"Wow. There really is a meadow!　Master. Why is there a meadow?"

"I don't know. Just accept that it's a labyrinth. Marco was collecting information on adventurers, so he must have known about it.

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

"Well, it's a labyrinth, isn't it? I knew that, but it's amazing to see it in person.

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

　Marco is nodding his head. I don't want to get into it, but if you're so easily convinced, that worries me a bit. But compared to the wary, spiky attitude he had when we first met him, this is definitely better.

　Sarah and the others carefully repeated the search and battle, easily breaking through to the fifth layer and arriving at the grassland of the sixth layer. The slimes and goblins are no longer a match for them.

　The demons are exterminated by the spirit magic that Sarah and the others unleash with a crack and a whack. Sylphy told me that even floating spirits have no problem with orcs.

　However, it is said that the power of the spell is limited, so it will be difficult if it encounters enemies with strong defenses. If we consider this labyrinth, the trolls in the 16th layer, the Marshland Lizard in the 26th layer, and the skalengecks from which my armor is made are said to be the ones that make it hard for me.

　Hmmm. If we have a vanguard and play the role of a turret, we should have no problem, but if Sarah and the others are only spiritists, we'll have a hard time if we don't think about fighting from the trolls of the 16th layer.

"Master. We are going to defeat the roughbirds from this layer, right?"

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

"Yes. The rest is just gathering herbs. It's our first day, so let's kill ten ruffbirds and go back. The goal is to kill them cleanly because they're meat. If we can get the heads off, it'll make the hunt easier. Also, the slimes, goblins, kobolds, and ruffbirds are the ones you'll encounter in this layer, so don't be too careful with the ruffbirds.

　Two pieces of meat are worth one request, which means five requests are completed. By the way, one request is completed for 30 herbs. Speaking of that, how many times do I have to accomplish a request to raise my rank?　I'll ask the guild when I go to report.

　But two chickens as tall as I am are worth 40,000 elt...... even if the dismantling reduces the number of parts that can be eaten, which explains why the rough birds are so cheap. The dismantling fee is deducted, but I heard that the parts you don't usually take home are worth money, so maybe you get a little extra?

"Yes. Master."

"Master. I'm not good at cutting attacks, what should I do?"

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

"Hmm?　Well, since we're going for the meat, just aim for the legs or the head. You don't have to take off the head, just knock it down and you're good to go.

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

　It's a simple thing, but I'm glad I can answer your question. It makes me feel like a master.

"Where's Beru?"

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

　Oh, by the way, you promised to help me. Fuku and the others have been so active that we've hardly had any work to do as guards, so I'll ask you to go and gather some medicinal herbs for me.

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

Will you and Belle go look for medicinal herbs?

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

"Yes, sir. I can do it! Queue "I'll find a drug." "Coo-coo."

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

"Yeah. Nice to meet you. Oh, and this is for Sara and the others, but there seem to be a lot of adventurers here too, so try to stay away from other adventurers. It will only make you uncomfortable if you get too close."

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

　When I passed adventurers in the cave, they blatantly avoided me when they knew it was me, so I don't think it's a problem, but it's important to be cautious.　

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

　I nodded my head in warning and sent them off in high spirits, and we decided to start exploring the meadow in earnest. We decided to explore the meadow in earnest, though Sylphy and I were just watching from the back.

　Mame-chan goes out to scout the area and walks toward the direction where no one is around. Oh! Mame-chan comes back and stops suddenly in front of Kikka. This pattern means they found the enemy.

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

"Onii-chan! girl, the monsters are coming."

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

Okay. - Okay.

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

　Sarah and Marco carefully move forward with Kikka in between them, preparing for the demons. Something is coming from far away. The grassland's good visibility makes it easier for them to spot us.

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

　The last time I was here, I ran through almost the shortest distance while quickly defeating the attacking enemies. I didn't pay much attention to it, but I guess you can learn a lot of things if you go carefully.

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

　Once you get close enough, you can figure out what the demon is. Kobolds......... are sometimes cute in novels, but Kobolds in this world are not cute at all.

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

　They bare their teeth and threaten us, and they drool like they are ready to eat us, so they are not cute at all. Well, it seems that he feels guilty to knock them down when they are cute, and in a way, it might be gentler if they are not cute.

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

"Marco. Kikka. There are five Kobolds coming. They seem to move faster than goblins, so be careful."

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

"Okay. I'll take the two on the right, you take the two on the left. Kicker is in the middle.

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

　Marco gives quick instructions and waits for the Kobolds. Waiting for ...... is no wonder that they have been fighting only slow-moving enemies so far, but do they have a habit of attacking after they get close to some extent?

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

　The Kobolds are defeated without any problem after Fuchu and her friends' magic is applied. Sarah and the others have finished collecting the magic stone, so we call them together.

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

"Hey, guys! I was just wondering, we don't have to wait for the enemy to come.

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

　When I say this, Sara and the others look at me with a puzzled look on their faces and then tilt their heads.

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

"Master. I don't understand.

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

"You know what? You saw the Kobolds running toward us from afar. You don't have to wait for them to come this far, just ask Fukuchan and the others to attack them when they see them. Since there is no specific range, it is safer to kill them as far away from you as possible. However, if the spirits leave, they will be defenseless until you summon them if something happens, so it is better to have one of them stay behind to make sure."

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

　Fuchu and the others will fly away and release their magic, so range is irrelevant. When Bell and the others were ahead of us in the nest of the undead, I had the wraiths and the others take care of them first. To be honest, I think if we tell them to kill the demons, they'll kill them all.

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

　Well, in that case, you have to ask them in detail, otherwise the materials will be wasted. Fukuchan and the others are floating spirits, so it would be better if they are within visual range.

