World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

I wake up when the sky starts to whiten.

I couldn't rest on my lap, so I got off her lap in anticipation of when Theresia fell asleep. She seemed to notice if her senses were acute, but today Theresia seemed to be deeply asleep, and she didn't seem to wake up lying on the sofa with a blanket on.

◆Theresia's condition◆

▼Ivildominate Progression: 48

The curse's progression did not exceed 50. But what this number shows is the frequency and probability of manipulation, and it's already beyond the boundaries of risk.

(But... ten hours have passed since I checked before. That's why it's only rising twice.....)

If the way you spent last night influenced the progression of the curse - it doesn't go up in a linear fashion, there might be a way to slow down the progression.

But that's not certain, and it doesn't make sense unless we can slow down our progression.

I defeated the monkey today. End the relationship that had already begun with Ellytia.

She leaves the living room to wake up after washing her face. Then the front door was knocked on lightly.

"Yes... oh, Luca-san"

"Good morning. I rented another room to rest, but this dorm has a nice bed."

Luca puts a leather trunk case in front of me.

"Your customized suit is complete..." Can you show me what you're wearing? "

"Yes, I'll get ready, then I'll do it."

"Yes, turn into the face of a man who fights." You always look more and more gentle. Let's say you're going to compete on your own. "

"No, no... I don't think so."

Without further ado, Luca leaves the front door. Apparently, the change of clothes will be done in Luca's room.

”Huh... you know, the air between the two adult men who understand each other... looks good oniichan's reluctance”

”I wonder if it's hard-boiled... or not?”

"Tin-chan, it was that way." I've always felt like I wasn't interested in men, so I've always been curious. "

"Ah... no, I'm sorry, Ali, Misaki-chan..."

"Are you two awake already?" I'm sorry, but I'm coming out a little bit, so I wonder if I can get Theresia resting in the living room. "

"Ha, yes..."

Huh?

Misaki and Suzuna in their sleepwear came out of the bedroom, wondering if they could hear the talking. After that, Igarashi-san comes out, but she's still asleep---and don't stare at her when she wakes up.

”Hahh... oh, not yes... but the back part”

"Good morning, Igarashi-san." I'm going to wash my face a bit. "

Yeah, but it's cool to stay put without washing it, just a little bit too much.

"... uh, uh, onee-san, would you like to take a little more rest?"

"Hmmm..."

Even though I'm asleep, I feel like I've been told something that I would never say about Igarashi-san - is there some kind of error in my hearing?

”...... I think it's good for Ali Hito-san to get out of bed”

"Um, yeah... nnh?"

It's not the case that you're confused about what to do, even if you're told that you can't get out of bed.

Suzuna and Misaki retreated to the bedroom once, but by the time breakfast was ready, everyone would have finished their dress. I went into the washroom again and woke up with cold water.

◆◇◆

Visit Luca's room and put your sleeves through the new suit. Lightweight and breathable - the quality of the material is completely different from the suit I usually use.

"The size is just right." I don't think I need to raise the hem. "

"It's really perfect, isn't it? It's easier to move than ever before.”

"I put my know-how into it and finished it as a battle suit." Explorers and people in suits are like ants. "

"Thanks to you, I seem to have been called a 'man in a suit'"

Since there are no other characteristics, I think it is called as you see it. When Luca shook her shoulders and laughed, she checked the length of my suit sleeve and brushed my back.

◆[MP] Black & White◆

[Physical Defense] is strengthened.

[Indirect Defense] is strengthened.

[Magic Defense] is strengthened.

"Agility" is slightly strengthened.

[Lightning Attack] is slightly strengthened.

[Blessing: Devil] Reduces the amount of blows received from demonic monsters.

"Lightning Resistance 1" is acquired.

"Darkness Resistance 1" is acquired.

Quality: Made by the master piece "Luca".

“The two colors are reflected in the name of the suit, with the Darkness Blitz on the exterior and the Thunderhead yarn on the lining. I have other materials in there, but it looks like the combination of these two materials will make them resistant to demons. If it wasn't for the quality of the" Masterpiece ", it wouldn't add any optional features, but this time it worked."

