Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World / Гарем Рабов в Лабиринте Другого Мира – блог
Рецензия от Svalsama
Средненькая такая гаремная повседневность. После манги думал будет лучше, но хоть оказалось не так плохо как в каментах.
Герой не импотент и весь гарем регулярно перетрахивает, без подробностей. Даже немного романтики есть.
Герой нытик, а при недостатке маны скатывается в жуткий депресняк прикольный момент. Но постепенно притерся к реальности.
Герой пароноидальный перестарховщик, но трус это уже слишком. Скорее выглядит реалистично на фоне мерисьюшных нагибаторов которые прут буром. Это как один играет сохраняясь на каждом углу а другие гонят на хардкоре. Хотя читать местами напрягает, с его вечным как бы чего не вышло и а может не ходить к герцогу.
Меч его отнюдь не имба. Вполне как я понял повторяемый. Даже по началу не всех мобов сносит с одного удара. Людишек правда режет на ура. Но с людьми ГГ и не воюет.
Плюшку ему правда дали читерскую. Все эти перекидки статов и смена профы. Хотя там не все сразу понятно как работает. Да и а переводе есть косяки. А еще автор любит внезапно находить в списке новые бонусы.
Вопли про купить на 30% дешевле и продать тут же на 30% дороже это бред. Банально 1000 монет цена. Купил со скидкой за 700. А при попытке продать сколько ему должны дать? Обычно это половина если не четверть от 1000 и вот к ним +30% и получит он 650 монет. И смысл? Можно стать посредником перевозчиком но он и так вполне удачно янтарем торгует 1к5.
Что прикололо в мироздании:
— ГГ и пати ходят только телепортом. Другая пещера город хоть через пол мира, пока маны хватит. Чем автор себе сильно подрезал возможность расписывать путешествия стоянки и все прочие. Непонятно зачем только дом в городе брал. Мог бы ставить базу где угодно. Хотя тут есть еще один прикол.
— В инвентарь влазит только пещерный дроп и снаряга плюс еще какие то мелочи вроде денег. Не пещерная еда фиг. Шкаф кровать не засунуть. зеркало тащим в обнимку. Ванну везем на телеге. Вот это реализм, а то любят жулики засовывать в каждую ячейку по сундуку или сразу хоть дракона.
— При все читерности смены проф ГГ на момент сотой главы отровенно слаб на фоне остальных читеров и не чистит подземелья соло до дна как некоторые. Он вполне реалистично воюет всей пати где каждому есть кусок работы. Там даже отряды больше пяти мобов пока не попадаются.
Рецензия от danik_1994
Сюжет? сюжет тут банален, однообразен и скучен. ГГ? тут он лох, черт, тряпка и т.д вообщем трус что аж очко горит от его тупости. Ошибки в тексте? ну тут все как обычно, терпимо, в приципе притензии к переводчикам нет. И много воды, оч много.
ИМХО 3 из 5 Чу Фенов
Если решились прочесть, то будте готовы возгоранию пукана семимильным пламенем
Рецензия от keichy
Я в глубоком шоке от «перевода», это худшее, что я видел в своей жизни, начиная с 40ых глав я словно лечу в пропасть, где на дне её меня поджидает промт со своими щупальцами, готовый отхентаить меня во все грамотные места моего невинного мозга. Ушёл в анлейт.
Рецензия от NOTIMEFORDRAGONS
Сюжет забудьте, тут он однообразен и скучен.
Магию, монстров, лабиринт и прочее тоже самое.
Просто сидим и смотрим на то как гг коллекционирует девушек в свой гарем и развлекается с ними.

Michio Kaga/Relationships
Contents
Relationships [ ]
Companions [ ]
Michio treats his slaves as if they were a family, which surprised each of them at first. He doesn’t want any of them to get hurt and always wants to make sure they’re happy. This leads him to be very lenient with them, compared to how slaves are normally treated.
Roxanne [ ]
Roxanne is Michio’s first slave. He felt attracted to her the first time he saw her and knew that he wanted to buy her. Roxanne is amazed at how well he treats her despite being his slave. Michio has complete trust in Roxanne’s capabilities. Roxanne, in turn, is completely devoted to him and is implied to be deeply in love with him. They slept together the night Roxanne became his slave; not telling her that they were mutually losing their virginity. The first following nights they continued sleeping together.
She thinks very highly of him to the point of somewhat idealizing him, Michio notices this and it makes him anxious of disappointing her. Whenever anyone says or does anything disrespectful to Michio, Roxanne gets immediately enraged, and will want to reprimand that person, no matter who they may be.
Sherry [ ]
Sherry is Michio’s second slave. Michio first met her when he went to Alan’s house looking for a Master Smith. Michio is impressed with the knowledge Sherry has accumulated about a wide variety of subjects so he asks that whenever he doesn’t understand something that she be the one to explain it to him.
She is usually calm and collected when interacting with Michio, unlike his other slaves. She is also the one most likely to not be blinded with amazement by what he is capable of doing, and occasionally questions how he does it. But when he asks her to use her abilities as a Master Smith to do something that she believes is beyond her ability she gets fearful of failure and is slightly afraid every time he does this, although over time she seems to be getting over it.
Her attitude towards him when she is drunk is completely different, with her acting openly affectionate and needy towards him. This may imply that she has feelings for him, but is suppressing it through logic and willpower.
Miria [ ]
Miria is Michio’s third slave. Michio decided to buy her because she seemed eager and looked pretty. He and Roxanne help her learn Brahim so that they could communicate better. Michio pleases her every time he buys fish for their meals. Michio likes her happy disposition but also thinks that she is too simple-minded.
Vesta [ ]
Vesta is Michio’s fourth slave. Michio bought her at an auction. When she first arrived, Vesta was shocked and amazed at how kindly and generously Michio treated all of his slaves, especially since, as the child of two slaves, she expected to be treated more like an object. Vesta sees Michio as a benevolent person who has given her a chance to live a life she never dreamed she could have. She is so happy, that she no longer wishes to be freed from her status as a slave, something she desired her entire life.
Rutina [ ]
Rutina is Michio’s fifth slave. Michio acquired Rutina from the Duke because the latter felt that she could gain valuable experience from joining Michio’s party. Rutina originally didn’t have a very high opinion of Michio, seeing him as just a commoner used by the Duke of Harz. She stops openly being dismissive of him after she is disciplined by Roxanne. After seeing him in action in a labyrinth, she is amazed by his abilities in combat, particularly his magic as she herself uses magic.
Allies [ ]
Alan is the first Slave Merchant Michio met and the one who sold him Roxanne and Sherry. Alan seemed to have a good first impression about Michio because he felt confident that the latter could gather enough money to buy Roxanne in ten days, specifically because of how Michio spoke like an educated noble. He also helped introduce Michio to other Slave Merchants where the latter could buy slaves not found in Alan’s house.
Luke Acid [ ]
Luke is Michio’s broker. Michio has a good relationship with his broker. Michio is aware that, as a broker, Luke will fulfill the former’s request in a way that will provide the most profit for himself. However, Luke has never cheated him in any of their transactions and abides with any limits in the amount used to obtain the items Michio needs. This doesn’t stop Michio however from using his Discount Negotiation to get a better price for his transactions. Luke also acts a middleman for Michio when the Harz Duchy is looking for him.
Brocken North Braun Anhalt [ ]
Brocken, or the Duke, as Michio calls him, is a noble that has taken an interest in Michio and wants to form a mutually beneficial relationship with him. Michio thinks of Brocken a nice person, but is wary of being manipulated by him. Michio is also jealous of how beautiful his wife Cassia is.
Gozer North Braun Anhalt [ ]
Gozer is the leader of the Order of Knights of Harz Duchy. He and Michio first met when his lord, Brocken, the Duke of Harz, took an interest in the man. Michio has a high opinion of Gozer, seeing him as a hard worker who always does what is needed of him. Who Michio internally refers to as a «Man of the World».
Cassia [ ]
Cassia is the wife of Brocken. Michio found her incredibly beautiful when they first met and wishes she were his. Whenever she asks Michio to do something he is guaranteed to do it, no matter what it may be. She seems to think of Michio as a good acquaintance who helps when the Duke asks and is seemingly unaware that Michio is attracted to her.
Gaius Principus n’Impera [ ]
Gaius is the Emperor of the Empire. Michio has an amicable relationship with Gaius, but sees him as a bit of a pervert due to the latter’s fetishes.
Sebastian [ ]
Michio sees Sebastian as someone dependable who can help him with whatever matter he needs assistance as a member of the Empire Liberation Society.
Enemies [ ]
Sabo Baradam [ ]
Sabo Baradam got into conflict with Michio when a member of the former’s household was unable to defeat Roxanne in a duel. Sabo wished to fight her, but Michio decided to fight him himself. After feeling belittled by Michio he tried to kill him, but was instantly defeated and killed.
Baradam Woman [ ]
Michio disliked Baradam Woman due to how she interacted with Roxanne. However, he was willing to let her keep her life after her defeat at Roxanne’s hands.

Michio Kaga ( 加賀 道夫 Kaga Michio) is the main character of Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World. He is a normal person from Earth who was somehow transported to the Other World.
Contents
Appearance [ ]
Michio is a normal looking young man who normally wears a jersey under everything. He has purplish eyes and hair. His hairstyle notably changes subtly as the story progresses; small tufts of hair to the sides of his head stick up like devil horns (a sign of his deviousness).
Personality [ ]
In the beginning, Michio was melancholic. Because he lived a life of being perpetually bullied, being physically abused primary school and treated as an outcast in high school, he felt agitation towards most of his peers and believed that the world is rotten.
After he agreed to enter the new world he thought was just a game, he acted like he would normally play a game. When he realized that he couldn’t log out, Michio became more cautious and started acting more logical with his survival as his #1 priority.
Background [ ]
Michio lived a life of being perpetual bullied. In primary school he was physically abused so he learned kendo and aikido making him quite strong. When he reached high school he was treated as an outcast. Disinterested with the world he lived in, one day while looking over a suicide website without any real intention of suicide, an ad for what looked like a fantasy MMORPG caught his eye. Clicking on the ad, he made his way through the process of what seemed like typical character creation, but before he could choose his stat settings he had to play a roulette-like game on a page labelled as a «bonus points page». The first couple of times he received low scores usually in the 10s and 20s but since he enjoyed attempting to get the highest he could obtain he played it until he received a 99. Utilizing his bonus points, Michio tinkered with his character settings discovering that he can reset his stats at anytime since he had achieved rolling 99 bonus points. He moved his stats around until he was satisfied and clicked a button agreeing that he was ready to throw away his current world and live in another.

Aunt and Uncle [ ]
Roxanne’s aunt and uncle took her in after her parents’ deaths.
Companions [ ]
As the Number 1 Slave, Roxanne holds a position of authority among Michio’s slaves. This makes her the undisputed leader whenever Michio isn’t around, and the person who gives orders in combat when Michio himself isn’t giving any.
Michio Kaga [ ]
Roxanne feels a deep sense of loyalty and love for Michio; whom treated her with kindness and only ever becomes intimate with her permission. She is willing to follow any of his orders without question. The only exception to this is when she feels his life is in danger, although she will obey if Michio orders her to.

Roxanne’s admiration occasionally extends to delusions about Michio.
Sherry [ ]

Miria [ ]
Roxanne and Miria have a very close relationship. This began when Roxanne was forced to act as an interpreter between Miria and the rest of the party.

Roxanne knows that Miria will follow her orders and has complete trust in her.
Vesta [ ]
Roxanne and Vesta have a good relationship. Roxanne helps Vesta adapt to her new life, understanding how much better being Michio’s slave is compared to being owned by anyone else.

Roxanne acts as something of a mother/older sister towards Vesta.
Rutina [ ]
Roxanne and Rutina didn’t have an amicable relationship initially. This was due to the latter’s disrespectful attitude towards Michio; this led her to decide to discipline Rutina. Whatever was said or done wasn’t shown in detail, but now Roxanne is confident that Rutina will follow all her orders without complaint or question. This leads Roxanne to be harder on Rutina than any of Michio’s other slaves.

Despite this, she didn’t want to kill her when given the chance and was not interested in fighting her at all until the latter insulted Michio. Roxanne also feels thankful for what she did because it led to her meeting Michio and her currently happy life.

Sherry is the second party member and slave of Michio Kaga.
Contents
Appearance [ ]
Sherry is described as looking like a beautiful girl that only reached to the chest of women around 140 cm; small, thin, and lovely. Her body isn’t like a child’s, just small. A bright looking face, a slightly raised nose with big powerful eyes and a small mouth. Michio describes her as a Japanese person that looks Italian. Thick black hair that is short and curls at the shoulders.
The light novel changes her hair color to purple.
Personality [ ]
Sherry possesses a logical and inquisitive nature. She will only believe something if she can understand it or if she knows it has been proven true. Whenever she sees something she doesn’t understand she will not stop until she understands how it works; she highly values information, especially about things she has no prior knowledge of.
Normally Sherry is aloof and always in control of herself, rarely acting surprised or emotional. This mask breaks on a few occasions.
One occasion is when she is asked to use her abilities as a Master Smith to do something she believes is beyond her abilities. Because of her past failure to become a Master Smith, she greatly fears failing creating a new piece of equipment or failing to perform a successful monster card fusion.
Another is when she is drunk. When she is drunk, she acts like a completely different person and is openly affectionate to those she cares about.
Sherry is also self-conscious about her small breasts. She is jealous of the larger breasts of her female companions and is angered when someone around her shows an interests in large breasts.
Background [ ]
Sherry originally lived with her family, with her grandfather as the head. During this time, they were rather wealthy, able to afford books that normal households would be unable to pay for.
This changed when her father took over after the grandfather’s death. He was not talented and brought on the family’s downfall. Because her father didn’t have much talent, her older brother was relied on as the income for the house.
One day, Sherry’s older brother was injured in a labyrinth. They went into debt to buy medicine for the injury.
Instead of letting the debt grow and ruining her family, Sherry offered to sell herself. Her younger brother and younger sister were still small, and the older brother that supported the family couldn’t be sold, so selling her was the best option.
To her it was also the best option, as she had already failed to become a Master Smith or a Shrine Maiden. She could also learn Brahim if she became a slave, since most of the people who buy them speak Brahim. In this world, if you can speak Brahim, you can get a variety of jobs. For Sherry, the chance to learn Brahim after becoming a slave was a benefit.
Chronology [ ]
Sherry first met Michio in Alan’s House. She determines that Michio is a good master, because of how well he treats Roxanne.
Abilities [ ]
As a dwarf, she innately has great strength. Sherry is quite intelligent as well, and will often question Michio’s abilities.

Roxanne [ ]
Sherry sees Roxanne as the leader of Michio’s slaves, as she is the Number 1 Slave. She is also amazed at the wolfkin’s incredible physical prowess.

Miria [ ]

Roxanne is the first party member and slave of Michio Kaga.
Contents
Appearance [ ]
Roxanne is described as stunningly beautiful, with enchanting reddish brown eyes, magnificent lips, thick chestnut brown hair, and big breasts. Her height is similar to Michio’s, a little over 160 cm. She has soft floppy dog ears on her head.
Personality [ ]
Roxanne is a kind and patient person who normally helps those she cares about and doesn’t mind doing work if it helps others.
She does not like fighting other people and would rather get along with them. Even if they insult her, she would rather just try to ignore them. However, when someone disrespects someone she cares about she gets aggressive and defends her loved one.
In contrast with her gentle nature, she enjoys fighting demons, having fought them since she was a small child. Accordingly, she believes that before fighting, a person should be properly prepared, from preparing the right equipment to maintaining the equipment, to ensure their performance. This shows her seriousness and cautiousness.
She has a somewhat empty-headed side to her, because she thinks that anyone can dodge like her if they try, when in actuality this nearly impossible. She is also not very good at teaching people how to dodge, being very vague and using sounds instead of proper words, thinking that others will be able to understand what she means.
Roxanne’s willingness to believe almost anything Michio says shows that she has become somewhat fanatical towards him, saying that he can do what he can simply because «He’s Master». This has extended to her becoming immediately angered if someone insults him in any way.
Background [ ]
When she was young, her parents died, so she was taken in by her aunt and uncle.
In the vicinity of where she lived, NT Ants used to appear. So they used to hunt them, and collect Poison Stings. She could locate them from their smell, so there was no place for them to hide. Because their elders used to get angry, if they carried the stings home, they used to kill other demons in the forest with those stings.
If she was found out first, before they shoot twenty stings, she would simply shoot the stings while dodging its attacks. After the monster got poisoned, she would continue to dodge its attacks until it collapsed. Her attacks were completely ineffective. Not only that, if she had received even one of their attacks, she would’ve been dead. Those who were not strong enough, died even from a light graze of their attacks. She had no option but to dodge. It was safe, however, for they eventually died thanks to Poison Stings she received from NT Ants. She used to call other kids to play, but she was scolded, and was banned from playing with others. Because there was no other kid on her level.
At some point, her beauty and large breasts drew the attention of a young man, causing him to leave his fiance. The woman, blaming Roxanne for seducing him, made it so that her aunt would not be able to earn enough money to pay their taxes. In order to pay their taxes, the family was forced to sell Roxanne to slavery. To protect Roxanne from that vengeful woman, her uncle made a deal with Alan that she can’t be sold to a wolfkin. While under Alan, Roxanne learned the Brahim language.

