Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku

18-29. Boy in the Labyrinth City (2)

"I\'m a great person"

Shortly after parting from Jel, the Great Shield, we arrived at the white building-the West Explorer Guild.

There are a lot of people here, and I think there are twice as many people here as there are people in our village.

We line up following the aspiring explorers who were walking in front of us.

"Is registration really in this line?"

"You\'re right. Zaki is worried."

"Because, you see. The people in front of you--"

"The clothes have blood on them. Isn\'t that the one who came back from the labyrinth?"

Gon and Zaki, who heard my point, looked at each other and ran to the begining of the line saying, "I want to ask…"

"I\'ve heard you. New registration is over there."

"Well, what was this procession?"

"This is an application for a newcomer explorer class."

I know the name of the new explorer class.

It\'s the one my sister told me to take.

"Let\'s go, Sharon"

"Wait, I want to take a class"

"Hey, we\'re here to be explorers? Isn\'t beginner training ? That\'s what the village mayor\'s son or pharmacist apprentice should do."

Gon says so and pulls me forcibly.

"Isn\'t that really the case?"

We were surprised at the sudden voice and jumped away.

Looking back, there was a giant dog man wearing a blue cloak.

"Hey, look at that"

"Blue cloak-" it\'s Pendora "!"

"That\'s Gaugal, the Storm Sword. Look, there\'s a Gale The blade and a Magic Bow Rabbi over there."

"Is it all the members for the first term?"

"They\'re party that targets the Area Master. Will you hunt it? "

"Seriously. Even though they are geniuses, they are already up to the " Area Master"!"

Veteran explorers in the guild buzz.

"It\'s a noisy, gau. Anyway, one should always takes a newcomer training. It\'s that increases the probability of survival, gau."

The dog man says so and walks toward the gathering of people in the blue cloak.

Beyond that, the entrance became noisier.

"-It\'s" Fang of Fire ""

The strong men appeared, splitting the crowd left and right as if the well-built explorers were afraid to fight.

"First-It\'s Zarigon"

"There are all the main members of Fang of Fire".

A man of the human race called Zarigon goes to the blue cloaks.

As I heard later, the first one is the greatest organizer among the explorers. It seems that the leader of the predecessor, Asaku or Yasek, retired and he took over.

"Well done, Usasa"

"I can\'t help but accept Zarigon\'s invitation."

Zarigon lightly hits the a rabbitkin on the wounded cheek.

"--Listen, yeah yeah!"

Zarigon turns shoulder to shoulder with the rabbitkin and shouts at the people of the guild.

"We,\'Fang of the Fireworks\' and\'Pendora\' led by Usasa-"

"\' Lord Floor master』We declare the start of subjugation! "

When they declared so, the people of the guild stand up, raised their fists and cheered.

We and maybe the newcomers around us were swallowed by the atmosphere of the place and screamed together without knowing the reason.

Leaving himself to the screams of the swelling explorers, the flames splattered with a roaring sound.

It seems that a fireball exploded near the high ceiling of the guild.

The explorers gazed at the old woman who would have fired the fireball.

"Gee, guild chief."

"As usual, I\'m an old lady."

Veteran explorers look at the old woman and say in a dismayed tone.

"Noisy guys, at all"

"You overdo it too. What if it burns?"

"I would not make such a mistake."

A delicate girl came out from behind the old woman.

The veteran explorers around me rushed away, saying, "Yeah, there\'s Severkea," "Run away, Severkea\'s punishment shouldn\'t be good."

I was a little worried about the girl who was more scared than the crazy old woman who fired a fireball in the building, but it must be something like "danger to touch" like my sister, so stay away from getting involved.

"Zarigon, you feel like trying for the first time in four years."

"Oh, I have to revenge properly before the new guys catch up."

"This time, Kajiro-san will also help me, hey, Usasa."

"Oh, that\'s right. Ayaume refused because of parenting, but Kajiro kindly agreed."

As I listened to the conversations of the guild chiefs, someone pulled the sleeves of my clothes.

"Lets go"

Prompted by the quiet Lhasa, we completed the explorer registration at the counter where the explorer was gone.

