????Floor – Abyss (4)
I wiped away my tears, let me blow my nose, and put on some makeup.
Even quite seasoned. Materials are procured locally.
Where the hell did you learn that?
Anyway, after tidying things up, it was only then that the girl realized the current situation.
“We’re on the 1st from today?! Really?”
Again, this sounds very strange. That’s the age
“Yeah. Well, since it was a family game, that’s about it.”
“Play!?”
Close your mouth again from screaming.
The girl struggled and became quiet.
When you take it apart, you can see a face that can’t control the corners of your mouth. The material is good, but the contents are very young. Still, it’s nice to see a lively look. The flapping is also cute.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a relationship. It’s been a few decades.”
When was your last love?
It was a good choice for the emotional stability of the little girl who was going to be together for a long time anyway, and became a daughter-in-law with this child.
And honestly, who would hate a boy like this when he said he likes him?
The girl smiles and answers with a trembling voice.
“When I heard stories of friends dating at school, it seemed like a story from another world.
“Can’t you feel it? Can you feel the labyrinth?”
“What if it’s all a dream?”
Being an exile seems like a good thing… … .
I was about to cry so much that my runny nose came out again.
“Come on, blow your nose.”
“Ugh!”
And the girl starts chattering again. He seemed unable to control the heightened emotions in various ways.
listened quietly. Until you’ve finished telling the story you want to tell.
Lately, I haven’t been able to do anything special that can be called counseling.
It’s important to know what your party members think and feel.
And I think so in my head, but my heart is different.
Whether worn out, worn out, tired, or the world is futile.
It is the same person who can be a comfort to a person in any situation.
okay. God’s word is correct.
Nothing has changed from now on.
However, simply by changing the name of the relationship a little bit, I felt a warm feeling in the corner of my heart.
However, if this warmth disappears, it will remain a scar colder than anything else, tormenting the exile.
As far as accepting it, I have to work hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.
The girl realized that she was talking too much and shut her mouth for a moment.
The girl asked cautiously, looking at her with delight.
“But now, can’t you tell me that?”
“What?”
Slightly shy, avoiding your gaze.
“name.”
name.
right. My Name.
what was it
I haven’t used it in a long time so I can’t remember.
The older the exile, the less likely it is to write a name.
If we don’t know each other’s names, we can forget each other more easily when we split up into different episodes.
Because the name symbolizes that person.
When each other goes through such pain, they don’t ask or wonder.
Those younger years are just doing it because seniors do it, so even if they do it, at some point, they will understand deeply why they do it.
You can’t see it forever, but you’re definitely living somewhere else.
In a way, it might be more painful than a bereavement.
It took time to re-discover my name, which had been quietly sleeping in the tomb of memory.
Most of the names that have been called me over the years have been titles.
Wizard, High Ranker, God, Leader, Master… … .
Thousands of thousands of voices escaped from my memory and passed through my mind.
But there is no voice calling my name.
I only realized that now.
As the Fairy King, when I took the Petal Fairy to my wife, I didn’t say her name.
I’ve really been without a name for anyone.
But why? Is it because you think this will be the last episode, or is it because you really like this kid?
Now I feel like I want to talk.
I feel that way when you call my name.
It was very awkward to say the name out loud.
And it felt like a special ceremony.
In a relatively stable kingdom, this is often the case at weddings.
Saying each other’s names.
Of course, only the two of us, so that the guests could not hear.
And without telling anyone his name, the two of them will keep it forever.
An unfamiliar sound, buried deep in my memory, escapes my mouth.
“Si-woo, Yu-shi-woo.”
The girl rolled the name several times in her mouth.
With a fluttering and pounding expression like a child with a delicious candy in his mouth.
I looked at him with a feeling that somehow I wanted to avert my eyes.
The girl did that for a while, then raised her head and met eyes with me.
And she smiles brightly and replies.
“I’m Hee-woo, I’m Hee-woo Jeong!”
