"I see. In other words, Mr. Alphonse would like to fight with more than one bronze knight. Is that what you say?

 I could still feel the presence of magic-armed soldiers in the distance.

 But the presence was getting closer and closer to us.

 I want to fight against more than one bronze knight.

 But I am also thinking of all the contingencies.

 I wondered what to do, and then I decided to consult with Ai.

 I am talking with Ai in the labyrinth.

 If the knight standing guard at the entrance of the labyrinth sees me here with Ai, he might be surprised.

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


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


 Because Ai did not come to me through the entrance of the labyrinth.

 I was definitely alone when I entered the labyrinth.

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


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


 But there was something in my magic bag.

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


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


 It was a spirit stone.

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


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


 A black magic stone, different from the reddish-black magic stone I had gotten in this labyrinth.

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


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


 Moreover, this spirit stone was not just a magic stone.

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


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


 On the surface of the stone, there was a magic circle, and it was covered with a skin.

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


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


 I took out the core of the skin and poured magic power into it to activate it.

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


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


 As a result, we are able to talk with Ai in the labyrinth.

 Incidentally, the Ai here is different from the one who came to the labyrinth with me from the royal capital.

 The usual Ai is probably keeping track of my situation by synchronizing with the Ai here, while she is guarding my baggage at the inn outside the labyrinth.

 If it is too dangerous for me to fight multiple bronze knights by myself, I can have another person by my side.

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


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


 It does not have to be a human being.

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


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


 So I decided to ask Ai to watch me in my first battle against multiple opponents.

"I don't know. We do not have enough information. But I am not that strong, Master Alphonse. I have mastered the art of combat through my learning function, but I was designed to be a god's servant only for everyday life.

"Yes. If you face a knight in the United Kingdom of Fontana, you will probably be about even with him. I would guess that they would probably be on par with the knight class in the Kingdom of Briaria.

 What a surprise.

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


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


 To me, the Eye seemed very strong.

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


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


 He knows everything, and he knows swordsmanship.

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


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


 I thought he couldn't be weak.

 But Ai denies it.

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


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


 He says he is not that strong.

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


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


 But he made it clear that he was strong enough to be a knight.

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


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


 A knight is strong enough to win an attack by ten well-trained squires at the same time.

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


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


 It would be better to think that Ai's strength is about the same.

 However, there was a problem.

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


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


 It is related to the fact that we have not used the core of the Eye that was in the magic bag.

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


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


 The reason is that this eye has been returned to the state of the nucleus of the yorishiki once.

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


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


 That in itself is necessary to put it in the magic bag.

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


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


 However, there was something that was changed by that.

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


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


 In short, the problem is that the person who is activating the Eye has changed.

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


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


 Basically, it was Ars who put the magic power into the core of the Eye and moved it.

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


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


 Now it is I who put the magic power into the eye and activated it.

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


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


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


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


 The eye and other magical weapons keep moving by using the magic power of the person who activated them.

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


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


 Conversely, it meant that if the activator's magic power was gone, the Eye would stop moving.

 If it had been Ars who had sent the magic power to the core of the Eye, there would probably have been no need to worry about running out of magic power.

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


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


 But now that it is me, there is a possibility that the magic power will run out and Ai will not be able to move.

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


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


 Especially, if Ai's body was damaged, the automatic repair function would work to restore the skeletal part of her body, but this would require more magic power.

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


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


 In other words, the greater the damage to the eye, the more likely it is to stop functioning, and the less my magic power I have.

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


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


 This is the reason why I did not activate the eye as soon as I entered the labyrinth.

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


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


 My magic power is not that much, so there is a possibility that I may run out of magic power.

 I should be careful not to put myself in the center of the arrow too much.

"You needn't worry about that, Mr. Alphonse. My body is somewhere else. This body is only one of the terminals. If you need to, run away as fast as you can without me. There is an auto-repair function, so you should be able to buy some time.
