World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Once we get out of the labyrinth, we take a breather in the square where we left off. On my way home I didn't encounter any demons, and so far I came bare.

"Whoa, what are those guys? I just walked in a little while ago, and I already came out."

"Are you taking all the women and even making them in Harlem?

"You hipster, I could do better than that. Not just exploring, but also at night."

A middle-aged adventurer with a head (which they also had in the labyrinth country) and a long-haired man who seems to be an archer or something, looks at us and skips the sounding palm, makes a nasty joke and laughs gahaha.

(Typical senior explorer... you're where you are)

The Eighth Ward also seemed to take them on exploration in the name of coaching beginners, but I don't think it was so vicious. Some people tried to steal treasure from the side when they fought Juggernaut - think about it, they're pretty bad guys or unfriendly opponents are looking at it.

"... those guys, you want to die?

"Hey Ellie, does that mean the boiling point is too low......"

"Wow, I know. But because they said bad things about Alicht..."

"It's exciting when Ellie says, because those people won't be dealing with you. I'd like to say something too..."

"Oh, no, I don't care. They just don't know how it went until we came out... Hmm?

The sign of Theresia, who was a little behind me, is fading away. I didn't think - in the next moment.

…………

"Ugh... what is this woman, when..."

"Grr... hey, if I get my hands on you here, the defense won't shut up..."

Theresia, who moved without feeling any signs, was poking a short knife for throwing (a small dark) at the neck of the Mohican man who told me to "lose my back".

"This guy, he's a subhuman... a mortal, he's not against the mortal!

Su, and the whole body of blood cools.

It's good to be told about myself, but I just can't stand being told about my people.

In a moment, Theresia sees this one - what she thinks is conveyed without words.

(You don't have to get your hands on this one... First, it's 'after you take it'...!

"I'm busy, I'm sorry!

"... Huh!

A long-haired man punches Theresia - and Theresia, in an instant reaction, takes it with a buckler.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "Supported Attack 1" and "Supported Defense 1" Target: "Teresia"

· 'Wells' Attacks' Theresia '- No Damage

· 'Wells' Karma Rises

· 'Theresia' attack Hit support damage to 'Wells' 11

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Theresia rolled out, just kicking - but the impact of the fixed damage 11 put on at the same time seemed considerable, and the long-haired man stepped on a bump and collapsed off his knees. Because it's not a melee profession, or the defense seems pretty brittle.

There is no rise in karma - if you fight back against those who got their hands on it first, it means it will be judged self-defense.

"Oh, my God..."

"- That's it!

It was when my people tried to move to cover Theresia - in the square, the voice of a Rin woman echoes.

"Gi... guild saber... oh, oh, we're nothing... eh"

- Sometimes it appeared. Back at Guildsaber's headquarters, it was Mr. Serafina, who I didn't think I would be able to see for the time being.

Are you acting alone today, or I don't have my men with me? But he's wearing an armband of guild sabers, and just having her tightens the square air, and tension runs.

"Let me show you the license records... although this man, Wells, said he attacked her first"

"Chi, no, this sub threatened me with a short knife..."

"Why didn't you say something bad about us first? I just came out of the labyrinth with you, don't get muscled to say harem or anything."

"Grr... this little girl shut the fuck up! I noticed the color in vain because I was in front of a man, and this... heh!?

Seeing the man yelling at Caede, Mr. Serafina intensifies his anger. I'm angry, too, but the intensity of her anger was so high that she accidentally wandered off.

"Keep pulling back and I'll miss you. Otherwise, I'll beat your guts back my own way..."

"Or, hey, give me a break... no, give me a break..."

The man, stuffed by Mr. Serafina and grabbed by his chest, is pitifully crushed in the back and sits on the spot. Seeing men like that, she shrugged her shoulders, duh.

"Why bother outside the labyrinth… isn't it speech preaching that those who enter the labyrinth only at the very least speak ill of those who are constantly exploring"

"I'm constantly exploring" - that's a fact, I thought I was diving too far to keep standing, but that seems like something unusual to other explorers, and the surrounding surprises are conveyed.

"My apologies, Lord Atobe. I don't think this way of empowering you is your preferred way..."

"No, that's not true. Even with the punishment now, I couldn't keep my mouth shut... because I'm not strong enough, and Theresia helped me."

