World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

- Something, I hear voices.

I've never even been to heaven, but it's a familiar voice, and apparently there's relief when she's alive.

"... brother, brother Alicht!

"Brother, hold on! When your brother's gone, I'll follow you, too!

"Mr. Alicht, Mr. Alicht... please, wake up... ah...!

I opened my eyes thinly - and the tina that was right beside me covered me.

"Good... good, Mr. Alicht..."

"Sorry... slightly misprospected, I ran out of breath before I surfaced from the dive..."

When you speak out hard, signs of relief are transmitted to everyone around you - you don't know what happens in the water. The fact that you also need to get used to diving seems to have dived too deep from the start.

"... good... I don't know what's going to happen anymore..."

"Really... Alicht, don't make me worry too much"

I can hear Mr. Fifty Storms and Elitia. Suzuna calmed down after a while and raised her face - smiling as she wiped her tears and seemed to embarrass her reddish eyes.

"Hmm... where's Theresia...?

"Huh? You were the only brother I had when we got here. Your brother's sleeping there, and he's not hurt and he seems to be sleeping, so I'm worried..."

Does that mean he was still as far away from consciousness as he was, breathing well?

"... Ah, Mr. Teresia... Oh, good, you're safe"

"Teresia, were you trying to get me help?

…………

Theresia seems to have been nearby, showing up from the shade - but when I see it, she pulls in hastily.

…… I don't know what's going on, Mr. Theresia. "

"Alicht, is your body better than that? Do you know our names?

"Oh, no problem. Sorry, I was worried..."

"I was really... worried. Mr. Atobe, you have to get used to the 'dive' in the labyrinth country one by one."

Mr. Lyoko and Mr. Louisa are coming - I tried to get up, but somehow they put me to sleep again.

"Uh... you mean different from normal diving?

"Yes, so it's not that Mr. Atobe has gone unscrupulous, it's that instructors who teach diving... need my skills"

"The dive has aptitude, and it looks like Mr. Teresia has that. How accustomed we are to diving doesn't show up in licenses etc. If you have the skill of" diving, "you won't drown if you have the skill to the extent possible."

Mr. Lyoko and Mr. Louisa talk from both my neighbors - in a tone that's as if the teacher is holding the students back, and it lights up a little.

I mean, if you dive deep all of a sudden, and you sometimes drown whether your breath lasts or not, is that what you mean? - It was a dangerous place. And it's good that Theresia has a diving aptitude.

The members here are everyone but Melissa, Scion, Mr Serafina and Mr Adeline. They were splitting up and looking for us - if we don't rendezvous with the other members later.

"Brother, you were swimming in this spring, weren't you? Did you find anything?

"Oh yeah... there's something at the bottom of the fountain. Theresia found it and let me know. But I can't find out what they found in one dive."

Even if there's something, if that's dangerous, you shouldn't touch it - but I don't think it's a trap to not get caught up in Theresia's Trap Sensing 1.

(Shouldn't we go in deep... too bad Theresia found it for me, but she doesn't know anything about it...)

- That's what I thought, an idea comes to mind. Suzuna seemed to notice at the same time.

"Mr. Alicht, if there's anything in this fountain..."

"Oh, yeah. With Suzuna's" Morale Liberation, "you might know something"

"That means... brother, you need my help too...?

"I don't have to tell you how I feel about it, I think I do need it"

Elitia stabs him in the nail, and Misaki tongues out all the time.

Collaboration leading from "Fortune Roll" to "Moon Reading" in the three layers of "Dawn Field", which found a transfer floor leading to a hidden hierarchy. Wouldn't that still help here?

(Is it possible that what is at the bottom of the fountain is related to why 'named' no longer appears on this island...)

I know someone with 'diving' skills has been here before, but suppose they were hidden in the sand beneath the water and didn't even notice what was there - there are secrets on this island that have not yet been discovered.

"Mr. Melissa is preparing dinner with the staff, so why don't we go back for a moment?"

"Right...... then guys, let's pull it up once"

Theresia still hides and doesn't come out as everyone takes them back down the forest path - she looks at me like she's afraid when she circles around a hidden tree and peeks in.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Theresia. Seems like the dive will be fine if you get used to it."

…………

"It's okay, because this street is fine... Theresia?

At that time, Theresia's lips moved to say something - but it doesn't sound like a sound.

