World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Maria asked the forest diner to arrange breakfast the next morning.

Maria said that she had been talking to Louisa and the others for a while during the night, and she was getting up first from her bedroom today to get ready.I'm not wearing clothes for work, but I'm already in the living room wearing an apron.

"Good morning, Atobe-sama." Can I have some bread for breakfast?Rice is also available. "

"Well then, with the rice... oh, uh, sorry.Maria-san hasn't woken up yet, but she asked for it. "

"... I didn't expect to stay here, but I was glad you gave me permission."

“That's good. Is everyone still asleep?"

"It seems that Igarashi-sama and Louisa-san are awake."I also saw Suzuna-sama in the washroom. "

Looks like the grown-ups are getting up early for their morning meal - I'm still a little sleepy, so I'll have to do an apprenticeship.

…………

Theresia has already woken up, and the blanket is folded and placed on the sofa.She came here with a tattoo and folded my blanket.

"Thank you. I hope you slept well yesterday."

…………

Theresia nodded her head.I don't think you should worry too much, and your complexion seems to be good, so you can rest assured for now.

Melissa and her parents are staying in your room now that they have another room for rent.I decided to go and see if we could have breakfast later, and I started changing into my usual suit.

◆◇◆

Mr. Ferris returned to his party's base once, but for the time being he was planning to stay in Ward 5, so he promised to cooperate with us. However, Melissa said that she understood Mr. Ferris' wishes.

Now I'm listening to Melissa before I go.The members are outside when they are ready, so I have told them that I will come later.

"Your mother is about twice as strong as me, so you can count on her. Profession is" Ranger "

"Ranger... there's an image of a rear guard from the middle guard."

"I think so." Before you come to this country, Protective Officer...? "He said he was doing it ”.

Compared to an in-house salaried worker like me, I would have moved my body every day.Still, Mr. Ferris has been through a dead end once.That's what it means to be a subordinate.

My desire to make Theresia human is the same as that of Mr. Ferris.However, it would take that much time for Mr. Ferris to cooperate in the fight against the "Monkey Marquis".

"Mom... I don't know everything I'm thinking, just a little bit."If I was going, I'd fight with you... that's what he said. "

"... I see. I have to thank you for that."

“I think that's good.Mom was always like pulling her dad, so she was refreshed. "

Melissa narrows her eyes nostalgically.But there was no denying the loneliness.

"Last night, my father was talking about Ali Hito.He's amazing. "

"I-I see..."

There are things that shine when I think about what kind of talk has been told, but there are things that are reassuring when I know that you trust me so much.Mr. Lycarton is helping us with the family.

"Mother nodded and heard it too... but from the middle of the way, it seemed like she was going to be disturbed, so they came to Suzuna and Misaki, and they went out together."

"Is that so, outside... well, well, I don't know what to say..."

I asked casually, but in other words, Melissa was distracted as a daughter.It's a very delicate story, admiring Melissa.

"... when I got home, they were both already asleep.It was like your mother was putting your father to bed. "

I don't know why you're telling me that - if you think we should talk about leaving the party a little bit in any way, that would be great.

Did Melissa sleep with you?

"... my mother told me it was okay."

"I see... that's good."I'm glad that's the case. "

I don't have a parent, but it was strangely calm when the teacher at the facility was tired and sleeping with everyone at nap time.

Melissa is an adult, strong in battle, but she still has the right part for her age.As an adult, I think we'll have to keep an eye on them -- I wonder if we can all do the same thing at that time.

"Ngh..."

When she stroked Melissa's head, she seemed surprised at first, but she kept looking down.

"...... I'm not a child...... but......"

I thought you might get angry.But before pulling back, Melissa said in a low voice.

"...... if you're an ant, maybe you don't like it......"

"I-I see..."

I was relieved that she wasn't angry, but Melissa's reaction was different than usual, and I thought it was really okay to keep stroking her.

"...... Susuna said she also stroked me.I was thrilled to see it, too. "

Will such a story be shared immediately?And I wonder what reputation I'm going to have when I'm stroking everybody's head - I'm afraid to imagine it for a second.

"But... both of you, that's not all..."

"Nh... what is it?"

"... nothing. Because I want the ant to stay that way."

"Huh...?"

"I'm going first."

Melissa leaves it short.For now, stroking your head doesn't seem to be a bad idea.I can't do that every time I have something to do with it.

(Looks like I was about to say something... like, "Assist Charge" or something like that.It seems that magic will recover if you sleep, but is there a mood problem?)

…………

As I think about it, the front door opens and Theresia looks at me.Looks like you've been waiting for me outside - I checked for forgotten items and hurried out into the hallway.

◆◇◆

Yesterday, I asked Farma to unlock the black box.There is an undeniable possibility that it will continue to be a fight against the "parts", and the trap cube may come out, so everyone is ready to fight.

Transferring to the unlocking room, Mr. Pharma puts his hand on the black box.A huge three-dimensional maze with half-open eyes unfolded, and Farma-san passed his magic power through it.

"Well... it's easy this time... but I know."There's always a hook... fufu, I knew it.You can't even try to fit me in... I can see everything... not here, but there...! "

Usually, we were in a hot battle with sweat in our hands, but it didn't take long to solve the maze of black boxes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening it...!"

The line engraved on the surface of the black box glows blue - then the light spreads and the front is filled with white.

