Over The Infinite

Episode 4: Unretreating

-1 -

They're starting an attack on the 100th layer of the infinite corridor.

I don't have any further information. Originally, information from the seventy-first level onwards has only been revealed to clans that have reached the same depth, so only the information that the offensive has been launched is flying. Good handling in news and magazines, but no great deal of information in any media. A channel must be treated like a channel that passes through and broadcasts in an animation. The comments made by the interested parties are also only appropriate and only decently answered by Mr Laurent and Mr Glenn or so. This is the usual thing.

That was right after I returned to the labyrinth city. It's been about half a month since then, but there are no further reports. I guess the lack of progress means that the offense has not progressed. According to the first report, it was preceded by < Arc Saber >. The news broke out that the advance party was devastated, and the impression that it was something with a high difficulty of 100 layers penetrated deeply. Subsequently, < Arc Sabre > 's main unit, < Meteor Knights >, also launched an offensive to follow, but the situation still doesn't seem to be fragrant.

Speculation flies on bulletin boards, and even those who are not adventurers rumor in the city. All they said was that the attack difficulty of the 100th level of the infinite corridor was very similar to that of the 75th level where the Meteor Knights had once hit. It's only a prediction, but I guess it's making it quite difficult.... I agree.

The hierarchy of the 100th floor of the infinite corridor is a single separation. There's no way Dammus makes it easy to go beyond such a layer. That can no longer be said to be a certainty. That guy is mean, and I wonder if he's got some pretty nasty content.

Nevertheless, it's only been half a month since the offensive began. It was not uncommon for the Meteor Knights to attack two layers in a month to regain momentum these days, but basically the speed of attack in the infinite corridor is about every month. That's what I thought, not in a rush phase.

"Hey."

"... Hi"

Until Mr. Laurent, who was clearly disgusted, showed up before me.

Either that or it looks like it happened, but it looks like I have some business to run. Maybe he remembered an errand when he looked at me.

I look tired, but I'm not in a state where my beard is still stretched or my clothes are worn out. Or is this guy full of beautiful men wondering if he will grow a mustache? The difference is the haunted aura. It wasn't as refreshing as it used to be when I met him, but it seemed somewhere... yes, it feels close to the lizard old man.... In an instant, the Infinite Corridor 100 layer was found to be the cause.

"... are you okay?

"Ha, I guess I get it.... you know what I mean."

This voice is even exhausted. But for some reason, I don't feel sad. Such an atmosphere, like standing alone with spiritual strength in a critical state... yes, this resembles the figure of a warrior pushed to extremes. I think I'm going to fall. It's not weird if you're already down if you think about the limits of the flesh. But he's like an adventurer who swore he'd never give up. I guess the slight graffiti that appears on the bottom of tired eyes doesn't make you feel sad. That's where I'm ready to stand trying to cross the dead line. That resembled the figure of those who continued to fight beyond their limits in previous death fights. I also thought I must have this vibe wrapped up in extreme conditions from others.

So maybe you don't have to worry. This man is someone who knows frustration. He's the one who recovered from it.... It's what Mr. Glenn calls' real '. I don't know what a difficult trial it is, but it won't get over it. I don't know why you showed up before me, but you shouldn't need anyone's help. If you were to help, you would deserve to be a member of the same Knights Meteor, not me.

... No, it's not. This man is a clan master. You can't make weak noises even if you can help the clan members and support them. I have to be mean.

I don't know what it is, but this guy's in my custody. I don't know how it affected you, but I guess that also has the power of that gift. I'm sure that's what he meant when he showed up like this before me.

"... if you want to talk, I'll listen. I have some business to attend to, but do you want to go to dinner after that?

As a matter of fact, today is the day when Mr. Berserker finally comes to the Cranhouse. Exactly postpone this and Mr. Berserker will storm out. The pandas are currently on surveillance to prevent Yuki from escaping. Yuki has also written a script since yesterday about just how she noticed it. It is a one-way cement script that does not read with the opponent.... so not right after this.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather savotage and go out to dinner with Mr. Laurent, but I can't say no unless I have more reason than to be present once. I don't think you'll forgive me for dinner.

"I'm sorry. Sounds like I got you worried...... but you do. Yeah, I think maybe he wanted to talk to you."

He doesn't really know what he wanted to do himself. I do.

"Well, even on oak noodles..."

"I say no to that"

It is a categorical rejection. I don't know. But in him, that experience seems to be close to trauma. They didn't develop habituality like that drug addiction. The black hole of oak noodles that was brilliant at the center. MINAGI just wants to ask once what impression he has in him.

"Even so, the stores I know are only Class B, so whether Laurent is satisfied or not..."

"Then you are, do you even drink? You can drink, can't you?

"You can drink what you can, but alcohol is tough when it's a store"

Unlike pornography, alcohol does not inhibit recognition. I don't think they'd arrest me enough to be coached for drinking in the city, but they wouldn't let me order in a tavern, and they wouldn't even sell me in a liquor store. If you tell Mr. Sword Blade, he'll offer you about a booze place, but that guy's a whirlpool guy, too. You should stop.

"We... shall we make it a bar? I've got some pretty good drinks."

"... ho"

Speaking of which, I've never taken a trip to the Clan House of the Meteor Knights. I'm just curious, including the bar itself. I know I'm building a car racetrack... what is it? The bar would have been in the < Arc Sabre > clanhouse, but the impression is different. Somehow, I have a bad impression as a human being. It is primarily the image of Mr. Asha.

"Shall I take someone else?

"No, I don't speak to the clan members either. I'm not worried, but I feel like drinking as much as I want. You don't look like that to much of a clan member, either. You know that, too, right?

"Right."

I'm trying to be a clanmaster, too. I don't want to show my clan members what they don't look like. I don't know how that feels, but I don't.

