Translator’s Corner: Hey everyone, there’s an announcees that you can readEnjoy~
Editor’s Corner: I will be leaving next week for a ca friday Mid-Late in the day I will get the chapters I miss fixed when I return
Sabido’s figure appears from behind the throne with his distorted six eyed face His black mantle bordered in purple is draped over his purple carapace armor
The ly as he walks
“Was it you who killed Kuna?”
“…Aah”
Six eyes flow over Henkai, Rollo, and me
The shape of his eye sockets is complicated and I cannot read his expression
Henkai stares at the de, Sabido
Rollo’s hackles rise and she raises her bone swords in the air in precaution
“Hou, I was suspicious when Kuna’s thought waves were interrupted but it seems she really did die You who defeated the Kushanan race, known for being very cunning even a, are you really human?”
“I wonder?”
Then, I turn the black spear point to Sabido
“Fuht me?”
His six eyes twitch
“I don’t have to fight?”
“Fuu, you said soood either way”
Then, I guess I will give up on fighting him Henkai does too
Thus, I loosen my posture with the black spear
“Well then, I’ll stop I only cas”
“Oh? Fu, fuhahaha, you didn't co After all, you aren’t normal I like you Would you tell me your name?”
“Shuya Kagari”
“Shuya… Shuya I am called “Sabido of the Purple Darkness” one of the seven demon commanders of the dark God Would you make a contract with me?”
Seven Demon Commanders of the Dark God?
Is it like the Four Heavenly Kings? (TL: Wikipedia)
I don’t tsukkomi
“Contract?”
“That’s right I have contracted with huicians in the old days”
“N~, I’m not interested”
“You decided fast Would you like a ic tool?”
A …
It would be bad if I got cursed so I will decline
This ring is enough
“I already have ‘this” so I don’t have a particular need of one”
Sabido’s six eyes notice the ring on my hand
“Hou, that reed…it looks like you ed to master it…”
“However, are you theyou?”
In response to my question Sabido opens his mouth
“-I surely aer’ here I have certainly slaughtered people before, it ‘won’t beco Yet, that is the official stance You, I understand that Shuya in particular is not noruarantees to my safety either I don’t want to waste my life? Besides…the purpose of the labyrinth has already been achieved enough There’s no need to overdo it”
Purpose?
“What purpose?”
“…Offerings to Rivguraf, the God of darkness To nourish the labyrinth, not only that dwarf there, but other hureatly”
Rivguraf, God of Darkness
One of the Gods living in hell
At any rate, this guy is different than how he looks, he is wary and prudent…
“…This is surprising I thought I would be attacked with no discussion”
“Hah, if it was other des, it would be like that Still, there are other reasons Do you have a stone ball of return? Because that is here”
It is natural, since Kuna sold them
“This stone ball?”
“Fumu With that you can return instantly”
“I’ll do that Well then, I guess if I return now that I’ve retrieved my favorite black tanza spear Let’s return, Henkai Take a stone”
“Understood I’ll take it-“
Henkai disappears the rasps a stone
Quickly, I as well
“I’ll be going-“
While Sabido’s voice sound I grasp the stone
The moment I store mana in the stone-the sense of air in my ears
I return to the labyrinth entrance suddenly
It seeht outside
Henkai is looking around the area restlessly
I a into the labyrinth
“It seems you’ve returned”
“Aah, I’ from earlier surprised me”
“Well, it wasBut, as boss like character, his actions were understanding…”
Henkai’s temple twitches
“Huh? Boss Character? Maa, there are various kinds of dehly deceived…that de is scrap”
Henkai talks a little about the des
“Seems like it What will you do fro to 【Hector】”
When I casually mention to name of the city, Henkai eyebrows scrunch up and he makes a confused face
“Huh? 【Hector】? That battle ground…it became a town?”
“Aah, wait a s have changed to save the explanation”
Saying so, I take a map out from behind and show him
“I understand…the big river is Hay in south Maheiraphy doesn’t seeed much However, that battlefield is now a fort city… the cities to the north and south both have different names than the oru】 or 【Langur Kingdo from the past seems to have fallen to ruin…but, the blasted elves seem to have fallen equally too The Elven 【Great Eone too I remember the 【Tower City Senaapua】 and the 【Labyrinth City Pernette】, Elven territory exists here Is there a country? After all, the Elves are divided inside…”
According the Henkai’s explanation, the country in the mountains and rivers is in ruins Such a word floats by
Was Henkai trapped for hundreds of years?
He seeht the Elves in the past, but if he saw the present condition of Elves and Dwarves he would be shocked…
There is a Dwarf Eround So…
Should I say like it is no big deal?
