Chapter 28

Yume Neiji

“Haaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Facing the wall on the right side of the labyrinth entrance, I let out a battle cry and visualized Burial Power gathering in my right fist. As intended, my hand began to be wrapped in a wavering, pale-white wave-like aura. The momentum surged. It was my first time using this technique, but I was under the impression it was basically just a punch. It didn’t seem like a skill that required much thinking.

I had already placed my staff on the ground. I lowered my stance, steadied my breathing, closed my eyes, and moved into what I assumed was a proper straight-punch form. For the record, I’ve never been in a fight before, so everything I’m doing is based purely on manga impressions.

So honestly, I had no idea if this stance was even correct.

Well, this is a “might as well try” situation anyway. If it worked, I’d just call it luck.

Alright then—here I go!

“Burial Fist!! Take thiiiis!!”

Kyiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!

My likely clumsy [Burial Fist] slammed violently into the wall made of Deep-Sea Super Ore! A sharp metallic screech echoed through the labyrinth, like steel crashing against steel!

And yet—

The only thing impressive about it had been the sound. When I checked the spot I had hit, there wasn’t even a scratch on the wall.

As expected, it seemed I had overestimated things.

> Hey lol

> Why are you punching the wall lmao

> Don’t tell me you’re trying to destroy the labyrinth itself?

> Pure muscle brain energy lol

> Like that was ever going to work

> Surprisingly, that looked pretty cool though!

> If that hit a monster it would’ve turned them to dust

> The sound was so loud I thought it actually worked

> Oi oi. If you hit a wall that hard…

“Daishi-san, are your hands okay?”

“Hm? Just a little numb, I’m fine!”

…Actually, it hurt like crazy.

But it wasn’t the kind of sharp, bone-breaking pain I had expected. More like a deep, numbing shock running through my fist.

“You can’t just try to destroy a labyrinth itself like that! There’s no way that’s possible!”

“S-sorry…”

“And if you hit a wall that hard, of course you’re going to take damage too, right? Don’t tell me you were planning to just have me heal you a little even if you got injured?”

Uh-, she saw right through me.

“I-I’m using all kinds of skills too, and my MP is going down, you know! At least think about it fir—wait, huh?”

Satsuki-chan, who had been scolding me, suddenly froze mid-sentence. Her gaze was fixed on the wall I had just punched.

The side of the labyrinth entrance wall.

> Huh?

> Wait… is that a crack?

> Oi oi lol

> No way…

> You actually cracked Deep-Sea Super Ore with a punch?? lol

> Awesome!

> If you keep hitting it, maybe it’ll break?

> Looks like our Daishi did it again…

Eh? Seriously?

Indeed, looking at the spot everyone’s eyes were glued to, I could see the tiny cracks. But what I had envisioned was “shattering.” A mere crack won’t do anything. Even if I keep hitting it to destroy it, it’s too inefficient, so I guess it didn’t work out this time…

Hmm?

The tiny crack started to spread across the impossibly hard wall. And now the crack is spreading at an alarming speed. And the way it’s spreading is unsettling.

It almost looked like a pattern—like the crest of some noble family—drawing itself out in perfectly ordered sequences across the surface.

> The cracks are…

> The “crackle” won’t stop

> How far is this going to spread?

> It looks both geometric and chaotic…

> Whoa! It’s already reached the entire side wall!

> W-w-w-w-wait a second!

> No way LOL

> What is even happening lol

As if answering the screams of over 150,000 viewers, the beautifully formed cracks continued to spread at an unbelievable speed. The sound of crackling and snapping began echoing from everywhere at once.

“D-Daishi-san! Over here too!”

“Huh? Why?!”

“The far end as well!”

“W-what the heck?!”

I had punched the wall just to the right of the entrance. And yet, for some reason, the same crest-like fractures had spread to the left wall too. And even to the wall at the very back of the passage.

They were everywhere.

And beyond those shattered surfaces—

From deep within the cracks, a different kind of light began to leak out. Not the glow of the deep-sea super-ore. Something else entirely. It poured out in bursts, converging into razor-straight beams of intense light that tore through the labyrinth like lashing streaks of energy.

“Heyyyy! What is this?! What’s going on?!”

“W-w-w-what the—!”

Even I, the one who caused it, was completely panicking.

I mean—who would expect something like this just from punching a wall?!

> Whoa—

> A storm of raging beams lol

> Isn’t this basically a space war??

> Walls and ceilings are getting wiped out one after another…

> Melting, collapsing, burning…

> I swear I can hear monster screams mixed in LOL

> What even is this scene lol

> This is basically a manga

> I’ve lost words lol

The comment section was racing past like it was moving at the speed of light, but even through the chaos, one thing was clear—

Everyone was stunned.

“Well… yeah.”

I felt the same way. All I could do was stare blankly at it. No words came to mind that could properly describe what I was seeing.

If I had to force it into a single phrase it’s—

“It’s total chaos.”

Satsuki-chan said it for me instead.

Yeah. That was exactly it.

While I was thinking that, the beams continued to rampage through the walls and ceiling, gradually opening up the entire field of view.

It all took barely ten seconds. By the time it was mostly over, the light finally began to fade. And when it did, what was revealed was a vast, hollow space—like an empty shell left behind.

Looking up, the ceiling was riddled with holes in places. Looking down, the floor was nothing but rubble—what used to be walls of deep-sea super-ore reduced to shattered debris. And here and there were scorched remains of what looked like monsters. Broken trap mechanisms were scattered among the ruins as well.

The place looked like the aftermath of a ground battle so devastating that it had erased everything in its path.

I stared at the scene… and eventually stopped trying to think about it.

“…Well.”

“Guess we’ll call it a win… somehow.”

Satsuki-chan felt the same.

“For now…”

“Let’s keep moving shall we?”

With an indescribable sense of despair hanging over us, Satsuki and I made our way over the rubble and piles of corpses, heading towards the area where we believed there must be an exit.

