Goosebumps all over the body
The midway declaration of renunciation was rejected.
Or, you may have heard it and ignored it.
This is a really big deal.
There’s no way the frontier’s supervisor was negligent. I also thought that I would be taken out unconditionally, but when things turned out like this, I had no choice but to feel on my skin that Stella’s prophecy was becoming a reality.
“… … Are we locked up?”
“Well.”
Faced with the reality that it was impossible to get out of the labyrinth voluntarily, Yuri and I began to talk with a serious face.
Yuri, who had been trying so hard, couldn’t stand it.
“Hey, if I’m not trapped or what… ? Is the supervisor not listening to us? Something happened outside!”
“Calm down. There’s nothing good about being excited.”
“Hey, how do you do this… haha… No, that’s ridiculous. really? Really, we… … Are you stuck here? Is what Stella said true? me, am i dead? are you going to die to you?”
“Be calm.”

Did I not believe in myself?
I pressed my hand on Yuri’s shoulder, which was gradually becoming more and more confused by the impending reality, and then looked down at the floor and grasped the situation.
“… I’m sure something has been tampered with. It is impossible to escape on our own. This is no longer the practice we used to know.”
There were three possible routes as of now.
Being hit by traps or monsters.

Declare renunciation.
Reach the center of the labyrinth.
Originally, it would have been possible to get out of the labyrinth through one of these three, but now the second route has become a source blockade.
Then there are two left.
One of them is getting knocked out by traps or monsters that are close to death… …
I honestly don’t even dare to try this. Realizing that something is happening right now, who knows if the death that takes place here will lead to actual death. Nobody knows.
made a quick decision.
“… I don’t have time to be like this. You have to move fast. Or else, we have to find other children who have survived so far.”
He grabbed his left arm and stood up.
“Wow, maybe there was a mistake as well? Wait a minute and try again… … ”
“glass. I know you want to deny it, but I don’t have time to run away from reality right now. And Frontier isn’t quite as safe as you think.”
“… Isn’t it a safe place?”
Yuri asked with trembling eyes while putting her hands on her chest. Do you want to instill more anxiety? After swallowing the words that it might have been the devil’s work through his throat, he shook his head.
“I mean, it could be. Now that something unusual has happened. … Either way, we need to find the other kids quickly or find a way to escape from here during this time.”
“You, don’t take it too seriously… You get scared.”
“It’s serious, but what do you do?”
took a deep breath. Did you get caught up in something like this again? Not a single day is quiet. How come
“Once you move… … Ouch!”
“-! hey!”
I stumbled at the sudden throbbing pain.
Yuri runs from the side and supports me. I’m not sure if I should call this a supporter because of my physique or being much smaller than me. If you are sincere, would it be okay?
“Okay, it’s okay. I was dizzy for a while.”
“It’s okay… !”
The words that I terribly dislike, that I hate even my fingers touching a man’s body, and so on, running like this in a hurry and supporting my back, contained a pretty moving sound.
jerk… jerk…
He walks through the aisle under the support of the glass, not the support. The atmosphere of the labyrinth seems to have become more gloomy than before. Hearing the cries of the monsters that are starting to creep in from somewhere, the glass that wraps my arms around my waist goes into a panic and starts to spit out anything.
“I, what should I do now? What should I do here, uh, I… I think I will continue to be, only Jim, only Jim… I made a mistake earlier, and it hurts you, ah, ah… Well… uh… … Now, how do… … ?”
“How are you?”
I said.
“I have to live.”
I shouldn’t be confused here. Now that one is in panic, the other needs to be mentally supportive. Above all, I have experienced many life-threatening situations. That’s why it’s surprisingly cold. He seemed more rational than usual. It didn’t seem like it was wrong to say that when one’s own life reached the alarm, he displayed superhuman abilities.
“Really, how… … ”
“Are you very scared?”
“… … What?”
“Would you like to hold my hand?”
He purposely smiled and said.
“At a time like this, it’s like a joke… … !”
“No, it’s not a joke.”
“… … ”
“Rather, in times like these, we should not miss each other any more. Either one can’t just disappear. Most of all, when I hold my hand, I feel relieved because I feel like there is someone next to me. is not it?”
“… … ”
“Are you really going to catch it? cute.”
“Oh, you haven’t done anything yet?!”
yes it will still be
I’ve seen all your fingers wriggle.
I’m going to get it out of the way,” he said while maintaining a smile.
“don’t worry. I will never leave your side.”
“… … ”
Glass did not react. I keep my mouth shut, my gaze down, and the arms I gathered to support me are meaninglessly gathered to my chest.
The braided hair sways according to the gait.
Again, the color is not good.
hmmm.
“don’t worry. I’ll try something.”
“──Hey, what… !”
Whoops, whoops.
I don’t know if this will cheer me up.

