World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Still at the stage of leaving the box store, the sun was high, and I first decided to ask the 'haulier' to carry what came out of the black box.

After waiting for a while at the box store, the haulier Mr. Farma arranged for me to visit him. Lovely, he was about my age. Apparently, he's Japanese.

Whether he was tailored on purpose in the labyrinth country, or wore it when he was reincarnated, he is dressed only to look like a carrier's work clothes. Well, I still have the suit I wore when I was reincarnated, too, and everyone seems to care about my clothes when I was reincarnated because they think they're precious.

"Chihuahu, I'm from the Carrier's Golden Cat Chamber of Commerce. That means you want me to carry the disposables that came out of the box, and your client is Mr Alicht-Atbe. Are you sure?

"Yes, I'm Atobe."

"I've heard rumors. Last time I was in charge with our rookie, no, that was huge. I've never seen an oak that big."

The Golden Cat Chamber of Commerce also seemed to be in charge of transporting the juggernaut. They were giant demons like mountains, but still carry them, arguably precisely transport professionals.

"Oh, you've been brought out valuables and things of value. Will everything you have left be sold?

"No, I'll donate some elementary gear. Selling it won't be that much, because I think it was originally dropped by a newbie seeker in an accident..."

"Oh...... that, indeed. The labyrinth is dangerous, so you can't say it's absolutely safe when it comes to hauliers. I have the expertise, so I'm confident I can carry it from a rather dangerous place."

"That's amazing...... Is the Golden Cat Chamber of Commerce also open in District 7?

"What... are you going up to 7th arrondissement!? I'm sorry about that! Of course, the Golden Cat Chamber of Commerce is open, and the person in charge will change to someone higher than me."

I told her that I would take care of her in the future, and I accepted her business card. His name seems to be Naomasa Sakai - "Border Correction" was also combined with the name Kanji.

"Then we will carry it exactly as you instruct. The commission is that we have disposed of the deformed currency and so on here and we will cover it with it. The surplus will be returned to the bank."

"Yes, thank you"

When Mr. Sakai finishes the hat he was wearing, he goes down the stairs in a light foothold. Later about three people appeared to be subordinates, followed by Mr. Border.

"Dear Atobe, if you don't mind, would you please continue to take Zion with you?

"What... is that okay? We're very helpful, but even as an escort to Mr. Pharma, Theon is very good..."

Mr. Pharma smiled and said as he approached Ake and Plum, who were tired of waiting and sleeping while sitting in their chairs, gently stroking their heads.

"Let the pretty one travel, I say. Ashtarte also became stronger by traveling with her husband. I wanted to let Theon have the same experience... and if it seemed difficult, then, as Atobe said, I would live with him in this house"

"... I think that's a very good thing too. But there's Theon, and many times we've been helped. I hope to explore it with you in the future."

"Thank you. Heh heh... Seems like Theon is happy too. I don't really have it, because this kid punched his tail so hard."

"Baugh."

Theon does move his tail flat as he sits down. How would a dog lover, Mr. Fifty Storms, react - sending his gaze, he was already mellow.

"Ha, cute...... I want to moff. Theon, I wonder how you can connect me to the back so much..."

"... I'm more of a stuffed animal than a real animal..."

"Mr. Ellie, did you say something?

"Huh... hey, it's nothing. By the way, Alicht, what are you going to do? I still have time for Serafina to rendezvous with the Alliance Sabres."

They say they have to return before dinner, so we have a few more hours. Speaking of what you can do in this time, what will there be - at lunch, so do you even eat somewhere?

"... eh"

Guuuuu, and I can hear something. Everyone looks at each other, but I was about to talk to Mr. Serafina about the bad things in between, so I realized her stomach was ringing.

Understand that she can't hide it, or put her hands on her stomach. Though the chest armor is quite thick, the armor is not covered to the abdomen, and you can see the armor underneath - I guess that's a lighter idea, but it's too heavy an equipment to be enough.

