(109) Miri’s Adventure 2

Translator: Tseirp

Even though she visited so late at night, Margaret purposely prepared dinner for her and after she received what she considered as passable hospitality from somebody like Margaret, Miri woke up in her room.

In a room that her brother once stayed in.

Of course, there were no traces of her brother having stayed there left.

“Good morning, Miri-chan.”

Margaret greeted Miri.

Taking the future into consideration, Miri decided to go with the name Miryuu in her status column.

It just a coincidence that it would be shortened to Miri. The man called Margaret seemed to give people nicknames by taking two characters from their names.

Incidentally, yesterday, when she introduced herself similarly to Norn after she came back from work after dinner, she addressed Miri as Miryuu-chan.

“Good morning Margaret-san. Where’s Norn-san?”

“Run-chan should be practicing with her spear at the backyard. Since she’s off-duty today.”

Miri thought that it was convenient.

She must take action together with the girl who her brother helped. That was one of the duty she had imposed on herself.

When she went to the backyard, Norn had just ended training and was wiping off her sweat with a towel.

“Norn, morning.”

“Morning Miryuu-chan.”

“Erm, I have a request for Norn.”

“What is it? You can ask anything.”

Norn smiled as she said.

One hour later. In other words, after breakfast, Norn was regretting her thoughtless remark.

Why did it turn out this way, she asked herself as she stood in front of the statue of a Goddess clad in bikini armour ― Setolance, in front of a labyrinth.

“Well then, let’s go, to the labyrinth advanced users go to!”

“Wait a minute! It’s dangerous! Seriously stop!”

“Don’t worry. If Norn isn’t coming, I’ll go myself, is that alright with you? Letting the younger sister of your benefactor go alone?”

“Ne, ne, let’s start from the intermediate labyrinth.”

“There’s no time. I’m going.”

The Advanced Labyrinth she was heading for was surrounded by a solid wall to prevent the off-chance that monsters overflow out of it.

Initially, Norn brought her over because Miri said she wanted to see the inside of the wall.

Goddess Setolance’s statue was inside the wall so she thought that she was an ardent devotee who wanted to pray to that Goddess statue so she willingly accepted it but upon passing the walls, Miri did not look at the Goddess statue at all as she walked towards the transfer circle at the labyrinth entrance.

Moreover, that was the most dangerous transfer circle that sends people to the location right before the lowermost floor.

But that instead caused Norn to be negligent.

Since transfer circles can only transfer a person to the floors they have been to before, Miri won’t be transfered.

That’s what she thought.

That’s why she inadvertently, too carelessly, entered the transfer circle to grab Miri’s hand.

The next instant, the two of them appeared right before the lowest floor in the Advanced Labyrinth and a huge dragon with purple scales was waiting for them right in front of their eyes.

Norn almost felt her consciousness fade away for an instant when the huge dragon roared.

But even so, the one thing that made her hold onto her consciousness was the earnest desire that she must save the younger sister of her benefactor.

” … Miryuu-chan … run.”

Norn’s words that didn’t sound like words was erased by none other than the voice of Miri who she wanted to save.

“「Dark Thousand Sword」”

Countless black swords appeared around the dragon as Norn heard the name of a magic she never heard before.

It’s no wonder that Norn does not know about that magic.

It’s a sure-fire lethal magic spell that can only be acquired by Lv80 Dark Magicians and just finding a person with Dark or Light magic is already difficult.

It is a phantom spell that none among Hume has acquired it yet.

At most, only the man who is the chieftain of the Dark Elves who had fallen to darkness can use it to a serviceable degree.
