I Have Transferred to the Worst Labyrinth in Another World chapter 28

28 – Leonhard’s Nation – 5

“Just one day.”

“Sure.”

“Aren’t you shaking like the first time?”

“Because you don’t seem to want to kill me.”

This is true. In fact, if Veronica had only made up her mind to kill me, I would not have been a person of this world long ago. Then why isn’t Veronica trying to kill me? It must be related to the word ‘king’ mentioned by Veronica.

“You see correctly, I will not harm you.”

“Why? I’m a state guest from a country hostile to demons.”

“The demon country is not important to me. The same goes for demon tribes. If you think about it, a country is a country where there are many dissimilar races. There is no reason why I should be loyal.”

“Is the demon commander still okay?”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I’m the Demon King, I can’t restrict my actions.”

Certainly, Veronica possessed a strength different from that of ordinary corps commanders. To be honest, if Lilith and Rex were to be able to defeat the Beast King in full condition, the answer would be ‘no’. However, Veronica has the same or more power than the Beast King, capable of dealing with two corps commanders. To be honest, I don’t know why there’s such a difference even though they’re the same corps commander.

Of course, I couldn’t predict who was stronger between Veronica and the Beast King, as I was still level 41. Just as the average person cannot see both the fists of a professional boxer and the fists of a world number one champion.

“Last time I was disturbed by the Beast King, but it’s okay now. I didn’t stop time like last time.”

“What the hell do you want?”

“What do you want? Well…”

Veronica snapped his fingers and used magic. Then black smoke gathered, and he produced an elegant black chair. Veronica sat gracefully in a black chair he had made and looked at me.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t prepared the throne for my ‘King’.”

Veronica smiled seductively and used her magic again. Then black smoke gathered again and a chair much larger and more luxurious than the one Veronica was sitting on was created. The chair was very splendid, like the throne on which the ‘king’ sits.

“Let me sit down.”

“But why is my chair so big…?”

“Isn’t it strange that the throne is small? The ‘King’ is quite thrifty.”

“…Okay, what the heck does that ‘king’ mean?”

As I sat down on the fancy chair, I couldn’t help but ask Veronica about the ‘King’. Then Veronica just smiled and he didn’t answer my question.

“You are very curious. Serving such a person is the duty of a servant, so I am happy to accept it.”

Damn it, the words don’t work at all.

At this level, I thought it would be easier for my image to think of Veronica as a lunatic. Nope, maybe he really is a lunatic. Calling me ‘King’ itself was already proof that I was insane.

“Do you think I’m a lunatic?”

“…Can you read minds now?”

“There are times when the ‘Prime Minister’ needs to know the intentions of the ‘King’.”

“A chancellor?”

“That’s my ‘title’. ‘King’ doesn’t matter too much.”

What is a royal game, not a playing house? I’m the king and you’re the prime minister, this isn’t a complete joke.

“Your thoughts are clearly visible to me. Very rude.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“It’s okay. This must be an ordeal that a servant must endure.”

Veronica smiled and crossed her legs as she sat in her chair. She is very attractive, so she would be lying if she said that she didn’t look at me honestly, but what is it?

“Hmm… Is the ‘King’ lusting after me?”

“Eh? Huh? That’s…”

Come to think of it, this woman keeps reading my thoughts. Thanks to her, she seems to have noticed that I was interested in her as her member of the opposite s*x in her momentarily crossed legs.

“It’s okay not to panic too much. There were countless men who lusted after this body. So I dressed like a man, but it didn’t have much effect.”

“……You really think so?”

As Veronica said, she was wearing long pants and long sleeves like a man. The problem was that the pants were tight like leggings, highlighting Veronica’s beautiful figure.

Does Veronica really know? That a man would rather have a more revealing leggings than her skirt.

“Ohhhhh…”

Oh sh*t, did you read my thoughts again?

“Does a creature called man have a great desire for clothes that cling to it? What a mysterious creature.”

“Ugh…Wait…!”

