CHAPTER 77 LUCIOS DUNGEON

Nadia is running inside a giant labyrinth.

The labyrinths walls are made of wooden planks, and made that there would be doors every several steps.

Nadia opens the doors and advances one next to the other, but.

Isnt this a dead end too!

That place she entered after opening the door was a space that was like a small room.

Nadia immediately turned back, returned to the last, last door, and went to a different route.

Only 30 seconds left desu wa

Do your best, Nadia-chan

Girls voices could be heard from the sky.

Veronicas were with a tone that was enjoying and making her rush, and Sylvias were purely cheering after her best friend.

30 seconds?! Awawawa, what should I do, what should I do

Hearing the time limit, Nadia increased her running speed more and more.

She opened the door, and advanced.

She opened the door, and turned back.

She opened the doorand plunged into the water.

Its finished huh

Nadia-chan, so close

When Nadia who plunged into the water left from there, the size of her body returned to normal.

To Nadia who was drenched, Sylvia ran carrying a towel.

And wiping her head with that, Nadia looked at the giant labyrinths model beside her.

In the corner of the miniature sized giant labyrinth, the door that was left open was moving, with the lake(puddle of water) that has ripples ahead.

And right next to that.

Ah, isnt it the goal after I go to the right!

Un, it was the last door

Ohh, so frustrating. I almost made it

Well then, I shall go next alright. Lucio

Alright

Watching from a little distance, I answered.

I will use two magic.

One of them would make Veronicas body smaller, and the other that would remake the structure of the miniature sized giant labyrinth.

Veronica who became little stood in the entrance, and without touching the entrance and the lake, I changed the structure of the giant labyrinth.

Im going

Then, lets start

With Sylvia, Nadia, and I watching, Veronica opened the door and jumped into the giant labyrinth.

Ah, that place is

No, Nadia-chan, you shouldnt. You shouldnt react

Sylvia covered Nadias mouth in a hurry, but Veronica who heard that made a grin, left the door that she was about to reach out to open, and entered a different door.

A giant labyrinth dungeon that is randomly generated.

And because it is random, the first door was a lake falling trap.

Nadia couldnt help but raise a voice with that, and Veronica luckily avoided it.

Its so interesting, Lucio-kun. This, its also fun advancing personally, but it also looks interesting from outside

Its something like that. Its similar to a game called Werewolf. After you were eliminated, you can watch while grinning(TL: Also known as Mafia)

Un! Youd grin right. By the way, whats Werewolf?

Lets have it for next time

Un, I got it!

Nadia made a huge nod, and went towards Sylvia.

Its Sylvies turn next huh. Lets make plans beforehand

But, it will change until before starting with Lucio-samas magic right. Then, I dont think t

hat you can have plans

Thats not true at all. I think, if you would go to the same direction from the start, you can get out. Like, always to the right, or always to the left

I-Is that true, Lucio-sama

Well, that is one of the strategies but

I heard something good

Veronica once again made a grin inside the labyrinth.

The same direction, was it. Then, if I would continuously go to the right here

Ah!

Sylvia raised a small voice.

From the two doors, Veronica who had opened the door just like she had declared, she had plunged into a lake with good momentum.

Veronica who was drenched and had returned to her original size confronted me.

Did you not say that it would be the goal if I go to the same direction?!

No, thats a strategy used when theres only one exit. This one has walls that are like an entrance right. Its just that most of it connects to a lake

Uu

Looking at the labyrinth, Veronica groaned.

She was like, understood what I said immediately, but couldnt contain her anger.

Whatever desu wa! Next, Sylvia, its your turn!

Un. Then, please take care of me, Lucio-sama

Ahh

While casting magic to Sylvia this time, I remade the labyrinth.

Sylvia entered the labyrinth. Is it because of her personality, it feels like shes very cautious opening a door.

Cautiously and carefully, she is advancing to clear the labyrinth.

Ne, Lucio. If this continues

Yeah, she would reach the time limit with no doubt

Come to think of it, what would happen after the times up?

Nadia and Veronica looked at me at the same time.

It would be faster to just look rather than explaininglook, there it is

Ahh, it would be like this huh

Wawa, Sylvie, run, run

Eh, eh, ehhhhh?

Sylvia who got little panicked.

That ishow cruel. If youre going to be chased by that, it would be better to fall into water

Veronica said her opinion.

Un, I set it like that after all.

A small bucket-like thing appeared inside the giant labyrinth.

The bucket was full of black ink, and advances through the labyrinth running by itself.

Its something that would search for the challengers who have reached their time limit and throw ink to them.

Sylvie, run away

Looking at it is very fun huh

By the way

The moment I said that, the second bucket appeared.

It increases with time

Ahh! No, Sylvie, if you go there, youd get caught betwe

Shortly after Nadias warning, Sylvia was caught by the buckets, and was covered by ink.

Sylvia who had returned was making a slightly teary face.

Uu, youre so bad, Lucio-sama

Sorry, sorry, as an apology, Ill wipe it for you

I took the towel, and made Sylvia pretty while using magic.

Yosh, you became beautiful

At the end, I kissed her on her forehead.

Whos the one next?

Veronica stared at me with squinted eyes, and Nadia was looking at the labyrinth with an excited face instead.

I will go

And, Veronica challenged for the second time.

A-re, she wouldnt move

What happened? If you dont move, the time would be up

Sylvia and Nadia thought of it strangely.

Veronica stayed in the first room after the entrance without moving.

The bucket finally came, and she was now covered in ink.

Why didnt you move?

Nadia asked Veronica who had returned strangely.

Veronica didnt answer, and moved straight towards me.

Please wipe me too

Ahh

Just like with Sylvia, I wiped her using the towel and magic.

Un, thats good

Is that all?

Veronica stared at me with squinted eyes and dissatisfaction.

Just like, you know, theres something after you wipe it off right

After I wiped off?

I wonder what it is, I tilted my head.

Un, you became beautiful. Is that it?

Eh, w-what did you say right now?

Eh? Veronica became beautiful?

Whats up with that, I thought, but.

Beautiful

Veronicas face reddened like *Puff*, and looked down.

Why?

Ah! It was like that huh

What, what, what do you mean?

Eto, in my case, it was, and in Veronica-sans case, it was, so

Sylvia whispered to Nadias ears.

I couldnt hear it well, but Nadia who heard that gradually widened her eyes.

I see! Lucio-kun, Im next!

Y-Yeah

I made Nadia who was suddenly in maximum tension small, and made her enter the labyrinth.

Is it here, or is it here. Is it time yet, hurry up and come

For some reason, without trying to clear the dungeon properly, Nadia comes and goes through rooms that were safe.

Ne, that

Yes. Doing that would make her encounter it more quickly

I see. Well, it cant be helped huh

Sylvia and Veronica, nodded at each other as if they knew what it was about.

The time was finally up, and Nadia, she charged herself to the bucket that appeared.

And Nadia who had returned.

Lucio-kun! Wipe me, wipe me, kiss me on my forehead and say that Im beautiful

I got it with that.

I looked at Sylvia and Veronica.

Sylvia looked down shyly, and Veronica acted as if nothing happened.

She wanted me to do something, and charged with it huh.

oi, oi, this wouldnt work as a game.

It wouldnt work as a game, but.

Lucio-kun, hurry!

Looking at Nadias appearance that makes me hurry with an excited smile, Well, whatever, I thought.