Ma, even if I, an ordinary human says that, he may not be able to believe it
However…I ive him a hint
“There is a ruround…”
“…Hou I will remember that”
Ah, did you already know about it?
I will try asking
“Henkai, bringing it up now ht be in bad taste, but have you heard of ‘Genju’s Sake Ball of Light’ or the ‘Wisdom Tree?'”
“N? I don’t know about the ‘Wisdoht” Isn’t it the Sake of Life? I’d like soinally a ‘fruit of sake’ that grows froe tree? If you eat it you’ll receive power, and any wound will be healed, aoes that it was created by the Gods ‘Arotoshu, God of life,’ ‘Gaia, God of earth,’ and ‘Sateyura, God of plants?'”
Hooo This onion oyaji is excellent
Clue Get!
“Ooh, you know about it? I’ for it, do you knohere it is?”
Rollo see her small body towards Henkai while she sits on my shoulder
“You want to know? Ahaha, searching for it? It’s doubtful whether or not such a thing exists It’s a legend, a fairy tale As for where it is, I don’t know To start with, it’s so”
Gaku…
“Is that so?”
“Nya”
Rollo raises a s disappointed
“crap You see…”
“No, it was difficult to even hear about this story Well then, I’ll return to 【Hector】”
“Is that so? I’ll return this map It’s bad, but… will you take ood care of me”
“Aah, it’s fine It’s right here…come on”
“Right here?”
I say so to a confused looking Henkai while co down the stairs
“Into the labyrinth?”
“Yup Don’t be surprised There are a lot of adventurers”
“Understood”
When we come down the stairs the crowd is the same as before
Henkai looks surprised but says nothing and follows
When I appear in front of the uild, the adventurers are juether
“When you walk into the ic foruild”
“Ooh, it’s surprising a ?”
“Aah, it seeic for”
“I see There huether with Elf shi+ts, is it because they can enter the labyrinth?”
“Kuna was an adventurer too -Ah, how do I explain to the guild that I killed her…”
“You should say she was a Kushanan de”
Henkai talks while he crosses his ar expression
“No, that Kuna woman was a B ranked adventurer? Like that, I teaic foruild and explain that the hu? My words are only that of a mere adventurer, will they really believe me?”
“N~, it’s impossible”
He agreed quickly
After all, this is how it is
“…Right? Ma, I’llafter being surrounded by a horde of hoguts in the labyrinth Henkai,suitable if you’re asked about our relationshi+p at this guild”
“I got it If the adventurer’s guild becomes troublesome, Shuya will be silent Also Because I was held captive for so long, serving as rehabilitation, if I enter the city… What happens to shi+t Elves, besides, I’d also like to see the outside world So, I intend to disappear in the town immediately”
Henkai’s eyes look dark for a moment
Is he going to be okay? Ma, I am not worried…
“…Sorry Thank you”
“Fuhaha, isn’t it you who helped me? This doesn’t matter”
“I guess so”
“Well then, I’ll go first I won’t forget your kindness Shall ain? See ya”
“Ou”
Henkai disappears in the
Henkai
He had a strange onion head, but he was a bold man
Well, I already came up with a proper reason…
I will explain to the guild, but what if I aht?
Will I be released if that happens?
Will the guild ation?…
No way, if it comes out that I killed her, the criuild card in real time-
Ma, this is this, and that is that As expected, things happen rapidly
I can expect that won’t be on my adventurer’s card
If so to happen without when I registered
Blood and Mana
It is related to Orimiru, the God of Order, perhaps, whether it happens…
Ma, worrying about it more will not help
As I though before, should I say she died?
After collecting such a though, I set foot in the ic formation
When I uild I cannot find Henkai
He seems to have disappeared into the city like he said
Being a little nervous, I start looking at the state of affairs around me
The guild is more crowded than usual…or should I say, it seeuild staff is working
And, adventurers carrying injured are appearing one after another from the metastasis formations
While wondering, I got to a receptionist
“I’m mad- Shark, Kiki!”
I hear a high pitched fenore it from now
There is no available receptionist
So on
The inside of the guild has been noisy since a while ago but there is no helping it so I line up
I a the spear on shoulder because there are so many people in the line
While I a, I produce the request items from the item box
At this point I attract the attention of all the adventurers in the line, so I try to sloss over it-
“Nii-chan, is that an ‘iteet it in Pernette?”
An adventurer lined up behind me talks
I should make up a proper story
“No, but it’s so like that”
“I see There are other labyrinth cities in Radford Empire, Hesfurato Holy Country…”
With such a feeling, the conversation continues safely with slight smiles
After some minutes have passed, it becomes my turn
The receptionist is not thethe labyrinth Instead it is a pretty Nekomimi that attracts attention
“Here are the request items and card”
“Yes I’ll take them”
Receptionist-san receives the request ite back