Perhaps due to her lack of fluency in Brahim, she tends to ignore him when he is discussing science with Sherry.
Roxanne [ ]
Miria looks up to Roxanne and respects her as if she were her elder sister. She is is particularly impressed at Roxanne’s ability in battle, and imitates her movements.
Sherry [ ]
Miria seems to get along with Sherry. She knows that Sherry can provide any information that the former doesn’t possess.
Vesta [ ]
Miria is happy to be around Vesta, as this makes Vesta her junior, meaning she can call herself onee-chan.
Rutina [ ]
Miria seems to have a little bit of pity for Rutina, due to how intimidated by Roxanne she is. However, this does not stop Miria from calling herself onee-chan, even when Rutina calls her ane-sama (the more respectful version).
Slave harem in the labyrinth of the other world
Jobs are designations people of the Other World are able to choose based on their interests and abilities.
Contents
Description [ ]
Normally, a person is only able to posses a single job at a time and when a job is chosen it usually cannot be changed without great effort, but because of that, each job gives the owner job specific abilities. When one has fulfilled the requirement to change jobs their level is reset to Lv1. Michio Kaga has the unique ability to swap jobs freely but like everyone else his levels and exp does not carry over from one job to the next.
ex. (Lv5 Villager → Lv1 Warrior) ▬ (Lv30 Warrior → Lv1 Knight) ▬ (Lv50 Knight → Lv1 Holy Knight)
Jobs provide their owner with various effects, which boost the stats of the owner’s party, as well as various skills unique to the job.
Changing Jobs [ ]
To change your job, one needs to visit the guild temple in the guild of the new job one wishes to acquire. Changing jobs can also be done in the Temple of Elen, however, one can’t choose beforehand what job one will get if done this is done. If the person has not fulfilled the previous requirements of the job they want, they can’t change into it.
Michio Kaga/History
Contents
Chronology [ ]
【Prologue】 [ ]
While searching the web for suicide methods, Michio comes across an ad that asked if he wanted to be irreversibly transported to another world. With nothing else to do and thinking it was just another online fantasy RPG he accepted and created an account attempting to get best character he could create. Finished creating his character, a splash screen comes up and asks «You will now be transported to a world with the settings you choose, coming back is not possible, do you still accept». After he accepts, he passes out and is thrown into the Other World.
When he wakes up in a barn near a village, Michio is under the assumption that he’s entered the fantasy game. Although initially thrown off about how «realistic» it was he brushes it off as an advancement in virtual reality technology. Michio reaffirms his stats and setting then starts playing the game. He finds he still has his clothes on as well as a sword and ring but realizes that he lacks a pair of shoes when he sees a pair of boots outside. Thinking that it’s something similar to starter equipment, Michio puts them on, but suddenly acquires the job Thief, but he brushes it off as nothing serious. Michio heads out and inconspicuously observes villagers as he unknowingly heads closer to the village center. When he arrives, a troupe of bandits announce their attack on the village. Thinking it’s better not to get involved since he’s just a Lv1 Villager and a Lv1 Thief, he hides. As he’s hiding he sees and opportunity to level up when he realizes that the bandits are getting worn down by the villagers. He jumps out of hiding and steals the kill of many of the bandits including the bandit leader who had a surprisingly high level of Lv41. In order to have the best opportunity to kill the bandit leader, Michio waited until Tirihi’s husband, a former adventurer with a current level of 25, had died while whittling away the bandit’s life before he attacked.
Since he saved the village he gained a level in both his Villager job and his Thief job raising them both to Lv2. Later, he also gained the job Hero which has significant ability bonuses. The village chief, Somara, thanked Michio for saving the village and offered him a room and board for the however long Michio intended to stay in the village. Michio accepted his offer. By this time it was late afternoon and getting dark so Michio decided to log out, however he couldn’t find the log out screen forcing him to reality that he was not actually playing a game and that he had actually killed people (surprisingly, the latter turns out not to bother him that much).
【Village Life】 [ ]
Waking up in Somara’s house, Michio started considering his position as a guest in the village. He figured he was a nuisance to the villagers and that the only reason they treated him with respect the way they did was because of his display of power the day before. With Tirihi’s husband, the village’s former strongest combatant, dead, Michio thought that the villagers were afraid to anger him. With that in mind, Michio wasn’t actually powerful enough to take on the village so he tried to get along with them as much as possible.
Feeling the need to grind to become less vulnerable, Michio asked Somara if there were any monsters near the village to which he replied that there weren’t any monsters but there was the demon called a Slow Rabbit in the forest near by which usually takes a few villagers to take down but is generally weak. Michio decide to grind on the Slow Rabbit and is able to collect 5 Rabbit’s Furs and 1 portion of Rabbit’s Meat. Though the grinding he elevates Villager job and his Thief job raising them both to Lv3 however the Hero job remained at Lv1. He gives the meat to Somara for dinner and sells the fur to the village’s merchant.
Travel [ ]
The next day Micho and Bikka departed for Vale at sunrise. While traveling they saw a Slow Rabbit as well as a Gumi Slime. Bikka told Michio about the Gumi Slime and said that they should wait until it leaves their path, but Michio decides to kill it using Durandal. It takes 2 hits with Durandal to finish it and it drops Slime Starch that Bikka purchases off of Michio for 80 nars and also pays him tenfold for protecting the wagon, but thanks to Michio’s 30% selling bonus he gets a total of 1040 nars.
Vale Errands [ ]
The first stop in Vale is at the slave merchant’s, Alan’s, trading company. There they sell the villager come slave for 30,000 nars. Bikka gets 15,000 for the village and Michio gets 19,500 nars because of his 30% selling bonus. Alan mentions the possibility of Michio buying a slave to which Michio is taken aback momentarily when he considered buying a female slave and its possibilities. Alan invited Michio to return if he ever felt so inclined.
The next stop was to the knight headquarters. There they receive the reward for the defeated thieves from Radia Maxi Nantes Gozzeru. She tosses Michio a sack with the reward in it, advises them to leave quickly, and then returns to the headquarters.
The final two stops were the weapons and armor shops where they sold the thieves’ equipment and one of Tirihi’s swords. At the Weapons Shop they sell the Copper Swords, the Iron Sword, the Flame Rapier for a total of 30,550 nars and decide not to sell the Scimitar and one of the copper swords which has an empty slot. Michio gives Bikka 250 nars each for 2 Copper Swords, 18,000 nars for Tirihi’s Flame Rapier, and 1,500 nars to buy the unsold Scimitar that was estimated to be worth 500 nars by the weapons merchant off him totaling 20,000 nars. At the Armor Shop the sell the Thief’s Bandanna, Iron Armor, Leather Armors, and Leather Shoes for a total of 3,692 nars.
Alan’s Offer [ ]
After parting with Bikka, Michio returns to Alan’s to hear more about the town’s workings as well as to inquire more about buying a slave. After a brief conversation Alan offers Roxanne as a slave to which he is exhilarated. Alan explains Roxanne’s selling points and the general benefits of owning a slave, particularly a female slave. When Alan tells Michio the price, Michio he realizes that she is not with his budget but decides to look at other slaves only to be disappointed. Michio tells Alan that the others simply pale in comparison to Roxanne but it was just unfortunate that he cannot afford her, but to his surprise Alan offers to reserve Roxanne for 10 days in order for Michio to have time to collect enough money to which Michio eagerly agrees.
【Vale Labyrinth】 [ ]
Preparation [ ]
Michio heads off towards the Explorer’s Guild to look for employment because Alan said that money can be made easily in a labyrinth. He discovers that he cannot read what’s written on the job board so he pays a young girl to read it for him. After finding nothing of immediate importance, he heads to the Vale Pavilion on the suggestion from Alan. At the inn he meets the Innkeeper and pays for 2 days of room and board. He checks out the room for a while but leaves for the labyrinth soon after.
First Expedition [ ]
On the first floor of the labyrinth Michio gains the job Explorer and learns how to use the skills Dungeon Walk and Items Box Operation using Incantation Shortening. He explores for a while and finds himself in a Demon Room and surrounded by Needle Woods. He fights his way through them using Durandal and Overwhelming. At the end he picks up a bunch of and branches and three leaves.
First Intermission [ ]
Michio returns to the Vale Pavilion around evening and receives advice about where to sell his loot. He quickly heads to the Adventurer’s Guild before they shut down for the night. There he sells the branches but keeps the leaves. When he returns to the Vale Pavilion he eats dinner and heads to his room. He decides to rearrange the order of his jobs and discovers that he had gained the jobs Warrior, Swordsman, Merchant, and Herbalist. Interested in the Herbalist’s skill Crude Drug Creation, Michio used it on a leaf and 10 antidotes were crafted.
Second Expedition [ ]
Michio wakes up rather early in the morning, and after having a conversation with the Innkeeper, leaves the inn. Outside he decides to try out Warp to go the the labyrinth, where he tries out the Warrior’s skill Rush. Later that day he arrives in the waiting room, where he finds people waiting in line. One of the people there tell him that the line is for entering the boss room and that when you defeat the boss you can go to the next floor. He enters the boss room and fights an Udo Wood. After a little difficulty he defeats it and gets a Wand.
Becoming a Wizard [ ]
Michio explores the second floor the next day and starts hunting Needle Woods and Green Caterpillars. He realizes that if he encounters more Demon Rooms he will be in trouble, so he decides to learn how to attack with magic. He tries using Meteor Crash but he still doesn’t have enough MP for it. He then tries Total MP Release which will use all of his MP for one magic attack. He succeeds and gets the Wizard job, but finds out that expending all of his MP causes him to experience severe depression. He starts to learn what kind of spells are available to him now and how powerful they are. Michio leaves the labyrinth for the Adventurer’s Guild. He hears an Adventurer ask if anyone wants to go to the Imperial Capital. He decides to go there on a whim, allowing him to go there anytime with his Warp.
【Bounty Hunting】 [ ]
New Source of Income [ ]
The next day, Michio challenges the second floor boss, White Caterpillar. He defeats it and goes on to the next floor. He finds the Kobolds there too weak. Michio finds that he is not earning money fast enough to buy Roxanne and decides to do some bounty hunting.
Searching for Thieves [ ]
Michio starts his search in the slums. He find nothing and decides to go to the labyrinth’s fourth floor for a while. He finds and defeats a Mino but is scared of being skewered. He returns to the slums and finds a few thieves harassing a woman. He watches as they take her away and does nothing to help.
More Information [ ]
Extermination [ ]
After leaving the guild, Michio comes across a thief. He follows the thief outside of town but stops when it gets dark. The next day, with the deadline being tomorrow, Michio decides to head out and find the hideout, which he does after secretly following a thief he finds in the forest. He goes back to get some sleep before finishing them off. Early the next day, he uses Warp to get inside the cave where he finds four thieves sleeping. Using the element of surprise and a little magic, Michio quickly dispatches all of them. He decides to cut off their left wrists to retrieve their Intelligence Cards and leaves the cave.
Collecting the Bounty [ ]
After some contemplation, Michio decides to claim his bounty from the local Order of Knights, claiming that they attacked him, in revenge for killing their comrades in Somara Village. His reward for killing the thieves and delivering their Intellegence Cards, combined with the money on him is enough to purchase Roxanne.
【First Slave】 [ ]
Becoming a Master [ ]
Michio returns to the Slave Trading Company and asks for Alan. Thanks to his Discount Negotiation, he only needs to pay 422,800 nars for Roxanne. Alan tells him that it is his obligation to provide his slave with residence, meals, and pay for their taxes. If he abandons his obligations or treats his slave remarkably unfairly, his contract will be annulled.
Learning and Understanding [ ]
Michio and Roxanne return to the inn, where Michio tells Roxanne what they will do for the foreseeable future. Upon learning that Roxanne can read Brahim, Michio asks her to teach him. He allows her to sit on the bed, when she tries to sit on the floor and asks to touch her ears. He calls her a beauty and her ears cute, Roxanne embarrassingly thanks him. When Roxanne notices Michio doesn’t seem to know things that should be common sense, he says that he comes from a far away place and needs her help to learn common knowledge. He tells her that they will enter labyrinths, and Roxanne says that he can leave it to her.
【Life WIth Roxanne】 [ ]
Secrets [ ]
Before they leave for the labyrinth, Michio asks how one becomes a Monk. Roxanne replies that it requires strict training as well as the ability to fight bare-handed. Michio also learns that when a party is formed, experience is shared. Michio surprises Roxanne when he uses Warp to directly enter the labyrinth. He then tells her that this is a secret and that from now on she will have to keep a lot of the things he is able to do a secret. Roxanne agrees and calls him amazing.
Roxanne’s Abilities [ ]
When they encounter a demon, Michio surprises Roxanne again when he uses magic to defeat it. Michio then instructs Roxanne to always use her sense of smell to find demons while avoiding other people so that they don’t see his abilities.
Roxanne demonstrates her incredible agility by avoiding all the attacks thrown at her with only a few centimeters or millimeters separating her from her opponents, which impresses Michio. Michio also learns from Roxanne that without Brahim, people can’t use skills. They both gain the Monk job with little difficulty.
New House [ ]
After a few days in Vale, Michio decides that he can’t stay in the Vale Pavilion any longer now that he has Roxanne. He decides to find a new place of residence in the town of Quratar after Roxanne tells him that many Explorers live there. They find a house big enough for a few people, and coated in Shield Cement for them to live in.
New Environment [ ]
Michio and Roxanne explore Quratar’s Labyrinth, and learn to live in their new environment. Michio gains the Alchemist job by complete accident while making soap. The ease when washing using soap, alongside the delicious food and opportunity to bathe with her master, all amaze Roxanne. Michio eventually decides to get another slave to increase their fighting potential and asks Roxanne her opinion. Roxanne agrees, so they head out to Alan’s trading company.
【Second Slave】 [ ]
Meeting Alan Again [ ]
Michio and Roxanne return to Alan’s and ask for a Master Smith slave. Alan informs them that Master Smith slaves are rare and that the only dwarf he has doesn’t have the job. Michio decides to see the dwarf anyway, knowing he could either change her job to one if she has it, or help her get it if she doesn’t. He is introduced to Sherry, who Michio decides to purchase, because he knows that he might be able to change her job later.
Slave
A Slave is someone, who for various reasons, is no longer a regular person and is treated like an object.
Description [ ]
A slave is someone who has lost their right as a regular person and essentially becomes equivalent to an object. This does not necessarily mean that becoming a slave will lead to only a life of hardship.
Anyone who owns a slave is obligated to provide their slave food, clothes, and shelter. Slave owners also have to pay a tax for their slave alongside their own. If a slave owner abandons their obligations or treats their slaves remarkably unfairly, their contract is annulled. If the slave owner dies, so does the slave. This doesn’t occur if the owner arranges for someone else to inherit their slave or if they are set free.
Everything a slave owner buys for the slave is considered the slave owner’s property, not the slave’s. On their first year as a slave, their owner has to pay a tax of 10,000 nars. After their first year, this increases to 30,000 nars.
Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
Chapter 131
*Raised as a dead by Cyro* (12/12) On the twelfth day of Christmas, RTD gave to me twelve chapters of Slave Harem! P.S. How are you guys doing for the competition? December 26th is was the deadline. (It has now been extended to December 31st)
Translated by airsblue Edited by mranon
The last night was hot. I was clinging to Vesta when I woke up this morning. Her cold body felt good. After spring, comes summer, apparently.
Under the dim light, I get up. Miria brings my shirt in a frenzy. Vesta required her help putting on her equipment. Vesta expresses her gratitude.
“Miria, thanks.” “Okay, desu.”
After I put on my equipment, I express my gratitude, too. After having confirmed that everyone was geared up, I cast Warp. Vesta is fine, apparently.
We move to the labyrinth. It’s not particularly hot inside the labyrinth. Temperature here seems to be maintained, somehow. It must be cold outside Haruba for it is situated in the north.
Michio Kaga | Male | 17 years old Explorer Lv44 | Hero Lv40 | Wizard Lv42 | Monk Lv42 | Bounty Hunter Lv1 Equipment | Rod of Offerings | Hard Leather Hat | Alba | Dragon Leather Gloves | Dragon Leather Shoes | Sacrificial Misanga
Roxanne | ♀ | 16 years old Knight Lv24 Equipment | Estoc | Steel Shield | Damascus Steel Forehead Protector | Dragon Leather Jacket | Hard Leather Gloves | Hard Leather Shoes of Willow | Sacrificial Misanga
Sherry | ♀ | 16 years old Master Smith Lv33 Equipment | Steel Spear of Authority | Hard Leather Hat | Chainmail | Water Resistant Leather Mittens | Hard Leather Shoes | Sacrificial Misanga
Miria | ♀ | 15 years old Diver Lv33 Equipment | Rapier | Iron Shield | Poison Resistant Hard Leather Hat | Chainmail | Hard Leather Gloves | Hard Leather Shoes | Sacrificial Misanga
Vesta | ♀ | 15 years old Dragon Knight Lv11 Equipment | Steel Sword | Iron Sword | Strengthened Hard Leather Hat | Steel Platemail | Steel Gauntlets | Steel Demi-greaves | Sacrificial Misanga
Because Vesta now has better equipment, there’s no need for Plating. I decide to remove Alchemist in order to level up Bounty Hunter. If I use Fourth job, I can reduce Required Experience to 1/20th and increase Gained Experience to 20x, but it can’t be helped.
I can’t do without Monk. Explorer, Hero, and Wizard are indispensable, too, so I can’t remove these four. For the time being, if I need Cook or Warrior, I will select it as Fifth job.
“Vesta seems to be able to fight. For now, during the exploration, let her stand in the center of the front. There is no need to be worried about the number or the type of monsters.”
I issue instructions to Roxanne. Instead of adding a Fifth job, I decide to change the activity pattern in the labyrinth. Since all the party members are here, there’s no need to take it slow, is there?
My jobs hardly level up after going past Lv40. Also, both Sherry’s and Miria’s jobs are leveling up slowly after hitting 30s. It is probably because we are not challenging floors appropriate for our level. The only difference between Sherry & others and myself is the Required Experience 1/10th skill, If I’m not wrong.
As someone level 30-40, I am sure we are supposed to challenge higher floors. If we move up the floors, the experience we gain will increase, and so will our level. I was well aware of it but I put our safety first. However, it is about time to advance more aggressively.
During boss battles, we usually surround them, while I finish them off from the back. When I step forward and use Durandal, I can use HP Absorption skill. Roxanne, naturally, and Miria, too, hardly receive attacks. It is perhaps more logical for us to challenge higher floors.
Even so, that doesn’t mean I have to jump to a higher floor right away. I will continue to move up one floor at a time like I have been. I will have to speed up a bit, that’s what I mean.
We advance mechanically along the wall of the labyrinth. Roxanne is still guiding us, but I don’t care about the monsters now. We can change the direction according to the monsters ahead, but there is no need to stop. The encounters with the groups of monsters have decreased. We are encountering lone monsters more.
One, or maybe two? Or sometimes, a group of two Fly Traps and one Clamshell. I am deeply moved by how Roxanne has managed to avoid them thus far.
I cast [Firestorm] on a group of two Fly Traps and one Clamshell, and prepare for the encounter. The Clamshell is resistant to fire magic, but the Fly Traps are weak against fire. Since there is more of the latter, it is probably better to use it. The vanguards and the monsters clash.
Roxanne with her estoc, Miria with her rapier, slash at them. Vesta cuts them using her dual swords. Vesta receives the counter attack of the Fly Trap using the steel sword in her right, and using the iron sword in her left hand, she smashes the monster down. When the monster attacks her from the left, she blocks it using the iron sword in her left hand, and using the steel sword in her right, she smashes it on the ground with a swing from the top.
Is this the dual sword style? It is terrifying. What would I do if I were against an opponent like her? There will be no problem if she can fend off monsters’ attacks in this fashion.
After I finish off the Fly Traps using fire spell, we surround the remaining Clamshell. It’s especially scary when it attacks from the side. Vesta takes it down using both her swords at the same time The spectacle looks like someone beating a drum.
The Clamshell desperately hurls its body. It tries to attack Vesta from the side, but Vesta receives it with her sword. Rather than receiving the attack, it was more like offsetting the attack with a slash.
Had it attacked Roxanne instead, she would have dodged it lightly. You can’t tell if it is a Clamshell anymore. I shoot a [Sand Ball]. The shell collapses. It was settled immediately.
“It was a long battle but it didn’t look like anyone had a hard time. I guess it will be fine if we advance to higher floors as we are.” “Yes. As we are, there should not be any problem.”
Roxanne says. Rather, if there were an enemy strong even for Roxanne, everyone except her would get wiped out.
“Vesta doesn’t seem to have any problem.” “Yes, I am fine.” “It was an impressive attack.” “Thank you very much.”
Because I have changed her equipment, I am not using Plating anymore. I should perhaps let an attack hit Vesta on purpose, but I don’t want to make it a habit. Receiving an attack is not a pleasant experience. It is better not to force her do it. And I made her do it only yesterday.
Judging from yesterday, I feel that she would be fine even if received several attacks. At the very least, there is no chance for her to die from a single blow. The way she fights, she will end up receiving an attack anyway.
Even though I was of that idea, we reached the boss room of Haruba’s 18th floor without Vesta having received a single attack. Is it thanks to the change in our pattern of exploration? I should be happy about the fact that she didn’t receive any attack.
I bring Durandal out, and enter the boss room. I knock down the Kettle Mermaid and the Animal Trap.
During the boss battles, I could transfer Durandal to Vesta and became a fort myself. But it might not be the most offensive formation. Since I can use Rush, it’s not a waste. Even though I can make Vesta a warrior, too, I can use Incantation Interruption myself. In addition, if I have Durandal, I can move freely in case something happens.
Now that I think about it, because I use Durandal, the boss battles feel naturally easier. I wonder how the boss battles will go if I don’t use Durandal? Will it be a tough fight? As long as Roxanne continues to dodge.
In short, we seem to be able to win. I mean, it’s not like there’s a need to use our maximum firepower. As far as attacking capability is concerned, I can also use Durandal while casting spells. Currently, however, there’s no need for that.
“The monster native to Haruba’s 19th floor is Rub Shrub.” “It’s weak against fire magic, right?” “That’s right.”
We proceed to 19th floor while Sherry briefs. So, following Fly Traps on 18th floor, there are Rub Shrubs on 19th floor, both of which are weak against fire. It looks like the battles on Haruba’s 19th floor will be relatively easier.
“Roxanne, can you first guide us to a place with just Rub Shrubs, please?” “Certainly. This way.”
While advancing under Roxanne’s guidance, we come across three Rub Shrubs. Because there were only Rub Shrubs, I baked them well.
“What was that? Can’t it fight, at all?” “As expected of Master.”
Not at all. Whether it can fight or not depends on whether the vanguards can take on its attacks or not. That and my magic create a good balance resulting in this extermination speed. As we move up the floors, the number of magic attacks required to finish them off will increase, too.
“It is still early but how about leaving the labyrinth for now, and then break through Quratar’s 18th floor before the afternoon?” “Very well. I guess it will be better.”
After I obtain Roxanne’s consent, we take some rest. Vesta has yet to receive any attack. I can safely bet on Quratar’s 18th floor.
“Roxanne, along the way, try to find a place with a lot of Ma Breams.” “Understood.”
I hand Roxanne the map, and take us to Quratar’s 18th floor. I remove Bounty Hunter Lv25 and select Cook. As expected, Bounty Hunter leveled up quickly.
“Miria, we will be having lean tuna today, so how about having whole fish for dinner tomorrow?” “Yes, desu.”
I shouldn’t spoil her too much. I should avoid having a fish everyday. We head to the boss room of Quratar’s 18th floor.
We advance under Roxanne’s guidance. We fought a large number of Ma Breams. We encounter a group of three Ma Breams and two Pig Hogs. Pig Hog has resistance against earth magic, which is the weakness of Ma Bream, but the items they drop are important.
When I cast [Sandstorm], three Ma Breams and a Pig Hog step in front. The remaining Pig Hog falls back. Roxanne makes a preemptive attack, and thrusts her Estoc. Vesta strikes using her swords as well.
One of the Ma Breams charges at Miria, but she blocks the attack using her shield. Vesta receives the Pig Hog’s head butt with her iron sword, and returns the favor with an attack using her steel sword at the same time. Two Mabreams start attacking Roxanne, who was in the center, but Roxanne manages to dodge them perfectly. How did she even manage to dodge the attacks coming from left and right at the same time?
Yellow magic formation appears under the Pig Hog, but Sherry cancels it using her spear. Another magic formation appears under the Pig Hog in the back.
The Pig Hog spits out mud. Roxanne easily dodges it, so does Sherry. It seems there was no problem this time around, too.
I finish the three Ma Bream off with another [Sandstorm]. I then switch to [Water Storm], and tidy up the remaining two. It took some time, but that’s okay. Fighting against a group of monsters with opposite weaknesses and resistances, we managed to fight without any trouble.
“Whole fish, desu.”
Miria brings over the whole fish. Apparently, One of the three Ma Breams dropped a whole fish. With this, I now have two.
“Are two whole fish enough?” “Yes, desu.”
When I ask Miria, she replies energetically. But that’s just her. Are two really enough for everyone? Well, Vesta doesn’t particularly seem to eat a lot.
However, it would be troublesome if they were to hold a grudge against each other due to reduced share. That said, it will be difficult to increase the serving to one each. Is two fine, then? Well, it’s your Onee-chan who decided that.
“Since we have got two whole fish, we will now head straight to the boss room.” “Understood.”
I issue instructions to Roxanne, and remove Cook. Vesta still hasn’t received any attack. My next bet was on the small chance during the boss battle, but even that failed.
She did not receive any damage even during the boss battle. Originally, during the boss battles, there is hardly any chance for anyone except for Roxanne to receive an attack. Aside from me, who deals with the small fry at the start of the boss battle. Incidentally, there is no chance for Roxanne to get hit.
“The monster native to Quratar’s 19th floor is Rtoll Troll. Its attacks don’t contain poison but there is a chance for its attacks to inflict paralysis. It is resistant to wind magic, and weak against fire magic.”
After finishing of the boss, we receive briefing from Sherry on 19th floor.
“Let’s try to fight at least once. Roxanne, please guide us.” “This way.”
We proceed under Roxanne’s guidance. Two hairy, grey monsters appear. Rtoll Troll Lv19. An ape man. No, it looks more like an old geezer you can find wandering on the streets.
I can’t tell where its eyes are since it is covered fully in hair. Besides, it really looks bad. It doesn’t resemble a human even a tiny bit. It is a monster, after all.
I cast [Firestorm]. The Rtoll Trolls approach slowly with their big feet. So huge. Almost as big as Vesta.
When they close in, they raise their hairy arms up, and smack down. Roxanne, with a sway, dodges it. The second one attacks Miria. Miria, too, manages to evade it, somehow.
Before we receive another attack, I cast another [Firestorm]. Vesta turns to it’s side, and attacks using both her swords. Sherry pierces it with her spear. Eventually, I burn them down using another fire spell. The Rtoll Trolls drop down.
“This is all, huh?”
It was a monster we fought for first time, but it wasn’t a strong one. It will stay like this up to 22nd floor, I guess. Until the battles become more difficult, it will be hard to raise level by even 1, it seems. If that’s the case, I guess we can afford to move further up.
“Even this floor is not much of a problem. As expected of Master.” “Rtoll Trolls don’t pose any threat.” “Yes, desu.” “I think it will be alright.”
Setting what Roxanne said aside, if even Sherry says there is no problem with Rtoll Trolls, it must really be the case.
“Today, Vesta did not receive any attack on 18th floor. Will you be alright fighting on 19th floor like that?” “Yes. I barely felt any pain from yesterday’s attacks, so I think I will be alright.”
Is Vesta really alright? Because she herself says she is alright, I guess she really is. There is a possibility that she has high tolerance for pain. Nah, she realized it probably when I was healing her. She stopped me after just one cast, so I guess it is not the case.
Even if it is 19th floor, I don’t think she will be done in with a single blow. And if it does come to pass, Sacrificial Misanga will activate. I guess we will be fine fighting on 19th floor as we are.

