I'm sorry, too...

Yeah, yeah. I don't mind.

　After a few moments, the priest girl woke up.
　And when she was about to scream out again, I somehow managed to tell her to calm down, and how I was going to quiet her down. I never thought the day would come when I would have to deal with a real human being to appease them.
　A girl who seemed to be younger than me, probably younger than me, dressed in a white cassock. Her lustrous silvery hair was swept back and clothed, and her face was neat underneath it. She must have been hiding in the labyrinth for a long time, and somehow the dirt was noticeable on her face.
　And the one he wears is the one that priests wear during rituals. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. A priest is a vocation that can mainly use recovery magic, and I've heard that a high level priest can also revive the dead. However, it seems that it is only the high priest in history and does not exist in reality.

''Ah, um.......thank you for saving me.

Yeah well, I just happened to be passing by.

'No, nevertheless I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your mercy and for the guidance of St. Muller.

'Oh, um...'

　It's not that I have anything to do with St. Muller or anything like that.
　But, as a priest, I believe that faith is the most important thing for this girl. I'm sure you'll find that Mullerian religion, which is believed in over sixty percent of the continent, is the only religion that adheres to the god Muller. Incidentally, I was given my vocation in the temple of the Mullerian religion.
　It's a very good idea to have a good time with them.

Well my name is Maria Linophallus. And what is your name?

Yeah, I'm...

　I was trying to say my name normally, and I thought for a minute.
　This situation is crazy. This situation with the minotaur and the red caps - Milo and Gilanka - behind me, who are not attacking me in any way.
　Then one word is enough to explain it squarely.

'I am Noah Whitefield, the Demon Wizard.

Master Noah the demon messenger?

'Yes. 'Yes, I am a profession that allows me to tame demons and use them as my companions. By the way, the minotaur and red cap behind me are my friends. Well, they just became my friends just now.

Have you been...?

Yes.

　She nodded that easily in response to Maria's question.
　In fact, it is that minotaur that they were fighting with the trio. I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that we have more friends, but I wanted to check things out, so I kept them away.
　If I had offered my assistance at that time, the remaining two people here might not have died.
　Maria lays her hands on the corpses of these two men.

'........were you long-time friends?

'No ... not really. I was just invited to Kite's party the other day.

Okay.

''But Kite-san was a good person. I wasn't used to adventuring so much, but she always took care of me. Yulia-san and I were lovers, though, and she would get mad at me every time she did.

　Huh, Maria smiled sadly.
　Then she dropped her combined hands and stood up as it was.

''Um, Noah-sama,''

Hmm?

Well, I'd like to ask you to do something for me, but...

'Yeah, I'll walk you to the entrance. As expected, I can't leave a single priest in this place.

Thank you very much.

　Rather, that's why I've been waiting. Even though I saved your life, if I leave you here, you might die again. A priest, a profession with no combat skills and superior recovery and auxiliary magic, can't hide in the labyrinth alone.
　That's why I was planning to take him with me when he woke up and take him to the entrance.
　Of course, I have no ulterior motive. Not in the slightest. It's not that I'm happy to be able to go with a girl or anything like that.
　.........well, it's fine, at least for a little while.

　Sadly, Maria put her hands together with the last of the two corpses and turned away as it were.
　I wonder if she won't take something like the hair of the deceased with her. Oh, come to think of it, in Mullerianism, it would be an act of hurting a corpse. I don't remember it well.

'Milo, Gilanka, let's go.

Grrrr....

"Keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　I let Milo and Gilanka lead the way, and Maria walks half a step behind me.
　Once we climb further up, I won't have to be on guard anymore either. There are no demons faster than Gilanka Red Cap up here. And they're all demons that I can take down with a little poke. Even with Maria with me, it's no problem.

''Um, Noah-sama.''

What's going on?

Is Master Noah here by himself?

No, well...

　I don't want to sound as if I'm a loner.
　But it's true that I am. It's not like I have anyone else to travel with. Right now, though, I have Milo and Gilanka.
　Oh, I think I'll try 'I won't take them down in one hit' for a few more of them before I go back. At the upper levels, they seem too weak to be able to take out the force.

It's a long story.

Is it a problem?

What's the one thing you don't want to talk about?

'Eh....'

　He smiles sadly, "Huh.
　Everyone has things they don't want to talk about. It's even more so if it's a serious past.
　It's not that I don't have a past like that, but I still have circumstances that I don't want to talk about.
　It is naturally about the "hero".
　I'm not going to be able to tell you, but I'm going to pretend that I have a situation that I don't want to talk about. It's a very good idea, but it's not a good idea to be a part of it.

''........I'm sorry about that.

Okay.

　And Maria was apparently an airhead in her own right.

'So ... um, Noah-sama's, what is your class?'

Class?

''Ah, yes.

....

　Not good. I don't know what you're talking about.
　What is D? What is D? What is class? I've never heard of such strange criteria.
　I don't know what it is. The way Maria is looking at me, she's got a twinkle in her eye.
　It's hard to say what this is all about.

"Well...

Yes, sir.

Well, you get the general idea, don't you?

'Since you follow the minotaur in that way, Master Noah I'm sure you're above grade A.

Well, that's about it.

　What is A. Is D low and A high as a standard?
　Well, for now, what I mimic is 'a mysterious man who doesn't want to talk much about himself'. I don't have any particular reason for this.

　By the way, although I'm talking in a relaxed manner like this, Milo and Gilanka are in the middle of fighting hard in front of us.
　However, the fact that they are able to finish the battle without getting any injuries is impressive.

''Kyah!''

Oops.

　After passing through Milo and Gilanka, a lone wolf approached us.
　However, it's not a strong individual like the lowest level Night King Wolf (Night Lord Wolf). It's just a wolf. It's just a demonic attribute.
　That's just a blow to me.

"Hmph!

Geez!

　The wolves are blown away by my blow and slammed against the wall, and then they disappear as a mist.
　Wolves pose a threat because they come in packs and in cliques. There's no threat, even if only one of them is coming at you.

''That's as good as it gets!　You are strong!

Yeah.

　It's not so bad to be lifted up on the side like that, I thought.
　Oh, I remembered that wolf earlier, I should have verified it instead of defeating it with a single blow.
