"Hey, there's too many soldiers in here.

If you can't achieve your goal, you've decided to give up on it and withdraw from the dungeon.

Thanks to the fact that I ignored the monsters, I'm advancing quite quickly.

But as you approach the entrance, the speed is steadily slowing down as you see more and more professional soldiers instead of explorers and adventurers.

Lord, why do you hide from that lot? Why don't we just f*ck them without them noticing?

"I have to do something about your Search-and-Assassin thinking first, don't I? Even if they were, they belong to the same organization. If you kick him out, you'll put me in a bad position later.

"Is that what it's all about?

If you hide your wings, you'll look like an ordinary woman, but Himik tilted his head at my words.

I wondered if the supervisor, a demon, was able to hide her wings and take the form of an ordinary human woman at first glance, but as I expected, the fallen angel Himiku was also able to hide her wings.

At first I wondered how to hide these prominent wings: ......

"Can you hide your wings?

"You can do it.

The problem was solved in an instant when I asked her honestly.

Himik is now a seemingly normal human woman.

It's allowed her to keep a low profile.

Stop.

Feeling a presence, he made a hand sign to stay in place for a moment, then listened and saw a group of people passing by with their armor clanking in the distance.

The unit that passed through the alley in front of them was probably also a dungeon core, probably an army formed to look for this guy.

If they're moving personnel around so openly, is the other side finally running out of time?

I'm starting to get impatient with their intentions.

Is this finally happening?

It is a reminder that no matter what you do, you will get it done, and if you get close to them, trouble is inevitable.

If the Self-Defense Forces or the police in Japan find us, they'll be lenient in letting us off the hook.

There's no doubt that they'll capture us.

Maybe they'll take a shot at our lives.

I'm more than confident that we can win if we fight, but the fact that we're fighting here is not good.

Of course, you'll have to take your life, but the mere fact that you beat him could lead to an arrest warrant.

That's why I'm trying to stay under the radar.

For now, just shut up and follow me.

"Lord, those words, like a confession of love, flashed through my mind for a moment.

I take it back. Don't talk, don't do anything, just walk.

For some reason, you feel distracted for a moment, even though Himik has warned you not to do anything unnecessary.

You have to endure this and think of a solution as you head for the dungeon's exit.

It would still help if the other party would at least listen to you, but in addition to the way the troops are moved, it would be useless to expect it considering the way the explorer's guild deals with them and the character of the administrator of this dungeon that you hear about.

If the instructors and supervisors are here, they can be persuaded, but we can't start asking for what we can't have.

We'll just have to do what we can: ...... What do you think, Mr. Might?

...... There are almost soldier-like beings in the main entrances and exits. Not only in the explorer's guild, but also in the adventurer's guild.

From the exit stage, I've had the perimeter spotted by Meitte, who tells me the situation through the spirit's vision.

It's not only a matter of time before they find you, but also of time before you find them.

It's only a matter of time before it's found: ...... Mr. Gray, do you have a better idea?

"I can escape in a fog, but that's not good enough, is it?

"I'm a human being, I can't do that.

"Neither can the dark elves.

"I'm a fallen angel, too.

"Then we'll have to think of another way, although it's still possible if we can use transference magic.

Can you use it, Mr. Myitt?

"Unfortunately, I can't use spatial magic.

I can use it.

Really, Mr. Gray?

I can't either.

"Lord, that's why I'm available.

"Okay, okay, what did you just say to me at ......?

"I don't care how much the Lord treats me, it's too much for me to be angry. I'm going to be very angry with you.

"Not so, before that.

So you can do transference magic. I've said it a thousand times.

"......

"What's wrong Lord, look at me so intently

"No, it's nothing.

For a moment, I was about to say that everyone has their own merit, but then I was able to quickly shut up.

I had assumed that Himik couldn't use transference magic because I thought I could only fight.

Is this what narrowing of vision is all about?

It's not a good idea to make judgments based on first impressions.

Well, that's something to work with.

"Hmm, I can go anywhere I know.

"......

"What's up Lord?

Does ...... have to be a place you know? Do I know any place or something?

"What are you saying, Lord, it is I who use transference magic. How can I move to a place known to the Lord without knowing that I am the one who uses it?

"Yeah, you're right. You're right. So where can you go?

The only place I can go now is the Temple of the Sun God, the former Lord. In any case, I don't know where else I can go because the coordinates have all been changed due to being in the dungeon core for so long.

"Not useful.

"You can make a transition with reference to historical data, but ......

"You want to do it?

"If there's a new building on the spot, it's going to be buried in it, is that okay?

I don't mind.

But the world was not such an easy place to find delicious stories.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's wondering, but I was wrong to ask an ignorant question.

And what Himiku says is only natural.

We're from outside, but this guy has been in the dungeon for nearly 300 years.

Information is bound to deteriorate after such a long time.

Of course he couldn't know what's outside the dungeon now.

It would be strange to know.

Then there's nothing we can do but force our way through.

If transference isn't an option, couldn't we just run so fast that no one would be able to recognize us?

You can do it.

"What?

I remember reading an old comic strip about a protagonist moving at the speed of light to avoid combat, and I said it, and I understand that it is difficult to build a foundation.

But it would make the situation better if it were possible.

It's not just about hiding and getting away with it.

Moving at a perceived or imperceptible speed is also a reversal of thinking, possible or not.