"... well, those who are heavily equipped need to eat about five meals a day due to poor fuel consumption... This time, I haven't brought my lunch, so..."

"Mr. Serafina, do you usually make lunches?

"Uhm...... no, it's normal time, so let's just say I get a firm tone. I make my own two meals a day because it doesn't taste like mobile food. The quarters I use are fully equipped with a kitchen."

You mean the military tone is only at work, or suddenly Mr. Serafina's language is softer.

"That being said, it's to the point of breaking a hard round bread and pinching vegetables and smoked meat. When you get cheese, even that kind of thing turns into a treat."

"Oh, that's good... I like Raclette. I don't like cheese with strong habits, though."

"Some people say they can make Japanese food, so I'm looking forward to it a little bit...... but if you're a cook like that, you're kept very busy"

It seems that Suzuna means Japanese cuisine. I don't mind either, but when I think of the days I went to a beef bowl shop, burger shop, or fixer, I feel like my body wants some dark flavor or junk food anyway.

"Well, so far, suppose you enjoy the taste of District Eight? If I may, I will say goodbye to this city for a while today as I go to District Seven tomorrow."

"Right...... Alicht, let's make sure we've never left it behind before we go. I hope I can say hello to all the people I've looked after so far."

I wonder how Elitia used to move to another district until she went to District Five.

I tell you myself, when I have to leave, I feel emotional about the streets of the Eighth District. It hasn't been a week since I was reincarnated.

"Uh... it's not even what I say looks great. We're with you everywhere you go, so you don't have to be so lonely... ahhh, whatever you say..."

"Mr. Kyoka is right. Mr. Alicht, if everyone at the party is with you, I'm sure you won't miss them anywhere."

Suzuna says frankly. Neither did Misaki now tear up, and he was laughing lightly - I guess these two opposite people are close because they acknowledge each other's way of thinking.

"… there is something to be apprenticed about the relationship of this party. The balance is preserved because Lord Atobe is not deeply associated with certain members."

"Ha... Mr. Serafina, I knew your tone would stick better"

"I think so, too. If you behave softly, you won't be in the mood."

Mr. Serafina was, in a way, the most itchy thing I've ever seen when his stomach was ringing earlier - I can't basically see him like that, it's going to be valuable.

"Kind of feels like Mr. Serafina's already part of the party."

"That's right, but you're at a different level. And it's Mr. Guildsaber."

"There is not so much difference between the Seeker and the Guildsaber. You can belong if you meet the level, or you can leave if you declare a month in advance. I have been a guild saber for about two years, but the rarer such a person is, the more newcomers are replaced."

I'm also interested in the structure of an organization called Guildsaber, but I'll try to ask that at lunchtime as far as I can hear it.

◆ ◇ ◆

We went into the dining room in town, surrounded the table and asked for a menu of thoughts.

Me and Elitia asked for a grill of "Gunfish" that said they were pretty tough enemies at level 3 or so. They have a cylindrical horn on their heads from which they shoot compressed water bullets, but the meat was white, soft, and tasteless without habit. There is a labyrinth inhabited by the superior demon 'Canonfish' in District Seven, who was taught to be famous as a rear guard killer - sometimes information is available in such places.

Mr. Fifty Arashi is talking about cheese and is attracted to it, or is he asking for pasta made with cheese made from buffalo milk? Mr. Serafina was on the same menu as Mr. Fifty Storms, and Misaki shared the paella of seafood with Suzuna, Theresia. Theon has asked the clerk to cut the whole sweet bird grill and make it easier to eat.

Demons that we haven't seen yet also come out as ingredients, but that's what we got from the three labyrinths in the Eighth Ward, where we haven't been in yet.

Since most explorers may take quite a few days to attack one or two labyrinths, and still stop without being able to attack them completely, the Labyrinth Nation's guild shows a policy that 'those who do not need to attack all the labyrinths, but become first in sequence in each district, will take a promotion exam'.

According to Ms. Serafina, going up to one upper district, information on the labyrinth in the lower district would become available upon request. However, they say it's one of the important sources of income for the guild, and the information fee isn't cheap.