The Baradam Woman had green eyes and long shiny light brown hair like a doll’s, curled into drills.
Michio notes that compared to Roxanne, the Baradam Woman’s appearance in nothing special.
Personality [ ]
The Baradam Woman possessed a vengeful personality. When her fiance left her, she blamed Roxanne even though the latter didn’t actually do anything.
She was also prideful, quick to say how superior she is and how inferior others are compared to her.
She got easily frustrated when things don’t go her way. When things really get bad, she easily becomes fearful.
Background [ ]
The Baradam Woman was once engaged to a man. This engagement fell apart when he left her because of his infatuation with Roxanne.
Six months before the beginning of the story, even though Roxanne didn’t actually do anything, the Baradam Woman blamed her and challenged her to a duel. Although Roxanne was too weak to beat her, she was able to avoid all of the Baradam Woman’s attacks, resulting in a draw. Frustrated, the Baradam Woman then made sure that Roxanne’s aunt wouldn’t be able to pay their taxes, leading to Roxanne being sold to slavery.
At some point after this, she joined Sabo Baradam’s party and started entering labyrinths.
Chronology [ ]
The Baradam Woman and her party ran into Roxanne and her party in the twelfth floor of Bode’s Labyrinth. The Baradam Woman immediately started to insult Roxanne as soon as they started talking. She starts bragging that she has gotten stronger over the last six months.
She then states that her family is in the area to help Sabo locate and defeat Simon The Mad Dog, unaware that he has already been killed by Michio.
She then starts saying things like how unfortunate it is that Roxanne’s a slave because of her family’s money problems, and started bragging that it was easy for her to make it happen as a member of the Baradam Family. She then starts insulting Michio, calling him weak, angering Roxanne.
This causes the Baradam Woman to challenge Michio to a duel. This is because slaves can’t be challenged, but they can fight as a proxy. They proceed to the Order of Harz Duchy Knights headquarters to get permission. With Gozer as witness, the two proceeded to fight. Because of Roxanne’s phenomenal ability to dodge, the Baradam Woman is unable to hit her. After a while Roxanne thrusts her rapier at her opponent’s throat, causing the Sacrificial Misanga the Baradam Woman was wearing to be destroyed.
The Baradam Woman tries to fight on, but is stopped by Sabo, who give her an Orb of Self Destruction. He tells her to use it to at least let the duel end in a double K.O., but the Baradam Woman wasn’t willing to commit suicide. Because she refused to use it, and because Michio tells Roxanne to spare her, the duel is declared a draw. Sabo then marches up to the Baradam Woman and decapitates her, calling her a disgrace.
Abilities [ ]
The Baradam Woman was a reasonably skilled fighter, being able to raise her Beast Warrior job to level 29.
Equipment [ ]
Relationships [ ]
Family [ ]
Sabo Baradam [ ]
The Baradam Woman greatly feared Sabo, as she knew that he would kill her without a second thought if he felt like it.
Enemies [ ]
Roxanne [ ]
The Baradam Woman was jealous of Roxanne and blamed the latter for the breakdown in the former’s relationship with her fiance.
Michio Kaga [ ]

Labyrinth
Labyrinths are structures that appear in random locations all over the Other World.
Contents
Overview [ ]
Labyrinths are described as creatures that lure in people to digest, using the demons inside themselves to kill invaders. Because labyrinths are produced by magic, you will not find a part of them if you dig around one. When labyrinths consume people they leave behind any items their victims had. If this is done in a boss room, the items will remain there for the next challengers. Eventually, the items get absorbed and sent to solitary rooms as treasure chests. People enter labyrinths to earn money by selling demon drops as well as gain experience.
Layout [ ]
The layout of all labyrinths have some similarities. Every floor is filled with one kind of floor demon as well as the floor demons in the previous three floors, with decreasing probability the farther the current floor is from the previous floor in question. The maximum number of demons that can appear in a room increases by one at a rate of every (2^x)th floor.
Some rooms are Demon Rooms, rooms that fill up with demons until someone enters the room, meaning the invader is forced to fight a mob of demons.
Other rooms are safety spots, where no demons appear. Sometimes there are treasure chests in these rooms, although it could be a mimic in disguise.
To advance to the next floor, one must find the boss room of that floor and defeat the floor boss. There can only be one party in the boss room at any time, if there is already a party inside when you arrive, you’ll have to wait in the waiting room.
Labyrinths also grow over time, so the total amount of floors cannot be determined unless one actually reaches the top. Labyrinths can only be killed if someone kills the boss on the top floor. The minimum number of floors a labyrinth can have is fifty.
Demons [ ]
The demons in every eleven floors are the same in every labyrinth. However, the order they appear in will be different. The level of the demons is equal to the floor number they are found on. There is also a difference in power for every eleven floors. Every eleven floors, the power of the demons increases to about 1.5x-2x the power of demons from the previous eleven floors.
Starting with the twelfth floor, one other demon found on the same floor accompanies the boss, it increases to two at the twenty-third floor. The floor demons found above the thirty-third floor are the floor bosses of the previous floors in the same order. Starting at the thirty-fourth floor, the boss room contains two floor bosses and no floor demons. The final boss is particularly powerful, because of its ability to possibly destroy equipment it hits.
Demons from the labyrinth can also get outside to attack people. The more people who enter the labyrinth, the less likely this is to happen. Demons outside of the labyrinth are always Lv1.
Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
Chapter 139
mranon here (once again). Here’s your third and final Slave Harem chapter for the week. See y’all next week. Enjoy the read.
Next morning. By the time we finished exploration, my Merchant job had reached Lv30. As I conjectured, I have acquired Slave Merchant Lv1. It’s confirmed now that it requires Merchant Lv30.
For some reason, I have acquired one more job. There seem to be more derivative jobs of Merchant. It’s called Jobless.
Jobless Lv1 Effects | Empty Skills | Effect Settings | Skill Settings | Empty
I don’t get how Jobless can be a derivative job of Merchant. There are empty effect and skill slots present. Are the effect and skill slots empty because their settings haven’t been configured yet? They seem to be same as empty skill slots on equipment.
Jobless seems to be able to set an effect and a skill. There are two skills – Effect Settings and Skill Settings – so I can set it myself, I believe. It seems to be a really interesting job.
“On that subject, Sherry, do you know about a job called Jobless?”
After leaving the labyrinth in order to buy ingredients for breakfast, I ask Sherry while walking. Sherry may know something.
“It’s a job found only in legends. Not much details of that job are known.”
It’s called Jobless, it can not be famous for money, can it?
“It’s not well known?” “Long ago, there was someone who claimed they had that job. As for the details of the job, no one knows.”
It doesn’t seem to be well known. It seems to be a rare job.
“That person, who claimed that they were Jobless, didn’t disclose any details?” “They just spontaneously spread the word one day that they were Jobless.” “It sounds like a useless job.”
What kind of a man would declare himself that he’s jobless?
“I have heard something in this regard. Wasn’t Crown Prince Jobless, too?”
Roxanne seems to know something. As expected of the world renowned Toyama Sakura. (TN: I have no idea in what context the author said this) He’s crown prince, not shogun?
“Crown Prince?” “That’s right, Crown Prince. He has been disinherited, however. He is said to be the worst crown prince in the successive generations. He’s a man with no patience. He quits one job and takes another, and keeps doing it over and over again. Furthermore, lying is his forte. He’s a true good-for-nothing. An imperial good-for-nothing.”
That’s harsh. Oh well, he’s a NEET crown prince, after all. It’s better to keep Jobless concealed from the world.
“Words of such a person can’t be taken seriously.”
O-O-O-Oh I shut my mouth up and listen quietly. Crown Prince must have had his own reasons. That’s probably why he took various jobs.
I was of the idea that Jobless is a derivative job of Merchant but it doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s probably acquired by acquiring different jobs. When I acquired Slave Merchant, I must have reached the requisite number.
There’s no relationship between Merchant and Jobless. It is just a coincidence that I acquired it after my Merchant job reached Lv30. Is Jobless by any chance the last job? That’s not possible for I haven’t acquired Adventurer and Priest yet.
Is there an upper limit in respect of the number of jobs one can possess? There’s no such thing, probably, so I don’t need to be worried too much. My worries are unfounded. They have to be unfounded.
To relieve my anxiety, I switch my sixth job to Jobless. I invoke Effect Settings. A long list of job effects floats up inside my head. I was of the idea that I would have to choose one from the effects of Jobless. However, I can choose from the effects of other jobs, too, it seems. Interesting.
Because there are Explorer, Hero, Wizard and Monk in the list, it seems to allow you to choose one from the effects of the jobs you possess. If you could select the strongest effect and skill of the strongest job via Effect and Skill Settings, Jobless would be the strongest job.
You can choose an effect only from the jobs you possess. In a way, you won’t be jobless anymore. In other words, the more the jobs one has, the stronger Jobless becomes.
As the effect of Jobless, I select the most powerful, Hero’s Medium Increase in Intelligence. With Increase in Intelligence, my magic attack power will increase, too.
Jobless Lv1 Effects | Medium Increase in Intelligence Skills | Effect Settings | Skill Settings | Empty
It’s configurable, indeed. It’s a pity, though, that I can set only one. If it weren’t limited to one, it would be better than Hero.
Hero has eight job effects. Allow me to choose three, at least. If it could allow three or four effects and skills, it would be best for someone like Roxanne who can use no more than one job.
Even if I could select two effects, it would be better. I would choose two Medium Increase in Intelligence effects. If there were two empty slots, would it let me choose two Medium Increase in Intelligence effects? If not, would it let me choose one Medium Increase in Intelligence and one Small Increase in Intelligence? Vesta’s Dragon Knight has one Medium Increase in Endurance, one Small Increase in Endurance and one Minute Increase in Endurance.
Oh well, there’s no use in talking about ‘ifs’. In my case, since I can use multiple jobs, there has to be a mechanism to use multiple jobs.
Next, I try to set the skill. I choose Item Box skill of Explorer. While buying food ingredients, I open Item Box to confirm it.
Item box has gained only one new column beside the previously available 44 columns. Because Jobless was acquired just now, the Item Box of Jobless could only add one column Since Jobless is only Lv1, the capacity of its Item Box is merely 1×1. It’s same as when I acquired Explorer.
Just because I chose the Item Box of Explorer Lv44 doesn’t mean that its capacity would be 44×44. The level of the skill seems to depend on the level of the job.
Is it perhaps same in case of effect, too? Even though I chose Medium Increase in Intelligence effect of Hero Lv41, the degree of increment will be that of Jobless Lv1. It’s a shame.
Nah, because you don’t need to level up both the jobs, isn’t it great? If you had to level up both Jobless and the job which the skill was borrowed from, wouldn’t that be terrible? Not for me, though, for I can use multiple jobs.
What will happen if I choose Cook’s Item Box skill? Will it be 30 columns like Cook’s? Let’s try.
I invoke Skill Settings to choose a job… I can’t.
Eh? Don’t tell me. Can a skill be set only once?
No way! Let’s try again. Just as I feared, I can’t. The skill seems to be able to be set only once.
Gahn! I was careless. I have made a blunder.
I chose such a petty skill as Item Box. Oh well, it’ll be of some use when it reaches Lv99.
“Err, let’s return quickly and eat something.”
If it’s a one-use only skill, mention it! Skill Settings is a one-use only skill, huh? Or is there such a thing as skill setting rights?
Nope. You can’t rewrite a skill in the skill slot of an equipment. It must be same in this case, too. It was imprudent of me to think that it was possible. At the very least, because I chose Medium Increase in Intelligence effect, I have saved some face.
Jobless seems to be able to choose one skill and one effect from the available jobs only once. To be able to choose a skill and an effect from different jobs, it’s fitting for a job that’s acquired by acquiring numerous jobs. But it’s one-use only.
If that’s the case, then there’s a weight in the theory that Jobless is the last job. If Jobless is the last job, then you don’t have to be concerned about the jobs that you may acquire later on when choosing the skill and the effect from the jobs that you already possess. I have made a blunder.
I prepare breakfast to distract myself. It’s not delicious. It must be the first time after coming to this world. Haa
Now that I think about it, is Effect Settings a one-use only skill, too? When I think about it, the meal becomes even less delicious. After having breakfast, I try to invoke Effect Settings.
I can choose. Effect Settings doesn’t seem to be a one-use only skill. How many times can Effect Settings be used then?
Twice, perhaps? I wonder. I try to choose Small Increase in Endurance effect of Explorer. I have already chosen such a petty skill as Item Box, so it doesn’t matter anymore.
Jobless Lv1 Effects | Small Increase in Endurance Skills | Effect Settings | Skill Settings | Item Box
Apparently, you can choose both the skill and the effect of the same job. In that case, because I already have Explorer, which is obviously better, I don’t need this one. Can I turn the effect back to Medium Increase in Intelligence? I try to invoke Effect Settings and choose a job… I can’t.
Eh? Two-use only, really? I try again, flustered. I can’t. No way!
No, wait. Reuse time? It suddenly occurs to me, so I try to invoke Skill Settings again. I can choose now.
What a relief. After using Effect Settings and Skill settings once, I seem to need to wait before using them again. They’re not one-use or two-use only skills.
If I think about it, Skill Settings didn’t disappear after using it once. Now I get why.
Reuse time, huh? I see. Exactly how long is the cooldown period, though? Last I used it was before buying food ingredients. From then till now, how much time has passed? About an hour, maybe?
Which means that I can’t use it frequently. There’s no need to change the effect every time. Nope. When using Durandal, I’ll have to change it to Medium Increase in Strength. When using magic, I’ll have to change it back to Medium Increase in Intelligence. Isn’t it?
As the skill of Jobless, I choose Basic Fire Magic of Wizard. Currently, it’s not possible for me to cast two fire spells simultaneously. However, isn’t it so because they belong to the same job? Right after casting a spell, it is possible to cast Heal (of Monk). It is also possible to open Item Box (of Explorer) and invoke Crude Medicine Concoction (of Herbalist).
Furthermore, bonus spells can be used right after, too. Even if I can’t use multiple spells of Wizard simultaneously, I may be able to simultaneously use spells of Wizard and Jobless. I better try it.
“Laundry is done.” “Alright then, let’s go to Haruba’s 21st floor right away.” “Okay.”
When Roxanne was done with laundry, we move to Haruba’s 21st floor. We further the exploration and encounter a group of three Rtoll Trolls and a Rub Shrub. This is convenient.
I cast first Firestorm. Followed immediately by another one. Sparks fly about. And engulf the monsters.
Oops I have no way of knowing if the second one succeeded or not. After the flames die out, I cast third Firestorm. If the last one didn’t succeed, this one would be second.
The sparks flutter and engulf the monsters. When the sparks start to fade, I cast fourth Firestorm. The sparks flare up and engulf the monsters again. Success! I have succeeded in casting spells simultaneously.
It’s good to have succeeded and all but this time, I don’t know when to cast the next spell. Before the flames of the fourth spell die out, the next spell in the third’s place should become available. Whatever, I’ll just keep on casting Firestorm. My body will know when the next spell will be available for use.
I cast fifth Firestorm. The sparks flare up again, indicating that it succeeded. As for the sixth spell, I can’t cast it simultaneously. I’m glad that they didn’t move.
After a while, I cast again. Before I could cast the seventh, however; the monsters, ablaze, try to attack. Because they’re ablaze, is that why their speed is relatively slower? It can’t vary to this extent, can it?
Roxanne dodges the Rtoll Troll’s attack. After the seventh spell, it’s time to cast the eighth. Miria thrusts her Estoc of Petrifaction into the Rub Shrub. I cast ninth Firestorm.
The monsters keep burning. Before I could cast the tenth spell, however, the monsters collapse. Critical must have proc’d in that while. Roxanne looks at me with a surprised look about her face.
“This was a sort of an experiment. Okay?” “Okay. The duration of the battle was considerably shorter.”
It should roughly be half. The time required to attack the monsters again after attacking them once has decreased significantly. Let’s suppose that I could take the Rtoll Trolls out in ten fire spells. This time, it wasn’t until seventh spell that the vanguards had to confront the monsters. Earlier, it would be four spells before the vanguards would be called into action but this time, it was about twice of that, six spells. Because two spells then are essentially four now, the time the vanguards are supposed to confront the monsters will be considerably shorter.
“The sparks were flashier than before. Magic- no, did you change the way you use magic?”
Sherry shares her impression. That’s it, more or less. As you would expect. Because the sparks kept dancing constantly during the battle, they looked flashier, surely.
“Were they? Well, to put it simply, I can use multiple fire spells simultaneously. I’m doing this experiment in relation to that. The test will continue for a short while. From now, this will be my main style of fighting.” “You can do even such a thing? As expected of Master.” “But umm, such a thing is impossible, isn’t it?”
Sherry is at a loss. It’s impossible, huh? Well, it obviously is.
“Amazing, desu.” “You can do even such a thing?”
Miria and Vesta are totally under Roxanne’s spell.
Normally, you can’t use two Wizard jobs. The man of the world, Gozer, is a grand wizard. Even he can’t use both Wizard and Grand Wizard at the same time. I, however, can use Wizard, Grand Wizard and Jobless. Triple jobs, that is.
Three simultaneous magic attacks, I would call it Jet Stream Attack. I look forward to the future.

Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
068 – Jealousy
I went to the slave traders business in Vale and picked up Sherry’s maid cloths.
I am introduced to a new slave while I’m there.
An 18 year old woman from the wolf tribe. She’s quite cute.
Her hair is a little scruffy, and her skin complexion is a little bad, but there probably wouldn’t be any problems after a little polishing.
If this were a school, I’d compare her to the one or two students in each class that stood out.
When I was in Japan, it’s a level I’d take notice of.
However, things have changed.
Now that I have Roxanne and Sherry, I’m not interested.
You could say that I graduated and calmed down, or maybe that I’m used to a higher level of luxury?
Roxanne and Sherry will be waiting for me when I return home.
I don’t need to be greedy.
A party is six people.
I should choose them carefully.
I can choose more than five people, but it wouldn’t be worthwhile.
Five is the most effective amount.
“What do you think? She can’t speak Brahim yet, but I’ll be happy to sell her to you after she’s learnt it.”
“I’ll pass this time, though she isn’t bad.”
That discussion is finished, and I declined Alan, the slave trader’s offer.
I don’t have enough money anyway, so there’s no helping it.
I changed the topic quickly.
“Can I leave a will for Sherry?”
“Sure, what kind of will?”
“I’d like to free Sherry when I die.”
“The change in the will comes to 300 nars, is that fine?”
I’ll make a will for Sherry.
Since I only asked for one thing this time, the 30% discount doesn’t work.
I pay three silver coins.
“Then, please hold out your left arm.”
It seems that the intelligence card is used to leave a will.
The slave trader pulls out my intelligence card and does something to it.
I check it after he’s done.
Kaga Michio| 17 year old male| Freeman
Owner of Slaves: Roxanne, and Sherry (releasing on death).
The will seems to be displayed on the intelligence card.
Saying that I’m releasing someone, and then not releasing them would be difficult.
Well, there’s no problem if I don’t show slaves my intelligence card.
“I’ll give you this as well.”
After he finished with my intelligence card, the slave trader passed me something.
It’s folded with a wax seal on the center.
“It’s a letter of introduction to the slave trader in the Imperial Capital. Though they won’t have a Master Smith, it’s still good to stop by at least once.”
The Master Smith is already unnecessary.
There doesn’t seem to be any slaves that stand out here anymore.
After I’ve built up my money, I’ll go.
I returned home with the case of maid cloths.
I passed the case to Sherry.
“Some cloths for Sherry. Put them away in the wardrobe.”
“May I put them on?”
“That’s fine, it might be good.”
I nod. Sherry looks at me once, then goes to the corner of the room.
She starts taking her cloths off.
You’re changing your cloths here?
Well, there’s no need to be modest changing cloths.
Since I always see, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
Well, there’s not that many times that I can watch it so clearly.
Her slight bashfulness is nice.
“Um, can I wear mine too?”
While I was enjoying the sight, Roxanne interrupted me.
When I approve it, she leaves the room.
“While you were out we received a message from Luke. He’s made a successful bid on a green caterpillar monster card.”
Sherry speaks while she changes her cloths.
“Ah, the green caterpillar monster card.”
“Yes, with the substitute skill.”
It’s finally come?
I said it was fine if it was a little high, so it’s natural to get it soon.
“That’s all we need for the Misanga?”
“Yes, and it seems that a green caterpillar monster card cannot be fused with a weapon, or with a kobold monster card.”
“So there’s only the substitute skill?”
“Yes. The winning bid was 4,300 nars. The previous time it went for 3,900 nars, so the difference isn’t much.”
Sherry explains as she puts on the maid cloths.
She opens the buttons from the bottom.
The buttons on the maid cloths go up the back.
“That’s good. I’d complain if it was too high.”
I move around behind Sherry to help out.
“Thank you. They are quite smart, they’ve likely charged the very limit of the amount you’d pay before complaining.”
They’ve made a guess at how much they can get from me.
Roxanne comes back with her maid cloths.
She opens the buttons on her maid cloths.
Why is Roxanne changing here?
There are no bra’s in this world.
In other words, everything is exposed the moment Roxanne starts to remove cloths.
They jiggle and bounce with the movement of undressing.
Soft, elastic, white fruit jiggles beautifully.
They swing like they are blowing in the wing.
Soon Roxanne puts the big things away.
“…Roxanne’s are big.”
“Ah, Roxanne, I’ll do up your buttons as well.”
“Thank you, Master.”
I moved to Roxanne’s back.
How should I comment on Sherry?
“Sherry, that suits you well. Your small stature is cute in it.”
Sherry’s beauty is like a doll in maid cloths.
The charm of Roxanne’s maid cloths is a more sensual womanly impression.
I love both of them.
The maid cloths are good things.
They emphasize their feminine charms.
After I do up the buttons, Roxanne turns around.
“What about my cloths?”
“Of course, you look really good.”
“Thank you. Oh, and…”
She looks away a little awkwardly.
“Can you carry me like this?”
I don’t need to respond.
I lift Roxanne with both arms.
She’s rather light, and has a soft warm feeling.
Where should I carry her?
“Wait a moment Sherry, and I’ll carry you as well.”
I carry Roxanne to the bedroom.
TN: Scene change, goooooo!
Last night I enjoyed the full service of two maids.
A maid serving me from the right, and a maid serving me from the left.
I fully enjoyed the service of the two maids showering me in affection.
Probably since it’s my routine, I wake up in the morning at the same time as always.
My sleeping time probably wasn’t enough.
I’m worried about going to the Labyrinth with lack of sleep.
I consider it, but it wouldn’t be good to enter with a tired body that’s slower than usual.
My health is alright.
My sleep was insufficient though.
I check on Roxanne and Sherry, but both of them seemed to be alright.
I could give a reason for not going, but I decide to go after all.
I’ll just have to pay careful attention while hunting demons.
NT Ant is easily defeated with three spells. It seems things are alright?
We moved through Vale Labyrinth’s ninth floor, and found a small room.
“Master, a treasure chest.”
When we enter the small room, there’s a small mound in the center.
A treasure chest.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen one.
The young mustn’t be impatient.
Roxanne had pierced it with her scimitar, and pulls back panicking.
Don’t rush in immediately.
Your allowed to do things immediately in bed though.
Does Roxanne have lack of sleep too?
There’s a chance it’s a mimic.
I should prepare carefully.
I put the wand away, and pull out Durandal.
After I take a stance, I give Roxanne a nod.
“There isn’t much chance of having a mimic boss on the lower floors.”
“Yes. It doesn’t seem to appear on the 11th or lower floors. It’s possibly because there aren’t many treasure chests on the lower floors. It’s the 12th or higher floors that sometimes have a chance of a mimic boss.”
Does the floor boss come out from a mimic?
Roxanne thrusts the scimitar while Sherry explains it.
The floor is cut open.
A silver coin comes out.
“Master, a silver coin.”
In total, there were 13 silver coins. 1,300 nars.
It’s a nice small sum of money.
Won’t more come out?
Well, that’s expected for a lower floor.
Treasure chests contain equipment, or things from the item box of people who died in the labyrinth.
13 coins, is the previous owner a Lv13 Explorer?
I give a small prayer to the previous owner, and then receive the coins from Roxanne.
“I’ll use my sword to fight for a while.”
I’ve used a fair bit of MP, so I’ll use Durandal to recover since I already have it out.
We leave the small room, and Roxanne leads our exploration.
Roxanne guides us.
She guides us to a place with four NT Ants.
First I swing Durandal at the left NT Ant.
I parry an attack from the ant and then swing my sword again.
The NT Ant on the left is defeated. Sherry is fighting the next one.
I sneak around behind it and attack it.
Under the center NT Ant, an orange magic formation appears.
NT Ant has a skill that shoots poison.
It seems quite dangerous.
Turning, I extend my body and arm towards the central NT Ant and swing Durandal.
It’s a really bad posture, but it’s unavoidable.
Durandal cancels the demons skill with [incantation interruption].
There is no poison.
I’m relieved, but I feel pain.
There’s a blow to my right thigh.
The NT Ant that I left behind attacked me.
I feel the impact to my thigh through my whole body.
It’s quite a shock.
Even with [Plating] it’s this strong?
It doesn’t look bad, but it feels horrible.
My heart strains from the shock.
It’s more shock than pain.
It’s like someone grabbed my heart.
Sherry and Roxanne seem to be saying something, but I can’t hear it well.
This is dangerous.
I don’t think it was that big an attack, but was it?
I swing Durandal to my left and absorb some HP.
However, I don’t feel like I recovered at all.
I start to break out in a sweat.
It feels like the shock is getting bigger.
I clutch my chest.
I collapse down onto my knees.
It’s hard to endure the pain.
Even my head feels like it’s been hit by a major earthquake.
My trembling doesn’t stop.
I can’t think. I’m starting to feel delirious and have a temperature.
Sherry comes forward and says something.
I can’t understand what she’s saying anymore.
All my nerves are under fire from the shock.
I can’t think about anyone else.
Sherry’s face approaches me. Why?
Her lips are pressed against mine.
Sherry’s tongue moves & enters my mouth.
What are you doing during combat?
I accept her, even though I don’t understand the reason.
I open my mouth and let her in.
A soft, gentle tongue.
Something rolls from the tongue.
Something replaced her tongue.
The thing which rolled in is obstructing my mouth.
I swallowed it to remove the obstruction.
After that, I stuck to Sherry’s mouth.
I twirled around Sherry’s tongue, that entered my mouth again.
Twirling, clinging, and sucking.
Sherry’s tongue tastes like I’ve forgotten everything.
Entwining my tongue with Sherry’s, it feels like I’m forgetting the impact.
Actually, the shock seems to be going.
Sherry’s kiss is acting like a tranquilizer.
The shock is really decreasing.
The burden on my whole body is leaving.
The pain leaves, the dullness leaves, and the cloud over my mind clears up.
It feels like my heart has been released by whatever was grabbing it.
The burning is gone.
The trembling has stopped.
My thoughts are back.
“Are you alright?”
Sherry asks, as she separates her mouth from mine.
“I fed you the antidote pill. It seems you were poisoned by the NT Ant.”
So it was poison.
It came from the attack by the NT Ant.
The shock was due to the poison.
It was a tremendous shock.
It was a terrifying shock.
I’d surely die if I was left like that.
This is bad. This isn’t the time to think about it.
My mind is clear.
We are still in combat.
Two NT Ant’s are left.
Looking at my surroundings, Roxanne is fighting the other two.
She’s dodging them perfectly.
I attack the nearest demon with Durandal.
I cut it from the side, since it’s facing Roxanne.
With each blow, the remaining burden on my body lifts.
The damage done by the poison is being recovered by [HP absorption].
They aren’t a problem if I beat them with Durandal.
The remaining NT Ant’s are beaten straight away.
“Master, are you alright?”
“I’m alright, sorry about that. I’ve caused you to worry, Roxanne. Lets go back to the small room we were in a little while ago.”
I don’t think there is a problem, but I should confirm my physical condition.
We pick up the [Sting]’s, and return to the small room with the treasure chest.
“I was saved. It’s thanks to both of you. Roxanne kept the demons busy, while Sherry gave me treatment. Thank you, thank you both very much.”
I wasn’t able to deal with the poison at all, probably because it was my first time.
I didn’t even realize it was poison, and didn’t think of taking the antidote.
The poison would definitely have been dangerous if I was alone.
The labyrinth is a terrifying place.
“Thank you. We did what was natural.”
Roxanne puffs up her chest with pride, while Sherry turns away embarrassed.
She had to transfer it mouth to mouth.
This is a different embarrassment to kissing.
“But, I wanted to do it as well, and Sherry’s done it twice now.”
Roxanne mutters in a quiet voice.
Ah. Previously when Sherry was out of MP, I fed her medicine mouth to mouth.
This is the second time.
“Do you want some water? Get out your cups.”
I take a small tub from the rucksack.
I get some water with a [Water wall].
“I’m still a bit sore, can you give me some water with mouth to mouth?”
I asked Roxanne, and she raised a cup up in front of her chest.
Demons
Description [ ]
Normally they appear in labyrinths, but if the activity in the labyrinths is low or nonexistent, the demons usually appear in the rounded ones to the labyrinth. At the beginning only low-level demons leave the labyrinth, but with time stronger demons, to the point that can make the entrance of labyrinth inaccessible.
Every 11 floors, labyrinth replaces the lower level demons with stronger demons. So in each set of 11, the demons are the same in any labyrinth, the difference that in each labyrinth the order of monsters is different.
Demon groups [ ]
With each successive level, the types of the demons that appears will always be the new type of demon for the floor and the unique type of demon from the previous floor.
With the increase of floors, the demons begin to move in groups. On the first floor, only one demon appears, but on the second floor, two will appear. The trend is:
| Demon count | Floor first appeared |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 8 |
| 5 | 16 |
| 6 | 32 |
However, the number of each individual type of demon is random (e.g. on the 17th floor it is equally likely to encounter a 3:2 split, 5:0 split or a 4:1 split).
Divisions of Floor [ ]
Demons appearing on the first 11 floors, the order varies in each labyrinth.

Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
001 – Prologue
Some of you guys were having trouble with the external links to chapters 1-5 and requested for the chapters to be moved to this site, so here they are.
Special thanks to Anon, Little and saima123x for their work.
Jammerg55 here; This is the rewrite I originally posted on my own blog. I got permission to replace the rewrites with my own, I read that most people are having an issues reading with these 5 chapters – they’ll be better reading on the eyes.
Translated by: Anon
Rewritten by: Littel
Of course, people that know, know. It’s a site where methods of suicide are recorded and where you can find company to commit suicide together with.
I was one of those lost such a website.
Not because I wanted to kill myself.
Rather I was tempted by death itself.
I simply despaired of this world.
I received simple bullying.
It wasn’t something so straightforward. It was the malicious type of ignoring.
In class, at lunch, even on my way home, I was alone.
Because they had already used violence against me directly in elementary school this was any better?
I’m learning kendo and aikido now. I didn’t like being bullied so I started during elementary school. I became considerably strong, therefore the guys that used to beat me up left me alone.
They were a miserable bunch.
Even if they were compensating with violence, because they can’t win they simply ignore me.
Well, I despised them too, so there was no way we could get along.
Their attitude is similar to how my father is at home.
He used to get violent with me after my mother died, but now he’s frightened that I might retaliate and doesn’t talk to me anymore.
After all, that’s how this world works.
It doesn’t matter how much you change your attitude or reputation, in the end power is absolute.
If they’re no match for you, they won’t face you directly.
Having said that, even if you have power, you can’t take the top of this world.
I think this world is rotten to the core.
If I think about it, I don’t have any attachment to this world.
I don’t have any family to rely on, a lover, or even friends.
Apart from that, I have no other regrets.
My grades aren’t particularly good.
Because of the abuse that I received from my father, entering university is impossible.
By the way, the priest of a Buddhist temple is teaching children aikido and kendo. But I knew.
The priest just wanted to grope the girls of his liking.
It’s those kind of things that show how rotten this world is.
If I were to have one regret, it would be “that”.
Honestly, I wanted to graduate from my virginity.
It’s sad to die without ever having had this experience.
It’s just the kind of thing a high school boy thinks about.
Also, committing suicide is actually pretty scary after all.
I hate pain and scary things.
If a person is determined to die, they can do anything.
I was considerably devoted to kendo and aikido.
I’m considerably powerful, if I do say so myself.
I think I’d be lying if I had said that I the felt that the situation would improve in some way.
While looking around the site trying to determine wither I had the determination to kill myself or not, “Before you decide to commit suicide” flashed before my eyes.
Yeah. This, that’s right.
For a healthy boy, a still-sophomore-in-high-school, suicide wasn’t recommended.
I wanted something like this.
I’m still too afraid to die.
For now, I clicked on the advertisement.
I who had moved to the page, murmured.
The contents read:
If this world is too difficult to live, then live in another.
An appropriate world for you to choose from, thus, there are several selections that can be made.
A world where science and technology are developed, a world dominated by pirates, a medieval world, a world of swords and magic…
You’re saying there’s a world with magic?
I picked that and advanced to a human only world, a human, elf, and dwarf world, a human and demi-human world along with a myriad of other choices.
This is probably the start of a net game.
Well it was an advertisement link after all.
I don’t understand why the advertisement targets candidates for suicide, but I didn’t think about that and moved on.
It might be fine as just a net game.
At the very least, it’s much more healthy that thinking about suicide.
Unexpectedly, because so many think that, that they may just click on the advertisement.
I only played net games a few times since I started high school.
Since I didn’t have any friends I only played solo.
So that’s why. I didn’t fit in, so I quit trying to play those games.
Even still, it was pretty fun.
I didn’t especially dislike it at all.
Moving to the next page, they made me choose from several cultures and countries.
It would be more fun if various things happened?
If I got tired there were always other countries to go to.
The next page was, frequency of war.
A world where countries fought aggressively or a friendly world.
In net games, when you joined a guild there were guild wars.
But that has nothing to do with a solo player like me.
I chose from the 4 worlds, the one that was most inclined toward friendliness.
After that, a dungeon type or field type?
It’s pretty hard to choose between the two.
It was puzzling that you only got to choose a male in uniform and didn’t get to customize your outfit, lastly, there was something that you would be recommended, I think.
But, there certainly were a lot of choices.
They even made you choose the language used.
There isn’t even any Japanese option
I just left it as default because I didn’t understand what it meant.
After becoming bored with so many choices, and then there was a page with bonus points.
It looks more like a game.
I clicked sever times, the numerical values changed.
I’m pretty particular when it comes to this kind of stuff.
I keep at it until I’m satisfied with my numbers.
Aikido is something I love, having a style that was something I was absorbed into.
Repeating the same style over many time. That, in a way, was fun.
The bonus points were basically considerably low it seems.
Many were between 10-20, as well as a lot of single digit ones too.
What was the highest number?
Was that high? Maybe it can go higher, it was a questionable number.
I repeated it again.
There were some times 40’s and an occasional 50.
I aimed to get an even higher number.
The numerical number turned green.
Is that a passing number?
But the very bottom column had only a 1.
If 75 was a passing number, I want to aim a little higher and see if I can get over 79.
I chose to do it again.
However, 70 didn’t appear, only 60 appeared.
While thinking that, I clicked again.
Will I have to settle for 60?
While in the middle of thinking at that moment I clicked as the number 8 passed in front of me.
That’s 80 just now?
It was 80 right?
It had stopped on the number 19.
I’ll just leave it to nature and do it again.
Sigh. It can’t be helped.
I’m going to turn back and click again.
Though I saw 60 several times, once you see 80, you can’t really stop on a 60.
How much time had passed?
After that, 70 didn’t come up.
I kept clicking reluctantly.
Although I’m tired of waiting for a high number, I continued.
To prevent what I did by mistake, I confirm the number I clicked. After confirming I do it again,
Redo. Confirm. Redo. Confirm. Redo.
Why am I doing this in the first place?
Isn’t a single bonus point good?
Although I thought that, I continued clicking.
If it was going to be like this, stubbornness.
Click again, confirm the numerical value, click again.
At length I continued to click.
Click. Click. Click.
Click. Click. Click.
That number shines like it was gold.
Finally, It’s finally here.
For this to come out, how long did it take?
This number finally came out.
There might be 3 digit numbers above this, but this might be the top number.
When I see that number, I’m flooded with satisfaction.
After fighting for such a long time, I finally reached it.
Like my memories frantically being squeezed out
Every day of hardship, endurance, and despair, were like a fond memory.
After that struggle.
I couldn’t care less about the game.
While feeling satisfied, I continued selecting settings.
After the bonus point setting page, came the character setting page.
There wasn’t any kind of explanation.
Is this supposed to be a browser game?
After getting such a high bonus point value, I felt awkward about stopping now.
I have no choice but to continue.
On the character setting page, there was physical strength, stamina increase, every kind of parameter to set, settings for bonus equipment, magic and skills, and had reached a point where I had to utilize the bonus points.
When I tried to experiment about raising the physical strength to 99, the bonus points became 0.
There was no change in the rest.
In this kind of game, when you raise your parameters you gain benefits, but there are many where you raise your level and your strength doesn’t change.
Should I put points in something else?
How about bonus equipment.
I’ll be able to obtain not less than the strongest equipment in the game?
But I think that only the start will be easy.
It seems that I can use magic.
Warp maybe, Gamma-ray burst.
However, what should I choose?
I was thinking that there was some kind of strategy site for this kind of game, but I didn’t know the name of it.
Despite that, I’m trying this game.
Because the 99 bonus-point appeared, I didn’t feel like doing it all over again.
If there was some kind of gimmick where you have to donate to get a 99, I’d rather just have waited.
What should I do?
Or that I was thinking, I found at the bottom at the last moment the button for character reset.
If you have bonus points you can redo them?
Because this was the character settings page, I think it’s normal that you can redo your character sheet again.
If that’s the case, I can stop worrying about it and think about the appropriate settings.
I clicked the character reset and checked.
It seems like I was able to reuse the bonus points.
Decrease required experience points.
Of course it was necessary
But, there is another skill next to that with increased experience points as well.
Are they different?
For now I chose both.
After checking the box, the bonus points dropped to 97 and the experience points required was cut in half.
The reinforced version of “decrease of required experience points” or should I say, the evolved form.
When I clicked the “decrease of required experience points” again, the bonus points drop to 95 and the rate drops from 1/2 to 1/3.
From 1/3 to 1/5 the points drop to 91. From 1/5 to 1/10 the points drop to 83.
The bonus points decreased all at once.
Apparently, the bonus point requirement doubles every time, 1, 2, 4, 8…
When I clicked on it again 1/10 dropped to 1/20 and the points dropped to 67.
I clicked necessary experience is removed and it became 1/10 again and 83 points. Clicked again and it because 1/5 and 91.
I suppose that I should go for 1/3.
Now I choose the increase experience.
When I clicked it, the bonus points became 90 and the experience doubled.
The same pattern?
I increased it from double to triple, the points became 88.
I increased it from triple to quintuple, the points became 84.
Should I leave it here?
I can use this. Without a doubt.
Usually, the job system in games allows the utilization of certain skills and magic
So, If you have a second job you can utilize skills and magic of the second.
The bonus points are mysterious.
If you don’t have bonus points and don’t set the skills what happens to the player?
When I click the second job, the bonus points become 83, and changed to 3rd job.
The same pattern again?
In the beginning there weren’t many jobs you could use.
If I needed a third job I would reset again.
There were settings for the skill of the job at the side.
Are they different?
If I don’t set the job, are they going to put one on for convenience?
I’m going to come again if I have to reset.
Increase MP Recovery and Abbreviated Chanting, were they skills I could use? I don’t know if I’m going to be able to use magic in the beginning, I’ll leave to the reset.
Discount negotiation. Purchase negotiation.
I can reset if I have to buy something later.
This has to be useful in this kind of strategy game.
What should I do?
I’ll leave it for after.
I’m going to ignore the bonus chanting for the time being.
There is Lv99 death, release all MP, is that safe and are there any good spells?
But I’m not going to utilize the release of all HP.
If I say I’m not going to utilize something, I won’t.
I return to the bonus equipment.
If a limited to the beginning only, it’s absolutely necessary for the bonus equipment.
I click on weapons.
The bonus points drop to 82, the weapons change to 2.
Is it the same pattern for the bonus equipment?
I kept clicking to weapons 6, the bonus points drop to 20, it became a blurred character.
Now I clicked the accessory bonus twice the bonus points become 17.
Then, I clicked necessary experience to 1/5 (9 bonus points).
Remaining bonus points is 1.
Appraisal? Chanting bonus? Or maybe bonus equip?
I clicked this at the end.
With that I used all my bonus points.
The selection is finalized and, the character setting is finished.
The screen changed.
You have elected to abandon this world and live in another.
It is not possible for you to return.
Do you wish to continue?
What is this? This isn’t the account billing section.
If it’s not the billing section then I don’t care.
It is really not possible to return.
Do you still wish to continue?
How persistent. I clicked yes.
I think that might have really been a dangerous message…maybe…its……
Without stopping to think calmly, like my consciousnesses was being sucked away, it disappeared far away.
Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
Chapter 135
mranon here. Here’s your fourth Slave Harem chapter for the week. (Yes, it’s still the same week. I’ll let you guys know when the week ends) Nothing else to say, really. Enjoy the read.
“Well then, let’s have Miria use the sword.”
Roxanne and Miria exchange their swords. I receive the Sacred Spear from Miria. Miria has leveled up twice and is now Warrior Lv5. Her being a Lv5 is still a cause of concern but it’s alright for there’s Plating.
After resetting the formation, we continue with the exploration. Miria is persevering in the front. It seems to be alright, doesn’t it? Well, the problem will be when she receives attacks.
Right after Miria’s words, a Fly Trap appears. Annex Petrifaction seems to have been successfully invoked. The Fly Trap has stopped moving. It appears to have turned lime.
As expected, it’s rare for petrifaction to be successful. Miria had launched over a dozen attacks before she succeeded for the first time. It’s so rare that you almost forget it, really.
We leave the petrified Fly Trap aside and attack the Hat Bats. I take on one of the two Hat Bats which Roxanne was playing with. When it drop down from four monsters to three, it becomes easier for the vanguards.
I take out both the Hat Bats with a Breezestorm. Roxanne and Miria surround the Rub Shrub which Vesta was keeping company. I switch to fire spells and cast Firestorm. Sparks engulf both the Rub Shrub and the Fly Trap.
The Fly Trap turns into smoke. The Fly Trap died before the Rub Shrub. It didn’t collapse; it turned into smoke while standing. Is this the way the petrified monsters die?
It would be dangerous if they were to fall in petrified form. If I were to die after getting hit by a falling monster which had been petrified, it would be unsightly. I didn’t think about it earlier when the Hat Bat fell after it had been petrified. I better instruct them not to petrify the aerial monsters.
I finish the remaining Rub Shrub off with a Fireball. Because both the Fly Trap and the Rub Shrub are weak against fire magic, they would normally have died at the same time. The Fly Trap died earlier than the Rub Shrub because it was petrified, most likely. The petrified monsters do seem to become vulnerable to magic attacks.
“Good. Miria seems to be able to inflict petrifaction, too. Great.” “Yes, desu.”
After I praise her, we carry on the exploration. It wasn’t until she was Warrior Lv8 that Miria came under attack. The Hat Bat eludes her shield and crashes into Miria.
“Are you okay?” “Okay, desu.”
Such an answer returns to me while I was healing her. Is she really okay? While casting Heal, I take two Rub Shrubs out with a Firestorm.
Now that the remaining monster is one, Miria swaps places with Roxanne to confront the Hat Bat and raises her hand. This much healing seems to be enough. I attack the bat with a Breezeball. Miria drifts to the side and slashes at it with her Estoc of Petrifaction.
I finish the Hat Bat off with another wind spell. Thus far, if nasty Hat Bats were to appear, Roxanne would alone engage them in the front. Now that she has a sword with Annex Petrifaction skill, Miria will have to confront them henceforth. Miria’s workload has now increased.
Because petrifaction hardly succeeds, I wonder if we should do it like we used to. Should we really have to do it differently? Although Hat Bat flies briskly and is therefore troublesome, Rub Shrub isn’t easy to beat either. If three Hat Bats were to appear, she would have to take on one anyway, she wouldn’t say that she can’t fight against a Hat Bat.
“It will get more difficult, so I’ll be relying on you.” “Yes, desu.”
After a few words of encouragement, we proceed. After she levels up to Warrior Lv10 without receiving any attack, I remove Alchemist. We can’t have Plating on forever and it’s not like we will be receiving attacks on purpose. Now that she’s a Lv10, it’s a good opportunity.
We safely reach the noon break without Miria receiving another attack. Thief, which I selected in place of Alchemist, has reached Lv30. I check my jobs out.
Ooh It’s there. Gambler, that is.
Like I thought, it requires Thief Lv30. The scribbling Sherry saw seems to be credible.
Gamber Lv1 Effects | Small Increase in Intelligence | Small Increase in Dexterity Skills | Abnormal Status Resistance Down | Critical Outbreak
Gambler gives two small increments as job effects. I disagree, however, with the fact that Gambler increases Dexterity. Even if a gambler is skillful, in the end, they are simply con.
As for the skills, there’s nothing related to scam. One of the skills increases the probability of inflicting abnormal status while the other increases the chance of critical strike. A job which requires you to roll the dice at every attack, huh? If you look at it that way, it does suit a gambler.
Abnormal Status Resistance Down seems to be an active skill. When you invoke the skill, it requires you to select the target whose abnormal status resistance you want decreased. It’s not a passive skill which reduces your abnormal status resistance. I’m glad.
I’m glad that it doesn’t reduce your abnormal status resistance but is rather an offensive skill. It does suit a gambler. ‘If you want meat, cut the bone first.’ It’s the same thing.
Ah, I wonder how it works. I can try to reduce my abnormal status resistance for a while. But there’s no need for me to do that.
As it appears, Gambler is a job which drops resistance of the monsters to abnormal status and furthermore, increases the rate of your critical strikes. It’s a constitution of skills which a gambler would surely like. Because they bet on all-or-nothing.
I try Gambler out when we move back to the labyrinth in the afternoon. To start off, I cast Abnormal Status Resistance Down on the monster which Miria is confronting. Gambler’s compatibility with Assassin is good.
The monster is still not petrified even after two attacks. Miria has yet to become an assassin.
Because the probability of inflicting petrifaction is low to begin with, is that why it can’t be helped? Or does it have to be my attack for Abnormal Status Resistance Down to work? Do I have to do it myself, after all? There’s a possibility that the extent to which it reduces the resistance depends on the job level.
Because I can feel that my MP is low, I can’t afford to attack wastefully. Should I make the next test last? When we further the exploration, we encounter a group of two Hat Bats and a Fly Trap. After I cast Breezestorm, Miria attacks the Fly Trap which I had already used Abnormal Status Resistance Down on.
The Fly Trap is still not petrified. While ruing how useless it is, I take out two Hat Bats in eight Breezestorms.
Huh? It was same as before. On 20th floor, it should take nine spells of the attribute which they are weak against.
I was of the idea that I might have counted wrong but I finish the Fly Trap off in five Fireballs. There’s no mistake.
“The number of spells it took to finish off the Fly Trap is no more than previous floor.”
I approach Sherry. She will have an answer, certainly.
“Not just that, it took less number of spells to kill the Hat Bats.” “Really?”
I seem to have counted the spells cast on the Hat Bats wrong. I thought that I counted properly; I guess not. So it was like that.
What might have been the reason? Was it the effect of Abnormal Status Resistance Down? That’s not possible. I cast it on the Fly Trap but it worked on the Hat Bats? That’s not funny. Even if it had been the case, it would have worked on one, not both.
Even if I counted it wrong in case of the Hat Bats, what about the Fly Trap? How did the number of spells it took to kill the Fly Trap decrease when it wasn’t even petrified? It’s hard to imagine that magic resistance has anything to do with abnormal status resistance. And I don’t have any such skill.
Does Abnormal Status Resistance Down inflicts random abnormal status? I wonder how. Resistance Down skill seems to be good.
Apart from that, it might have been due to Critical Outbreak. If one of the wind spells was critical, it might have dealt huge damage for it being a weakness of the Hat Bats but it shouldn’t have been so in case of the Fly Trap. It seems it was the case, though. I wonder if magic attacks can be critical, too. Nope, neither Dragon Knight nor Gambler have any spells. I wonder if the passive skill, Critical Outbreak, increases the probability of critical strikes for the user regardless of the type of attack. It seems to not be limited to physical attacks.
“This kind of things may happen from time to time. Don’t drop your guard until the monster collapses.”
There’s no surety yet that a magic attack can be critical. I tell everyone, not just Sherry. If I keep talking to Sherry, I’m afraid that others may feel left out.
“To be able to do even such a thing, as expected of Master.” “I can’t control it well.”
Once or probably twice. It’ll probably be alright.
“Not at all. As you would expect.” “Amazing, desu.” “Is that so?”
Miria and Vesta have already been swindled by Roxanne. Even if a magic attack were critical, it wouldn’t be noticeable for there doesn’t tend to be any identification, really. This skill is everything but convenient.
I stop using Abnormal Status Resistance Down and observe. There’s no sign for a critical attack to have taken place.
Petrifaction did take place, however. The moment I stopped using Abnormal Status Resistance Down, petrifaction was inflicted. Is it really just low probability?
Vesta, too, seemed to hit a number of critical strikes. I wonder if the rate of my critical strikes is less than Vesta’s. Nah, the damage must not equate to one magic attack unless there are at least two critical attacks, I think. For the number of spells to decrease noticeably, its effect has to be considerable.
Having encountered who knows how many groups, I burn the Rub Shrubs to smoke in eight Firestorms. This time, it was a group of two Rub Shrubs.
“This time around, it took less number of spells than usual.”
Sherry was counting diligently, it seems. Even though she was not counting earlier. It’s her skeptical nature.
“Is that so? As expected of Master.”
‘Learn from Roxanne’ — is what I want to say to her.
“Un, the effect is not that big. Let’s do an experiment.” “Experiment?” “I don’t use it always; it will highlight the effect.”
I tell Sherry who seems to have become alert at the mention of ‘experiment’. It’s difficult to explain the contents of this experiment to her.
It has happened two times already. If it happens once more, it will be valid to say that magic attacks can be critical. ‘What happens twice will happen thrice.’ And there’s a method to verify it.
At once, I pull Durandal out and restore my MP… By the way, Miria has successfully inflicted petrifaction.
When I take a glance, I find a Fly Trap hardened.
“Umm, isn’t it good?” “Of course it is. Because it decreases the difficulty, it’s welcome. As expected, Miria.” “Yes, desu.”
After I take out rest of the monsters, I answer Roxanne’s doubts and praise Miria. For petrifaction increases physical defense, it’ll be difficult for me if I use Durandal.
Therefore, I’ll have to finish it off with magic attacks after taking out the rest. Nope, there’s a way to finish it off with Durandal. I hammer a Rush into the petrified Fly Trap.
By the way, There was no Critical Outbreak ever since I pulled Durandal out. Because I had removed Gambler in favor of Warrior. I replaced the job because there were a few things I was feeling unsatisfied about. It’s merely a matter of luxury.
The Fly Trap turned into smoke after a number of Rush’s. There seems to be no change compared to when it’s not petrified.
“Amazing. As expected of Master.” “Physical attacks should not have worked on petrified monsters. It really was amazing.” “As expected, desu.” “It went down so easily. Amazing.”
Like I thought. Even if defense of the monsters, which have been inflicted with petrifaction, increases; the skill of Durandal, Ignore Defense, invalidates it. In other words, it’s all thanks to this sword.
I recover my MP and send Durandal back. I allocate the bonus points freed up from removing Durandal to Increase in Critical Rate. I increase Critical Rate to 30%. With this, I can immediately ascertain if magic attacks can be critical or not.
I wait for next monster while proceeding with the exploration. We encounter a group of one Hat Bat, one Rub Shrub and one Fly Trap. I start off with a Firestorm. The Rub Shrub and the Fly Trap turn into ashes in seven spells.
It’s the effect of Increase in Critical Rate, surely. It’s an amazing effect. I’m fired up like I have never been before. Critical… Outbreak certainly, solidly applies to magic attacks.
I was doubtful whether magic attacks can be critical or not. The Hat Bat collapses in three Breezeballs. My wind spells might have been critical, too.
With Increase in Critical Rate set at 30%, every one attack out of three turns out critical. If I cast ten spells, a few of them will be critical. As per rough estimate.
“What can I say now? Truly splendid. As expected of Master.” “It was absolutely amazing.” “As expected, desu.” “That really was incredible.”
Sherry praises, finally. But that’s expected for the result was amazing, indeed.
“Now that I have verified it, the experiment is over. I’ll undo it now. It’ll not be like this every time.”
Because I need to increase Gained Experience, I can not allocate points toward Increase in Critical Rate. It’s a pity.

