Copy that, aye.

　Fighting against the Iron Knights in the labyrinth.

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

　Right now, there were three iron knights in front of me, two shield-bearers and one spear-bearer.

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

　They were holding their shields to check our movements and were attacking with spears and swords through the gaps between their shields.

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

　The magic gun in Ai's hand fires magic bullets.

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

　She pulled the trigger three times in a row, and three magic bullets were released.

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

　The small bullets flying at high speed, passing between the shields, hit the spearman in the back in the head.

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

　With a loud clang, the spearman's armor helmet blew off and he fell to the ground.

　It does not stop the function by itself, but it succeeds in buying a little time.

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

　In the meantime, I move toward the shield-bearer.

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

　I send magic not only to my body but also to the armor I wear to protect it.

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

　The effect of the magic power further strengthens the performance of the demon armor.

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

　Not only the defense, but also my physical ability has been greatly improved, and my running speed has increased.

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

　However, the magic bullets cut through the sky again as if to overtake me.

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

　It seems that Ai had already fired the next round right after the previous three rounds.

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

　In order to prevent the attack of the magic bullets, the two shield-bearers leaned back and held their large shields in front of their bodies.

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

　It seems that the bullets cannot penetrate through the shields.

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

　No, perhaps the shields have the power to penetrate the bullets if only the shields are capable of doing so.

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

　The reason why they cannot penetrate the shield is the strength of the iron knight.

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

　Considering the angle at which the magic bullet hits, he slightly changes the angle at which he holds his shield.

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

　As a result, the magic bullet that hit the shield did not penetrate through the shield, but seemed to be shifted to the side.

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

　There was a snapping sound, and the magic bullets flew to the left and right of the shield-bearer.

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

　However, the attack was not meaningless.

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

　The iron knight, distracted by the magic bullet attack, was attacked by a hard fang sword.

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

　With his enhanced physical ability, he thrusts his sword from the side of his shield.

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

　As a result, he breaks the shoulder joint of one of the shield-bearers, making him unable to hold his shield.

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

　In a panic, the other one tries to help the iron knight whose shoulder is destroyed.

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

　But that is a bad idea.

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

　Because he tried to thrust his shield toward me and I tried to flip him away, which distracted my attention from Ai.

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

　Ai calmly observed the movement and had already pulled the trigger of the magic gun.

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

　The magic bullet fired without a sound hits the shield-bearer, who is not paying attention.

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

　The magic bullet hit the weak point in the torso, where the magic stone would be, and succeeded in penetrating through the iron armor and crushing the magic stone.

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

　Meanwhile, I was heading toward the headless spearman who had started to move behind me.

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

　The iron knight, who had only broken the other shoulder, could still move.

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

　But let Ai take care of that one.

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

　Leaving my back to my best and most trusted partner, I faced the spear-bearer.

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

　It seems that he can recognize our movements and act even without his head.

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

　As I rushed toward him, he thrust his spear at me precisely.

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

　However, I can handle the spear handling that I have already seen many times without any problem.

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

　While moving at high speed, he slowly recognizes his surroundings and moves his body accordingly.

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

　I run toward the iron spear that is aimed at my torso, and by twisting it slightly, I avoid it.

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

　When I have closed the distance between me and my opponent, I quickly swing my sword.

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

　I aimed at his elbow joint only, not at the large part of the sword, and made a minimal movement.

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

　With his arm fully extended, the iron knight cannot avoid the attack and is cut off at the elbow.

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

　As a result, the spear in his hand and his forearm are blown off.

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

"One more time."

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

　While watching the movement of his flying arm, he attacks further.

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

　He struck with both of his hard fang swords, and drove the spear-bearer, who had let go of his spear, to the point where he could no longer function.

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

　It seems that the other one had finished in the meantime.

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

　As I rushed to the spear-bearer, Ai seemed to have attacked the other shield-bearer, whose attention had turned to me as well as to the shield-bearer who had been knocked down earlier.

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

　As a result, the iron knight with a shield large enough to cover his entire body had been shot through the magic stone inside his torso from the back side where there was no shield.

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

"Phew. Thanks for your hard work, Ai."

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

"Are you hurt, Mr. Alphonse?"

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

"Of course. Not even a scratch. It's so much easier to fight with you, isn't it? I can trust you with my back.

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

"I'm honored."

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

　Even after I defeated the iron knight with the shield by myself, we remained in the labyrinth.

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

　And during that time, we continued to fight against the magical armored soldiers that appeared around here.

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

　Basically I was fighting alone, but when more than one Iron Knight appeared like this, Ai joined in the fight.

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

　Ai's skill with a magic gun was amazing, as she could shoot exactly where she was aiming.

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

　Even when I was fighting with a sword against the armored soldiers, he hit only the armored soldiers without hitting me, his ally.

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

　With Ai's support, I had been able to continue fighting in this labyrinth for more than ten days without suffering any particular injuries.

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

"...... but, let's go home for once."

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

Are you sure you're ready to go?

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

"Yeah. Because, you know, I'm pretty dirty. It's hard to stay clean when you've been moving around in a hole like this for so long."

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

　We still have food.

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

　There are still some canned goods in the magic bag.

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

　But I was worried about the dirt.

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

　At times like this, I wish I had a life magic.

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

　Especially if I had the life magic [Wash], I could clean the dirt on my body and clothes in an instant.

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

　But I can't use [Wash].

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

　Because I'm only five years old.

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

　In order to be able to use life magic, I have to be baptized in the church in the year I turn six.

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

　I can't use magic because I haven't been baptized yet.

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

　But that will be over soon.

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

　Because the year will soon be over.

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

　Next year, I will be six years old.

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

　Then I will be able to use magic.

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

　I can't stay cooped up in this labyrinth for that.

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

　I must return to the United Kingdom of Fontana where the church is located.

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

　We succeeded in defeating several Iron Knights and decided to go outside after our long stay in the labyrinth.
