Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
9-2: Towards the City of the Labyrinth
"Ooh…!"
"Why don't you change clothes with us…"
"No. I'll just wear these clothes…"
Tiane and the others who had already finished changed down to the lobby on the first floor…
There was no bar room on the first floor of this inn…
This is a high-class inn because even this lobby needs a separate payment to use…
They served tea that was just as delicious as the one Lina and Tiane made…
This inn was located behind the Explorers Guild…
Actually I wanted to go to the mansion that Giril had referred to, but since I didn't know if we could stay there immediately, we got an inn to look after the horses first…
By the way, about the magic tools in the carriage, I changed its appearance to look exactly like a normal carriage when the stable boy left the place…
The impurities are a little different, but since I have used the Evidence Destruction skill, it will probably be fine…
"Now, shall we go…"
"Master, this is presumptuous of me, but you must wear armor…"
"Reporting that equipment is important…"
"I'll be on standby today…"
"I have Cronoa and Ciel to protect me…"
And if I use armor it is troublesome and also heavy as my chest…
It's made of Yuriha fiber and I've used whale skin to make shoes, so most attacks shouldn't get past it…
And also I have a barrier that will protect me passively and it can be deactivated as I please…
Just in case, I picked up the fairy sword that was leaning on the sofa while I was wearing white gloves like I used to…
Since there seemed to be a carriage going from the front gate to the west gate every two hours, we headed there…
At first we had to wait an hour before leaving, but since the passenger had already reached his quota of eight, he would leave just like that… "
It's pretty flexible, yeah…
"Ehehehe.this is my first real maze…"
"This must be different from the Spriggan trial…"
"Truly different…?"
"It's not a playground like that…!"
"This is a true battlefield that makes your blood boil…!"
"You two, you'll get hurt in the labyrinth if you like that…"
"Focus your mind…"
"Roger…"
"Good…"
Lina reprimanded Ciel who was acting like a senior to Tiane…
Mia seems tense, she doesn't talk much…
Cronoa was operating normally, so he might be fine…
"Chevalier is the same, I'm sorry, but can you allow one more person to ride…?"
"Yes, don't hesitate…"
Although it was called a carriage, this one only had seats without a roof, there were four seats, two seats lined up…
If one was as small as Mia, three of them could occupy one seat easily…
When we were about to start, the female staff asked so…
Since occupying another would not be a problem if Ciel sat on my lap, I agreed…
"I'm sorry for pushing in…"
"My name is Gina, I'm the daughter of Chevalier Daryl…"
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Chevalier Secilia…"
She is a 16-year-old girl equipped with dark brown leather armor, a round shield and a flail…
She's as tall as me…
I don't know its exact size because it's suppressed by the armor, but it looks like it can rival Cronoa…
She has shoulder-length red hair, reddish-brown eyes and she's a little tanned…
I wonder if he comes from a knight family, he is level 6 despite his age and he also has a Shield skill and One handed Staff…
The flail has two iron balls connected by chains to a one-meter-long iron pole…
Those iron balls probably increased the centrifugal force…
I've seen it a lot in games, but this is the first time I've seen it in this world…
Gina did not seem to like, or rather, fearing the demi-humans, she did not seem like she wanted to sit next to the slave for the sake of the human coachman and the others, she did not seem like she wanted to sit next to the slave for the sake of the human driver and the others, so he sat down between Lina and Tiane…
Isn't that narrow…?
"The same Gina, are you an explorer…?"
"Your power has become one now…"
"There are people from my city who are also explorers, so I will search for them near the west gate and then handle the labyrinth together together…"
Lina spoke to him in a polite tone…
Miss Gina spoke like a knight, I don't know if it was naturally or if she acted like that…
I felt a little strange in Lina's tone, but since she was also acting like that with the hero, I let it go…
After leaving the place where the rich live, we arrive at a wonderful street that seems to be a pleasure quarter…
The quiet atmosphere of the city until now changed completely, giving rise to a vulgar atmosphere…
Although the beautiful women from the multi-storey buildings did not wave their hands too much, I wonder what is with this feeling of joy…
I feel like I have understood Lina a little to look forward to the labyrinth…
Of course I didn't say it out loud…
After leaving the resting place, we arrived at a narrow passage filled with small shops filled with commotion…
Gunmen and women who appeared to be explorers were negotiating in those shops…
"Uwah, everyone wears striking armor, no…"
" Glorious, striking…"
"They're like Tori san..."
"Kabuki…?"
Hero Daisaku, what are you teaching in the elven's hometown…
Moreover, Tiane, the real you is showing…
Nevertheless, the armor may be made of monster parts, but I wonder what the meaning of the endless ornaments is…?
I guess it's for threatening things…?
