Like Delusion, Labyrinthos was a theme deck centered on traps.
It is no exaggeration to say that it would be disappointing if a trap fell into the labyrinth, but it had many excellent trap cards.
Just like during the Delusion, I was helpless in front of my deck, which was built with trap counter cards.
Even if he is a guardian.
“Oh, I think it would be nice to add this card to my deck. “Can I borrow it for a moment?”
“It’s not borrowing, it’s taking…” ….”
“Huh? “I can’t hear what you’re saying because it comes from the guy who lost in the duel.”
“Ugh… !”
Wardizen, the warden, is in pain, hitting the floor in frustration.
The fact that he defeated the Ameria party but lost to me in vain will make him suffer even more.
I laughed even more evilly so that the pain of defeat could become an opportunity to improve myself.
I also licked his card.
“The dungeon ended smoothly. Where are you going next?”
“Next, let’s go to the garden. “Do you know anything about gardens?”
“It may be presumptuous to say this, but I don’t know much about gardens. The only information is that the guardian guarding the place is a gardener…….”
“Okay. That’s enough.”‘
As expected, the guardian of the garden was definitely ‘Dina, the Labyrinth gardener.’
A female monster created with the motif of Daedalus, the designer of the labyrinth.
In the illustration, a wall tangled with flowers and vines could be seen behind her.
When that point was conceived, it was clear that the garden would be in the form of a maze like a prison.
“Oh my! “Except for Finesse, I want everyone to go to the prison entrance first.”
“Why is that?”
“I have something to ask this friend personally. So, Artea, I would like you to lead the way and wait at the entrance first.”
“I understand.”
Artea tries to perform quietly without asking for a reason.
Her honest loyalty was always something to be thankful for.
Artea probably wanted to hear the reason, but she didn’t even seem to want to ask.
“Master, we have become so far away that our voices cannot be heard. “I think you can start now.”
“Okay.”
“What are you planning to do to me?”
“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? “I want to ask you something privately.”
“Do you think I will speak kindly to you?”
“No, since I received the key, I thought the right to interrogate was separate. So, if you decide to duel, that’s it.”
I opened the menu, removed the existing deck, and selected the newly built deck.
“You can consider it an honor. “The deck I’m about to use hasn’t been shown to anyone yet.”
“Where does a man who uses mean tricks talk about glory just because his mouth is pierced?”
“A guy who lost once talks a lot. Don’t talk nonsense, just attack. “You don’t have to do anything to win.”
“You arrogant bastard!”
“”Dual!””

