"... would you like me to escort you?

"Yeah. We'll still have some days before Prince Celia arrives, won't we? I'll be fine by then. I'm gonna be back by then, too."

Mid November when the sun set faster and the night was longer. The school, which enters the winter break in the next two weeks or so, also has a peaceful atmosphere.

It has been about a week since I went to the Mansion before. Marco has already left King's Capital, too. We went to see him before we left and dropped him off, too.

Arabella's sister-in-law seemed to stay in the king's capital. That's closer than Marco made me stay. Arabella's sister-in-law looked sadly at Marco's carriage to ride.

I guess that guy didn't want to take him to the battlefield either. I couldn't say anything because I know how that feels.

After a few days of mourning, today, after class, Aeris came to the classroom and was called in as we were about to go home. In the student council room.

And back to the conversation I just had.

"But why me? It was an escort. There must be some Kingsguards at the Royal Palace or something else?

"You're not going to use the country's soldiers privately, are you? Besides, this time it's perfect privacy."

"Then why don't you guys go on winter break at the student council?

"There's no one more powerful than you in this school, is there? Well, everyone else doesn't seem to admit it inside."

That's what I say. Look to the right. There stood a man with glasses, Brookle Kermilly. The student council at this school has a top student chairman, two vice chairmen, and more than one accountant, secretary, and general affairs. It is a meeting of about 20 people for all.

As a general rule, it starts in second grade, and everything here is upper class except me. Besides, other than Aeris and Chairman Marina and a few others, they're sending me a close glance at the murder.... Did you do something?

"Chairman! We still don't have to rely on a man like this to do it alone! It's just out of the way even when you get thistled with a hero!

"Brookle! If you insult Ray, I won't let you. Don't even know what Ray's capable of!

When that vice chairman Brookle criticizes me, Aerys, who was on the other side, is pretty. And the two stare at each other. Are you that close?

"Brookle. This is a matter of decision. I'll have him follow me. Members Berg to me, Brookle, Aeris and Milkle. Besides, Ray, I'm gonna let you in and go with six of us.

The dean won't have much work for the student council at this time, so I got permission. I'm going to have the rest of you stay, but thank you for your other business. "

"" "Yes!

If you notice anything, it's decided...

"With that said, what do you do?

I didn't know what to do, so I asked.

"That's..."

◇ ◇ ◇

"It's a dungeon that can only be challenged by student councils."

The next day, he came to the front of a special labyrinth he had previously used in a confrontation. It's a labyrinth made by one of the founders of this school, but they made a dungeon that only the student council can challenge with playfulness. Once a year, they can challenge the period at the end of this year.

Apparently, the reason once a year is because of magic. Well, they're going to need the magic to create a labyrinth and make demons appear inside, the magic to transfer us in case, and a fair amount of it, and the magic builds up is the end of the year. The demons seem to vary.

"But how are we making demons appear?

"It's magic that shapes us."

"Master"

When I was crushing by myself, a master came from behind.

"That freak was thinking about the kid, no matter what he said. In case anything happens, I thought I should stop supplying magic, and then I thought I should make everything out of magic. That's this labyrinth. Well, you're gonna need a lot of magic to get in there once for that."

Well, I don't know much about it, but the master laughs. Or does that mean the master and his founder knew each other just now?

If I'd talked to my master that way.

"You were fast, Ray."

A student council member came. Behind you comes a woman with green hair elves and a boy named Berg, who is responsible for a bow named Aeris, Brookle and Milkle. Vice Chairman Brookle is staring at me.

"You're here, Marina. Are you ready for this?

"Of course it is. I'll clear our bill."

This special labyrinth that takes place every year, but they haven't cleared it in the last few years. The last time I cleared it was with Alexia's replacement three years ago. That's a boulder.

"Was Alexia's boss an element golem? Attributes are in flames."

That's another nasty monster. But a sturdy body to a giant nearly 3 meters in A-rank monsters. And it has all kinds of attributes. It is a troublesome demon because each of its attributes deals with it differently. Well, would Alexia hang up?

"So are you ready? Well, you can come back even if you die, so you should feel free to come. Then hold hands."

That's right, but I don't want you to say much. Of course I don't want to die. We tried to hold hands so they wouldn't fall apart the same way we did when we fought. It's just...

"... Chairman Marina?

Aeris holds the right hand. This is good, but Chairman Marina is holding his left hand. And...

"Or, Chairman! Why are you gripping with that man! At least grip it with Aeris and Milkle!

and Vice Chairman Brookle gets angry. Well, I agree with Vice Chairman Brookle all the time.

"I don't care who I grip with. Let's go."

But Chairman Marina didn't seem particularly concerned, so we walked straight into the labyrinth. I'm anxious to get ahead.
