「「We aren’t close!」」

Yue and Kaori intimately objected in synchronization They were really close with each other

By the way, the i Haji, but the kind everyone splendidly pretended to not see it

「Uu, Okaa-san you idiot!」

Kaori pointed the tip of her ultra shyness at Kaoruko However, Kaoruko gently caressed the head of the crouching Kaori like she was a little kid

「Fufu, I’m sorry Kaori But, Kaori was really cool there As expected frohter You really did your best」

「uu……Okaa-san……」

Other people atching, it was a bit eeted with blushing cheeks

「You see, Okaa-san too was fighting against the swarh, women in order to catch your Otou-san I remember in the past~」

「Okaa-san, just now, you said cockroach……hey, just now, you were going to call other woman as cockroach――」

「Your Otou-san, he was really, really popular What’skind and pa kind to any kind of cockr――woman, so Okaa-san had it hard」

「Ka, Kaoruko? You don’t need to go that far about the matter of the past I think? I think? We are in front of Kaori, look, there are also everyone else, right?」

「Otou-san More importantly than that, Okaa-san called other woman cockroach……」

It seeh various things To like rivers, while Kaori-san was put off that her mother almost called other woinal Hannya, the current user of Yaksha stan○――Shirasaki Kaoruko

Seeing from this, indeed, it seemed that Kaori had really inherited her blood As expected, Kaori didn’t call other woman cockroach, but that must be because luckily she was similar with Toet too big, it looked like it would becoht that as expected, this wasn’t so to be done in front of the entrance He forcefully carried Yue like a sack when she was going to invite even ure of Shizuku rejoicing fro froed everyone to enter inside Orcus Great Labyrinth

「Hou, it’s quite developed It looks exactly like a gareen light stone Haji for the place as it is」

Shuu and Sureat interest

Toe that the place would be darker and eerie like a tunnel They see that the path was unexpectedly developed

「Thedeal But raw ree With the level of the monsters here, not just low level adventurers, even civilian can e somehow, so there is also a lot of demand That’s why this area is properly developed」

Hajiuide was added further by Kaori

「Conversely, if you come out to a place like a natural cave that isn’t developed, it erous for people who aren’t coh……」 there while pulling out Donner with really natural er even without really taking ainetically, even so the firing sound was loud and echoed greatly due to the location

The bursting sound that aze to the front in surprise

Over there, there was a monster like mice with its head bloay It was a ratman

「Uh」

「……」

Kaoruko covered her mouth with her hand while Akiko went a bit pale It seeashi family were calm, but even Tomoichi’s expression looked tense

Even more ratmen crawled out from the corner ahead They shrieked up ‘KIIIIIII’ which sounded harsh on the ear and their dark red eyes glinted fiercely with killing intent

Clear killing intent and hostility rode on the wave of air that descended on the group Kaoruko i like weak in the knees To her with pale expression

Beside Hajiuessed what her gaze was saying, but he sroup of rathly thirteen

「O, oi, Hajiht isn’t it?」

Shuu and Suitation Haji sounds burst out consecutively It was precisely five shots One shot would open wind hole on several of the rat bullets would ricochet and dug into the re, no, it was truly an instant killing

Shuu and Sumire, and then Toun fired froht fro would still be presumptuous It was a difference of status between both sides that was exactly like an elephant sto that

Hajime made his “treasure warehouse” shined and su and casually perfor around The bullets were loaded into the cylinder like a joke, and just right after they perceived that the gun was put into a holster with flowing motion

「Just as you saw, even if we are in the abyss, there isn’t anything here that is a ainst me And just like Kaori said, I hope you all would refrain fro on your own because of curiosity but……well, Yue and others are also here so it’s fine even if you think that there would be no danger here」

Tio and Shia stayed in the rear, while Kaori, Shizuku and Aiko stayed at the left and right As long as they were staying in thewould happen even in the worst case

There was one problem The reason why the ic or turned into dust by Kaori’s disintegration, but dealt with gunshot that left behind reraphic in a sense

「So, how is it? As expected, should we just go directly to Oscar’s hideout?」

That question was especially directed to Kaoruko and Akiko

They et fro a living thing burst out right before thee of the past they would see froruesoht once ht now

This was a consideration froreatly shaken Kaoruko and Akiko were proposed that the two of them took a rest at the hideout ahead of them

It seemed that Sumire and Shuu didn’t plan to pull back They intended to follow after the track of Hajime till the end

Kaoruko looked at Toaze even while he was still a bit pale Kaoruko looked at Akiko next Aiko orried about her and grasped her hand, but she too took a firave a strong nod

After Kaoruko saw that, she looked like she had resolved herself

「No, we are fine Hajione through ……I too want to know the path hter had followed」

「……I understand But, please don’t force yourself The chance isn’t just this time If it’s necessary, I’ll be available anyti her sed with a troubled expression in resignation

After the parents cleared the first barrier, he advanced while talking about the memory of that time

Midway a monster that looked like a cute raccoon cas hesitated a bit This monster almost had no co with its adorable appearance and then injected a powerful paralysis poison with a bite And so, there was no danger even if she hesitated but……

「Haa, I’ood with this type――」

「Ei-」

Supan-, a pleasant sound resounded The raccoon-chan cried 「Kukyu?」 and its head flew

The perpetrator was Kaori-san

Kaori turned around while behind a fountain of blood spurted out froht? Leave this kind of thing to me!」

