Chapter 60
It’s been almost 12 hours since we left for the labyrinth that was near the town .
We have been switching places as the coachman . As mutual communication was possible through Ruby, technique was unnecessary . (EN: they are using ruby to talk to the turtle)
According to the map, it should take approximately 4 hours till we arrive .
Certainly, it surely seems faster than a horse . Although it did not seem so because of its swaying stride . It feels like the approximated speed was about 20km/h, I think . (EN: 12mph)
The speed was about the same as dancing on the pedals on a bicycle .
“Ah, nevertheless it is boring . ”
First I was cautious of monsters, but eventually I stopped .
Though we saw monsters several times, but we passed by them before we were attacked . As I thought it really does seem fast .
Duo and Luo were running side by side, but I let them rest in the carriage because they got completely exhausted midway .
As Queen didn’t seem to be able to get into the carriage, it was house sitting this time . (EN: for those who don’t remember Duo and Luo are sharp wolves and Queen is an armored mantis . )
“My lord, would thee not like company to while away the time?”
Zir, who was lying down, invited me to play . As I’m free, I said ‘Ok’ .
“Then, what shalt we doth?”
As there was no helping it, I gave out a suggestion . An item for killing time was just made .
“Let’s play cards . ”
These cards were an item made by Amy, it was almost no different from the card decks which I knew of .
“Oh, that? That is what I saw you making . ”
Among all the playing card games, I decided to do [Old Maid] because of the simple rules .
Ayla was not available since she was the coachman for now, but Amy also participated and the game was started with 3 people .
Was it about one hour since we started the card game?
Though we were harmoniously enjoying [Old Maid] at first, but now a stinging tension has arisen .
“This!! I-it’s different from what you said!?”
The one person which kept on overwhelmingly losing and became displeased was Zir .
Zir was insanely weak . She made an effort to have the joker drawn with clever speech, unfortunately her emotions reflected too much on her face .
She was depressed if she drew the joker and smiled sweetly only when the opponent put a hand on the joker .
In addition, she had bad luck drawing the joker and had built an overwhelming 30 losses during one hour .
Moreover, Amy was a serious person so she wasn’t the type to lose on purpose,
Though I reluctantly drew the joker from Zir, but the joker will be left in Zir’s hand if it was noticed .
“I lost again~!!”
Because the timing was good I excused myself from old maid . The purpose was to change coachman with Ayla .
“Ayla, let’s change . ”
“Yes, thank you very much . It seems somewhat fun . ”
She probably heard the trouble from the back as she jokingly answered .
“Ah, it is still continuing so you can go and join in . That’s it, Ayla, I will teach you an interesting technique . ”
I made a promise to teach Ayla old maid and saw her off .
After a while…
“W-why is this card the only thing that comes out!? I-isn’t this the joker? No, is this the anticipated reverse trap!?”
“FuFuFu~ . ”
When doing this, I taught her to laugh dauntlessly, but she seems to be carrying that out .
The back has become quite after making noise for a while .
It appears that, though they continued to play cards, they were mainly chatting .
“However, that’s mainly the problem . ”
Apparently, they are talking about me . Oi! I can hear you―
“What is master?”
“It wast a wench last time and this time that he wast involv’d with . ”
“However, is it an act of kindness this time?”
“I am not finding fault with him in particular . ”
“Hm? What is a different thing?”
“Ayla . Zir is anxious that master’s slaves (rivals) might increase . ”
“Hmph, because the other day that gent hath seemed to has’t did enjoy himself in some other lodging . ”
“It is a little unexpected . ”
“Whatever do you mean?”
“Zir, you are too devoted to master . ”
“Yea, forsooth . To beest frank, being able to has’t sexual intercourse is the main import . ”
Because having sex with a vampire always comes together with a blood sucking session, The hurdle maybe too high for an ordinary human partner .
“Naturally with repeated skinship, affection wells up . Is that not so for ye?”
“It’s only natural . He’s our master, so…”
“Yes . I want to be together all the time . ”
I wasn’t able to catch the aforementioned conversation from there . Well, preparations might be good as I do not think it was a good idea that I hear the girls talk any further .
Here also, we are doing a boys talk?
“Ruby, let us have a love story~”
You are reading story Lust Knight at novel35.com
I doubt whether a slime has a male or female gender, but Ruby’s romantic love story was unfolded passionately
In the place where the talk became lively, the grand turtle also participated in the conversation .
You, you were a male?”
The deep talk about the tastes of Ruby or the virtues of the female figure of the grand turtle was done .
The curve in a female shell seems to be irresistible .
Later, I named the grand turle . Because he was a fellow that did love stories .
From time immemorial, people became on good terms with those who do love stories .
“Speaking of the turtle’s name, should it be an artist?”
Like that I named him Picasso .
Well, there might be various retorts, but there was no guy that knows of a turtle that likes pizza in this world so there was probably no problem . (EN: I think this is supposed to be a pun Picasso → pizza)
We finally arrived at the destination when we were having a heated discussion .
The entrance to the labyrinth game (dungeon) was like a throat in the middle of the wilderness . The stairs that dive underneath the mounded dirt hill was clearly visible .
