"Welcome to Castle Demon King. [Flaming Brave] Dear Phoenix, that's your line."
Shortly after entering the hall, there was the reception of the Demon King's Castle.
"Yep."
I nod one thing and give my registration card to the receptionist. The woman was a cat sub, wearing a mask that covered the upper half of her face.
The other four issued registration cards in the same way.
Identity is verified.
"[Brave] Phoenix, [Warrior] Alba, [Saint Knight] Lark, [Hunter] Lily,... Oh, this one is different from the last one, isn't it? [Brave] Bella. Five more confirmed."
For a moment, the shape of the receptionist's mouth seemed unnaturally distorted, but is it my fault?
"Thanks"
Upon receiving the registration card to be returned, the woman said.
"[Black Demon Instructor] What did Leme do?
"Ha, aren't you dying wild somewhere? Or you're begging on the street, but you have to be a criminal. [Black Devil Instructor] Then don't eat it."
The receptionist asked me, but Aruba took the liberty of answering.
"... Alba, who are you?"
Wherever Lily's contemptuous gaze blows.
"You, I'm not a bad guy. If Lemme is pathetic, Lily, why didn't you take refuge? He was protecting you when I hid my ears from you. I don't owe him anything, so I said what I wanted? I didn't do anything. You're so much more ruthless! Don't look down at me."
Elf's [hunter] Lily frowned beautifully.
I did say that Leme and I didn't have to hide Elf's ears when we once talked about hiding them in a magical body (avatar).
"On the grounds of gratitude, tell me what you don't even think? If, of course, he relies on us, we will do everything possible to help him as one who was one of us at a time. But that discussion - rather than your nasty show - should have focused on whether Leme had the strength this party deserved. Even if I am the benefactor of my life, I will not lie about my work."
"Hey, don't be a good girl."
"... inferior"
"Ah!?
"Please don't scream, I'm deaf"
"Oh, my God..."
"Oh, uh, the fight is, uh... better not... we're going to attack the dungeon together now... oh, my God"
[Ice Brave] Bella intervened modestly.
She has icy hair and eyes, a little girl. Being unsure and cat-backed is very rare as a [brave man]. Going into another party without even trying to make my own is not in the middle of it.
"... you showed some embarrassment, Bella. I'm sorry, it's my fault for pointing people's words at monkeys. He said he realized there was no way that a dialogue could be formed."
"Crazy fucking elves"
"... uh, annoying... What's wrong with you?"
[Saint Knight] Join the story until Lark.
"I haven't spoken to Megumi, Root Dark. More moves, more mistakes if you try to skip."
"... you, too, were the precision rattler of your prized magic sword? I've spent too much time playing with women. I'm not blunt with my arms."
"Keep your virginity quiet."
"I'm sorry, but I guess I have more experience than you. I mean, can't you look in the mirror and see?
"... kill"
Once again, there are cameras on the spot, but they are not the subject of a buyout.
Connect the spirit to the magic body (avatar) and enter the dungeon before the production.
Because what is a fight when it comes to getting ready now?
Until now, the dissatisfaction with the party has been lemme.
It's not about the party, it's about the three of us.
By making Lemé a common problem, the three of them had come together in a way.
Leme laughed small, knowing that but if the party turns well.
Thanks to that lemme, the three of them naturally do not know that they were able to act as first-rate to super-class adventurers.
Without realizing we lacked the point, the fact that he was gone made us notice each other's faults. That shortcoming was something that had become indefinitely less noticeable with Leme's support.
They won't even know for themselves why they're not feeling well.
It doesn't get any worse.
I just went back from being super first-rate.
The discrepancy I feel is Leme's feat as it is, but the three of them won't even consider the possibility.
"Um, I told you to stop fighting."
Surprisingly, it was Bella who stopped the three of them.
The back of the three shoes and the floor are fixed.
It was frozen.
"Bella's right. What do newcomers do with the most decent"
Be careful not to get too cold, but let it seep through.
The three looked like bad bats and missed their faces with no one.
