　......I don't know how this happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I stifle a sigh that almost comes out of me as I walk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am walking in a labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, someone who is different from the friends we have been diving in the labyrinth with is walking behind us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How did this really happen?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One day, the labyrinth city was suddenly invaded by Fontana's army and fell.

　And right after that, I was forced to dive into the labyrinth with Ars von Barka, the man who completely crushed the labyrinthine city.

"Are you Lucica?　My name is Ars von Barka. Pleased to meet you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, um, ....... Nice to meet you. Mr. Ars von Barka.

"Yeah, head up. I'm not trying to do anything to you. I'm just asking you to do me a favor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong? I don't know... I don't remember... I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, that's not what I meant. Well, I'm stumped. As I said before, I'm not trying to do anything to you. I'm just asking for a favor."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, of course. Anything you need.

"I heard that you are a skilled explorer who searches the depths of this labyrinth. I have a favor to ask of you. I'd like to enter the labyrinth once myself.

　...... What is he talking about, this guy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have suddenly stepped on the territory of the noble Percival family and invaded the labyrinth town, which is the most important point in the territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just when you think you have defeated the labyrinth town with a single touch of your armor, they want to enter the labyrinth?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And why did you appoint me to guide you through it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was evacuating my injured friends who were resting, and guiding them at the gate where the residents of the labyrinth town were trying to escape and causing a huge traffic jam, when I was suddenly summoned by the search union to come here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, it seems to me that the union members must have told them about me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are plenty of other searchers out there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Forcing me, a woman, to do this is too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But how could I refuse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because this boy in front of me has defeated that lord of the labyrinth town in the labyrinth town management district.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However bad his reputation was, he was far more powerful than I am.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He would have killed me if I tried to escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gave up and let this Ars von Barka guide me through the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was not to be a fool.

"Oh. This is amazing. That's what I call a labyrinth. It's like a cave that goes underground, but there's light. Amazing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you sure, Mr. Ars?　You've just arrived in the labyrinth town and you're wandering around a labyrinth like this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's all right. I've already conquered this labyrinth town completely and I've entrusted my father with the command of the site, so there's no problem. Anyway, why are you here, Elvis?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Haha, I asked Mr. Byte for permission to accompany Master Ars on his escort."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Escort. Well, it's better to have one if we're going into the labyrinth... but Thanatos is here. Even if he doesn't turn into a Titan, he seems more dependable than you, though I'm not sure he'd be much use as an escort."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I'll do whatever you need me to do, Master Ars. I've always been good at carrying luggage, you know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're actually after this Lyushka, aren't you, Elvis?　Your gaze seems to have been glancing over there since a moment ago."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, Master Ars. I'm serious about you, Mr. Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, yes. You don't have to hide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, ......, you two have a minute. We've only just entered the labyrinth and it's not too dangerous, but we're still in the labyrinth. Letting your guard down is always a recipe for death. I suggest you don't play around too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, sorry. I know."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry, Mr. Lyushka.

　Three people followed me into the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were three people who followed me into the labyrinth: Mr. Ars von Barka, the man who would turn into a giant, and a young knight named Elvis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The giant man is acting attentively without speaking, but I wonder if he is capable of fighting in the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The labyrinth is shaped like a cave with some space, but still, if it gets huge like the time it broke the gate, I might be flattened too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, Ars von Barka and Elvis, the knight who I often talk with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They seem to get along well with each other, but they are not directly subordinate to each other, but are knights of Mr. Bite van Barthe, Mr. Valka's elder brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know why he would be so interested in me, but it is true that he has been glancing at me since a while ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I can't be too careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He might be trying to make it look like he likes me, but if anything happens to me, he's always ready to cut me down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am afraid of .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why should I enter the labyrinth with such an ally to scare me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to go home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though we are scared in our hearts, we are always conscious of acting with an open mind as we are proud of being explorers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because there is nothing good in showing weakness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Mr. Ars von Barka wants to know more about the labyrinth, I will tell him as much as I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ask all you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel more at ease when I am explaining and talking to you.

I see. So you're saying that a labyrinth is a place of excess magic. It's a mutated land where the amount of magic is exceptionally high and its interior has gone haywire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. However, some people say that labyrinths are a form of demons, or that they are made by demons that dig the ground, and I don't really know what the correct answer is. However, the interior of the labyrinth is filled with dense magic, and the deeper you go, the denser it becomes. Demons live there, but it also produces magic stones, which are the main source of income for explorers.

"You mean the deeper you go, the more magical stones you can get that can be sold for a higher price, right?　I heard that the [ability release] of the Tears family makes the searchers stronger, but how does it work?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How does [ability release] work?　I have heard that it is a special magic, but I do not know the details. However, when you become an explorer, you must go through a ritual, and those who have gone through the ritual have the right to receive [ability release] when they dive into the labyrinth and pass a certain depth. There, you will gain strength commensurate with your own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A ritual that must be undergone?　Do explorers always have something done to them by the Tears family before they dive into the labyrinth?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, not exactly. To the search union, to be exact. Aspiring searchers must first register with the search association. Then, after registration, they are given permission to dive into the labyrinth, where a ceremony is held. But we, the explorers, only call it a ritual, and it is nothing more than drinking a bitter medicine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Medicine?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It is said that if you dive into the labyrinth after drinking it, your body will easily become accustomed to the magic of the labyrinth. It is said that the more the body is accustomed to the magic power, the easier it is for the body to improve its functions when it receives [ability release] magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow. I didn't know there was such a medicine. I'll ask the union to show me later. So, when you said we have to dive to a certain depth, is that the reference point you see over there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, yes. Yes, sir. That's the transfer stone. In this labyrinth, there is a special stone that is sometimes large like that. When you touch that stone and let your magic power pass through it, you are instantly sent to another transference stone near the entrance of the labyrinth. If you have already transferred to a stone once, you can transfer from the stone at the entrance to this one, so it's essential for exploration."

"Seriously ....... I can't believe something this full of fantasy really exists. Seriously, it's amazing."

　We have entered the labyrinth and traveled quite a distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　During that time, we were careful about our surroundings and explained to Ars von Barka about the labyrinth, but we were able to move without any problems because the giant had smashed all the demons we encountered with a single blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I was able to reach the transporter stone in the labyrinth rather easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Mr. Ars von Barka wanted to see the transfer stone even in the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as he touched the transporter stone, he actually had Elvis, the knight who was helping him with his luggage, transfer the transporter stone to him as an experiment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I did not lead him to the fake transporter stone, so when the knight Elvis sent his magic power to the transporter stone, he disappeared in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was extremely surprised to see that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, as soon as the knight Elvis came back, he said that he too would be transferred, and kept on transferring and coming back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After repeating the transfer several times, he was now touching the transfer stone and observing the surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hmmm...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Somehow, looking at him, the so called white devil looks like a child of his age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, I was also very excited when I used this transfer stone for the first time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I think about it, I even think it's kind of cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Memory storage. ...... Oh, this thing can memorize."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... what?　Memory, sir?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I memorized this transfer stone. Now I can make the same one anytime I want."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Saying this, Ars von Barka touches the ground of the labyrinth and does something by kneading magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment the number of transfer stones increased by one more in its place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... is impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many people have studied the transference stone and have not even found out how it works.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did you make it ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wait a minute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Am I being shown something I am not supposed to see?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't stop sweating when I saw the back of Mr. Ars von Barka, who came back again after he had disappeared again by using the transporter stone that he duplicated in front of me.
