"Absolutely not a noisy clan after all these years."

Ahead of escaping to the living room kitchen, Chancellor Bergman was waiting. Has it calmed you down to love hair conditioning, sitting deep on the couch and in complete relaxation mode?

"Mr. Schwartz, can I get you something to drink?

"I'm sorry I didn't notice this. Do you mind if I drink fruit?

"Oh, so please"

He took one out of the wine cellar he kept in the living room kitchen, unplugged the cork in the kitchen and returned to Chancellor Bergman with a glass of wine.

While concealing the wine label by hand so that I could not see it, I poured it into the glass and placed it in front of Chancellor Bergman, and I lowered my back to the chair at the island table.

"That smells good - maybe fruit liquor that was served at the King's Festival?

"Yes, it's the same thing. Did you know?

"It's rumored in the royal castle. Unknown origin makes it the exclusive preserve of the Marida Chamber of Commerce, and indeed... the nobles and knights will find it with a convincing taste."

Chancellor Bergman was enjoying the wine while turning the glass, but his gaze moved for a moment into the bathroom, and when it returned to me, the Chancellor's atmosphere had changed.

"Mr. Schwartz, by the way. How are you going to use the transfer magic team?

The atmosphere of favoritism, which had been loose with hair conditioners and wine, had disappeared, returning to the appearance of a strict prime minister, who would divide the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Kurtomerga.

"We are going to install a set in this store and make it the gateway to the transfer"

"Where's the connection?

"- I haven't decided yet, but I think it will be an underground labyrinth everywhere"

"Zepernell said, but with that power - you wished for a labyrinth crusade. Right, don't you agree?

"Yes, this is my purpose and goal in life"

"Well, then..."

So Prime Minister Bergman's words stopped. Maybe it was something I still couldn't make a decision on whether to go ahead or not.

I glanced and the silence flowed between me and Chancellor Bergman.

"... then don't you think we'll need more transfer magic formations?

He whined softly. One word he said was exactly what I wanted.

Even though we were able to get two pairs of transfer and simulation magic teams, there is only one place we can go back and forth to and from the VMB's personal room at last.

Given that we will be crusading the Labyrinth everywhere in the future, there can be any number of forwarding and modeling magic formations.

Too convenient, however, therefore the Transfer Magic Regiment occurs in the state that controls the land where the labyrinth exists, and the manufacturing techniques of the Model Magic Regiment are controlled by the state.

Just because you crusaded the labyrinth doesn't mean the transfer magic team you brought back from that labyrinth will belong to the crusaders.

I was able to own the Transfer Magic Regiment and the Model Magic Regiment only because I was able to recover something that I didn't know which country the Magic Regiment belonged to, on an island that didn't belong to any country.

That alone was quite lucky, but the fact that such words come out of Chancellor Bergman......

"Is that…, to say that a labyrinth exists in land not controlled by the country?

"There is no certainty, because it is not exactly the territory of the Kingdom of Kurt Merga. But given the circumstances, it must exist first and foremost."

"There..., you want me to attack?

"You're not the only one. Confidentially, one party has already set out for a search and crusade. But if we can send enough fierce men to crusade the labyrinth alone, we'll increase their chances of success and secrecy."

"So are you ordering me to join that preceding party and cooperate in the search for and crusade against the Labyrinth?

"Well, it's not an order, it's a business meeting. And I don't need to rendezvous with a party that's ahead of me. Conversely, act at a certain distance and cover search and attack. And I want you to report the situation."

"Business meeting? And cover and status report?

"Bye. The reward will be a reward for success, but if the party ahead succeeds in the crusade, put a mock magic team on the recovered transfer magic team to give way to a set. If you crusade, we'll have two pairs of these."

With that said, Chancellor Bergman continued the conversation with two fingers up.

"Let's talk a little bit more about the situation -"

According to Chancellor Bergman, the place where there is a labyrinth that is considered a crusade goal was -, north of the Dragrange Frontier Uncle Territory, a mountainous area also known as the Devil's Mountains.

The mountain range, which is also the border with the adjacent Kingdom of Drake to the north of the Kingdom of Kurtomerga, had become a buffer zone where the Kingdom of Drake and each other did not claim control.

However, this mountainous area is seen to have an abundance of demonic ore minerals, and many warcraft and sub-races wander around invited by it. And there, they have a labyrinth, which is their destination for this one.

They still don't know the exact location, but due to the increasing trend of warcraft and sub-races flowing from the Devil's Mountains to the Dragrange Borderline Bell Territory, they think it's the first thing that must exist.

But isn't it reckless to explore mountain ranges, also known as border lines, on the scale of just one party? When asked, he said that the place where the labyrinth seems to exist has already been figured out in a prior investigation.

And then we have to fulfill the labyrinth crusade on the smallest scale so that the Kingdom of Drake does not enlighten us about this move. Because it is forbidden by a truce treaty with the Kingdom of Drake to advance the Knights of the Borderland of Draglange into the Devil's Mountains.

Sending in a large number of adventurers and explorers could also be seen as a military operation in itself. I had to avoid the extra (isa) with the Kingdom of Drake, including control of the labyrinth after the crusade.

"I see, I generally understand. But why should I move in secrecy?

"- 'Unrighteous' So it's not about this country that allows free movement to 'unrighteous', and the Kingdom of Drake craves its blood and wisdom so much that it has done great searches all over the country in the past, also known as' exorcism 'hunting. If I find out that" The Demon Out "has appeared on the Draglange Borderline Uncle Territory, I will definitely give it a little bit of a whiff. And goodbye."