Chapter 27

Yume Neiji

As I descended the spiral staircase leading down to the second basement floor of the West Tokyo Fourth Beginner Dungeon, I found myself recalling something the time-space rabbit had said on our way out.

“I’m sure you already realize this, but something is seriously wrong with the West Tokyo Fourth Beginner Dungeon right now. Even I have no idea what’s waiting ahead. You should proceed with caution.”

Even I had already noticed that something about this dungeon was off. There was no way this was a beginner-friendly dungeon.

It wasn’t quite on the same level as the Nether Class dungeon we had just been in, but it was definitely safer to assume that it had shifted into a difficulty range comparable to high-tier dungeons.

Still… “be careful,” huh. Well, I guess that just means “don’t get careless.” Maybe it was a warning that, despite being a beginner myself, I had already become too strong—that I shouldn’t let that make me complacent.

In dungeon exploration, it wasn’t just about stats or skill power.

That was the real thrill of it.

Alright. Let’s stay focused and proceed with the next part of the dungeon raid.

“This is… the second basement floor, huh…”

“Hey, do you see anything? Medusas? Giant-type monsters? Anything like that?”

“….”

Satsuki-chan showed none of the energy she had when we descended to the first floor. All the way here, she had been nervously pinching the edge of the back of my robe, following closely behind as she made her way down.

So it was me—and the viewers—who ended up checking the room’s situation first.

Maybe she really did lose some confidence after what happened in the Nether Class dungeon.

Well, personally… I actually prefer her like this. Honestly, the overly hyped, aggressive streamer version of Satsuki-chan is a bit hard to deal with.

By the way, her own stream still hadn’t come back online. Apparently, she was still dealing with equipment issues and couldn’t broadcast yet. Because of that, her viewers were still flocking to my channel instead. Right now, my stream had roughly 130,000 viewers total, all of them eagerly anticipating what would come next.

> Huh?

> This is…

> It kind of feels artificial.

> There’s no presence of monsters.

> A maze?

> Feels like a labyrinth zone.

> Yeah, labyrinth zones do pop up sometimes.

> Hard to tell which dungeon this is just from the visuals.

> There are different kinds of labyrinths too.

> If you examine the wall material, you might be able to identify it.

> Satsuki might be good at that, right?

> If she has an analysis skill, she could probably figure it out.

A maze, huh. So there are things like that too.

Now that I think about it, the atmosphere does vaguely resemble those amusement park attractions I used to go to as a kid with my parents. But the walls here weren’t made of wood. They were a deep green color—hard surfaces engraved with vine-like markings.

Ahead, the passage ended in a dead end, but I could see hallways branching left and right even from here. There were no torches installed, yet the entire space was surprisingly bright. The engraved patterns themselves seemed to glow faintly, likely serving as the light source.

“It’s fine, Satsuki-chan. There aren’t any monsters or anything. The viewers are saying it might be a labyrinth zone.”

“Labyrinth Zone…?”

Saying that, Satsuki-chan peeked her face out from behind me and carefully scanned the room. After confirming that there were no monsters present, she stepped past me and began inspecting the walls intently.

“Labyrinth zones are fairly common, but there are many types. The danger level changes drastically depending on the specific dungeon.”

“Yeah, the viewers were saying something like that too.”

“I’ll run a check.”

With that, she muttered “Analysis” and examined the material of the wall.

She really was incredibly capable.

Her title, [Generalist], suited her perfectly.

“…The material… Deep-Sea Super Ore… seriously?”

“Deep-Sea Super Ore?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but I’ve heard of it. This is an ultra-hard stone exclusive to Abyss-Class dungeons…”

“Oh. Wait, so that means this labyrinth is…”

“…Yeah. Probably.”

“…!”

> Here we go again…

> So it’s an Abyss-class labyrinth?

> Is there anyone even exploring something like that?

> You can’t even reach Abyss-Class normally, right?

> No one goes there.

> There’s barely any information on it.

> Someone look it up!

> It’s confirmed in the 10th basement floor of an Abyss-Class dungeon.

> Only a handful of challengers exist, but one explorer cleared part of it.

> Ah, that guy—the Demon Knight.

> He never submits reports to the Guild HQ, so there’s almost no info on him.

> But he still hasn’t reached the final floor, right?

> Don’t know either.

> Also, everyone who tried except that Demon Knight never came back.

With 130,000 viewers, there were always a few people who happened to know something.

As expected… this was another “this is bad” situation.

“This is likely a Great Labyrinth. And one with an almost 100% mortality rate…”

A maze meant getting stuck looping forever, never finding an exit. Or maybe it was packed with lethal traps designed to kill intruders. Or since it was “Abyss,” maybe unimaginable deep-sea monsters would attack from the darkness.

…Yeah. All of them sounded like a pain. I wondered if there was any way to solve this in one clean move.

Ah!

I wasn’t sure if it would work, but I had just thought of a secret strategy I wanted to try! At this point, I felt like I might actually be able to pull it off.

“First, we should mark our path properly, conserve stamina, and proceed slowly and carefully—wait, Daishi-san. What are you doing?”

“Huh?”

“Why are you suddenly taking a stance facing the wall?”

“Ah, well… there’s something I want to try…”

Satsuki-chan’s sharp voice cut in as I placed my staff down and slowly lowered my stance toward the wall.

What am I about to attempt? It’s a reckless, unprecedented shortcut strategy: using the newly learned skill, [Burial Fist] to smash through the ultra-hard wall, carve a straight path forward, and force our way through the labyrinth.

Walking, Chapter 284: An apology from the Baron

Yume Neiji

Though we woke with a lingering heaviness in our hearts, what awaited us only made it worse.

“Um… there’s a messenger here from the baron.”

The innkeeper’s wife informed us of the visitor, her expression apologetic. Sue and I exchanged a glance, both of us letting out a weary sigh before making our way to the entrance.

We had a bad experience before in another barony—when the lord there had gone out of control. Remembering that, even Shiro and the others seemed visibly deflated.

