World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Episode Forty: The Officer in Charge's Upset

Everyone seemed to feel at ease and at the same time became aware of the hunger, and we talked about what we would eat after we went outside.

I tried to get up because it was bad for Theresia too, but she put her hand on my shoulder and sealed the move. If they do that, they won't be willing to wake up until they shake it off.

"... a knee pillow is something a man would love?

"Huh? Come on, what do you think? Looks like you're in the mood, as far as your brother's concerned."

"Well... because Mr. Alicht is so trusted about Mr. Theresia. Oh, you seem to calm down."

Suzuna understands that my feelings are quiet even with a knee pillow. Before psychic sensing, things like annoyance and evil are likely to be sensed in one shot - increasingly, I am required to be sober.

"Speaking of which, Ariadne was first hand in hand with Theresia, but that means Theresia is special?

"Maybe there's some connection between a subhuman who's deeply involved in the labyrinth and the mystery."

We still don't know why the Explorer who fell in the labyrinth becomes a sub. I don't know if I'll ever witness a moment in the future when the Seeker becomes a Subhuman, but I want to help both my own people and a passing party before it becomes irrevocable, if possible.

Even if I say I can faintly communicate my will, it's still too big to speak. If you also consider that a seeker who did not survive disappears without becoming a subhuman, maybe you should think it's a miracle that Theresia is just here - but all the time, it can't be like this.

…………

I looked unconsciously serious and Theresia looked worried. Just looking at my mouth, I'm starting to understand my emotions a lot.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking a little bit. Thank you, I've had quite a break."

Theresia seems like a shame, but she takes off the hand I put on my shoulder.

New American seekers, who have only just arrived on one level, are battling the Wattadama seven times over. I can hardly seem to hit him, but he seems to be getting the hang of it one by one.

"... Mr. Teresia was there at the rear, so you didn't have to make a fuss like that, did you? She handles swords very well."

"It really is. You can't fool around with a Wattadama tackle at level one."

"I also asked Mr. Elitia to protect me. Are they okay... oh, I think I can take them down"

I'm so happy to be hunting two wattadamas at the same six-man party as us. If they get to the second tier, they will find the material of our remaining demons - and if we bring it back, we will reap a great gain for our first exploration.

"Is it time for us to go? I'd like to report it to Mr. Louisa as soon as possible."

"We need to get the materials we sent to the warehouse to the demolisher as soon as possible."

The poisonous crystal stone of the dokuyariva, the ore that the oak had, the plain eater and gayshound material - and which gear to wear the rune you got by defeating the eagle-headed giant soldier. Even after adventure, there's a pile to do.

◆ ◇ ◆

Leaving the labyrinth, the time was around 5 p.m. In good time during guild hours, wait until Mr. Luisa finishes handling the other explorers and head to the same special room as yesterday.

The women went back to their quarters once. Reporting is said to be a leader's job, but the custom seems to continue. Well, I feel like the flavor of exploration until the report, so I don't mind if you leave that to me.

"Excuse me, I just finished my exploration and it may smell like sweat"

"What do you say, isn't sweat the medal of the Seeker"

If they smile at me for saying that, my heart must lean even if I'm not an immune man like me.

"... Le, Mr. Louisa, what is it?

Mr. Louisa approached me unexpectedly. I reluctantly ascertained the smell - dare I say, the way the distance is packed is too natural to bother me.

"Pfft... I don't care that much. It smells like Atobe."

"Eh... yes, that. I don't really think it smells good."

"Really... there may be a personal difference, but I'm fine"

Louisa says while hiding her mouth with files to use for work. Her tricks are becoming something that completely forgives her mind like a friend, not just the officer in charge.

(I'm usually careful not to open my chest, but as soon as I start walking with me, my guard is loose... maybe, maybe?

"Excuse me, could you wait in your room first? I will bring you a cup of tea...... or will they drink it already?

"Uh... uh, it's still bright now... Mr. Louisa, would you like to have a drink with me today?

"Are you sure? No, it's usually enough to eat. It sounds good when you drink it every day."

Mr. Louisa seems to be the type of person who wants to drink every day. But the guild is also quite an audacious organization that sometimes serves alcohol at the reporting table.

"... I wouldn't recommend alcohol to anyone else, would I? It's just Atobe."

