I see your code (213)
I decided to tell you how to do it later, and once I got to the ground with Tanya. I didn’t know if I would have to stay up all night over there if it was later.
“… … It really is dawn.”
“Then you thought I was lying?”
“It’s not… … Rihanna, you don’t know lies, but you talk a lot.”
“… … is it? Ah, thank you more than that. Help me open the basement door.”
“Look. Talk again.”
“… … .”
Wasn’t this one a little too cheesy?
When she was stabbed for a moment and closed her mouth, Tanya suddenly burst into laughter.
“done. ’cause it’s just a word Rather, I should thank you.”
“… … you? why?”
What I did was not much different from using Tanya. I was only looking for it when I needed it and was comfortable.
He’s not a slow-witted guy, so he’d have noticed it.
But Tanya shook her head as if it wasn’t like that at all.
“Thank you for letting me know about the imperial basement that I didn’t know… … Above all else, I know that we are trying to fulfill the wishes of our clan. The survival of mankind.”
“… … .”
“So you don’t have to apologize to me. It’s all on my face, so I’m noticing it for nothing.”
“… … .”
Wasn’t that awkward silence on the way down just because I thought it would offend me?
I thought it would be the same if it was the old Tanya. After confessing, he was afraid that if he did anything wrong, he would be hated by me.
As I gazed at him with a renewed feeling, the corner of his mouth trembled. The awkward thing seems to be some kind of convulsion.
“… … But even when you don’t really need it, please stop by from time to time. It won’t make you uncomfortable. I didn’t confess again… … ?”
“… … sorry.”
There was no excuse, so I immediately apologized and headed straight to my room.

the next morning. As soon as I woke up, I went into the office and got rid of all the paperwork.
Of course, it was difficult, but I was able to do it because I was expecting the events that would come if I left it alone.
That’s the nag of Thayer Terberoz.
But even the tiger will come when I say it. As soon as the thought reached that point, the office door swung open.
“Where did you go yesterday? … .”
Thayer Terberots, who had come in with an angry expression, looked at the room and immediately shut his mouth.
In that brief moment, I confirmed that all the documents on my desk had been moved to the processed side.
He approached the mountain with skeptical eyes, looked at the pile, removed a few in the middle and examined it.
It was only deplorable to see the broken trust between people, but I just kept my mouth shut.
If even a small pod was caught, the next document could contain even the actions that could be taken on the Teyer Terberots Line.
“… … I’m really done. If you can do it so quickly, why have you been so aesthetically pleasing?”
“… … .”
Aren’t my hands too fast to be aesthetically pleasing? Until yesterday, I wondered if I had even heard of a god. I think I really heard it today.
Anyway, now is the important time.
I took a deep breath and hurried.
“No matter how important it was, I felt like I had neglected the matter here too irresponsibly, so I put a lot of effort into it. Fortunately, I finished it in just one day, so the amount accumulated was not that much.”
While speaking, I didn’t forget to accentuate ‘Haru’ in particular. In order to imprint on the subconscious whether it was such a mistake that I, who had suffered so far, had only gone out for a short time.
As if it was not a completely useless attempt, Thaere Terberotz also had a trembling face.
“… … Well, if you do your job properly, there’s really nothing to say about it. But, from now on, let’s talk. I wondered if it was possible that you were sucked into it because you couldn’t get buried in the paperwork.”
This guy is making jokes that won’t make you laugh.
As much as I got into the game after living crazy about making games, I got goosebumps the moment I heard it. I really hope it will be like that.
When I opened my eyes, I was trapped in a place made up of only numbers and data.
Just imagining it is terrifying. There must be a hell in the world worse than the old Layton.
“Did things go better than that? I don’t know what it is, but since it was a fairly important issue, you must have gone there yourself?”
“yes. I’ve been working on it well. The results were good.”
“Then I’m glad. As long as the results are good, there is really nothing more to see.”
I’m happy too. Because I feel better than I thought. Doesn’t it work out surprisingly well?
I coughed a couple of times and continued.
“So, is this all the paperwork for today?”
“Is that possible? Hundreds more to come. There is a lot to clear from the academy to the clearing of the old ancestral forest.”
“Hundreds are not a lot.”
As I spit out words that didn’t make sense to me, Teyer Terberotz looked at me with a bewildered face. But I didn’t care and continued to open my mouth.
“Besides, all admissions to the academy are over, and the redevelopment is actually in the final stages, so now the parts we have to touch on ourselves will be significantly reduced, won’t it?”
“… … Even so, I don’t know why you’re getting more anxious the more you slurp like this.”
