Diving through the open door, the stairs continued down again. The size is there, and there's enough for five of us to spread out to the side and walk.
Continued straight to the back, the green glow of the walls and floors gradually increased, and the staircase ended and exited into a straight passage.
That seems like the same place as the usual labyrinth, but the atmosphere is a little scarier than usual because the construction is still ruins and glows green.
Based on my last reflection, this time I decided to give everyone a transceiver and an escape device before going in.
Even if something happens now, we can contact them and we can get out of here.
"... All right. I'll take the lead this time, so Knoll needs the back of the 1st."
"Heh? Is Lord Okura leading the way!? What's wrong with you?
When it comes to ruins, there seem to be a lot of traps and such, and I would be in the lead if I were to be highly resistant and defensive to state anomalies.
Don't worry if you leave the back to Knoll with the highest status.
That's what I suggested, but Knoll is surprised to hear that I'm in the lead and put my hand on his mouth.
... you're too surprised at everything.
"It's not that surprising, is it?
"Who put me in the lead when I said I was leaving before..."
I brought up the old story again... and that did happen.
But now that I'm fully equipped and level, I'm sorry I can't rely on Knoll forever.
I'm gonna prove to you that I can work properly, too!
"Well, let's make sure your brother protects you."
When I meant it that way, Estelle hugged me from behind.
"Here! Don't hug me! Estelle, stay in everyone's center as long as you can!
"Ah."
Estelle and Sisha are low on defense, so I want to make sure they stay at the center of the party as easy as possible to protect.
That's why I slowly peeled off the ester that came with me.
Then she leaks her voice down and frowns and looks up at me with a sad look.
"Ugh... if anything happens, I'll protect you, so don't look like that"
"Oh... hehe, I'm so glad you said that"
It was kind of heartbreaking to watch, so I accidentally did it with the words Sisha had said before that she wanted to be said.
Estelle, who heard that, was in a good mood for laughter with Nico when the sad atmosphere she had just had ceased to be like a lie.
What about switching? You're not acting... are you? Have you been set up?
When I was stunned by Estelle's speed of switching, I saw Sissha nibbling with her hands on her mouth.
You look like a great fun guy, dude.
"Hey, what is it?
"Ugh, it's nothing."
"I simply thought I would not protect you because I am the most defensive! Better than that, if anything happens, you'll be well healed!
"Absolutely, you're not being honest. We will recover properly, so proceed with confidence."
I guess you remember when I said the same thing to Sisha before.
I'd have trouble prolonging it and being told extra things, so I cut the story off early and I started moving on.
When I look back in a chill, I can see Sissha and I are laughing at Niyaniya again.
Damn... I knew you weren't going to say anything embarrassing...
"Oh man. You guys have been doing this all along? You don't seem nervous."
Luna, who was listening to our conversation in silence, opened her mouth with a frightened voice.
He said he did go into the labyrinth, but he might have been a little too distracted.
"I guess it's better than being too nervous."
"I'm just saying be a little more careful. Look, there's a demon in front of you."
When Luna points to the passage that leads straight to the back, she sees something like a gudgy green liquid from the floor.
And it began to thrive, and gradually changed shape, and at the end of the day it became like a man's hand.
It's like you're growing arms off the floor... it's so creepy to watch.
It's like a demon, and let's check its status.
――――――

――――――
Hmm? Weak, huh? But I'm worried about tying my skills.
Low HP doesn't make it a threat, but is it disturbing character?
I'm getting closer to keeping it down for now.
But Ligasmanus disappeared into the back with Gujguju in a liquid-like state again before entering my offensive range.
Quite fast, because of its subtle agility.
"Did you escape... Better than Mummy, but this could be a bad demon."
"If you suddenly come out of the ground or the wall and get grabbed, it could be dangerous."
Ever since Frogman the demon who runs away from himself.
I don't mind not having to fight, but if they grab me when I'm fighting other demons or when I hang on a trap, I'm going to be in trouble.
In that sense it could fall into a pretty nasty category among demons so far.
