105 Episode 105 "Saint of Sabishinbo (Tentative) and Promised Capture".txt (1/2)

Saint Delilira?

Is she the legendary saint who lived near here?

And in the surrounding area is the magic circle of the ancient elves - the ”magic points” that gather magic power.

So that means....

In other words, the owner of the voice (you) is the residual thought, ghost or undead of 'Saint Delilira' and wants to play with us. This cave was built for that purpose, using magical power. The saint was waiting for someone to notice it.

And she's asking us to go deeper. In other words, she wants us to capture this place. That's what you're playing with and ...... there's a temple at the goal?

”............ Delilirah, you've run out of things to say. ......

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

'No, I love smart people. Maybe you have the likes of Delilira's friends. ■■■■■, ■■■■■■■, ■'

The voice of the saint Delilira (as she calls herself) mixed with words I didn't know.

”...... 'Delilira,' 'Delilira,' 'good thing,' 'give'... 'come'.

Cecil stood on his toes and whispered into my ear.

'Ancient language?'

Yes. It's vaguely pronounced, but it's kind of a one-word phrase.

''So, that means the saint is a demoness ...... no, not that one.

According to Aine's story, there was a dark elf in the Saintess's group.

It would be better to think that it was a demon race, and that the saint learned the ancient language from him.

''Um, Saintess. I didn't quite catch what you said, what?

But let's blurt it out here.

'...... I'll give you a good one when you get to Delilira's place.

A disappointed voice cracked in the cave.

It was still just the same voice, but no figure.

'What's the good stuff?'

'Wouldn't it be funny if I said that?

That's right.

”Imagine what this labyrinth is made of. Hmmmph!

The Lady is proud of herself.

All around us, the walls of the cave glow faintly.

It's several meters wide and about twice our height. In addition to the light from the walls, Cecil's ”light” is also floating on the floor, so we have a pretty good view. The cave is about 20 meters long, and there is an iron door at the end of it. It is the entrance to the labyrinth. If this was made by an individual, it would be a very high level of existence.

''Rita. Any sign of a demon ahead?

Can you give me a minute?

Rita put her hand up next to her beast ears and closed her eyes.

'I'm not anywhere near ............. At least, I don't sense any sign of him.

''Cecil, please take care of the 'magic detection' too. On the ground or deep in the labyrinth, which is the stronger reaction to magic?

Deep in the maze.

Cecil shook his long, slender ears with a twitch and said, ''The 'magic point' seems to be at the center of this labyrinth.

''The 'magic point' seems to be in the center of this labyrinth.

''It's like the saint is using the magic of 'magic points' to maintain this labyrinth.

'Yes. I think they're using it to hide this labyrinth and create all sorts of phenomena.

Cecil teased my hand with his fingers and nodded.

The 'Part of the Heavenly Dragon's Magic' seems to be deep in the labyrinth.

It's so annoying.

''Cecil, Rita. I'm sorry, but will you come with me?

'I think that's where I'm asking you to go against me!　Nagi-sama!

Cecil looked at me with a surprised face.

I ...... want to meet someone who knows the demon race.

So ...... I'll do whatever I can to help you after this ...... I'm a slave and it's hard for me to ask my master for a favor, but ...... please come with me! Please go to ............, when I should be the one to tell you to go to ......

No, I'm simply curious.

I'll take Cecil's words of ”I'll do anything you want” as well.

Rita said...

The purpose of this quest is to collect the 'Heavenly Dragon's Residual Magic Power'. I'll do what's necessary. I'm Shiro-chan's mother, you know.

I knew Rita would say that.

So.

Okay. Come and play. Come on, saint.

Really?

He looked so happy.

I don't feel any hostility.

On the contrary, I get the feeling that they are trying to scare us.

Recipient: Iris.

Body: We found what looks like the remains of Saint Delilira. I'm in it now. Please check the reception to see if the communication is working.

”Sent by Iris.

Recipient: Onii-chan.

Text: We have received your message. We have a message for you as well. Please let us know when you get settled.

I sent a message to Iris and she immediately replied.

She's on board. If anything goes wrong, we can call in help.

We've got Cecil. Rita's here. Reggie is there for me. And the Tenryu no Eggs are sucking in magic little by little.

I think we can handle this one.

''It's good. The legendary saint.

I said, changing my tone.

'The labyrinth you created to fulfill your lifetime wish. We will conquer it.