"... Mr. Phoenix, why didn't you stop"
Beira implicitly says that I, the leader, should have taken the initiative to arbitrate.
You usually seem to be lying around, but you seem to say what you thought you should say.
"I wish I had a chance to look at it."
"Want to see it? Do what?
"What have we done?"
"Um... well, I don't know"
"No, that's okay. I expect that from you."
I don't answer questions, I end the conversation.
When the three men's icing was lifted, they attempted to go to a room to connect their spirits to the Magic Body (Avatar).
"Uh, shit. Seriously, I'm gonna sneeze. What the hell is this, is something wrong? I don't know if the party's tightened up yet."
"Bella has done a great job. I was in a hurry at first, but soon I'll be a great [brave man]"
"Lily's happy to have more girls, isn't she? Well, the offense and control have gone up, haven't they? I don't know... my body is the same, but it doesn't have consequences."
That's when. Pong, and Aruba laughs with a slap of his hand.
"Ah! Could it be that one? An unemployed lemme resents us and hangs black magic all the time. Ha, he can't do it - huh!?
It was the limit of patience.
Grab up Aruba's chest.
His body floats and his feet twitch to get back to the ground.
Everyone is taken aback.
"Aruba, Aruba. How many times do I have to tell you, Alba? Don't speak ill of him. None of my people, don't be so bad. Why can't you? [M] It's character, I'm sure."
"Gah, uh, garlic"
"I have not punished you before because you and Lemme were buddies and Lemme tolerated your behavior. But I want you to think about it. Leme is like you kicked him out. That's because I thought of the party, and I wouldn't have blamed myself for that. Because I believe you're thinking about this party. Then why do you think I'm angry?
His face turns pale.
Lily tried to put my arm down and even that lark panicked.
Bella is out of her mind.
"I know you guys aren't comfortable with lemme. He's gone, it'll be clean. Then why don't we just end this? Is there any reason why we should denigrate our former companions even after we kick them out? Let's make one thing clear. It is good to point out the shortcomings of your fellow citizens. We shouldn't shy away. But I shouldn't say it badly. And Alba, you don't think Leme is one of us at the earliest, do you?
Aruba tries to rip my fingers off, but his power won't make it happen, even with both hands.
"If he's not one of us, that's already, just my best friend. You thought this Phoenix was the guy who laughs at his friends for being fooled? I don't know where it is, Alba. I don't know. I can't do it with people who can't respect their precious things. So, Alba, promise me here and now. I want to think of you as one of us. [M] Remember, don't call your people bad. You promise?
Aruba was about to lose her eyes, but still snorted hard.
"... Mr. Phoenix. The fourth largest party in the world is such a giddy thing. I knew the harder it would be to go up there... oh, adventurers..."
Bella is desperate for something.
Lily was rubbing Aruba's back. They're usually two of the dog monkeys, but they have a good sense of companionship.
- The unity that has loosened with Leme gone must be consolidated with something else.
From the beginning, you should have led with a firm attitude.
Originally I am not the kind of person who can put people together. He was just a bully.
So while I remembered how sorry Leme was for playing a losing role for me, I didn't try to change my attitude as a leader.
"The other three are the same. I'm not asking you to be friendly. I don't mind cheap conversations or minor fights. But I don't condone disdain for my people anymore."
I look around at four people but myself.
"I will obey, I will. First of all, you wouldn't be one of them if you looked down."
Does Bella have no objection, she responded immediately.
"Uh, right. Phoenix is right. But 'I don't know' is a lie. Me, Alba, Lily, we don't like each other, but we all like you. I want to be at your party, I want to be of service to you, and I want to make you the best. Leme was clearly not a wizard worthy of this party."
It's not a lack of strength in the first place, but that's not the problem.
Lark continues.
"Alba's fool is, well, actually overstated. I'm sorry to hear that, too. But if you, who I love, are trying so hard to shelter your best friend, you'll feel bad. I know what it feels like to say bad. 'Cause, you know, if old friends are unconditional and top priority, how can we work so hard to get you to admit it?"
