Just before Liza and Kagari's night watch duty is over, I see enemies on the map.There are three monsters called Shadow Stalkers. Since I've never heard of it, I check their details. Level 12, it has [Physical Damage Halved], and [Stamina Drain] as race-specific skills, if I don't have any means to counter it they might become formidable enemies. It doesn't like they're undead. Their speeds aren't that fast, but they would probably get here in 1 hour. The enemies probably have run out of flying-type monsters.I'm arranging various things related to the battle to be displayed on the menu.And then I turn my view to my chest. I had thought that something had been pressuring my chest for a while but as it turned out, it was Pochi and Tama who climbed on my chest and stomach while letting out , "Gude~", sounds, sleeping there lying on their bellies.I place them on the sheet while being careful not to wake them, and get up."Ara? Master, are you doing?""Are you having trouble sleeping?
The enemy who suddenly springs up comes from the direction of the owl just before.Appearing from the stretched shadow behind the owl, it's a figure of a person wearing a black robe. I can't see its face because it's wearing a hood and long sleeves."I've come to pick you, Mia."Mia who's beside me is trembling."...No."This man with the bent back is, without a doubt, the magician. The owl from earlier is nesting on the man's shoulder. Is it a pet or a familiar one?I put myself to protect Mia behind me and check on his status. His name is Zen, level is high at 41. Skill is--- [Unknown].This unpleasant feeling, is he the same kind as Kagari and the heroes?While agitated I continue to read his status--- What is this?! Skill [Unknown] also appears there.Mia is trembling behind me.I can roughly understand the details. This guy is too dangerous for anyone but me. Let's deal with him carefully. It seems impossible, but I'd like to settle this with a discussion if possible."Nice to me
Right now I am falling.I had prepared myself for the enemies when the door beside the throne opened, but instead, the one who came out was a beautiful woman who looked exactly like the woman who was caring for Mia.Right when I was distracted by that, they activated the true mechanism to reject me out of the master room.The entire floor disappeared. To make the entire room into a pitfall, even a death trap has its limit. No, the trap discovery skill didn't activate so it might have been an impromptu trap.I don't think that I'd die even at the current falling speed but I'd hate it if I'm sunk deeply into the ground without any means to get out.Maybe I should stick some things on the wall to decrease this speed like often seen in manga.I take out a sledgehammer from the Storage and kick it strongly, the reaction force makes me collide with the wall on the opposite side. The wall is soft and smooth, there is no place for gripping.I take out a great black iron sword from the storage
The maze's entrance is a tower about one and a half meters high. The tower is hidden by the vegetation, so one wouldn't find it if they didn't know about it in the first place.There are some traces of people going in and out, but even those are few. According to the map, there's a back door used for monsters to go in and out.I open the door and go inside the tower. It's carelessly not locked.I was contemplating wearing the silver mask before I went in, but since the magician is the same kind as Kagari, he probably had seen my name. Since it's better that silver mask = Rin is not known, let's not transform into the silver mask this time.I look up the enemy's information inside the maze to prepare the necessary weapons. The majority of them are flying ants at level 5-8, and skeletons are at levels 1-3. The slightly stronger ones are the level 18 bone golems and the level 15 wood golems.The other curious ones are like slime-based enemies and homunculus, but they're small fries at le
The purple aura gushing out from the magician not only wraps the women and the golems but also me.I checked on the log for once, it seems that it was properly resisted. I didn't get the skill because it was probably a unique skill."Well then, I'm expecting a desperate struggle."While saying so the magician runs his fingers on the maze core operation machine that looks like a music stand.Walls come out to separate the throne from the hall in the master room. From the map, it doesn't seem to be simple walls, but other blocks from the maze that have moved here.I tilt my neck to avoid a magic arrow going straight to my face.I look at where the arrow flew from, the former beautiful women who have turned into demonic figures are there. The golems that are coming here while flinging their arms around have the same atmosphere.I could kill them instantly, but I'd use the golem to understand how the magician's unique skill works.While dodging one, the other is coming.While maintaining
Two purple lights emerge from the crumbled remains of Zen."Goodbye, hero.""This is your victory."I reflexively cut those lights with the holy sword since I feel evil intent from them. However, the lights which had been scattered away gather themselves back and rise into the sky."Let's meet again.""See you."The lights penetrate the ceiling and disappear before long.Were those angels? I felt maliciousness from them though.But, I don't have the leisure to think about it. Because--『System Message. This maze will begin to enter into a self-destruct sequence. The staff members and trainees are to escape immediately. I repeat』---I heard that announcement.I rush to Mia and make her who's still unconscious drink a magic potion with a restorative effect. Since the medicine hasn't been tested, I give her one-third at a time. She wakes up exactly with one bottle."Mia, do you recognize me?""...Onii-chan?"I am not.Mia's blurred eyes become focused."Here is?""The master room of Traz
