Now, the lord of dragons, the king of dragons. You saved my daughter, my friend. I wish to thank you.

No, no, no, don't worry about it. I don't want to be thanked for that.

To you, perhaps. But to me, this is important. You have done what I had to do. Please let me thank you.

"...... Okay.

　I'm not sure if it's rude to continue to be so adamant, and seeing me nodding, the Spirit King continues to speak.

It's the demon-infused king. "Then, demon king, the demon bears power, will you show me your heart?

"Heart ......?

　What if I take off my clothes?

"......, right, you mean Dungeon Core?

"You are left

　--Dungeon Core.

　This is the heart of the dungeon and me, which has been absent so far due to the lack of intruders.

　Well, it's a good thing I'm out of action.
　When it comes to things, that's when my life and death are at stake.

　I usually keep it locked up right behind the throne, using the power of the dungeon: .......

It's a good thing that you're a friend of ...... and you're also acquainted with Iruna, so I trust you. ...... Please don't do me any harm, okay?　If it breaks, I'm dead.

"I know the answer. I've destroyed them myself on more than one occasion.

　...... means that you have killed the Demon King a few times.

　...... It's getting a bit uncomfortable to show them all of a sudden.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the best out of it.

Here it is.

"Mm. Now, if you'll excuse me.

　When he said that, the Spirit King held out his staff to the dungeon core and--.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhh!

　--At the same time, a tremendous, raging force gushes inside me.

　I drop to my knees and rub my head against the floor, my hands clutching my chest as it thunders wildly.

　Tears well up out of the corner of your eyes as the intense rush of power begins to circulate through your entire body, and you repeat your breathing, breathing wildly.

Onii-chan!

"Yuki!　What are you doing?

　As I was watching her, Iruna screamed and Reffi rushed over to me, placing her hand on my shoulder as she spoke to the Spirit King.

It's not just a matter of time before you get a chance to see it. It's okay, no, it's okay ......

　But I cling to Leffi's arm and hold her back as she rages in a hoarse voice.

　I remember this feeling .......
　The first time I touched the dungeon core, I got the same deathly headache I had the first time I touched the dungeon core.

　In other words--the dungeon is now (・・・・・) modifying (・・・・) my body (・・・・).

'Be at ease. I have only poured my power into his heart, so he will calm down after a bit.

　You will be able to find a lot more information about the company and its products on the web.

It's not a bad idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

"Don't be a fool, you will be quiet!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm going to be able to help you out.

　...... I'm happy to feel her kindness at times like this.

　You can find a number of different types of shoes for you to choose from.

　After a little while, I finally managed to speak properly, and I sat up, leaning against Reffi, and turned to face the Spiritual King.

"What did you ......?

"All I can do is to give you the ability to handle spirits. Therefore, I have adjusted your body to be in control of spirits. How are you feeling?

"Yeah, ...... not bad.

　...... The Spirit King is probably because he was able to share his power with a strong man with Lefi-level strength.

　Perhaps now the level of the dungeon has been raised again to ・・・・・・. 　
　I'll have to check to find out more about it, but ...... I'm sure my inner magic power has also increased significantly.

...... It's not bad, but if you knew this was going to happen, you should have said something.

It's a good thing that you have a good balance between the two. ...... It's interesting to note that a newcomer to the scene, such as a young man, can feel no pain when you give him power. I knew it would be alright, but it seems to have adapted to my power as well. It's a good thing that the demon king was born in a labyrinth and has an irregularly shaped vessel. ......

　A grudging look of resentment, and a curious look from the Spirit King is returned. I don't have any eyes, but...

　Oh, no. This is almost exactly the same way Leila looks when she's preoccupied with something.
　Surely, anything you say will be heard from the right to the left.

　Indeed, the researchers at .......

Onii-chan, are you ...... okay?

I'm fine. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

　I'm going to continue to speak to the Spirit King, crumpling Iruna's head as she looks up at me with concern.

So what. So, you mean that I can see spirits now?

It is so. --Let his king see it, little one.



"Wow, okay!　Then ...... fire spirit, come on!

