V1C26 (2/2)

However, bloomers that can be seen when the skirt is raised, it somehow gives one an adventurous spirit. Similar to the feeling of an upskort in tennis.

” … Thank you for the meal.”

” … Thank you.”

Both Haru and I said words of thanks. It made me think that we truly are a good combi.

Then, we headed for the Intermediate Labyrinth in Florence.

“It’s surprisingly crowded huh.”

There was a queue like to an attraction in an amusement park. The difference with an amusement park was that unlike queues made up entirely of kids, there were many rugged men there.

While thinking that it would be a hassle to line up there,

“That’s right. Adventurers with more than 3 years of experience can enter the Intermediate Labyrinth. Well, the adventurers who can reach the boss room doesn’t even reach 10% anyway. The labyrinth is deep but there are transfer circles so as long as you are not targeted, you would not be troubled by the monsters. I have been to the Intermediate Labyrinth’s 22nd floor so I can use the transfer circles to the 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th floors.”

“There are transfer circles huh.”

They’re most likely something like warp gates that can transfer you instantaneously to another location.

As expected of another world.

If that’s the case then the people in this line was waiting for their turn to use the transfer circle.

Seems like it would take about 1 hour to even enter the labyrinth.

Just as I had that thought,

“Heeey, rookie! Here! Here!”

“Let’s go together!”

There was a voice coming from ahead.

… Jofre and Elise. Those 2 have already been released huh.

“Shall we take them up on their offer?”

Apparently it was common for someone in the party to line up for the labyrinth.

Moreover, the transfer circle can transfer 6 people to the same location together.

“That is certainly better than lining up here.”

I went toward the 2 of them.

“Then, we’ll be in your care.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s said that we should help each other out when there’s trouble and to retaliate with a blow to the left cheek if your left cheek is hit.”

Jofre said while smiling.

” … No, I haven’t heard of that … Is there such a phrase?”

“I’ve also not heard of it before.”

Yup, as expected. The front and back of the sentence had totally different meanings.

“Good company on the road is the shortest cut to hell, right Jofre?”

No way, I don’t want such a journey.

Why is dying the premise of the journey? If there’s going to be death then the 2 of you should die.

“Or rather, don’t you 2 hate me for what I did? I did defeat your boss after all.”

“Hmm? Oh, don’t mind! We’re friends! Moreover, you’re strong.”

“That’s right, we’ll lose out if we’re concerned about such a thing! It’s a given to side with the strong!”

… These 2, even though they are idiots, they are the type that would coil around the strong.

Well, they’re the type that would definitely not lie anyway and it’s a pain to line up so we’ll proceed as 4.

“Then, where shall we move to? I’ll put it out there that I must return by afternoon.”

“Ah, we have plenty of leeway if that’s the case. Since we’re only transferring to the 95th floor and proceeding to the 100th-floor boss room.”

…… Huh?

Author’s Note:

Job

Villager, it’s strange to call them villagers when they live in towns so,

Villager is changed to Commoner.

It can also be tsukkomied that Commoner is not a job but an identification but it can be used as foreshadowing so please pardon me.
