Volume 3 Chapter 1 (1/2)

Junpei was standing there with a blank expression

That place, is a space that was filled hite

「A-re……? This is……? Why……am I……here?」

It hite wherever her looked, and he couldn’t figure out where was the floor and where were the walls

Only the ground infinitely continues; there ht be a wall that is very near; it ht unexpectedly be a very narrow space

Or it ht be that he is on top of a sphere just like the Earth, and Junpei was standing on top of that

It was a weird space where the sense of distance is vague, but for Junpei, it was a faht not be that much, but it is a space that can be said had an impression from him

After all, that is the place where his classmate Kido Shouta’s head burst out, and the place where he was told about the great sage that lurks in the deepest floors

PachiPachiPachi, dry claps echoes through the white space

When Junpei turned towards there, there was the appearance of a beautiful androgynous boy

In other wordsーーour insane God

Carefree just like a sunfloith that infinitely innocent s

「Congratulations As I promised before, you have cleared the five floors froo out」

「……ahh, co that……huh」

Junpei answered like that, with a blank, lifeless expression

「Oya, oya? What happened? It is your chance to go out, but……did you catch a cold or so? You seem unwell?」

「……uhh……how can I say this……a very strong discomfort……no, in the first place……I……after that torture u!……」

Junpei crouches there, and held his temples

「What happened? Ne〜?」

Not answering to the God’s words, Junpei only endured the fierce pain that attacks hi

「……gu……u……u……」

While grinning, the God observed Junpei’s agonizing appearance very curiously

ーーGuwan, Guwan, his head shook His vision turns around

As if he had a terriblesour comes up from his stomach

「……gu……ge……ge……geeeeーーーー」

Within the pure white space, a yellowish gel-like thing was scattered

Junpei breathed with his shoulders He finally cal

At the saradually disappeared

「Are you alright?」

Making a full ser

And then, the God was already holding a glass cup in his left hand

「Now, drink it」

Junpei thought for a while with a blank expression, and finally took the cup

「……thanks」

He drank it all at once, and let out a deep sigh

「What happened really? You see Also, somehow……you seem like you’re absent-minded, it feels like your spirit isn’t there」

「……」

In Junpei’s vision, a noise ran

A static white noise just like in old television dos, and on top of that, Picon, an electronic sound effect echoes in his head

ーーError Error Memories are chaーーtoーーthe owner’s &e4pesakiーーvalidーーated The thesaurus points are decreased by 5, anized

And then, the pain in his head disappeared as if it was an illusion, and his thoughts became clear

Junpei who regained life in his eyes, ilared at the God

「……really Since I met you, a Medusa, a Satori, an insane bastard……and on top of that, a torture man This labyrinth is really rottenly crazy」

「Come to think of it, earlier, didn’t you mention the torture man? Like, how you were able to reach this place after that or so」

To the God who asked with sparkling eyes, Junpei anshile shrugging his shoulders

「Hoas I able to reach this place? What are you talking about? I defeated the torture man with that absurd ability After that, I opened the door towards the next floor After that, I arrived here Isn’t that all」

「Kuhaha!……Kuha!………Kuhahahah!!!!」

The God crouched in his place, and started laughing while hugging his stomach

「Ihi!……Ahyu……my stomach……my stomach……it hurts……」

And laughing just like that, tens of seconds

In the end, it started to tre

「Hi!……hi!……fuu〜, hi!……hi!……fuu〜」

It is unknown and doubtful if there was a et cal Lamaze Method

Finally regaining hi his tears with his little finger

「Uhh, you’re really interesting you know?」

「……from my perspective, you’re the one who’s pretty h?」 (TL: crazy? insane?)

Receiving those words, the God alht twice, and patted both of Junpei’s shoulders

「Well, being like ‘that’ is for the both of us……I guess」

And there, once again, Pachin, the God snapped his fingers, and nodded exaggeratedly

「Well, it h the torture o out to the outside world」

Within his consciousness that was so histo do with him

「……to the outside world, are you really letting o out?」

「I pro that your status are too distorted」

「Ahh, well, that’s, that’s right though」

「For exama pool in the floors ahead Even how fast you are, you can’t dodge the heated air that fills the whole floor And with your status, you wouldn’t be able to endure the heat Meaning, it’s impossible for you to clear it」

“And”, the God continued

「In the first place, in your case, even beforethat your status is too distorted, since your job is in the lowest, the level up bonus itself is too small Even if you place the bonus stats from now on, you can’t reach the least needed aainst the rule of『From the time that you have entered the labyrinth’s first floor, it should be possible for anyone to clear it』 I ainst it you know」

「I also thought about before, but, why is it bad if it was impossible to clear?」

“Fufun”, the God distorts his lips, points down once, and tilted his head towards Junpei

「Hey, you? After breaking through the last floor, what do you think is there? Just likewould be equivalent to pain, and only able to ask for deathーーthe Great Sage that I talked about before, why do you think he is ai for that?」

「The Great Sage……unlike you, he had escaped the unliht?」

「Yeah But, right now, as the group leader of the ones aih the labyrinth, he had even extended his life……and was desperate to gain that ‘thing’ that is at the end of the labyrinth」