“His lordship has sent word, expressing his apologies for last night. He wishes to offer them to you in person, and humbly asks that you come to the estate.”

Oh… this time, the response was surprisingly reasonable.

The man, who looked very much like a butler, spoke to me with a sincere, apologetic tone.

Seeing no immediate cause for concern, we accepted and climbed into the carriage sent to fetch us.

“My people have committed a grave discourtesy within my domain.”

By the time we arrived at the estate and were shown into a reception room, a refined, dignified baron was already waiting.

The moment we entered, he bowed his head and apologized.

Caught off guard, we could only listen as he began to explain the situation.

“To tell you the truth, that establishment is, in name, directly managed by my baronial house. I had heard some time ago that its operations had become questionable. Then, last night, one of my domain’s soldiers happened to be present and reported the matter to me immediately.”

Right. For a baron’s own establishment to behave like that—there was no way it could be overlooked. Perhaps he understood that better than anyone, because the baron’s expression was deeply troubled.

“I have ordered the shop to be closed for one week. During that time, it will undergo a complete review from the ground up—cleaning, equipment maintenance, everything. As for the head of the kitchen who was responsible for the dishonest cooking, and the owner who condoned it, they have both been arrested. Upon investigation, we also uncovered collusion with merchants, including evidence of bribery.”

Whoa. Not only had they been serving terrible food to first-time customers, but there had been bribery involved as well.

At that point, there was really nothing left for us to say.

“I bear responsibility as well, for failing to uncover the corruption in my own establishment until now. I offer you my sincerest apologies.”

“My lord, I accept your apology—so please, raise your head. We’re truly fine now.”

“Thank you.”

With the matter of the baron’s apology settled, we turned to a more relaxed conversation.

“I’ve heard that it’s currently the harvest season for summer vegetables in your domain, my lord.”

“Indeed. Agriculture is the backbone of my lands, and we are right in the peak of harvest. We also grow some autumn crops as well.”

So they even supply vegetables to neighboring territories—essentially a major center of food production.

“Ah, yes. This may not fully make up for my earlier apology, but please, allow me to offer you some of our produce. They are quite delicious, even eaten raw.”

“““Yay!”””

Thanks to the baron’s generosity, we ended up receiving a large quantity of fresh vegetables.

Even without going into town, we now had more than enough produce, and Shiro and the others were absolutely delighted.

And just like that, the trouble in the baron’s domain was peacefully resolved.

That evening, I prepared a summer vegetable curry, making full use of the ingredients we’d been given.Of course, everyone ate their fill—and then some—leaving nothing behind.

Walking, Chapter 283: A terrible dinner

Yume Neiji

“Hey, hey—are you really an adventurer with a title? You don’t look like anything more than some rookie dragging a kid along.”

Right on cue, a man who looked like the one in charge of the kitchen strolled out, a smug grin plastered across his face. Apparently, he’d already decided we were nothing but ordinary adventurers.

Without a word, Ao slammed a medal down onto the table.

“This— It’s the champion’s medal from the martial arts tournament! It even bears the crest of the Margrave’s house!”

The kitchen manager picked it up with trembling hands, turning it over again and again as he inspected both sides closely.

Meanwhile, I exchanged a glance with Sue, then reached into my item box and pulled out another medal.

“This one was entrusted to me by the Eastern Margrave.”

“W–what?!”

The kitchen manager stared at the medal I had produced—the one entrusted to me by the Eastern Margrave—his face draining of all color. Then, without another word, he hurried off into the back of the shop.

“Let’s just pay and leave. I’ll make something simple when we get home.”

““““Yey!””””

We had no desire to remain in this place a second longer, so we set some money on the table and made to leave.

Just then, the kitchen manager returned, this time with a slightly overweight man in tow.

He looked like the owner, but there was something about his expression—greedy, calculating.

“My deepest apologies for the trouble regarding your meal. As compensation, we will prepare a replacement dish for you—”

“No, that won’t be necessary. We’ll be going.”

“W-w-w-wait just a moment!”

As we tried to leave without another thought, the man who seemed to be the owner grabbed my arm. He probably thought we were about to cause some kind of trouble.

“I have no intention of causing any trouble for this establishment. Everyone else seems to be enjoying themselves—and it would probably be better if we weren’t here.”

“H-hey, wait!”

The man who seemed to be the owner called out from behind us, trying to stop us, but we ignored him and headed straight back to the inn.

What a disastrous dinner.

“We don’t have much time, so I’ll whip something up quickly.”

““““Got it!””””

Back in our room, I prepared a simple stir-fried vegetable dish along with fish dumpling soup.

Shiro and the others, Sue included, all ate with clear delight, and seeing that put me at ease.We are planning to explore tomorrow. But thinking about the people we ran into at that diner today made me hesitate a little.

Chapter 26

Yume Neiji

“Um… my time-space skill didn’t quite activate properly.”

Facing the time-traveling rabbit’s careless excuse, both Satsuki-chan and I were struggling desperately to keep our anger in check.

If you’re going to make excuses, at least try a little harder!

“After sending us to such a dangerous place without our permission, you really think that’s acceptable?”

“I already apologized, haven’t I?”

“That’s not something you can fix with an apology!”

Satsuki-chan raised her voice slightly, frustration slipping through.

I couldn’t really blame her.

Well… she wasn’t exactly one to talk, either.

“I’ll give you a reward. So please, let it go.”

The rabbit was at least willing to offer compensation of its own accord. Seeing that, Satsuki-chan appeared to decide not to push the matter any further.

> Time-space rabbit is getting cornered lol

> Breaking the rules is not okay, you know.

> The way they came back from [Return] was insane.

> It was whirring and dizzying.

> Didn’t that just bend space-time?

> That must burn through MP like crazy.

> The ‘distortion’ was on another level!

> So, what’s the treasure?

> Honestly, they should be getting something good as a reward, right?

> They made it back from the Nether Class Dungeon, so it better be worth it.