I thought it was a pretty name as much as that smile.

Day 7
During the 5th or 6th day, I drew a map of the abominations that were sure to wake up first.
All personnel, including the goblins, were aware of that fact.
You can get a rough idea of how it moves and behaves by looking at its shape.
These guys don’t have a ranged attack method. It simply crushes and devours the opponent by mobilizing enormous stamina and strength.
And it is very slow with a common characteristic. In fact, they are the ones who can’t be quick in their physical structure.
It is one of the monsters that I often hear about not being able to level up.
Of course, that is a story when dealing with conditions that are met.
If a group of pure warriors or a group of wizards had to deal with an abomination in the abyss, it could be more than the level value.
This is a matter of sanity.
There are very few warriors who can fight against an abomination, and there are very few wizards who can blow them away with unrecoverable magic.
Sustainable ranged attacks are the shooters.
The most convenient among them is a ranged physical attack.
And the army of the future stage is the largest group of shooters above all else.
The first things that woke up started to crawl.
Although there were only two individuals, it took six hours for them to die.
Countless barriers stacked on top of each other stopped the advance of the abomination for a very long time.
It’s not physically blocked.
It’s simply because of the fact that the clumps with little intelligence thought they were new prey and ate up the barriers one by one.
Finally, the giant monsters stopped moving.
When Arcana and I are judged dead, the gunfire stops.
The long battle is over.
In fact, it was more like a simple task that continued in a state where tension could not be released rather than a battle.
The soldiers also seemed to feel relief at the end of the task rather than the joy of victory.
The weapons I had collected over the past few days were almost exhausted.
But there were no casualties. That is reason to rejoice.
Our group was now down to 200 or less.
Many goblins were already wounded by the time they landed here.
The harsh environment of the abyss returned many lives to the side of the goddess.
In the middle of the fortress, which had become quite plausible for a temporary construction, while thinking about the next plan, someone approached the tent.
He is currently the highest commander of the goblins, a colonel.
Even the colonel, who was trembling at first, became quite familiar with me over the past week.
“A significant amount of ammunition has been released from the stomach of the abomination! The soldiers are now sorting it out.”
“Okay, grab it as much as possible. More and more people will come.”
Like many federal officers, he gave a not-so-bad command.
From what I’ve seen, this country has a high average quality of talent and little variance.
There are few who can be called heroes, but they are faithful to their work, so I wonder if it is an ideal communist paradise.
Maybe a goblin was originally that kind of species.
That’s a very good feature from the point of view of having to direct everyone.
The soldiers continued to move as I wanted without any variables.
The colonel withdrew and the girl came.
“Brother! How are you doing this?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Uh-huh, what’s wrong? You don’t like being called oppa so much?”
“When a bloody little kid calls me that, I get hives. You know how old I am mentally.”
“Pi, when you say uncle, it sounds like an original relationship.”
“Uh…”
It’s kind of like that.
They come with a chirping voice, but the gait is full of vitality.
Even the darkness of the abyss is so fluffy that it looks like it is shining.
The smile grew bigger and bigger than before.
Even if a flower bloomed with every step, it wouldn’t be too awkward.
Anyway, he took a little more care of how he wanted to use his magic in close-quarters combat and how to deal with such an abomination.
Of course, he does not directly participate in the battle. There may be times when you have to take risks and do so.
But safety first.
This is never selfish.
* * *
Not even a rumor. It’s not like the little wizard was going around the neighborhood, but it’s something that comes naturally.
Of course, nothing has changed. It seems that the people around them thought it was going to happen anyway.
However, Young-in-nim, who lacked human sensitivity, was very straightforward.
“Did you?”
“No…, I don’t.”
“Oh my God, this chaos! Isn’t that such a big deal?”
“And, well, there are problems in many ways. She’s cute and pretty, but if it’s the same thing again, that’s another matter.”
