World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

There is a way to bring Teresia back to the human race. If that's the easy way, Mr. Ryckerton's wife, who is a subhuman, shouldn't have to continue working as an explorer for a long time.

But no matter how difficult it is, you never give up before you know how. When I look at Theresia, she looks back at this one too - seeing the face peeking from that emotional unfloating mask, the determination adds even more strength.

"... although such an answer may not be in keeping with Mr. Couzelka's intentions. I want to hear Theresia's voice."

Mr. Couzelka's expression doesn't work. I feel a sense of pre-sight at the low ups and downs of this emotion.

But now, more than that, it's about telling you what I think. I want Theresia back to being human, that that feeling will never shake.

"The first time she came into the party as a mercenary and found out she couldn't talk, I wondered what a subhuman was like. But they're human. They say we don't have a heart, but we know it's still there."

…………

Theresia stands beside me. He wasn't holding back, he seemed to be trying to protect me.

Mr. Kuselka drops his gaze when he sees that. I don't know what you think - I can't read it from that look.

"… The Grand Temple was formerly the organization responsible for the rule of the country, along with the royal family of labyrinth nations. Even now that the royal family is in decline, the Supreme Priest of the Grand Temple remains on par with the Alliance, even though his power has been cut off."

"Yes... what is it? I'm oblivious to that kind of talk about politics. I'm sorry, I think I should study as much as I did about the country I came from."

I guess we should use the library that it's in an odd district at times like this, but it's hard to get a leg on it when you're constantly working as an explorer.

"No, the explorers of the district around here will hardly ever hear those stories. I know a lot of people don't even know the existence of the Great Temple...... sometimes a healer (healer) is dispatched from the Great Temple when they get so badly injured that they can't be treated in a medical clinic, so you may know that"

"... is it not possible with the power of a healer (healer) to bring the subhuman back to man"

"Neither have we figured out the principle that the demons of the labyrinth reappear over time. But even if human life is lost, the labyrinth is said to cause the same phenomenon as it would if demons were to reappear. The subhuman was regenerated by the labyrinth… in other words, 'healed'."

- Demons don't speak the language. Subhumans are resurrected beings with the same principles as demons.

Still, it's not like a demon. If it's like a demon, it should show hostility to the Seeker. Teresia, Takuma, and the sub people hired as mercenaries you see in the city are all listening to the instructions.

"And... even after the 'Separation Rite' imposed by the Great Temple, there will continue to be proof that the Subman was a Subman. Once, as I was."

"Huh...!

I am momentarily delayed in understanding Mr. Couzelka's words. In the meantime, she takes a seat.

"Hey, what..."

"... but it will stain your eyes. This is a testament that I was subhuman."

It had to stop - even if I thought so, it was hard to stop what she was willing to do now.

Mr. Kuselka shows me his back when he can remove his uniform with his back to me. A wolf-like demonic tattoo was painted on such white skin that it looked radiant even under the lights that it was not so strong.

"... and Mr. Kuselka... from the Subman, one who was able to return to man..."

"... it took a lot of sacrifice for me to return to man. Lord Atobe, does Lord Teresia want you to risk so much?"

"It's..."

It is not something to say without listening to our fellow citizens that no matter what risk you take, your resolve will not change. No matter how much you think everyone will share the same thoughts as me.

"As we went to the Great Temple and found a way to bring Lord Teresia back to man. Can you make the choice of giving up when that was a very dangerous way? Even at the current party, we are able to conduct explorations with Lord Teresia. Still..."

"... I understand that Mr. Couzelka has warned me about something I think. I think he's also telling me the truth that the tattoo on that back is what stays in the body of someone who's gone from subhuman to human... still, even if Theresia can just talk like you, I'll be rewarded enough. On the contrary, I was able to get hope."

"... like me, that's a buyout"

That's what Mr. Cuzelka says, put his military uniform back on. And looking back, the expression still remained the same.

"I… have not yet fulfilled the duties of those who have returned to man. Thus he also speaks of things that should not be said to you as guild sabers. Your achievements are remarkable… you are here to continue to encourage them."