"The Guild's library is set up in an odd-numbered district. If you ask the clerk, he'll look for the materials you need and bring them to you. I also use it when I have free time."

"Is that like a library? I don't like it because I have to be quiet, but Tin can stay for hours."

"I like to read books. I used to go to the school library."

I don't hate books either, so I want to stop by once when I go to 7th Ward. Listening to Mr. Serafina, my feelings naturally rise.

"Lord Atobe, can you even refer to such a story...?

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to going to District Seven, too. Speaking of which, Seraphina, at level 11, would a proper difficulty district be about the fourth district?"

"It will. The level of Lord Atobe and his men is about two on average in the phase of District VIII. I think Lord Elitia is going up to Ward Five, but the Explorers of Ward Five are like levels eight to nine."

"When Mr. Serafina sets up his shield, he has the power to say that no attack will pass, right? Level 11... If we get that strong, we're going to have a great party."

If you're just going to live safely, if you can bring Teresia back to being human and save your fellow elitists, then all you have to do is live without imposing. Our assets today will be enough to play and live for a few years - in a way, it's not a dream story for me not to have to work before I'm reincarnated.

But stopping means we won't have a chance to help a party devastated in the labyrinth like the Georgs.

While you dive into the labyrinth aiming up a bit, you can do enough to help the party you see. Sometimes without our strength, both sides will be wiped out, so I want to always have the upliftment to be strong.

"By the time I can catch up with Mr. Serafina one day, I'll see you again...... no. Before that, I might use a saber ticket. Will you fight with us again?"

"Ah, rear kun...... that's a bit, even if we just met, the fever hasn't gotten too high......?

"Well, that's not true... it's the pride of a warrior to have you say you want to fight with me. Lord Atobe and everyone at the party are looking forward to seeing you again."

It would also be on the edge of something to have a party here. I imagine she might join the party as an avant-garde in the future - but even if she doesn't, I want to keep moving forward so that one day I can catch up with her.

◆ ◇ ◆

After reporting to Mr. Louisa that he had opened the second of the black boxes and had dinner with her, she and I split up before returning to the dormitory, each on their way home.

She was also supposed to move to District 7 as our representative again, so she seemed unfortunate, but it didn't mean she was staying today. Because we need to get some baggage sorted out by the end of the night.

Had Madoka been waiting in the dormitory to appraise the weapons and if I could change my gear, I would have changed them, but I didn't have the gear to replace them instantly because of their close performance. But the demonic stone harvest is huge - three new ones were obtained: "Yangyang Stone," "Earthdragon Stone," and "Explosive Stone," increasing the width of attribute addition.

"We also often talk about having a spare piece of equipment and using equipment with different demonic stones for each labyrinth."

"Oh, right. Rent a warehouse to store your gear. Maybe we should have some gear shelves to sort it out. Madoka, I'll give you a budget, so can you ask me to renovate the warehouse? I don't care if you go up to 7th arrondissement."

"Ha ha... I can't believe you let me do such a big job... thank you, brother..."

Madoka is definitely scared, but she's really helpful to have her. If I can, I want to make her do all the things she wants to try, in the way I've become a sponsor.

Melissa, who watched such interaction beside her, says a little jealously.

"... I hope I can help soon, too. I haven't done that much so far."

"Right... you don't really have the opportunity to change membership because Masaki's skills are surprisingly useful"

"Oh, but me, I'm actually a pretty weak girl, so I'm feeling a little tired and tired on my adventures all day long. What do you mean by" konpak "?

"I'm tired and I'm in trouble, it would be nuanced like... well, you're tired. Taking that into account, do you rotate to prevent fatigue from accumulating?"

"Then I can go with you. I don't want to use Dismantler for a long time because I have skills that I can only use while exploring."

As usual, the tone is pale, but I still feel quite motivated from Melissa's eyes to see if she has enough energy in her answering machine.

