Small shouts are raised from behind.
They seem to be surprised that a slave is so high leveled at level 13 and even has 4 skills.
Liza is wearing a hard to read expression like always, but her tail is twitching a bit. She's probably a bit proud.
Next is Pochi. Since her hands didn't reach, Liza lift her up from behind. She looks really happy having her hands and feet loose in the air.
The Yamato stone official tells her to place her hand. Shouts bigger than the time with Liza are raised. For 10 years old to be level 13 is probably amazing. Her skills are 4 too.
Pochi's tail are waving with a buzz. She looks over here and make a noise with her nose.
The last one is Tama. Just like with Pochi, Liza lifts her. Did she also want to have her hands and feet loose in the air? she looks really happy her tail swinging on Liza's legs.
When her stats are displayed, the shouts are quieter than the one with Pochi. Her stat is as good as Pochi, but since it's the third time already, the surprise factor is already fading. Tama looks dissatisfied.
"It must have been hard to train demi-human slaves to that degree."
"It's not that much. Because the girls are excellent."
It's true that I struggled, but the girls' excellences is a fact too. Although I wouldn't die even without them, I would undoubtedly have an unpleasant time with the traps.
The inspection with Yamato stone end with Tama's turn.
It seems that everyone except Nebinen-shi who's in deep talk with the white-haired official is allowed to go home.
"Now then, since the inspection is done, is it fine for us to go home?"
"I'm sorry, I'd like to hear the time when the demon appear from you for a bit more."
◇
Me, Zena-san, and Nebinen-shi, the three of us tell the event which unfolded until we were swallowed up by the labyrinth in detail to the commander and white-haired official.
I was embarrassed when Zena-san excessively praised me for the handling of Uusu. Even Nebinen-shi concluded that I've subsided the possibility of rebellion and dealt with the agitator inside the crowd... Well, it's the truth though.
Since I remember the words of the demon when we got into labyrinth better, Nebinen-shi passed it to me to convey.
"For the sake of full revival huh..."
"I don't know how much magic power is needed for demon's revival, but here is close with the dragon line."
"Right, since it's near the earth veins... Even then, it would still take several months right? Before that let's call high level explorer clans from the labyrinth city, Ceribila, and bring it to an end."
Yup, lots of unknown words making it hard to follow the story. On the side, Zena-san who's clenching her fist is nodding with serious expression.
Let's summarize the words that I understand for now, it's fine to leave the demon alone for a few months, before that, defeat it by calling the high level explorers? It's like that, OK?
After that, what kind of monster appear in the labyrinth? How many of them appear at the same time? What kind of traps are there? various things like that were asked.
I only report half of the battle we've been but I don't hide the type of enemy of who came out.
At first it was just common fact checking, when the story arrived at the time we meet viscount Belton just before the bone hall, the official's face became strange.
"What's wrong?"
"No well~. Did you really fight that many battles without a spellcaster? Furthermore judging from the time the labyrinth appeared to your escape, each battle's time is really short I think? Did you properly take breaks?"
"Of course. Since we're not machines."
"Yeah, of course you are." (Most likely Zena)
"Yes, we took 3 rest, each for about 3 hours."
"It doesn't look like you're just bragging."
Huh? Did I make a mistake?
"It must be a party with exceedingly good cooperation. You did well not to get annihilated fighting to the bitter end even with that high pace."
"That's right~ If even one people incur serious injury, you'd have been annihilated... If I was with you then I could have became the role of support or healer."
Ah, Zena-san's eyes begin to turn teary.
"Along the way, we've found an alchemist hideout, and we found a lot of magic potions. It's partly thanks to that~."
I'll sully myself to stop a girl's cry. Deception skill come on~.
"Umu, as expected if there were no means for recovery, that many battles would have been impossible."
Yep, we went through hardships.
Whenever the beastkin girls were about to surely got hit, I immediately dash and parry the attack. If they are about to get surrounded, I aggro the enemy.
I really want provocation skill. Let's try to see if I can get it or not next time.
◇
Oh right, I should confirm it before I forget.
"Um, can I ask something?"
"What would that be? I don't mind as long as it's not military secret. By the way, my daughter is 15 years old with beautiful buttock and very popular."
What is this person saying? Let's magnificently ignore!
"It's about the labyrinth, I think it's spreading considerably. Is it fine to just let the labyrinth spread out like this?"
"Oh, did I not explain it?"
You did not.
"The labyrinth won't spread to anywhere beside to the outer wall of this square. I can safely declare that there is no danger of the city collapsing."
"I want to hear the reason for that safety if possible..."
"Umu, right. The army, collaborating with the town's magicians and alchemists have set up barrier. A consecration ceremony involving all the town's temples is being held. With this double shields, the labyrinth has been restricted from encroaching the city's underground."
I see.
Still, I thought the temple and magicians look like they're on bad term.
"I understand what you're thinking. For the temple and magicians who are in bad terms to cooperate together so quickly, it's because of the earl's edict. Even so, this quick isolation of the labyrinth is thanks to the fast report of magician Zena."
"That was thanks to Satou-san giving priority to reporting."
Then, me and Zena-san's concession and credit passing continued, but the white-haired official and the commander skillfully dealt with it. If left alone, I don't know how long it would continue... GJ white-haired official.
"That's why, As long as the barrier is seriously maintained, the labyrinth won't endanger the city. Have you understand that?"
"Yes, I'm relieved."
What a relief. Since I'm afraid if the inn collapse while I'm asleep!