She was only half joking when she said she could do it, but now she says she can.

This time it's that or the fact that you can't use it because you'll be minced if you fail?

Lord, I have a pretty good idea what you're going to say with that look on your face, but I'm a d*mn good guardian angel. Lord, I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself and move on without saying a word. I can do this with time-accelerating magic, traveling at speeds the Lord says are imperceptible.

I'm sure it's possible to use spacetime magic, but if it's going to be an acceleration technique to a realm that can't be perceived by ...... this number of people, it's going to require a certain amount of magical power, right?

Time acceleration magic.

There's a spell that I didn't know about, but as far as I can tell from the name, I'm guessing it's a spell that accelerates perceived time.

"No problem. For a short period of time, let alone a long one, my magic power alone is enough.

I think for a moment when Himikku asks me how I feel about it, but I don't see any problems with it.

I'm sure there's no doubt that it's an upwardly compatible version of body strengthening.

I've been using it daily, so I'm confident it's a little powerful enough to handle it.

Myitt's fears seemed to be unfounded, and since no other problems were raised, we did it: ......

"My joints, my joints creak.

"Mm-hmm.

It seems to have been more intense than we expected,

As it turned out, we escaped the dungeon without incident.

The time-accelerating spell Himikku used dramatically increased our speed of thought to the point where we thought the whole thing was extremely slowed down.

The soldiers checking on us only noticed a slight breeze as we passed by.

After passing quickly, we left the entrance of the dungeon and are now resting in an alleyway.

Even though they think you're in the dungeon and don't pay attention to the outside of the dungeon, this is indeed the magic of one of the angels created directly by God.

It was very effective, though.

"You're pathetic, Lord, with that level of enhancement.

"Later, Shivak

Why?

The repercussions were also immense.

Maneuvering outside the impossible perceptual realm beyond the limits.

Even if there was no problem visually, I still hadn't built a body that could move in that area.

Even though I quickly strengthened my body by circulating magic power on the spur of the moment, my body, which hadn't been creaking recently, was screaming.

It didn't do any complicated movements such as fighting, but simply running, which is why it's easy to see how fast I moved.

To be honest, it's not quite a sonic boom, but a gust of wind wouldn't be surprising, but this fallen angel must have done something.

I was able to run through safely without crashing into the wall of air.

However, I promised myself that next time I would give this fallen angel thorough instruction to not think by my own standards.

Mr. Gray, Mr. Mightt, can you move?

Yes, I think I can handle it.

Here, too.

Then we should move quickly. If we stay here and are found, there's no point in getting out.

"Where to?

We should probably be on alert at the gates, so let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first.

Now that we're able to move, we start moving again to stay out of sight.

Even though our attention is on the dungeon, we believe that the city is more alert than usual, and this is why we are doing this.

In fact, my prediction was correct as I passed the patrol unit that created a tense atmosphere for the second time.

"d*mn, why do I have to be careful of my people?

The fact that the position of the dungeon tester is not yet fully recognized and the current state of affairs, where the perception of humans is fixed in a bad image, is probably the reason why this has happened.

You want to let out a sigh, but you have to move your feet first.

After a few words, you concentrate on your surroundings and proceed with caution.

"Oh, you guys are okay!

When I finally entered the adventurer's guild, the place was much more crowded than it had been at first.

It's fortunate that I ran into Amyricia at just the right time in a space where you would have a hard time finding someone.

The other side has noticed you and is approaching at a fast pace.

It's a little more crowded than when I came here.

It's no use. I got the order from my lord all of a sudden. We were in trouble. A mutant monster has appeared in the dungeon, so adventurers aren't allowed to enter the dungeon until the investigation is finished, so I had to stop adventurers from entering and all the adventurers inside were kicked out. Thanks to this, the request was abandoned and a penalty fee was incurred, and I'll probably lose a few clients because of this. ...... Haha, what a nightmare.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Amilicia's face is a complete change from the previous day, and she's so depressed that she's despairing of the world.

Looking around, everyone is drinking and complaining as if to relieve their anger.

It's probably a so-called desperation drink.

I glanced at Himik, the being touted as a mutant, but he didn't seem to have changed.

"Amyricia, will you have time for this soon?

What's that, a date? Normally I'd say no with a smile, but I'm out of stock of smiles right now. I have a mountain of paperwork to deal with afterwards, so I won't be able to give you a date.

You think it's a new reaction to be rejected when you didn't ask, but you laugh at the words with a wry smile, and you're running out of time, so you cut to the chase.

I'm not, I mean, don't you want to know what's going on in the dungeon?

Along with the adventurers, even the desperate Amyricia's expression changes immediately at my words.

What's going on?

At least that's what happened that I can't talk about here.

I'll let the guildmaster hear about it at ....... I'll let the guildmaster know. Is that okay?

It would help me a lot if you did. Also, can you contact the center of the Demon King's Army?

I'm sure the Guildmaster would have a connection, though it's up to you whether he'd do it or not.

"Yes, sir.

I won't take up too much of your time. Just wait here.

I see Amyricia off into work mode.

"I hope this makes things a little better,

"Sounds like a lot of work, Lord.

Whose fault is it, whose fault is it?

While being comforted by the cause, Himik, I lamented in my heart that I didn't get the materials I needed after all.

Word of the Day

Plan changes are inevitable or ......
