“Shit, is it another dead end?”


Though several hours have passed since we have entered the middle layer, I felt like we were going back and forth around the vicinity of the entrance .


“I’m terribly sorry . In addition, my map seems to be incorrect . ”


Amy deeply apologized to me who was getting angry . I hurriedly responded to Amy .


“No, it isn’t Amy’s fault . Maybe there are some tricks . Let’s review the map once more . ”


“Certainly . ”


I walked slightly into a small room . Because it seemed familiar as I looked around the room, I had probably came to this spot several times .


“Have we come to this room before?”


“Let me see, …yes . This room on several sheets of the map has been filled in . ”


The map was examined closely based on that . It turned out that a passage in this layer changed constantly .


“Still, it is only a wall of the passage that is inconsistent . ”


Because the connection between the adjoining passage and the room had not changed, the phenomenon was thought to be only the sudden appearance of a wall .


“Uh-huh? Does a wall really appear?”


Suddenly, such an idea occurred . For example, maybe a monster like [Nurikabe] had blocked the way? (TL:nurikabe is a jp ghost) (EN: see this for more info)


“Amy, isn’t there a blank space on the map?”


If its intention was not to misguide, perhaps it is to obstruct the way so that you struggle to reach the room of the [Guardian] .


In other words, the blank part was the room of the [Guardian] .


“Yes, there is . However, I can’t see a way to go there . ”


“For the time being, let’s get as close as possible . ”


[Owner, since we first started diving into the labyrinth it has been 2 days and 3 hours . Moreover, it’s been about six hours since we have entered the middle layer . A rest should be taken . ]


I noticed myself getting impatient when the [Book of Wisdom] pointed that out .


At the last rest, when the griffon was taken above ground was the sleep incidentally taken for several hours?


“Is that so . Thank you . Let’s take a break here for about one hour . Ruby, please serve the food . ”


The food was taken out from Ruby and distributed to everyone .


I asked the [Book of wisdom] what it thought about that matter from a little while ago .


“[Book of Wisdom] . Do you have any ideas about a monster which moves the walls of a labyrinth?”


“Hrm, leprechauns and the like might be plausible . They have no combat power, but their movements are nimble and they are mischievous . ”


A leprechaun was such a fellow that seems to have the appearance like that of a small uncle . I will remember even if I see it once .


The walls don’t move, so there might be a monster that moves the wall .


After I was well rested, I left towards the place that would be nearest to the blank section of the map .


“Is it here?”



“Yes, the other side of this wall is probably the blank part . ”

I touched the wall, but there doesn’t seem to be anything strange . *Krrrk krrk* I tried to scrape the wall with a spare sword, but it barely cut the surface, it doesn’t seem to be possible to make a hole .


Somehow, the structure of this labyrinth was made so that essential things would be protected .


With the scraping of the wall just now also, perhaps, even if a pickaxe was driven with all one’s power, would the stairway defended by the griffon be undaunted?


It was more and more like a game with non-destructive structures, but if it was possible with magic then it was certainly convenient .


Since breaking the walls and advancing through the labyrinth, the other party wouldn’t be fascinated either .


“In other words, there has to be a way to go to the blank spot . ”


The current passage that was most adjacent to the blank section, was probably about 100m (328ft) in a straight line .


“Alright, let’s divide the work and examine it . Amy and Ayla please head from the edge of the passage to the interior . ”


“Yes, I understand . ”


“I will do my best . ”


“Okay, Zir and I will examine it from the interior . ”


“M’ Lord . ”


Zir was looking towards me with a serious face .


“What’s the matter Zir?”


“I might has’t did notice a most wondrous thing . ”


“Wonderful thing?”


Zir nodded exaggeratedly and opened her mouth .


“Would it not beest agreeable to behold the other side of the wall with mine own apparition?”


It was examined with the ghost and no more than five minutes later, a moveable lever of the wall was discovered .


There were 4 or 5 small fellows on the other side of the wall . The leprechauns .


Though they stiffened in surprise they ran away in all directions at once because of the sudden opening of the wall .


When the middle layer was examined later, apparently, there were several gimmicks .


It seems the lever in the wall would be finally reached after solving them .


There was a keyhole in the wall with the lever, it appears that the correct way to capture the middle layer was to procure the key .


I moved the lever in the wall with 【Mental Force Magic】 without knowing such a thing and broke through the middle layer of the labyrinth .


“So, what is the fellow that is the [Guardian] of the middle layer?”


[Yea, it is the Stone Golem . It is a magical monster that excels in defense and attack . This is the [Guardian] of the labyrinth, certainly, there are times when they are placed in a magician’s workshop . ]


“Is it strong?”


[Certainly, it is strong . The body is made of rock which is very useful for attack and defense as said a while ago . It might be considerably hard to knock down this size of a stone golem . Of course…]


[If it moves, however…]


Because we had not cleared the middle layer with the proper route, the stone golem had not started .


I had Ruby swallow it just as it was, because it was special .


I might be able to use it for something . I still have yet to make a golem and I wasn’t able to manipulate it so I want to try various things .


There was only the room of the [Guardian] ahead of this wall . Perhaps, the big brother of Yakuu must be in the lower layer because I thoroughly searched this section of the labyrinth .


The middle layer has somewhat ended with a fizzle .


What kind of device will the lower layer have?


Is it because I’ve gotten used to games with solid tutorials?


Somehow, I think the solution for the riddle of middle layer was incomprehensible .


Perhaps, the problem was not difficult . It was just difficult to find the problem .


As for this, the maliciousness of the system was distinct from the lethal scales trap that was in the upper layer .


I descended to the lower layer while feeling fed up .


When passing through the darkness, there was a [Town] .


When on earth did I leave the labyrinth?


There was no ceiling with a blue sky spread out . Was a picture of the blue sky drawn on the wall or was it a type of magic?


When I made up my mind and stepped forward by one step, the woman who had been standing at the entrance of the town suddenly raised her voice .


“Welcome, this is the town of Selva . ”


At first, I did not think that this person called out to me . After all, she abruptly raised her voice “without looking this way” .


“Umm, are you by any chance speaking to me?”


I confirmed that there were no other people beside us in the surroundings and talked to the woman .


“Welcome, this is the town of Selva . ”


The same words just a while ago returned back .


“Oi oi, this is no time for joking . ”


Somehow or another, it seemed to have the look of a genuine game .
