“Kish… What is it like outside?”
“Out? It’s a nice place out there. When you shake your hands or clothes like this, the air moves and wind blows and touches your face, doesn’t it?”
But when you go outside, the wind blows without anyone waving their hands or flapping their clothes.
Even without holding hands or hugging, the sunlight keeps my body warm.
From noble mtl dot com.
Sometimes, there are many delicious things that are incomparable to the adventurers who fall into this labyrinth room.
“Is it delicious?”
“Why, you ate it once before. It is a small dried fruit that can be chewed well and does not smell strange because it is well taken care of.”
Kish looked at the ignorant brown eyes and smirked.
Today, after a fierce battle, the only one who survived was Kish and all the doppelgangers, the origin and suzerain.
The owner of the labyrinth often drove humans to this place no matter what he was thinking, and made them deal with only simple alienation and impulse.
The good thing is that right before the doppelganger’s suzerain, Agissi, dies at the hands of humans, a way to forcefully send them out is activated.
‘Well, if we die, the lord will bring us back to life, but if the lord dies… I don’t know what will happen.’
Today was such a day. The moment when everyone died and only the two of us were left.
Maybe that’s why, he, who usually didn’t talk about the outside first, expressed his curiosity.
So Kish opened his mouth excitedly at the rare change.
“Because of the sun, moon, and stars, the low places are very bright. Like putting your eyes close to that torch.”
And like this at night.
Kish put his hand over the gentle brown eyes and covered them.
“It’s so dark, but I can’t see it at all. Because the moon and stars rise, there is a very soft light.”
Just like a torch coming in through the gap between your hand, which is where you open your hand a little.
“And not just the water that comes out just enough to moisten your throat like that, but sometimes the water flows wider than that hallway.”
It’s called a river, and there are dozens or hundreds of them out there.
“That much water? So where does all that water go?”
It only flows through that dirty drain here. Is there a drain outside?
Or, when the water keeps accumulating, does it splash all over the outside like water in the palm of your hand?
At that question, Kish grabbed his stomach and laughed.
“Anyway, the servant is naive.”
but not similar there is such a thing as the sea An ocean that is very large and contains a lot of water.
“There are so many good things out there.”
I don’t know when it started, but the body that was sewn up like a single rag made me swallow only the pieces that were not a complete human.
Just like the kind, weak, and tender heart of the head, a normal, ordinary face. It was fixed with brown hair and brown eyes.
And now, regret and pity for those innocent eyes that I didn’t know anything about. envy and sadness, etc.
The moment Kish felt such a sore tongue and reflected emotions, he could feel it even if he did not properly synchronize his emotions.
“Actually, I’m joking.”
It is not that Jong-ju suffers because he is trapped in a place like this and has never seen the outside.
“You don’t know how awful it is outside. It’s cold, hungry, and full of monsters. They cheat and betray others, eat them like we do, and kill them even though they don’t have any memory. How bad is it outside?”
I feel sorry for Kish and the other doppelgangers who are trapped here.
What if those who have never been outside and those who have ever experienced being outside are confined to one place?
Who is it really for?
“Because I can’t even sleep comfortably outside. There are so many places where someone might cut your throat the moment you fall into a deep sleep.”
At least I sleep comfortably here except when humans come in. You can drink water comfortably.
What’s out there? Because it’s better here with us.
When Kish said that, what was his face, the face of the servant.
‘Baby. Do you know how nice it is out there? You don’t even know the sea, do you? Stay still. We’ll let you out.’
Even if one person dies someday. Or the moment when the owner of the labyrinth carved a message on the altar saying that if they would scatter each other out of suspicion, one of them would be released.
Kish said how nice it was outside and what the servant’s face looked like at that time.
“It’s been a while, Kish.”
It was nice to see the sea. Swimming is fun, but have you tried a lot of quiche?
I don’t think it was that grinning face with the gray hair and the green jewel inside.
The suzerain he knew was docile, ignorant, fragile, and weak, so he would rather carry his karma on his back. I called Jongju and Zero just to let them live happily without knowing anything.
‘Who is the author?’
Quiche, or now, Elise, the pirate queen, blankly looked up at the man standing in front of her.

That’s what being a person is. Even if things like a robot vacuum cleaner or a robot dog are broken, there are many people who want to fix them and use them rather than throw them away right away.
Even if it is not alive, if you give affection to it, you will feel uncomfortable with it.
no Many people felt sorry for the video of people trying to kick, push, or knock over a moving robot to test its running and walking stability.
‘Even if there is a sense of floating, that’s not all.’
Even if you can’t feel it with your nose thanks to the mana barrier, the stench that is spreading all over the place, and now seeing the black liquid flowing on the floor, I think it’s right to cast a purification spell right away.
Now I know that that mass of something is originally a person.
I thought of it as something simply polluted, and I didn’t want to simply purify and clean it with magic.
‘Well, even if it’s impossible to sacrifice.’
I gazed at Kane, Luna, Leaf, and Rachel as they scanned this space, digging out traces of mana and the traces they left, and then moved on.
“uh? young master.”
“It’s okay, Luna.”
I began to collect traces of what might have been residents of this place at one time, such as heads, fragments, and clumps of flesh that were rolling one by one.
The other guys who were watching it also gathered, and they quickly piled up in the center to the height of their waists.