"No, it's really amazing. Even though it seems to be durable, it's easy to move."

"I would be grateful if you could say that." I'll fix the suit I've been wearing, but basically I want to continue to offer something more than this suit... it depends on the material. "

"Yes, let me talk to you if I find any materials that I can use." This suit seems to be fine for the time being. "

Luca laughed with her eyes threaded, and when she wore the suit, she looked at the holster of my gun that she was wearing, and checked its condition.

"It looks like you're using a magic gun." How did you find a place to play your part? "

“I've been helped so many times. It goes well with my skills, and depending on the magic stone I'm loading, the tactics will expand."

"... after all, you look like a [wolf]." I have a sense of smell that will lead my people to victory. Wasn't it boring to work in a peaceful world? "

If you look at my suit, you can imagine what I was doing.

That said, I've just had an old dream, and Luca's answer to the question is clear.

"There were moments when I felt accomplished in my original job. However, as Luca-san said, I feel like I've come to the Labyrinth Country and realized what it's like to be alive. Considering how you got here, it might sound ironic.”

"Fufu... that's right. But I may laugh at the unlikely story, but even if I met Ali Hito before my reincarnation, I think I could have become a friend."

"That's... what is it? You're telling me something that makes me happy."

"You have the power to make people open their eyes." So be greedy to live. "

I don't care what happens--that's always the idea. Sometimes it may seem like you're giving up your life.

But because I want to live with everyone, I try to find my life in the dead. It's not a desire to die, it's a obsession with living.

"... the wound on your chest is blocked." It's over if you make a mistake. "

"I see... but it doesn't hurt." Rather, I think I've decided to be prepared. "

Luca is staring at me with the intention of answering as she sees fit - I wonder if this has been pulled back.

"It's my theory that people who can be first-class laugh only when they're in a dilemma..." Ali, I'm starting to want to see you laugh in battle. "

"I'm not a combat freak." If you need to move forward, you just have to fight. ”

Luca held out her fist. After making a light match, I walked out into the hallway - Luca and the rest of the group were waiting for me in the front hall of the dormitory.

◆◇◆

Madoka arranged for a loading truck to be brought to Mr. Ceres' workshop, which was equipped with "Queen's Tail". Ask the other members to move to the front of the labyrinth entrance first, and get an explanation from McCain, accompanied by Madca and Zion, who use the wagon.

"Is the merchant girl the controller of the wagon?" Because it incorporates the [Accelerating Stone], you can run on your own, but be careful with your magic power. "

"Yes, I'll use it with care...!"

"Well, someone in the wagon can supply magic power, so please do it ad hoc." With the help of a man with horsepower, we can pull and move it. "

"Baaaaa"

I don't think Theon would be able to pull on it, but basically, it is best to use the "acceleration stone" to self-propel it and operate it while maintaining its self-propelling ability.

If I can summon you, I can tow you then.

Oh, please take care of me.

Responding to Alfecca's Voice - I'm sure Alfecca would have towed the wagon to operate at maximum speed. "Banishing Burst" can't be very foolish because I don't know how much it can withstand the addition of acceleration.

Thank you, Mr. McCain.

"Oh, come back if anything happens. Maintenance or retrofitting. As long as you have the materials, I'll make you a car in a good mood."

McCain asked me to shake hands. Gripping him back, he showed his white teeth and laughed, leaving the rented workshop.

First, I'm going to try and shoot this [Queen's Tail].

"This big... what is it?" It's an amazing weapon, isn't it...? "

The Nine Tails, the material used in The Calamity, probably plays the role of a cannon. They are connected to the "residual light", which is the power source of the piping - an artistic design that gives a sense of the craftsmanship of Ceres and Steiner.

"Probably, it's incredibly powerful... but I want to make sure how much it is." We need to figure out what we can do with this. "

“Okay, I want to get used to not being surprised when I fire this.”