“Confess it the right way. “You don’t know anything about the Demon King’s curse?”
“Mo, I told you I didn’t know!”
“No lies are allowed.”
“I really don’t know! Rather, I want to ask you how you know about the Demon King’s curse?”
“Ugh… ! “It looks like you really don’t know anything.”
“Looks like it’s a failure this time too.”
“Let’s go next.”
After the guard, he defeated the gardener Dinah and asked them about the devil’s curse, but all they knew was that he had been caught.
I didn’t know anything else.
This is already the second time that I have been left without much income.
At this point, suspicions arose that there might actually be a culprit among the guardians.
I took the trouble of having to duel twice to get the key and information, but it felt like I was going to be killed if I failed.
‘I feel sorry for the Demon King, but I might have to ask him to live with a curse on him for the rest of his life.’
There had to be at least some clues to track them down, but there wasn’t one, so it was a problem.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t torture innocent guardians…….
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
“There is no progress in the investigation at all.”
“Was there something wrong with the person I should be interrogating?”
“Except for the guardian, there are no monsters to ask?”
“I think that makes me even crazier. “I think the culprit must have placed a curse and gone far away.”
If that’s the case, everything I’ve done so far will end up in vain.
There is nothing more regrettable in the world than wasting time.
“I can’t pinpoint the culprit, but the source of the curse is definitely somewhere in this castle.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“The effect of a card that casts a curse becomes weaker as the distance from the target increases. “I’ve never heard of a curse card that doesn’t have a distance limit.”
“I don’t know the owner of the card, but the card is somewhere in the castle.”
“That’s right. However, in the case of curse cards, periodic management is required, so it can be assumed that there is a high possibility that there is a traitor in the castle.”
“For now, I’ll have to leave out the warden and the gardener.”
When I asked them about the curse, they both declared that they knew nothing.
There are two Guardians who still have doubts.
Among them, we had to find the person involved in the curse.
“Next was the library, right? “Let’s go back now.”
“Wait a minute.”
Finesse was standing in place and thinking deeply about something.
It was a sight she sometimes showed whenever she remembered her tricks.
At this time, it was beneficial to wait quietly. No matter how urgent the situation is.
“Master. “Why not try a decoy operation?”
“Operation decoy?”
“Yes, I think it would be a good idea to take out insurance in case of any unexpected situation.”
“Can you explain in detail?”
“As I said before, the effect of curse cards becomes minimal the further away you are from the target. “If you don’t know the location of the card, it may be better to keep the target further away.”
“Are you saying that if the Demon King moves away from the castle, the effect of the curse will naturally disappear?”
“No, in order to remove the designation, the target must either die or be excluded from subspace. “When we return to the castle, the curse will take effect again.”
“In the end, isn’t it just a small sandfish?”
“Well, I don’t know. “How will the traitor react if you make a gesture of running away with the devil?”
Not only has the curse weakened, but the Demon King’s whereabouts have become unclear, and he may cause some kind of disruption to the mastermind’s plans.
No one wants to have variables in their plans.
Kidnapping the Demon King and running away was not a bad trick.
“Are you trying to use the Demon King as bait to bring out the traitor or the person who put the curse?”
“That’s it!”
“I’m going to get a lot of criticism from the devil.”
“I don’t think it’s my place to say anything as I’m receiving help. Moreover, she is not a princess but a demon lord, so she has to take the initiative and solve her own problems.”
“You don’t like the devil that much?”
“It’s not like that in particular. Only… ….”
Finess hesitated and felt uncomfortable saying the reason.
Normally, I would have just thought about it and moved on, but it would have been better to thoroughly improve the parts I was dissatisfied with.
In this way, you can live comfortably without any setbacks.
“I guess I’m jealous of being treated like a princess by my master… ….”
“Did I treat the devil that way?”
“You are trying to lift the curse placed on the devil.”
“Aha.”
Artea, Lilith, Beast Maid, and even Rin and Roshi.
Looking back, I have reached out and helped countless women.
On the other hand, although she has indirectly helped Finesse, she has never done anything big for him.
Rather, I could say that I have been helped by her in many ways.
In Finesse’s eyes, that was enviable.
I’ve never really expressed it out loud until now, but it seems like I’ve longed for that kind of situation, knowingly or unknowingly.
“Well, Finesse also wanted to be treated like a princess.”
“Can’t I do that?”
“That can’t be possible. However, I wonder if there will be times when I save Finesse in a dramatic situation. “Because you are stronger than me.”
“It must be difficult….”
Finesse looked quite disappointed.
She probably didn’t know that her own strength would hold her back in this way.
I quietly placed my hand on Finesse’s cheek and gently stroked it.
“Finess, there is no need to be too upset. Even though it may be difficult to save her like a princess, the fact that I like you the most will never change.”
“…… Yes♡”
“We have made a plan, so let’s go back now. “Because we delayed it for a long time.”
“Let’s go!”
Finess smiled brightly as he hugged my arm.
A blush that exudes an innocent smile and joy.
When she was in love, she shined the brightest.

“If you’re going to do salting, at least go out and do it, you f*cking bastards… !”
The gardener was swearing under his breath as he looked at the backs of the man and woman who were affectionately leaving the maze.
There was someone who quietly approached her.

“In the end, this place was also occupied.”
“Could it be you?”
This was the moment when the Labyrinth Victims Association was formed.
