"Oh, there's something like a keyhole over here."
The range I approached and added to the new map app showed that there was quite a lot of space.
Definitely, there's something beyond this wall.
Looks like Knoll spotted the keyhole, too, and he's asking me to hurry up as he points there.
I don't know if it will open with the key I just gave it a try. Destroy it if you can't... are you okay?
"Whoa, you're open."
"You're lucky to open it with the key you just got."
"So Heihachi was right in a way."
I was worried about destroying it but going ahead, but when I gave him the key, the wall went down and I could make my way.
I knew this key was important...... I just destroyed the box and got it. My actions didn't seem wrong.
When I went inside, unlike the atmosphere of the ruins earlier, it was a place where the entire wall emitted slight light.
It's like... it's a labyrinth.
"This is the guy in the goblin labyrinth, right?
"Right. If you put a smartphone on here, the ruins will attack... What is it?
"But there's a door in front of you, isn't there? There's going to be more."
Proceeding to the middle, in the center there was something like a plate supported by a stick stretched from the ground where the last of the goblin labyrinth was.
Also, you mean put a smartphone on this, right? I mean, does this mean the ruins are over?
But if you look in the back, as Knoll says, you can see that there are two open doors that are quite large.
... I have a kind of a bad feeling about this.
It doesn't start with something I won't try for now, so I decided to shake my smartphone.
I have trouble with being suddenly flown with metastatic magic, like before, so that we don't all snuggle our bodies somewhere apart.
The moment I put my smartphone on the board, the black door behind me glows green and opens on its own making a giggly and heavy sound.
Behind the door is darkness, and it's like I don't know what's ahead.
"... you're open"
"It's not the end, it's the beginning."
"Mmmm... I thought I could go home, but it still goes on"
I wondered if this was the end of the search for the ruins, and what was at the end was the entrance to the labyrinth......
Does this ruin mean that it was only the entrance to the labyrinth? That's a very luxurious front door.
Looks like Luna was expecting it to be over, but when it still goes on, she looks disgruntled.
While we were on guard, we began to move ahead of the newly opened doors to really attack the labyrinth.