…………

Theresia looks at me like this was a good idea. You don't have to worry about that, I laugh. I'm always grateful to her.

"I'm sorry I'm your impudent husband. I really wanted to beat you up myself."

…………

Theresia shakes her head slowly. And he seems to be telling me to bend my arms and show them - I'm more powerful, even though I can't see and swell a force bubble.

"Did you do something to make Lord Atobe so angry? Then I'll still beat my guts back..."

"Yes, no, I think I've had enough. If I fainted like this, I don't think I'd be able to get back on my feet, and I was somewhat distracted."

I won't tolerate Theresia being insulted, but it would be tough to faint in pity in front of the public and not even get treatment. Karma's rising, too.

Ms. Serafina takes out her license and starts manipulating it - looking at what she's looking into, she looked bitter.

"These people have had troubles before. In most of the pleasure streets of District Seven, admission is forbidden… Such is not the kind of information you would put in Lord Atobe's ear, though. Looks like the party is breaking down, you can't dive into the labyrinth, you're wasting your savings and living your days."

If a long line of buddies is missing, the party may be out of balance and unable to rebuild itself.

I would never, ever want to step on the same - every single one of these parties has a role to play. That's not all, there's no fatal mismatch in character, and it's hard to be close to everyone.

"Lord Atobe, you don't have to look like that. If it's still District Seven, there will be a way back to a decent explorer. The guild also has educational facilities, and the regeneration of the Seeker is active"

"The guild goes so far... you really are involved in everything in the labyrinth country"

"It is our duty to do so. Because the Alliance needs to assume the role of government in this country more than the original king has lost his power."

The king's disenfranchisement - There was originally a king in a country called 'The Labyrinth Nation', but now she was banished from the most districts, and Ms. Luisa said the guild's leader and temple chief had become the supreme power.

"But the guild's ultimate goal is only the achievement of labyrinth exploration, the training of seekers who can enter ultra-high difficulty labyrinths. A normal state is not a labyrinth, but one that looks beyond the walls that surround the country, so in that respect it can be called heterogeneous."

"Outside the wall... yes. If you're surrounded by walls, there must be a world out there."

Like Mr. Fifty Storms, I didn't really think about it either. Once inside the labyrinth, you can feel the breadth of the earth and see the sky high enough to penetrate it, and you can see many natural environments - so there is no constant sense of obstruction.

"Then I command my men to take them"

"Ah... I'm sorry, Mr. Serafina, but I thought the headquarters of Guildsaber was in the upper district."

"Yes, the headquarters are in Ward Five. I received a request at the branch of District Seven and will be staying temporarily. Populated districts are always understaffed…"

Due to lack of manpower, I didn't know Mr. Serafina was on patrol by herself - if so, would it be difficult to get him to join the party again?

"... Lord Atobe, you're in The Shepherd's Bed. There's a beetle demon flying in the sky, and I struggled as a rookie, too."

"That's right, my tin is flying very high. I put an arrow on 'Named'. It was a big fuss already."

One mistake says I'm sorry it's an injury, but the way Misaki put it, it doesn't even make me nervous. I was wondering if Mr. Serafina would laugh at me - too.

"Name, with... Um, super altitude flying beetle's...?

"Oh, yes, no, I suppose you should say that you're really lucky or bad, and it turned out to be good. There was a" rebellious beetle, "and we all worked together and managed to defeat it."

"... what is it? Um, the demon that took so many victims... Lord Atobe, 'The Beetle of Treason' is the bounty neck. You'll be surprised if you report it to the officer in charge."

"I think I surprise you every time. When Luisa sees Alicht's face back from her exploration, she starts out as something she finds herself in"

Elitia is laughing - it's always cool, so I feel the smile is precious. Suzuna smiled happily when she saw it, too.

"Thanks for the advice, I'll try to report it carefully"

"That would be good. I am also very surprised… as was the case last time, but it seems that you are led by some fate"

It is indescribable that our party's lucky man, Masaki, is the one guiding that fate - no, it is very helpful that she is here.

"Fate sounds good, doesn't it, dramatic? Oh, I remember the drama I recorded... my brother, you're going to overwrite the recording and erase it right away"

"Talk about nostalgia again... if you say that, we'll all get soggy"

"Haha...... Dr. Alicht, you're sweet. We've already missed our past lives, so we can sort things out a lot."

Until a while ago, Ibuki said she wanted okonomiyaki or octopus.