"Yes, no, haha..."

Wouldn't you be stunned if you just said something like that? I can't think of a thoughtful return at a time like this.

Luisa's hindsight, going to brew tea, had a tight butt shape on her soft fabric skirt, and no place for eyes existed. From the clear impression of the first day, it changed a lot - but to be honest, if you like it enough to make it work, it wasn't a rush to keep trying.

◆ ◇ ◆

After a sip of Louisa's brewed cold herbal tea, I offered her my license. She takes out her monocular glasses, puts her hand on her chest and takes a deep breath before looking at the screen with seriousness itself.

"Well, let me take a look..."

Mr. Louisa used one-eyed glasses and had stopped from looking until the second line. After all, was the display of 'Unstepped Realms' too irritating - how can I wake her up?

"... Mr. Louisa?

"Hin!?

Louisa's chest bounces to the point where she seems to zero out of her open collar mouth to a clap that reacts to be bounced.

The shake continued for a while, but when she blushed all at once, she fixed her hair that wasn't even that messy, fixed her collar, coughed up and then looked at this one.

"... Dear Atobe, do you have any plans for your upcoming engagement?

"Buh... Le, Mr. Louisa, calm down. It's completely irrelevant."

"Ha... Yes, I just, did you say anything? I'm sorry, I'm so upset, I'm starting to realize that I'm of the right age..."

Hi. I hear she's confused and disturbed. Rather than that, you mean what you think comes out of your mouth - no, it would be too much of a leap to want to marry me because of how much credit you have.

(Hey, I'm getting nervous about something... my hand sweats are amazing. Calm down, we need to talk calmly)

Whether it's a good thing to talk about the mystery. '???? It says' freed up, 'so I think I'll need an explanation there.

We should follow the order for now. With a clear presentation, Louisa would understand.

"It is also an important agenda that Mr. Luisa is of the right age, but let us now talk about the 'untouched realm'"

"Yes, yes, no, I don't care what I am... I don't care when I'm of the right age... Ah, idiot... how dare I die... I can't live if Master Atobe despises me..."

"Yes, it's fine. I know you think of me as promising, and I'm so glad. But what Mr. Louisa panicked about wasn't thinking about the damage. That's what I think."

"... Dear Atobe..."

If I were to take her hand here, maybe it would be a romantic atmosphere - I can't really float in front of some of my buddies waiting.

"... thank you, I'm finally settled. You're talking about The Unstepped Realm. This means that no one has ever returned to the Alliance."

"Is that so... Luisa, as a matter of guild policy, will information be shared about the discovery of untouched areas?

"No, what we are going to talk about indoors will only be shared between me and Dear Atobe. It is up to the Explorer's discretion to report to the Alliance's upper management. The most important thing for the Alliance to avoid is to antagonize a good Explorer, so there is no provision that the information obtained in the search must be forcibly given."

I don't know about that. But can the Alliance let the Seeker do whatever he wants?

If the man in the upper guild is more potently weaker than the Seeker in the upper order, he may not be able to restrain him - but we are still running out and the sequence is low, and it shouldn't be impossible to make the provisions sound like shields.

(Doesn't that mean… above all, that the Seeker is encouraged to grow and become stronger with experience? But it...)

"... I know what you think. Such a policy would make it impossible to suppress them in guilds when those at the top of the sequence were rebelled against. The order of the labyrinth country will collapse, as everyone would think."

"But it hasn't. Are all searchers diligent even at the top of the sequence?"

"I can't say enough about that in general. But talented seekers who go up in sequence give priority to diving into the labyrinth rather than dominating and influencing others. One of the reasons for this is......" The Secret God ". I didn't expect Atobe to be discovered at this stage, but you discovered it and gained more protection."

Mr. Louisa knows about the mystery - but she doesn't know that she slept in the hidden hierarchy of the field at dawn.

Maybe she doesn't even know the details of the mystery, either. If that kind of presence is only shared in the labyrinth by the officials of the guild, I'm also convinced of her upset.

"To Master Atobe, I will tell you what I know. The founder, who created the Labyrinth Nation, set up a gateway to the labyrinth within the walls to allow him to explore the 'Forgotten Labyrinth' in various parts of the world. This means that the Labyrinth Nation was formed as a nation after collecting the Labyrinth Entrance within the Wall."