"And?"

"Other nobles and clans are not silent if they know that they have allowed individuals to use the Transfer Magic Formation and the Model Magic Formation, etc. Even though it was a place where there was no country to claim ownership, it was a special case in which an individual was granted possession."

Indeed......, it is said that the most valuable thing you get from the labyrinth is the Great Magic Stone (Dungeon Core). But there is no doubt that the Transfer Magic Formation is also worth more than that.

Because the state manages and distributes it in bulk, the nobles who rule each territory deposit with the state the transfer magic formations recovered from the labyrinths within their territory.

But that's where the exception was made to say me. Seems like you need to keep it a secret that you own a transfer magic team on your own, including the fact that I'm 'unjust'.

The surveillance system for this warehouse can be built, should we also build a defense system for what if?

"So, what do you say? Let's just say that if the party that precedes us abandons the Labyrinth Crusade, that's where this request for cooperation ends and the reward is paid in the form of money."

Chancellor Bergman has asked for a response, knowing that I've chewed through the general situation. Maybe it's a story we don't have much time to spare.

"I accept this story."

"Right, will you go? Then the day after tomorrow, you can jump from the transfer control office in the First District to the Borderland of Draglange. This is your special permit for the transfer magic team."

Ready......, I guess you didn't think I'd say no from the start. And naturally, when it comes to the reward of success, there's at least one pair of transfer magic and simulation magic, two if I'm going to crusade eventually.

The deadline hasn't been explicitly expired, but if the party that it's ahead of, abandons the labyrinth crusade, that's where it ends - and the reward is money.

I don't think just one party will keep attacking one labyrinth for months, it won't be that long of a job. But there are some things that concern me.

"May I ask you a few questions?

"Oh, sure."

"Assuming the party ahead abandons the labyrinth crusade and withdraws. What happens to the labyrinth strategy after that?

"In that case, information will be shared with the Kingdom of Drake and the Knights of the Borders of the Draglange Border Uncle Territory will march for a labyrinth crusade. But in that case, the Knights of the Kingdom of Drake will also head south to crusade."

"I mean, to a crusade competition with the Kingdom of Drake?

"I wish that was all I had to do, but I don't know what's going to happen inside the labyrinth. One thing I can say is that there is no first peaceful solution to say that we are jointly going to crusade, etc. Because the truce treaty between the Kingdom of Kurtomerga and the Kingdom of Drake is just pausing the war."

"Really...... Or one other thing, is the party ahead of you some clan?

Four from "Camellias" and the eldest daughter of the Dragrange Border Uncle, Ofelia Dragrange and her escort knight.

"Ophelia? Wasn't she supposed to be chasing the thief“ Cat Willow ”?

"The runaway end of the thief is the Devil's Mountains. Danced by sightings in the northern town of Wangdu, he headed north once, but the Cat Willow returned to Wangdu and used the Transfer Magic Formation to reach the Borderland of Dragrange, then only to find out that he headed to the Devil's Mountains."

"What does it have to do with the cat willow's escape destination and the labyrinth?

"I'm not sure about this from pedestrians traveling to and from the Borderline Uncle and the Drake Kingdom, but there's a group of people building villages inside the labyrinth in the Devil's Mountains. That's where the cat willow is based."

"So the purpose of the party ahead is to say that besides the labyrinth crusade there is also a home search for the thief“ Cat Willow ”?

"Bye. But you don't have to take action on the ground on this matter. Report on the status of the search and focus on crusading the labyrinth."

"Okay."

From there, we discussed detailed confirmations, in particular how to communicate the situation report to Chancellor Bergman, and the amount of compensation if it became money, and this secrecy ended.

No, not exactly...

"Yikes!!

When a secret meeting with Chancellor Bergman was about to come to an end, a toddler girl was heard screaming from the bathroom space.

My body was reacting reflexively to that scream complaining of severe pain and jumping into the bathroom space.

"Are you all right?!

When I opened the door separating the toilet and wash space from the bathroom, it was stretched out in front of me by a toddler who drowned in a bubble and two women visible between them -.

"" Yikes!

"My eyes! My eyes hurt!

In the meantime, he grabs the nozzle of the shower while trying not to look at the two new shouts as much as he can, holds his eyeballs and holds the head of Chancellor Zepernell, who summons the cake, and hangs the warm water blowing out of the shower to wash away the bubbles.

While I was taking care of Chancellor Zepernell, two equally bubbly Ashley and Mr. Charles were jumping into a narrow hot tub to get in at the same time.

"Shh, shh, shwartz!! You're definitely not swollen over here!

"Oh, I know, Mr. Charles."

"It feels good."

I turned the voice of the handsome Chancellor elsewhere, opposite the hot tub...

At the end of my gaze is the mirrored wall - and what is shown there is Ashley sinking half her face bright red in the hot tub and, conversely, Mr. Charles standing up in the hot tub and shaking something up -.

"Oh, shit, that's for you too!

Hey, hey!

The shampoo container Mr. Shall threw hit my head.

"Schwartz ~,“ Shishampoo ”feels very good. I like the scent, and the concubine likes it. It doesn't stain my eyes. Can't you handle that?

"There is something called a shampoo hat. We'll get it ready later."

"Hey, nice to meet you."

"Hey Schwartz... isn't it time...?

The voice felt a full-body shrinking fear of Ashley's voice sinking into the hot tub, a voice so angry that it was hard to say a little...

"Oh, yeah, Ashley...... So, Prime Minister, I'm around here..."

"Now, get out!!

Once again, Mr. Shall's screams echoed into the bathroom space.
