　After all this time, I still feel that I was born into an amazing world.

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

　There were no labyrinths like this in the land of my birth, but there were real dungeons in this world, just like the ones in the stories.

　If I had been born in this labyrinth town, instead of in the village of Barca, I would have explored the labyrinth.

　If I had been born in this labyrinth town, my life would have been completely different from what it is now.

　With such thoughts in my mind, I said I would return to the ground from the labyrinth after seeing such an extraordinary thing as a transporter stone.

　But then, Lushka, the female explorer who was showing me around the labyrinth, suddenly rubbed her head against the ground.

　Her sudden action made me a little surprised.

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

　Could it be that she is preparing some kind of attack?

　I'm sure they don't have any feelings toward me, the head of the army, for suddenly invading their land.

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

　It is quite possible that they would take drastic actions in such a special environment as a labyrinth.

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

　I should deal with Lushka before she does something.

　With this in mind, I put my hand on the weapon at my waist, and then Lucica spoke up.

"Mr. Ars von Barka! I hope that you will make me your subordinate. I may look like this, but I am a skilled deep-sea explorer in my own right. Please, please. ......"

"...... What?　What, out of the blue?　What's the matter, Mr. Lyushka?"

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

Please, please forgive me. I hereby declare my allegiance to Ars von Barka. So I will tell no one what I have seen here. Please have mercy on me."

　Oh, I see.

　This female searcher has been watching us since we entered the labyrinth, perhaps she thinks we will do something to her here.

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

　Well, I don't know.

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

　She's just been shown something quite extraordinary right in front of her eyes.

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

　A replica of the transporter stone that exists in the labyrinth.

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

　She had done some research on the labyrinth when she decided to attack this labyrinth town.

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

　She had also heard about this transporter stone.

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

　At some points in the labyrinth, which goes deeper and deeper underground, there are large, vaguely glowing stones called transporter stones.

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

　When I actually saw it, it was crystal-shaped and looked like a huge magic stone as tall as an adult male.

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

　This transfer stone is also located near the entrance.

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

　Touching it and letting the magic power pass through, and then going further into the labyrinth, another transference stone appears.

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

　If you put magic power into this second stone, you can move to the stone near the entrance in an instant.

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

　And if you have been transferred to a place once, you can jump from the entrance to the back of the labyrinth in the opposite direction this time.

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

　It has been confirmed that there are several of these transfer stones in the labyrinth, so that the search can be done efficiently.

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

　However, they are not artificially created, but rather, they were generated by chance in the labyrinth, and they have not been able to reproduce them.

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

　But I made the same thing.

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

　And I have made something that not only looks good, but is truly transferable.

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

　I guess that's why Lushka is so upset.

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

　She might be thinking that I might dispose of the witness here, now that I have made it possible to duplicate the transporter stone, which had been considered impossible until then.

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

　Of course, I did not bring Lyushka here with such an intention, but it would be strange to leave her there without being seen, wouldn't it?

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

　I don't know if it is true or not, but since she has pledged her allegiance to me, it might be a good idea to bring her into my side.

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

　We might be able to hear more about the labyrinth.

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

"Okay. I will accept your allegiance, Lyushka. From now on you are under my command."

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

"Yes, thank you. I will serve you with all my heart.

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

　And so I took a fighting woman warrior as my friend.

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

　...... If you can trust her, it would be interesting to try a female knight.

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

　I returned to the ground with such thoughts in my mind as I looked at the stylish Lyushka, whose chest armor was made of the shells of demons found in the labyrinth and pushed up by her armor.

"So, have you and the Memento family talked yet, Payne?"

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

Yes. We have informed them that Fontana's army has captured the labyrinth city in Percival's territory. I've told them that the labyrinthine city is to be given to the Memento family.

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

"Hey, Ars. Why are we giving this place to the Memento family after we've conquered it?"

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

"It can't be helped, brother Bite. It's obvious that we can't maintain a fiefdom like this.

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

　I return from the labyrinth to the surface and talk with Payne, who has been acting as my emissary.

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

　The conversation is about the future of this labyrinthine city.

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

　The Labyrinthine City is a town in the domain of the Percival family, a noble family, and it is a place of great importance to the Percival family.

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

　The Percival family is located south of Fontana.

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

　The Percival family is located between the royal capital in the south and the Memento family in the east, near the Great Snowy Mountains.

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

　Incidentally, the other three noble families, the Reinsatz, are located west of the capital, and the Risorte, the old hegemonic noble family, is further south than them.

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

　In other words, the Percival family was sandwiched between the Mementos in the east and the Reinsatz in the west, just like the Fontanas in the past.

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

　The two houses had already begun to pull back their forces as the snow began to fall, but Percival was forced to deal with the situation by directing his forces to the east and west.

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

　The Percival family had no choice but to move their forces east and west to deal with the situation. Taking advantage of this situation, they made a strong attack from the north and quickly defeated this labyrinthine city.

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

　However, it was difficult for the Fontana family to maintain the labyrinthine city as their territory after such a hard struggle.

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

　In any case, we had to run in a straight line from the Fontana territory to here, skipping several noble territories along the way.

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

　If we try to maintain control of this area, we will be left in a state of isolation.

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

　That is why we moved with Payne.

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

　He instructed Payne to use the labyrinthine city he had conquered as a bargaining chip with the Memento family.

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

　And it seems that Payne has successfully fulfilled his role as an emissary.

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

"In other words, the Memento family will not pay attention to our moves in exchange for the Labyrinthine City. Did you accept those terms, Payne?

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

"Yes, Master Ars. The Memento family has already sent an army toward us. By entrusting the labyrinthine city to their army, we have agreed not to interfere with the noble domains to the north. Here is the document.

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

"Well done. Now let's get ready to go home. While we're at it, let's attack the noble families in the south bordering the Fontana territory.

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

　We risked a lot to capture the labyrinthine streets.

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

　There were several reasons.

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

　One was the need to somehow avenge the death of Carlos.

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

　The other was to transfer the ownership of the labyrinthine city to the Memento family, so that if the Fontana family fought with the noble families immediately to the south, they would promise not to interfere.

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

　And that is what Payne had done.

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

　Thus, after the assault on Percival's house, the Fontanas gave up the land to Memento's house and began to move north again at a furious pace.