I was overwhelmed by his drive, and made to dance according to his plan. He was probably satisfied, but it was a real nuisance to get involved.Still, even though I've murdered someone because of the course of the event, I don't feel any remorse. It's not just because of my high MND but probably also because his outer appearance was that of a skeleton and he looked happy in the end.I pull myself together. First, let's check on Kagari and the girls' situation. It seems that Liza is a bit hurt but everyone is safe. They're not in the camping ground but already near Seryuu City.Somehow they thought that "When it's morning", meant that they should get to the worker's guild before morning. I meant to say, "Depart when it's morning", but it was difficult to complete it.I could tell them my safety if we have cellphones, but it can't be helped if it doesn't exist. Let's look for something with the same function when we got to the royal capital and labyrinth city.Now then, it'd be difficul
I wonder if Kagari feels refreshed after crying her eyes out, she immediately asks me barrages of questions about my circumstances. I put aside the hard-to-talk things like the hero thing, the purple lights, or the reincarnated person and only roughly explain how the magician has accomplished his goal and won't after Mia with the ants and monsters."You're hiding various things from me right?""Well yeah, I'll tell you about it when the time is right."It's not exactly pleasant but it concerns Kagari too so I'll talk about it with her when it's only the two of us."Promise me! I'm fine doing it during our bed talk too."It's good that she's back to her usual self.I unwrap Mia and No.7 and put them on the wagon."Wait a minute, leaving aside the elf girl, what is this busty beautiful woman? Tell me what you were you talking about with the magician~~~!"Kagari's screams are echoing.Since it likely would reach Seryuu city, I stopped her."You understand right? The identity of this pers
Both of the masks have been broken, so I put on a white mask that Kagari made for cosplay at her request. I feel like I know where the inspiration for it comes from, but it seems like it'd fall off easily, scary. I put on cheap clothes and a mantle, and head toward the hall's exit.The hall looks disastrous to the point that I admire it for not collapsing.The floors are turned upside down, several pillars are destroyed, and many places have become craters. Some of the craters have glasses formed from Furnace Flame (Forge). There isn't any trace of the altar.I should say as expected of a demon lord. I've just barely won even though my level is three times as high and fully loaded with items.It's unfortunate that I won't get a rematch--I don't have even the slightest bit of such thought.Fortunately, the opponent was a type weak with magic, but if it was strong in both points, I might have lost.I'll go watch the tournament at the capital and study sword techniques and battle forms.
It's probably the effect of the demon's unique skill. The demon has revived as an undead. The demon's upper body which should have been lost has also regenerated in the blink of an eye. There's no worth in defeating this guy.The two liuyedao were lost somewhere when I destroyed the upper body earlier, thankfully.I do have several trump cards, but since I don't know how many times the demon can revive, I won't recklessly use them. It's painful that one MP recovery potion only recovers 20% of my MP with one bottle.From now on, I'll charge magic swords and the holy swords whenever I'm free."It has been since Yamato that I have to resort to using Banpufutou's effect. O Nanashi, perchance you can beat me? Yamato took the heavenly dragon's lot along to attack my castle. You alone intend to be the equivalent of a hero and heavenly dragon."Fumu, since my name is blank, it's [Nanashi]. I guess I'll call myself Nanashi from now on.Thanks to the HP potion and self-healing skill, my wounds
"What's wrong, are you so scared you can't talk?"Moreover, she's swinging her arms matching her speaking rhythm, so her exposed breasts are shaking and swaying. I can't help but become interested in it since a while ago. Yup, they're big relative to her age."O black-haired hero. I do not care why you're hiding your appearance, but can you entertain me like Yamato? I won't forgive you if you bore me."I wonder if she has see-through skills, the girl's eyes are shining red.I'm sorry for the possessing demon who's trying to set up the mood, but at this time, I'm not thinking, "How do I defeat the enemy", but, "How do I get this fellow out of the girl's body", instead.I wonder if I could do something with Saint's title and magic healing somehow?It might be good to learn ways to exorcise demons. It'd be terrible if someone I know got possessed.Let's use persuasion skills here--I've also thought of such thing. Before I could open my mouth, the girl's time was up."Thanks for making my
