Excalibur is swung down with a mighty swing, aiming at my brain.

But just before it hits, a shadow appears in front of me like a gale.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

"You are an apprentice of the Demon King Takumi!

You're a million years too young to be fighting with Takumi.

Between me and the brave end, Leia was interrupted in an instant. She is still carrying Chihar on her back.

Both of us put strength into our swords and begin to press the brim with each other.

''Don't think that the Holy Sword Excalibur can be received by such a katana.

When End put more power into it, Excalibur shone and began to emit a strong light.

''Haaaaaah, Kouhazan!

The dark dungeon was illuminated by Excalibur's light.

He was probably going to cut off both sides of Leia's entire katana.

But Leia has a spare expression on her face and is catching Excalibur.

''What's wrong?'' Is this the extent of Excalibur?

That's not possible! The Holy Sword's power can only be accepted by the Holy Sword! No way!

Leia smiled and muttered.

'It's the Holy Sword Masamune,'

Two of the world's three great holy swords are in this place.

The other holy sword, Takumikalibur, is just a cheap sword, so these two are practically the holy swords complete.

Since the two holy swords and Leia and End's power are also at odds, both of them stare at each other without moving in front of the open door, with their swords pressed together.

''This Holy Sword Masamune, when I was in training ......

Not good. Leia fights and tries to start a long, seemingly lengthy recollection of the past.

Now he has to find out, as soon as possible, the identity of the foreign presence he feels from inside the door.

'Hey, I'm sorry.'

It was when Leia and End were about to squat down and enter the doorway through the gap between their swords together.

The right elbow hits End's chest with a plop.

''Hee-hah,''

Suddenly, End let out a pretty voice and tingled, holding his chest down.

Poppycock.

It was very, very plump.

I'm left with an indescribably happy feeling on my right elbow, like I can't believe I've hit a man's chest.

"You might be ......

End glares at you once, and you stop talking.

For some reason, you're keeping it a secret.

I feel sorry for him, so I'll keep it quiet.

'As expected of you, Takumi. With just a touch, you beat a brave man with whom I was struggling in an instant. This is Takumi-san's secret technique.

Yeah, you got it. You got it.

If I told him it was really just s*xual harassment, he'd cut me off.

'Now is not the time for a fight, either of you. Do you feel anything in the room?

The two finally turn their attention there to the room.

'......! This is a sign.

Takumi.

Leia and End also notice the alien presence.

I nod silently and we all walk into the room.

A room made of stone.

There was nothing else there but torn off chains splattered across the floor.

That's right. Alice was standing alone in this empty room.

Alone? Are you sure you were alone?

At that time ten years ago, the one person who was visible for sure was Alice alone.

When I met her, young Alice didn't speak human language, she was crawling on all fours and barking like a beast.

She walked into the room and turned to me?

Wrong. Alice was barking in a different direction the whole time.

It wasn't barking, it was talking.

When we met, there was something unseen next to Alice when she met me.

"I knew it was still here.

It was Chihar on Leia's back who said that.

Instead of the usual child's voice, it's been replaced with an adult's voice.

He jumps off Leia's back and walks to the back of the room with a stalwart.

It soon comes to a dead end, and Chiharu stands there, staring at the wall in front of him.

Ten years ago, when we came here, we were too busy protecting Alice to examine this room.

What was Nuruhachi's purpose in coming to the Demon King's Labyrinth?

Chiharu has the answer to that question.

I can't help but think of it that way.

I've been staring at the wall, and Chiharu pointed both hands at the wall.

"Release (release)

As soon as Chiharu muttered a blur, light flooded from both hands.

That light spreads out towards the wall, and the wall disappears as if it were melting.

Gulping, I gulp.

Leia and End also stare beyond the vanished wall without making a sound.

There was a new room.

The room was filled with blue flowers.

And surrounded by those flowers, a huge block of ice, like a pillar, stood in the center of the room.

For a moment, it was such a fantastic sight that I forgot that this was a dungeon deep underground.

''That thing!''

Leia speaks up.

I'm so surprised I can't even speak.

She's there, asleep, in a block of ice.

She is a stark figure, her hands crossed as if to hug herself, hiding her breasts.

The lower half of her body was obscured by her extended hair, making her look mysterious.

'Why are you here ......?'

Finally, I check it out aloud.

No doubt this face is ......

Nuruhachi.

The Nuruhachi who had fought Alice and was said to be dead was there.

He stood there, stunned by too much.

Neither Leia nor End moves as they stare at the Nuruhachi in the ice.

Among them, only Chiharu walks up to it and touches the ice.

'No. This is not a Nuruhachi.

His voice trembled a little.

Whether it was anger or sadness, Chihar was staring at Nurhachi in the ice with a complicated expression.

''This is the Demon King. It's the main body of the Demon King with its soul missing.''

Alice, Nuruhachi, the Demon King, and me.

Something clicked.

After ten years, the gears that had stopped now began to turn.