If I could do lip reading, would I possibly understand the language even if I couldn't speak? I think so, but with my lips shaking a little, it seems difficult to interpret them as words.

…………

"Hmm... duh, what's up? Something's turning red."

"Huh..."

Theresia ran off with a pepper - I hope she's fine, but I'm worried because I also think things seem a little strange.

For one thing, I'll retrieve the clothes I left behind and I'll go back to the beach too. And I started walking and noticed - it's wet around my cheeks and chest.

As if someone touched it with a wet hand or even dripped Shizuku after wiping it.

◆ ◇ ◆

Speaking of sandy beaches, barbecue does not seem to be the same in labyrinth countries, where fresh seafood and meat were cooked thoughtfully on a demonic prop stove and enjoyed greatly.

Because it was a little late for lunch, or I cleaned up after dinner and took a short break, and the sky already began to stain the color of the sunset - is it the sun that sets on the horizon? Or is it a star from another world that plays the same role as the Sun?

"There's something like that in the woods... that's interesting"

"Mr. Atobe's party, after all, has something, doesn't it? I can't believe we're making a new discovery at the Alliance's long-used nursery."

I also told Mr Serafina and Mr Adeline about the situation and that I was considering whether to investigate the fountain.

"If you mean underwater, I can't dive with a shield..."

"Well, that's right... they say anyone can dive with Mr. Lyoko's 'lecture' skills, but it's hard with heavy equipment"

"If that's the case, I'm leaving a message with my senior, too. I can't go, but it's like I'm running out."

"Well, I don't think so... even if it's unlikely to be a battle, we need to think about it in case. Lord Atobe, be prepared for your organization and equipment."

"Thank you, Mr. Serafina"

The Seraphinas go back to their rooms. They're using a room for two, so it's next to the room I'm using.

There is a risk that you have to dive in a swimsuit, but the sling won't rust so you'll be able to bring it in. Party members' gear is also hardly usable with protective gear - the "Steel" made ones can rust, so there are various restrictions that Masaki's weapons can be diced only.

"Brother, you're going to cheer me up all the way between barbecues... you're already motivated enough -"

"Thank you, Mr. Alicht. We're ready."

Not only Misaki and Suzuna, but we're all ready to maximize our morale. I decided to ask Madoka and Louisa to wait with the two Serafinas - sometimes that if she were here, I could contact her with a license.

He also wanted to accompany the face of The Four Seasons, so he was asked to come with him. If you use Mr. Lyoko's skill 'Lecture', you will not be at risk of drowning because you will have the same skill 'Dive 1' for a certain amount of time.

"But it's getting dark already..."

"But you're bright when the sun sets. Maybe the moonlight is enough... or maybe it's dark in the woods"

"On this island, they say, it doesn't mean the night will be dark either. Officials said it was popular as a nursery because it allowed them to operate regardless of day or night."

Mr Serafina is right, this vision does not mean that feet are particularly dangerous. Instead, it seems that at night the fantastic landscape of this island stands out - some of the forest plants glow pale and the firefly-like light flutters.

"Gentlemen, go with care"

"We'll be waiting for you as we talk. Rest for lunch and stay healthy."

"I'll be home as soon as I can. Then we'll both go."

Say hello to your departure and we'll head to the woods. It was also bright in the woods and it was not difficult to reach the fountain of purpose.

- But the fountain looks different from noon. The moonlight hits the fountain and the white sand on the bottom of the water glows.

"Beautiful... at night, I can't believe this is the landscape..."

Mr. Fifty Arashi has been spotted - she has quite a gap piece of equipment: swimsuit and sandals rented, but everyone has no choice this time around, so it's something similar.

"Now, you'll be ready to dive. Your breath will last longer, but don't push it."

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Lyoko" activates "Lecture: Dive 1" Target: "Alicht's Party" and "Four Seasons"

· "Alicht" activates "Assist" Target: "Lyoko"

· "Alicht" activates "Assist Charge" "Lyoko" 's magic recovers

"Oh, thank you...... Mr. Atobe. Wow, I've used a lot of magic and I'm healing all at once."

"No, never mind. Thanks to Mr. Lyoko's skill, we can dive."

And after I used "Assist Charge," "The Monk's Ank", which is strapped and hanging around my neck, glowed, and my magic recovered a little. This helps - about a third of the magic I supplied Mr. Lyoko returned.