After encountering Rigasmanus and then going down the straight aisle for a while, he now came out to a place with a slightly wider area and several entrances to the room.
Hmm, is it a little like a maze from here... this looks like a mess.
I just walked into the room I noticed and took a step...
"Whoa!? Oh, abuuuuu..."
The moment I stepped into the room, something came from above like a pendulum with the sound of a sudden wind cut from left to right.
Normally, it was inevitably fast, but thanks to Excalibur, it was increasing its speed of action, so I go back and manage to dodge it.
Shortly after avoiding it, Bacon, and made a noise and something like a green square stone bumped into each other, stopping as if to block the entrance.
"Looks like there's a trap."
You've been very responsive, Osakura.
"I don't know what to do after seeing it thanks to Excalibur..."
And I thought I was going to die... you're a trap who's totally coming to kill me with his first hand... glad I caught you.
I probably would have been fine with being crushed, but if I could, I wouldn't want to hit it.
In terms of speed of action, was it appropriate in a sense because I was the first of these early? Good to have. Excalibur.
Then I started exploring other rooms, but experienced various traps, with arrows and spears flying from around the moment some of the floors sank, and a room with approaching ceilings when I took a jewel that got stuck in the wall.
... I want you to give me a break.
"Ha... ha... ma, not many demons, but not many traps?
"Maybe it's over here for the lack of a trap in the upper ruins."
"This would certainly be nice for Heihachi to go first"
Even though there were no traps at all before we entered the labyrinth, this is a bargain sale for traps.
I'm not injured because I manage to prevent it all, but I have something coming mentally.
The demon only comes out with the same mummy and rigus manus as above, so it's a lot warmer when it comes to combat.
I recovered the jewels and stuff because I think I need them, but I don't want to see them that scary.
I want to finish this labyrinth quickly and chat slowly at home......
"Finally a big room.... What, like those balls in the middle?
"It's kind of like watching. You might want to be careful going into this room."
"Ah, there's a chest in the back!
We explored multiple rooms and finally discovered a passage that leads to another location, so we move on.
The main road passage leads to the back again, but along the way there is a room for potpourring.
And one of them was a fairly spacious room, with crystal-like balls fixed on the pedestal in the center, and a red circle moving gleaming through the crystal looking all over the room. You're like a mono eye.
Behind the room is a crease, and there is a chest that appears to be made of larger iron.
Feels like I saw it. That crystal looks like it's being watched not to be taken. Does that mean that that crate contains important objects?
The crystal movement seemed to be alive, so I checked to see if there was a status before entering the room.
But there's no response to the status app. I mean, that wasn't a demon, that was just an object?
I couldn't help but worry about it, so we just stepped into this room.
"Hmm? Nothing.
When I walked into the room and plugged around the middle, the red dot of the central crystal pointed at us.
At that next moment, the crystal glowed green, emitting a laser-like elongated light.
"Ouch!? Yay, yay! Hurry back to the entrance! Estelle and Sissha, let them get away with it!
"Yes, sir!
When I took that light with the lid of the pan, an awesome shock ran into my arm and my arm bounced back at once.
I managed not to release the lid, but the impact is still making my hands crisp. It's incredibly powerful.
When I looked at the crystal again, it was starting to accumulate light again, so I hurried back to the entrance to the Knolls.
Nor and Luna are probably fine with eating it, but Estelle and Sissha are just fine, so they're the priority.
Thanks to the increased speed of action, Knoll and the others were evacuated to the entrance while I was stuck trying to prevent an attack.
And the moment I turned around and tried to run all at once to escape, too, punk with my ass! Something could play along with the bursting noise that
Heavy pain runs to his ass, bursting momentum blows him all the way to the entrance and rolls him to the entrance.
"Piggy ah!? My butt, my butt cracked in two!? Heal! Heal!
"Oh, calm down! Look, you'll be free of pain soon."
When I tolerate severe pain and ask Sissha to recover while holding my butt down, the light gathers in my butt and surrounds me with a warm feeling.
