13 Episode 12 ~ In front of the labyrinth ~






Then came the promised day a month later.
Morrigan and Earth's calendars are the same, and to begin with, it was the brave men who were first summoned to this world who introduced the concept of a calendar to the inhabitants of Morrigan.
Apparently, that's not the only thing the brave men of the past introduced to the world, and thanks to them, the food culture has advanced considerably.

I'll have to go to the castle town next time.
Maybe they might have curry.
...... I want to eat my mother's curry.

I want to go home.


I'm not going to be able to go back. Then let's go, to the labyrinth.


Just like in the other world, five life force and magic potions were given to each of them from the castle.
The life force potion is something that, when sprinkled on the wound, can heal a minor wound in an instant.
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find the right one.
The brave group was pale with that alone, though.

Will they be okay, these guys.
I'm going to go cut up demons and stuff now. ......


The group departed with a jaunt-like atmosphere, but surprisingly the labyrinth was right there, through the forest.

Is it safe to be so close to the royal castle?
In the unlikely event that demons flooded out of the labyrinth, it would be all over in one shot.


''Oh, the royal castle has a powerful ward, so even if the demons flood in, it will be safe.


As if he read my thoughts, Commander Saran looks at me and says.
With a very smiling face.

Esper Saran.



When I thought the forest suddenly opened up, I saw a huge entrance that seemed to be a labyrinth and many people.
We narrowed our eyes as if dazzled by the sudden light.
Some of the guys were frightened in front of a large number of people.
People flocked to us all at once as we emerged from the forest.
It was like a war between mothers at the supermarket in the evening.
We were so surprised that we stopped walking.
The knights are stopping us, but there is no doubt that they will be here any moment.


''Don't stop. You are brave men and women. Stand tall in front of your people.


Commander Saran's voice was not his usual fluffy voice, but a piquant, taut voice, blackmailing him.
It was a small voice, but somehow it sounded heavy.
Before I knew it, I was standing tall.

Is it some kind of skill?


''Commander Saran!!!!''

""Jiel-sama!"

"'Brave Lord!


Yellow cheers.
Commander Saran and Deputy Commander Ziel are both terribly popular.
At the same time, we're also being called upon.
The hapless brave man in the front was already smiling and showing affection.

Well, he's got a nice face, you know.

I'm walking at the back of the line, oblivious to the signs.
When I looked around, I saw a hooded person casting a sharp glance at me.
Is it a woman in terms of height?
She's staring at us as if we were her parents' enemies.

I don't know why they are holding a grudge against us, as we've never been out of the castle and this is the first time we've been out of the house, but looking at us with a murderous intent is uncomfortable, so please don't do it.


I sneaked out of the line and approached the hooded man.
Commander Saran was looking at me with a sideways glance, so it's okay.
No, or rather, is it bad considering the sermon that followed?


Hey, honey, why are you staring at me like that?


As briskly as possible, I call out to him.
The hooded man turns to me with a very surprised look on his face.


'......,'

Oh, I'm not trying to follow the Order or anything. I'm just curious why you're trying to kill so many people. I'm just an onlooker.


When I asked again why, the hooded man replied reluctantly.


'...... do you know what sacrifices they are being summoned to make?


The voice was clear and bell-like, and it was a pretty girl voice.
Probably about our age.


...... No, sorry, I don't understand.

'Yes. Well, I'll see you when I get that answer.


With that, she disappears into the crowd.
I ponder on the spot.

The Sacrifice of Summoning .......
In common revenge novels, the family of the summoned person is killed, or people of a discriminated race are killed.

I don't really want to think about the former.
The latter will also be a tough one to think about for the future of this world.

If my guess is correct, then what are the kings thinking?


I stayed there for a long time until Commander Saran disappeared and came to call out to me.