However, the cruiser equipment was indeed strange…
The equipment of the explorers who had participated in the match of the normal Duchy capital was compared to this…
It seems like even the explorers know TPO(Time Place Occasion)…
There were many young people because there were people with mysterious equipment…
There was someone wearing wooden beams that were stitched as armor or people who had stone axe or black stone spear…
The equipment of the magic hunters in the city of Puta is more normal…
We got off the carriage in front of the Explorers Guild at the west gate…
I guess the right Explorers Guild before the labyrinth was more convenient for them…
"Yo', rookie angsawan explorers are the same there…"
"How about this, do you need a map of the labyrinth…?"
"That's three silver coins…"
The market price is one big copper coin…
Even blackmail has limits…
Miss Gina beside me was dumbfounded, “What, it's expensive.”…
The map store clerk seemed to think that I who did not falter even after hearing the silver coins, was an easy target, he tried to promote it further…
Let's ignore and bargain first…
"I'll buy it for one big copper coin…"
"Oyy oyy, isn't that too much cheap…?"
"I don't really need it if it's more than that…"
"Wait, I'll give you one big copper coin especially this time…"
"We're selling the most accurate maze map here…"
"If this map is useful, please buy from us again by all means…"
I traded one big copper coin for the map…
“First area” written messy on the edge of the map drawn with it…
The map is full of strange lines and symbols, I don't know how to read them…
"How do you read this…?"
"That's big copper again…"
"A lot of this, included in the previous cost…"
The little man would ask for more money, but I covered his words and forced the service…
It seems like they are various trials and errors because they depict three-dimensional maps on plane paper…
"What symbol is this…?"
"That's the Sign Monument…"
Summarizing the rambling explanation of the little man, the Sign Monument was something that past explorers had prepared in an area that had been fully explored, they built at fixed intervals in the labyrinth…
Three pieces of information, [Area Number], [Distance from the Entrance] and [Series Number] were carved into this monument…
It has one more important function…
It glowed red as the monsters approached and blue when it was people…
This is to prevent friendly fire between explorers in the dark labyrinth…
"However, young lady…"
"Even if it shines blue, don't let you off guard, okay…?"
"Why…?"
"There's a thief called Lost Thieves who's after explorers who've been hunting monsters…"
I see, there are such people in MMOs with PKs as well…
"What should we do if we are attacked by those people…?"
"That's hard to say…"
If the other party attacks first, you are free to kill them or sell them as criminal slaves, but it seems difficult to tell them apart if they pretend to be friendly common explorers…
So, if you meet other explorers, you have to be careful and keep your distance from each other, unless you know them…
However, putting me aside, I think it is difficult to know whether the other party has a criminal record or not…
It seemed that it could be assessed with Yamato stone at the entrance of the labyrinth…
If you catch them before they kill someone, there are staff who have Mind Reading and Authenticate skills on standby who will judge for that as it seems…
Since Lina and the others have become impatient, let's delay the information gathering for now…
I got more information I was thinking about, so I quietly gripped it with one big copper coin…
Since Miss Gina said that she was going to find her acquaintance, she went to the Explorer Guild building and we parted ways…
The west gate seems to be normally closed, unlike the east gate…
When you showed your Wood ID to the gatekeeper, they opened the gate for a moment…
Being a gatekeeper here seems to be quite difficult…
As we approached the west gate, children wearing short clothes approached…
Are they beggars or orphans…?
When I checked, their job was [Baggage Carriers]…
There are many girls for some reason…
"Nobility alike, please hire me…"
"Hiring me, I'm fine with two cents a day…"
"I'm fine with a penny a day…!"
"Hey, don't interrupt me…"
"I don't need money if you give me food…"
"I'll do anything…!"
Uwah, if hero Hayato hears this, he will shout “Do not touch, Secilia!”
Lina gently pushed the little girl who was trying to hold onto my clothes with the blunt tip of her spear…
The children slightly retreated slightly from Tiane's gaze, but they continued to promote…
Each child is level 1-2…
I can't take them to the labyrinth because it's dangerous…
Ciel and Totona seem to want to say something because they seem to sympathize with children who have growling bellies…
There's no choice…
I took the kids to a store that sold skewers nearby and bought one for each of them…
The skewers seemed to be made of monster meat from what the eastern guild people told me, but since other explorers usually bought and ate them, it should be fine…
Although the skewers were quite large, they were only one copper coin, cheap…
"Well, that's the prick of the labyrinth frog…"
"It's a party…"
"Enak…"
"I'll work hard same nobleman…"
"Umm, I haven't been partying like this in a long time…"
It's just, what you usually eat…
I also bought some for Ciel and the others because they looked like they wanted to…
We left the little girls there and went to the labyrinth…
For some reason, the little girls would come with us, but I left them because I couldn't let them…
"The little girls look here like they want to join the party…"
Noisy…
Lina said something like the system message of some game, but I ignored it…
The little girls looked so reluctant towards us who had passed the closing west gate, but I strengthened my feelings and did not return…
