Chapter 65


“Why is there a door in such a place?”


I approached instinctively and steadily looked at the door .


“Master, what happened?”


“No, there is a door here . ”


“Door, is it? Where is it?”


Amy looked around restlessly disregarding the door in front of her .


It’s rare for Amy to say a joke .


“Haha, that is an interesting joke . Isn’t in front of you?”


“……I’m terribly sorry, master . It seems that there is a door which isn’t visible to my eyes . ”


Amy’s eyes seemed to be very sad . She seemed to really not see it .


“What went wrong? Aren’t you returning above ground?”


Everybody came over here in succession .


“There is a door, do you see it?”


All the members had the same answers of “I don’t see a door” .


Impossible, is it a door which only I can see?


It’s becoming scary, I grasped the doorknob .


Then…


“What, it was really there . ”


“You can see the door!?”


“You, what did you do this time?”


Everybody had came to see it, too . However, aren’t Sai’s words terrible?


“However, what is this door?”


It seems to disappear to everyone when my hand separates from the doorknob .


I had asked Zir to check the other side of the door, but she said that it was just rock .


“Probably, the door is the work of magic . Is a person who passes through the door made to transfer somewhere?”


The stairs for the return have already appeared . In other words, this door was completely outside the norm .


“How should we do this?”


It was the labyrinth of a dragon here . The labyrinth that the dragon had prepared should be up to the lower layer .


In other words, this door may lead to the staff room .


Then, it could be said that a dragon may be ahead of this door .


The labyrinth, particularly the lower layer, has become tattered and they might resent that .


“Should I not go?”


The purpose of this labyrinth search was accomplished . It might not be necessary to brave a pointless risk, either .


Though I thought so…


“Is it safe to open the door and see the inside?”


If I can see ahead of this door and it seems to be dangerous, then I can just immediately close it .


I turned the doorknob slowly and look inside timidly .


“Welcome, to the [Management Layer]”


Inside was a beautiful girl in good tailored clothes . She looked young like in her early teens .


She beckoned me with a smile .


“Who are you?”


All members came to visit while carefully passing through the door .


“I am the master of this labyrinth, Selva the Scorching Dragon . ”


Selva, if I remember correctly was the name at the entrance . However, I heard that this labyrinth was made 50 years ago .


The girl who introduced herself as Selva was too young .


When I directed a look of doubt, the female dragon nodded with a “uh-huh uh-huh” .


“That’s right, even if a young dragon like me is said to be the master of this labyrinth, I would not believe it . This labyrinth is the thing which I made at the age of around 160 years . ”


If living conditions were to be put in order, a dragon’s lifespan slightly exceeds 1000 years .


Selva seems to be a rookie at the expected tender age of 220 years . As for the making of this labyrinth, the adults of the village seemed to have considerably helped with the set-up .


“Are there only 3 groups, including you, that have been able to capture the lower layer of this labyrinth?” (Darknari: I believe Selva is talking to herself here)


Selva had a little bit of a troubled face . She apparently seemed to be dissatisfied with the number of people that were able to capture it .


“You, for the first time in 40 years are the one that traversed and mastered this labyrinth dungeon . ”


Selva expressed a joyful smile this time .


“That door is a transfer door which only appears when an adventurer who captured the lower layer has [Divine Protection] . ”


Divine protection could be succeeded from parent to child .


It seemed to be a measure to gather even a little bit of human beings with power .


“Usually when the lower layer is broken through I move that door from the lower layer, however you were quick to find the door so I have been waiting for you in the [Management Layer] . ”


If the human appeared to be promising, it seems they are invited to the [Management Layer] because of that she was laughing loudly at the time saved .


For some time her expression had been constantly changing .


The tension might have became strange at having visitors after a long absence .


“Then, I invite you to my mansion . Ah, slaves and monsters will be disposed of properly for my peace of mind . ”


“Wait, what is with the disposal thing?”


“Hm? Well, because you will become my companion, right? I am self-aware that I’m a deeply jealous person even among my race . Do you think that I could possibly be able to bear it if there are other females near you during our newly married life?”


I’m already a companion for this fellow . My opinions don’t matter .


It was the exact way of thinking of an absolute dragon king .


Though I gave a dirty look, but she likely noticed . A motion of concession has been suggested .


“Do you hate it? Then, when the newly-married life ends, will similar fellows gather?”


She doesn’t change her intention of disposing of Alya and the others .