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

"Are you saying that you were able to attack Kobolds when you saw them earlier?"

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

"Yes. If Sara had asked Fuchu to defeat the Kobold at that point, he would have done it.

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

"That's what I was thinking. Fuchu can fly close by without being noticed. ...... I'll discuss what more we can do together."

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

　You're the master!　I was pleasantly surprised by the way Sarah and the others looked at me. I hide my feelings inside and continue talking with an air of "this much is nothing". As a master, I have to maintain my dignity, and that's why I have a hard time.

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

"Yes, the spirits can do a lot more than Sara and the others think they can, so I've told you many times to communicate with them and get to know them well.

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

"Understood. Marco and Kikka, you understand, don't you?

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

Okay.

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

"All right. Then let's resume our search."

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

　Sara and her team put safety first, focusing on searching for the enemy, and repeated surprise attacks from a long distance, spotting the demons before they found us. I don't mean to sound so self-centered, but this is one-sided. If the level of damage can be done by Huku and her team, the first attack is almost certain to hit a vital point.

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

　It is quite dangerous to carelessly spread the way of communication with spirits. It's a good thing that the spirits are not likely to like it, but if you can convince them, you can assassinate them all you want.

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

"Sounds good. The way we have been fighting so far is the safest way to fight. Let's try something else next time.

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

"Another way to fight?"

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

　Sarah asks, tilting her head. Maybe she doesn't understand the need for it because she's been doing so well so far.

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

"Yes. The demons up to now have been demons that can be defeated with a single blow, but that's not going to be the case as we move forward. That's when we need to train to devise ways to fight with weaker opponents."

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

"Master. What do I have to do to get the best out of it?"

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

"Yes. I think it's best to think up your own fighting style, but as a hint, ...... in Uri's case, if you can't beat the enemy with a single blow, you might ask Uri to soften the ground so much that the enemy's feet sink in."

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

"Is it enough to make your feet sink?"

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

　Sara is pondering something I said,

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

"Yeah. If they're big, we can't sink all of them with uli. If we make their footing unstable and make them move slower, we'll be able to attack them more often and defeat them slowly and safely even if they can't be defeated with a single blow. So from now on, let's not only defeat them, but also learn how to use auxiliary magic.

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

"I see. ...... is the use of auxiliary magic. I understand. I'll do my best.

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

　I'm going to take some time off and give Sarah and the others some time to strategize. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what kind of magic they come up with. While I was leisurely observing Sarah and the others, I saw Belle and Rain flying towards me.

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

"Yuta! I got a lot of Belle!" "Cue!"

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

　Belle comes down from the sky with herbs in her arms and Rain on her back. ...... What's that?　Perhaps the herbs look like they are flying?

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

"Sarah. You know how I feel about Belle and Rain, don't you?　What does it look like?"

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

"It looks like flying herbs."

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

"I see. Thank you."

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

　I knew it! I knew it! I can't fly fast with herbs in my hand, and if ...... adventurers saw me ...... yeah?　Well, that's not a problem. It might create some kind of urban legend, but that's all, and I don't care if it bothers the adventurers.

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

　Scaring the public is a problem, but a genie getting herbs from the spirits in the labyrinth is no problem at all.

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

"Yuta?" Cue?"

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

　While I was thinking, Belle and Rain had arrived in front of me. Oops, I must give them a compliment.

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

"Belle, Rain. You got a lot for me. Thank you."

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

　I thanked him and took the herb, stroking it firmly.

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

"Kyafu. "I got a lot of berne." "Coo-coo!"

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

"Yeah. You're very helpful. Thank you both. You did a great job."

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

　Belle's chest heaves with pride, and Rain, who nods her head, strokes her again. While we were playing and chewing on our happiness, Tulu and Tamamo came back with a bunch of medicinal herbs.

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

"I found a lot!" "Kukukoo!

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

"You really found a lot. Thank you, Tulu and Tamamo. You've been very helpful.

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

　He thanks them and takes the herbs and puts them away. Tulu is looking at me with sparkling eyes, and Tamamo is wagging her tail at full throttle. Of course, I know what to do. I'm going to give him all the compliments I can.

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

　I thank her and pet her head and fluff her tamamo and fluff her tamamo and fluff her up some more. While I'm petting them as hard as I can, Belle and Rain join me, and I pet them even harder.

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

"Yuta! I think it's time to go, don't you?　It's a labyrinth, so you have to be a little more tense. Also, no matter how much we know the spirits are there, to Sara and the others, it looks like Yuta is making a big fuss all by himself."

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

".................. ah, cohon. Well, we're almost to the target. Let's resume our search.

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

　Sylphy's words bring me back to my senses and I get into position. I glance at Sara and the others, but they don't look at me strangely. It seems that I have avoided a major blow to my master's dignity. Thank you, Sylphy. We bow to Sylphy and resume our search.

"I guess we've achieved our goal. Good job, guys."

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

　Sarah and her team killed ten ruffbirds while trying out different fighting styles against goblins and kobolds. They seem to have a lot of things to think about and are discussing about what they should reflect on, even though they achieved their goal without any problems.

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

　They are too serious for me to say anything. Even Kikka, the youngest of the group, listens intently and sometimes expresses her opinions. As a teacher, I should be happy, but I also want to tell her to be ...... careful and to be careful not to get into danger because she is not careful.

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

"Look, we can discuss this after we get back to the lodge. There will be demons on the way back too, so don't let your guard down.

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

　We urge Sarah and the others to talk and go back the way we came in order to leave the labyrinth. Sara and the others' debut in the labyrinth is going to be a success, well, that's good.