Motive
Somehow, the Duke is aware of my having the hots for Cassia.
Thinking back, the Duke has been excessively flaunting his relationship with Cassia a lot lately.
He really has figured it out?
“Since she is of noble birth, she has undertaken the ordeal to become a Wizard. She will be quite useful. And, if you do get a Wizard, Michio-dono, the day when you defeat a labyrinth will draw even closer.”
While I was sweating deep in thoughts, the Duke enlists the benefits of having Rutina.
He probably thinks that I am having trouble deciding if I should accept Rutina or not.
That’s right. At the moment, the focus is Rutina.
Should I have Rutina as my slave?
I would like to have Rutina, of course.
I do want to get her.
And make her my possession.
Not merely for the battle strength of my party, though.
I don’t know as to how much the battle strength of my party will increase if I get a Wizard.
There is already me, after all.
On the contrary, since he believes the battle strength of my party will increase if a Wizard joins us, it means the Duke doesn’t know I can use magic.
It is fortunate that the Duke hasn’t seen my using magic.
“Wouldn’t it be better for the Duke to keep her?”
I don’t understand as to why the Duke is being so expedient. It needs to be investigated.
First of all, even if he needs to go so far as to turn Rutina into a slave, there is no need for him to let go of her.
Even if he does, there is no need for him to give her to such a complete stranger as me.
“After overthrowing the Earl, would I keep his daughter who fell into slavery?”
He returns my question with his.
Enslaving the daughter of someone he ousted himself.
His reputation will get tarnished, certainly.
I can see where the Duke is coming from.
“It would indeed be bad.”
“It wouldn’t be that bad. Just that I and the members of my household are not allowed to. It applies to Cassia, too.”
Even Cassia isn’t allowed?
Since Cassia isn’t denying it when I look at her, it probably is true.
“Still, it doesn’t mean that it has to be me.”
“Being a noble daughter, she has a fiancé, of course; however, we cannot leave her in his care. If he enslaved someone who, until yesterday, was his fiancée, what sort of rumors would spread?”
It looks terrible in more than one ways.
Which would be better? Enslaving the daughter of someone you ousted or enslaving your ex-fiancée?
Well, it could work if they shared pure love.
“If she has a fiancé, doesn’t he has something to say?”
“The household of the Earl of Selmar will find a suitable candidate from within their family to be his fiancée. For them, it would be better than the daughter of a disinherited predecessor. Also, they have probably never met.”
They haven’t met yet?
Pure love story is out of question.
Such is the engagement of nobles, huh?
He won’t have any objection either, I guess.
“Is there no one else?”
“Since she has a fiancé, I cannot simply hand her to others. If they were inferior, her fiancé would lose face. The nobles and her own family are out of question. Furthermore, since I cannot hand her to a noble, I cannot hand her to other influential or ordinary commoners within her territory either.”
From the viewpoint of Rutina’s fiancé, it would be disgraceful for him if she were to become a slave of an acquainted noble.
As for the Duke, he cannot own Rutina. Also, he understands how difficult it would be to hand her to someone else.
However, am I not a commoner, too?
“You are right. It may certainly not be a bad choice to entrust her to Michio-sama.”
Cassia interjects such words.
Is that even possible?
I have received Cassia’s approval.
“I guess. Ordinary commoners have their own share of disadvantages compared to nobles. However, there will be fewer problems for an Adventurer who doesn’t belong to an order of knights. The reason being, they can freely run away from the territory. If I am not wrong, Michio-dono is a freeman.”
“Yes.”
“A freeman has the direct appeal right granted by the Emperor. Although it is a nominal right, it is honored, nonetheless. Even if a noble tried to meddle with Michio-dono, over having her as a slave, you would be able to exercise the Emperor’s direct appeal right.”
“The Emperor’s direct appeal right?”
Does such a right exist?
However, it gives the vibes of Sakura Sogoro, so I’ll pass.
He was executed for directly appealing to the Shogun against the feudal domain’s tyranny.
Oh well. Since it is a right here, I won’t be executed for appealing, at least.
But how does the Duke know that I am a freeman?
Did he research to that extent?
I did show my Intelligence Card once to the Earl of Selmar’s subordinate knight. I wouldn’t be surprised if he checked it later.
Or, maybe Gozer concluded that when I had a duel in front of him?
“Even if such a case were brought up with the Emperor, they would rather decide in favor of the noble than an unknown freeman.”
I don’t know the Emperor nor does he know me.
The Duke, too, knows that very well.
Because it isn’t known to the public, is it a trap?
“In other words, it is possible for a noble to have something to say.”
“It is necessary as just a pretext warrant. Such a thing won’t happen for it is equivalent to picking a fight with the household of the Duke of Harz.”
“I see.”
That’s true.
Because it is the Duke’s decision, no one will object.
A power that could oppose the Duke of Harz would have no relation to this matter in the first place.
When the time comes, the Emperor’s direct appeal right will act as a deterrent.
Besides, if the matter is brought up, I will test as to how much of an acquaintance I am to that hentai Emperor.
This conversation has grown unnecessarily long.
“As for the condition of entrusting her to you, I would like Michio-dono to defeat a labyrinth. I would like you to become a noble as soon as possible. When someone newly becomes a noble, they cannot tell right from left. However, with a former noble’s daughter, you won’t have to face such a situation. If you like, you can force all the bothersome tasks on her.”
The Duke adds a strange condition.
The usual push for nobility, huh?
It is troublesome.
More than that, will it be fine to force her?
“To me, he is the enemy of my father. I cannot bring myself to join him.”
Rutina speaks.
Forcing her doesn’t seem possible.
No, maybe Rutina’s mind has already been pushed to the brink?
“Still, it is better, Rutina. You will be able to live freely.”
“Ane-sama.” (TN: Elder sister)
“It would be harsh there even for me. Still, it wouldn’t be as harsh as fatal hostility from elves.”
It doesn’t look like the Duke has an ulterior motive in rejecting her.
And, it looks like I will be in his faction if I become a noble.
“I don’t think it would be as such.”
“Is Michio-dono aware of the Lords’ Assembly?”
I have heard to some extent.
In an assembly, the more people you have in your faction, the better, right?
If every decision is based on majority vote, it will of course be better to have more people.
Whichever world you go to, you will always find some form of parliament.
“Politics is power, power is numbers, isn’t it?”
“Ho, you do know, huh?”
Politics is power, power in numbers, numbers is money; is what I wanted to add.
In this world, however, I don’t have to be bought with money like in Japan.
There is no need to use money for elections here.
“What if I don’t move according to your expectations?”
“If a person whom I personally recommended to the Empire Liberation Society defeated a labyrinth and became a noble, he would belong to my faction in the eyes of other nobles.”
Oh, really?
I try to threaten him a little but he threatens me back.
If you recommend someone to the Empire Liberation Society, you become their guardian, it seems.
If you find someone with potential and recommend them to the Empire Liberation Society, they receive support from the Empire Liberation Society and defeat a labyrinth; consequently, you gain yourself an affirmative vote of a backbencher.
That he recommend me to the Empire Liberation Society, did he foresee this?
He is unexpectedly a politician.
First of all, even if I became a noble, the freedom of my actions would be considerably restricted.
Whatever I did, it would be taken as if I moved per the Duke’s instruction.
If I did something idiotic, I would be considered a separate entity.
Second, it would be impossible for me and Rutina to revolt against the Duke.
If I did, I will be treated as a traitor by everyone.
If I tried to form an alliance in the assembly, they might not trust me due to betrayal.
Even if I went my own way, I would never be able to break away from the Duke no matter how many years passed.
Most of the nobles who belong to the Duke’s faction likely carry the same risk.
That may be the extent of tolerable limit as a duke.
To begin with, I will probably need a lot of help from the Duke at first.
And, at the same time, I will be taught as to how things work in the Duke’s faction.
I wonder if I will be able to manage it.
“In the first place, will I be able to defeat a labyrinth?”
“If a Wizard joins your party, it will not be a problem. Of course I am not telling you to do it right now.”
The Duke hasn’t seen my using magic, after all.
Also, since there is already someone in my party who can use magic, it wouldn’t get as strong as Duke thinks it will even if a Wizard joined.
We must be able to reach the 50th floor, at least.
It is quite difficult.
Frankly speaking, I don’t want to become a noble.
If I became a noble, it would only add to my troubles.
There is also the risk of their investigating my birthplace.
I don’t want more troubles.
But I want Rutina.
I want to obtain this beautiful elf that resembles Cassia.
This dignified and elegant lady. I want her.
Honestly, Rutina can be my three bowls of rice. (TN: Must be some proverb. I know this note didn’t help much)
Right now, this chance is hanging in front of me.
Should I sell my soul to the devil or not?
Actually, who says it is the devil?
Since I didn’t want to become a noble anyway, there would be no reason for me to mind being a backbencher if I were to become one.
Besides, I have no issue with being considered part of the Duke’s faction.
Also, I can push all the bothersome tasks to Rutina.
I have the approval of the faction’s leader, after all.
“I, too, would like to ask of you. Please accept Rutina.”
I have received Cassia’s approval, too.
I have to accept her, no?
Have I ever declined any request from Cassia thus far?
If there were a problem, my information might reach the Duke and Cassia through Rutina.
However, since Rutina seems to have hostile intentions toward the Duke, it should be fine.
And, even if it weren’t fine, I could remove her from the party and have her stay at home.
Her level is low anyway.
Rutina can partake only in household activities.
If it is inside the house, I can expect great performance of her.
I’d like to ask outstanding performance of her.
It won’t end unless I accept.
If my information leaked to Cassia and the Duke, there would always be the option to silence the Duke.
However, I couldn’t possibly kill Cassia.
I would have to silence her with something else.
“Ooh, as expected of Michio-dono. Just as I expected.”
I don’t want you to expect anything of me.
“I can have a peace of mind now.”
Or rather, isn’t it complicated for Cassia to be thanking me for taking Rutina in as a slave?
It isn’t envy.
However, is such a reaction appropriate?
“Let’s see. I would like Michio-dono to be her owner for at least two years.”
“Two years?”
“Two years; or rather, pay her tax for two years, at least.”
Ah, I see.
So, it was like that, huh?
Of course that was it.
How could I misunderstand.
I will have to protect her since she is under my custody.
In order to remove her legitimate succession name, she has to be turned into a slave and released immediately.
That is why it was easy for Cassia.
Why two years? Because the tax in the very first year of slavery differs.
That she is a slave now, her tax will have to be paid.
Is it required as a formality?
“Wouldn’t it be better to release her immediately.”
“It could be seen as rigged if that were the case.”
“Would there be a problem if it were seen as such?”
“This is a message to all the nobles who have been neglecting their duties, particularly here. I cannot deny that there is an air of tension amongst the elven nobility. It was precisely this air that led the Earl of Selmar to leave the advancement of labyrinth subjugation alone.”
Punishing a crime to set an example for others, huh?
“And, because of that, I cannot release her unless I pay a 10,000 Nars tax.”
“As for releasing her, it is up to Michio-dono whether you want to or not. As far as I am concerned, I will ask of you the favor of releasing her.”
“There is no obligation to release her?”
“Of course. I hope you be strict with her. If she proves troubling, I wouldn’t care if you sold her to another party.“
It doesn’t look like she has to be released immediately.
I have no idea whether Rutina likes me or not.
And, it doesn’t look like I can ask her.
The fait accompli strategy will be effective, I guess.