"Baaaaa"

Well then, shall we ride to the front of the labyrinth?

Ceres and Steiner get into the wagon and try using the Accelerator Stone. It has a dial, and from the speed of walking to the maximum speed of running - the steering wheel is attached to change direction, but it seems to take a lot of force to turn.

◆Current Situation◆

"Madca" activates "Cargo Truck Mastery 1"

"Oniisan, I think I can move it somehow." So, is it okay to proceed with the departure...? "

Oh, please, let's keep the speed down at first and see how we can reduce our magic power.

Even though it's paved, it starts to run slowly down a slightly steep path - even if you show me Madoka's license, I don't care if it's as fast as walking.

"McCain is also quite a craftsman." It's only natural for us to be more skilled than you are, since you're setting up a shop in Ward 5. "

But he praised our work, such as "Queen's Tail". Isn't he a good person?

I agree with Mr. Steiner, but first of all, concentrate on watching Madoka drive--but drive safely and have nothing to say. Probably better than I could drive.

"Even though it's powered by magic, it's kind of like a car. Sweetheart, I'm running."

"Surely... I didn't expect to be able to ride such a vehicle in a labyrinth country"

After Zion leads us, we arrive at the square in front of the entrance of the "Burning Sky Red Building".

Then, in addition to the party mates and Ferris, there were Khoslow and Kuselka, Yvril and Viola, and Nayuta, the Third Dragon Captain.

"Arihito-sama, it was earlier than I thought." However, I was prepared for it every day. What is your role today? ”

“Thank you, Mr. Yvril. I want to do something on the first floor of the labyrinth, so I'll ask you to stand by for a while....."

"In order to formulate a plan, we need to understand the current situation." [Ape Marquis] is a cunning monster... once we engage, we might do something (...) to prepare for the second time. "

That fort had a mechanism that would draw the Explorer in and trap him. "Ape Marquis" is likely to set a trap again in order to survive and increase the number of Seekers to subordinate.

"First of all, we need to identify the main body of [Ape Marquis]." It doesn't make sense to defeat the Shadow Warrior... If you can find out where the real thing is and figure it out, you'll have a member with the best firepower in the moment. This is Elletia at our party. ”

"I see... we can name our subordinates too, but as far as Elitia goes, she's probably better as an attacker (attacker) than me and Viola." We are more or less good at intertwining hands. ”

Their interlocking hands will be useful in disabling the Explorer who is being manipulated - I hope so.

I'm sorry, Atobe-sama, but Commander Dylan has instructed me to help with this operation as well.

"Thank you, but why is Commander Dylan..."

"You said you wanted to apologize for not being able to participate... I didn't hear any more."

If the guild saber had any thoughts about leaving the [Monkey Marquis] alone, they wouldn't know that Nayuta-san had been dispatched. Sometimes they want to learn more about the end of this battle.

I preferred to have more strength than just one. Nayuta's prowess has been seen in action, and she's very reliable if she fights as an ally.

"First, we gather information in order to formulate a plan. Nayuta-san, can you join us in the labyrinth?"

Okay, got it.

"When it comes to gathering information, it's my turn." Atobe-san, how can I help you? "

Serafina came out from behind Adeline - her skills are very useful in exploring the surrounding terrain.

"...... Ali, that suit looks good on you."

At a time like this-- no, maybe it's because of a time like this. Elletia's words ease everyone in the party.

I didn't think I'd ever wear a high-end suit.

"That's not true." It's very definite. "

Oniichan might be able to rely on you because you're wearing a suit.

"It's really... crisp black, and the air tightens."

"Thank you. Guys... we're going to help Luuli." And I freed Theresia from the curse. Come on, let's go. "

Yes!

Once I had to flee from [Ape Marquis] - but not now.

Theresia was walking in front of me with the Gloria Stiletto, the weapon of the [Curse Eater]. The sight of her wielding it and ridding herself of the [Monkey Marquis] with every curse -- I was sure to follow her there.