There will be people who rely on you and don't want to show you where you are weak or in patterns when you know it all. I guess that's why this guy came to me, too.

"Well, you don't mind if I bring someone over. I'd like you to stop being an Arc Sabre or an Archet associate or an Alliance employee."

I understand Mr. Asha's associates... but why the guild staff? There's only about Kukuru who invites him, but he doesn't seem to have any contact with Mr. Laurent. Do you think I'm close to Werner or Terawaros?

"But no matter how drunk I am, I'm a nonsense."

"No, it's written on the bulletin board, but why does it have the image of a man? It's as normal as you think."

Well, I guess it's because there won't be a woman's shadow forever. You don't seem to get your hands on Mr. Asha either, and it sounds like you've been thinking about Mr. Bennett's sister for a long time before you came to this city.

"For once, I thought I'd put up a line of prevention."

"I wonder if that rumor is responsible for not being very hot... it's the year I need to even think about getting married"

Is that it? Is this person a super dull protagonist?

-2 -

And rendezvous with Lene, who was meeting us as we were. Return to the clan house. I have told no one to use it because it is in the living room to use it this time, but Mikael, who bought me a waiter and left in the kitchen, was preparing coffee. It has recently been positioned.

"Why are there monsters? I saw it on the 10th floor of the infinite corridor."

"That's a panda, not a monster"

Sure, it's not weird to mistake me for a monster because my boss is also a panda on top of coming out on the 10th floor, but those guys are animals. Some guys walk and talk, but it's a clean category of pandas. I don't really understand why pandas are doing adventurers and becoming clans, either. My head aches when I think about it, so I gave up thinking.

"It's you, Mikael. Yeah, look. He's your senior adventurer. Good at grinding coffee"

"Bear."

"Oh, really..."

If you were Alexander, you could explain it, but unfortunately it's only called a 'bear' because it's a michael. A good gesture of willingness, but it would be hard to pass on to the first person to see it. A vain, acrobatic manifestation of intent is worth a look.

"Well, have a seat. Yuki is coming now."

"Ha..."

I haven't been able to swallow things into a sudden panda, Lene, but I sit back on the couch in the living room in a big way.

"Oh, yummy"

A sip of the coffee prepared by Mikael and Lene squeaks. For once, it's a secret product that Ladine asked me to serve for her hospitality. In fact, it is a delicacy that is hard to come by even in labyrinth cities. The price is out of Yuki's purse, so I would love to have it, but it's delicious. You have a glimpse of Ladine's detention.

"That's surprising. If you're not used to coffee, you have a crush. Didn't you just come to the labyrinth city?

"The title is the Baron family, but I have the position of treasurer of the royal palace and focal point of the labyrinth city, so I had a preference for this hand at home. My brothers didn't seem used to it."

Does the contact point mean that you are in a position to obtain items from the Labyrinth City? That, what do you care about this kid's house is amazing? You're not on the level that a labyrinth city focal point is delicious this time of year.

"So at the dawn of the marriage, it seemed like he was going to make Yukito-sama's home his trading representative with the Labyrinth City. Originally, there seemed to be a small deal without our handover."

"No, like he said he was selling potions or something"

"I don't know if it was transported directly from this city, but I don't think it's for sale to the old lady."

Oh, well. Anything is too conspicuous. Yuki wasn't that familiar with the inside information either.... but his home is awesome too. It's not a level that you can read the current situation. That would make you a big merchant. I guess both this kid's home and Yuki's are pretty rich. He was naive at the tavern. He's not like me.

"Before Yukito's charm, it was trivial, but it should have been a good conversation in the sense of strengthening the connection between the houses."

He said Yuki had broken it.

"I'm not going to break it, and I'm sure Yukito has a reason to be smart and noble."

Oh, what are you talking about, this girl? Yuki, I came to this city to be a woman. I don't care how you ask, you're not smart or noble.

"Ahhh."

... In the meantime, I don't see any shards of wisdom in Yuki's appearance brought in like an alien caught pinched by two pandas. No way, it was just before and you were still trying to escape.

"Yu, Master Yukito?

"Hi, long time no see, Mr. Lehne"

"Hey, what's going on? 'They sent me a gaze, so I return the gaze,' I don't know. 'Because I don't know why this is happening. Lene decided it wasn't a touchy situation, or he kept going.

"Yes, I don't like it. I don't mind calling you Lene like I used to..."

"Oh, yeah?... Well, again... Lene, long time no see"

"It's been a while. Safe... more than anything."

Neither does Lene cry with emotion, which is pictorially dramatic but not a touching reunion. I'm rather out of line. Because Yuki at heart is being held by a panda.

Panda prompted me, Yuki sitting on the couch. Even as Yuki sat, the panda remained intact and sat down on the couch in the same way. Seated, try to pinch it with Lene. Two pandas, me and Yuki on this side, maybe Mikael, who's making extra coffee now, will sit in the empty seat. This is a very chaotic situation. There is no doubt that if anyone appeared on this occasion by mistake, they would be stunned.

…………

…………

…………

Even if Lene and Yuki sit across the street, there's nothing to talk about. I was caught and silenced, too. What should I do? Super creepy.

"Bear."

In the meantime, the presence of Mikael, who came with coffee, looked like a savior. All right, this is the right time. I'm leaving this place.

"Well, let's just leave it up to the two youngsters and let's go kickbase..."

"Ku, bear"

But my body doesn't move. There's not supposed to be anything, but my shoulders are holding me back... this is not Clear Hand!

Stupid. When did you activate it! Damn, Mikael says he's in tune because of it, but Yuki sends a silent 'don't run' gaze. I don't like it. Can you stay in a place like this with a hole in your stomach? I'll let you go back to your room!