> Please don’t give them another liver lol

Yeah. Even if I’ve gotten stronger, I really hope I don’t have to deal with another liver again.

If possible, I want something rare—something that looks cool just by seeing it, something that gets you hyped.

By the way, the number of viewers is now around 110,000. It’s already an absurd number, far beyond what I can really comprehend, though the rate of increase does feel like it’s starting to stabilize a bit.

“Just a moment.”

The boss… no, the time-space rabbit said that as it walked over to a wooden crate placed in the corner of the room. It opened one of the boxes and presented the treasure inside to us.

Th-this is…

“Huh? Wait, don’t tell me that’s…”

“Twilight Robe. It’s the real deal.”

What the time-space rabbit brought out was a neatly folded robe—jet black, but adorned with intricate, complex patterns woven into the fabric. It was nothing like the cheap hoodie I was currently wearing. The material was clearly high-grade, and it almost felt like some kind of strange aura was emanating from the robe itself.

“Satsuki-chan, this outfit… is it—”

“If it’s genuine, then among robes usable by clerics, it’s top-tier equipment.”

I see. So it’s that impressive.

> Twilight Robe is way too generous lol

> Is that really legit?

> That’s an ultra-rare defensive gear

> It has lots of resistance boosts, like immunity to curses, instant death, and dark attribute attacks

> It basically blocks most things except physical attacks

> There are no stat boosts though

> But the advantages are way bigger

The comment section was moving at a fairly relaxed pace now, so I was able to read quite a lot of it.

Apparently, that armor was an incredibly rare and high-performance piece. Honestly, the viewers really are knowledgeable. They seem to know everything about everything.

“Maybe you should try using [Clairvoyance] to check it?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“Clairvoyance?”

A question mark floated above the space-time rabbit’s head.

“Oh, it’s basically the same as the [Clairvoyance] skill. I can use it from the start.”

“…Just what are you?”

Hearing that, the rabbit muttered to itself again.

Is this armor actually fake?

A faint sense of unease crept in.

I decided to check it immediately.

―――――――――――

【Twilight Robe】 (Ultra Rare)

Attribute Resistance:

[Fire Damage Halved] [Ice Damage Halved] [Earth Damage Halved] [Wind Damage Halved] [Darkness Immunity]

Status Ailment Resistance:

[Paralysis Damage Halved] [Sleep Damage Halved] [Charm Damage Halved] [Petrification Immunity] [Confusion Immunity] [Instant Death Immunity]

Stat Bonus:

None

―――――――――――

Oh. That’s amazing—so many “half damage” and “immunity” effects stacked together! This is definitely the real thing!

“Well? How is it?”

“Fire damage halved, ice damage halved, darkness immunity, instant death immunity… things like that.”

“I see… so it’s genuine. Want to try it on right away?”

“Yeah. I wonder if it’ll fit…”

I hoped it wouldn’t end up looking awkward or embarrassing.

“Like clothes make the man, huh?”

“That’s definitely not a compliment.”

“No, no. It suits you very well.”

I took off my starter robe and changed into the new equipment—the [Twilight Robe].

It fit perfectly. The texture is incredibly comfortable too, like it was gently clinging to my skin.

Satsuki-chan didn’t seem impressed, but the rabbit praised it.

> Eh? It suits you really well

> Try lifting your bangs a little!

> You might be my type

> You have quite a handsome face

> There’s no way our Daishi is a good-looking guy

> I won’t allow him to be considered good-looking

> I hope he gets flamed!!

> Jealous

> Cutie

> Hey Daishi-kun, do you have a girlfriend?

“…Huh?”

Hn? It seems there are quite a few female viewers.

When I lifted my bangs and showed my face to the camera, surprisingly many people seemed happy. I’ve never been complimented on my appearance much in my life, so I was genuinely pleased.

However, it seems to be unpopular with male viewers.

“Why are you smirking like that?”

“No, it’s just… the viewers are saying it suits me, so…”

“You should be careful not to get carried away. More importantly… where’s my treasure? Rabbit.”

“Calling it ‘more importantly’ is harsh.”

Still, that was true.

From my perspective, this was pretty important.

“There isn’t one. I mean, you didn’t really do anything, did you?”

I don’t know how he knew, but he was absolutely right.

“W-well! I mean, I did support healing and stuff…”

“You weren’t directly involved in combat, though. And I said I’d only give one reward—to the one who contributed the most.”

“T-that’s so unfair!”

Well, I guess that makes sense. He wouldn’t just hand out two rewards.

“Anyway, can we wrap this up? Ever since I sent you into the Nether Class Dungeon, my time-space skill has been acting up badly. I need to investigate it, so I’d appreciate it if you moved on to the next layer quickly.”

In other words—he was basically telling us to leave.

The rabbit pointed its staff at the exit and waved it up and down repeatedly, signaling “hurry up.”

Well, I already got what I came for, so I didn’t have any more business here. And what it said about the time-space skill malfunctioning… that did seem to be true. I couldn’t exactly say “too bad,” but I did feel a bit of sympathy.

“Alright then, let’s go to the next one, Satsuki-chan!”

“Waaa…. my reward…”

Satsuki-chan was still full of regret.

Chapter 25

Yume Neiji

“What do you mean by that, Mina?”

“I mean exactly what I said, Satsuki.”

A cute-type girl and a beautiful-type girl were talking seriously.

Satsuki-chan had mentioned that she and Mina were like an inseparable pair, but what exactly was their relationship? Childhood friends, maybe? I’d have to ask later.

Still… when she says I’m “not human,” does she mean I’m just superhuman? Or… is it because I ate that thing of the Nether King’s, and she’s thinking, “This guy isn’t human anymore!”?

Comments flooded the stream:

> There’s no way he’s a normal middle-aged guy now.

> Stats-wise, he might already be SS-class.

> He’s still level 10, right?

> And a beginner, too.

> This doesn’t even feel like a bug.