Damn... I can't believe you attacked me so fast... did you see the attack time a little wrong?
"Ha... what the hell is that laser-like attack"
"Your brother seems pretty powerful to take damage."
"Mmm... but the chest in the back seems important, and you can't ignore it."
Perhaps that was a magical assault judgment, but even me with a sacred wreck cloth was quite painful.
It could have been pretty bad eating Knoll or Luna.
Honestly, I felt like giving up and getting away because that butt blow just now hurt pretty bad.
But when it comes to getting there and being protected, the contents of that crate will definitely be valuable.
I wonder if there's any good means.
"Try attacking me and Estelle and see if you can break that one?
"Right. That's better than trying to force you to go."
When I was worried, Luna said I should break it.
Estelle and Luna, who can attack at a distance, can attack safely from the entrance.
Earlier Estelle took out the red grimoire and put up a cane, and Luna was in a position to lift and throw the spear.
And Luna throws a spear at the crystal full of power, and Estelle creates a little smaller fireball than usual to shoot at the crystal in the same way.
Shortly after Luna's spear hit, Estelle's fireball also landed, shaking slightly in the room with an explosion.
The black smoke covered the place where the crystal was, and I don't know what happened.
Hey... isn't that too much? I had a subtle reaction when I broke the chest, but I don't think the Lunas will change...
"One scratch... no"
"My attack won't scratch one......"
"Is that part of the labyrinth, too?
When the smoke clears, there's a completely scratch-free crystal there.
Looking at it, Luna felt shocked in the face and Estelle seemed calm.
Seriously... can't that break? Speaking of which, you've tried to destroy walls in the labyrinth before.
It didn't scratch at all then... does that mean it's the same?
Hmmm... if you can't break it, you don't have the means anymore. Front breakthroughs are hard because they also have quite a range of firing speeds, and running through them is tough.
How I can't find it in that mono eye...... oh, there is.
But are you sure you can do this?
"I'd like to give it a try, I'll go again"
"Are you okay? You can't if you're impotent, can you?
"Don't worry. If I can't, I'll be right back."
I just took the Invisible Cloak out of my bag to try it out.
Now that we're transparent, we should be able to escape that mono-eye surveillance. Not if it wasn't temperature sensing or visual surveillance......
Put the beacon down before you go and be ready to go back as soon as you get to the chest.
I don't want to go back and forth without knowing when to find out.
I stepped inside the room again to take the chest.
As I approach the spot I just found out, I'm thrilled to see if I'm going to get shot.
When I reached the middle of the room and checked the crystal, the mono-eye pointed in a different direction without any noticing.
All right, apparently, you were judging me visually. Now you can safely remove the contents of the chest.
I could have come straight to the chest, so I put my hands on the dreaded lid. I was worried it wasn't locked, but when I opened it up with force, the lid opened.
Carefully open the lid so that the crystal does not find out, and when it does open somewhat, stick your hands in and remove the contents.
And immediately, I tried to use the beacon by manipulating the smartphone to get away from here... but the beacon couldn't be used due to the indication that it [cannot be used].
Yep... you can't use a beacon even if you put it on the same hierarchy... I have no choice, what if I walk back slowly?
"Phew... I got a hiatus about when you're gonna get shot"
"When I was seen in something like that red eye, it was how you attacked me."
"I only used it for flirting. That was the first time it helped."
I managed to get back home safely.
Hey, I can't believe you can't use a beacon. I can't believe I could have used it inside the ruins, but not inside the labyrinth.
Should I say I'm glad I figured it out early?
Shall we check the contents of the retrieved chest?
"So what's like that broken tablet?
"Come on? I thought the keys were in there again, but this was in there."
"Hmm, based on the cracked feel of this gizzard, isn't it something that collects multiple pieces?
The contents of the crate were like square palm-sized stone slabs.
It looks like the sides are rough and missing, and it seems like something to pair with other parts, like Luna said.
Are you telling me you have to look for more than one of these things?
Hmmm...... I said I was in a hurry, but it's a labyrinth that's going to take a while.