When I was forced to force myself to escape the confinement of Clear Hand, there were more invisible hands. Damn, you're willing to ignore the MP residue but tie it up. At least if it's alcohol...... I've never wanted to get so drunk.

I don't have a choice. I don't want to stay in this air for long. You just need me to move on. If we even go ahead at first, we'll have a conversation.

"Uh, uh, what is it, Mr. Yuki, or, for now, tell us what you came to this city for and how you've been?"

"Hey, what's that tone... ok"

I'm confused, too.

Thus Yuki explained what had happened since his departure from the king's capital, even though he had become a part of it. It also includes details of the previous life, beyond the need to explain the purpose.

I also thought about deluding myself with lies, but I refused it as of yesterday because I really didn't feel it would work. The script that used Yuki's entire notebook turned into ash. During the explanation, Lene was silently listening to Yuki. I'm not particularly surprised or angry. It is creepy because it is so quiet.

"... that's why"

"I see... I mean, I want to go back to being a woman who was Yukito's gender in her previous life, and now I'm in the middle of it."

Even after all the explanations, Lene's reaction was calm. My hands are shaking faintly and the coffee cup I put down is rattling, but at least it doesn't look disturbed. Yukito-like disease, which we have seen so far, does not appear to have developed.

I'm not talking about being objective, looking for my runaway fiancée, and thinking I finally found him, I was stopping being a man. So it's not a straight story. If I were in that position, I wouldn't be able to accept it and I'd be flabbergasted. It's not strange that he got busted because he's a guy by the name of Berserker. If you think about it, you'll have an adult reaction to this extent. I can't even look like a lady if I just look here.

"So as you can see, it's a rare 20% Yuki."

"No, because that's a dumbass prank"

I'm sure it's easy to understand, but I'm not doing it at Yuki's will.

"So the... about your engagement to Lene..."

"I'm impressed!

Lene suddenly stood up and raised her voice. Yuki is confused. Then I'm confused, too.

Oh, what is it?

"What? Or, Sensitive?

"That's Yukito... Should I say 20% Yuki"

"Because I don't want 20%"

"I didn't know Yuki was thinking about me that much."

I don't know what you're talking about, this kid. I wonder if it's gone crazy.

"Oh, I didn't know it was all foreseeable"

"Shh, sorry. What the hell are you talking about? I can't grasp the flow back and forth at all... but I need you to tell me so I can understand."

Yuki probably doesn't understand either.

"I can't help it... I'll explain it to you and the pandas."

The Mikaels showed their faces, 'Uh, I don't need anything else,' but this place is through. The pandas can't help knowing, but if we don't, something bad can happen.

"Oh, hey, please"

"Master Yuki sees the sexuality that I like cute women, and she's trying to sacrifice herself!

"Huh...... Huh!?"

"No, you don't have to tell everyone! The fact that Yuki found out about this sexuality that I've been desperately hiding. It's such an honor to have you so concerned!

"Hey, I..."

So this kid didn't fit on the level of being a cute thing lover, and he was gay?

"Heh... you solved the problem."

That's just a big reversal. The unexpected development solved the problem. Maybe Yuki can't even assume it. I don't know if I can get married, but I don't have a problem with being 100% at once...

"No, that's not the problem... yeah"

"I'm fine! If it's a labyrinth city, it's fine. I hear a lot of them."

No, because even labyrinth cities don't change being a minority. Not even a complimented hobby.

"Look, look, I'm still 20% weak..."

"I don't know how much Yuki would do, but even 0% is not particularly problematic! Yes… 20% …"

"Hey... what?

As I noticed something terrible, for a moment Lehne's movement stopped and I shook up wannabe. I don't understand any of this kid's thinking patterns from now on.

"How dare you!? If you miss this place now, you won't be able to indulge 20% Yuki!

"Ha!?"

"A chance to indulge in Yuki's mystery in a 20% state. You can't miss this. Shit!

"No, because things are wrong. Hey, hey, Lene. Mr. Lehne!?"

Raine approaches Yuki with a beastly breath. I'm a bystander now.

"Yes, I'm fine. If you count the stains on the ceiling, you'll be done."

"What are you talking about!? Your nose is bleeding!? Hey, hey, what is this stupid power!?"

Uh, Mr. Lehne, you're a monster who can't even contain me. Yuki may have to entrust everything to Mr. Lehne already.

● REC

Oops, strange characters came up for some reason, but I'm never using the status card video shooting feature.

Damn, I shouldn't have ketched a GP that raises the resolution.

"Hey!? What are you taking?!? This is a place to help!

"No, 'cause you're my fiancée, right?

"Yes! No problem at all. Shit!

"It's full of problems!? Ha-ha-ha!

"Oh, how adorable is Master Yuki, who resists desperately. It's okay, it's okay. Just a little bit, just a little bit."

Where did you learn that word?

"Michelle! Miguel! Stop Lene!

With Yuki's screaming voice, the baffled pandas move out. I went back to sanity, too.

"Don't let go, you beast! I will now travel to the world of twirling sensuality with Master Yuki...... Kaha!

He was a rene who continued his rampage without taking the pandas' suspicious powers for nothing, but his head tilts and faints like he was unintentionally struck from nothing.... Oh, Clear Hand.... or which is the beast.

"Get out!!"

All the pandas who helped us, us getting slapped out of the cranhouse.... that, why am I getting slapped out too? I'm a landlord.

Exactly, Yuki's authority can't ban me from entering the room, so I can go back... but it's not a good idea to leave me alone. Mr. Lehne, you're collapsing in front of the transfer gate.

"What are you doing to me?

"Ugh... Ugh, Master Yuki shouldn't. I should be able to fight that mystery... What a sinner..."

"No, because you're the one who's guilty"

Because it's usually a crime. Isn't it an attempted rape? I don't know how many men and women stand against each other, but if they do, they'll be arrested for sure.