Apparently, she doesn’t seem to be able to allow me to smell of other females .


“I don’t have any intention to become your companion . I only came to this labyrinth to make money . ”


I informed Selva that I was not interested in her dragon body but just in the treasure .


“……Would you tell me your name?


No way, I didn’t think that she would ask my name with this flow .


“Hibiki . ”


“Is that so? Hibiki, I said a while ago that I’m jealous . You know that you are already an irreplaceable existence for me?”


Selva began to talk bit by bit with a dark face .


“After seeing you neutralize the griffon in the upper layer with a strange method and making it a subordinate, I considered what to do this time while being excited . ”


“In the middle layer, I was surprised when after having gotten utterly lost in the labyrinth you had abruptly entered the [Guardian] room . ”


“When the town in the lower layer was burnt, my stomach hurt from laughing too much . As for when the goblins betrayed me in the mansion the feeling of consent was stronger than anger . If I told you to become my friend, would you end up saying yes?”


“I saw you defeat the Minotaur here . When the door appeared, I felt it was [Fate] . ”


She had been talking for a long time . Meanwhile, we moved to a place considerably away from Selva .


While speaking, Selva’s body rapidly grew larger .


She who was a cute beautiful girl was already not there any longer .


Instead there appeared a dragon which had bright red scales .


[Dragons are a race that have strong monopolistic desires . Female dragons are especially very jealous . The number one cause of death for male dragons, who have no natural enemy, is supposedly being killed by a female dragon . ]


“Say that earlier!?”


[Incidentally speaking female dragons seem to be stronger . There are various opinions for why this is, although it is likely that the tolerable amount of potential magic power is large for female dragons because a dragon may have the power of two bodies to conceive an egg . ]


The information that wasn’t wonderful also became available . This damn [Book of wisdom], wasn’t it greatly talkative?


During this expedition, I carried the Book of Wisdom .


The height was just right for a pillow when sleeping out in the open, I noticed that it had became especially difficult to crawl in with a woman at night if there was this fellow .


Indeed, there was no girl who will still act while hearing this fellow’s voice .


The story has wandered . Did I escape from reality?


When I compiled the newly available information, originally, female dragons which are jealous are stronger than the males of the same race . Damn it, she saw my behavior in the labyrinth and was pleased with it, I have to decline from being her companion by all means .


Eh? Isn’t that the worst?


The information of that [Book of wisdom] fellow doesn’t lead to one positive information .


“Surely, if these fellows are gone, will you choose me? Hibiki?”


Selva mutters lines like a yandere and approached . (TL: death by snu snu)


The aim was to attack the others and not me .


This was bad, Ayla and the others can’t bear an attack from Selva .


Attack .


If I don’t turn the interest of Selva to me .


I started running immediately and thrust the sword into Selva’s right forefoot .


I hear a *screech* sound and the tip of the sword slipped from the scales .


“Shit, no good!?”


“You must not disturb, Hibiki . ”


While saying that, the thick log-like tail attacked me .


I moved to evade it immediately, but the tail refused to go away .


“U, gah!?”


I was blown off into a tailspin . It’s power had just grazed me .


Immediately, 【Self-regeneration】 was useful .


As it was a lot of magical power was taken to recover but I somehow managed to stand up .


“Eh? You put up quite well . I thought that you wouldn’t be able to move for a while . ”


Selva said that slightly happily despite failing to bring me down .


My magical power will probably be used up in restoration if I receive about the same attack .


While Selva was preoccupied here, the goblins began the large cross bow preparations .


Ruby ran with Ayla towards me . If I can link up with Ruby, I can replenish with various potions .


The minotaur who recovered its health earlier with a potion faces Selva .


Though the minotaur wrestles with all its power and somehow managed to put Selva down, but Selva wasn’t daunted at all .


“You good for nothing hindrance . ”


Selva just shaked her body a little and the minotaur was blown off .


“Well, who to begin with first?” (TL:talk like a psychopath)


Selva looked around the surroundings and confirmed the prey .


There, the large crossbow which had finished preparations launched an arrow to attack Selva .


“Yeah, the attack that defeated the minotaur . As expected, there is only force . I have to step back slightly . ”


The arrows that hit Selva have the pointed ends of the arrowheads smashed . And the scales of Selva don’t have one wound .


“Gimme a break . ”


Sai can’t follow this situation and muttered a few words, which was in everyone’s mind .