'Oh. Snap, snap, snap, snap.

There was an appropriate applause.

'Good. This is the first time I've noticed this place and the first time I've seen people having so much fun and adventure. It's very promising as a playmate for Delilah.

I'm just a novice adventurer.

”I don't care, hon.

Just from the voice alone, I could sense the hint of a saintly woman pestering me.

I can't see her as usual, but she's probably at the bottom of the labyrinth.

''It's the Yuukanaru thing. If you want the hijinks of the saints, aim for the end of the world!

It was a stick issue.

Then we heard the sound of a bell and the game started.

We were to capture the labyrinth of ”Saint Delilah”.

Delilirah-san, you set up a high level of difficulty from the start!　'Oh, no!'

In front of us was a tall iron door.

There was a magic circle painted on the surface.

Is it original to the saintly lady or is Cecil unable to read the meaning of it.

''This is the Door of Trust. It cannot be opened by one person alone. This is a door that can only be opened by multiple people working together as one. Hey, hey?　It's kind of saintly, isn't it?　What do you think?　'Great?'

Great, great.

''Hmph. It's only now that I can afford it. Delilira-san has seen parties fight in front of doors like this, and trust breaks down, many times.''

I heard the sigh of the saint.

”You can't know people's hearts,” she said. If you don't want to know each other's true intentions, you have to turn back...

Okay, Cecil, Rita. Let's merge in here.

'Oh ...... e ...... is, yes. Nagi-sama .......” ”Whew!

Cecil turned bright red, Rita's beast ears twitched and she slumped back...

Still, they honestly leaned in close to me, so I put my hands on their chests.

Then I activated 'Ability Rebuild Lv 4'. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. You're not a fan of .......

”............ Huh?　Alone?　Where did the other two go?

With ”Ability Rebuild Lv 4,” I connect the two of you with a magical thread. The magical power slowly mixes both of us.

”Huh?　One?　No, two?　Three?　How many of you are there?　Hey!''

””Well?”

C'mon.

We pushed the door open with our magic and our breath as one.

The pseudo-geek

It opened.

'What?　Huh?　Ehhh?''

The voice of a saint echoes in the cave.

It's like they're using magic to identify us.

''That's not right!　How did you clear it up so easily!　Even the saintly party couldn't complete these events!''

It's love.” ”U...... yeah. That's what it is.

”It's ............. That's not fair!

Hearing a disgruntled voice, we walked through the doorway.

'Next, the maze. Delilira-san worked hard on this one!　Let's see how long it takes to get through!''

When I walked through the door, I found myself in a dungeon-like place.

It's ...... a strange place.

Cecil is right.

The ground is smooth stone. The walls are made of stone, brick and wood, creating an intricate maze.

The walls are attached to the ceiling, so there's no way to get over them. It's similar to the giant maze in the original world, but this one seems to be on a much higher level.

'Delilira-san is very proud of her work. Can you find your way out of here before the food runs out?

The saint with only a voice is breathing heavily, huffing and puffing.

Now, adventurer, let's use your skills and wisdom to conquer this maze. Use all of your skills and wisdom to conquer this maze.

”With all your ability and wisdom, you can go to ......

I don't hate dungeon conquests, and I like mapping, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on it.

'Nagi, there's a hint of a demon in here,'

It's going to take a long time to get a proper handle on it.

If the goal is the 'magic point', then you can head towards the one with more magic power.

Cecil can tell you the general direction, and the Bracelet of the Heavenly Dragon (White) is responding to you.

The problem is how to get there.

The problem is how to get there, but since the saint said to use all of our skills and wisdom, I'll follow her wishes.

Activate. ”Activate: 'Building damage level 1'.

bang

There's a hole in the brick wall.

”──── hey!”?

The saint's scream cracked.

Beyond the hole, a large lizard that had taken a direct hit from a brick was down.

'Cave Lizard.

The great lizard lives in a cave.

They have special organs that allow them to see even in the dark and attack animals and humans who wander in.

The meat is tucked away and delicious when grilled with sauce.

”Ei.

I wielded the Demon Sword Leggy.

I swung it.

He knocked out the Cave Lizard.

Beyond the wall is a straight path. It's straight ahead, in the direction of the (tentative) goal.

...... That's quite a shortcut.

It's in the house!　I made it to take at least a dozen hours!　You need to work harder than that!'