> Quitting being human, huh?

> Mina-chan is seriously beautiful.

> Like an actress.

> It’s my first time seeing Slei’s party live. They don’t stream.

> Not being human explains a lot.

> Then what the hell is he?

> Demon Daishi!!

Hey, hey… don’t go calling me a demon in the middle of all these comments.

That’s rude. I am human!

For thirty-seven years now, I’ve been living a fairly ordinary life… even if I’m single. I’m a little on the introverted side, not many friends or girlfriends, but until recently, I was just a regular salaryman.

Just an ordinary, average guy.

“There’s no proof, but… it’s a gut feeling. I agree with Satsuki. You should probably get a thorough checkup at Guild Headquarters.”

“Nothing scares me more than Mina’s intuition…”

Her intuition? That means it’s usually right?

I’ve lived this long and… nothing particularly strange has ever happened to me, I think.

Anyway.

Mina-san is an SS-class adventurer and a Grand Cleric, right? I wonder what her stats look like.

I’m super curious.

A little guilty, but I think I can sneak a look with [Clairvoyance].

Now, while she’s talking to Satsuki-chan, I’ll take my chance.

Let’s see… what are Mina-san’s abilities like…?

―――――――――――
Name: Kisaragi Mina
Class: Grand Cleric
Level: 71
HP: 525 / 525
MP: 149 / 712
Strength: 211
Vitality: 309
Agility: 342
Intelligence: 671
Magic: 690
Skills:【Revive (LV1)】,【Holy Pillar (LV3)】,【Light Wall (LV4)】,【Weaken (LV3)】,【Enhance (LV3)】,【Purify (LV5)】,【Heal (LV5)】…
Titles: 【SS-class Adventurer】,【High Priestess of the Cathedral】,【Apostle of Salvation】,【Blessing of the Valkyrie】…
Previous Life: Saint Lilliana
―――――――――――

Her stats are insane.

Her level alone is higher than anything I’ve seen by a mile, and her MP and Magic stats? Off the charts. No wonder she’s feared even among SS-class adventurers.

So this is what SS-class stats look like. Well, I guess there’s probably some variation between individuals. I wonder what the actual requirements are to earn the SS-class title.

It can’t be just raw stats, right? Maybe the types of titles you earn also factor in.

I’ll have to ask Satsuki-chan about that later.

Still…

The amount of information I can see about her skills and titles feels way more detailed than last time when I scanned Satsuki. Must be because [Clairvoyance] leveled up. I can even see her past life.

Saint Lilliana? Who is that?

“Well, we’ll head out for now. Our healing items are all gone.”

“Wait… you’re leaving already?”

I’d just gotten to know these SS-class adventurers, and it felt a little disappointing. I wanted to talk with them a bit more.

“Yes. We’ll train and come back later. Even if we go further now, we probably won’t be able to clear it.”

“I see… that’s too bad.”

“By the way, you two were only sent here by the Time-Space Rabbit for ten minutes, right?”

“That’s right. You heard it from Satsuki-chan, huh?”

“Wait… hasn’t it already been ten minutes?”

Oh, right!

So much has happened that I totally forgot!

“Satsuki-chan!”

“Yes, it’s been about twenty minutes already.”

“That… that damn boss rabbit!”

“Boss rabbit??”

“Ah, no, it’s nothing. Forget I said anything.”

I got a little emotional and accidentally revealed the name I’d given the time-space rabbit.

So embarrassing.

Comments were going wild:

> Boss… Was it from his salaryman days?

> Was that rabbit supposed to look like his old boss?

> Did they really have such an annoying face?

> No wonder he quit.

> Power harassment maybe?

> Surely the rabbit never broke the rules?

> Was it just being mean because they didn’t think we’d clear it?

> There must be some reason behind this…

Whatever the reason, I just want the rules to be respected.

Honestly… that rabbit really did feel just like that terrible old boss.

“Can’t be helped. Satsuki-chan, let’s use [Return] to head back.”

“Yes. But we absolutely need to collect our rewards!”

“Of course. We’ve met the conditions, so we’ll definitely get them!”

If it didn’t give us the reward…I’ll have to roast it alive.

No, no, that’s too violent. I’d better just ask politely. I’m an adult, after all.

“Once you finish clearing the West Tokyo dungeon, make sure you report to headquarters, Ajiri Daishi.”

“I’ll do that. And you too—good luck with the rest of your adventures!”

“Thank you! I don’t know where your power comes from, but the way you faced the Nether Dragon King and the Nether King without flinching… it was amazing!”

Mina, the Grand Cleric, praised me with genuine, unreserved warmth.

She seemed like a real angel. I couldn’t help but grin a little.

“And also…”

“Huh? Eh!?”

“W-wait! W-what are you doing, Mina!?”

Suddenly, Mina placed her hand gently on my forehead. She lifted the long bangs that had been hiding my eyes, thus revealing my full face.

With a soft, radiant smile, she said something to me,

“I knew it… Daishi, when you lift your bangs, you’re seriously handsome!”

“W-what?!”

“If you ever get tired of Satsuki, just let me know.”

Mina winked, one of her alluring eyes sparkling mischievously.

Wait… is this really happening?

Honestly… she’s more my type than Satsuki…

No, no, hold on, Daishi. This is obviously just polite flattery.

Come on, you’ve lived thirty-seven years—get a grip!

“Mina!”

“Haha, sorry, sorry! Well then, take care! I sincerely hope we meet again somewhere!”

Chapter 343: Finally quiet

Yume Neiji

『Maribel!』

As Maribel was falling from Ouroboros, about to be slammed into the floor, Jilnitra caught her just in time.

Maribel was unconscious. 

In the next instant, the world shifted. Before we realized it, we were no longer within the subspace—we had returned to the area near the crash site of the Seno Grande Kai. Looks like once Maribel lost consciousness, we were expelled from the subspace.

Come to think of it, that subspace itself had been created by her magic. She must have been consuming an enormous amount of mana to sustain it.

