After searching the 77th layer and defeating all the demons, Bell and his team switched their objective to searching for treasure chests.

"Hey, Sylphy, don't you think we can find more treasure chests if we search after the 87th layer, where the heroes have given up, rather than here, where the heroes have already searched? Is it better to proceed quickly to the 87th layer?"

I was a collector of treasure chests in the game, so I tried to get all the treasure chests as much as possible and searched for treasure chests as hard as I could after the 50th layer, which is not crowded with many people.

There are no strategy books, nor are there any items scattered in the labyrinth that are necessary to advance to the next level. Is it really necessary to search for treasure chests in a vacuum? Maybe it's because I've come to a different world, a fantasy world, but I feel like I'm bound by the customs of the game.

"Well - I wonder about ......? I think Yuta is right, since it would take a normal adventurer a long time to explore a single layer. But Yuta has Bell and the others, so he can finish exploring one layer in a day. Considering the possibility of finding a magic wand in the treasure chests we missed, it won't be a problem if we search carefully, will it?"

"Ah, that's one way to look at it."

It is a basic principle of RPGs that treasure chests that are missed contain important items. And if you miss it, you can't go there again, and you've accidentally updated your save data, and now you're wondering if you should start all over again. When I missed a summoner of a famous game, I cried half-heartedly and had to start over. It's a sad but good memory.

I'm getting ...... a complete game brain. I'm thinking based on the game, even though I say it's different from the game. There is no place in this labyrinth that I can't go back to now, and I don't have any problem to go ahead quickly, but if I go ahead quickly, I feel that I keep worrying about the treasure chests that I missed.

If I had searched seriously for the treasure chest there, I might have already got all kinds of magic wands... I've been worrying endlessly about something that I can't even think about. As Sylphy said, searching in detail will only prolong our stay in the labyrinth for a few days, so let's just keep on searching for the treasure chests. I was feeling that the labyrinth is a piece of cake, but now that I'm bound to it, I'm feeling a strange pressure. The king of spirits is to be feared.

"I'll just keep moving forward while searching for the treasure chests.

"Hmmm, okay."

Sylphy responds with a light laugh.

"Did you find it interesting?"

"Yes, it was fun. Yuta thinks too much. One moment he looks sad, then serious, the next he looks nostalgic, then he laughs, it's like he has a hundred faces.

Your thoughts are still on your face. I'm trying to fix it, but I can't. Well, I'll just say I'm glad I'm not thinking of pornographic things. While chatting with Sylphy, I use the spikes that Tulu made for me to go through the icy land.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Gina and the others are okay? I don't think it will be a problem since Dolly is with us, but I'm a little worried since we are in the labyrinth this time. I know they are close to each other, so they are not fighting, but are they doing anything reckless? Are they eating properly? 

"Don't worry so much, Dolly's with them, and Gina and the kids will be fine."

I didn't say anything. I just know.

"You know what I mean." 

...... You're totally reading my facial expressions. I'd believe it if you told me you could read my mind. I think our relationship might have reached the level of a married couple.

"I found it!

While I was talking with Sylphy, Flair came back with a happy smile on his face. Flare was at the top of the list this time.

"That's great! Flair is the best this time!

"Of course I did!"

Oh, he's looking so full of himself. He's very happy.

What kind of treasure chest was it?

"It was silver."

A silver treasure chest. A magic wand may be difficult to find, but it's a treasure. Let's summon the others and go check it out.

.................. Flare found a treasure chest that contained an advanced recovery potion, an advanced magic restoration potion, and an advanced antidote. I haven't used potions so far, but it's exciting to get these medicines.

I've never used potions before, but it's exciting to get these medicines.

We spent a whole day, layer by layer, searching for treasure chests in the icy land. I got one gold treasure chest, three silver treasure chests, and one wooden treasure chest. Considering that most of them were buried in the ice, it is possible that the heroes found some of them but did not take them.

We are the first ones to find the gold treasure chests, since they would not have left them there. And no magic wand, of course. At this rate, we were beginning to wonder how long it would take to reach the sanctuary. Let's hope for a bonus stage that our heroes haven't explored.

"Well, I'm going to dive into the 80th layer. The boss this time is the Great Emperor Bird. It's a bit bigger than a normal Emperor Bird, and it's said to spit out a snowstorm of ice from its mouth. I heard that it has golden fur on its belly, but I wonder what it looks like."

I will tell Bell and the others about the characteristics of the Great Emperor Bird as described in the book. From a zoo point of view, I am interested in the Great Emperor Bird because it is a size larger than even a large Emperor Bird and has a golden belly. But it would be hard to fight if it were cute. If possible, I'd like them to come at me in a ferocious way.