“Hmm, that could be it. If it’s strong, it’s an impeccable bridesmaid, but it’s probably too plump. A warrior should be reticent outside the battlefield.”
Young-nim talks about the Orc’s view of love.
I just laughed.
First of all, it is unavoidable that more than half of them still feel like younger sisters. He’s such a kid, and that’s why he’s so cute.
But what’s really funny?
“Hey, that kid seems a bit too innocent.”
Our Hee-woo, who said that he learned to love only through comics, was more like a white drawing paper than we thought, and we didn’t really know what existed beyond what was described in comics or novels.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a high-level creation.
The Jeong family was a very skeletal family. In that way, he is making full use of his precious daughter-in-law’s tea.
When I heard the story, the Jeong family seemed to appear frequently in Korean history. He said he was often a military officer.
Being a scholar among scholars, you can be strict with your children. In this case, Confucianism is long live.
By the way, it is an earth with a history of the existence of superhumans, so I wonder what kind of hell the Three Kingdoms in that neighborhood would have been.
In any case, I asked the inspiration who was most at risk of making a sudden move.
“It’s convenient not to know. Because you don’t know, there’s no going any further.
“Huh. Should I call that audacious? I don’t know.”
The old man shook his head as if in a creepy way.
“Actually, it’s true that I don’t really think much of it, because…”
“Well, what should I do from the labyrinth? Exiles must be really hard.”
“There is nothing essentially different from death, isn’t it?”
“I can’t believe that the souls are together.”
“You are right.”
If you think about it, the soul is real in the labyrinth.
“Exiles have no soul. I don’t know if it’s because of moving on to the next episode.”
“It’s just not. Maybe it’s because it’s from outside.”
The inherent ominousness always leaves only a sign. I have decided to turn away from many possibilities.

Day 10.
The influx of abominations was slow enough to observe from a distance and allow time to prepare.
However, the number gradually increased. The goblins were exhausted from overwork, and some went crazy.
The darkness of the abyss corrodes the mind. It is not easy if you let go of yourself no matter how strong you are.
I had to act on behalf of God.
He comforted the goblin soldiers, sometimes showing miracles of God, and calmly hunted the approaching abominations.
He slept alternately day and night, defeating the enemy.
It would have been impossible without the various equipment that was dropped as loot from catching abominations.
Still, little by little, the quality of the soldiers’ equipment was improving.
So is our party.
Even Arcana matched a new staff.
If they flock too much, they will fall at once, so they had to carry out a disturbance operation led by personnel with good mobility.
It was a dull, breath-taking and tight battle.
* * *
Day 15.
All abominations around the garrison have been removed. Since I had more leeway, I had more time for reconnaissance.
Hierarchical movement in the abyss is done by stairs, as in many other places in the labyrinth.
A portal appeared several times in the middle, but did not set foot. I don’t know if it’s deeper or where. You don’t have to risk the unknown.
We can escape with certainty as long as we go as far as the power of the Goddess can reach.
It is impossible to completely cleanse the hierarchy. Abominations are constantly born somewhere in the darkness of the abyss.
When the neighborhood was cleared, the search for the stairs became the main task.
Since the search was mainly carried out by our party members, the soldiers were able to take a break of at least ten days.
A staircase leading up was found.
“Okay. As soon as you arrive, you may run into a horde of abominations, so be careful. I hope you don’t encounter the devil.”
The goblins were excited about their use of the stairs. It seems that the Federation is strangely fond of exiles and even admires them.
Move to the next floor in unison.
The team message in the loading window did not appear.
and.
“Wizards! Hit the barrier!”
There was no time to worry about mana consumption.
I used the remaining magical power to cool it down.
It was hot. Strangely enough.
The entire layer of the abyss was burning brightly.
The remnants of the abyss are boiling everywhere with molten magma.
“Wow, that’s crazy. Does it look like it’s part of a collapsed planet?”
It’s rare to see the abyss become such a high-temperature hell.
I should have expected this.