“So a troublesome one really did go and undo Ouroboros’s seal. Well… I suppose without someone like that, the seal wouldn’t have broken in the first place.”

At any rate, the wielder of the staff was now gone. Even if Ouroboros tried to possess someone else present, none of them even came close to Maribel in terms of magical ability.

『Please be careful, Master. That staff is not something that will give up so easily.』

(…Yeah, I know.)

It happened in that instant.

Ouroboros, which had been floating in the air, released its vast and overwhelming magical power. The staff swelled larger and larger before our eyes. And then, what emerged was a dragon—its scales shimmering with iridescent, rainbow hues.

“…Just as I thought…!”

The Infinite Dragon Ouroboros had manifested its true form.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—!!”

Clutching its own tail in its jaws, Ouroboros unleashed a thunderous roar.

Its sheer presence was so overwhelming that even Lill, a Fenrir, trembled and instinctively stepped back.

“Wooooon!!”

Lill immediately reverted to her true form as well. Instinct must have told her that remaining in human form would not even allow her to stand against such a being.

“…Mm.”

“T-that’s… a monster…”

“This is not an opponent meant for humans to face…”

Fana, Anje, and Karen—the three girls—tightened their grips on their weapons, their expressions stiff with tension.

As if mocking them, Ouroboros began unfolding multiple spells around its ring-shaped body. Fire, earth, lightning, wind, water, ice, gravity—seven types of magic, all being prepared for simultaneous release.

In the next moment, a scene like the end of the world spread out before our eyes.

“““————!!?”””

Fana tried to leap into the sky on instinct, but she was caught by a bolt of lightning and shot down. Anje raised an earth wall for protection, only for it to be frozen solid along with her defenses. Karen attempted to cut through the incoming gale with a sword strike—but failed, and was sent tumbling through the air.

Even Lill was crushed by overwhelming gravity. Her massive body forced into the ground until it was half-buried.

In a single attack, everyone was wiped out—except for me, who had managed to escape using teleportation magic.

(Linlin, we’re using that.)

『…I suppose we have no choice. However, our remaining magic power is insufficient. Its usage time will be even more limited than before.』

(Doesn’t matter. I’ll finish this in an instant.)

“Temporary Growth Acceleration Magic”

It was a magic that sacrifices one’s lifespan in exchange for forcibly accelerating the growth of one’s own body. It was the same spell I had once used when I defeated the Demon King Alzazeil in the Magic City. If possible, I never wanted to rely on it again… but I had no choice now.

My body transformed into that of a tall, handsome man—completely naked.

I quickly retrieved my hero’s equipment from subspace and equipped it. The rejection backlash worried me, but there was no time to care about that.

After all—I was naked.

“…Let’s go.”

With the Hero’s Sword and Lindwurm in a dual-wield stance, I charged at Ouroboros.

Ouroboros, in turn, unleashed seven types of magic simultaneously.

“Then I’ll use seven as well.”

To counter it, I also deployed fire, earth, lightning, wind, water, ice, and gravity.

And in the next instant, we fired our spells at the same time.

Seven types of magic collided against seven types of magic. However, what clashed were different elements from each side. My fire magic melted Ouroboros’s ice, my water magic crushed its wind, and my earth magic dispersed its lightning. Only the gravity magic—shared by both—reached a perfect equilibrium and canceled itself out.

“…What?!”

“Did you know? Magic has something called elemental compatibility.”

A portion of my magic, having won through superior compatibility, broke through and struck Ouroboros.

“OOOAAAGHHHHHHH—!!”

The massive dragon twisted in agony, unleashing a pained roar.

Without waiting for the aftermath of the magic to fade, I pressed forward.

I focused all my fighting spirit and magic power into the Hero’s Sword.

Sensing it, Ouroboros hastily tried to create distance—

『I won’t let you.』

A voice cut in. Lindwurm unleashed a blinding breath of light. It was aimed directly at Ouroboros’s eyes—but was narrowly evaded.

In that brief opening, I had already closed the distance.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

I brought down my full-force strike.

SHRANG!!

The orichalcum blade severed Ouroboros’s ring-shaped body.

“————!!?”

With a silent, voiceless roar, the split halves of its body crashed to the ground. And at the same time, its colossal form began to shrink.

“It looks like it can no longer maintain its Infinite Dragon form.”

『For Ouroboros, losing its state as a ‘ring’ must be fatal.』

Before long, it reverted back to its staff form. I immediately moved in to apply a sealing spell.

『S-stop you bastard…! Are you planning to throw us back into that boring slumber again?! Damn you… YOUUUUU BASTAAAAARD!!』

The red dragon fragment desperately sent out a telepathic cry, but I ignored it and layered multiple seals over it. As its scales gradually lost their radiance and turned a dull gray, the telepathic voice cut off completely.

“…Phew. It’s finally quiet now.”

Isekai Nonbiri Sanpo Tabi

Walking, Chapter 282: Terrible cafeteria

Yume Neiji

As scheduled, we safely arrived at the barony.

The first priority was securing lodgings, but a problem arose.

“Unfortunately, we only have one room available. It comes with a bunk bed.”

“That’s fine then.”

Even though only one room was available, Sue readily agreed, so the lodging problem was quickly resolved.

“““Rock, paper, scissors!”””

Instead, the real excitement erupted in a heated game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who would sleep with whom—between me and Sue.

We were planning to stay two nights in the barony, leaving tomorrow free for sightseeing. Since we’d arrived in the late afternoon, dinner and bedtime came quickly.

But this inn offered rooms only, so we all headed out for dinner together.

“Ah… I wish we could eat at home. Oniichan’s cooking was better.”

“““Yeah!”””

“‘What do you mean yeah? Sue, you too—why are you agreeing?”

The moment we stepped into town, everyone seemed to agree with Shiro’s complaint.

When you travel to a new place, you have to try the local delicacies you know.

So, we headed to a nearby eatery. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete disaster.