"... why did you collect the labyrinth? Forgotten means it was considered worthless."

"It's not. The Labyrinth has many mysteries and is equipped with obstacles and demons to protect its deepest treasures. Only a searcher of wisdom and power can solve the mystery… but there are countless labyrinths where those who challenge have been constantly renounced. Even now labyrinth countries may have an additional entrance to the labyrinth at some point. That's because those who inherit the will of the Founders, who are no longer visible, are still traveling outside the walls to gather their labyrinths."

Throw an attack round the Seeker and continue to collect the entrance to the Labyrinth - calling souls from other worlds, reborn them as reincarnators, forcing them to explore the Labyrinth, as Seekers.

I wonder if the 'founder' with so much power is no longer equal to God. The fact that he stopped showing up used to exist in this labyrinth country.

"To this point, it's something you can teach when you become an employee of the Alliance. Nor am I able to speak with a sense of reality… it's like I'm describing it in a textbook."

"No, that's enough." The Secret God "seems to be an object of worship in the Labyrinth Nation, but why is that?

"Because it is a being that gives shelter to the Seeker. At the same time, we have heard that mysteries can be hostile to each other… Fortunately, there is no battle between explorers in the Eighth District due to the small number of explorers who are gaining protection"

"In the Eighth District... I mean, sometimes in the Upper District, mysteriously protected parties fight each other."

"Unfortunately. The mystery is a venerable being, but it is also sacred, which must not touch its wrath. The Alliance may also offer a place or intervene in battle if the mysteries really have to fight each other. It's all about protecting the Labyrinth Nation in the way it is."

I could imagine how intense the battle between mysteries is in the current story. That is probably what is as dangerous for this country as the accidents that occur during 'box opening'.

I hope Ariadne doesn't meet the hostile mystery, but if he does, how do you avoid the feud - you have to think about that too.

"I see that the 'search for God' is the ultimate purpose of the Seeker. I can't tell you how big it is, but I'm also careful how I stand and behave so that the labyrinth country doesn't get worse."

"It would be helpful if you could say that. As far as I can, too, I will prepare the information that I can provide from my guild to serve Atobe's wishes. It is possible to alert the Alliance, for example when a contractor with another mystery creates a disturbance"

Luisa said she would cooperate fully. That's all I heard, and I thought of something.

If Mr. Louisa were to be promoted, would she also become more discretionary within the guild?

"If we achieve merit, would it be a plus for Mr. Louisa, who's in charge?

"Ha, yes...... let's see. When the Adventurer in charge is promoted to the Upper District, one Officer in charge is promoted…"

"Then we have to work hard in the future. You'll never regret taking charge of us. I'll pay you back for all the trouble I've done."

"… more than anything else, I'm happy to say"

Mr. Louisa blushes and smiles. The thin reddish lips glow in the light of the room, what a colour - and the karma rises when I stare.

"... Karma, I don't think it's going up anymore"

"What..."

"Yes, no...... it's nothing. If I did, you'd be too self-conscious...... I'll be alone today, even self-catering and solemn. If you don't, you won't have the right face for Atobe's party."

"Oh well...... then I invite you again. So this is this unrated field..."

"This one, I write a report and get a direct assessment. I think your contribution will be very high, so you can pass without taking your promotion exam to District Seven, how about it?

I've never crossed that if it's a free pass, but I wonder what it's about. If it's not dangerous, I'm interested in what it is.

"I am interested in the content of the exam. If you don't take it, don't you know what it is?"

"It will be about exploring any of the labyrinths in the Eighth District to find prescribed items or crusade demons. Each exam changes the labyrinth of the designation, so it is unfortunate to tell you the contents in advance…"

"No, I understand. I'll talk to everyone, but the basics are in the direction of letting them take it."

"Yes, I did. Then the exam date is every Saturday, so it will be two days later. Please sign up by tomorrow."

I'm also curious about the contribution to the four items that have not yet been evaluated, but for the first time, I can say that promotion to District 7 is a second reading, and I'm interested in you.

The next step is to bring the harvest to the demolition site. Let's go to the warehouse and ask the hauler to transport us, and try to rendezvous with everyone at the usual meeting point - in the square in front of the guild.