"Why would you do something that would ruin your life if you tried to land softly?"

"What should we do, Computational...? I didn't know I was going to lose sight of myself..."

Have you gone back to sanity by now? It's super late.

"Well, can't you do something about it?

"No, you can't, can you?

No matter how much I can't read the air, I can't.

"Or get into this clan to make up for it little by little on the AC..."

"... he's a sub-master, so he's got the authority to kick in the army even if I let him out."

"Oh, no..."

Lene fell powerless into the cobblestone. This is exactly what the Five Bodies are going to do. I can't show it to my parents.

"Just go home for today. I'll tell Yuki from me.... I don't think I want to."

I mean, he's going to get mad at me for eating rolls up to me, but how can you?

"Ugh... Oh, my God. Today's a good day."

"No, you're underage. You can't drink in this city until you're twenty."

"Such an idiot...... so how do I deliver this broken heart"

No, I don't. By the way, Yuki's picture is out of stock already. I don't think they'll let me take it.

"That's right, what about Watanabe buying it? Because I've seen them for sale."

"I'm fifteen."

"... Huh?... Huh?

Don't look at it again. I don't care what you think, you look like you're an adult, but you're a clean fifteen. I'm sixteen in about three months.

"Kumar......"

The three pandas that were thrown out after eating the roll are twilight on the way. Those guys have to do something too... we can't leave Lene alone, can we? If this is the person you're going to end up with, or if you're a stranger, comfort yourself and go to the hotel GO! Oh, my God, I'm no thankful for these visible mines. If you find out about that, you could get a definitive crack in your relationship with Yuki.

"Oh, speaking of which, it's possible to drink."

I remembered at odd times.

-3-

"... I see. So you brought me here."

This is a bar in the Clan House of the < Meteor Knights >. I came to the place where I was supposed to disturb you alone today.... with Lene and Panda.

I don't even care about my age here. I was just planning on coming for a drink, which is bad for Mr. Laurent, but let me make the most of it.... No, I'm sorry.

"I'm so sorry. Almost irrelevant..."

"I'm the one who said I could bring someone in, and that's fine. I never imagined I'd bring three pandas and a heartbroken girl."

I didn't imagine it either.

"Excuse me, Mr. Barten. Can I get the strongest alcohol because I don't care about the brand or anything?"

Is it only alcohol in your eyes anymore, Lene, who orders from a woman dressed as a line-up bartender in the corner of the counter?

"I'm sorry. Please let me drink whatever you want and crush it. I want to forget everything."

"Ha ha..."

I ask Mr Barten, who has turned his face to 'what shall we do', to amuse Lehne.

... I've seen that bartender before, but I guess I've seen it wrong.

"I mean, that Mr. Barten is Mr. Bennett's sister..."

"... I don't think we should ignore him because he's not going to find out."

I wear a mask like the one I use at the masquerade, but that noticeable pink hair can't be deluded. I met Mr. Bennett on an expedition before. Two melons.

I guess being here means twin Mr. Annette. You can't delude even my clanmaster opponent.

"I wasn't really going to let the team in, but it looks like they came in on their own.... If you don't like it, I'll kick you out."

"No, there's no problem."

There doesn't seem to be any real harm, and I'd prefer someone to deal with Lene. I don't know why I snuck in.

So I got my mind back and decided that Mr. Laurent and I would rent a box seat and have a drink.

Forget about Lene for a moment.... Oh, let's just text Yuki. "I'm not bad. " Ever... No, it's really nothing wrong, and why are you seeing this?

"The knob only dries...... because I'm Annette, shall I make something for you? Hey, Annette!

"Oh, it's not Annette. I'm a bartender."

"Then I wonder if you could make some knobs, Mr. Sasha Bartender. I like the one that fits brandy."

"Sasha bartender. I can finally ask for Lane's amulet."

"Oh, I'm in awe... why are you doing this..."

Mr. Annette, Sasha's bartender, questioned his situation while heading to the back of the counter.

Mr. Laurent is used to it. If that is vegan, then he is a shame, unlike Mr. Bennett. No, Mr. Bennett's not that close, either, but not from Aura. The knobs are also more happy with the proper stuff, so it helps.

I haven't cooked yet, but I start drinking lightly. I haven't had much experience drinking brandy, but I got the same for Mr. Laurent.

I honestly don't know the taste well because there is no comparable object in past experience, but I think it might be delicious. In other words, the cheese and chocolate that I prepared from the beginning is amazing and delicious.

"I wanted to talk to you properly for once."

"When I was an oak noodle, it wasn't even a place to talk about something."

"Forget that."

Well, I don't care what you think. It's like ugliness. Which is fine, because MINAGI is more impressive.

Mr. Laurent, why don't you drag me back into serious mode.

"I feel like I've been bought a lot."

"That's not true. Attacking the trial in one day, no adventurer could have achieved in the past if he had eaten up all that on Archet in the rookie battle and had the fastest intermediate rank promotion, destroying crusade-designated species like Wyburn and Oak Champion in just a few months. I mean, I guess I won't be able to do it anymore."

That's awesome to see in line, my background. Any one of them is tough.

"You also know you defeated the Oak Champion. Even though it's only a few days."

"The information in this hand would be gathered on its own if it were a clanmaster. If it wasn't just you, but something was going to be talked about, the informant would send it to me on his own. Mostly information for the scouts." Ark Sabre, I don't think we're putting in a lot of effort because we have specialized personnel. "

"I see."

If that's the kind of scouting purpose, the information is certainly faster. They say the conditions for joining the group are strict, but they still pick up noticeable information. What < Arc Sabre > can you join even in the lower ranks... I mean, is it so normal to hire staff in a clan?... In the future, should I hire those pandas too?

