We've passed 6 rooms since then, but we didn't encounter any more living humans. We came across several corpses though..."Master, the magic core recovery is complete.""Alright, let's take a break."Liza and the others are passing the water bottle around after drinking for a mouthful.Before I knew it, they way they call me has changed from [Danna-sama (Mister)] to [Goshujin-sama (Master)]. Since it seems easier for them to use that, I leave it alone.Liza drops the water bottle.Water is spilling from the fallen bottle..."I, I'm very sorry! Master!!!"Liza desperately picks up the water bottle. Her hands seem to be unsteady.Come to think of it, Pochi's and Tama's throwing accuracies were bad in the battle earlier too..."Are you tired?""I'm very sorry! I wasted the important water. Please punish me in any way."...You're exaggerating. No, Liza seems to seriously think that."Liza, we can just obtain more water. Rather than that, is your body okay?""I'm sorry... I feel heavy sinc
After two more rest along the way, we're finally around 80% of the way out of the labyrinth.Since the rest before the last one, we haven't seen any more victim's corpses.Pochi and Tama's equipment has changed to the ornamental short swords. That's the extent of the equipment change, but the three people are now level 13. It seems that their stats are about 3 levels higher than the average human kin.Pochi has [Enemy Search], [Throwing], [Dismantling], and [Short Sword] skills, Tama has [Dismantling],[Collecting] and [Short Sword], Liza has [Cooking],[Dismantling], [Spear] and [Thrusting] skills.It can be said that their strengths are now a world apart from when I first met them.If the enemy has no abnormal status attacks then even if it's level 20, the three can handle it. Although it could be dangerous to fight several enemies of the same level since there are no shield users..."That wall~ is strange?"Tama senses a strange sensation from the wall inside the room.When I stared
"The exit is probably after this. I have two reasons, first, there's a demon who, up until now, was nowhere to be seen. The other, the number of enemies is clearly different than anything before."Those reasons sure are weak eh~"...Why do those reasons mean that the exit is just up ahead, I can't understand.""How about we take a detour as suggested by that demi-human instead?"You're absolutely right... however! It's my turn now!"Viscount-sama, did you forget? This is a labyrinth made by a demon. They would put their kind in the place where they don't want to let people pass."Dang, I should've used this reasoning from the start."But we are completely outnumbered. I don't think we can beat such large crowds just by ourselves."I know right~"Of course we have a chance... That is with the magic of viscount-sama."I haven't seen him use it even once, but the firestorm used on the demon on the square back then was flashy. It should be enough as a shield.Oops, I shouldn't have known
We've come into a vacant lot about as wide as a schoolyard when we come out of the labyrinth.Surrounding the edge of the lot, are two-meter high fences. It looks to be hastily made.Since the outer wall can be seen from there, it seems that this is the square where the commotion was.Looking back at the labyrinth's entrance, it's a 3-meter high of sharp jet black rock with a hole. I wonder if it's made of obsidian?There are 3 turrets 50 meters away surrounding the entrance. Wooden barricades with sharp pointed tips lined up on the places where they don't obstruct the turrets' line of fire."Rin, come here please."Shina is calling from a tent across the fences.When we reunited, Shina hugged me without letting go, but her co-worker, Lilio, who was late, teased her so she jumped out in panic. ...She was definitely very worried. Did she favor me that much~?While Pochi and Tama hang on both of my hands, we go toward the tent. Liza follows 3 steps back from me. Are we a master and his
After several sessions of questions and answers, we're finally released.The sister official who was given our luggage passed it back to us."The things over here are fine to take back. However, the magic cores over there will be bought by the earl."Can I deny it? I tried to ask, but she answers me back with a [No] and a smile."Since we can't completely confirm the safety of this monster's meat, we will confiscate it. And since this spear is made from the monster's part, we can't allow you to carry it on the town."Liza overreacts to that and turns over here. T, the rarely mad Liza, is angry?Since she seems to really like it, let's negotiate for her."Since that spear is powerful, couldn't you ask a person with appraisal skills to check for any danger? Of course, I will bear the cost for the procedure, but could you give it back when it's finished?"Liza, you're scary. Scary. Look, even the sister's smile is cramping."I, I understand. I'll arrange it. The new custody receipt will
The slave market occupies around 200-300 meters in diameter of the square, bonfires are lighted every 20 meters away.Just like in a festival, several slender pillars of the wood stand, are connected with string tied with innumerable thin metal plates that glitter from the reflection of the lights from magic. If this wasn't a slave market, this fantastical feeling would have been perfect for dates...A rope is stretched in the place that looks to be the center of the auction.The slave auction hasn't been started yet, but several musicians on the stage are playing a tune that feels obscene.We don't enter the square and just walk along the square's street while sightseeing it."Rin-dono!"Dono? I don't know anyone who calls me...It was the slave trader whom we saved from the spider on the labyrinth, Nidoren-shi. Coming out from a small tent across the slaves carriage, he's coming here. Girls, who are chained together, are lined up on top of the carriage."The slaves on that carriage
A stark naked little girl is straddling on top of my waist....What the heck is this, a dream?I experienced a similar situation with my younger cousins during a long vacation at my grandfather's home in the countryside, long ago.The difference is that the little girl who's riding me now is naked, she doesn't have the same innocent atmosphere as my cousins.The little girl moves bit by bit, then she greatly trembles and snuggles against my bare chest. Her expression looks more like an adult woman rather than a little girl.While looking very calm, I am actually really shaken inside. I'm not a lolicon okay? Absolutely!Yet what's with this situation?After purchasing the two from Nidoren-shi the slave trader, we were...♦♦♦♦♦"I will vigorously attend to master without rest, day and night."The violet-haired little girl--Kagari said such a thing during the ritual of contract. Even though Liza et al and the black-haired girl--Lulu were silent, did she want to appeal to me?After the sl
"To be exact, Tachibana Kagari is a former Japanese who was reincarnated in Kubooku kingdom with her memory intact. Were you reincarnated too? No, judging from that black hair, you're a summoned hero, aren't you? Rin?"The AR doesn't display whether she's a originally Japanese or her real name, Tachibana Kagari.Since my stats didn't state if I'm a former Japanese, Rin Ichirou too, is it the same situation?"What's wrong, why did you stop talking? You're the second Japanese human that I've met."Hearing those words, my gaze turns toward Lulu who's sleeping in another bed."Lulu is different you know? It seems that her great-grandfather was a Japanese man, though I've never met him, in mind. Atavism is a cruel thing. She could have been an idol if she was born in Japan.""Your mind magic-"It's not"Did she use mind magic to make Lulu look ugly, I thought of that but she denied my word."This world's sense of beauty think that those who have flat face with thin lips, non-white skin, and