A person who looks to be a leader-type is scolding us with a rough voice in front of the door that leads to the ritual room. The scolding is over quickly, I slip in with the society members to go into the door.I've thought of this since I mixed in a while ago, but they're full of leaks.They don't look like a group that would do such outrageous things as summoning items from hell. There's something mismatched about this. I wonder if there's someone who's pulling the string from behind?Well, whatever.There are probably only a few places where they can hold the ritual, so if I destroy this place, people who are thinking of doing misconducts will lay low.The ritual room is wide. The width is 200 meters, the height is 20 meters, and the depth is nearly 1 kilometer long. Of course, there are a lot of standing pillars, but they sure are strong for supporting such enormous weight. Is it due to [Fixture Magic]?My thought had wandered off for a bit.The nearly 200 men and women inside the
The ship carrying us is anchored at a place where the capital's night view can be seen. The port is crowded due to the tournament season, so we're waiting our turn. It seems the duke has issued an order to prioritize ships that are carrying supplies, there are a lot of other anchored ships.Since the captain has gotten the right to enter the port first thing in the morning tomorrow, it looks like we could enter the port without waiting tomorrow.Everyone was watching the night view until just now, but since the youth trope began to doze off, I made them turn back to the room.I hear light footsteps, I look back, and there's Kagari."You're going after all?""Ah."I answer briefly to Kagari who's giving off a strange atmosphere."I can't imagine you'd fall off against opponents at the level of short horn, but absolutely don't let your guard down, okay?""Ah, I know. Or rather, I'm going for it before the short-horn demons could appear."We wouldn't be able to tour the capital relaxed i
A birdman who's flying near the water's surface as if gliding passes over the ship.Pochi and Tama are waving their hands to the point as if they'd get torn off. It seems the birdman is also giving a service, he makes several turns and does a full revolution before flying away.I'm afraid that the two will fall since they lean forward too much while waving their hands, but since Liza seizes the girdle, it's probably alright.Even if they fall, there's [Float] that I've learned recently so it's fine, but there's no need for them to fall in the first place.It's basically a leisure on the ship.Yesterday, the ship was attacked by two aquatic monsters, but before we could go out, the Gillman soldiers who were escorting the ship cleaned it up. There was also a pirate group, the river version, that was going to attack on the river branch, but I attacked them with Short Stun from afar, and their boat got capsized the end.Since it's generally peaceful like that, I continue practicing signal
I'm waving my hands on top of the departing ship. It's not only Princess Menea and her escorts that have come to see us off, but even the viceroy couple and Miss Ririna.There were imprudent young nobles and hooligans that they had hired aiming for Liza's spear waiting in the harbor, but the viceroy soldiers skilfully arrested them before they could cause harm to us. It seemed Miss Karina's maids had notified the viceroy beforehand after they heard about some disturbing rumors.The nobles had probably seen Liza's spear during the fight with the demon yesterday, but they were really confident if they thought they could go against her even after seeing that fight.I want to leave miss Karina too if possible, but my reputation would become bad if I do leave my employer's daughter, so I give up."Fufufuhn, you've raised and collected flags of the new character huh! She should just disappear after this."New character... Please don't like a person with characters."Are you still thinking a
"Well then, everyone, please enjoy the specialties of Gugurian."The viceroy says so signaling the start of the banquet.The people in this dining room are the viceroy, his wife and his retainers, gentlemen and ladies--who are of course nobles with peerages. The guests are Princess Menea, Poni-san who acts as her escort,and also lady Karina and me. The influential people in the city are only invited when it's a buffet party.By the way, only adults are allowed to participate in the banquet and party, their children aren't.The dining table is decorated with flowers, and two maids accompany each guest. The tableware is silver knives, spoons, and forks. Besides the knife that looks like an extremely common dagger, the spoon, and the fork are like the ones used in the previous world. There is only one set of the tableware for each plate, but it gets exchanged with new ones when you've finished your meal it seems.The room is lit with magic light. It's not with magic tools, but a magicia
The princess' entourages, Yui and Aoi pondered if I, who's called Rin and has black hair and black eyes, was a Japanese. It doesn't seem that they're aware of Kagari's name.The girl before me, Yui, is summoned from the Southern Japan Federation in a country separated to north and south. The kind of country's setting that's often found in fictitious military stories. It seems to be a real country from what she's said, I guess I shouldn't say 'setting' out loud.However, I've thought that I could easily go home if I just went to Saga empire, but if there are parallel worlds, I have to rethink my plan. Although from the start, I don't intend to go back until after the livelihood of Kagari, Liza, and the others are guaranteed here, so it's fine."By Japan, do you mean the illustrious country referred to by hero?""Rin isn't from one?""My house has always given the name of the eldest son, Rin, for generations long. It's said that our ancestor is a Saga Empire hero, but there's no hero ca