"Registration is complete. Mr. Sharon, you are an explorer from today."

I grab the wooden certificate I received from the staff.

My adventure is about to begin.

"Is this the searcher\'s card … It\'s a piece of wood."

"It\'s true. It just has some numbers written on it."

Unlike me, who was impressed, Keros and Gon seem to be dissatisfied with the wooden certificate they received.

"The wooden certificate is a temporary explorer certificate, so it can\'t be helped. First, defeat the monsters and collect five demon cores by the end of next month."

Zaki advises Keros and Gon.

"Let\'s go to the next location"

Through such grumbling, Lhasa pulls us.

I was able to register for the newcomer class immediately, but it seems that I will be able to take it three days in advance due to the fact that reservations are full.

I also registered at a rowhouse that can only be used by new explorers. There is only one room for each party, but the army commander and the aristocrats of the labyrinth city will bear the cost, so it seems that you can stay for free.

"I thought aristocrats were just stingy."

"It\'s been six or seven years since the Army general-sama started investing. It\'s probably the influence of His Excellency Pendragon, who first invested a lot of money."

The staff who heard the mutter leaked by Keros informed me with a bitter smile.

"Let\'s go. Next it\'s upstairs"

Gon and Keros still wanted to hear from the guild chief, but Zaki and Lhasa insisted on acting in the absence of people and headed upstairs in the guild. There seems to be a map of the guild here.

"This is the map of the first section. I have it because I took it before, but everyone should see it once and see what kind of place it is."

"This is the labyrinth--"

Much wider than I had imagined.

"Look! There is a stuffed monster!"

Tired of staring at the map, Gon ran towards the stuffed animal in the exhibition corner.

"It\'s powerful"

"Oh, I\'ve seen Gob, but I\'ve seen others for the first time."

Even ants are huge in the labyrinth.

"From now on, we will risk our lives with these monsters."

"Yes, so it\'s important to know your weaknesses."

Lhasa pointed to the board of the pedestal.

The habits and weaknesses of monsters are written there. The labyrinth ant I was looking at has a hard shell, and it seems that a normal sword will be repelled unless it is slashed with a sharp blade. It seems that it is better to aim at the joint of the shell and stab it.

"Yeah! I\'ll do it! Let\'s go to the labyrinth!"

Gon, who was excited to see the stuffed monster, invited everyone to say so.

"But take a newcomer class before entering the labyrinth--"

--My sister.

"How can you wait for three days! You have to go to the back! It\'s just the first time!"

"That\'s right! As Gon says!"

"I don\'t have much money after traveling here, so I have to earn money for food?"

"Yeah, rice is important"

"That\'s right …"

We headed to the labyrinth to be swept away by the momentum of Gon and Keros, who said things like bad adults in the village.

Like me, it seems that Sina, Lhasa, and Zaki couldn\'t control their interest in the labyrinth.

"What about weapons?"

Aside from the fully equipped Keros, the others have only a dagger, except that Zaki has a hatchet. Sina is a small knife for cooking, so it would be a little use in battle.

"Then I have a guess. Come on."

Following Zaki, there were several baskets on the edge of the training center behind the guild. The contents are empty.

"It\'s weird. I used to have a weapon here just before it was destroyed."

According to Zaki, there are weapons that were damaged during training, and it was good that the person who wanted them could take them with them.

"Because it is dangerous for newcomers, the guild is collecting it at this time."

A fat merchant-like person passing by will tell you.

"I can\'t help it, I can do something with just a dagger! Let\'s go!"

"Wait a minute"

The merchant stops Gon trying to go.

"If you\'re a veteran, you can use a dagger, but if you\'re an amateur, it\'s dangerous. It can\'t be helped.

That expression? Is it from another country? I feel like it\'s similar to my sister\'s language.

"Please take this. It\'s an ant-clawed short spear. It was designed by the apprentices of Echigoya Firm, and although it is not very sturdy, it can be used by opponents like Demigoblin."

"Are you really giving it to me? We don\'t have money?"

"Of course, we will give it to you for free."

"Yeah! Now you can go to the labyrinth!"

"Thank you, are you really okay?"

