I ate my food and finished my bath before logging in again.

However, I hadn't decided where to go on the adventure, and as I was struggling to decide, Lily cheerfully suggested.

'Yes!　I want to fight as hard as I can!

That's great, but what's going on?

'I think it's because Ix took my turn,'

No, it's not.

Lily says so, but I'm pretty sure Ion's point is true. I'd like to quickly forget about the people in the darkened jobs too, and I'll take Lily's suggestion.

But not in the Sandwall Desert. The Lagoon Sea is not strong. The Narwhal marshes will not meet your expectations. Then naturally it will be Yellow Ossa.

"I know it's pretty dangerous, but do you want to push on past the Yellow Ossa steppe?

They all nodded at my suggestion and we headed for the Yellow Ossa Meadow. The members of the group were Lily, Setia, Ix, Hicks, and Stra. After a fair game of rock-paper-scissors, it was decided that I would ride with Setia and Hicks.

And while we were exploring from the sky, countless mysterious cotton-like life forms appeared in the sky. Identification.

Kesaran Pasaran Lv 1
Summoned Monster Targeted for Demolition Non Active

Hmm? It's inactive, as you've obviously noticed. I'm wondering what to do, and Setia warns me.

'Lord Tact. If you defeat Kesaran Pasaran, no!'

Hmm?　What do you know about it?　Setia.

'Yes. Kesaranpasaran are tree fairies just like us. They are said to be beings that fly around in the sky and sprout plants on other lands. They have no offensive abilities and are harmless if not defeated.

Oh, wow. Hmm?

What's the problem if I knock him over?

''Yes. I have the ability to summon plants when they are defeated.

'So you're saying that the plant monster Mir summoned will appear?

Yes, sir.

It's not looking good. It's no use... we'll just have to go around. We avoid a large group of Kesaran Pasaran.

Then we continue our search, but we hit a large mountain. We tried to go around, but the scenery didn't change at all, so it looks like we're stuck here.

That means there must be something in this mountain. While investigating, Ix found a mysterious painting on the mountain. Ix led me to the spot where the painting was written and I found a picture that looked familiar.

'Is this the Taurus?'

Why Taurus? Oh, is it because this is a cow heaven? But it's just a picture. There's nothing you can do about it.

As we approached to touch it anyway, the painting suddenly started to glow and we were sucked into it.

.........

......

...

"...it's the first time I've ever been sucked into a painting. Is everyone okay?

'You scared me, but I'm fine!　Tact.

I'm fine too.

No problem.

Lily and the others respond. Hicks and Stra seem to be okay too. Now, where are we? I look around and see we're in a stone room. And there's a passage.

At the entrance of the passage, the eyes of the carved cow glow red and we hear a voice.

'Mo-ooh!　I'm glad you're here. Those humans who bullied the cows!

Bullying a cow? You mean, by any chance, knocking down a bunch of wagyu cows?

"This is me, the Minotaur's labyrinth, Labyrinth of Lavulinthos!　The only way out here is to beat me or die!

The Minotaur is the name of a famous monster in Greek mythology as a bull beastman.

In case you're wondering, the relationship between Taurus and the Minotaur is pretty tenuous. There are many stories about Taurus. There is the story of how Zeus transformed into a bull and kidnapped Europa, and the story of how a beautiful woman named Io was transformed into a bull by Zeus' wife Hera.

There is a story related to the Minotaur in which the Minotaur's father, the bull, was captured in the trials of the hero Hercules and turned into a star.

There are other stories about the Minotaur, but to my knowledge, the Minotaur is a monster that is defeated, so it would never have risen to the sky.

And there's no way to escape from this labyrinth with a return. Then I'll have to go through this labyrinth.

"If you can defeat the four cow monsters, I'll fight you myself!　Mo-mo!　At your best, you'll learn to regret the cows you've beaten so far!

Then the sculpture of a cow was restored. And then the info flowed.

''A special quest 'The Minotaur's Labyrinth' has occurred.''

This time, there was a description of the quest.

Special Quest "Labyrinth of the Minotaur": Difficulty Level B+
The only way to escape is to destroy the minotaur or use the red thread to escape and return to death.
In the labyrinth, there are 5 boss monsters in a big room. Up to 6 players can fight the boss monster.
Once you enter the big room, you cannot change your formation.
Once you fight a boss, you can no longer fight the boss. You can organize in the maze. You can fight in the labyrinth with 30 or less players.
The deeper you go, the stronger the enemies become.
There are traps and treasure chests along the way.
You can log out and take a break. When you log out, you start from the point where you left off.

So summoning legions is forbidden... or maybe it's not a problem since you're just banned from fighting. Either way, a summoner who can change members at will has an advantage. If this is a non-summoner player, then a series of fights would be tough. Considering the fact that you can log out and take a break, this might be an event that can be divided into several days and cleared.

But when it comes to this kind of situation, it's going to be important to choose the right members. For now, we'll just go with the current members.

I'm going to continue in the labyrinth. It's not dark, so Lily is in good spirits.