"The duty of those who return to man… I don't know what that refers to. If anyone at the party has a purpose to fulfill, I'll figure out a way to accomplish it. Elitia and Theresia are equally important aims. Accompanied by recognition as a Seeker, it's a privilege not to think."

When she came to advise, she also thought that Guildsaber was not comfortable with our purpose. But as we talked about it not being so, I've figured it out.

To bring Theresia back to man, you don't just have to reach the Great Shrine. Beyond my imagination, there are harsh trials awaiting me - Mr. Couzelka's words, 'requiring many sacrifices', did not seem a lie to keep me in mind.

"Achieving merit as a Seeker… is a necessary process for you to achieve your purpose…"

"Yes. Thinking about when you came to Labyrinth Country, perhaps your activity as an explorer should come first."

"... I think I've figured out a little more than that why I consider Lord Atobe special. Your point of view is different from many other seekers. What experience before reincarnation will you gain the spirituality you are"

"I'm a stubborn salesman. However, when it came to work, I felt like doing everything I was entrusted to do. Now I'm doing what I want to do myself."

I don't know who 'that one' is, but I guess that's something you still can't tell me. And no matter what the salaried man said, it was a delicate place to go to Mr. Cuzelka -.

She smiled faintly. I couldn't help but keep an eye out for that look.

"You don't know what people say about you because they do what they call the Nova of the Labyrinth Nation."

"Nova...... I've been told several times that it was about a joke received. No way, up to the upper level of the guild saber......"

"No, only some people use those words. Someone will not want to tell you here."

Some of the people I've met so far described us as' Nova '. Among them, it is possible that you have an association with Guildsaber - guided us to the Labyrinth Nation, Yukari can be considered first.

"... Looks like a few words have passed. Would you mind if I didn't say anything about showing you the 'magic marks' on your back?"

"Yes, of course... because I think it's something you were prepared to show me"

I don't speak out easily. That's natural - that's what I thought.

"… does the impression of a person who is Park need to be corrected"

"Eh... sorry, that was a weird way to say you showed me... but what can I say..."

Mr. Cuzelka's cheeks are a little red. I didn't think it would move a bit or softly, but that seemed to be my assumption again.

"I don't think it's worth it enough to say to my 'Demon Marks' that they showed me. Lord Atobe, when you can restore Lord Teresia to the human race, it may also appear on her back."

Again, it was - Mr. Couzelka wasn't going to say that what we were trying to do was foolish.

I know it's hard. Still, I'll make sure Theresia gets back to the humans.

"I will also gather information on Lord Elitia's friends with me. I am like your Administrator as an 'Encouragement Seeker'. I may contact you, but I hope you can exchange information even via Lieutenant Serafina."

"... 'Lieutenant' is not 'Second Class Dragon Lieutenant', is it? I think it's a little bit of a special class thing."

"Regular Guildsaber operatives can only be promoted to 'Captain'. I can't answer you about what 'dragon' means, but consider yourself under a special obligation. When Lieutenant Serafina turns into the" Dragon Class, "it will consist of the same Third Class Dragon Lieutenant as me."

"I see... Mr. Serafina is that young, he's in a pretty high class"

"Because of her leadership qualities, she also seemed to be promoted quickly. I personally find it surprising that she will be under Lord Atobe's command."

Mr. Serafina's big shield at level 11 is equipped with defenses that are not originally available in District 7. You should feel lucky again, even from us.

"So, the story from me is, so far, that's it. Give my regards to the Alliance staff"

"Thank you for sharing everything. Once again, I felt tight."

"... so am I. I expect you to stay the same even after you go up to District Six. Or would you do a little more in District Seven?"

"I would like to consult with my peers to decide what to do. Now if you'll excuse me."

I'll take my seat and quit my room. When I lowered my head before closing the door, I saw Mr. Couzelka bowing toward this one, too.

◆ ◇ ◆

As it was, I applied for an interview with Mr. Louisa and waited in the back room on the ground floor of the "Green Hall" I had used before.

"Theresia, there was someone who could have gone back from subhuman to human. It wasn't just a rumor."

…………

Mr. Couzelka's presence gave us hope, but at the same time we received a warning from her.