Veronica got up from her chair at that moment and slowly approached me. I was taken aback by the look of Veronica approaching me, but her head went blank for the moment when she saw her alluring smile.

Thanks to that, I sat quietly in her chair while Veronica came up to my nose, and Veronica put her right knee on top of my thigh as she sat in her chair and put her own face on her face. He brought her face close enough to her nose.

“Oh…!”

“Are you seeing me as a woman like this?”

Too close. For me, who has zero experience with women, Veronica, who has a beautiful appearance like a goddess, was too hard. Besides, when she looked at Veronica’s ruby eyes, she kept thinking about her.

This is dangerous. It’s too dangerous.

I don’t know what perfume she’s using, but Veronica’s body smells like roses.

This place is a rose garden, so I don’t smell it. This was definitely the smell of Veronica’s flesh.

Honestly, in a novel-like place, it was said that a woman’s body smells like flowers, so I dismissed it as bullsh*t, but I never thought it would be true…

Of course, Veronica was not a human, but a vampire, but isn’t her appearance just a human woman?

“Her face is red ‘King’.”

“He…Could you come down?”

“No. I’m not very interested in other men lusting after me, but I am interested in you lusting after me.”

Why are you interested…!

“My face is objectively beautiful. Is that why you lust? Answer me.”

“That’s right, please come down..!”

“You are not a true ‘king’ yet, so I have no reason to follow your orders.”

“No f*ck…Wait..!”

Veronica moved closer, pushing her own knee deep into her thigh.

This is really dangerous. If Veronica pushes her knees in just a little bit more, her inner ear touches.

Then, as a real man, it can’t be anything other than ugliness.

“Keugh..”

I quickly used [Psychokinesis]. But the target wasn’t Veronica.

Since the possibility of telekinesis being applied to that woman is close to zero, the subjects of telekinesis were me and the chair I was sitting on.

Then the chair that was supporting her weight was moved behind her with me, and Veronica looked at me with a slightly puzzled look as my thighs, which were supporting her, disappeared.

“Our ‘King’ has a unique ability.”

“I’ll give you the leftovers.”

“Looks like it’s pretty useful for a janitor… I need to get this sorted out.”

Veronica smiled seductively as she quickly rose from her chair and approached me.

She then, just like she did when we first met, she stroked my cheek and looked at me with lustful eyes.

“I want to drink blood… But I’ll hold back. It tastes like poison if you consume it too often.”

“Who gave it to you?”

“It must be the role of the ‘king’ to pay money to ‘subjects’, so you think a sip of the king’s blood is enough?”

“If you tell me what that ‘king’ is, I’ll think about it.”

“Then it’s a bit unfortunate. We’ll have to drink the blood later.”

It doesn’t come over.

“So…What will our ‘king’ do now?”

“…What does that mean?”

“Are you going to continue living in the kingdom of beasts like you are now?”

Of course. I was treated as a state guest at the Leonhard Castle and lived very comfortably, but there was no reason for me to go out on my own. I have no intention of living under pressure for the rest of my life, but I plan to find a house near Suinguk and live the rest of my life comfortably.

“I see.”

Veronica put her index finger on my chest, looking a little lethargic.

If Veronica puts all her strength into that her finger, will I die? I had a terrifying imagination for a moment, but quickly erased it.

“Unexpectedly, our ‘King’ has a weak mind.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Hmm… Well, that’s fine. That’s why I came to see the ‘King’ anyway.”

Veronica pulled out a piece of paper from within her arms. Then she handed it to me and she said.

“It’s a map of the continent. Open it up.”

“…The map is correct, but what is the marked…?”

The map Veronica gave me was the map of the continent, but some points were marked in red with x’s.

Of course, I didn’t know what the x sign meant, so I asked Veronica, and Veronica answered with a smile.

“It marked the location that the ‘King’ had to go to in order to be crowned.”

“…Should I go?”

“Yes. You must go to the x-marked location in order to truly become a ‘King’.”

“I don’t really want to be a real king, do I?”

