Chapter 4 - The Other Side
The 『Labyrinth of No Return』Tenth Layer
In the vaulted hall, there was a stone floor floating near the ceiling.
We got on the moving stone floor and found the "door" at the end of it.
The arched pillars invited those who passed underneath them to enter another dimension.
Probably no one has passed through it in the five hundred years, or even longer, since the dungeon was built.
The question is, where does it lead?
I sent the slime that Letty controls, but.......
「Huh? It's already back.」
A slime wearing a pointy hat reappeared from the empty door.
「Was it a dead end?」
I asked, trying to figure out why it had come back so quickly.
「Evil God-sama, Evil God-sama, please tell me...」
「Yes, I can tell you, but I demand an offering. Show me your panties.」
A slightly high-pitched voice came from the hat, sounding like a voice changer.
「I knew you'd come for it, you pervert god. Here you go.」
Letty peeled off her leotard to reveal a pair of white panties.
「Guha! Nuhohohoho, V-very well, this one was riding straight into the slime.」
「Hmph-hmph, And then?」
「I rode straight ahead and came out back here.」
「Hmm?」
「Eh? That's it?」
「Yeah, that's it. That's all. Whoa!?」
I grabbed the pointy hat.
「Oi, you better tell me what's on the other side. Or I'll tear you off and burn you right here, right now.」
「W-what a punishment. This one is a god you know, know your place――Bahh!? You hit me, didn't you? I've only allowed candles in SM play!」
「You're noisy! You're nothing but a pervert hat now. You're the one who should know your place.」
And you're not a good god when you ask for panties. I'm going to be strong here.
「Unnu......」
One more push.
「Then I'll show you Serina's panties.」
「All right, fine! It's deal!!!」
The evil god came at the deal with all his might, but Serina immediately raised her voice in protest.
「Hey! Why dou you make a deal to show peple's panties on your own!?」
「This is also for the sake of the adventure. It's for the good of everyone, okay? The Hero Serina」
「Kkuh, Can't I use something else, Evil God-sama?」
「No, you can't. This one won't accept anything but your pantiess! This one'll never accept anything else!」
「That's right. I'll make it up to you later.」
「Why do you have to go through all that trouble to get into my underwear? ...... Well, then, Alec, I want you to spank me in the Doggy Style. With verbal abuse.」
Serina whispered in my ear so that only I could hear her, as if she was embarrassed.
「All right.」
I guess that was her favorite part. You're still a young high school girl, but you've become a great pervert.
That's good thing.
「Well then, you guys can't stand in front of me.」
Serina, who doesn't want her friends to see her panties, turns around and says.
「All right.」
「Y-yeah.」
「Okay, let's move, move, move.」
「...... It is not human being, it is?」
After placing the pointy hat in front of her, Serina turns around and checks with Letty.
「No, it's not. It's a genuine evil god.」
Letty answers with a straight face, but I have to believe her.
「Hmmm ......」
「Oi, Serina, you've shown me so much, don't hesitate now, just show it to evil god.」
「Geez, I'm not that kind of girl. ...... Just this once. This is the only time.」
Serina flipped up her miniskirt and hid it quickly. It was so fast.
「Nuu!? THis one can't believe it! Even with this one eyes, this one can only see the color. ...... One more time!」
「No! As promised, speak now. Or I'll cut you down right here.」
She pulled out her sword with a straight face. You're really angry, aren't you?
「T-this one get it! Don't rush me. Good grief, you've got a pair of pants or two on you, and then you're angry ......」
「Hurry up!」
「Whoa! Wait, wait. This one'll talk, so This one guess can talk――The other side is a ...... wormhole, which I'm not sure you'd understand if I explained it to you. Wormholes are space-time tunnels where someone has fixed the gravitational field. ...... You can think of them as fully automated tunnels that can warp great distances. This one and the slime fell into the tunnel and flew 13 billion light years into the galaxy. Then we came back to this point an hour ago」
「「Ehh!?」」
「What? The time shifted?」
「Hmmm. This one doesn't know how it works in detail, but...」
「Wait, wait, wait! So, Evil God-sama, if I use this "Door" properly, could I possibly go back to my childhood?」
Letty bent down to ask, but the pointy hat waved its tip sideways with a scoff.
「No, the space-time tunnel is fixed, so there is no way for anyone to escape from it. However, This one could see out through the minute gaps surrounding the tunnel. Hmm, Letty, with your clairvoyance spell, you might be able to see a year into the future.」
「Whaat, I can't go back to the day of the test...」
Letty clicked her tongue, disappointed.
「Hey, If that story is true,...... isn't this a device that can see the future?」
Serina said, looking back at the 'Door' as if she was afraid of it.
「What do you think, pervert hat?」
「You bastard, Alec, This one used to be a god, and you've got me tied up with these subordinate spirits.」
「Just answer me. I'll worship you as a god depending on your answer.」
「Hmm. Hmm. Very well. Well, this is certainly a device that can see the future. That is, if you can use the clairvoyant spell. However, only one person can pass through here at a time. This one can't go through it anymore.」
「Letty, are you ready to go?」
「Huh? I don't care if I look a year into the future, I'll probably fail the test again and have sex with Alec in desperation.」
「It's not about your future, it's about the future of this party. ...... Or maybe I should go.」
With Letty, it's like she doesn't know what to look for.
「Are you serious, Alec? You'd better stop. I think the wormholes are dangerous.」
Serina's worried.
「I'll be fine. This door was set up here by someone ...... for adventurers to allow humans to pass through, given its height. It's not like you're going to die just walking through it.」
This labyrinth always has the right path to go deeper. Even if there were vicious traps along the way, there were few traps that would kill you out of nowhere.
「But what is the fate of the future ......」
Fianna murmured with a negative nuance. However, the reason why she didn't deny it outright was probably because clergymen can also see the future, through divine revelation or something.
If this "door" was set up by God, she couldn't complain about it.
「You might regret what you saw, you know?」
Hannah said. That would be true. If any of these people were destined to die, or if I myself were dead and gone in a year, I'd feel worse.
――But still.
I might be able to do something about it.
Besides, I felt like I might regret coming this far and leaving without doing anything.
「I'm prepared for that. Then I'll go. If I don't come back in an hour, Saki, you'll be the next leader. I'll leave it to you.」
「I-I understand. But make sure you come back, okay? Darling.」
「Yeah. Of course I will.」
「Master, please let me go with you.」
Meena's going to ask.
「No, I can't bring you Meena. Oi, pervert hat, is this for one person, right?」
「Hmm, that's right. If two of you go through, the coordinates will overlap, and one of you will definitely die on the way out.」
「That's how it works. You got it, Meena.」
「Yes, sir. If the master doesn't come back, I'll go look for you. Even if I can't use my clairvoyance, I have a good nose.」
Meena smiles.
「Yeah. I'll ask you then.」
「H-Hey, brother, it feels like you're going to die. Please don't go.」
「I'll be fine. My gut says so. It's just a precaution.」
I smiled at the worried looks on their faces and checked my skill list.
【Clairvoyant】.
I was going to give up if it didn't come up, but fortunately or unfortunately, it came up as a candidate.
The required acquisition point is 1000 points. It's a bit heavy, but I have that many points.
【Clairvoyance Lv3】 New!
I had planned to raise it to the max of level 5, but for some reason I needed 20,000 points from level 4.
Since I'm running out of points, I'll just hold out at this level.
「Okay, I'm off.」
「Yeah. Be careful.」
Everyone was staring at me, but they looked nervous.
I exhaled loudly and stepped into this invisible door by myself.
