75-69 Strategy meeting, and to the labyrinth

Gathered in the Guildmaster's room of the Healer's Guild were three beastmen, including me, Lionel and the purchased slaves, and the Adventurer's Guild's Lord Jasuan.

''We will now hold a strategy meeting about the labyrinth that the Adventurer's Guild is attacking. The purpose of this is not to capture it, but to capture Shaza and the others promptly and without injury. Then do you have a map of the labyrinth?

The avian adventurer brought out a stack of parchment, but it wasn't a pretty map, so we had to check it out.

'First of all, how big is the labyrinth?'

''The first one spreads out in a hundred meters square. Every ten levels, it will spread out in 50 meters square and the demons will become stronger.

Maybe even bigger than the Labyrinth of Trials. ...Oh, I forgot.

What happened to the miasma and the food?

The miasiasias are very rare and they can be very dangerous. There was no problem with the attack because we had a portable food supply.

That tasteless, crumbly food I wouldn't cry if I were you.

The map is not pretty, and the map is drawn up after asking where the trap was located.

Once that's done, this time while opening the demon book and checking what kind of demons will appear, my tension drops and I can see the joy on Lionel and Ketty's faces.

It looks like there will be a fire dragon or something like that this time~. As I was thinking about that too, Jasuan-dono opened his mouth.

''........Will Luciel-dono be able to enter the labyrinth too?''

I stopped thinking for a moment and started up immediately.

'What? Didn't Lord Jasun say that?

'I thought we were going to come outside the labyrinth and build a temporary sanatorium.

...What made you think that?

I thought the dwarves over there were construction workers and these were guard slaves.

Well that's fine, but you're more than welcome.

If I don't have to go in, I will, okay? I still feel like I have to go in, and I plan to eventually level up on a shallow floor.

''Don't say that, but I'd appreciate your kindness.

As I asked Lord Jasuan, who bowed his head again, to look up, and began to select people to head from the Healer's Guild to the labyrinth, an unexpected person spoke up.

''Master, please take me with you.''

So Nahlia pinched her skirt a little and bowed her head.

'You can take them with you, but only if Lionel and Ketty allow it. They're both strong, but what about Nahlia?

I ask Lionel and Ketty.

'No problem.'

If you have a throwing dagger and a long whip, I'm all for it.

There doesn't seem to be any problems. I originally wanted you to be serving in the Healer's Guild, but it's not like there's a particular problem.

''I forgive you. Just protect yourself, don't go out in the vanguard and act as a check and balance.

Thank you.

This time when I bowed deeply, the dwarf duo also called out to me.

''So do I.''

The two of them said and leaned forward. These two were going to take them from the beginning. It was because I felt that the Healer's Guild would collapse if I left them behind.

''That's an order. I won't move around without permission, I won't make things without permission, I won't cause trouble. Protect yourself. Huh~

In the end, if we go with the members here, it will be a party of six?

Lionel as a shield, Ketty as an attacker, me as a recovery and aid, Nahlia as a check and cook, and if you're good at sensing presence, you'll be on guard... what about Dolan and Paula?

How are you two going to fight?

"I'll swing a hammer and blast the demons away.

Doran crosses his arms and laughs at that.

'We have a golem, so we'll be fine!'

Paula stuck out her left arm. Then there was a bracelet on her left arm.

Hmm? The Golem, that Golem?

Does a golem move at the command of a golem?

'Yes. Something made of magic stones and powered by the magical power of the recognition.

It seems that Paula's golem can be remotely controlled with an arm band, and although it can only be controlled in one piece, it seems to be a very powerful unit. It was decided that Dolan would check the rear of the building and Paula would operate the golem next to me.

I've been told that the labyrinth is located in the mountains about an hour from here, so we'll be heading to the labyrinth in the early morning tomorrow, as it will be evening even if we go there from now on.

Then let's go to the Adventurer's Guild early tomorrow morning. I'm sure they'll have settled things downstairs by now.

Yes. And don't worry, we'll take care of everything, including getting them to the slavers.

I don't feel safe, but please.

I thought to myself.

When we headed downstairs, something I hadn't expected to happen.

The beastmen were not there, the only ones present were the crime slaves and Lord Gaius.

When I was surprised by this, Jord-san came back and told me.

''Luciel-dono, the crime slaves and raiders we have now are slaves of the Healer's Guild, and we've decided to rent them out.

I wasn't expecting the answer at all, so I was seriously surprised and asked right back.

"Why is that?

He said, smiling.

It hurts the name of the Healers' Guild Church to think that they are slaves and should die. In addition to protecting the Healers Guild, these criminal slaves and their raiders will not only protect the Healers Guild, they will also take the lead in solving the country's problems in the name of the Healers Guild. If they do so, the prestige and reputation of the Healers' Guild will increase. This time I will send all of them to the labyrinth. The Adventurer's Guild will provide us with a rental fee, which will be enough to cover their food and other expenses. There is only one order. Make sure you protect Luciel-dono with your life.

I should have consulted with them from the beginning. I guess I was the one who was the least informed.

''........Thank you. Early tomorrow morning, me and my slaves, my slaves, and my crime slaves will go to the labyrinth. I will tell the Pope, but I will leave this guild in charge of Jord-san in my absence.

Ha. I'll do my best.

I can get by with three priest-knights as guards, but do you want me to send out a request for an escort?

''That's not necessary. The dragon race will definitely defend this place to the death.

Lord Gaius interjected from the side.

'Are you sure?'

''Yes. After today, I thought that the Dragon Tribe master was still expecting something. I'll leave this one to you.

I bowed my head to Gaius-dono, who slapped my chest as he said that, and asked him.

''Please, protect the Healer's Guild and them.

Gaius-dono was amused when he saw that, but to prepare for tomorrow, first the slavers were called in for the slave procedures for the raiders in the basement.

It was a shop for the Healer's Guild NG, but this time they processed the slaves at a very low price.

The owner of the shop was unusually shaken, but he didn't care about that.

Thus, after everyone left, they made the equipment and preparations to use in the labyrinth from tomorrow.

The slaves were very grateful to Doran for the weapons, which were also well maintained, but at dinner the man who had been the leader of the raiders opened his mouth.

'I've become a slave. But I never imagined a life of slavery where I was treated so well. I am grateful.

The man spoke that much and then closed his mouth.

I have no sympathy for the men. Still, I decided to do my best to make sure they didn't die in the labyrinth.

The next morning, Team Healers Guild, a large group of 27 people in total, headed to the Adventurer's Guild and joined the nearly 50 adventurers who had also gathered to go to the labyrinth.

When we arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, I wanted something.

Then the dragon brothers gave me what I wanted.

With my mind free of worries, I stepped onto the back of the forenoir and enjoyed riding for the first time in a long time.