"Hmm, that sounds interesting. But Yuta will be wearing the natural armor that Belle and her friends are so proud of, so it should be a piece of cake for him.

Sylphy's sudden betrayal. I look at Sylphy with a horrified expression on my face, and his expression is horribly unchanged. I guess that's the perfect poker face. The Belles look aghast, as if Sylphy's words have reminded them of the betrayal.

"Bosu! 

I had completely forgotten about it during the treasure hunt, but now I remembered it perfectly. I was going to go into battle without a fight. ....... I was not going to be able to escape from the boss since he had promised to use his natural armor against me.

Belle and the others are staring at me with sparkling eyes. They will be shocked beyond measure if I refuse. If they think that adults lie easily, and if they get upset, it might be ...... cute to see the delinquent-style Belles.

"Yuta?"

"Hmm? Ah, nature's armor. Then I want you to go downstairs and meet me in front of the boss's room.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best.

Belle and her friends are all worked up. I'm a little nervous about what the six lowly spirits will be able to create ....... And as if in inverse proportion to my uneasiness, Sylphy's mood is getting better. Her expression doesn't change, but I can tell. Sylphy surely sold me out for his own pleasure. I go down the stairs with a little bit of fear, because of her lack of hesitation.

"coo coo coo!"

When I arrived at the boss's room, Tamamo was trying to make some kind of appeal to me. No, I don't understand.

"He says he wants me to put out a leaf for his helmet..."

Bell translated for me. I see ...... that Tamamo is in charge of helmets when it comes to natural armor. But we don't have any plants here, so you want me to get them out of my magic bag.

"Okay."

From a thinned tree, he takes a branch that was dropped when it was made into lumber and gives it to Tamamo. The tamamo is happy, wagging its tail. He is probably happy to be able to participate in this event. 

After the preparations are finished, Bell and the others surround us in front of the magnificent boss's room. It seems that all six of them are going to make the armor of nature together. I wonder if the nature armor will be upgraded with each new contracted spirit. But I don't have that much room on my body. Where are the flare and moon attributes going to be attached?

"Cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu."

"The armour of the rock."

"Man of the wind."

"Koo-koo-koo (green armor)."

"Hinoyaba."

"............"

""""""shizen no yoroi (kyukyuu) (kukyuu) (......) """"""

Nature's Armor ver.3 is attached to my body with the call of the belles. Well, what can I say? I don't know what to do, so I look at Sylphy, who has a blank expression on her face, but she's kind of twitching. ...... no good, Sylphy is unreliable when it comes to natural armor.

The only thing that has increased this time is ...... the curved fire blades that grow outward from both arms and legs? I mean, why grow blades on armor? Oh, by the way, there is a famous game that has an armor that damages the opponent when attacked by the enemy.

"Flare, what will happen to this fire blade?

"If you defend yourself, you can cut it off!"

Flare is so good at this stuff. It seems that the fire blade will not protect him, but at least we know what it is for. When I asked him about it in detail, it seems that he wanted to add an offensive aspect to the defense. So the fire spirits are active in the field of defense as well. It's an unusual armor, but it's even more colorful.

But I don't feel any heat when I hold the ...... fire blade close to my face. It seems to be well adjusted. So I can scratch my head and not feel heat.

"Well, I understand. I don't know who's in charge of Moon, what's changed?"

Moon is pulling like crazy, but of course he doesn't understand.

"I put a recovery on Rein's water. I'm no longer tired!"

Think about what Belle said: ...... did you make Rain's water garment have a restorative effect? If you don't get tired, does that mean you regain your strength too? ...... It's a modest but amazing effect.

"That's a great effect! Thank you all."

The belles cackle at my words. I know this kind of praise is one of the reasons why they like using the nature armor, but I can't help but praise them when I see them looking at me like they've done their best.

"Okay, I'm going into the boss's room. Now that everyone has put on their armor, I'm going to do my best on my own, so please support me.

Ouensuuu, kyuukyu, go for it, kukukyu, kiai! ......"

He waves his hand at the words of Bell and the others and opens the door to the boss's room. Sylphy, by the way, is still shaking her shoulders, so I leave her alone. Once inside, we see the boss as described in the book in the large icy field.

The Great Emperor Bird...... is certainly a size larger than the Emperor Bird. And the feathers on its belly are golden and fluffy. I want to take a nap on its belly. And it's a nuisance because it's so big and yet so cute. It's a little sad to think of putting a hammer to that boss now.