Sacrifice was made for her to return to man - its meaning is heavy and I cannot be optimistic.

"We're all safe, and we're putting Theresia back together. Let your fellow elitists try to help too. I won't let anyone call that a sweet idea."

Theresia walks up to me and she reaches all the way out - and she touches my chest.

When I stroke him to calm him down, Theresia looks up at me without saying anything.

"... sorry. You seem to be reassuring yourself by telling Theresia..."

Theresia pulls her hand once. And now, trying to reach for my head - giving in a little bit, Theresia stretched her back and stroked my head.

…………

- After all, it's not like the subhuman doesn't have a heart. Not only did my skills increase my trust, but Takuma was willing to take my sister, Shiori.

That's when the door knocks and Theresia can pull her hand in. Luisa, who came into the room, smiled when she saw us.

"Dear Atobe... I heard you talking. To Mr. Roland's rescue, he said it was a brilliant success."

"Yes, it was a fairly handsome demon, but we all joined forces. Supporters came to help, so at the end of the day, it was a pretty big crowd."

"Well...... did I? I would have liked to rush if I had the strength to fight, too. Shouldn't an Alliance official say that..."

"I'm just glad you feel it. Because being a Level 6 or higher demon can be quite dangerous."

I think Mr. Louisa is the same backward support profession as I am, so the skills available during the fight will be limited. If you can raise the level, I'm interested in the possibility that Mr. Louisa's profession has - and I'd like to suppress it because I tend to go in that direction when I think about skills.

"That dangerous demon and you're all fighting together... if we're going up the district together, I hope I can contribute something with skill too"

"It is also a matter of concern that Madoka's new skills will remain unmastered, so when you raise the level of Madoka, try accompanying Luisa... of course, we will make sure you are safe"

"There is something called the 'Training Labyrinth' that the Alliance designates, so there is a way to use it. It's used to maintain the level of the Alliance Sabre and Defense Corps, so I can't get in without a special title, except for me, the official."

Speaking of titles, I have something for Mr. Couzelka earlier. Would it not be possible to use a training labyrinth?

"Mr. Luisa, earlier in the basement of the Alliance, I spoke to Lieutenant Kuzelka Third Class Dragon... and that's when I got this title"

Call the title screen of the license, put it on the table and show it to Mr. Louisa. Luisa, who observed still using her usual monocular glasses, was blinking with her pussy.

"'Encouragement Seeker'... Shh, sorry, I didn't know the details either because I saw it a long time ago in the manual. This title is given to a special party, approved by Guildsaber. You should also be authorized to use the training labyrinth."

"Oh, that's good. We may still be a little ahead of you, but could Louisa please join us when we raise the level of members who are unable to take part in the fight?"

"Huh... yes. If you'll excuse me... but I don't know. Me, I thought the time to enter the labyrinth might not be here for the rest of my life... oh, yeah. Dear Atobe, with this title, it is also possible to use the Alliance's maintenance area. Since there are so many special provisions, please don't let other explorers talk too much out of it."

Luisa says with her index finger on her lips. Whatever charming is, it's a way to see how happy you are.

"Well, let me calculate your contribution."

"Yes, please"

Explorer Contribution - 8540 points

District 7 Contribution Ranking 1

The name that appeared to keep standing was still an equivalent contribution value.

"Congratulations, Master Atobe. The number one sequence in District 7, and the" Named "Cumulative Four Crusade in District 7, will also be the highest record."

The temporary withdrawal of the 'Alliance', which was first in sequence, allowed us to take first place.

While taking first place does not seem to be included in the promotion conditions to District Six in itself, it means that fulfilling the conditions of "Crusading Three Named Districts of District Seven" and "Leader Contribution Reaches 20,000 Points in a Month" will generally also take first place.

The only reason the prize money was attached to the "merciless headstand" was because it caused so much damage that access to the labyrinth was forbidden at the same time as it appeared. Since a thousand and six hundred gold coins have been awarded, ask them to send money to the bank.

"At the moment, Master Atobe has contributed less than 18000 since entering District Seven. Let me add a further special contribution to this figure."