“Don’t be anxious, we just need to increase the amount of paperwork. Even if you don’t have a lot of work, you’ll be enemies.”
“You sound crazy.”
It was cut with a single knife by Tair Terberoz as if it was not worth the effort.
… … Did you not like being treated like an old man? It’s a lot harder than I expected.
“If it’s not right, even for the sake of life’s vitality… … .”
“It’s not that important. I’m saying I’m going to die just with the documents I have now. Did you know that I process twice as much paperwork as you do?”
Know. About half of the guys over there who are now in the process of being dealt with have already been sent after being checked by Thaere Terberots.
“Coming to think of it, if I receive more documents in this state, I think I will become an enemy as a result. I will already go to Gol and live in a different world.”
“… … .”
“Well, I don’t really care. Do you really want it?”
“Let’s calm down and find a compromise.”
I put Thayer Terberoz on the couch and negotiated.
“If you don’t like your current salary—”
“No need. I’ve never heard of using gold in hell anyway.”
Why is Hell the default?
I seem to keep my eyes on the transient that has been sitting on the desk since before, but I’m a little worried that he’s going to run into it.
I wouldn’t worry about getting hurt like that, but if that old man twists his head, my work will increase several times for the time being.
“… … Then we’ll hire more people. And the educated elite. Can’t you, though?”
“If we blindly increase our staff just because we are busy right now, what will we do when things are stabilized later? Do you want me to organize it all at once?”
It won’t happen. Because there are still a lot of problems to be faced in the future.
After persuading them to the end by attaching such circumstances, in the end, Tair Terberotz raised his hand and withdrew.
“Whew… … okay. How can you survive if you fill in the number of people like that? But is it okay if I ask you one thing?”
“Tell me.”
“What the hell are you trying to do with this?”
Thayre Terberoz asked, looking at me with questionable eyes.
“I didn’t see you like this when you built an academy that educates tens of thousands of people free of charge, or when you offered to be recognized for your independent status against the three kingdoms. What the hell is it about such an important issue that it comes up like this?”
I was silent for a moment at the question of Thaeter Terberotz, and then I raised the teacup. And he said with a snort.
“I will build a labyrinth.”
“… … labyrinth?”
Teyer Terberots had an odd expression on his face, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary. I looked at him and nodded quietly.
“yes. A labyrinth that will be at the forefront of the continent and the center of all economic activity.”

This was the original plan of the liberated king and empire.
Once the door is sealed, make a large battlefield near it. And when it is released, power is applied to block the entrance. so-called dagger.
The idea itself was actually quite effective. It was because I was able to maximize the advantages that I could derive from the position of Suseong.
However, it was not realized as a result, mainly due to two problems.
First, of course, there is no way to fix the door.
The choice of the battlefield is not on my side from the beginning, how can I predict where they will come out and wait?
In fact, it can be seen that the story is already over at this point, but even if it is solved, the second problem still remains.
The point is that the beings of the other world are protected by a shield for about 30 seconds immediately after being summoned here.
During that time, he’s almost invincible, and even a passing dog knows how deadly it can be in battle.
Of course, the liberation king was not unaware of this fact, but… … If you can’t solve the first problem anyway, you wouldn’t have paid attention to it because you thought it meant nothing.
But now we have to come up with a solution. The first problem is because I know how to solve it.
And I was going to solve the second problem with a ‘maze’.
“… … Are you saying that you should only do this with the soil you provided for the wall in the middle?”
“yes. Since the labyrinth is a concept, it has to be strong enough to never break.”
“Normal soil is not that strong, but… … .”
“No need to worry about that. It is the strongest soil made with special materials.”
The construction manager looked at me with a puzzled face.
It was obvious that he was thinking, ‘What kind of sound is that like an egg breaking a rock?’ I don’t know if it’s because of my location.
“… … Well, I see. We’re just going to have to do it according to plan. Do you have any other instructions?”
“Construction workers should never leave the designated area, and never share blueprints with others. That’s all I can think of right now.”
“Well… … As it is a labyrinth, security is of course important. I will understand that.”
The person in charge wrote this and that on the paperwork, then immediately raised his head and looked at me.
“But there is one thing I still don’t understand.”
“Ask. I don’t know if I can answer that.”
“Why is it that only half of the exit side of the maze is built in what is said to be the deepest part of the basement? Is it similar to the goal point? … .”
He smiled bitterly at the question asked with a puzzled face. Because this was not a question that could be answered.
After turning the horse and letting the person in charge out, I looked at the blueprints left on the desk.
A large blueprint stacked on top of each other to the point that it almost looked like it had been smashed into a kingdom.