I asked deeply, gathered my hands that were dripping down and even crawling with insects, prayed once, and took out some wood and oil from the subspace.
“Did you check all the traces?”
At my words, Kane nodded lightly. Looking at her with only her eyes moving, Rachel just nodded without saying a word.
“Let’s go.”
As Kane stroked the aura around his hand, the pattern was erased and the smooth wall was gradually covered with smoke.
Only then did I open the codex and pour in purification and clean, looking at the party with slightly subtle eyes.
“why.”
doesn’t it suit you? Still, I’m from the eastern country of courtesy.
“no.”
“As expected, Bocchan is kind.”
“Kuh, like this?”
Leaf, the golem, is expressionless as if he is a little lost in thought, but the rest is to throw out one word at a time.
In a way, in this world that is quite harsh, even though nobles can erase it with magic, it must be a rare thing to collect all the ooze and set it on fire to hold a funeral.
“Well, you don’t have to do it for the evil cults, but those people are victims and they have time to do so.”
It was only in the game that it came out as a background object, and when you clicked it with the mouse cursor, it was nothing more than a drop item or information and then a slight collapse-like interaction, but this is reality.
And the sacrifices that have been made elsewhere so far. Even if it wasn’t us, there were people to deal with, but since I bought the information here, no one other than us can come here for the time being.
If I had just left because I had done my business, how much longer would I have stayed there in that gap in the cliff that is difficult for ordinary people to come down?
So it is moral to do so. I looked at my hand, which had been cleansed thanks to the magic, and just swept my hair once.
“how is it. It might be difficult to tell them apart once you have it, but can you get a feel for it?”
When asked as she slowly turned to return to the ship, Luna lowered her drooping ears even more, Leaf shook her head, and Rachel sighed.
“A little bit.”
However, the main character is different.
I smiled at Kane’s words and answered with a slightly calmer voice.
“Someday I’ll catch it as familiar as breathing.”
Kane slightly raised his eyebrows at my words.
When I said that we would see each other that often, he must have understood right away.
I slowly descended the narrow path that I had climbed. Mountain roads are more dangerous going down than going up, but seeing Rachel jump down so excitedly, it seems that this is why she is a user and a master.
Did you go down the slope for a while like that? Suddenly, Luna and Leaf lifted their heads as if they were looking far away, and Kane opened his mouth.
“Is there anyone else on the island who decided to come besides us?”
“No way.”
“Someone has come.”
No, on this island?
Well, originally, this island was not an uninhabited island, but an island where people lived.
Of course, if there are people on the island, neighbors or merchants can come and go even for the exchange of goods, so it was natural that someone could come, but did someone come at this timing?
‘It’s a bit strange.’
When I went to the place where the guide told me to wait for a while, Rachel was standing cross-legged and looking down at the guide.
“What is that?”
“I don’t know… … .”
“Isn’t that what you guys called?”
“It can’t be… … .”
“Adelian, are you here? Look at those guys.”
Rachel comes up to me, her lips pouting like a duckbill, and points her finger out to sea.
what a situation I glanced around and saw that something was passing near the boat a little further away. It looked like someone was swimming in the sea.
There were a couple of people standing on the boat the guide had come on, and a couple of strangers on the beach away from us.
“A mermaid?”
“you’re right. I’m a mermaid… How did you find out right away?”
At the guide’s words, I just laughed.
If normal continental people have hair that looks like it was painted with dark paint, I heard that all mermaids have hair that is transparent like watercolor paint. If you can’t recognize it, you’ve read the original in vain.
“But what are the mermaids going to do on this island?”
The receptionist looks at Rachel, saying, “Does everyone know?” It seems to have suffered a bit before I arrived.
As if it had just emerged from the water, the cloth wrapped around the waist and hair were less dry.
As I cast my gaze at them, one of those who had been whispering among themselves astride the railing of the boat rises and approaches me.
Seeing that, Luna, Leaf, and Rachel secretly took half a step ahead of me.
“Is that the captain?”
“Is that the captain?”
I smirked at the man who seemed to be one head taller than me, almost zero.
A sturdy physique with wavy light green hair. Its ears resemble the fins of a colorful tropical fish, not the round and soft flesh of a human.
When I say the same thing back, the man smiles brightly.
“It’s fun. You must be aristocrats. arrogant.”
“Then you must be a noble among the mermaids too, right? You look so rude.”
Or did you not learn? I swallowed the words in one gulp.
I don’t intend to get along well with the despicable mermaids, since our healer intends to take them by force anyway, but there’s no need to bump into them anymore.
The mermaid man laughed out loud at my appropriate provocation, while I lightly scanned his body. They have no weapons or jewelry other than the cloth they carry around their waists to cover themselves on land.
Then there might be traits related to the body, or since you are a mermaid, there might be traits related to spirits or magic. Whatever it is, there is a way to protect one’s own body, so it must be standing in front of us as if it were bare.
‘Should I use the user’s eyes or not.’
It’s convenient to use, and you can guess what kind of guy he is by looking at his traits.
But in a situation where it’s not dangerous, do I have to cut my sense of wealth to check on a guy like that who isn’t even my kids?
It’s the same as other people living without seeing the trait anyway.
For now, I put off looking at it and laughed slowly.
“Tell me about yourself.”
Let’s hear who you are here.
