Twenty-one tiers of the labyrinth.

Adventurers who descend Minotaur and go intermediate first step in, which is very different from up to the Nineteenth Hierarchy.

A hierarchy where forests thrive covering one side of the floor. That is the twenty-first hierarchy.

There was an odd line in the painting of that vast forest.

One is a lil with five blonde vertical rolls. One has a single redhead vertical roll of colo. So the last one is Heeko, a brown girl with normal semi-long silver hair.

Regardless of who the three women are, it is a mysterious party where heekos with normal hairstyles float the other way around.

New member joined Lil and Colo's Buddy. Carry the spear. Heeko, with the magic of transformation, was still grumpy.

"Brother, no... why did you go..."

"How long have you been moaning?

Yesterday, Lil and the others dropped him off to celebrate Gigan's retirement. That is why today, for the first time, the three of us came down to the twenty-first layer.

Under the gaze of a jit-eyed lil, Heeko buzzes his nose back open.

"Huh. You don't understand what it's like to be left behind."

……

Lil clasped his mouth against Heeko's eight. As a matter of fact, Lil has been abandoned by her fiancée around the time she left school. It wasn't like we had romantic feelings in an engagement that was decided between houses, but it was still a shocking event.

Heako noticed Lil's reaction, which usually comes easily on the provocation, brightens her face all the time when she can interact with this.

"Oh? Oh? Do you have one? You could be, you've been shaken before! Hey, let me talk to you for a second!

"You really don't have enough tutoring for this wanker......!

"Ahem? How can you treat people like dogs?"

"Hee, Master Lil! This hierarchy is fun."

Regardless of the constant exchange between the two men in a fight, the cheerful Colo was walking a little in front of them with pleasure. to a bright colo voice. The two temporarily interrupt a fight and loosen their expressions.

"Right, Colo. You're always fine."

"Is that so?

"I will. Corollary heals."

"I see!

Lil and Heeko, who unfortunately threw the party, but there's a ditch between them. I have a bad encounter in the first place, and a sense of discrimination that comes from birth. Between the two of us, we would have had a fight a long time ago without Colo.

"But this hierarchy is good. I miss this forest resembling a mountain!

Halfway back naturally, the colo cheers happily.

Labyrinth has different structures depending on the hierarchy.

A maze with a relatively simple structure to the nineteenth hierarchy. A lot of open spaces on the twentieth floor. And after the twenty-first layer, the temper and the environment change.

The twenty-first tier, unlike up to the nineteenth tier, has only one vast floor. It is the flock of trees that thwart the adventurer.

"…… This forest is really delightful."

"There's a trap or something. We have to be careful."

"Wow. Look, Master Lil! It's over there. It's a tiger. I miss you!"

"You even have those things………………"

Lil gives a dark look to Colo, who discovers the trap visibly.

Lil's ability to survive is still close to the bottom, although his combat ability is improving. Unlike Colo, who walks in the woods with a tremendously joyful crossing of his nose, Lil's face proceeding through a very difficult forest area was grumpy itself.

In fact, unlike the problem, up to the nineteenth tier, which was equal to being maintained as a scaffold, the twenty-first tier is very difficult to walk. It has poor prospects and is more susceptible to unintentional blows from demons.

Not yet for lack of soil, but why are trees growing when there is no soil in the first place.

When Lil glanced at the roots in frustration at the grass trees that were getting in the way of walking so that they were tangled up in his legs, a straight tangle was growing from the floor of the labyrinth.

"…… What is this? It's not what I know about grass."

"It's a labyrinth specialty. Besides, it looks unusually sturdy. It's all grown around here. I'll treat it like an object."

"Heh."

Nod as Coro was interested in Heeko's explanation.

Labyrinth objects. It is a generic term for obstacles of varying intensity, even if they are not as strong as floors or walls. It is the same as the doors that were on the twentieth level, and there is nothing unbreakable, but it is not commensurate with the struggle.

A colo waves his sword.

"Oh, I can't spa."

"No, the idea of logging with a sword is strange in the first place, isn't it?

The tree that was now slashed was just scratched, even if it was slaughtered by a colon. There's nothing that Colo can't break if he means it, but conversely, even Colo can't break if he doesn't mean it.

"Steady."

Avoid traps and hunt for demons that pop up. That's how Heeko, who stopped his leg as he was progressing, glanced back at Lil.

Colo goes beyond saying that Heeko is also adapted to this environment. In contrast, Lil's foot progresses late and the color of fatigue is darker.

Heeko scoffs at the condition.

"Your nobleman's feet are slow. That's what happens because you just let others do it and you don't move on your own. I don't need a foothold to explore the labyrinth, do I?

"Master Lil is just a little unfamiliar. I'm quickly familiar with it. Yikes. Because it's Master Lil!

"No, no. Colossus. Why don't you leave this nobleman alone and go first? We'd better get ahead of ourselves."

"………… I understand."

Compared to the healthy legged colo and heeko, Lil, who is completely unfamiliar with the changes in the environment, did lag behind. In the first place, it is the lil that pours most of the elements of growth and evolution into the vertical roll. Her physical ability itself was low for her level.

Still, it can't be funny that someone who doesn't care about you pointed out their faults. Lil stops, not even trying to hide her annoyance.

"This is a good opportunity. The time has come to show off the way we've been thinking about getting around for a while."

"Heh? What is it, that is…………………"

Heeko, who had incited that it would be his usual strength anyway, blurred his words along the way.

The longitudinal roll of the lil grew all the time.

That's it, okay. Heeko also knows the magic of Lil. Originally the longitudinal roll of the volumetric lil would expand and grow further, but now it is.

The problem is that five of them grounded out and lifted Lil's body.

"Yeah?"

"Ooh!"

Heeko pulls himself away, and Colo turns his eyes on the other hand and embarks on himself.

The vertical roll that lifted Lil's body began to walk with me with five straight rolls. The longitudinal roll of the lil, which is flexible, stretchable and can be a spring, rubber or a sturdy stick, moves cleverly and squeamishly. The vertical roll was not just on the ground, but wrapped around a tree to allow even three-dimensional behavior.

Don't tell me how this happened. This is what happened when Lil figured out how to get around himself.

"Well, here's the thing."

He was a lil who circled the scene, jumped a few times and checked his movements for a while, but eventually he must have gotten used to it. Put aside a heeko where the unrealistic sight in front of you is as if unfamiliar, and issue a decree.

"Come on, I'm coming! I'll run all the way out of here!

"Yes, Master Lil!

"Hey, eh!?

The lil squeaks the longitudinal roll, and the colo blows the jet out of the longitudinal roll and skips it no longer needs to be shy.

By the time Heeko returns to me, there will be no more of them.

The late Heeko rushed out in a hurry.
