As soon as I left Razevala, I went back to Lara and the others.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

　Then ...... the first thing Lara does is jump into my chest.

"Oh my God, ......!　I was worried about you!　Don't go away with little or no explanation!　I feel like Kurt's not coming back and I'm going to miss him. ......
I'm sorry.

　I was surprised by the amount of heat coming from Lara, but I gave her a pat on the back.
　Next, Marise and Cynthia rushed over to me.

I'm not worried about you, but I do wish you'd explain yourself a little better.
I agree with Marlies and ....... Cynthia, I'm going to be sad when Kurt is gone. ......

　I was only away from the three of you for a little while, though.
　I guess I worried them more than I thought I would.
　I'm sorry.

So, Kurt, you're going to explain this to me, right?
It sounded like a thousand years ago. ...... What the hell does that mean?
Cynthia, I'm curious.

　For a change.
　This time the three of them were curious, asking me questions one after the other.


　-Explanation.


　I had avoided explaining the details, thinking that they would not believe me.
　But considering the future, I think I should tell the truth to these three people.
　If anything, it's too late.

You're right, ......, I shouldn't even be saying this here.

　Looking around, I continued.

"Let's get out of this labyrinth. We've done our job. And there's a place I'd like to take the three of you to .......
""Places you want to take us?"

　The three of them nodded their heads in agreement.

Yeah.
Kurt, where is it?
That's hard to explain. Let's head there right now. Aren't you guys tired?

　I ask.

Yeah, we're fine!
I can't wait to get to know you.
Cynthia is ...... just like everyone else .......

　"Cynthia is the same as everyone else." They all shook their heads.

　I hadn't been working out enough to feel this kind of fatigue, but ...... the three of us have really grown strong.
　I'm just proud of them.

　I clapped my hands and said.

I clapped my hands and said, "All right, ...... let's go home. I'll have to pick up that lousy hero too.

　It would be a bad idea to just leave him there and kill him.

　We immediately stepped out of this layer ...... and the underground labyrinth.

　◆ ◆

　After leaving the underground labyrinth, I used transfer magic to get to a certain place.

　By the way, the man called Ivan was lying in the lava field, almost dead.
　I carried him and laid him down at the entrance to the underground labyrinth.
　He's a real pain in the ass.
　I doubt I'll ever see him again. Ivan can take care of the rest.


Here we are.


　In the middle of a dense forest.
　We came to a nondescript-looking rock wall.

"......?　It's a dead end, Kurt.

　Lara looked at me strangely and tapped on the rock wall.

No, it's not a ...... dead end. The part she's touching now is the entrance.
"Entrance?

　Lara's face turns puzzled.

"Take a good look.

　I put my hand on the rock wall and pour my magic on it.

　Then .......

"A magic circle will appear!

　Marise was the first to shout in surprise.
　The magic circle appeared like a pattern on the entire rock wall in front of her and began to shine with golden light.
　The divine light diffused into the surrounding area, cutting through the night sky.

"An intricate ...... magic circle ......
"Does it look like that to you, Cynthia?

　I asked, and Cynthia nodded her head.
　Cynthia, who has green magic and is skilled in analyzing magic, would have a hard time grasping the full scope of this magic circle.
　I unlocked the locks on the magic circle one by one.
　It didn't take long for me to unlock them all.

This is the end of .......



　I solved the last one.
　Then, in the blink of an eye, the rock wall deformed and a hole was created that allowed him to enter.

This is how it works!
"What the hell is this?
"That magic circle ...... was beautiful .......

　The three of them were all puzzled.

Could it be the ancient ruins that ...... Kurt found?

　Marise, an honor student, is the first to ask the question.

"Ancient ruins?

　Lara nodded her head.

"Yes. "Yes. It is said to have been created long, long ago. Rumor has it that some of the ruins are as old as a thousand years.

　Hmm, ancient ruins.
　I've seen some such things even a thousand years ago.
　There were items and knowledge that modern people could not have, and it was good to browse through them in my spare time.

　However, finding and entering ancient ruins is not always straightforward.
　Most of them are locked by magic, as I mentioned earlier.

Marise, that's quite a thought.

　I pat her on the head.

But ...... is a little different from what Marise thinks it is.
Different?　No? - No, not after being locked up so tight with magic.　If it weren't for Kurt, we wouldn't have been able to find it.
Yeah. It's not that big a deal, you know.

　In any case, it will be easier for the three of you to understand if you go inside than if I explain it to you.

All right, you three, let's go inside.

　I lead the way into the room.
　The three of them hurriedly followed me.

Welcome to my house.

　When everyone was inside, I turned around and said to them, "Welcome to my house.

　For a moment, Lara and the others looked at each other blankly.
　But then...

"What?　This is Kurt's house?
"Why are you living in ancient ruins?
"I don't get it. ......

　"I don't get it. " The three continued to ramble on.

　They kept on coming at me.
　I could feel the soft parts of their breasts and thighs against my body.

"Marlies, as I told you before, this is not an ancient ruin. This is just a house that I built from the ground up for habitation.

　In this day and age.
　I live in the dormitory of the Academy of Magic, so this is my first time here.

"Kurt. A house is like a ...... villa. When did you build this thing?

　Lara asks.
　She's still confused.

　I continue, and then start walking again.

"One(0) year(0) ago.