“This doesn’t taste good.”

“It’s all greasy”

“The meat’s tough too…”

Even though the restaurant was crowded and clearly popular with locals, the food they served was awful. The dishes were drenched in oil, the meat overcooked, and the seasoning completely off. I couldn’t eat it, and Ao wasn’t even willing to try digesting it.

And the one most furious about the terrible food? Sue.

“Who on earth made this abomination?!”

Whoa—

Sue was yelling, which was rare enough to make everyone pause.

But then, some of the other patrons nearby started smirking and calling out to us.

“Hahaha, this place doesn’t serve first-timers.”

“You need a recommendation to even get a decent meal here.”

Wait…. does that mean they deliberately serving bad food to newcomers?

From the back of the kitchen, the chef was grinning as he watched us.

No way—that was just cruel.

I am now starting to get angry too.

At that moment, some other diners seemed to notice us.

“Hey, isn’t that the party from the northern frontier? The martial arts tournament champion, the black-haired boy, the blonde girl, a slime, and bunch of kids?”

“The black-haired boy is rare enough so there’s no mistaking it. That means…. this place is basically challenging the Lightning Chef and the Holy Empress, right?”

“Isn’t that a bad idea? Especially since the Lightning Chef is rumored to mercilessly electrocute anyone who treats his food carelessly.”

Once our identities were recognized, the murmurs around the restaurant grew louder.

Actually, I probably wouldn’t use electric shocks on someone who treats food so carelessly.I’m not sure about this time though.

Walking, Chapter 281: Sparring with adventurers

Yume Neiji

Boing, boing, boing.

“Ao, you’re back!”

“Your magic was amazing!”

“Horn can’t do magic like that yet.”

Shiro and the others were frolicking with Ao, and the adventuring duo watched them with obvious admiration.

“Wow… this slime is incredible. As expected of the martial arts tournament champion.”

“Right. Though I suppose it’s the nature of adventurers to want to fight strong opponents.”

Seeing Ao take down the wolves so effortlessly only fired them up even more. Ao, for her part, hadn’t even broken a sweat, so it was decided that the sparring match would begin. Since both adventurers were swordsmen types, Ao would fight in a swordsman style too—without using any offensive magic. Both sides would only enhance their physical abilities.

“All right, let’s begin!”

“““Go, Ao! Do your best!”””

At my signal, they stepped back, taking their positions with swords drawn. Ao held a wooden practice sword in her slime form.

Cheered on by the usual enthusiastic support from our little group, the three of them slowly move. Swords at the ready, they gradually narrowed the distance between each other.

“Hah!”

“Sei!”

In an instant, the two adventurers surged forward in perfect tandem, attacking Ao together. But Ao moved with calm precision, dodging their strikes and calmly parrying with her wooden practice sword. Time and again, they tried to strike her, but Ao didn’t even break a sweat. It was clear she was merely observing them, sizing them up, rather than committing herself fully.

Shu~

Tap. Tap.

““Ah!””

And just like that, the match was over.

Ao circled behind them in the blink of an eye and was gently tapped their legs with her wooden sword. The adventurers’ faces were a mix of shock and disbelief, but they immediately conceded defeat.

“Woah, she’s strong. No wonder she’s the champion. We thought we were pretty good, but we didn’t stand a chance.”

“Indeed. But it’s a good chance to witness the true strength of a martial arts tournament champion. Looks like we have a new goal to aim for.”

Though they had lost, the adventuring duo wore bright, genuine smiles.

From what I could tell, they clearly had the skill to make it through the preliminaries and even win the first round of the main tournament.Back in the carriage, the two of them continued discussing their impressions of the sparring match with Shiro acting as translator. It seemed everyone had benefited from the friendly duel—it had been a good experience for all of us.

Chapter 155: Defense of the Royal Capital

Yume Neiji

The place where I landed was called the Royal Castle Plaza.

It was at the very heart of the capital, no more than ten minutes’ walk from the castle gates. Markets were set up there several times a month, and I had come countless times in my former life as a messenger.

And now—a monster had appeared there.

“Buuoooooo!!”

At first glance, it resembled an enormous bear. Rising to its full height, it must have been at least eight meters tall. Its eyes were bloodshot. Its drooling mouth was grotesquely split along the right side like a wolf’s, revealing enormous fangs. Its tail—somehow—was a snake. From its arms, thick as bound logs, sprouted legs of other beasts like branches. The combination was horrifying.

A high-pitched, cackling laugh rang out.

I stood facing it, scanning for any other enemies. There were none. The laugh—undeniably—came from the monster itself. The monster’s body had a mouth where a human would have a flank. And from that mouth, a grating raucous laughter spilled out.

“What… is this…?”

The people in the plaza screamed and scattered. I could see mothers clutching their children who had collapsed in terror. I had no choice but to stand my ground.

By late morning, the plaza had already become a stage for the monster’s devastation.

Solana descended beside me and spoke.

“Do you remember the zombie wolf? The ones in the Eastern Dungeon—”

“Y-yeah…”

“This creature is similar to that. Those were monsters corrupted by darkness, but this one… it’s from ordinary animals transformed into monsters by Ymir.”

I steadied my trembling legs by lowering my stance, trying to hide my fear.

Soldiers from the castle began streaming into the plaza.

“F-First, evacuate the civilians!”

I shouted. Coming to the castle had not been in vain. Soldiers and knights were already moving to rescue people.

I drew a deep breath. The fight to gather allies was over. The next battle—the one to protect the city—was about to begin.

Heimdall crossed his arms, eyes narrowing as he surveyed the chaos.

“This monster appeared suddenly in the plaza. It might be a new ability of Ymir.”

The bear groaned in pain, its serpentine tail writhing violently in tandem.

I fixed my gaze on this manufactured abomination.

“I’ll take it down. Watch me, Gods.”

The bear swung its massive arms. I leapt sideways to avoid them just as the cobblestones beneath me shattered into fragments.

In my mind, I called out my Status.