(Mr. Rykerton, Mr. Farma. I'll keep my dear family, but I'll be sure to come back safely. It will be a long journey, but don't worry, wait)

"What's going on? You look amazing in the back."

"Oh, no. When I went to 7th arrondissement, I thought I'd write to the people I took care of..."

"So shall we all split up and write then? You don't have to do that, you don't have to go over there to take care of me, so I think it's okay."

"That's true too...... sorry, suddenly it's sentimental or something like that. I don't know what a good old man is talking about, but I think to myself."

Mr. Fifty Storms was listening to me without being stunned. If you're looking at something with such a kind eye, you're going to keep talking about it without any benefit.

"If your brother misses you, Teresia will accompany you to bed with him. Oh, Tin, I don't mind."

"Oh... that's... I wish I could be in your room with Mr. Alicht, but if I wasn't, I don't think it would be natural"

"... Huh? So, if Suzuna was in the same room with Alicht... and she didn't, did she? Sleeping with you is a little early, because Alicht is also a man..."

I also feel Elitia is subtly saying terrible things, but it was a statement that made me want to make sure Suzuna was sincere, too. I'm not eager to accompany you to bed, and I don't think it's possible - but when I was grinding, you know, Teresia was staring at me.

…………

"... Yes, no. The bath, it's natural to go in with everyone else, is more dangerous in a way than sleeping with you..."

…………

The silent pressure flows through my honesty. And only today, everyone won't give me a helping boat.

"Today is the last time I'll be spending time in this dormitory... considering that"

"If we go in together again and stop, Alicht will be in more trouble. Let's wait quietly for the order."

"What is this air... that Teresia is supposed to do with your approved brother's back flushing? Why don't you decide in Amida?

"Oh, um... so, me and Melissa, too, wouldn't it be nice to come in with your brother if we hit it?

…… I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. "

Melissa responds by being called her own name, but is confused that she seemed to have entered her world. The emotion of shame on her seems rare, but I wonder - is that rude?

"... okay, take a bath with an old man like this. Teresia, be careful not to climb up."

"You're still young to say old man, your brother is"

"That's right... if you're about ten years old, you're still within acceptable limits"

"... I'm worried about Suzuna, so I need to see what's going on. Don't Kyoka think so, too?

"Well, uh... even if you did something, I'm sure you're unconscious, so it's hard to blame."

Sure, I'm worried about Suzuna being fluffy like this, but it doesn't mean it's up in the sky during the fight, so it doesn't mean it's urgent and needs countermeasures.

"Mr. Alicht, please warm up slowly."

"Oh, oh... I have everyone's order, and I'll be up there as soon as I can"

Theresia takes her seat and heads to the bathroom. I'm going to look back and see if I cared if I wouldn't run away - I can't keep her waiting, and I went to get dressed while everyone looked at me smiling.

◆ ◇ ◆

The next morning, after finishing our assignment early in the morning, we greeted Mr. Millet and left the Orrells Mansion, which we had taken care of for a short time.

The maids line up at the garden and drop us off. Some were crying - that's how happy they are with our promotion, or are they showing us?

"Ladies and gentlemen, be sure to wake me up to this mansion again. We'll be here any minute."

"Oh, I'll show my face again. Thanks for everything, Mr. Millet."

I shook hands and promised to reunite with the people I took care of.

- And that's when I tried to get out.

I guess I could have left the clinic by now. Georgs, the party is coming to this mansion from the outside.

"Alicht... are you going now...?

Georg, Jake, Mikhail, Tyler. And - he was manipulated by a clown of the crawling grass, and there's Sophie.

"Oh. Nice to finally say hello. The North Star gear we found was delivered to the haulier. Check it out when you get back to your room."

"Did you get that far...... thanks. You're the benefactor of our lives. Sophie said she wanted to thank you for waking up yesterday..."

The frivolous woman, who had no light eyes on the bed, had now firmly regained her brilliance in those eyes. The bright white hair has a slight return in color - is it something that has restored your health that affects your hair tone so quickly?