After all, there it is.
My attitude is the problem.
Or if it's a lemme, I might say I'm bad.
Maybe both. Me and Leme, we hid Leme's power. The reason is that the other three don't know anything about it.
At the same time, however, Aruba's statements are not justified because of his dissatisfaction.
"I've seen all my people from the start and thought I needed a lemme on top of that. I don't think I can get any empathy from you. [M] So let's talk about the future, not the past."
When he offered his hand, Aruba stood up holding his hand, even as he distorted his face.
I thought you were gonna die.
"Let me apologize."
"... hey, I don't need it. You're punishing me, I'm convinced. I seriously hate lemme bastards though. Whoa, you're not scorning me, it's about compatibility. That's about it, isn't it?
For some reason, Alba laughed happily.
"Yep... he's strangled and laughing... this party seems so dark..."
"I don't know if you're new here. It's like this guy's been distancing himself from his people for years. Except for my big best friend, Leme, who somehow drew a line."
... was that what you thought?
I'm simply not good at talking to people yet.
Maybe my attitude was responsible for one end of the reason I hated Leme.
... I've been annoying you for a long time.
I couldn't thank you enough for being a party with you.
"That's what made it, Coho, emotional burst out. Ah, gosh, hey... I don't know about this."
"Obviously, what's going on?"
"Don't worry about me, motherfucker. Maggie Elf. You'll get goosebumps."
"What a rude person. Or maybe it's not even patterned."
"Ah?
"... you're not punished"
Alba and Lily, and Lark returned to normal driving.
Bella's the only one who said, "Uh... this one fits round?" and confused.
"Alba, Lark, Lily, and Bella. Me and you, these five will attack Demon King Castle completely. Drop the impenetrable Demon King's Castle and the path to the world's top ranking will be nearer."
Look around everyone.
"Your power, I admit. So don't ever think about crap again."
Alba snorted, Lark clapped his shoulder, Lily nodded, and Bella looked at this one in silence.
"There is no defeat before us. Because..."
Reminds me of my best friend's words.
"A brave man is because he will always win at the end"
Words deeply engraved in my heart.
When the only brave man I admired was a young man, he showed me many battles and victories.
That's why Phoenix has never doubted it. No, I thought I could never lie.
It is always the brave who win. So I must not lose.
"If you're going to make me the best [brave man], I'm going to make you the best adventurers in the world."
Walk out.
"Come on, dungeon attack."
◇
"Welcome back, Master."
……………………
I doubted my hallucinations for a moment.
Because obviously there was a strange sight in front of me.
We moved our spirits to the Magic Body (Avatar) and were transferred to the Safe Room ahead of the fourth layer that we last attacked with the Record Stone.
There is little hierarchical information on Demon King Castle.
Humanity is supposed to have intruded until the seventh tier, but hierarchical information is reset when the floor boss changes.
What is now evident in Demon King's Castle is up to the fourth level. There are only three layers that humans other than us have been able to reach.
The fourth layer of modern times is as much known to the world for the first time by our strategy.
Whether something happened in the earlier generations, the subordination of contemporary demon kings is young centric.
He deserved the Demon King's Castle enough to be strong, but he didn't feel like a fierce warrior.
And the fifth layer. This is another hierarchy with no information.
It is about the moment when you open the door of the saferoom and take a step forward.
It followed a place like a coffee shop for some reason and there were a lot of beautiful women in the store.
And they're all dressed like maids.
"Come on, sir, lady, you must be tired, right? I'll heal your body and mind, won't I?
"... what is this"
◇
"This will be hard to do"
Leme was in the video room.
The giant screens are divided into several parts, one by one reflecting the footage of the camera installed in the dungeon.
Now expand the location to the screen as soon as you enter the fifth level.
The maid clothes ladies are full of coffee shops.
By the way, I'm not involved in five layers of defense.
"Come on, show me the power of the nascent phoenix party."
The Demon King's Army Staff Lemegeton, while supporting his current colleagues on the screen, seemed to be already convinced which would win.