"Hey, hey... don't tell that to your teacher, because it's embarrassing"

Yes, meals are delicious in different worlds, but the feeling of still missing Japanese food is always somewhere. In my case, I want soba - standing soba at the station, sinking the croquette in warm soy sauce, and then I can't wait for the first bite to cheek.

"For meals, it is also possible to have a guild guide you to the store you want. In 7th arrondissement, the ingredients are from the labyrinth, but there are shops serving French and Chinese cuisine. If you don't mind, why don't you go and take a look"

I got the name of the dish I knew, and I reacted a lot too - but it was my people who were more responsive.

"F, french food...... yeah, chinese is hard to throw away too...... ramen, fried rice, shumai...... ahhh, what can I do......"

"Which do you prefer, Mr. Alicht?

Don't pound on the troubled Misaki shoulder, Suzuna wants my opinion.

"I was just thinking about soba. It's not like soba noodles at all, but there seems to be ramen and other noodles, so I think China would be nice."

"I had pasta, but I'd be glad to have more options for other noodles."

As Gokurai-san put it, if it tastes any closer to what I'm used to in Japan, whether it's ramen or baked, I wonder if it will heal the feeling of homesickness a little bit.

"Is that okay with Madoka and Melissa, too? Tell me if there's anything else you want to eat."

"Yes, I'm fine. Because what you can't eat is about tomatoes."

"Me too, anywhere I can eat demonic food. Truth is, I'd love to have my prey cooked today... but I'll keep it another time"

The material of the demon that we defeated today has been sent to Melissa's vault. But is there somewhere to eat that whole body armored demon - does crab also hold the exoskeleton together, which can be surprisingly delicious? It's going to take courage to get it in your mouth.

◆ ◇ ◆

We're back at the top guild's "Green Hall". The time is noon and there are few people in this time period who need help with the Alliance, and few of the Explorers.

"Brother Alicht, do you always report all of us? Sister Lyoko's doing it for me."

"We're always getting reports from the rear, too. But we explored it jointly today, so it looks like we should go together."

"Right. Mr. Fifty Storms, could you please wait with us?"

"Yeah, call me when you're done because I'm around... and. I'm with you two, so don't float too much."

"… is, yes, I am aware of it very much, so as to that…"

"Also, already...... you just pushed a little precaution. Don't go back to your old attitude. It's exciting."

Pretty soft to push my arms. I don't know what this, some kind of skinship that even high school kids don't quite do.

Everyone follows Mr. Fifty Storms, and Theresia, who stays until the end, walks over here peppered - no, I don't do footsteps.

…………

"... duh, what's up? Theresia."

Did you care about Mr. Fifty Storms' behavior, Theresia touches herself where she touches it too? And make sure I touch it - it's very illuminating, but I wonder what the hell I'm doing.

…………

"... ah, oh. Mr. Fifty Arashi just did it somehow and said it doesn't make any deep sense...... Theresia?

Theresia suddenly runs out and goes after Mr. Fifty Storms - suddenly embarrassed or can be seen subtly reddened from a distance.

"Wow... do what, it's so sweet and sour. My face is gonna get hot."

"I feel like I know what she's trying to say even though I haven't said anything...... you're not hanging up"

"What... let it go, you don't hang up or something like that? I respect your teacher, not that you want to touch him somehow?

Kaede, Anna and Ibuki are hissing - beside them, Mr. Lyoko seemed to be thinking something, but he seemed to have a split within himself, and he approached me.

"Because we are leaders. I don't think there's anything to shy away from acting together... What do you think of Atobe?

If a woman who is equipped with a swimsuit under her bore coat, full of adult charm, tells her that, on the contrary, clutter will also arise from nothing.

On my loose, wavy hair enough on my shoulder, my big eyes look like some cat - and not if I'm checking my appearance again. Because I know she's beautiful when I first met her.

"Well... because we are leaders. Mr. Lyoko is right."

"Akan, Brother Alicht may have been hit by Sister Lyoko's colorful incense... even though he cares about children like us at all"

"I have wheat skin in my swimsuit, I wonder why men are so vulnerable to that."

"Anyone can wear a swimsuit, so you can counter Lyoko. I think it was also sold to a store in 7th arrondissement..."

