37 36. Two wheels going crazy.txt (2/2)

'I guess that means he's not going to block the way anymore.

'Hmm. You seem to have a minimum level of strength.'

'C'mon. You beat me and you're at least ....... Even an uncle like this can hurt you.

'This is only temporary, but I can leave your daughter in charge of Mr. Christ.

Mr. Hein looks at me, ignoring Mr. Hopes' words.

His eyes are still calm.

'So, Mr. Hein. Are you not challenging my knight?'

'There is no need. Except for Mr. Hopes, but I have to strictly adhere to the 'commandments' as an example: ....... Besides, even though your daughter has a crush on you, this seems to be a fine love affair. As an educator, I'm rooting for you wholeheartedly.

'Oh, I'm glad to hear that my enthusiasm is shared by Mr. Hine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mr. Hein and Rustyala are exchanging sparks with each other only in the face of construction.

Both of them are polite in their words, but I can sense the spirit of not showing any carelessness.

However, next to her, Hopes-san is depressed, muttering, ”I'm separate, heck, I'm not. I feel like I'm starting to understand where he stands. He's supposed to be an elder, but I pity him.

''Unless you, Christ-kun, have a power that is unmatched by the 'Seven Celestial Knights' of Heaven, that is a different story. Once this is known, the top of the house will feel a little more at ease. The young lady isn't trying to break even that ritual either, is she?

'Yes, of course. I'll be back once the Nativity is over.

'Then Christ Eurasia is treated as a hero who was spotted by some Rastiara (・・・・・・・・). I will have to return once to report them.

'So that's what I've been saying ever since we were talking in the cathedral. You must go quickly.

Rastiara says so and tries to get rid of Hein-san by shushing her hands away.

The two knights chuckle at that and slowly start walking towards the 19th layer.

And as they pass me, Hein-san mutters quietly.

''--Please take care of your daughter.

It was a gentle voice.

It wasn't the hard voice I heard earlier, but a voice of compassion that seemed to come from the bottom of my heart.

Surprised by the gentle tone, I looked at Mr. Hein's face.

He was smiling.

The sweet mask, like the prince in a fairy tale, makes that smile stand out.

It's a smile that even I, a man, can't help but admire.

I nod lightly and return it.

After confirming this, Hein-san nods back and leaves for the stairs leading to the 19th level.

When the two of them are out of sight, Rustyala breathes as if a weight has been lifted from her shoulders.

''Whew ....... I didn't expect that guy to be waiting for me here. I'm surprised!

I drown out my earlier performance like a fog and return to my usual Rustyara.

Maria, who had been taking a step back to watch, unable to swallow the situation, comes up to us.

''Is it okay? 'Master.'

'Yeah, I'm fine. It's just a game.

'What the hell is it with those guys? And, oh, what about your feelings: ......

I heard they're from Rastiara's house. And don't worry about your feelings for them, that's all a lie.

Lie, is it ......?

Maria stares into my eyes as she ruminates over my words. It's as if she's trying to find out what's behind the words, but this is the only truth that's not contrary to the truth.

'Oh, it's a lie. If a knight like that one shows up, Maria should just stand back and watch the little play.

...... Got it.

I don't know if she really convinced me, but Maria nodded.

'More importantly, The Connection. Let's try that magic.

I walk to the end of the room to install the magic, which was my original purpose.

Hearing this, Rustyala comes up to me with interest.

''Oh, that's the one in the example, isn't it?''

By the time I reach here, I've finished explaining it to Rustyala. It's like he's expecting to see what the Connection, a high-level dimensional magic, is like.

''It's quiet here and there's not much magic in the air. It's a perfect place. --It's a great place to be.

I spent my magic power to generate magic doors.

With 10 layers, it fizzled out quickly, but with these 20 layers, the magic construction was smooth.

I'm getting used to the image I'm building, and I can succeed with magic in a small amount of time.

A door of magic power stood a few meters away from the wall of the room.

''Alright, it's a success.''

I push open the magic door and see that my living room is beyond it.

'Huh, so this is a magic door. Let me just go through it. --Oh, wow.

