– The ninety-ninth hierarchy of the underground labyrinth of the Royal College.

The girl who stepped between its deepest depths was inadvertently lurking her eyebrows in the tragedy that was spreading there.

The first thing that came to my attention was a big hole with a big mouth at its feet.

Will it be ten meters in diameter at depth?

From there it is critical that the bottom of it is visible, and although it will be possible to come out where it fell, no one will want to fall too aggressively.

“… well, I don’t think this intense sign of death is the cause either. It’s been a whole day and this is it, so I’m really surprised.”

That’s a double word.

that the signs of death have not faded and that this great hole is not blocked.

Or if there are signs of death, this may be fading… but that is surprising.

How much was the original?

Even though it’s only a shard of power, that’s what they called an evil god.

Regarding the big hole, too, given that this is a labyrinth, nothing would surprise me about it.

The structure of the labyrinth is basically impossible to destroy.

The walls, the floors, the ceilings, all of them, no matter how much force they exert, they never go in.

The reason for this is simple, because the structure of the labyrinth is protected by the power of the concept.

They are given the concept of ‘immortality’, which differs in law, and therefore cannot be harmed by physical force.

That is why the labyrinth has nothing but to follow the directions.

Well, if you tap into everything with the power of an extraordinary class, there may be something somewhat lacking, but that’s pointless in the end, too.

For besides immortality, the labyrinth is endowed with the power of another concept.

That is the ‘regression’, and its effect will bring the labyrinth right back to its original form, no matter how much it may be damaged and destroyed.

Yes, so this big hole right now is really impossible.

Regression takes place without seconds, and it would be odd if this hole weren’t blocked by nature.

Surprise was that.

“Does that mean the power of evil gods is strong? Well, even though the main unit has already perished, it’s one of only two pillars that ran this world, so maybe that’s natural too…. No, I know that, but isn’t that a little good? I mean, I’m not going in there to compliment you to the extent that I do now.”

With that said and her lips pointed, the girl walks out along the edge of that hole.

It’s really huge and apparently about the same size as its hall.

There were several holes in the wall, and if the ceiling were close, probably the same thing would have happened there.

I don’t know if that’s lucky.

The blast area is like the back of the hall, and it seems to be getting deeper as we move on.

It still seemed pretty shallow near the entrance and it didn’t take that long to lose sight of the bottom.

“Yeah, the signs of death are getting even darker, and hey, he says if this falls, don’t be seriously stylish. I don’t know how deep it is either…. the Dean checked this place out to the end, didn’t he? Sounds a little respectful.”

With a smile on her face, the girl’s legs didn’t stop…… eventually she reached the edge.

I can’t see the bottom, and naturally I don’t even know if there’s anything ahead of me.

“Well, I knew I didn’t know anything about it. As expected…. By the way, you don’t say go down and check this out, do you?… Great – I really wondered what I would do if they told me so…. No, I do care. Anyway, it’s just after what you’ve been searching so hard for. I’m not insensitive enough to think I might have missed something there.”

With that said, it seemed like if I didn’t train no matter what I thought, but when I took my gaze off of it like I had decided to, the girl began to return to her original path.

What the hell did a small exhaled breath mean now?

“That kind of thing is something that goes through, even if you realize it. Okay?… Nevertheless, even when I ended up here, I didn’t know why I woke up. Even if it’s caused by the evil gods, there’s too much time difference -. This has been happening all these days…. If it’s not a precursor to something unpleasant or something, I hope so…. No. Well, that’s true.”

While we exchange words, the girl never stops.

Whatever you know, I don’t know, but in the end, it doesn’t make any difference what you do.

I still didn’t know if that was what it was supposed to be.

“… brother, you’re alive, aren’t you?

As a representation of its confusing mind, a grunt similar to the desire fell zero, but it never reached anywhere, just melted into the darkness of the spot and disappeared.

It was a green place.

It is a place that feels even crisp, like it has nothing to do with gloom.

But I don’t think that’s generally the case because of the people on the spot.

It was a man and a woman.