Take a sip of mana potion just in case and restore your magic to its maximum. And we all go into the water - the whole spring is glowing, so we could all go in without so much hesitation.

"It's kind of fun to be recreating at night, and I don't feel scared to try the liver."

"This fountain is full of signs of sobriety. It doesn't look like there are demons..."

That may not lead to the discovery of 'named', but I want to solve the secret of the fountain first.

"I'm going to dive from around here, like we're all not going to be forced"

I first asked Mr. Lyoko and Theresia to lead the way, and then it continued - I felt long the first time I dived, but the second time I arrived at the place of destination without any particular shortness of breath, whether the 'Dive 1' skill was working.

Seeing Masaki first, she replies by making a ring with her thumb and index finger. Snorts as if Suzuna could always say - and.

◆ Current situation ◆

-Misaki activates' Fortune Roll ' Next action ensures success

-Suzuna activates' Moon Reading ' Success

"... Huh!?

Suzuna's body is enveloped in blue and white light - a divine figure, as if she were collecting the light of the moon pouring into the fountain.

And she lays her hands on the bottom of the water, which is now buried in the sand and sees nothing - and the five places on the bottom of the water glowed as they responded to Suzuna.

We split up and dig that part - and then it came out like a round marbled stone, embedded with some kind of hand.

(How can I do this...... nothing happens just to touch it. Is there something about this positional relationship that doesn't meet our conditions right now... hmm?

As I think about it, I get slapped in the shoulder - it's Mr. Fifty Storms. At the tip she shows, Suzuna keeps holding hands against the underwater stone.

(Suzuna...... do you know what to do? Can the power of 'Moon Reading' be that much...?

Light emanates from Suzuna's hands and runs through the water. Light one stone, light that next stone - that's how she draws some shape.

Pentagram - the moment it's finished. The trajectory of light rises in circles, as it surrounds the stars.

'Forced metastases are about to begin. Believers, you should avoid being completely dispersed'

(Eh... Guys, hold hands with someone nearby!

I don't know if I heard it underwater - but I followed Ariadne's warning and took someone's hand nearby to avoid being allowed to split.

◆ ◇ ◆

My eyes were covered in light, and after a moment of floating - I was, like, flying in some forest.

"Huh... a, Brother Alicht. Hey, what happened...?

"Sorry, Alicht... I grabbed Alicht's hand reflexively..."

"Baugh."

Caede, Anna, Zion - and me. Theon was swimming from behind the most, so I guess he was near me.

I'll look into the location of the other fellows with a license, but it only appears as' Fantasy Island One Hierarchy '. But when I looked at the map, I doubted my eyes - we were supposed to be in an uncertain area, far from the island we were on earlier.

"... Earlier, it was a trick to transfer. And this is a different island from where we were."

"A different island...... that's what happened?

"So... this labyrinth was a vast labyrinth, in the form of islands dotted in the sea. I'm sure you've explored the ship, so you can't come to this island without a transfer..."

I also support Anna's reasoning - fortunately, the environment is not so different from the first island, and visibility is ensured even in the woods.

"If that's the case, I wonder if that means everyone's been flown somewhere on this island, too. Calling out loud... if there's a demon, it's dangerous."

"Right, let's look around carefully. If it's going to be hard to find everyone... no, I know you're going to be here somehow"

"Really? Brother, the sixth sense is amazing. Hey, we have no idea."

"Scion also went up from the water, so the sense of smell doesn't seem to work, but it will soon work"

Theon was sensing to me that he should not speak out loud, and he didn't bark or shake his body with a blurb to fly water.

Kaede pulls out the wooden knife that was bracketed with a string on his back and pays for the water. Anna's racquet seems waterproof and seems to work fine - no problem with my sling, but I'll turn off the water just in case.

"Brother, if the demon comes out, should we re-party? Yeah?

"Shall I keep it that way... guys, if you can stay in front of me? I'd appreciate it if you'd be aware of the line."

"Okay, I'll make sure you're before Alicht."

"I guess if we stayed in front with Theon, yeah."

With an avant-garde lined up with Theon and Kaede, Anna in the middle guard, and me in the rear guard, we move on through the woods - there are two directions in which we somehow feel we have company, but all in what seems to be the back of the woods.

"We can see the direction of the stars..."

"I don't know if the sun is coming up from the east... either way, we've moved, so you don't know where we're going."

"No, if it's as the license suggests, you're heading northwest now."