"I heard there's a trap, so be careful.

Okay, yeah.

Lily clicks and pushes something. Then the floor Lily was on is gone. It's a pit.

'Kyah!'

Lilly falls, but Lilly can fly, so it's not a problem. She comes back.

'You startled me...'

You're lucky it was a pit.

But this one should replace the members. Substitute Hix and Stra and summon Gray and Love Fire.

I explain the situation and ask them both to take the lead. Then it turns out that this labyrinth is full of traps. Spears are coming out of the floor. Arrows are flying from the walls.

''The labyrinth... it's scary...''

Lily has totally started to keep my back.

On the way, Setia and Ix let me know about the treasure chest. But I don't have the unlocking skills. I guess I'll have to take this one home. Then the two of them show me the exit.

"Looks like an exit.

We have a monster presence. There's one.

Hmm. I can't see it. Is it the skill set?

Do you know what kind of monster it is?

Ix and Setia answer my question.

'It's a weird monster with a cow's body and a person's face. There are crystals floating around it.

It's freaky, to say the least.

Apparently, if you have a far sighted skill like hawk eyes, you can see the boss.

A monster with a body of a cow and a face of a man? You don't think it's Slaby? No, the holy mare god of Indian mythology would not come in the first place. And if it's a monster and a god, the gods would probably be superior to the quicksilver.

But then, unfortunately, it's a monster I've never heard of. What to do about the members... it's the first time, and they're not that strong. But there's a chance they could lose here. And we'll need to keep the strongest members.

After much deliberation, I decided on Gray, Gale, Mir, Luna, Aster, and Sinsu. Meir and Luna can handle it, and if Gray and Gale are there, I think they'll be fine.

I summon the members and enter the room. I seem to be spec'd to wait at the entrance.

Then I identify the enemy.

This one is Lv. 15.
Normal Monster Target Active

The case? That's a monster I don't know. Is the kanji a Japanese youkai?

But the figure is still the worst. He's a monster with the body of a crunchy cow and the face of an old man who looks like he might s*xually harass you. I think Setia was right. It's pretty freaky.

"My name is You. I am a future-seeing monster. I can see it, I can see it~. I can see the future of the dryads!

The case says, looking into the crystal. Mir pulls away from the scene.

'What, what is it?　I have a very bad feeling about this...

I see it!

Then the case turned over and started to shake. What's going on?

When the matter looked up, his face was red and his eyes were blazing with anger.

''I could see a future where I'm holding hands and flirting with the summoner at the entrance!

'What?　We hold hands all the time, don't we?

Now, why don't you hold my hand?

Of course not!

The case is screaming and sobbing. I'm a guy too, so I understand the damage that's done, but I feel like the story was weird. Are you going to hold my hand in that form in the first place?

You in the doorway!　I'll never forgive you!　I'll tell you how sad I am that I've never been popular with you since you were born!

It's a terrible mistake. But this guy forgot something very important.

"You're with us!

I won't let my dad get to you!

"Don't mess with me!　All right!　You'll tell me how horrible I am!

Finally, the battle began. First, Mir releases a parasitic tree. The case manages to duck it. Then Gray and Gale attack, but they also avoid it.

This guy....did he read the attacks of Mir, Grey and Gale?

The ensuing magic attacks of Luna, Aster, and Sinsu are also avoided. I saw that and understood the mechanism. Then I'll decide on a strategy to take. It seems that choosing Gale was the right decision.

You can't get away with it.　Lightningning. Destroy all the crystals around the case!

'What!　You're not going to tell on me!　Cowards!

It's not banned, so it should be safe. It's heartbreaking to be treated as a coward.

The case was looking at the crystal that was floating when it was attacked. That seems to be the trigger.

''Gaaaah!

Gale becomes lightning and destroys all the crystals. It would be impossible to avoid it with the speed of lightning. And as an added bonus, the case is pierced by Gale, who became lightning, and falls down.

However, with the matter charred black, it gets up and approaches Mir, Luna, Aster and Sinsu.

''Please don't come!''

Come on... more... more...

Hi!

Meal and the others desperately attack, but the matter comes closer, all the while. From a woman's point of view, it's a traumatic experience, isn't it? Here.

What's up?　More to come--

Wow!

A completely unexpected roar from Gray hit and obliterated the matter. There was a winner when the future was out of sight. But if this was the case, was it too good to use Gray?

Thank you, Mr. Gray!

That was cool!

Meals are hugging Gray and thanking him for his help. The sight of this makes me feel like this is a good thing. Info flows and a new passage appears. I try to move on, but Gray brings something to me. Apparently it's an item from when I defeated the case. Appraise it.

Crystal of Future Vision: rarity 4 Crystal Quality D
Special equipment for fortune tellers. It allows you to learn the future prediction skill.

A fortune teller's special equipment. Nostra will want it... and I'll sell it when I get back. I have no need for it, you know. I saw Nostra-san's thin smile in my mind. I knew that even without the crystal of future vision, this future would still be right.