But the sweet atmosphere there is no fine dust, just suspicious in another sense.

“… I guess this is true?

“Even though you’ve been struggling around the corner to get the information, are you more suspicious now? You can’t even look at that, can you?

To a man who asks with sharp eyes and tones, the woman also speaks with a sharp gaze back.

It goes hand in hand with its righteous face, and the atmosphere the man is creating is quite something, but it doesn’t look like she cares about it.

That’s where the woman’s words were taken and the man sharpened his eyesight even further, the same.

As it was, the man looked at the woman for a while, but eventually he squealed his nose as he missed his gaze as he had lost his roots.

“Hmm… that’s the attitude, so I can’t trust you.”

“I didn’t even know you said it. It’s this way. I don’t trust the attitude of the other party. What about that attitude?

“… Huh. Sort of good… so, is it okay that this is true?

“If they say the same thing again, it doesn’t change our response. In the first place, where they said that, I don’t think you can tell this way? I just brought it here.”

The man also knew that what the woman was saying was true, and when the man snorted three times, the woman gave him it – dropping his gaze on the parchment that should have the information he wanted.

Seems like something that took a long time… but from what the man wants, it seems more true.

But when I checked its contents again, which I saw earlier, I turned my gaze to the woman instead, pushing and killing the emotions that made me want to squeeze.

“Well, the information hasn’t changed, has it?

“Shut up…. Well sure, I don’t know if this is right from what you asked. But is this really about the Forest God? I can’t believe this is so true……!

“So, I found out. It’s this one.”

“Become…!? I guess that’s what you said and brought this…!?

“That’s right, but aren’t Omei and the Elves the only ones who say there’s such a thing as a forest god in the first place? Even though it’s suspicious at that point, if they say something about it is suspicious, we don’t know.”

“Are you… willing to insult us…!?

“I’m in trouble over here, even if they just say the facts and insult me or something. Only two pillars of God exist in this world. Only a god called the Evil God and a goddess called the Goddess. Isn’t Omei the only ones who say there’s a god named Mori God?”

“That’s…!

A man got stuck in words because he knew it was true.

At least there was nothing but them elves to recognize Forest God, the God they believed in, as God.

But.

“There is indeed a Forest God…! I guess that’s why I’m looking for a way to get him to sleep again when he’s about to wake up like this…!

“No, there’s nothing here. You don’t doubt that, do you? I know there’s something called that. I’m just wondering if that’s really God.”

“You are disrespectful…!

“I don’t care what you say, I don’t have a reason to respect it myself. If you say that, it’s not Omei who’s disrespectful, is it? I’m saying put him to sleep or something, but isn’t the point just that he’s trying to seal it? I can’t believe we’re trying to do that against what we call a god… are you sure Omei and the others believe in that forest god?

“Oh, you……!

“Oh, that was bad now. That’s what I said.”

“Huh…!

The man was clenching his fist in silence as he was about to be beaten again.

Because if you hit me, you’ll admit it’s true.

analogy… even if it was right, is.

“Anyway, how to seal that forest god thing up again is what it says there. So you have to sacrifice one of Omei’s people.”

“I don’t…!

“I don’t think there’s anything to hesitate about. In the first place, I guess I meant to do that from the start anyway. That’s what Omei and the others are good at. That’s how we sealed the dragon hundreds of years ago.”

“Huh…!? You… how do you know that…!?

That was supposed to be a clan secret.

Except for some of the poles, they don’t even tell the outside how.

If anyone knew, it would be the descendants of those involved at the time.

“Is that it? Could this have been a secret? That’s a failure.”

“Answer me…! That’s…!

“Unfortunately, there’s something I have to keep a secret from you.”

“That’s what convinces me.”

“Though, that’s a failure over here. Instead, I’m going to teach you one special thing.”

“… what?

Moment after moment, anger cooled all at once because of the words.

If this woman is a good thing or something, it’s not a big deal.

However, it is often important at the same time… I stare at it with indignation.

“Hmm…… fine. Depending on what you’re talking about, I won’t ask you what you’re talking about.”

“That’s fine. Omei will never be able to ignore this.”