"Wow, it had such a handy feature. I don't need a compass."

"Again, this license is a collection of excerpts from the Alliance's technology…"

Anna was about to say that Scion, who was ahead of her, was a little quicker and looks back at this one. Apparently it means I found something.

When you catch up with Scion, there's some big smudge at your feet - a huge groove branched into three.

"Is this... could it be a footprint?

"Meh, it's so big...... was this put on recently?

"The shape is very similar to the footprint of 'Coral Peago'. But many times bigger... If there's an individual with a proportionate length to this, it's..."

"Named" is somewhere on this island - I decided to take a peek at the "Owl Scope" I had been carrying with my weapon and see what I could see.

"... there's a little bit of an open place ahead. Looks like there's a water field nearby."

"That... as a water drinking area, does that mean demons use it?

"Let's proceed with vigilance. Either way, we need to explore this island in order to get back to the original island."

"If I have to, I have a" Return Scroll, "so let's not have to go"

"Scrolls" can be used even when wet in water - they used to be useless when submerged, but what is now prevalent is being countered to prevent such accidents from happening.

"Brother, I'm bringing a lot of stuff. We only have a wooden knife..."

"Our preparations are a little too relaxed..."

"You want to hit the stone bridge and cross... is this situation too adventurous"

I could have just enjoyed my vacation and followed this labyrinth, but what I didn't do is no longer say occupational disease - it seems like 'Explorer' can't even skip the day off.

I stand in the position where Scion is and peek at the 'Owl Scope' I've been carrying - I'm sure it's waterproof, but I could use it as it is without any problems.

"... hmm?

Something felt like something big crossed my horizon. But if you try to move the scope, it doesn't show anything.

"Brother Alicht, did you see something...?

"Oh... I knew there was something ahead"

"... in a secret exploration, we meet the unknown 'named'. I'm a little scared, but I'm also looking forward to it...... is it careless"

Anna reluctantly says - that she always speaks in such a restrained way that she doesn't fit her age, but that she is also curious about her age.

"I'm not being careless. I think it's definitely better to have fun than to be afraid of something like that... when you're fighting so hard, sometimes you can't afford it."

"Phew... let it go. I'm glad we followed my brother. Beach Volleyball. Yeah, but it's fun to get flown to a place you don't know, or to explore it with everyone."

"... if you get home safely, it will be a pleasant memory. I'm gonna pull myself together from here."

Anna grips the racquet - the ball was tied to the racquet with a string, but removes the ball for use.

"Is the ball okay with one?

"Yes, it won't break if you activate the skill and hit it several times"

"Anna's ball will be back on hand, so even one will be fine. It's really magical tennis."

I also look at it once, so I still expect it as a force of war - ideally after joining my people even if it's going to be a battle, but for that I have to go through the square a little further.

"Theon, if the enemy comes out, we'll see how it goes first. It's dangerous to go in there."

Theon waves his tail and replaces it with a reply, he leads us forward. It's hard to walk in a huge groove of footprints - it's going to kick (first) if you don't pay attention to your feet.

Eventually the forest broke off and went out to the meadow by the river. It would be easy to find a buddy if he came this way, too.

"What, a place that's going to come out of the hunting game Yan...... suspicious to see"

"I guess we're all ahead of us on that trail... we'll just have to get out of here"

"Wahoo."

You tried to reply without ringing, making a sound like Theon sneezed. I'm really smart - though at the same time I'm impressed, I accidentally spilled a laugh.

But from here on out, Anna pulls herself together just like she says. It's time for us to get out to the grass - and on our way.

"... what... there's a shadow?

"Hmm...?

In the meadow, there is a shadow. It shouldn't have happened earlier - there's a chill running down my spine with Zokri.

"- QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Something drops along with an ear-bearing, bird-like chirp - he was using his ability to keep his shadow off the ground while he was in the sky. That's what made us look like targets and fell off.

"Scion, back off!

"Garruh......!

"" Yikes......!!

The giant lands Zuchin on the ground, - the ground trembles and Kaede and Anna scream.

◆ Demons encountered ◆

· Treasure Wings Level 8 Alert Ice Disabled Drop Dancing on Snowfield:????

"... this is the Lord of the Footprints... are you...?

The 'named' that came out so far was vicious because I even saw it belonged to Watadama.

But the demon that fell in front of us, about three meters long, left the adorability of "Coral Peago" intact.