The three of us from "Four Seasons" also go outside talking - he said something about swimsuits, but did they think I was vulnerable to women's swimsuits or something like that? I admit I'm intolerant, but think of all the thoughts that came up with me...

(... wait. That's all Caede and the others misunderstand me...... what happens if I go to Luisa's with Mr. Lyoko)

"I'm sorry, you'd better dress more normal, wouldn't you? Because my profession is a profession, and I don't really have any better gear."

"Yes, no... because whether or not it helps to explore will be a top priority. Isn't it a bore coat or some pretty rare gear?"

"Yes. In order to do surface water-repellent processing, I'm in" Sleeping Wetlands "in Ward VIII, and I had to defeat the Frog Demon... I managed to defeat it, but I, I'm not good enough to touch the Frog originally. Still, it's a good piece of equipment, so I can't take it off."

"That was tough. When it comes to demons that can take waterproof materials, we also fought a guy named 'Gayshound' who looks like a dog but has the power to stun this one with one eye..."

"The first...... such demons? Mr. Atobe, let me know more."

I get an active impression from that wheat skin, but the usual Mr. Lyoko is relaxed and what a soothing thing to be talking about. Is there also the fact that there is only one different year?

"... a, t, be, sa, ma?

That's when I learned that the comic reaction to "gibberish" could happen in real life.

This again, like a comic strip, turned into a rusty brisket doll with out oil, I look back in a daze and cold sweat - there was Luisa, who, as usual, had a file with a leather cover with materials and was smiling.

"You're Mr. Atobe's 'official in charge'. Again, I have explored with him today, my name is Lyoko Nutmeh."

"This is Louisa Falmel, who has been in charge since Atobe first came to Labyrinth Country. Mr. Atobe and I have been conducting post-exploration reports."

If I don't have to say it that way, and stick it in Mr. Luisa, what the hell will happen to me - I choose to 'stand both ways', no matter which way I stand, horns will stand, even if they say indecision.

"Mr. Lyoko and I were very helpful today when we worked with parties with the same purpose."

"Oh, no... we are the ones who have just been helped by Mr. Atobe..."

"Mr. Luisa, I think you've just come to District Seven and you're putting in a lot of things, but can I report on the results of your exploration as soon as possible? It's a good report, so I'd like to speak to Louisa a little sooner..."

"Yes... of course, that's why I've been waiting for you..."

Think of it as safe - and I realize it. This is the one called Octagonal Beauty, who said that if you looked at it objectively, you would behave less favorably.

I have to be a hard-boiled man so that Harlem doesn't get wild again. I want to be such a transcendent being who abandons weakness and doesn't disturb harmony among parties where only women are.

That's the 'rear guard'. I am watching over party members, and I should never get my hands on them - is it because you want to step off the road the other way?

"Now, I'll show you. Dear Atobe, Nutmeg, this way please."

Returning to the face of a brilliant guild clerk, Luisa walks in a good posture - the guild clerk's uniform still looks good today. Does someone's will work for the Alliance staff uniform being a tight skirt?

"Mr. Atobe came to the top guild from the beginning, didn't he? Excuse me, but the sequence..."

"I'm 294th. I was able to make a good contribution in District 8..."

"What...?

Mr. Lyoko stops. Yeah, I hadn't told you much more about our sequence yet.

I wonder how many Four Seasons. Does that mean you've just come up to the top guild between 2001 and 3000?

"... oh, that. Luisa, how can Atobe raise such an awesome sequence... I have no idea just by looking at it, they fight awesome..."

"It's a secret between me and Master Atobe. Will it depend on whether you can tell the nutmets as well?"

"Ha, yes...... I will work with those kids so that Atobe can trust me. Keep up the good work.........!

Mr. Lyoko asks me to shake his hand, he shakes his hand - and Luisa somehow takes off her glasses and smiles at me.

But I was, to some extent, certain. I'm sure I can crack it with Mr. Lyoko, just as Mr. Fifty Storms and Mr. Louisa became close through their booze seats.

After my reincarnation, my virginity begins if I do, it begins - not if I fear it.

"... Dear Atobe, may I join you for dinner after I have guided you to your quarters today?

"Oh, um... then we'll be with you too... because those kids were happy to have more friends, and I'd like to talk to Louisa and all of you"

The number of people at the dinner party swells to an unprecedented high. I wondered if the Chinese store could be booked with this number of people, and I was blurry as I remembered when I was an executive at the annual party.