「……Yes」

The e on the floor was looking at Shizuku hatefully

Shizuku replied with a faraway look Surely ahead of her gaze there was the Kaori of the past as gentle and unrelated with violence

Kaori papa and Kaorithe sa their past daughter in nostalgia

After that, Shuuzou and others said 「I can’t endure any real battle under their daughter’s supervision After a while, the group finally arrived at floor 20 that connected to the floor 65

The first thing they did was taking care of several Rock Mount that were ca win hole on their body, splattering the them into ash

「I think you can call this place the fated crossroad It has been reht now but, at that spot there was a crystal with beautiful appearance called Glanz crystal, but it was a trap that teleported the victims to floor 65」

To Hajime’s explanation

「……I heard The kid that once killed Kaori, activated that trap right?」

「Yes, that’s right That guy had feeling for Kaori, and because of that he reached out for that Glanz crystal for her」

「I wonder, ould happen if that time I didn’t show interest to that crystal……」

Would their fate change? Kaori showed a complicated expression

Hajime kindly patted the head of Kaori as like that while speaking

「It wouldn’t change anything He didn’t act because of one cause ……The target of his scorn which was a virtually incoirl he liked The days in the school and then everything that happened since co intent inside that guy」

And then, he literally “succumbed to evil temptation” He, the huth to oppose that devil’s whisper

「There is no need to worry about it, both in good 」

Haji tone toward To on their face fro the deed of the classone I killed hiuy or that guy’s family Even if there is a need to worry, it will be et concerned on their own about ot no plan to feel burdened about it though’, Hajime read the atmosphere and didn’t say that

It was a harshaway others, but it was clear that those words were filled with thoughtfulness toward Tomoichi and others Tohtly

Even so, perhaps in order to change the atloomy, our Yue-sama took a step forward

「……Don’t worry, Kaori It’s just as Hajie」

「Yue……」

The s kindness made Kaori’s expression broke out into a se Hajime would encounter me without a doubt, and inevitably rejected Kaori」

「Yue?」

Yue-sama threw out her chest and snorted ‘fufuh’

「……Because, Hajime said it Even if he returned to the past, 『I’ll follow the same path no matter how many times』『I want to hed while her hand elegantly covered herwhile blood vein pulsed on her forehead

「……Yes, Haji Kaori behind! No ed out while grazing Yue’s head The thrust of a large sword that was clad with disintegration ic was unleashed!

If Yue didn’t immediately bent down, she would becoot slightly shaved, perhaps」

「Chih, I「Even though the experience of h……」 while her eyes becahtly tearful It seeot shot by Hajiet angry fro the truth!」

「Yue is the bad one! Besides, I’e year! Not like Yue! Eh, coht now?」

「……Die」

「Co that was like breathing to them

Certainly the atmosphere had returned to nor already

While the tere grappling with each other, they

「If the trap didn’t activate, various things would absolutely change I’e! No matter what kind of path it was, it’s destiny that Hajime would meet me!」

「The, then, it will be fine if I lock him up! Like in the inn or in the palace……anyway I’ll just lock him up! If it’s Hajime-kun at that time even I can lock him up anyway!」

「……Confine is for Haji confined by the dangerous Kaori, betterhi to-, confine him!」

‘Confine, confine! Confine Hajirappled with each other while repeatedly yelling that

Hajime opened hisvoice

「The pastabout Hiyama or whatever, the iht beside oose buhtly tre Unexpectedly it was Tomoichi

「Hajime-kun It’s fine, in the end love in I too, in the past I also got confined by Kaoruko」

‘This uncle, he suddenly revealed soeous’……not just Haji with each other also thought that It was only Kaoruko who for so 「Geez dear, don’t mention that」

「You see, at first she would only co wife, but during that ti inside my roo together……」

「E, err, To back at the past while slightly treradually vanishing fro out, even though we had different class in the university, when I noticed she would be waiting forand look after your father for me! Soetting blank

「Kaoruko would do all of the shopping, so there wouldn’t be any need for o out other than for a date But, even that date would gradually turn into things like watching ether, things like that……」

「Kaoruko-san! Your husband’s eyes are dead you know!?」

Kaoruko-san was blushing hearing her husband talking about their life before

「I wonder when did it happen Once I went out for drinking with the girls in the university, then the next day, Kaoruko told o to the university any to me It will be fine if Tomoichi-san stays forever in this rooerous one was actually your irl huh! God dammit!」

‘To hiasped and returned to his senses, then he looked at his daughter as stillracket about ‘confineet bad I’ll give you some advice」

「……Yes, thank you very much, Tomoichi-san If it feels like Kaori finally become like “that”, at that tiht now they looked like a happy husband and wife, so surely Tomoichi had handled the past yandere Kaoruko well

In Hajime’s view, for the first time To Hajihtly twitching, To

The two of theed a powerful handshake with each other

Hajime and Tomoichi It was the instant where the distance of their heart shrunk by a little

After that, Myuu as actually having fun with following the track of the Hajiroup didn’t htest due to their quarrel

She caer forward and said 「Myuu know the two of you are really close with each other nano! That’s why please be a bit more quiet nano! Both Yue-oneechan and Kaori-oneechan are bad nano!」

To think that a five years old little girl would caution them with 「Let’s be quiet」……

Yue and Kaori ere told that they were bad got depressed and sat with seiza posture before Myuu, and they apologized 「……Sorry that Kaori is too high spirited」「Forgive Yue for her noisiness」

Like that, the group that pulled the the gate, toward the destination of that trap
