I decided to step further into the realm of the Demon King's Castle Underground Labyrinth, with little time left between the members I would accompany.

The journey time to the Imperial Castle was even shorter than before.

Since the end of the war and since this' Demon King Castle area 'ceased to be the sphere of power of Demon King Gandalf, the transportation infrastructure connecting the original stronghold on the human side, Fortress Hollow Bottom, with the new stronghold of Demon King Castle, continues to be dramatically developed precisely with the momentum of daily progress.

Among other things, the shortest route connecting the two bases was maintained as a top priority, leaving in the morning by horseback or carriage, so that the more horses could be exchanged at a number of relay points, the more they could arrive by night.

Interestingly enough, it was the Dwarves who preceded this dungeon who ran the station building at the relay point.

In order to recover from the loss of burning the town by the Demon King's Army, he said it was doing business for humans to earn Westland's currency and use it to fund the reconstruction of the town.

I guess kingdoms and guilds, knowing that, are also entrusting their work as some kind of support.

As well, the time has come to pass through the castle town, where commerce for humans has increased, to stay overnight at the Demon King's Castle, under the control of the Golden Tooth Knights, and finally take a trip to the lower realm -

"Um... you don't get lost on the way"

Erica leaks an anxious voice as she walks through a dim labyrinth compared to the outside.

This time the companions are a total of six: Sakura, Nagi and Melissa from the adventurers, Erica from the general public and Garnett and Mark from the Knights.

Hilde, a Knights member, is leaving a message simply because he has a work of architectural work entanglement at headquarters.

"'Cause it's okay. I know exactly how to get to the next tier. Unless you're on your way."

I didn't mean to say anything particularly threatening, but they took it as a warning never to deviate, and Erica has pulled her lips together all the time to pack her distance from me.

In fact, it is not immediately dangerous where it deviates.

With adventurers wandering around the regular route, it's unlikely that demons will come across anything first, and most of those adventurers are regular stores or Travis' men.

So there's no danger if you don't walk well with Darkless Arrow Cod - until you get through the labyrinth.

"Hey White Wolf's. Don't go too deep this time."

Reiterate the major premise of our role as Garnett grabs and pulls my clothes from across.

"I know. I'm not going as an adventurer."

Until Noir escaped, there was no one to tread and return to the 'Millennium Corridor of Naruto'.

'Demon King Castle Realm' spreading ahead of you through it.

The place we're headed is deeper than these.

When I say that I am not inspired by my willingness and curiosity when I have lived as an adventurer, I lie.

But I intend to understand my position and role properly now.

I'm not stupid enough to do what I stepped over the realm until I bothered everyone else.

- Besides, the underground labyrinth movement was smoother than I imagined.

The route is complicated, but the route is completely mapped, and landmarks indicating the direction of travel are also placed here and there.

It was enough to say that there was absolutely no element of stray along the way, as the hidden passages, which would otherwise be difficult to find, were fixed in a fully open state.

Eventually, we reach the spiral staircase of the great descent.

As she descended the spiral staircase along the inner wall of the hollow tower, Erica raised her surprise when she looked out the window with no door open to the wall.

"Hey, what is it, this! Not at all like" Demon King Castle Realm "......!

"... I knew dungeon exploration would be flavorful at this moment"

The sight that was spreading outside the window was the opposite of the 'Demon King's Castle area', made up of rocky mountains and wilderness on one side.

Beneath the dark night sky are gentle green forests and mountains, covering several percent of the surface with various underground lakes, large and small, connecting them with countless rivers.

It's fun to whisper, cold areas rich in water resources and greenery.

"Wait a minute, huh? If the basement of" Demon King Castle Realm "is this, was the underground lake where Falcon fell also somewhere in this hierarchy...?

Previously, the brave Falcon, modified and manipulated by the Dragon Man at the hands of the Demon King's Army, launched a raid on the Hollow Bottom Fortress under construction.

At that time, his prioritization of resentment against me became an escape play for the fortress itself, and developed into a one-on-one battle deep beneath the basement of ancient ruins.

I saw the settlement by eventually [disassembling] the floor of the ruins and dropping them into the lower hierarchy, but I guess the underground lake I saw then was the lake of this hierarchy.

"I mean, where are we! Where are we now!? I'm looking down from so high!

Sakura speaks calmly so that she can forgive the confused Erica.

"Probably like a tower that runs from the ceiling of this hierarchy to the surface. I don't know who made it, but it's a big deal."

"It doesn't collapse on the way, does it? It's okay, right?!? Hey, hey, manager!

"Well...... I tried [analyzing] it, but it doesn't look like it's physically brittle. I don't know if the area around Garnett gets busted... but it hurts!

We get to the bottom of the tower, calming Erica, full of anxiety, even with a small flank poked by the garnet.

Just take a step outside the tower and you'll get a completely different feeling of air than the upper level 'Demon King's Castle area'.

Cool enough to even feel chilly when worn thin, with earthy, green smells and moderate humid air.

So much so that we're going to lose sight of the fact that this place is deep underground.

I also feel like this was the case on the lakeside of the Great Forest, which extends near my hometown village, in the season as long as summer was over.

"Looks like the camp for the preceding adventurer party is over there. Let's rendezvous."

Nagi discovers the lights of the camp.

No matter how quiet it looks, we're in the middle of a dungeon.

It is not what we know where the Warcraft is lurking, nor can we ignore the existence of the temper found in the report.

Anyway, I consider that rendezvous should be a top priority and decide to go straight for the camper.

Step up a hill covered in tall grass and step into a camp lined with several tents (tents) on a spectacular high ground.

- It was as if it were a field hospital.
