Ziruko found many roads. He divided his army again. And now he's just walking alone with Azalea.
It's possible that Mizu's condition is also the way it is. But he can't imagine Mizu walking with a man. Most likely Mizu chose to walk on her own, that was what she thought.
"Aza, what do you think the other is doing?"
"I believe in Mizu. He'll definitely survive.
"I can't continue to be optimistic, but as much as possible I will try to think optimistically."
"You should also try to believe it."
"Alright, I'll try to believe in Mizu."
The two of them continued to walk through this labyrinth. However, they never found the end of this labyrinth.
"Aza, what if this labyrinth has no end?"
"Just relax, all the labyrinths must have an end."
"You were too optimistic Aza. Have you ever thought that maybe this isn't a labyrinth?"
"Maybe you're too pessimistic, Ziruko."
"Oh yes Aza, do you think this temple will be buried back into the ground?"
"If that happens I'll just hope and follow you. If you panic, I'll panic."
"It turns out now, you already trust me a lot huh. But, I feel like a reference."
"Why indeed? can't it?"
"It's not like that, it's just that I feel really happy."
Not long after, they were at a dead end. At first, Ziruko decided to return. But, Azalea asked to rest for a moment.
"Alright Aza, it looks like it's a dead end. We have to go back to that road."
"We'd better stay here."
"Why?"
"I want to rest a while."
Ziruko waited until Azalea's fatigue subsided.
"Ziruko, it looks like we need to stay put for a little longer. And maybe the path is here."
"It's just a dead end.There's nothing to do now except come back and take another path."
"You're feeling more emotional, is this because of Mizu?"
"It's not like that."
"By the way what happens when you sleep with Mizu."
"Nothing happened, I just found out there was Mizu when I woke up in the morning."
"I'll try to believe it."
"Did you find anything strange?"
"It seems strange that the end of the labyrinth is here."
"It's a labyrinth, we can't guess where it ends."
"Therefore, I told you to shut up for a moment Ziruko!!!"
"Don't feel like you're Azalea's smartest!!!"
"Who exactly is a smart ass?"
"Then prove what you said!!!"
"I'll think for a moment."
"I'm sorry, Aza I accidentally yelled at you."
"It's okay, I'm a little happy because we're like husband and wife."
"As far as you are."
"Ziruko doesn't feel weird if there's a huge labyrinth in this little temple."
"In hindsight, your words are true. But it's underground. So it could be a real maze."
"What if this labyrinth is just an illusion?"
"I can't imagine that all this is just an illusion. After all, there are people who have magical powers of this magnitude in Belerick City."
"Look, what if this temple's a fake?"
"Where it may be fake, you will also see it clearly when this temple rises to the surface."
"I have a thought."
"Try explaining!"
"If I'm right, the mastermind behind all of this is a human who's conspiring with the minotaur."
"The Minotaur? isn't their kingdom not part of the Rossweild Empire?"
"But it's possible that there are some Minotaurs living in the Rossweild Empire."
"So what's next?"
"Oh right, your reasoning makes sense too. Then let's try to prove it."
"How is it?"
"Aren't you aware of it? actually we haven't touched a wall since we got into this temple."
"Totally so."
After that, the two of them tried to touch the wall that was in front of him. As it turned out, Azalea's guess was correct. It's all just an illusion.
If only Ziruko had known earlier he might have met the king of the Minotaurs sooner, and also would not have had to divide the army.
"You're so great Aza. It turns out that this is all an illusion."
Azalea turned her face away, and looked like she was proud of herself.
"But don't be proud, Aza. There's one more thing to do."
"What's that?"
"How do I get rid of this illusion?"
"How is it? if it's about that I don't know."
"You're this..."
"I why? am I smart? or... am I beautiful? oh yeah, maybe you're starting to like me."
"That's a big you, how could I like you."
"I hold, your words. But I'm sure you'll like me soon."
"It doesn't seem like it's going to happen."
They both thought of a way to dispel this illusion. Perhaps, they would encounter the others if this illusion was dispelled.
"Azalea, I know use your arc to make tornadoes."
Azalea just smiled looking at Ziruko. Ziruko did not understand what Azalea was thinking.
"What's Azalea? are you sick?"
"I'm not sick!!! it's just that I'm happy that you called my name in full."
"It turns out just because of that. Then what do you want to do with my words."
"Which word are you?"
"Kill you!!!"
"Just calm. If you kill me, you'll feel lonely."
"I told you to use your arc to create tornadoes."
"Do you want to destroy this place?"
"No, no. You misunderstood."
"But it's magical power with a huge scale of destruction."
"A long time anyway. I'm the one who's gonna destroy this place."
Ziruko hit the ground where he stood using the gaia energy he had.
He overused gaia so much that it caused an explosion that made the ground he was treading destroyed.
They both fell into a deeper part of the temple. But compared to that, the illusion was gone.
"And done, the illusion is gone."
"You tried to kill me."
"No, it's just a crazy idea."
Meanwhile, Mizu who was walking with Riz was suddenly startled by the sound of an explosion.
"What was that explosion?"
"It looks like the explosion is strong. Our footing could collapse."
"Don't pray about something like that, Riz."
Suddenly the ground that Mizu and Riz incandescent collapsed.
"Sure Ziruko did this."
"He's really doing crazy things, Mizu."
"Just for now we'll go look for Ziruko."
Finally, Mizu and Riz ran towards the sound of the explosion.
Returning to the state of Ziruko, he was grateful for not being hit by the ruins. He followed his instinct to walk towards the north.
From far away there was one minotaur walking towards Ziruko, and he shouted like he was talking to the two of them from a distance.
The minotaur twirled its axe as it ran.
"You're great too yes, being able to know the magical core of that person's illusion."
"What do you mean?"