"I didn't ask you to go as far as the situation, but you put that avant-garde killing in place for four, didn't you? Rumor has it you're not a clanmaster."

Avant-garde killer...... he was certainly not strange to have such a nickname. Tilia is alley, but she's not going to function properly in front of him except for a regular shield position. Just get a good shot and you're out.

"Antisleigh or something. But do you write already?

"Haha, right. Actually, I'm looking through it, too. I don't read mine, because your thread is hilarious. I didn't think he'd come out."

"Because there was a guy who wasn't anonymous but was fighting and selling. I texted him directly to make a death match in the arena and he got away."

"I think you'll get away with it."

The obvious lies and bad words disappeared after the arrival of the person, but in my case, the truth is mixed, so there is no need to put out the fire. I can't believe you've been watching Miruku Pu for a long time. Conversely, there is nothing more scary. That's crazy... sudden tears...

So, what I'm doing is pretty much out of control?

"Dafan is. I hear you're talking about an expedition. It's not going to be too shabby."

"From Mr. Glenn...... oh no, you have that kind of handover if you're a top clan"

"I heard this one directly from the Dungeon Master. If you suck at it, it's more than 100 layers of infinite corridors. Brothers, I wonder if we can get something later."

It's a big deal for Dammus because it captured the Infinite Corridor 200 layer of authority. I didn't even know it existed. For once, the structure of the Infinite Corridor 101 and beyond may even have an impact. I got paid, but I don't know if I can get anything.

Speaking of which, you and Mr. Glenn are brothers.

"That's right. I don't have much private interaction, but I'm not hiding it, and if I know a little bit about it, I think I know it."

"During the expedition, he said he didn't like it. Mr. Glenn, I don't think so."

"Well...... I guess I'm not good at it. In the end, I didn't inherit the house, but that's the eldest son of the main house, this one is the common son of what was cognizant, and I knew it when they asked me to be the greatest person in the house ever since I was a kid. It's been a little difficult for me to say that I don't really care about that for a long time. There are no more nobles."

Is it a birth problem? I don't think it's something I care about now, but it may be difficult to change the relationship I've built up over the years. There are personality differences, and it would be difficult to say that one side doesn't care about each other.

"Noscoll's house will be a family business for generations, and the boys will almost certainly be knights. But there's more to it than a house. If you think you graduated from military school and were promoted beyond a long download to a bowman soldier captain, your brother is a high-ranking officer a year after graduating from cadet school. The speed of birth is unlikely to be that far from home alone. With talent in his personality, he also has the luck to benefit from military merit. They're high up and down the ranks until they're rated inside the army. You didn't have a narrow shoulder for me or my second brother."

"You mean a tremendous masterpiece. There's gonna be a name in history until future generations, and it's gonna be in a textbook."

"Ha, I might be listed. Because two or three of the empires are dropping a small country. I'm guessing we're still doing stage plays at the Imperial Theatre."

Aren't you a bee hero? I don't think he's the same person who's asked me to cry once in chess.

"I have a sense of family style, fame and talent, and my personality is not a serious type of bee, but a sense of humor. Perfect. Perfect."

"My personality was beefy. I used to feel like a rooted samurai, a knight, not someone whose jokes would make sense, like right now."

"Oh, have you come to the labyrinth city a little bit and changed or something?

"It's only been a few years since I've changed. That's why I'm honestly confused about my brother right now. It overlapped with the time I was dented."

"Is that the seventy-five layers of the example?"

I'm talking about a hierarchy where detailed information has not been released, but has been stalled for several years. When it comes to the Meteor Knights, it is also a topic that always goes around with it. Few people have said that this 100 layer will be a reproduction of it.

"Yes. No, it was terrible back then. Including me and Archet, they're in the Knights of Meteors. There's a lot of expectations around here, and there's no one to stick around like right now, so the news is all about us.... To be honest, I was also thinking about quitting at the time. The stuff on my back is too big for me to quit."

It means that the situation that the lizard old man was really afraid of was intact.

"Beyond the seventy-fifth layer, the sense of obstruction remains unchanged. Rather, it gets worse and worse. I know we can't solve this without pulling out the forward Ark Sabre and moving forward on our own. That's a few years.... but watched that rookie fight and blew it off beautifully. So you're my hero."

"That's not..."

"I don't want you to be inferior, and you should honestly receive the rating. Excessive humility leads me to make fun of everyone who appreciates you."

…………

A mild intention of modesty was given back the words of the d direct ball, and there were no two sentences. Even though I haven't been able to appreciate myself, I do. Even if he says it in person, he won't want to hear words that insult the person he's evaluating.

I had no words, so I drank instead.

"Well, I'm similar. The ratings around me don't match. You won't listen to me when I tell you I'm not. That's how it even carries the ideal image pushed by others"

"... doesn't that feel heavy?

"I feel it, and it must actually be a load. … but there are aspects to it that can grow with its burden"

I don't know what you're talking about. But I still feel itchy and heavy when it comes to me. I also feel like letting me do it on my own. It wouldn't be uncommon for someone to crush with that load. I guess it depends on people, but in a negative and positive way...... I look bigger in a negative.

"I asked Arsche, but she told you to wait first, like a senior. It's just like that."

"Oh... if you ask me, that's something similar."

I do push ideals on people, too. Brilliant boomerang.... but what I said shouldn't be a mistake, and I'm not going to undo it. I want you to be there. I want you to stay ideal. I want you to stay beyond that. I can respect that because I'm someone who can swallow it.

... so I should be there, too. You just have to get more results than you can even be modest on your own. My manager just told me I was the one who gave the results, no matter what the cause or history.

"So Archet is moving forward whether he's a well-dressed senior or not. Even if she fails and gets depressed, she won't deny the consequences."