She had chestnut hair and was a beauty with a calm atmosphere who knew exactly what the men at the party would do with her. When she stands in front of me, she gets so nervous, she still tries to tell me something.

"... thanks. If it weren't for you and your subhuman girlfriend, I'd be..."

She also seems to remember me and Theresia entering Sophie's spiritual world and fighting.

Seems like you're not just welcome, and I thought I should do something - I exchanged hands with Sophie just like Mr. Millay.

"I'm glad you're feeling better. I know there's a lot going on here, but I think we can help. Take care and good luck."

"Yep... I'm hoping to rest for a while and then resume exploring again. The sequence has dropped dramatically due to the total annihilation, so let's all start over with a small, scattered quarterhouse."

"That's a tough one... but for once it's the party that ranked No. 8 in sequence. Georg, you were pretty depressed, but you're not feeling well anymore."

Georg's goggles have been repaired and his injuries are healing. He was bleeding flashly, but the wound was starting to block as soon as he gave him the potion, so he must have healed completely in this short period of time.

"I have feelings for anxiety when that 'named' comes out again. But I still didn't think I wanted to give up." The North Star "also means going for the most stars in the Labyrinth Nation. But not for the Alichts."

"That's not true. No one knows about the future."

"... Japanese salariers assumed that they were company dogs. But you weren't. Alicht, you're Samurai. Samurai and Ninja are my favorites."

Georg comes looking for a handshake. So he realized I was actually carrying a knife, and Hugh whistled.

"Oh my God, isn't that really Ninja? It makes sense."

"Maybe I could have written a profession like that. unexpectedly, might have had the aptitude"

Georg made a joke and laughed. And when we shake hands hard, they make way for us.

"... Alicht, why don't you just set the name of the party? Having a street name makes it easier to reach other districts"

"Oh, I'll think about it. I'll see you somewhere."

Finish your greeting and we'll leave Orrells Mansion. Until I went out into the street and couldn't see the gate, Millet and the others on the table were dropping me off and the 'North Star' faces.

◆ ◇

A high wall separates the district, on the western side of the Eighth District. To cross that wall and go to District Seven, you have to go through the 'Close Gate'.

Some of the searchers have returned from District 7 to District 8, but they are not so busy near the gates. When we're done with the process, wait until the big enough iron door opens to the left and right, and enter the aisle to District Seven - then.

There was a woman there who looked familiar. When she was reincarnated into Labyrinth Country, she was the one guiding her.

"No, I'm surprised, in such a short period of time, you're eligible to go to District Seven. Definitely the fastest record since Labyrinth began."

She wears a hat with three braided purple hair. I used to be a culotte on my shirt, but today I'm weaving my jacket from the top. That seems to be the uniform the officials at the barracks wear - before entering here, I saw a woman dressed in the same way outside.

"You were the one who worked here, weren't you?"

"Yes. Oh, but when it comes to working, it's not the lower end, because I have so much authority. I heard you were eligible to go to District Seven, and I asked you to turn the clerk around."

When she looks at our party and smiles, she receives my license to operate. Then the string "Gate 7 Passage Permit" was displayed. Every time there are more gates you can get through, it looks like information will be added to the license page.

"But District Eight is only for beginners, so to speak, a practice district. Even if it came first in sequence there, in 7th arrondissement...... oh, what, I tried to intimidate you, but you're already ranked higher in the flying class. It's a record contribution."

"Sure, you're 294th at the moment. How many Seekers are in District Seven?

"It's 10,000. You're 294 of them, so you're already at the top. You'll also find a property that's no different from what you used in District 8."

That's a thankful story - when you get used to the comfort of living in Orells Mansion, it's hard to drop the rank of the Inn.

"Well... I'd like to talk to you a little more, but there's only so much time left to open the door."

"Okay, then we're done..."

"Yes. It's your call, but let me tell you something"

When the woman laughed at the prank, she said as she raised her hand like a guide and urged her to move on to the end of the aisle.

"Welcome, Rookie folks. This is the true beginning of the Labyrinth Nation."