X marks were marked all over the continent, even in the Demon Country and the East Continent.

For me, who wants to live a comfortable life, traveling all over the continent was something I didn’t really like.

Above all, there was no reason to listen to Veronica. Because she was like an enemy to me, who was on the side of the Demon Tribe Corps Commander and the Guardian Country.

“No, you must be the ‘King’. The outcome of a royal family who does not succeed to the throne is always bad. The same goes for you. Does the ‘King’ know about the Void Fragments?”

“…A fragment of the void?”

I know. I know all too well. It’s because we even met face-to-face.

Now that I think about it, the void fragments were really strong. In fact, in terms of the energy felt from the fragments of emptiness, she was on the same level as the Beast King or Veronica.

“You seem to know. Void Fragments have the lowest rank as ‘soldiers’ in their position.”

“…That?”

That monster is the lowest rank? Anyway, do monsters have status?

“Do you know chess?”

“You know. Is there chess in another world?”

“I don’t know if it’s the same as the rules that exist on Earth, but there is chess.”

Veronica snapped her fingers, summoning black smoke and turning it into a chess piece.

“Do you know what I mean?”

“Isn’t that a phone?”

“Yes, the lowest-ranked chess piece.”

Veronica made the black smoke into the shape of a chessboard and placed the chess piece pawn on the chessboard. Then he put his pawn on the edge of the chessboard and asked me.

“Do you know what will happen if the pawn gets to the last row like this?”

From noble mtl dot com

“…Can be replaced with other high-ranking chess pieces.”

“That’s correct. A pawn, the most useless chess piece, turns into a high-ranking chess piece if it goes through a dangerous battlefield and reaches the end.”

Veronica made knight, bishop, rook, and queen chess pieces and put them on the chess board.

Then Veronica picked up the strongest piece, the queen, and said to me, who was silently listening.

“You can think of this queen as me. And…”

Veronica hit the phone with the queen she was holding and dropped it.

“Think of this fallen pawn as a fragment of the void.”

“…This fallen phone?”

“Yes, captured pawns are removed from the battlefield and head to the tombstone.”

Veronica removed the fallen pawn from the chess board and made a small barrel of black smoke and threw it into the barrel.

“And this barrel is the Labyrinth of the Abyss.”

Veronica erased the barrel where the pawns were thrown and brought the chessboard back in front of her. Then he made a new pawn and put it on the chessboard.

After that, Veronica put all the chess pieces except for the king, such as Queen, Bishot, Knight, and Rook, on the chessboard and smiled beautifully.

“But let me add a very peculiar and mysterious rule at will.”

Veronica has created a phone that is larger than normal phones and decorated with fancy decorations.

“Basically, a pawn arrives in the last row and the pieces that can become it are bishop, knight, rook, and queen. But…”

Veronica puts the strange-looking phone in the last row.

“This very special pawn can become a ‘king’ as well as a queen and a bishop, as long as it gets to the last row. But it’s only one of many.”

Veronica smiled seductively as she changed the unique looking phone into the most important piece, the King. Then he pointed at me with a chess piece that had turned from a pawn to a king.

“And this unusual looking pawn chess piece is the ‘King’, that is, you.”

“…Is this me?”

“Yes, but it’s still just a flashy, odd-looking phone.”

Veronica again changed the king into a unique looking pawn and placed it where the first pawn started.

“Then let me ask you a question. What would happen if a pawn were left unmoved in chess?”

“…Will it work?”

“Yes.”

Veronica came up to me with a satisfied smile and put the odd-looking phone in my hand.

“I hope you don’t get eaten like a caught pawn, for there is no ‘king’ in this game yet.”

At that moment, Veronica began to soar into the air.

“Anyway, I have a feeling that it is difficult to serve as the ‘King”s assistant in the Suin Country. If you leave the Suin Country to find the x mark, I will go find it myself.”

With those words, Veronica turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

After confirming that Veronica was gone, I sighed and looked at the odd-looking phone in my hand.

“The king…”

I feel like I’m not sleeping well tonight.