Status:
Rion (14 years old, Male)
Level: 32

➥ 【Duplicity】…… It can be used in combination with the two divine protection.
➥ 【Friend of Spirits】…… Draws upon the power of spirits.
➥ 【God of Mischief’s Deception】……Creates illusions using magical power.

This was the full hand I had at my disposal. Every skill, every blessing, a tool to protect the city. I had to think fast and act faster.

First, I invoked the Golden Flame.

Skill『Sun’s Divine Protection』activated.
【Golden Flame】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Improves physical ability. Further effect for a limited time.

Suddenly, my speed surged. The bear seemed startled, struggling to keep up. Its massive arms rained down in chaotic swings, but I dodged with precision, parrying and redirecting blows with my dagger.

The smaller, randomly sprouted arms made things worse. The wolf-like front limbs bore sharp claws, and as I rolled aside, one of them grazed my cheek.

“H-hey, are you okay…!? We—!”

A goddess hovered, ready to intervene, but I shouted.

“I’m fine!”

As long as the bear was focused on me, the others would remain safe. Its frantic rampage in the presence of a divine being, mindless and violent as it was, actually minimized collateral damage.

“Raaah…!”

The massive bear groaned, bleeding from its eyes like crimson tears. It twisted its body, bringing the serpent tail toward me in a sweeping strike. I leaned low, dodging the impossible weight just in time.

And yet, the snake’s head was already turning toward me again, relentless.

“Shaaaaa!”

A gush of violet fluid shot from its fanged maw.

“Wake up!”

The wind spirit Sylph leapt forward, deflecting the venom. The droplets sizzled as they hit the cobblestones, scorching the ground.

For a tense moment, it was just me, the massive bear, and its writhing serpent tail, locked in a silent standoff. Then the bear rose to its full height and let out a thunderous roar.

――BuoOOOooOOO!

High above, Heimdall tilted his head, his gaze sharp.

“This bear… perhaps it was once a creature of some renown.”

His eyes flicked to me, cool and calculating.

“Rion… it seems it has acknowledged you as its final opponent in life.”

I nodded. Drawing its attention fully, I shouted with everything I had.

“Come at me!”

Suddenly, the bear charged. The ground trembled beneath its weight. Market tents collapsed under the shock.

If I dodged—it would probably crash into the nearby buildings. Using Skill 『Divine Protection of the God of Hunting 』, “Wild Heart”,  to sense the surroundings, I could still feel human presence in the structures behind me.

“Rion!”

“Believe, Sun God. Your follower—he’s no longer just protected by the gods!”

I braced myself. I met the bear’s charging shoulder with my short sword.

Skill 『God of Thunder’s Divine Protection』activated.
【Will of the War God】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅When facing an enemy stronger than oneself, it increases the power one’s blow.

I pushed back with all my strength. My feet sank into the cobblestones and slid as the bear barreled forward. The wall behind me was closing in.

It would crush me!

【Golden Flame】 and 【Will of the God of War】 amplified my strength against this monstrous foe. Probably, Loki’s【Duplicity】 had enhanced the already formidable 【Golden Flame】, fusing it with 【Will of the God of War】 to heighten my resistance.

――Oooh!

The giant bear groaned. The shattering of cobblestones beneath its paws came to a halt.

God’s protection… just a little longer, please!

“I… will… push you back!”

I swung my short sword through the air. The blade seemed to be blocked by the monstrous fur, but I still pushed the massive body back.

“Guooooo!”

A serpentine tail lunged at me. I awakened the fire spirit Salamander and met it with a blazing fireball. The giant bear staggered, losing its balance, and toppled over.

Using “Wild Heart” to sense its body, I noticed a red glow in its chest. My magical detection pinpointed the place where the monster’s power concentrated the most.

Skill 『God of Thunder’s Divine Protection』activated.
【Hammer of the God of Thunder】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Shoots a powerful lightning attack.

I leapt into the air, imagining Thor’s golden hammer in the short sword I raised. The lightning-wreathed blade struck the bear’s chest. Electricity coursed through its massive body, and the red glow in its chest vanished. The monster crumbled, turning to black ash that drifted away on the wind.

The square fell silent.

The soldiers who had been protecting the people stared at us in stunned disbelief.

I wiped the sweat and blood from my forehead.

“We… won…”

The goddess descended from the sky.

“…You’ve grown stronger, Rion.”

“It’s thanks to your blessing, Goddess.”

“The one who faced it… was your strength.”

She gripped my hand tightly.

A roar of cheers and whispers rippled through the square, filling it with awe and relief.

――D-did we… really defeat it!?

――That child…?

――Or wait, could he be the “Awakener” after all!?

Heimdall approached, clearing his throat.

“…Well then, the obstacles are gone, right? Or… am I the one in the way?”

Solana and I hurriedly let go of each other’s hands. My cheeks burned. My chest fluttered. Something felt… strange. Somehow, the cheers around us felt warmer, more heartfelt.

Heimdall smiled at me.

“Boy. Blow the horn once more.”

I blinked and tilted my head.

“O-once more?”

“Yes. The horn sounds at the start of battle, but it is also sounded at victory. Above all…”

Heimdall pointed to the sky. The aurora still shimmered, painting the heavens in radiant light.

“Your sister’s magic still lingers in the horn. If we channel the excitement of the gods across the world through this victory… the tide will turn in every dungeon on the planet.”

I froze.

Ymir was loosening the seals on monsters in every dungeon. Just as the royal capital’s dungeon was in danger, monsters were surely about to spill into other cities as well.

But in the same places, the gods were sealed too.

“…So that means we’re going to wake the gods sleeping in distant dungeon.”

I drew out the horn.

They called me the “Horn Boy,” and during the previous battle, even a hero. I was ready to endure and push forward.

In the royal capital’s square, watched by gods and countless onlookers, I blew the horn.

Wake up!

This is a counterattack against the monsters using the Gjallarhorn, the alarm horn.
