You're kidding me! Why do I have to listen to a woman who can't even fight!

When I reached the guild with my mentors, what I saw was an adventurer yelling at Lila and Armia, and the crowd of adventurers surrounding the three of them.
I realized that the yelling adventurer was the leader of the causal party, the Great Sword of the War God, and I understood the general situation.

The man had quite a high level of self-respect, as evidenced by the fact that he attacked me out of jealousy of being overtaken and turned back, and then resented it and tried to get me out of this city.
He probably doesn't like the fact that Lyra-san is trying to lead the adventurers, not himself, and is complaining about it.
Aamir is standing in front of the man as if to protect Lila-san, but due to his small stature, he only seems to be protected by Lila-san.

Lila-san is not pressured by the leader of the great sword of the God of War, but she is resolute in saying back.

''I'm Zeke's deputy. What's your problem with that? Or are you trying to tell me that you're the only one who can beat Zeke, your personal adventurer?

What? What the hell are you talking about on the authority of someone who left here and never came back? In the first place, in a situation like this, it would be normal for me, a top-notch adventurer, to do the talking, not a newcomer!

But that didn't make the man back down. He put his hand on the hilt of the great sword and shouted angrily.

The other adventurers are more than the Great Sword of War, since Lila-san and Armia are women and the Great Sword of War has long been in the Labyrinth City as a top-notch adventurer.

Seeing this scene, Narsena opened her mouth as if she was upset.

''Such a ......! You didn't rebel so much when I was there.

'Narcena needn't have bothered. That guy probably acted out when there was no one stronger than him.

Your brother: ......

I am dismayed by a man who only cares about himself, despite this situation.

Honestly, that man, the leader of the Great Sword of the War God, did not have the ability to lead adventurers in this situation.
It's true that the Great Sword of the War God has a certain amount of ability, having lived in this labyrinth city as a top-notch adventurer until now, but that's all. He wouldn't know how to command a large number of people.

Nevertheless, the man who only thought about satisfying his self-aggrandizement and poking at Lyra-san was simply unpleasant.

Apparently, that feeling was the same for his master.

'Foolish disciple, shut that adventurer up for a while. ...... before Zeke kills him.

I reacted to Master's words with a disgusted look on my face and turned around to see Siege-san with his hand on his magic sword.
If this is the case, it's true that Sieg's magic sword could kill the man.
It's better to keep him quiet while he's still a valuable asset to the war effort.

Having decided that, I strengthened my body and started running.
And soon, I closed the distance to the man who yelled at me.

'Look around you. Of course the other guys would rather have me than a woman like you!

The adventurers around me, including Lyra, immediately noticed my presence, but the leader of the Great Sword of War, who was screaming with enthusiasm, was oblivious to my looming presence behind him.

Without hesitation, I kicked the man in the groin from behind.

'As soon as you find out, you can join me and ......... Hokkiyo!

......... The next moment, the words were interrupted and the man stopped moving.

'──────!'

After a beat, the man let out an inaudible scream with a blue face, and the adventurers around him, especially the men, turned their faces sad at the sight.

But that didn't stop me.

The man still hasn't lost consciousness, as I didn't give him a wound that would make him unable to fight in the future, as the quicksilver hadn't given him any injuries.
But what my master ordered me to do was to make the man shut up for a while. Now that he's not unconscious, I can't say that I've accomplished my goal.
With that decision, I grabbed the back of the man's head, which was still screaming.

In a moment, the man's face twists, as if he has foreseen what will happen next.
It's as if he's begging for mercy, sadly.

Ignoring that, I slammed the man's face into the ground.

''Buh!''

I heard the sound of a broken nose and the man's body completely relaxed.
After confirming this, I removed my hand from the back of the man's head and stood up.

I'm not rooted as far as being abused by the adventurers in the past.
I'm happy with the current state of affairs with Narsena, and I don't care about the past.

However, when it comes to the Great Sword of the God of War, especially this man who is the leader, it was a different story.
It's impossible to forgive this man who drove you to the point where you were driven out of the labyrinth city out of a self-serving grudge, so there's no way you can forgive him so easily.
That's why I didn't show any mercy at all this time.

Me, who suddenly appeared and punched the leader of the Great Sword of the God of War, and the man who fainted in a miserable position with his eyes turned white and his crotch pressed down.

''Hee!''

A stifled scream escaped from the adventurers who were comparing them.
I suddenly looked towards the adventurers and saw the other members of the Great Sword of the War God behind them, but there was a fright on their faces, and it was clear that they had no animosity.
The adventurers' appearance made me vaguely think that these adventurers would not be attached to the Great Sword of the War God as long as they were there.
It was then that Master's voice rang out.

''You idiot who doesn't even know you're not good enough.''

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with a sense of intimidation that could not be ignored, and all the people present turned towards Master.
It was only then that the adventurers noticed Master and Ronald, the two top-notch adventurers, and for the first time, a look of astonishment and doubt appeared on their faces.
But there was no one to utter those questions.
Not a single one of them opened their mouths in the face of the intimidating feeling that Master was emitting.

In this situation, Master opened his mouth with a sneer on his face.

''I'll tell you one thing. If I had left the command to this idiot, your deaths would have been assured.

With that, Master walked towards the guild with the adventurers at his back.

Ronald, please explain to the adventurers. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what happened. I'll tell you the rest of the story.

You're really good with people.

'Master, I'll stay here too. Raust, you can explain it to me later.

Ronald, who laughed bitterly, still turned to the adventurers without complaining, and Zeke followed suit.
With that scene as the last, I walked out following my master's back.



◇◆◇


With us behind him, Master headed to the back of the guild.
On the way, we told the guild staff, who were surprised at the presence of a top-notch adventurer, not to come in, and Master took the guest room of his own accord and sat cross-legged on a chair.
Following that, Narsena and I sat side by side in the chair facing Master.
It was in the next moment that Master opened his mouth.

''To summarize what I've heard from you guys, the beginning of what happened was that an unusually strong hobgoblin entered the interior of the labyrinth city. After that, that group of demonic beasts appeared. Isn't that right?

Me and Narcena nodded at that master's words.
By the time we came to the guild, we had finished explaining to our mentor and Ronald-san what had happened so far.
Unfortunately, we didn't have time to hear from our masters, but we could probably explain most of what happened as far as what happened.

After checking with us again, the master opened his mouth with a troubled expression.

''It was unfortunate that I was able to come to this place, or maybe it's a reason: ......

The master's attitude was clearly strange.

Impatience and bitterness. With an expression on his face that I had never seen before, Master opened his mouth.

''I'll tell you one thing first, this time it's the worst possible situation. Keep in mind.

His words naturally made me feel better.
Narsena's face is also filled with tension.
This is the situation that that master warns us about so much. It's definitely not just a matter of time.

...... But that resolve was nothing but meaningless.

"From my experience, this is a runaway labyrinth. In the not-too-distant future, this labyrinth city will fall into ruin.

...

......... Huh?

The words my master told me caused me and Narcena to reveal our upset.