Deliberately do something you don’t like.
I wouldn’t have washed it for about a day, but I put my palm on the top of the shiny glass with something that I couldn’t tell if it was shiny or oily. .
“Hey, put this away… !”
“Tak,” and clasps my hand.
A sharply narrowed brow. An expression full of dissatisfaction as much as he hates being treated as a child. The figure of Yuri I knew came back for a moment.
Yuri pouts and mutters.
“What are you doing… … ”
“I told you, somehow.”
“Does that make sense… … ”
Ha-ha, Yuri’s face, which sighed, seemed to have regained her original energy more clearly than before.
I silently stared at that glass.
“──?!”
snap.
I grabbed my left hand.
Soft, warm, and soft.
Surprised, he looked up at me with his eyes wide open.
“Um, what–”
“If you’re that dark, even me can be in danger. I think this would be more reassuring. You have to hurry up.”
“No, that… !”
Of course, I’m surprised I’m trying to get rid of it.
but don’t miss out
Kuk-.
hold tighter
“profit… ! this, this… ”
“Can I really let it go? If you let go of this once, you’re not going to hold it again, right? If you want to grab it next time, you have to grab it from your side first, right?”
“You know that?!”
Glass screams.
I’m going to attract all the demons.
“Shh, lower your voice.”
“… … ”
Yuri listened to me obediently.
“… … My, what kind of child am I… ! Reassured that you held someone else’s hand… ! I’m done, so let’s drop this… … !”
“Hmm, I’m losing a lot of energy right now. I think you can let it go easily if you put your mind to it.”
“… … Other than that, it’s just counting dirty… … !”
face is red Is it because I am angry?
“Okay, I’m giving it a lot of strength. If you want to take it out, take it out.”
“profit… … !”
To be honest, it was interesting to see Yuri’s reaction, but at this point, I decided to stop making it even more embarrassing. Yuri has a tendency to obey what I say when she rationalizes it in a way that she didn’t want it first. I have to instill the perception that I have to force myself to do it.
“ha… It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like this… ”
After arguing for a while, Yuri, who took a deep breath, did not speak any more, and a quiet silence came between us.
A small, soft hand is held in my hand. It is sensitive as if all the senses and nerves were concentrated there. It looks like my palms are sweating too. I don’t know whose sweat it is. One thing I know, though, is that the warmth is warm.
Next to Yuri, who eventually gave up on letting go of her hand, she lit a fire with magic and slowly moved forward, illuminating the dark road.
There was no sign of a monster appearing yet. He opened his mouth in a low voice, not stopping to look at the people around him.
“glass.”
“… What.”
“After all, won’t you be my sister?”
half a joke.
It was half serious.
Of course, to be honest, it was close to a joke I made because I thought that if Yuri was my little sister, I would be able to take care of her quite cutely… …
Of course, I thought that Yuri would be treated as a joke, and that he would show a sarcastic surname.
“… I have only one brother.”
A low murmur was heard.
“So, there’s no way someone like you could be my brother… Don’t say that, even as a joke. If you don’t want to upset me.”
“Okay, sorry.”
“… … huh.”
Are you really mad?
For once, I don’t let go of my hand.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Surrounded by such a strange silence, walking through the glass and aisles, the moment I was about to move in earnest to find a way to escape, thinking that the atmosphere would have been ventilated.
jerk.
at a very close distance,
became popular.
“!”
“Water back… … !”
The hand that was holding me quickly loosened.
Neither of them had time to hurriedly reposition themselves, taking the form of the popular figure felt at the corner of the aisle before us.
They each raise their magical powers and telekinesis.
On the other side, a red fireball is summoned.
“… … ?”
“… … to?”
“… … uh huh? you… … ?”
As soon as they confirmed each other’s appearance with the light, the tension and strong air currents surrounding the passage disappeared in an instant.
