"Ah, welcome home, Alphonse."

"Huh?　Why are you here, brother Ars?"

"I'm just running an errand. It's been a while. How are you, Alphonse?

　I heard about the labyrinth at the House of Lords for the first time in a long time.

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

　I took the day's class and went back to the house, thinking that I would like to visit the labyrinth.

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

　Then, there was my brother Ars.

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

　The king of the sky.

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

　My older brother, one of the kings of the United Kingdom of Fontana, and the ruler of the sky.

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

　Of all my older brothers, the one who looks the most like a child is this Brother Ars.

　But he is very strong and knows a lot of things.

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

　He suddenly came to the house and had a cup of tea with me.

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

"Yes. I'm fine. Lately, Ai has been training me in swordsmanship.

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

"Yes, I know. I've heard reports. But it looks like you've been working out a lot. You're a long way from Alford.

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

"What's wrong with Alford?"

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

"No, it's nothing serious. He seems to be into painting lately and has been doing it all day. Maybe he likes art more than fighting. I hear he's pretty good at it.

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

　Oh, I see.

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

　Your brother Ars's child, Alford, is now the head of the Barca family.

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

　Unlike me, he doesn't want to use his magic power to fight, and he seems to spend every day doing something related to art.

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

　He likes music and reading books as well as painting.

"You look happy, Alphonse. Did something good happen to you at the House of Lords?

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

"Oh, yeah, you know what?　Today I heard about this thing called the labyrinth. If you train there, you can become strong and there are demons, so if you defeat them, your power will be recognized.

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

"Demons?　I heard that there are not many demons in Briaria, but are there any in the labyrinth?"

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

"I will answer that question, Mr. Ars Varka."

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

　After hearing my words, Brother Ars seemed to be caught up in the word "demon.

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

　Ai answered that question, not me.

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

"It is true that there are hostile individuals in the labyrinth that Mr. Alphonse is referring to. We call them demons for the sake of convenience.

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

"Heh. Does that mean you're not actually a demon?

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

Yes. The correct term is "magic-armor soldier.

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

"Magic soldiers?　You mean magical weapons?"

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

"Not exactly. A magical soldier is not a magical weapon. They are humanoid soldiers who move in response to magic stones produced by the labyrinth nucleus. They cannot be manipulated by human hands like magical weapons.

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

　Yes, it is.

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

　That was explained in one of the classes we took today.

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

　It seems that the labyrinth controlled by the Brillia Mage Kingdom used to be a research facility for magic circles.

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

　And in that research facility, research was being conducted to create magical weapons.

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

　However, there was a problem.

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

　The cause was that a labyrinth nucleus was brought in as one of the research materials.

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

　Until then, the research facility had been studying the possibility of creating soldiers by reacting magic stones to magic circle.

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

　At that time, large scale magic circle was drawn on the ground or floor, and magic stones were placed there and poured magic power into them.

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

　The labyrinthine nucleus caused it to go out of control.

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

　As a result, the research facility turned into a labyrinth, and the magic circle continued to produce humanoid magic soldiers.

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

　But this was not so bad, apparently.

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

　This was not a bad thing, because it was a step forward in the research of moving magic stones in humanoid form, which had not been studied very much until then.

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

　This led to the development of human-operated magical weapons later on.

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

　Furthermore, the fact that a labyrinth was created in which magical soldiers were continuously produced by the magical power of the labyrinth nucleus also had its uses.

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

　Such is the use of the labyrinth as a training ground.

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

　The magic soldiers produced from the magic circle on the floor are only working to protect the labyrinth.

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

　Therefore, they did not come out of the labyrinth.

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

　And no matter how many of them are defeated, the magical power of the labyrinth's nucleus creates them again.

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

　In other words, they could be used as training partners.

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

　This is how the nobles and knights of the Brillia Mage Kingdom raised their magical power by entering and training in the labyrinth, and also created a system in which their abilities were recognized according to the strength of the defeated guildsmen.

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

　In short, demons are quite different from wild creatures.

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

"I see. That labyrinth looks interesting.

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

"After all, you think so too, don't you, brother Ars?　I've heard that students attending the House of Lords are allowed to enter the labyrinth, so I'm thinking of going myself."

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

"That's great, but can I fight properly?　Even though it's a training ground, they're going to attack, right?　Couldn't it be a life-threatening situation, let alone an injury?"

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

"Don't worry. The Eye has trained me."

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

"I see. Let's see what Alphonse can do. How about a mock battle?

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

"You sure?　Yes, let's do it, brother Ars.

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

　Yes.

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

　I was about to tell you about the mock battle with my brother Ars.

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

　He's going to do it.

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

　Actually, I haven't had many mock fights with my brother Ars.

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

　He seemed to be busy, and I had been dealing with him a lot.

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

　I am excited.

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

　Thus, we went out to our usual garden with Ars, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, and pointed our swords at each other.