◆ Opening the box ◆

Black Box: Acquired in the "Treasure Palace"

-Amule?

-Magic props?

-A rusted weapon?

-Mail plate?

-Coat?

Mistrium Medallion

832 gold coins

Silver coin x 158 pieces

Copper coin × 153 pieces

Kingdom ancient white goods × 18 pieces

In addition to the items listed, there are other equipment items, but they are all available at the store and damaged, so I will remove them from the discussion about whether they can be used.

"As usual, there are a lot of coins... that's amazing, but what is this...?"

Misaki, you shouldn't touch it yet.

Being dominated by Ellytia, Misaki grins.When I go to the hidden hierarchy in the "Field of Dawn", I feel that my liver will cool down due to the metastasis several times - so do we.

"Is this... a magical tool?"It looks like it could be examined in "Appraisal 2". "

"Alright... Madoka, be careful."

Yes, I'll do my best!

Madoka observes instruments made of metal with a loupe without touching them directly.What the hell is that? - I can't imagine just looking at it.Somewhere, it doesn't look like an umbrella bone.

"... I see... I see...!"

◆ Magical Port ◆

When used, unfold the cover formed by magic power.The durability of the cover depends on the level of the party.

The interior of the cover has more capacity than the normal space.

If destroyed and returned to its original capacity, the surplus is placed around it.

- 180 seconds are required from the time the cover is destroyed until it is re-deployed.

"Horo... is it a Horo carriage or something?"

I guess that means you can build a tent anywhere.

It seems like Igarashi-san could use it, but Serafina-san also came up with something else.

“There are other possible uses.If you mount it on the wagon and unfold the cover.... "

"The capacity of the wagon increases... and the forklift itself is also durable...!"

If used well, it will help the members who need to board the wagon.As long as I was careful about my endurance, I could use it for camping in the labyrinth.

"Let's load this on the wagon later."Thank you, Mr. Pharma. There's something else that might be useful. ”

“No, just letting me buy out the extra weapons is very popular with people in Yaewai... so I'm asking the union to sell them so they can get around widely.”

There is a risk that if it becomes a monopoly, Farma's store will become too reputable.Even the weapons we don't use anymore are more powerful than anything we could get early in the Eighth Ward.

"The rusted weapon and the plate mail... I'm sorry, I think I need a scroll of senior appraisal."Or I have to raise my [appraisal technique] to three. "

I wonder if advanced weapons have emerged... this rusty weapon can be found by polishing it.

Well then, this amulet and coat... are like cloaks.

Madoka continued to appraise Suzuna's words.Amulet - Probably this shape is called "Anku", but it works just by holding it, so no matter how much you find it, it's good.

◆ Guardian Angel Ank ◆

[Physical Defense] is slightly strengthened.

[Magic Defense] is slightly strengthened.

Disable some state abnormalities with a constant probability.

Reduces the power of the enemy's attribute brace.

It may restore the health of surrounding members for the damage caused by the enemy's attack.

◆ Dampie's Cloak ◆

[Physical Defense] is strengthened.

"All Attribute Resistance 1" is acquired.

"Fascination Resistance 2" will be acquired.

When attacking an enemy, it may inflict an "impulse" state.

"Craving" status is inflicted when a woman's health decreases while equipped.

It has a hidden power.

The [Guardian Angel Anku] is an avant-garde, and Serafina, who is in charge of the garrison, or Theon, should have it.

"Dampier's Cloak" is a black cloak that comes from that name.I already know that the influence of [enthusiasm] state abnormality is great, but when it comes to [craving], the risk seems even greater - why is it that there is no risk for a man?

"Dampier... I mean, the vampire and the human half."The vampire race is also in the Labyrinth Country..... "

”Does that mean... this craving makes me want to suck blood?”

"Either way, it won't be a good effect."I can check it at the museum, but I wonder if it could be equipped by a risk-free ant. "

"Oniichan, the cloak looks really good on you."At first, I felt like a little shady oniisan. "

I thought it was just a tired salaried person, but I decided to try wearing a cloak.

If the hidden power seems dangerous, I thought about taking it off immediately, but nothing in particular happened.On the contrary, it comes unexpectedly close - it doesn't feel heavy, and it's more breathable than it looks.

"...... if you look a bit like this, I don't know what to say."

"Half a vampire, or rather, a man who hunts monsters!"Don't you feel it anymore? "

Arihito-san, you look great.

"Well, that's fine... this ank is for Serafina, who has a lot of defensive opportunities, or for Theon to use"

With everyone's approval, I decided to ask Serafina-san to use "Guardian Angel's Ank" at a time when I had to take the enemy's big move.

"And the last... Isn't this similar to the one Commander Dylan gave me?"

"Mistrium's medallion... more advanced than Magistrate's medallion."

I don't know how the most accomplished Explorer was defeated by Alfecca - I don't know how he got into this black box, but it's something I can't handle without giving it back to the right person.

The box is over, and the next step is to explore the labyrinth in search of "Holy Stone."Mr. Farma and Madoka are going to sort out what came out of the box.

"Then I'll swap with Melissa today, and I'll stay in town."Oniisan, everyone, please be safe..... "

"Oh, I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much, Farma.”

“Welcome, and we'd love to hear more about exploring tonight.”

Leaving the space to open the box - it was cloudy before entering, but now there was a gap in the clouds and the dazzling sun appeared.
