"You're serious!"(Benwood)
Next morning, Benwood and Mamaru were waiting for us when we entered the ...... cavernous basement of the Adventurers' Guild.
The guild was empty, as if it had been cleared out.
Judging from the situation, Benwood and Mamaru seemed to be planning to let us go.
"The rescue transmission is still going on. But from the content of the delivery, it is expected to be quite dangerous. Are you still going?"(Mamaru)
"Of course. If we leave now, we'll be disqualified as adventurers."(Yuki)
Mamaru chuckles at my words.
"You are stubborn, just like that person. Have a good day, Yuki."(Mamaru)
"Yes, ......!"(Yuki)
(TL: My reader sense say that person will be very important for the story)
I bowed lightly to Mamaru and turned to Benwood.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Benwood."(Yuki)
"I've given up on stopping you. Instead, come back safely. The sealing process will wait until then."(Benwood)
I knew it.
The decision of the state and the governing body would have been to request the guild to make a decision to seal the area immediately.
"Follow the theory of the labyrinth strategy dungeon work. It's not just you or Jamie that you're carrying on your back."(Benwood)
"I know that."(Yuki)
Benwood's gaze is fixed on Marina and the others following behind me.
I think I understand what you're saying.
I've got my priorities straight.
"I also found out from Jamie that there is a collapse in the stairwell area. You may not be able to proceed properly."(Benwood)
"Yeah, that thing, ....... I think I can handle it."(Yuki)
"Hmm?"(Benwood)
Assuming that Marina's guess from the colorless darkness was correct, Rain and I tried to sort out the color of the nature of that labyrinth again.
Perhaps, but "Colorless Darkness" is a labyrinth that starts from a common area, such as a staircase, and makes you leap-skip to a number of other areas - other worlds.
And that is determined by us and the subconscious of the labyrinth, isn't it?
The most difficult dungeon, the deepest place ......, the people who conquered this labyrinth twenty years ago must have challenged it with such a sense of tension.
I am sure that all of them, including Benwood and Mamaru, must have had the thought that there must be dozens of levels.
If "Colorless Darkness" responded to the subconscious of such a group, ...... that would have been the depth that would have satisfied everyone who politely took on the challenge.
In particular, this was the time when the labyrinth had been observed to be as abnormal as this one during the previous survey.
It is highly possible that the characteristics of the Colorless Darkness as a labyrinth were appearing as abnormalities.
To some extent, this is supported by the video feed left by Jamie.
Simon and his team had reached the stairway area to the third level "just one level down".
This indicates that ...... the Abyss Gate's original characteristic is the power to reach the place you seek, Rain and I concluded.
So we were looking for anomalies, and we ended up on the most anomalous floor, the Grey Field,......, and Simon, who was following us, caught up with us right away.
This time, we are going to use it to get us to Jamie.
So we decided to make sure that everyone was very conscious that we were looking for Jamie.
...... Needless to say, we were all going to do that.
"A hypothesis is a hypothesis. Do you really want to bet on something so uncertain?"(Benwood)
Benwood twisted his head as he listened to my explanation.
It may be difficult for Benwood, who sacrificed many of his friends to reach the end of the line, to accept this.
"If it doesn't work out, it'll go on as usual. I have friends to support me."(Yuki)
"No, I believe you. You're his nephew, after all."(Benwood)
(TL: We got our second clue)
Benwood nodded significantly.
"Oh. Have a safe trip. I'll have a rescue team stay in the Great Hollow for three days. Return as soon as you feel something is wrong."(Benwood)
"Yeah, and get me some sake and snacks to celebrate, too. ...... Let's go, everyone."(Yuki)
I turned around after a quick chat and everyone nodded their heads.
Their faces were full of determination, motivation, and confidence.
Not long ago, I had thought that these girls were somewhat unreliable and still in their infancy, but now they made me feel at ease.
I guess people grow up a lot faster than you think.
(TL: So does you harem)
"The formation will continue as before. The line will stay the same, but I'll be in front of the stairway area, so be careful."(Yuki)
Of all of them, I'm the one who knows Jamie best, I'm the one who regrets over her situation the most, and I'm probably the one who misses her the most.
I don't know at what point The Colorless Darkness manages the leap skip, or even if it reflects the will of the individual, but it's worth a try.
"Nene. Take care and go. I hope you can be of use to Yuki-san"(Mamaru)
"Yes, Maam!"(Nene)
Nene bowed her head nervously at Mamaru's words.
By contract, Nene was not obligated to come along on this rescue.
Her job was originally a temporary spot for an investigation request, which has already been fulfilled.
And yet, Nene is willing to come along just to help us. I'm really grateful for that.
"Take it easy, girls. Don't be too hard on yourselves, because Yuk is a bit of a loose cannon."(Benwood)
Marina and the others laughed at Benwood.
"But Yuki is our leader!"(Silk)
"We'll fill in the gaps."(Marina)
"We'll take care of Yuk."(Rain)
Each of them responded to Benwood and turned to me.
With that as a signal, we headed for the entrance of the Colorless Darkness.
The approaching pitch-black entrance dredged up memories.
The Grey Field, Simon and the others' surprise attack, and the annihilation of Thunderpike.
Almost everything that we, Clover, had never experienced before had happened here.
Still, the fact that we were able to move forward here without breaking down or being afraid was proof that we were united as a party.
So I'm not afraid either.
"This party, ......, we, Clover, will be fine."(Yuki)
I'm sure we can save Jamie and come back here.
"Okay, let's start the live feed. Let's the adventure begin!"(Yuki)