"Thank you, uncle"

"Appreciate it"

"Thank you, use it carefully"

"I don\'t like it because I have a shield and a good sword."

Only Keros refused, but we thank him and receive a short spear.

"Tell me your name"

"Is it my name?"

"Yeah. I want to thank you if you get stronger in the future."

"I also want to know"

"Me too"

Lhasa explained, and as I and Sina repeated words, the merchant opened his mouth with a smiley face.

"I\'m Akindo, a merchant. At the guild or at the Echigoya Shokai branch on Chuo-dori. Ask for me if you visit, and if I can I will meet you. "

Mr. Akindow said so and left in front of us.

I realized that we had forgotten to give our named, after he disappeared behind the building, I hurriedly chased him, but he wasn\'t there anymore and I gave up.

We steeled our minds and headed for the labyrinth.

◇

"This is a labyrinth!"

When I entered the heavy door, I came out to a passage like a semi-underground.

There are windows for light at regular intervals near the ceiling, and the passage can be seen by the light falling from there.

There are many new explorers like us in the front.

"This is not a labyrinth yet. It\'s a passage leading to a labyrinth called" The Passage of Death"."

"Hey, it\'s a disturbing name."

Gon looks creep out by Zaki\'s remarks.

I agree. When you say you\'re going to the labyrinth, don\'t give it such an unlucky name.

"But yeah yeah yeah!"

I heard an angry voice from the front.

The rushing footsteps are getting closer and closer.

The newcomers walking in front split left and right, and the explorers rushed to the center.

If you look closely, it\'s full of blood, and it seems that someone is on something like a stretcher.

As they passed by us, I saw the cloth wrapped around the body of the person lying on the stretcher dyed bright red, and noticed dripping blood on the ground passing by.

-That doesn\'t help anymore.

I can tell from the many times I saw adults who were injured in hunting die.

"stop!"

"Don\'t disturb!"

I heard a quarreling voice behind me.

"At this rate, I can\'t keep it till outside. Use this."

"Magical medicine? Too bad but I have no money"

"I don\'t mind. I don\'t need to pay for it, use it."

"Just return the favor"

The magical medicine given by a veteran explorer seemed to heal the wounds of the injured, and I heard cheers so far.

"Thank you, I was saved. Tell us the name of our benefactor."

"I\'m the Jeje of Red Ice\'"

"I will definitely return this favor"

"Don\'t worry. We\'ve been helped in the same way. Now you can help someone."

An explorer who calls himself Jeje goes away saying so, overtaking us who were stunned to see, and leaving for the labyrinth.

"Kake, I want to say that too one day."

"Yes, it\'s worthy of respect."

Gon and Zaki look at Jeje\'s disappearing face with an impressed face.

I want to be a person who can help someone like him.

The other explorers thought so, and there were several pairs of explorers talking about similar things.

We walked down the aisle to follow Jeje, but couldn\'t catch up and ended up at the Labyrinth Gate.

"What is that?"

Children younger than us are sitting in a slightly wider area in front of the labyrinth gate.

Everyone has an empty basket and the proportion of girls is high.

"It\'s the children carriers. You can\'t carry the loot with just the explorer, so you hire carriers."

Zaki informed me.

"If you go to the labyrinth, declare your searcher ID number and search period here!"

The guild staff in front of the labyrinth gate said so and called us.

We showed the wooden certificate in turn, told us that we would return on a day trip, and received a brief note from the staff.

"Dozon-sama!"

"" Dozon-sama! ""

Looking back at the turmoil of the carriers, the giant explorers had just returned from the Labyrinth Gate.

"Is he a celebrity?"

"Yes, it\'s the number one explorer in humanity."

Is it more popular than the first one?

Dozon-sama\'s companion puts a large back basket on the floor and reports on demon cores and loot.

"Let\'s go"

Lhasa urges us to see somehow and goes to the labyrinth gate.

"Today is Gluttonous dog Gratney Hound, I\'m back with his meat! "

"" Wow! Meat! ""

Dive down the labyrinth gate while listening to the cheers behind.

It was a little fascinating, but the desire to enter the labyrinth prevailed and we went ahead.