"Special Contribution...... Is it that a separate contribution has been made to rescuing Mr. Roland?

"Yes, you've been asked by The Alliance for Freedom to accomplish that. Depending on the content of the request, the Alliance also converts contributions for others as' contributions'. Stampede crackdown in District VIII will also be included in the special feat. Sorry for the delay."

The contribution of the crackdown on stampede was calculated at a thousand points, but there was talk that it would be calculated separately for activities outside the labyrinth.

"The case of demons appearing in the city must not happen outside of Stampede, and any seeker who voluntarily participates in the crackdown will be granted an equivalent contribution in any district. Calculating including Atobe's recent achievements…"

◆ Party feat rating ◆

· 1,000 points for cooperating with the city defense in District Eight

-Five hundred points for cooperating in the capture of 'Gray'

· 3500 points for fulfilling the crusade request for the 'Star Merciless Slab'

Special Contribution 5000

Honor value + 5

I also feel flattered by the expression feat, but more than that - I can't help but be surprised to see the numbers lining up.

"I also got a rating of 300 points for taking back Mr. Roland's 'Soul Cage Stone', but the special contribution to achieving the request is more than ten times that......?

"Yes, 'Alliance for Freedom' is losing its 2,000 point contribution as a penalty when it fails to crusade 'Named'. It can be a very heavy burden, but 'named' can cause stampede if someone doesn't defeat it sooner or later, so it is in principle for the discovered explorer to crusade. Because Atobe received a request from Mr. Daniela, 'Substitute Compensation' will be applied and, in addition to two thousand points, a separate assessment of Mr. Roland's rescue will be one thousand and five hundred points, with a total of this value".

Ms. Roland said she didn't know how much it would be appreciated to have helped herself, but the guild recommended more cooperation between explorers than she had imagined, and considered it worthwhile about the life of the seeker.

One reincarnation after another is sent to the labyrinth country in order to prepare a replacement for those who lost their lives in exploration - there were only a few such black ideas, but this time they are somewhat dispelled.

"Wanting to save all Explorers is an ideal that cannot even be made of guilds. That's why we have the utmost respect for Atobe's actions."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Louisa. Adding up this special contribution, even if we think we have fulfilled the conditions for going up to District Six...?

"Yes, these contributions will not be undone unless they cause major problems and will be added as the same number in the upper districts. The base figure starts at 5,000, so if 30,000 contributors are needed for promotion, 25,000 will be all you need."

This means that a party with a large number of 'feats' is all in favor of promotion.

Aside from earning a contribution in exploration, I guess it can turn out to be a shortcut to promotion if there's anything you can do.

"Dear Atobe, your contribution is well over 20,000. Congratulations, you can always go up to District Six."

Mr. Louisa smiles and says - it's short for days, but there's also the feeling that it's because he's had a dense time, or finally. The sense of accomplishment came up late, and I laughed at Mr. Louisa.

But when the "merciless funeral man" appeared and saw its power, I thought I was going to be swept to my feet somewhere if we didn't strengthen ourselves more and then move on.

"With everyone, I have promised to set up a holiday. I'd like to move on immediately, but I'd like to consider what I can do to enhance the party and get ready before I go."

"I did...... Actually, it meant they were taking the day off, so I'm putting out a paid application for the guild, too. Because of Atobe's exclusivity, the general business is small, and it has been accepted."

"That was good...... Luisa, too, once you've extended your wings slowly"

"... I'm sure you'll all be relieved that Atobe will be able to take some time off with you..."

Even though I was reincarnated, I'm worried about working too much - Mr. Louisa cared about me while blushing and shying. I want to live up to that feeling, though.

"Hi, it seems that I have a habit of spending my time on running errands that I can do in the city rather than taking time off on holidays... I don't think it's a good idea that I can't switch."

"Mr. Atobe is truly sincere about exploring… Ah… yes, this is the Alliance's preserve that I mentioned earlier, but what about using it?

An unexpected suggestion - after checking the materials obtained, etc., take a rest in the maintenance area. That might please everyone at the party.

When I looked at Theresia, I was leaning a little towards the loving lizard mask to see if I could imagine what it was like to be a maintenance site.