Rastiara goes back and forth through the door, amused.

His hands are rough, so this one polishes down his magic to reinforce the door.

''Don't handle it roughly!　That door is fragile--oh.

With the opening and closing of the door for the umpteenth time, the door in front of me turned into a fog and scraped away.

It was just at the moment when Rastiara went to the other side, so it was in the form of being left behind.

''Eh. This isn't good, master.''

Magic Connection!

I can't help it, so I cast the spell again.

I pray that the door on the other side hasn't disappeared, and I regenerate the door on this side.

I can see that my remaining MP is decreasing at a tremendous rate.

Then I test to see if the door is still connected to the house.

I slowly open the door and see Rustyala on the other side in a cold sweat.

'Ah, Christ. I was surprised when it suddenly stopped opening: ......

You broke it. ......

No, you don't, do you?　Um, ...... sorry.

You don't have to do it. Come on back.

I pull Lastiara's hand away from the apologetic Rustyala and move her to this side of the house.

'But I don't know why the door on the one at home didn't disappear. It was kind of sturdy and ......

'That one took a lot of magic and time to make this morning. It's no surprise that the perfection is different.

Oh, I see.

'Ha, they took more than half of my MP: ......'

'No, I'm really, really sorry. I'm sorry.

The tension is lowered, unusually for Rastiara, and he is fidgety.

Then Maria interjects.

'If your MP has decreased that much, shouldn't you go back and rest?　You're just in time for the Connection to be a success, too: ......

Indeed, Maria was right.

Even though we went straight down the ”right path”, it took us a while to get to the 20th layer.

Physically, it's a good time to round up.

But Rustyala wouldn't nod her head.

It was the layers from here on out that she enjoyed.

'Eh, yeah. I wonder if that would bother me...''

Rustyala disagreed, slurring his words, to which Maria countered.

'Besides, I've accumulated some experience and I want to go to church. If I don't improve my level, I won't be of any use to my master.'

''Oh, that's okay, I'll level up for you. I can still imitate a priestess in this.

'What, Mr. Rustyala is ......?　But I still feel like you have to be in your day job to feel comfortable with this kind of thing, so I'm going to go to .......

No, I'm fine, I'm fine!　I've even leveled up Christ, I've done that for you!

Forced.

I remember the forced leveling up of the first day and give a bitter smile.

Seeing my expression, Maria looks at me with concern.

''Master--''

He's given his opinion, but he's going to leave the decision-making power to me.

After giving it some thought, I answer, ”You can ask them to level up.

'Let them level up. It's true that Rastiala can do it. And my MP, he's not completely exhausted. I'll be fine until it's time to work at the bar. Let's go a little further.

'I see. ....... If your master says so, then .......

I took a pause.

Maria seemed to want me to return soon, so I muttered in disappointment.

Seeing this, Rustyala at least speaks to Maria in a cheerful voice.

''We won't be disturbed here, and the leveling up is just fine. Here, this way, Maria-chan!

I checked Maria's experience and she has accumulated enough to level up.

Rastiara also has a skill similar to my 'display', so I guess I can tell that.

Maria looks a bit sulky and walks towards Rastiara.

''............''

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mad at me, Maria. Level up, level up.

I'm not angry.

'Oh, I'm angry ......'

I can't see Maria's face from my position, but I can see the bad mood in Rustiala's expression.

And after a while, a white light surrounds Rustiala and Maria.

''Alright. The level has gone up!''

'Thank you. Now you can go to .......

Maria clasps her hands together forcefully.

Maria has raised the bar and is showing a lot of motivation.

But to be honest--.

It's obvious if you compare it to my status.

There's an absolute difference in the ability value, even though our levels are only 3 different.

Maria probably doesn't want to lose her place in the labyrinth.

I can't say what I need to say, as the face of Maria, who was happily exploring the labyrinth, comes to mind.

'Master!　So, let's go. I should be stronger now. This time--

Me and Rustyala can see it, so we know.

Maria can't see, so she braves it.

The whole time behind me and Maria as we descend to the 21st layer, Rustyala is hiding his mouth with his hand.