"And Mr. Laurent?

Well, so am I.

I see. He's certainly a well-dressed senior.

"So what do those well-dressed seniors want to talk about?

"I just want to zero my stupidity today. I don't have anybody to talk to."

Stupid. Well, that's fine because I knew it, but the conversation was terrible.

"I thought you meant the Infinite Corridor, level 100."

"Yes. The 100-one layer I'm attacking right now is not half the way. It's a little unusual. It hasn't gone out of style. Maybe that's what everyone in it thinks."

"Hey, are you a fool to Dammus?

"It could be.... but all I can say is stupid. Details beyond the seventieth layer will not be conveyed due to perception inhibition.... I guess that's a test to include."

That's the spiciness that only the attacking parties can understand, so you want us to put on the keri alone? Tough.

"A wall of trials to be an adventurer. There were ten walls, thirtieth, fiftieth, sixty-fifth and seventy-fifth to prove that they were gaining minimum strength, but this time the digits were different. I've had enough of this, but I can ask for more than that."

"Is it a sub-god?

"Oh well... do you know? Yes, we will literally stop being human. That's the final test for that.... I don't know if I can pass it on, but my enemies are sub-gods again."

"Huh...?

Maybe my face would have caught on when I heard that.

It doesn't have to be complete when it comes to sub gods. It's like they're sticking one foot in God... is that who they are? Sometimes an opponent called God can be an enemy in RPG, but that's exactly the situation.

"Really... you haven't gone out of style"

If you don't have any comparative information, it's still fine. If it's just a game, even God is pinkier, and sometimes other races are stronger.... but I know. There are two sub-gods I have ever met. It's Dammus and that unnamed two-hundred layer administrator. Perhaps so is the party you're attacking with Dammus. And then, I wonder if the Beast God, who is not certain, is giving Gaul protection. And the operator of this city, the Four Gods, who is giving protection to Mr. Watermelon. I also feel that all of them are less mysterious to call God, but to infer from the information obtained so far, they literally have the power they deserve to reign as God. I don't know if it's okay to take Dammus as a yardstick going far ahead, but even if the pressure I felt in that red sky Colosseum is one end of it, I'm not the one who can handle it.

"Does this tell you too... I don't know what the criteria are"

"In my case, I have advance information, so isn't it because of that?"

"I see. Then it's your fault, and shall we try everything? As I was saying, the enemies of the 100th layer are sub-gods, and the hell is not the only boss. That came out as well, the first one, and besides, I didn't know, it came out as well. That's..."

That was the limit. Maybe more than that, even if you have prerequisite information, it's information I shouldn't know.

It's been about half an hour since I found out. How stupid I wanted to say it, this guy.

"It hardly seemed to tell, but it was a little neat."

"That's good"

Sometimes it's easier just to say. It would be an honor to help the hearts of those who fight on the front lines.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a second"

So Mr. Laurent took a seat. He doesn't really feel like a toilet, but he's human, so he'll probably excrete.

When I looked at the counter thinking it had gotten quite quiet, Lene remained swallowed. For some reason, the panda is drinking with me.

Only Mikael had become a bartender for some reason under the guidance of Mr. Annette. I don't know how that happened, but don't let a three-year-old panda do the bartending. I mean, it's oddly handy, but what do you mean?

"Ugh... Panda, listen to me... I just want to worship Yuki's divine body as a pioneer of humanity... yes, you're an uncomfortable person, aren't you?... Ugh, Mr. Barten, have another drink... with a lock on the jock"

Don't drink at the jock. How many bottles are you opening, you. It's a luxury, but the bottles around it are definitely expensive.

-4-

One person, I'll just take the glass a little seriously with one hand. Just because you're under perception inhibition doesn't mean you've been stopped from imagining it. It's good enough to imagine what difficulties lie ahead.

Even so, there is little information. The certainty is that the enemies of the 100th layer are sub-gods, I don't know some, but more than one. That's all.

Perhaps the floor boss is also a sub-god. I know it's hard at that point, but maybe it's more than that. It's a dumbass that's been lightly smashing my imagination. It can't be that warm.

What bothers me is whether sub-gods are such a number. Even if there are a lot of them, is that something you can place as the boss of the infinite corridor? According to the stories of Dammus and unnamed administrators, a sub-god equals an administrator of the world. Regardless of whether you actually manage it, you have the power to do so. Stick that kind of presence in the dungeon? If you say it just once, you still won't be able to put it there all the time.

'Cause it's also a sub god territory... we're negotiating that we don't need to make enemies without darkness, but it took time to get behind us.'

That's what Mr. Glenn said during the expedition. That should have been a story about the ruins of the Dark Continent and the Great Forest of Demons. It's hard to believe that we're negotiating in the complete sense that we're following Dammus. It would be impossible to place those guys in an infinite corridor. Other dungeons...... for example [Castle of Blood] 'Cause I heard the boss is a replacement by monsters of similar stature, not lottes. Lotte was the boss when we tried because it was a special event. The same goes for Pandas and Huge Lizards and Grand Golems in the Infinite Corridor. Those guys are not unique individuals, but multiple individuals boss around. Crusade Designated Species seem unique, but they won't appear for a while once defeated. That's a big part of what Ladine said about a one-time meeting. Therefore, it is unrealistic to stake out a sub-god because of how many layers of 100 are the final trials. I know if that's where you live, but whatever it is, it won't be there.

It reminds me here of [Castle of Blood] Fourth Gate [Between Threats]. In my case, the arrogant grandfather was the opponent as it were, but the other members each played and fought the opponent they felt threatened. Same as that...... a similar mechanism might be possible. Multiple copies of the sub-gods appear as enemies. However, it is not tailored to challengers like [during the threat], but at least with strength that remains equipped with its character as a sub-god….