“Just say it. What’s a good thing?

“It’s about the witches Omei and the others are hiding.”

“Become…!?

In an impossible word, the man opened his eyes.

The impact is not an earlier ratio.

That was… because that was all someone should never know.

“Damn…… it would be hard if someone knew you were hiding the enemies of the world?

“… you”

Reflectively he reached for his hips and grabbed the knife pattern there.

What it means is obvious.

He tried to stick it out as he came up with the intention to kill it.

“Well, I’m sure it’s natural to come… but I suggest you think a little more carefully, don’t you? This is how easy it is to disclose, which means that this information is already quite well known. There’s no point in killing him, but admitting it’s true.”

“… it would be the same where I missed you, wouldn’t it?

“In that case, well, I’ll sprinkle some deceptive information. You’d be in trouble if your precious business partner was destroyed. I just think that’s the best time to buy… isn’t that enough? Look… just in time, I need a sacrifice soon? Besides, the witch is the best fit for it, so isn’t it two birds a stone?”

“… shut up”

“You can also understand the desire to keep the witch at hand, right? Simply that’s useful, and there’s a chance that something we won’t be able to help ourselves in the future. However, when it does, it means we need other sacrifices… but we can’t have royalty out there, can we? If you do, the seal will become weaker and you will probably need to sacrifice it regularly… do you want it? How about that as a judgment of the king of the clan?

“…………… shut up”

“I don’t know when it’s coming. I think we should do something about what’s in front of us now rather than prepare for disaster. Hey. I tried my best to mislead you, and I don’t know if I can mislead you. If they suck, they’ll let Omei and the others go extinct, right? I think I know what to prioritize and choose. All the lives of the clan, or…”

“Shut up……!

At the same time as he shouted, the man was poking a knife at the woman.

The tip of it approaches the woman’s throat, just a little more force, and the blade will pierce the woman’s throat.

But even so, the woman was acting as if she didn’t care about it.

Instead of avoiding it, he doesn’t even try to move off the spot, he just opens his mouth staring into the man’s eyes.

“Isn’t choosing a meaningful death happier for everyone than a pointless death? Omei has…… I think Omei only has the right and duty to choose it, to do it for you?

It’s like, I don’t mind being killed as it is – the man was pressured for a moment by something similar to that madness, and it dropped slightly back.

“… eh”

“… what an extra favor. Mine was also bad this way again. But now that we’re talking about each other, don’t you think we’re talking about your son?

“……………… Hmm”

Looking at the woman as she stared at this unchanged one, the man patrolled often, pulling the knife and punishing her.

Keep your back turned and walk out to escape the woman.

“Is that it? What are you going to do after all?

“… I paid the reward, and I got the stuff. Then we shouldn’t be needing each other anymore. I don’t have the right to let you know what we’re gonna do.”

“Is that true too…… thank you again then”

Not responding to the woman’s words, the man left.

The woman shut up and dropped it off… where she was blind to its back and shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh man, say something that’s not in my heart yet… you really can’t save me. I’m talking about pointless or meaningful, which mouth says. I never thought I’d be saved from the start. Anyway… the witch’s curse and the sub-god who kept accumulating power. Who the hell is up there? Do you mind if I…”

The result remains the same anyway.

The world remains the same.

Somewhere in the world today, someone is still dead and someone lives instead.

That’s all.

“The demon king’s resurrection failed, and the evil dragon was resurrected, but soon defeated… and the recovery of his shards of power also apparently failed. Besides, this was all interrupted by the same one, so it’s not even a joke. Well, I don’t think so this time… now what the hell is going on?”

Still, a woman… a woman who only looks like a girl, laughs.

Or the girl who only looks like a woman, let’s see.

Everything in the world.

The people who live there.

Above all, yourself.

“Now, where the hell is this death that comes down to you, cancer? I think it’s about time you came to the three of us. … but until then, will you do your best?”

So if you don’t change what you do, you lie like that.

The girl looked up at the sky and narrowed her eyes abominably… she continued to shudder her mouth distorted.