There were several tents and a cattle shed around the dungeon . The tents are probably stores .
I admired the vitality of the merchant business in such a place .
[Dungeon of Selva], [Please come in], [It’s fine, it’s a dragon’s labyrinth], [Be careful of ferocious dragons], etc . the contents covered a lot of ground .
Probably, Selva was the master of this labyrinth .
“How fishy~”
Though the expectations of the labyrinth had fallen in one go, I had already come here . I can’t return empty handed .
I decided to enter inside for now .
The stone interior spread out . The ceiling was about 2 . 5m . The width of the passage we are in was about 5m wide . (EN: h-8ft w-16ft)
There was no consistency in the width, a room like space was visible from here .
“Is the limit up to two people in the passage?”
I informed the battle formations and roles that I thought of beforehand to Ayla and the others . The ring that I had put my magic in before was passed to Amy and Zir .
I decided to declare the kind of magic and target in advance . With this, it’s possible that overlapping magic can be prevented .
“Ayla will go in front with me . Amy and Zir will support from the rear . Amy will also map the place . Zir, please scout with the ghosts . There is a compass so please use it . ”
I sent Duo and Luo to the rear as defense . There was also the scouting by Zir’s ghosts, so we won’t be attacked by surprise .
I advanced through the passage carefully . It seems the hierarchy that we are in now was the upper layer . The [Dungeon of Selva] was formed of three layers, an upper layer, middle layer and lower layer .
The layers were separated by stairs with a [Guardian], if I can’t beat it I will not be able to advance any further . It’s exactly like a dungeon in a RPG .
“Master, there is a group of five orcs in the expanse ahead . Also, though they are distant, there are several orcs that don’t smell pleasant behind us . They are hanging around the passage . ”
I ignored the orcs from behind and aimed at the five of them in front . I advanced without being noticed by the orcs while confirming the exact location from Zir .
The orcs are hanging in a larger place than the passage . They seemed to be eating something . They were all each chewing something like dried meat .
I gave instructions to everybody behind me . After confirming the status, all the orcs were about Lv . 10 . I might be able to defeat them without a problem even if I confronted them head on .
“Zir, please put them in an abnormal state with a ghost . ”
“Yea, t’would beest troublesome if they were to runneth wild hither . So, [Sleep] . ”
Zir released the sleep ghost . The orcs inside began to doze off at once .
When I stood by and looked inside after about 5 minutes, the orcs were completely asleep .
The work was divided among all the members and it was skilfully and efficiently put in order .
Afterwards, we encountered about 4-5 orcs whenever we went to wide places . But we always had the initiative and were also superior in level, so there was no problem in the advancement .
“Yeah, it is an easy win however, this, probably something will happen before long . ”
“Something? What do you think it is?”
Because I was confirming where we went while mapping it, my soliloquy was probably heard .
Amy had come on over .
“Indeed, there seems to be only orcs . ”
Are we advancing well? Were we made to think that we are advancing smoothly? This labyrinth was fabricated .
In other words, I can think that this was something like the creator’s intention .
I thought it might be my imagination, but there was definitely something like a trap .
“Fragrance Ant!? If the scent sachet is thrown out in such a place, we will be surrounded in no time!?”
When I advanced further a little, a different monster came in that was mixed into the crowd of orcs .
Especially, when unskillful disposal is done it will cause the fragrance ant to summon monsters with the scent .
Because there was no helping it, I arrived at the room and cleaned it up with Flame Whirlwind (Fire storm) to take care of that thing .
How many rooms has it been now where I’ve monotonously launched Flame Whirlwind (Fire Storm)?
Something suddenly ignited from the flame which I shot into a room and caused a large explosion .
*Zu-n* a low sound was heard shaking the labyrinth walls . (EN: the onomatopoeia is for gloom or doomed so I have no I have no idea why it’s being used here)
Because of the sound of the explosion, my ears were buzzing . As for this, my ears will not able to be used for a while .
I would have borne a serious injury in the blast if I had not hidden myself at the entrance of the room .
“It is this . ”
Because the buzzing had lessened, I confirmed the inside of the room . Amy brought one of the remaining materials, a slightly blackish powder wrapped in a paper parcel .
“This is [Nitro Powder] . In that room, there might have been a Nitro Powder Butterfly . ”
I fought the nitro powder butterflies several times at the necromancer’s event .
It places itself in a slightly higher position and scatters its scales, it was a frightening monster that detonates when human magic touches the scales of its body .
This explosion was caused because the flame was shot in the room where a nitro powder butterfly exists, it reacted to the scales of the nitro powder butterfly and caused a huge explosion .
There seems to be a lot more cruel traps than I thought in this labyrinth .
It might be for the best to dispose of the fragrant ant with flame . However, when I entered the room with fire, this time the ‘Caution: Flammable’ nitro powder butterfly was mixed into the group .
Perhaps, many adventurers hesitate what they should do . However…
“Zir, please tell me whether there are nitro powder butterflies from now on . And if there are monsters that are strange, please tell me . ”
“Yea, I understand . Prithee entrust this to me . ”
We have to advance steadily with more scouting parties .
We gained control of the upper layer smoothly, and at last we finally arrived at the [Guardian]’s room .
