Volume 3 Chapter 1 (2/2)
Thinking for a while, Junpei shook his head sidewards
「……I don’t know No, in the first place……that doesn’t matter」
「Oya, oya, you’re already a participant of the ‘festival’ you know? On top of that, with that special cheat skill, you’re co with as a seeded one you know?」
「……festival?」
「Kodoku(蠱毒), or ood……this is so you can be proud of you know」
Junpei uous eyes towards the God, and whispered as if to give up
「As usual, you’re not planning on answering ht?」
“Un”, he nodded, and the God laughed
「That’s right」
「You……shouldn’t you die at least once?」
Waving his hands, the God s as if he didn’t care
「And, with that, you’re going to the outside world starting now……un, there’s already no time left」
While looking down at the wristwatch that shouldn’t have existed a ly whispered
「……time? You who is not even allowed to die within the flow of unlied……you who are a super-class free timer……worries about time?」
“Ahh”, the God nodded and said
「It’s true, that I have a lot of free time So much that, really, I couldn’t handle it So much that I would play around the fate of you humans, and create a show for just myself……it’s true that I have a lot of free time However? Within this labyrinth, even I……no, it is because it is I, towards you who are participating in the festival, I am not able to intervene excessively」
「It is because it’s you……that you can’t intervene?」
And there, Pishari, the God clapped his hands, and started to talk very quickly
「I’ll oal for the ister on the Adventurer’s Guild, and beco that, you will be able to have an advanced job Meaning, your level-up bonus is not 5 like up until now, but becomes 15 The level up that you have up until now is also recalculated, and you will gain strength that cannot be coht noever, the limit is half of a yearーーif that passes, in whatever situation you are in, you will be returned to the labyrinth」
「And……the other goal is?」
The God hed, and licked his lips
「The ones who had teleported with you froht?」
「That is, well……they probably are」
The God nodded in satisfaction with Junpei’s words
「You want to……get revenge right?」
The instant the God asked that, on the back of Junpei’s s that happened in the labyrinth flows like a kaleidoscope
ーーCerberus, cannibals, hooods
And so, Junpei nodded strongly, and answered the God’s question
「Of course To do that, I spat out blood, slurped , and was able to live up until now」
The God approached Junpei without noticing, placed a hand on Junpei’s shoulders, and nodded a lot of times as if he was happy from the bottom of his heart
「Un, un, that’s right Well, whoever it is……if they were forced down just like that, they would want revenge right? AndーーI want to see that Also, it’s not only the thing that I want to see, but it would also connect to your strengthening」
「……?」
「Thesaurus points………there would be huge effects on the hidden para would happen you know?」
「Interesting thing……?」
「Because of finishi+ng your revenge, there would be a change within your mind; the seal of the thesaurus points would be broken」
「……se……al……?」
With a wink, the God sly
「That’s right The seal ‘she’ put onto you」
At the same time he said that, the God held both of Junpei’s cheeks, and opened his mouthーーhe licked the tip of Junpei’s nose
The feeling of a wet tongue And with that rance were mixed
To the too sudden happening, Junpei was petrified for an instant
ーーif I’ht……is this shota God really a boy……or is ‘he’ a girl
And, thinking up to that, Junpei’s body finally reacted
「Hey, you……!!」
He pushes out his hands, and removes the God off of him
The God also, he took a backstep himself and took distance from Junpei
And, with a grinning expression, he observed Junpei from top to bottom as if to play with him
「Really, you’re very cute」
“And, with that……”, the God continued
「Take care!」
ーーwhen he noticed it, the white space changed into a cave’s rock wall
It’s a space that was about three ht in front of him
Light moss that faintly shi+nes Inside the dier the appearance of the God
Gokuri, Junpei sed his breath
As he could guess from what they talked about earlier, the outside world that he had yearned for should have spread across this door
“But……”, Junpei thought
Just a while ago, he received the betrayal of his childhood friend Noriko, and was forced down to this cave
And, the personality of that insane God……across this door, is not the outside world, but a labyrinth that is far ht be literally connected to hell; he couldn’t leave out that possibility
His true goal from the continuous act Himself as filled with hope, thrown into the bottoht be the true aim of the shota God
「Well, either way……I’d never knohat ht happen……」
Junpei placed his hand on the doorknob, held it, turned, and pushed open
The first thing he felt, was cold air
He iured out that that fresh air
It is very different, fronate
Junpei took a deep breath
The sreens The scene that spread before hi lit by the moon
Forest that spread around, and a lake
Whilea dumbfounded, absent-minded expression, Junpei spoke to himself
「Oi……it is really……」
One step, he stepped on the ground that was covered by grass
「……it is really damn outside」