Honestly, Rutina can be my three bowls of rice. (TN: Must be some proverb. I know this note didn’t help much)
Right now, this chance is hanging in front of me.
Should I sell my soul to the devil or not?
Actually, who says it is the devil?
Since I didn’t want to become a noble anyway, there would be no reason for me to mind being a backbencher if I were to become one.
Besides, I have no issue with being considered part of the Duke’s faction.
Also, I can push all the bothersome tasks to Rutina.
I have the approval of the faction’s leader, after all.
“I, too, would like to ask of you. Please accept Rutina.”
I have received Cassia’s approval, too.
I have to accept her, no?
Have I ever declined any request from Cassia thus far?
If there were a problem, my information might reach the Duke and Cassia through Rutina.
However, since Rutina seems to have hostile intentions toward the Duke, it should be fine.
And, even if it weren’t fine, I could remove her from the party and have her stay at home.
Her level is low anyway.
Rutina can partake only in household activities.
If it is inside the house, I can expect great performance of her.
I’d like to ask outstanding performance of her.
It won’t end unless I accept.
If my information leaked to Cassia and the Duke, there would always be the option to silence the Duke.
However, I couldn’t possibly kill Cassia.
I would have to silence her with something else.
“Ooh, as expected of Michio-dono. Just as I expected.”
I don’t want you to expect anything of me.
“I can have a peace of mind now.”
Or rather, isn’t it complicated for Cassia to be thanking me for taking Rutina in as a slave?
It isn’t envy.
However, is such a reaction appropriate?
“Let’s see. I would like Michio-dono to be her owner for at least two years.”
“Two years?”
“Two years; or rather, pay her tax for two years, at least.”
Ah, I see.
So, it was like that, huh?
Of course that was it.
How could I misunderstand.
I will have to protect her since she is under my custody.
In order to remove her legitimate succession name, she has to be turned into a slave and released immediately.
That is why it was easy for Cassia.
Why two years? Because the tax in the very first year of slavery differs.
That she is a slave now, her tax will have to be paid.
Is it required as a formality?
“Wouldn’t it be better to release her immediately.”
“It could be seen as rigged if that were the case.”
“Would there be a problem if it were seen as such?”
“This is a message to all the nobles who have been neglecting their duties, particularly here. I cannot deny that there is an air of tension amongst the elven nobility. It was precisely this air that led the Earl of Selmar to leave the advancement of labyrinth subjugation alone.”
Punishing a crime to set an example for others, huh?
“And, because of that, I cannot release her unless I pay a 10,000 Nars tax.”
“As for releasing her, it is up to Michio-dono whether you want to or not. As far as I am concerned, I will ask of you the favor of releasing her.”
“There is no obligation to release her?”
“Of course. I hope you be strict with her. If she proves troubling, I wouldn’t care if you sold her to another party.“
It doesn’t look like she has to be released immediately.
I have no idea whether Rutina likes me or not.
And, it doesn’t look like I can ask her.
The fait accompli strategy will be effective, I guess.
Motive
Somehow, the Duke is aware of my having the hots for Cassia.
Thinking back, the Duke has been excessively flaunting his relationship with Cassia a lot lately.
He really has figured it out?
“Since she is of noble birth, she has undertaken the ordeal to become a Wizard. She will be quite useful. And, if you do get a Wizard, Michio-dono, the day when you defeat a labyrinth will draw even closer.”
While I was sweating deep in thoughts, the Duke enlists the benefits of having Rutina.
He probably thinks that I am having trouble deciding if I should accept Rutina or not.
That’s right. At the moment, the focus is Rutina.
Should I have Rutina as my slave?
I would like to have Rutina, of course.
I do want to get her.
And make her my possession.
Not merely for the battle strength of my party, though.
I don’t know as to how much the battle strength of my party will increase if I get a Wizard.
There is already me, after all.
On the contrary, since he believes the battle strength of my party will increase if a Wizard joins us, it means the Duke doesn’t know I can use magic.
It is fortunate that the Duke hasn’t seen my using magic.
“Wouldn’t it be better for the Duke to keep her?”
I don’t understand as to why the Duke is being so expedient. It needs to be investigated.
First of all, even if he needs to go so far as to turn Rutina into a slave, there is no need for him to let go of her.
Even if he does, there is no need for him to give her to such a complete stranger as me.
“After overthrowing the Earl, would I keep his daughter who fell into slavery?”
He returns my question with his.
Enslaving the daughter of someone he ousted himself.
His reputation will get tarnished, certainly.
I can see where the Duke is coming from.
“It would indeed be bad.”“It wouldn’t be that bad. Just that I and the members of my household are not allowed to. It applies to Cassia, too.”
Even Cassia isn’t allowed?Since Cassia isn’t denying it when I look at her, it probably is true.
“Still, it doesn’t mean that it has to be me.”“Being a noble daughter, she has a fiancé, of course; however, we cannot leave her in his care. If he enslaved someone who, until yesterday, was his fiancée, what sort of rumors would spread?”
It looks terrible in more than one ways.
Which would be better? Enslaving the daughter of someone you ousted or enslaving your ex-fiancée?
Well, it could work if they shared pure love.
“If she has a fiancé, doesn’t he has something to say?”“The household of the Earl of Selmar will find a suitable candidate from within their family to be his fiancée. For them, it would be better than the daughter of a disinherited predecessor. Also, they have probably never met.”
They haven’t met yet?
Pure love story is out of question.
Such is the engagement of nobles, huh?
He won’t have any objection either, I guess.
“Is there no one else?”“Since she has a fiancé, I cannot simply hand her to others. If they were inferior, her fiancé would lose face. The nobles and her own family are out of question. Furthermore, since I cannot hand her to a noble, I cannot hand her to other influential or ordinary commoners within her territory either.”
From the viewpoint of Rutina’s fiancé, it would be disgraceful for him if she were to become a slave of an acquainted noble.
As for the Duke, he cannot own Rutina. Also, he understands how difficult it would be to hand her to someone else.
However, am I not a commoner, too?
“You are right. It may certainly not be a bad choice to entrust her to Michio-sama.”
Cassia interjects such words.
Is that even possible?
I have received Cassia’s approval.
“I guess. Ordinary commoners have their own share of disadvantages compared to nobles. However, there will be fewer problems for an Adventurer who doesn’t belong to an order of knights. The reason being, they can freely run away from the territory. If I am not wrong, Michio-dono is a freeman.”
“A freeman has the direct appeal right granted by the Emperor. Although it is a nominal right, it is honored, nonetheless. Even if a noble tried to meddle with Michio-dono, over having her as a slave, you would be able to exercise the Emperor’s direct appeal right.”
“The Emperor’s direct appeal right?”
Does such a right exist?
However, it gives the vibes of Sakura Sogoro, so I’ll pass.
He was executed for directly appealing to the Shogun against the feudal domain’s tyranny.
Oh well. Since it is a right here, I won’t be executed for appealing, at least.
But how does the Duke know that I am a freeman?
Did he research to that extent?
I did show my Intelligence Card once to the Earl of Selmar’s subordinate knight. I wouldn’t be surprised if he checked it later.
Or, maybe Gozer concluded that when I had a duel in front of him?
“Even if such a case were brought up with the Emperor, they would rather decide in favor of the noble than an unknown freeman.”
I don’t know the Emperor nor does he know me.
The Duke, too, knows that very well.
Because it isn’t known to the public, is it a trap?
“In other words, it is possible for a noble to have something to say.”
“It is necessary as just a pretext warrant. Such a thing won’t happen for it is equivalent to picking a fight with the household of the Duke of Harz.”
Because it is the Duke’s decision, no one will object.
A power that could oppose the Duke of Harz would have no relation to this matter in the first place.
When the time comes, the Emperor’s direct appeal right will act as a deterrent.
Besides, if the matter is brought up, I will test as to how much of an acquaintance I am to that hentai Emperor.
This conversation has grown unnecessarily long.
“As for the condition of entrusting her to you, I would like Michio-dono to defeat a labyrinth. I would like you to become a noble as soon as possible. When someone newly becomes a noble, they cannot tell right from left. However, with a former noble’s daughter, you won’t have to face such a situation. If you like, you can force all the bothersome tasks on her.”
The Duke adds a strange condition.
The usual push for nobility, huh?
It is troublesome.
More than that, will it be fine to force her?
“To me, he is the enemy of my father. I cannot bring myself to join him.”
Forcing her doesn’t seem possible.
No, maybe Rutina’s mind has already been pushed to the brink?
“Still, it is better, Rutina. You will be able to live freely.”
“Ane-sama.” (TN: Elder sister)
“It would be harsh there even for me. Still, it wouldn’t be as harsh as fatal hostility from elves.”
It doesn’t look like the Duke has an ulterior motive in rejecting her.And, it looks like I will be in his faction if I become a noble.
“I don’t think it would be as such.”“Is Michio-dono aware of the Lords’ Assembly?”
I have heard to some extent.
In an assembly, the more people you have in your faction, the better, right?
If every decision is based on majority vote, it will of course be better to have more people.
Whichever world you go to, you will always find some form of parliament.
“Politics is power, power is numbers, isn’t it?”“Ho, you do know, huh?”
Politics is power, power in numbers, numbers is money; is what I wanted to add.
In this world, however, I don’t have to be bought with money like in Japan.
There is no need to use money for elections here.
“What if I don’t move according to your expectations?”“If a person whom I personally recommended to the Empire Liberation Society defeated a labyrinth and became a noble, he would belong to my faction in the eyes of other nobles.”
I try to threaten him a little but he threatens me back.
If you recommend someone to the Empire Liberation Society, you become their guardian, it seems.
If you find someone with potential and recommend them to the Empire Liberation Society, they receive support from the Empire Liberation Society and defeat a labyrinth; consequently, you gain yourself an affirmative vote of a backbencher.
That he recommend me to the Empire Liberation Society, did he foresee this?He is unexpectedly a politician.
First of all, even if I became a noble, the freedom of my actions would be considerably restricted.
Whatever I did, it would be taken as if I moved per the Duke’s instruction.
If I did something idiotic, I would be considered a separate entity.
Second, it would be impossible for me and Rutina to revolt against the Duke.
If I did, I will be treated as a traitor by everyone.
If I tried to form an alliance in the assembly, they might not trust me due to betrayal.
Even if I went my own way, I would never be able to break away from the Duke no matter how many years passed.
Most of the nobles who belong to the Duke’s faction likely carry the same risk.
That may be the extent of tolerable limit as a duke.
To begin with, I will probably need a lot of help from the Duke at first.
And, at the same time, I will be taught as to how things work in the Duke’s faction.
I wonder if I will be able to manage it.
“In the first place, will I be able to defeat a labyrinth?”“If a Wizard joins your party, it will not be a problem. Of course I am not telling you to do it right now.”
The Duke hasn’t seen my using magic, after all.
Also, since there is already someone in my party who can use magic, it wouldn’t get as strong as Duke thinks it will even if a Wizard joined.
We must be able to reach the 50th floor, at least.
It is quite difficult.
Frankly speaking, I don’t want to become a noble.
If I became a noble, it would only add to my troubles.
There is also the risk of their investigating my birthplace.
I don’t want more troubles.
But I want Rutina.
I want to obtain this beautiful elf that resembles Cassia.
This dignified and elegant lady. I want her.
Honestly, Rutina can be my three bowls of rice. (TN: Must be some proverb. I know this note didn’t help much)
Right now, this chance is hanging in front of me.

“Two years; or rather, pay her tax for two years, at least.”
So, it was like that, huh?
Of course that was it.
How could I misunderstand.
There is no excuse for me to do as I please with her.
Although I have her, it isn’t like she is my possession.
She is only temporarily under my custody.
I will have to protect her since she is under my custody.
In order to remove her legitimate succession name, she has to be turned into a slave and released immediately.
That is why it was easy for Cassia.
Why two years? Because the tax in the very first year of slavery differs.

“There is no obligation to release her?”
“Of course. I hope you be strict with her. If she proves troubling, I wouldn’t care if you sold her to another party.“
It doesn’t look like she has to be released immediately.
I have no idea whether Rutina likes me or not.
And, it doesn’t look like I can ask her.
The fait accompli strategy will be effective, I guess.

