After defeating the Phantom Wolf.

What do you mean something is wrong?

　Lara rolled her eyes and asked a question.

'It's weird that Phantom Wolf is in one layer........'

　To which I would reply shortly.
　But Lara didn't understand much, and only nodded her head cutely.

'Do you know what Marise would mean by that?'

　I try and talk to Marise to see if she'll try it.

'Well, um...'

　She continued as she stroked her own hair as if she was pulling out her memories.

''Phantom Wolf........I believe it's a demon that lives by eating the 'souls' of humans and demons. That means it's in one layer........
'Yes. If we know that basic information, Marise should be able to get the answer.
''Hmm........The deeper you go into the underground labyrinth, the more difficult it becomes as a dungeon.

　It was Marise who mumbled to herself, but eventually her eyes lit up.

"...one layer less dead...!　So it's strange to see a phantom wolf in a single layer where there should be few dead 'souls'.

　He said excitedly.

'Yes. Maryse is still very intelligent.'

　Then I patted Marise's head.

　Then she said.



　He turned over with a red face.

　She was right, it's strange that a phantom wolf that is supposed to eat 'souls' comes out in one layer.
　

　And yet the fact that you are in one layer.

''Deep inside.......in other words, something is happening in the lower levels of the underground labyrinth?

　I've come to that conclusion.

"Kurt, what's going on?
I have a bad feeling about this.
I feel like I have a weird magical power... or something.

　Lara, Marise. And Cynthia uttered that in turn.

I'm not sure about that yet. I'm sure that something is happening in the depths of the underground labyrinth.

　I look at the stairs leading to the lower levels.
　By going down these stairs and stepping through several layers (areas), I can reach the deepest part of this underground labyrinth.

''Kuh, even Kurt can't figure it out!
It's going to take some time.
I don't know how far down it is I don't know...

　Maybe it's because I said so, but Lara and the other three were shying away.
　It's true that if you don't know how far down you have to go to reach that 'innermost' place, you'll be worried.
　Even though this is a dungeon. You don't know what kind of threats are waiting for you.

　However, it's not just to be feared.
　They are not the same as the adventurers at the entrance of the underground labyrinth, who are not prepared for this, but they are caught up in the treasure.
　The three of them are analyzing things calmly and calmly.
　It's not just the students of the magical academy, but also the adventurers who are already ahead of the pack.

　But.

The only thing you need to worry about is the fact that you're not the only one. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the deepest part of the city, but I know where it is. Just be sure.
""What?"

　The three of them shouted in unison.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do this.

The place where that something is happening is the 300th layer of this underground labyrinth. Apparently, that is the deepest part of the underground labyrinth.
""Three hundred layers!"

　Again, the three of them shouted in surprise at the same time.

　Hearing this, the adventurers around them also started to make a commotion.


''Say, three hundred layers?
'It's that deep of a dungeon!
'I've never heard of a three-hundred-layered underground labyrinth...'
I've only been down to the fifth level in the Treasure Maze.
I thought it was at most ten layers long.
I mean, how do you know that?
'Oh come on, you don't know the name of the greatest wizard of all time, 'Kurt'? He's wearing a magic academy uniform, and I'm sure he's the one.
Then no wonder you understand.


　Oh, come on, ten layers. That's not just an underground maze, that's a child's secret base.

"...Kurt. That's bullshit to know that.......how wide is the range of Kurt's detection magic.......?

　Cynthia opened her small mouth with an ache.

''It's a pretty massive underground labyrinth it's probably the best in the world.
'Well, it's a medium-sized underground labyrinth. Not much, I guess. Lower-middle class, I guess.
Yeah.
Hmm?

　Marise's muttered voice and mine just happened to coincide with each other.
　I locked eyes with her.

'Kokon ... well let's head over there. Will the three of you follow me?

　He coughed out a deceptive cough and then asked the three of them.
　The three of them seem to be quite fearful when they hear that it's three hundred layers.
　I don't think that's a bad thing. It's because the ability to analyze the current situation is also important.

　But first, Lara clenched her fists.

'Yes!　If Kurt goes, of course I'll follow him. It's a good idea to have a party at the school. You can't leave it to Kurt alone.

　They released powerful words.
　Marise and Cynthia were not to be outdone.

Yes....!　Plus, I think it's safe to have Kurt around.
Cynthia is with Kurt....

　He continued.

　I look into the eyes of three people.
　The light of a firm will is in them. 'This will work.

'Okay, okay. I'm sure you'll be relieved to know that the three of you are coming. The three of us will traverse this underground labyrinth.

　When I said those words, the three of them brightened up quickly.

'But how shall we go about it?　You don't think Kurt you're going to go through them one layer at a time in order, do you?
Of course.

　I answer Lara's question by crossing my arms.
　I don't have time for that kind of haphazard behavior.
　This underground labyrinth, just like the Treasure Labyrinth, should have a secret path called the "Secret Path".
　Normally, it is an underground labyrinth that can only be descended one layer at a time, but with the use of the "secret pathway," it is possible to move through the levels in an instant... and so on.
　This time, let's find it again and aim for the 300th layer efficiently.

I'm going to go........just so you know, be vigilant.　I don't have a complete picture of what's in store for me, you know.

　I said that to the three of them and then stepped into the second layer first.

The other adventurers must have completely lost their will to fight when they heard about the 'three hundred layers'.
　Other than Lara and the other three, there was no sign of anyone else following them.