Just a guess, but you're hard to think about. It's hard to imagine because there's only one opponent who feels the strength, but even if it's Dammus right after he attacked 100 layers and became a sub-god, it won't be a lot.

It's subtle if we could take it seriously, but we've confronted Mr. Asha before. That was certainly isolated from us at the time, and we are still not a decent place to do it. But no matter how strong it is, it's as strong as you can imagine. Perhaps a sub-god is more than that...

"Go ahead."

Drifting alone through a sea of thought, I was accidentally pulled back. Looks like Mr. Annette brought me some extra dishes.

Is it compatible with alcohol, there are many things that feel more like dishes than meals.... you're someone who can cook. You can always go to your wife.

"Oh, thank you. Nice to meet you, isn't it? Watanabe Tsunami."

"Hi. Nice to meet you. I won't reveal my name because of it, so please call me Sasha Bartender."

Do you still carry on that character?

"... 100 layers sounds tough"

This man is also one of the front-line members of the Meteor Knights. The difficulty of 100 layers should be felt by yourself.

Did you match the content of the conversation, Mr. Annette took off the mask? From here on out, I'm guessing that means Annette herself, not the bartender.

"... we're pulling our legs."

"It doesn't mean you're not strong enough, does it?

He is a member who has completed the attack up to ninety-nine levels in the bend. Whatever the difference, I don't think there's anything like pulling my leg.

But Mr. Annette shook her head.

"Perhaps only a few of the supernatants are qualified to challenge us. Maybe the same is true of Ark Sabre, but it's not a test that can be broken in a small number."

"I guess the stage is jumping over that if you have an ace, you can handle it."

Assign roles and attack with a mentor specific to each. I'm sure we can't break through without aligning the finest pawns in all respects. I guess that's such a test.

... I don't know how many people there are, but they're not six. Even if I'm just listening to you so far, there are too many stories that don't go through to attack just one party. Private information, but probably not a one-party offense after the seventies.

Then Bacchus' anomaly that he's attacking it solo is noticeable, but if we leave that aside... I don't know if it's twelve or eighteen or more, but the 100th tier is being asked for specialized combat power for that number of people. Neither < Meteor Knights > nor < Arc Sabre > has enough heads.

"We will need training on a monthly basis, … on a yearly basis, if we are to keep up with the level of commander or deputy commander"

"If you take the time, you'll see what you can do about the attack."

"Right.... I thought it might not be possible. Just in the meantime you catch up. I guess it's the real deal of the captain that you can't tolerate that. I want to dress up, as a senior."

…………

I see. You can't tell me that directly. It would be foolish.

"What, for example, is it impossible to try jointly with < Arc Sabre >?

"... what?

"No, even if the amount of supernatant isn't enough, there are two clans. If you put the two together, it might be enough."

…………

"Nah, it's an unseen amateur idea."

The hurdle would be huge to consider. The relationship between clans, the honor of being the first to attack the 100s of layers, and working with the Ments I don't usually fight with is a problem, even if I can easily think of one. However, if it's only my primary goal to move forward... if that's all I'm thinking about, maybe I should consider it.

"… Next time, let's put it on the agenda at a meeting"

"Is that, unexpectedly, an ant?

"It's full of problems. The hurdles are huge, and it's not a realistic story... if you want to limit yourself to 100 layers only... or"

I think everyone is going to think about it... but surprisingly, they may not be visible.

"... by the way, you're not a sassy bartender now, you're fine with Mr. Annette, right?

"Ah, yes. It's Annette."

"During the expedition, Mr. Bennett said he couldn't even make a lover for long without his sister getting married."

I think the nuances are slightly different, but they should fit.

"... there's a lot going on. Yeah, it's the one called Adult Love Facts. It's never about me not being aggressive."

No, you don't have to look that far. I can generally imagine.

"There's a lady there who's swallowed me, but if she's as aggressive as she is, wouldn't she make progress? It's too aggressive."

"By the way, for your information... no, just for your information, what did you do? I heard a little about it, but I didn't know what it meant because I was drunk."

"I did something wrong with rape in front of people."

"You can't do that. Ugh!?"

No, for your information. I didn't tell you to do it.

"Besides, from a woman or something... yeah...?

Apparently, he's a uber.... but he said he'd be interested.

"Ah, Mr. Laurent is back"

"Wow, now. Annette returns to the Sasha bartender!

"Shouldn't you ask me a lot about swallowing it?

"I'm a sassy bartender and not Annette, so shh!

The bartender left for the counter.

"... Annette said something?

"When I put it in my mouth, I'll keep my mouth shut because the bartender is going to kill me."

"You got along a lot while I was in the bathroom..."

I think it's Mr. Laurent, not me, that Mr. Annette wants to get along with.

"But even though we look pretty much together, you and Mr. Bennett have a very different vibe"

"Oh, you met me on an expedition. I want you to tell me a lot about that time..."

Then the light topic continued until about the time the date changed. Sometimes I don't recognize the influence of alcohol, but it shouldn't be a big deal to look at before or after the conversation. Maybe it's what Laurent meant when he said when he was first invited that he wanted to drink and be distracted.

You can't respond to me asking for something, and you don't have that power. I'd say no to the ass hole emotionally, but he shouldn't be a faggot either.

And the intoxicated Lene and the two pandas were left intact, and I somehow got to go home with Mikael, who was a bartender skilled.

At times like this, it's nice to be close to each other in the cranhouse. I can go back to my room in a few minutes.

"Then it's a treat. Say hello to Annette, not your bartender."

"Ha, I'll tell him right away."

A sassy bartender with a mask in the back of the counter reacted, but ignored here.

"Have you been a little distracted?

"... oh yeah. Shall we have another drink sometime? Now not just the two of us, but Archet and his brother together."