　As soon as Iruna speaks to the void - as soon as Iruna speaks to the void - a red light, shaped like a fireball, appears on the spot.

　A red light in the shape of a fireball appears in the place with a boa.

Oh, oh, ......!

　Wha, I see. ...... So this is the genie.

　It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.

　I don't know if it's as clear-cut as the spirit king, but it seems to have a certain amount of self-awareness.

"...... Hmmm. Is that where you see the genie?

Yeah, there you are. Don't you see this thing, Reffi?

"Hitodama?　...... Well, you don't see it. All I know is that there's a lump of magic floating in the air. Leila, who are you?

...... I can only vaguely tell you that there is something there. If I hadn't been told that it was there, I wouldn't have known at all.

We don't know anything about it.

　You are going to be able to have a look at your own face as you listen to my cries of pain, and then interrupt me with these words.

The two of them are in the minority, so don't worry about them, daughter of the werewolf tribe. You will find that there are only a few people that I know of that can sense the presence of a spirit without having the aptitude to do so.

...... I was curious about the way you said it, and I wondered if I had a talent for dealing with spirits?

"No, your case is a little different. You are a man born in the maze. And therefore his vessel is different from ours. You have now become (・・・・・・・・) competent with spirits (・・・・・・・)

　...... got the aptitude now?

"...... You said something about the vessel earlier. I mean, do I have a changeable nature or something?

That's largely correct. Perhaps it is due to the peculiarity of the labyrinthine creature. A normal person's nature - their vessel shape is largely unchanged from that which is acquired, but not you. When appropriate, the form of the vessel changes and you gain the power for survival. It would be understandable if you had evolved as a race, but you changed when you did not. That is, the shape of the vessel is not defined, but it is undefined.

"......, I see.

　Certainly, that being said, it does make sense.

　When I paid DP and released a feature that was previously unavailable, for example, the menu 'Maps'.

　For example, in the menu, "Maps".
　At first, this would only show red dots for hostile reactions if the creature was in the dungeon area, but now you can make it show red dots even if it is outside the dungeon area.

　Some time ago, it was also possible to perform DP-related operations outside the dungeon area, albeit with some restrictions.

　These changes aren't just limited to dungeons, but are also a result of the change in my body.

　I can do with the power of the dungeon what I couldn't do before.
　I often jokingly thought of myself as a reformed human being, not reformed demon king, but I guess the Spirit King refers to it as "vessel irregularity".

　I'm sure it's because of the peculiarity that I was created from the labyrinth, created by ・・・・・・.

It's not Yuki's words, but if you're going to do that, you should have said so in the first place. You've always been that way. You speak as if you alone know everything and act as you please. I almost burned the place down!

It is terrible. How I am no match for you, master of the world. I shall be careful.

　After smiling happily at Leffy's words, the Spirit King turned to me again and continued, "You can learn how to handle this spirit from the little one.

You should learn how to handle this spirit from the little one. I've told the girl all about what spirits are. You'll learn to handle them without trouble.

"Oh, oh, okay.

"Onii-chan, I'll teach you a lot!

Oh, good luck with that.

　Hearing our conversation, he nodded with a smile and stood up.

Then. I'll leave you to your leisure now. It was very meaningful and pleasant to have a short conversation with you.

What, what, you're leaving?　You could have gone a little slower.

Yes. Could you tell me a little more about ......

　Leila agrees wholeheartedly with my words.

　We were having such a great time discussing this until just now.
　As a monster of curiosity, it's probably valuable to have someone to exchange ideas with.

Go home. You're losing your temper.

My old friend says this too. And I still have some work to do. I must find the people in my village and let them know the boy is safe.

Let's go to ....... Let's go to ...... for that one.

"Thank you, Sensei.

　Iruna, who is always smiling, has an unusually mysterious expression on her face and bows to the Spirit King with a smile.

''Good. This is also my duty to do so. --Then, dwellers of the maze. I thank you to have met you in the wide world. And I pray, dragon supreme, that you remain as you are.



"...... Have a good one, old man.

　Then the Spirit King bowed his head for the last time and left through the door I had opened.
