10-6 Passage of Death

Satou's here When I was playing a console-RPG-like tabletop RPG, there were a lot of quests without completion deadline time I felt that it was odd as everyone would then just take those quests since they had nothing to lose

◇

"Ooh! It really feels like the genuine entrance to a labyrinth isn't it"

"Nn"

There's a doard stair beyond the opened gate, and after descending five e that's five h and ten meters wide

Looks like Pochi and Tama have remembered Seryuu's city labyrinth, they've encamped thee has skylight s on the ceiling, it's sufficiently bright It's not bright enough to read a book, but it's also not so dark you can't ithout a torch

The other side of the skylight s is probably the above ground, I can sometimes see soldiers who seem to be on patrol there

I don't knohether the passage's way isuntil it reaches the entrance of the labyrinth ahead It seee of Death] here, and the labyrinth is still a bit s on the MAP

The labyrinth city Selbira has 110000 people in total Adom army that's called Labyrinth Area Ariant fortress to the southwest The average soldier's level is 8, higher than other territory arhts, so they're probably elites Since I have a letter froeneral of this army, I have to see to it after we're done with the labyrinth exploring

The are of the labyrinth city defense is not this kingdom army, but the army of the present viceroy of Selbira, Marquis Ashinen I've had soht trouble with this person in the trade city, so I don't really want to get involved with him It should be a while before he returns here froive the house soift before he cos

Now then, the search continues

There are unexpectedly few explorers, noto the traveler's journal there are 1000 young people who come here to become explorers every year, so I think this nu that Fundamentally, they reside in the western area

There are about 1000 people who are working as baggage carriers like the little girls earlier Most of those people are working outside the labyrinth city Are they working in some kind of public construction since they failed to find job in the labyrinth?

There are 50 people in the labyrinth entrance ahead, I wonder what are they doing?

◇

Four explorers are co levels of knights are around 10, they ht be mid-level explorers or prospective newbies Looks like one of them is heavily injured

"It s~?"

Pochi and Tama quickly notice the appearance of the explorers fro path ahead

"Nana, protect Arisa and Lulu"

"Understood"

Is Mia fine I thought so, but Liza has already moved in front of Mia

"I am Jeje of 『Red Ice』!　We have an injured person! Please leave the dispute for later"

A younghis hand I thought that it was a chuuni nickname, but it seems to be their party name

I can't see the face of the injured person, but the person's armor is split widely, and blood seeps out of the shirt that's been used to wrap the wound

"Uuh, that's a really terrible wound"

"Master"

"Nn, Satou?"

Arisa and Lulu become very pale when they look at the injured person Mia asks with her eyes if it's fine for her to use inner explorer Please use this medicine if it's fine with you"

So I say, and hold out two diluted h for recovery judging fro I'll pay you back when the leader who's selling the ic cores catches up It's shameless of o ahead"

Since I originally intended to give theic potions to Jeje

"Huh? Don't tell ht Rather than that, drink it to that person fast"

"Yeah, I'm indebted"

One bottle recovers nearly 60 of the health I can't see the wound since it's wrapped in cloth, but it should be closed now

"Then, we'll take our leave"

"P, please wait We still haven't paid the cost"

"I've got those froain if fate allows"

We can't keep loitering here all day, so we part with the from behind, "There's an abnoret close to it" so I waved ht, let's head there today