"Right. I'll look forward to it. Well, I know it's troublesome, but please explain when Lene and Panda wake up."

Copy that.

They were just really drinking. And just expensive liquor.

Watanabe-kun.

And I was stopped when I had to go home. Looking back, Mr. Laurent stands alone there unchanged.

I just don't have the same expression as I did earlier. It had the eyes of a man who was ready for something.

"I almost finished without being able to say the key thing. It bothered me a lot."

"... what is it?

"What Archet said, I declare, too. I... No, we wait first. I'll wait for you as seniors so long as I can't catch up."

It's a declaration that I'm going to embody the ideals I pushed. When you continue to be a well-dressed senior.

"I did hear that."

"... oh, now you can't pull any more. If you said such a big deal, it's impossible to stop at about 100 layers. Whatever hand you use, that wall will break through."

I'm waiting for the good news.

There's nothing I can do about this. Now I can only keep an eye on my senior figure and activity and move on to catch up. And I guess that's the right way to be as a junior. That's the way we need to chase them to infinity one day and move forward together.

Not directly related to that, but as a condition for my forgiveness to Mr. Yuki, the disposition of that swallowed me was decided to be banned from the Cranhouse.

After telling it, Lene became a desperate expression, but largely deserved it.... I guess I should put aside a little time to apologize. If you don't want to run wild, you can help a little.

-5-

Only a little time has passed since such an idiotic incident and Mr. Laurent's declaration, and it is in December. It is a season when you get quite cold and need cold gear to walk outside. Unlike last year, when I managed with one cape, I can afford to buy a coat this year. Is this something different in just one year? Maybe I should buy a torch or something.

There are many Christmas and New Year's Eve topics to be heard from all over the city in December, but there is actually another big piece of news calling for the topic. As for the Infinite Corridor 100-layer attack, the Knights of Meteors and Ark Sabre temporarily jointly stated that they would hit it. I don't know the details of the system or how it got there. I don't know if it was caused by what I told Mr. Annette or whether he planned to do it from the start, but anyway, the two top clans temporarily joined hands and challenged the big wall of over 100 layers.

Now that we're in the middle of the year, there are still no reports of 100 layers being attacked. But I am convinced that the offense is not about such a distant future. The declaration Mr. Laurent made that day shouldn't be that cheap. Whatever thick wall it is, it will bump you through by any means.

Meanwhile, pitiful story is, we're stagnating, too. The biggest problem is underwater combat. Yuki and Gaul were able to swim normally, and I was able to fight in my clothes, but not enough to fight in real life. Challenging the Serpent Dragon in this state would be no different than suicide. I mean, I can't even get there. Training and equipment development are progressing, but the forty tier strategy during the year was judged hopeless. Sometimes the challenge to the dungeon itself will be banned in the second half of December, and it is only after the dawn of the year that the offense will proceed in earnest.

Even the shortest schedule for the establishment of the clan put out by Kukuru is scheduled for the fifty tier offensive in March. I know it's not in such a hurry, but can't you handle it? Finally, they have a reid event at Christmas to fight the giant Santa.... Yeah, I'll join you, but what? I envy you if you have a lover.

There are many events in December. It is a city that is festive all year round, but events continue at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year.

... Leaving Christmas aside, the biggest event for adventurers will be a clan match at the end of the year. It is also a day on which the various rankings are significantly replaced. In this time of year, adventurers forget about the dungeon offense and make adjustments to the interpersonal battle. Mr. Night Light also got a direct email saying he was likely to make it.

We haven't set up a clan yet, so we won't be joining in on this, but Philos and Gowen are coming from Ark Sabre. It also means that they won an intermediate-ranked team match and a representative in each clan where the boundaries were set. I guess we'll be competing competitors next year, but I'll be purely there for you this year.

And one more thing. An unexpected event awaited.

Example expedition… or [stationary clock tower] attack members and officials received a request to attend the party. The invitation is not an email or a phone call, it is a letter. Unlike the fulfillment letter of Philos sent in the same letter, when I did it, it was an invitation that felt like I was a calligrapher of any kind in masterful writing, but when I read it to the end, the sender was not Dammus.

Listed as organizer/sender was the name Labyrinth City Lords Nayu Others.

The date is December 30 at the end of the year. The venue is the Labyrinth City Lords Hall. It's a mysterious place where whoever you ask doesn't know where it is.

I'm just wondering why it's not Dammus and why the name is Kanji, but the lord thing should be Dammus' wife. Little information so far. Video recordings don't even exist to be on the surface stage. I'm sure you're wondering what he's like, but that opacity was too creepy.

Time runs out, with Dammus out of touch either. Is that the footsteps that the mystery of a labyrinth city can make?... Is it my fault that I don't feel like just ending up at a party? Dammus says the king's capital can be wiped out, but I won't be.

Nevertheless, they are all a little ahead of us. Now I'm getting ready for underwater training to focus on what's right in front of me for now. The mobile jet screw that Ladine has prepared is quite a bender and takes a long time to turn it into a thing. When I see Yuki quickly using it, I envy that dexterity.

"Tuna, the Alliance just called."

Yuki asked the room and said so. I should have been in the living room, so would I have contacted the phone to put it down? Alliance contact is a lot of this pattern, but it may also be a decision that you shouldn't contact the status card directly.

"I wish you could text me or call me directly. Pending?

"No, I emailed her the details, so she told me to just tell her the story"

Then that doesn't sound like a big deal.

"Something tells me that a man named Berenvar has arrived in a labyrinth city. You're a war brave man, aren't you?

"Oh, no... time of year"

There is nothing to include in Berenvar.... I don't think so, but I had a bad feeling why. I don't know who I am. It is not a sense of crisis. But I felt like something was moving, something that I shouldn't leave unattended, peeking from beyond the giant hole.