Spark
The Duke lifts Rutina’s hand and operates her Intelligence Card.
Rutina obeys acquiescently.
The hostage has been taken.
Cassia murmurs sadly.
It must be hard for her watching her cousin fall into slavery in front of her.
“Alright then, your social status has been changed to a slave. With this, your legitimate succession name should have come off. Later, accompany Michio-dono to a Slave Merchant he is acquainted with and have the name of your owner updated.”
“Anyone I am acquainted with would do?”
“It doesn’t concern me.”
I am not the owner yet, it seems.
Because the purpose was merely to remove the legitimate succession name, is there no need for subsequent verification?
Or, is he not able to do that?
Knights possess a skill called Intelligence Card Operation; however, they cannot write wills or release slaves.
For the Duke’s job, Holy Knight, is an advancement of Knight, he probably has the same restrictions.
Transferring ownership is perhaps limited to Slave Merchants.
“Well then, take care of me. I will refuse any order that benefits the Duke. Other than that, I will do my best.”
Rutina comes and greets me.
The greeting seems diligent.
For the time being, at least.
She shows me her Intelligence Card.
Rutina | ♀ | 15 years old | Villager | First Year Slave
Owner
Her legitimate succession name is no longer there.
And, she seems to have lost her family name, too.
Will I lose Kaga if I become a slave?
The owner field is empty.
“I will be relying on you.”
“If you have the capability, I will keep in mind that I am a slave.”
If I have the capability?
I wonder what she has in mind.
The moment Rutina finishes her greetings, Gozer barges in.
That energy, though. Has the Earl of Selmar been caught?
“You found him?”
“Yes.”
“Michio-dono, let’s call it a day here. Today’s operation was successful thanks to you, Michio-dono. I would like you to take her with you. Although she doesn’t have anything with her, she should be alright. I don’t mind if you take her home together with your party members. Cassia, too, go back to Bode.”
Cassia protests to the Duke, shaking her head slowly yet largely.
He doesn’t want her to witness the execution of the Earl.
Is it the same for Rutina?
“This is my duty.”
“I-I understand.”
Cassia seems to have accepted not to witness the execution.
It won’t be a good sight to see.
“Michio-dono, please visit the Bode Castle again tomorrow morning. By yourself, Michio-dono. It is already late tonight and I don’t know as to how much time it will take. Later in the morning would do.”
“I understand.”
“Alright then, Gozer.”
The Duke takes Gozer with him and leaves the room quickly.
He probably thinks Cassia or Rutina could cause trouble if he took his time.
“Well then, shall we return?”
I invite Cassia.
Cassia nods, her face full of grief.
A beautiful woman sunk in sorrow can look good.
As for Rutina, she keeps staring at the Duke’s back until he leaves; however, she doesn’t show any sign of sadness.
A beautiful woman drowned in anger can look good, too.
“My Lady.”
“I am alright. Let’s go back to Bode.”
A woman, who may either be a maid or a guard, addresses her again; upon which, Cassia replies firmly.
I chant Party Formation incantation and invite Rutina to my party.
She joins the party without expressing any resistance.
Following after Cassia’s party, I return to Bode with Rutina.
The moment I appear inside the Bode Castle, Roxanne rushes immediately to me.
Because I went to the battlefield, she was worried.
I didn’t do anything, though.
I am still not sure whether there was a battle or not.
“Nothing happened here, right?”
“Yes.”
“I see. For free Adventurers, it is common to have slaves, eh?”
Rutina derives an interpretation on her own and agrees with it by herself.
It may be understandable for her to know that Roxanne is a slave because she called me Master but how does she know that the three behind Roxanne are her partners?
“Master, she is?”
“I will explain once we return home. It is time to call it a day.”
Since Cassia is here, I will have to put the explanation off.
I calm Roxanne down who is staring suspiciously.
“Rutina, don’t get discouraged because of today. Live strongly.”
“Of course.”
“Do your best patiently. Eventually, you will be able to make a comeback.”
“Make a comeback? Do you really believe that?”
Rutina cross-questions Cassia.
It really is useless, after all, huh?
Rutina seems to be aware of that.
“It is fine. I plan on availing every chance I get. You don’t have to worry.”
“Michio-sama, please take care of Rutina.”
Cassia gives up and bows to me.
“Yes. Rutina, we need to move. Are you ready?”
“Plenty.”
“Alright then, Rutina. Farewell.”
“Likewise, Ane-sama. I hope you live a long life.”
Rutina behaves obstinately.
Well, she cannot show weakness to the people who killed her parent, the Earl, right away, can she?
She requires time.
Time should heal her.
We return home.
While chanting [Field Walk] incantation, I cast [Warp].
Although I end up showing [Warp] to Rutina, it cannot be helped.
Since the house walls have shield cement applied, I cannot go in without [Warp].
I can use [Field Walk] to go to Quratar Adventurer’s Guild but it will be troublesome to walk from there.
[Warp] and [Field Walk] look similar, so she will probably not notice.
Is my daily life going to be risky from now on?
It is already quite risky.
“Miria, can you please get a kandelaar?” (TN: A Dutch word. Candelabrum in English)
The living room is pitch dark, so I have to rely on Miria.
Since it is late, I won’t be able to explain anything.
Although I said late, it would be early evening in Japan.
The lifestyle of this world is quite healthy.
Although I cannot see, I can tell she has brought it since I can hear *gasogaso* rustling sound.
I am getting used to the dark, though.
Still, getting used to it isn’t enough to enjoy it without lighting it up.
“Pass it to Vesta. She can light it.”
“Yes, desu.”
“Wait, be careful.”
“I think it will be alright.”
I hear Vesta’s voice.
I sorta know Vesta’s location.
She gives off a feeling of intimidation for she is large.
I am not sure about the location of the other members, though.
Nevertheless, being party members, I know their general location.
Wouldn’t it be bad if Vesta blew fire in this situation?
Shouldn’t she blow in the direction of the wall where there is no one?
Will it really be alright?
I would have used [Fire Wall] had Rutina not been here.
It isn’t like the risk would be less if I used [Fire Wall].
If I did, I would be the only one safe since I can specify the location. That’s all.
Such a cruel way of thinking.
Before long, the corner of the room brightens up.
It is farther than I thought it would be.
A flame extends from top to bottom.
Putting the kandelaar down, Vesta blows the fire downward.
I see.
Like this, there is no risk of blowing the fire on others or the wall.
It is absolutely fine.
“Then, everyone, sit down.”
Now that it has become bright, everyone takes a seat around the table.
Where should I start from?
Rutina sits down as well.
Because five of the six seats are already allotted, only one seat is left.
The one next to my left.
“She is Rutina. A lot has happened and she has now been entrusted to me.”
“You should say it clearly that you have been bestowed a prisoner of war.”
Rutina unexpectedly interrupts.
Will it really be fine?
“Prisoner of war?”
“No matter how modestly you put it, I am just a war trophy.”
“War trophy!”
That’s a cruel way of putting it.
“I am Rutina who lost miserably in tonight’s battle. It has been decided that I will be Michio-sama’s war trophy. Everyone, you can consider me your junior. Please treat me well.”
Rutina greets everyone just like that.
I feel like my reputation has been damaged after she said she is a war trophy.
Even though she stated a fact.
“Is she a slave, too?”
“That’s right.”
“You don’t need to worry as I don’t plan on becoming the number one slave.”
Rutina brings up a strange topic.
What does she mean by not intending to compete with Roxanne?
Or, does she mean she isn’t satisfied merely with being the number one slave?
Roxanne looks at Rutina with a subtle expression.
In the first place, does Rutina know who the number one slave is?
Because Roxanne spoke first, does it make Roxanne the number one slave?
“Well, I don’t plan on making any changes.”
I will have to support Roxanne here.
It would cause a huge trouble if Roxanne and Rutina got on bad terms.
“In the future, I want to play an active role in the Lords’ Assembly. It is my dream. I thought I completely lost it because of that man; however, it still seems possible. I want to rather go for that than becoming the number one slave.”
How can you choose another route simply like that?
At least, she didn’t suggest that the number one slave is a crappy job.
By ‘that man’, she probably means the Duke.
“The Lords’ Assembly?”
“It is an assembly where the nobles gather to enact laws.”
Explains Sherry; upon Roxanne, muttering that.
“A lot happened and it was decided that I will become a noble by defeating a labyrinth and leave that work to Rutina.”
“……There is no doubt Master will be able to defeat a labyrinth one day.”
Roxanne’s face somehow has a dark expression about it.
Nah, it must be due to the dim lighting from the kandelaar.
Which reminds, I feel like I told Roxanne that I don’t plan on becoming a noble.
I didn’t change my opinion for Roxanne; however, wouldn’t it seem as if I changed it for Rutina?
Quite so.
I said I don’t intend to become a noble.
However, it was a lie.
“Do you have any problem with entering the labyrinth?”
Trying to close the topic, I ask Rutina.
“Earlier, my father told me I don’t have to, so I formed a party when I was young. Everyone except me went to the labyrinth; however, it didn’t help much. I believe I can change my job to Wizard if I gain more experience. Until then, I will have to trouble you. Once I am a Wizard, I can be of some help, I think.”
What do you mean it didn’t help much? Didn’t it help you a little?
It brought you to Villager Lv2. Probably.
The Hero job, for which you must defeat a thief on your first battle, is impossible for her.
“We will form a party first but I cannot let you enter the labyrinth until you become a Wizard.”
It would be unpleasant if my secrets came out after going to the labyrinth.
I will have to keep watch on her until I am confident that I can trust her.
I come up with an excuse to not take her to the labyrinth.
“You don’t have to worry. I won’t stab you or run away.”
Although it was merely an excuse, Rutina says something strange.
Roxanne is staring at Rutina with a complicated expression about her face.
Since she mentioned killing and running away, it must be on her mind.
I need to consider all that.
“If not me, do you plan on stabbing the Duke?”
“If I ever get a chance, even I don’t know what will become of that man.”
I should better not let her come close to the Duke. It will be dangerous.
I would be happy if the Duke’s meddling lessened.
However, since it is her dream to be active in the Lords’ Assembly, I seem to have been given the role of her supervisor.
“It will seriously be difficult for me to live if I escape.”
It will be tough because a slave would turn into a Thief if they ran away.
Especially, since she was an earl’s daughter until tonight.
I don’t have to worry about her running away.
“It is just that. In the first place, even if I stayed with the Earl of Selmar’s household without being an earl, I will be treated as a potential seed of fire. Besides, I am not so conceited as to believe that the revival is possible single-handedly. That said, I think the current situation is much better. I can upset the plot that man has written. I can only be grateful to Michio-sama.”
Roxanne’s expression softens up a little after Rutina expresses her gratitude to me, huh?
“Is she one of the Earl’s staff?”
“That’s right.”
“Really?”
I answer Sherry’s question without adding anything else.
Sherry also knows about the Duke’s plan to overthrow the Earl.
I believe it wouldn’t be appropriate if we delved deeper into the matter in front of a related party.
Considering the operation succeeded, she could really be considered a war trophy.
“Since she hates the Duke, it is unlikely for her to expose the secrets, isn’t it?”
“I wonder what you are talking about.”
“Err, it is just that I don’t want to expose the party strategy and skills to a third party.”
I have been asked directly.
There is no need to fear about the information leaking to the Duke when she hates him that much, right?
She wouldn’t say she will expose it even if she intended to expose it; however, it is somewhat reassuring.
“I won’t consider actions which may benefit that man. However, the information may be helpful in the future at the Lords’ Assembly.”
I don’t know whether I should feel relieved or not.
She may use the information as a bargaining chip.
Roxanne’s expression seems to be becoming fiercer.
“Still, I was a member of the execution team, too.”
“There is no point in holding a grudge against a commoner warrior who was made to participate.”
Is she treating me as a commoner warrior?
That’s true, though.
Rutina seems to be the type that says clearly what she has on her mind.
Roxane, too, is glaring clearly at Rutina with an intense look.
Isn’t that a spark flying between Roxanne and Rutina?
Spark
The Duke lifts Rutina’s hand and operates her Intelligence Card.
Rutina obeys acquiescently.
The hostage has been taken.
Cassia murmurs sadly.
It must be hard for her watching her cousin fall into slavery in front of her.
“Alright then, your social status has been changed to a slave. With this, your legitimate succession name should have come off. Later, accompany Michio-dono to a Slave Merchant he is acquainted with and have the name of your owner updated.”
“Anyone I am acquainted with would do?”
“It doesn’t concern me.”
I am not the owner yet, it seems.
Because the purpose was merely to remove the legitimate succession name, is there no need for subsequent verification?
Or, is he not able to do that?
Knights possess a skill called Intelligence Card Operation; however, they cannot write wills or release slaves.
For the Duke’s job, Holy Knight, is an advancement of Knight, he probably has the same restrictions.
Transferring ownership is perhaps limited to Slave Merchants.
“Well then, take care of me. I will refuse any order that benefits the Duke. Other than that, I will do my best.”
Rutina comes and greets me.
The greeting seems diligent.
For the time being, at least.
She shows me her Intelligence Card.
Rutina | ♀ | 15 years old | Villager | First Year Slave
Owner
Her legitimate succession name is no longer there.
And, she seems to have lost her family name, too.
Will I lose Kaga if I become a slave?
The owner field is empty.
“I will be relying on you.”
“If you have the capability, I will keep in mind that I am a slave.”
If I have the capability?
I wonder what she has in mind.
The moment Rutina finishes her greetings, Gozer barges in.
That energy, though. Has the Earl of Selmar been caught?
“You found him?”
“Yes.”
“Michio-dono, let’s call it a day here. Today’s operation was successful thanks to you, Michio-dono. I would like you to take her with you. Although she doesn’t have anything with her, she should be alright. I don’t mind if you take her home together with your party members. Cassia, too, go back to Bode.”
Cassia protests to the Duke, shaking her head slowly yet largely.
He doesn’t want her to witness the execution of the Earl.
Is it the same for Rutina?
“This is my duty.”
“I-I understand.”
Cassia seems to have accepted not to witness the execution.
It won’t be a good sight to see.
“Michio-dono, please visit the Bode Castle again tomorrow morning. By yourself, Michio-dono. It is already late tonight and I don’t know as to how much time it will take. Later in the morning would do.”
“I understand.”
“Alright then, Gozer.”
The Duke takes Gozer with him and leaves the room quickly.
He probably thinks Cassia or Rutina could cause trouble if he took his time.
“Well then, shall we return?”
I invite Cassia.
Cassia nods, her face full of grief.
A beautiful woman sunk in sorrow can look good.
As for Rutina, she keeps staring at the Duke’s back until he leaves; however, she doesn’t show any sign of sadness.
A beautiful woman drowned in anger can look good, too.
“My Lady.”
“I am alright. Let’s go back to Bode.”
A woman, who may either be a maid or a guard, addresses her again; upon which, Cassia replies firmly.
I chant Party Formation incantation and invite Rutina to my party.
She joins the party without expressing any resistance.
Following after Cassia’s party, I return to Bode with Rutina.
The moment I appear inside the Bode Castle, Roxanne rushes immediately to me.
Because I went to the battlefield, she was worried.
I didn’t do anything, though.
I am still not sure whether there was a battle or not.
“Nothing happened here, right?”
“Yes.”
“I see. For free Adventurers, it is common to have slaves, eh?”
Rutina derives an interpretation on her own and agrees with it by herself.
It may be understandable for her to know that Roxanne is a slave because she called me Master but how does she know that the three behind Roxanne are her partners?
“Master, she is?”
“I will explain once we return home. It is time to call it a day.”
Since Cassia is here, I will have to put the explanation off.
I calm Roxanne down who is staring suspiciously.
“Rutina, don’t get discouraged because of today. Live strongly.”
“Of course.”
“Do your best patiently. Eventually, you will be able to make a comeback.”
“Make a comeback? Do you really believe that?”
Rutina cross-questions Cassia.
It really is useless, after all, huh?
Rutina seems to be aware of that.
“It is fine. I plan on availing every chance I get. You don’t have to worry.”
“Michio-sama, please take care of Rutina.”
Cassia gives up and bows to me.
“Yes. Rutina, we need to move. Are you ready?”
“Plenty.”
“Alright then, Rutina. Farewell.”
“Likewise, Ane-sama. I hope you live a long life.”
Rutina behaves obstinately.
Well, she cannot show weakness to the people who killed her parent, the Earl, right away, can she?
She requires time.
Time should heal her.
We return home.
While chanting [Field Walk] incantation, I cast [Warp].
Although I end up showing [Warp] to Rutina, it cannot be helped.
Since the house walls have shield cement applied, I cannot go in without [Warp].
I can use [Field Walk] to go to Quratar Adventurer’s Guild but it will be troublesome to walk from there.
[Warp] and [Field Walk] look similar, so she will probably not notice.
Is my daily life going to be risky from now on?
It is already quite risky.
“Miria, can you please get a kandelaar?” (TN: A Dutch word. Candelabrum in English)
The living room is pitch dark, so I have to rely on Miria.
Since it is late, I won’t be able to explain anything.
Although I said late, it would be early evening in Japan.
The lifestyle of this world is quite healthy.
Although I cannot see, I can tell she has brought it since I can hear *gasogaso* rustling sound.
I am getting used to the dark, though.
Still, getting used to it isn’t enough to enjoy it without lighting it up.
“Pass it to Vesta. She can light it.”
“Yes, desu.”
“Wait, be careful.”
“I think it will be alright.”
I hear Vesta’s voice.
I sorta know Vesta’s location.
She gives off a feeling of intimidation for she is large.
I am not sure about the location of the other members, though.
Nevertheless, being party members, I know their general location.
Wouldn’t it be bad if Vesta blew fire in this situation?
Shouldn’t she blow in the direction of the wall where there is no one?
Will it really be alright?
I would have used [Fire Wall] had Rutina not been here.
It isn’t like the risk would be less if I used [Fire Wall].
If I did, I would be the only one safe since I can specify the location. That’s all.
Such a cruel way of thinking.
Before long, the corner of the room brightens up.
It is farther than I thought it would be.
A flame extends from top to bottom.
Putting the kandelaar down, Vesta blows the fire downward.
I see.
Like this, there is no risk of blowing the fire on others or the wall.
It is absolutely fine.
“Then, everyone, sit down.”
Now that it has become bright, everyone takes a seat around the table.
Where should I start from?
Rutina sits down as well.
Because five of the six seats are already allotted, only one seat is left.
The one next to my left.
“She is Rutina. A lot has happened and she has now been entrusted to me.”
“You should say it clearly that you have been bestowed a prisoner of war.”
Rutina unexpectedly interrupts.
Will it really be fine?
“Prisoner of war?”
“No matter how modestly you put it, I am just a war trophy.”
“War trophy!”
That’s a cruel way of putting it.
“I am Rutina who lost miserably in tonight’s battle. It has been decided that I will be Michio-sama’s war trophy. Everyone, you can consider me your junior. Please treat me well.”
Rutina greets everyone just like that.
I feel like my reputation has been damaged after she said she is a war trophy.
Even though she stated a fact.
“Is she a slave, too?”
“That’s right.”
“You don’t need to worry as I don’t plan on becoming the number one slave.”
Rutina brings up a strange topic.
What does she mean by not intending to compete with Roxanne?
Or, does she mean she isn’t satisfied merely with being the number one slave?
Roxanne looks at Rutina with a subtle expression.
In the first place, does Rutina know who the number one slave is?
Because Roxanne spoke first, does it make Roxanne the number one slave?
“Well, I don’t plan on making any changes.”
I will have to support Roxanne here.
It would cause a huge trouble if Roxanne and Rutina got on bad terms.
“In the future, I want to play an active role in the Lords’ Assembly. It is my dream. I thought I completely lost it because of that man; however, it still seems possible. I want to rather go for that than becoming the number one slave.”
How can you choose another route simply like that?
At least, she didn’t suggest that the number one slave is a crappy job.
By ‘that man’, she probably means the Duke.
“The Lords’ Assembly?”
“It is an assembly where the nobles gather to enact laws.”
Explains Sherry; upon Roxanne, muttering that.
“A lot happened and it was decided that I will become a noble by defeating a labyrinth and leave that work to Rutina.”
“……There is no doubt Master will be able to defeat a labyrinth one day.”
Roxanne’s face somehow has a dark expression about it.
Nah, it must be due to the dim lighting from the kandelaar.
Which reminds, I feel like I told Roxanne that I don’t plan on becoming a noble.
I didn’t change my opinion for Roxanne; however, wouldn’t it seem as if I changed it for Rutina?
Quite so.
I said I don’t intend to become a noble.
However, it was a lie.
“Do you have any problem with entering the labyrinth?”
Trying to close the topic, I ask Rutina.
“Earlier, my father told me I don’t have to, so I formed a party when I was young. Everyone except me went to the labyrinth; however, it didn’t help much. I believe I can change my job to Wizard if I gain more experience. Until then, I will have to trouble you. Once I am a Wizard, I can be of some help, I think.”
What do you mean it didn’t help much? Didn’t it help you a little?
It brought you to Villager Lv2. Probably.
The Hero job, for which you must defeat a thief on your first battle, is impossible for her.
“We will form a party first but I cannot let you enter the labyrinth until you become a Wizard.”
It would be unpleasant if my secrets came out after going to the labyrinth.
I will have to keep watch on her until I am confident that I can trust her.
I come up with an excuse to not take her to the labyrinth.
“You don’t have to worry. I won’t stab you or run away.”
Although it was merely an excuse, Rutina says something strange.
Roxanne is staring at Rutina with a complicated expression about her face.
Since she mentioned killing and running away, it must be on her mind.
I need to consider all that.
“If not me, do you plan on stabbing the Duke?”
“If I ever get a chance, even I don’t know what will become of that man.”
I should better not let her come close to the Duke. It will be dangerous.
I would be happy if the Duke’s meddling lessened.
However, since it is her dream to be active in the Lords’ Assembly, I seem to have been given the role of her supervisor.
“It will seriously be difficult for me to live if I escape.”
It will be tough because a slave would turn into a Thief if they ran away.
Especially, since she was an earl’s daughter until tonight.
I don’t have to worry about her running away.
“It is just that. In the first place, even if I stayed with the Earl of Selmar’s household without being an earl, I will be treated as a potential seed of fire. Besides, I am not so conceited as to believe that the revival is possible single-handedly. That said, I think the current situation is much better. I can upset the plot that man has written. I can only be grateful to Michio-sama.”
Roxanne’s expression softens up a little after Rutina expresses her gratitude to me, huh?
“Is she one of the Earl’s staff?”
“That’s right.”
“Really?”
I answer Sherry’s question without adding anything else.
Sherry also knows about the Duke’s plan to overthrow the Earl.
I believe it wouldn’t be appropriate if we delved deeper into the matter in front of a related party.
Considering the operation succeeded, she could really be considered a war trophy.
“Since she hates the Duke, it is unlikely for her to expose the secrets, isn’t it?”
“I wonder what you are talking about.”
“Err, it is just that I don’t want to expose the party strategy and skills to a third party.”
I have been asked directly.
There is no need to fear about the information leaking to the Duke when she hates him that much, right?
She wouldn’t say she will expose it even if she intended to expose it; however, it is somewhat reassuring.
“I won’t consider actions which may benefit that man. However, the information may be helpful in the future at the Lords’ Assembly.”
I don’t know whether I should feel relieved or not.
She may use the information as a bargaining chip.
Roxanne’s expression seems to be becoming fiercer.
“Still, I was a member of the execution team, too.”
“There is no point in holding a grudge against a commoner warrior who was made to participate.”
Is she treating me as a commoner warrior?
That’s true, though.
Rutina seems to be the type that says clearly what she has on her mind.
Roxane, too, is glaring clearly at Rutina with an intense look.
Isn’t that a spark flying between Roxanne and Rutina?
Spark
The Duke lifts Rutina’s hand and operates her Intelligence Card.
Rutina obeys acquiescently.

Sabo Baradam was a wolfkin from the Baradam Family. He was its head as well as its strongest member.
Contents
Appearance [ ]
Sabo Baradam was a middle-aged wolfkin, with white hair and a muscular build.
Personality [ ]
Sabo was an arrogant person who thought that all others were beneath him. He was an unforgiving person, even to his family members. When the Baradam Woman lost to Roxanne, he told her to at least use the Orb of Self Destruction to, in his words, «have an honorable draw». When she wouldn’t do it, he killed her without remorse or hesitation.
Background [ ]
Sabo was the strongest person from the Baradam Family. At some point, he fought Simon and lost. After his defeat he sought to become stronger at any cost. This led him to use Dope Medicine to get stronger.
With his new strength, he led his family into getting more strength for themselves by challenging others to duels and getting their equipment when they lost. His power allowed the family to do things like get loans and put off paying for them and other things to get more power and influence.
Chronology [ ]
Michio and his companions ran into Sabo and his party on the twelfth floor of Bode’s Labyrinth. After Roxanne and Baradam Woman have a short argument, they decide to settle it with a duel. They all go to the Order of Harz Duchy Knights headquarters to have the duel, with Gozer acting as the witness. Sabo watches as Roxanne easily defeats her opponent, making the latter use her Sacrificial Misanga. Sabo gives his kin an Orb of Self Destruction, under the misconception that Roxanne herself doesn’t have a Sacrificial Misanga to protect herself, so that they can both die. When she doesn’t go through with it, Michio tells Roxanne to spare her and the duel is called a draw. Sabo immediately decapitates Baradam Woman calling her a disgrace to their family. When questioned by Gozer, he claims that it was a problem of his household, and as its head, there was no problem in this treatment.
After having his Intelligence Card checked to verify his claim, Sabo demands a rematch against Roxanne. Michio decides to fight the duel himself, to prevent any chance of Roxanne losing her life. Michio warns Sabo that he will die if he doesn’t stop now. Sabo ignores him and brags that he won’t lose. As soon as the duel starts, Michio uses the skills Overwhelming and Lv99 Death on him; the latter twice as his opponent possesses a Sacrificial Misanga; this results in Sabo’s near instant death.
Abilities [ ]
Sabo was a powerful fighter, feared by many as a brutal and merciless person. His Job Skill was enhanced by his use of Dope Medicine, although this only enhanced his level without improving his abilities as a combatant. He was acknowledged as one of the most powerful fighters among the wolfkin.
Relationships [ ]
Family [ ]
As the head of the Baradam Family, Sabo demanded respect and obedience from all its members.
Baradam Woman [ ]
Sabo didn’t care about her and killed her when it he deemed her weak.

Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World
Chapter 130
Translated by airsblue Edited by mranon
Thereafter, we fought on the 18th floor. Is Vesta having trouble? She received many attacks, but she isn’t complaining.
“Alright. I know it is a little early but how about we call it a day? We have yet to go shopping.” “We are going shopping?”
Roxanne jumps at it. I was thinking of buying some stuff for Vesta. Will Roxanne be fine with it even if the stuff is not for her?
I must buy a maid outfit and apron for Vesta. Because of her large body, I’m not sure if a maid outfit will look good on her or not, but an apron will fit nicely. It is also necessary to buy her a nightgown.
“We will go to the clothing store in the Imperial Capital first.” “A negligee for Vesta is necessary.”
I can clearly see Roxanne’s desire to choose. It is better than complaining, though.
“For me?” “I am going to have various outfits made for Vesta.” “Thank you very much.”
Vesta bows her head.
“I know there was a lot of trouble today, it being the first day and all, but I look forward to your help from now on.” “Yes. I thought the monsters inside the labyrinth would be extremely tough, but they weren’t that strong. I think I will be okay.”
She is neither complaining nor whining. When her Dragon Knight’s level increases further, it will get even easier. It is terrific, really.
I warp us to the Imperial Capital. We head outside the adventurers’ guild. Vesta is not gawking around that much.
“Has Vesta visited the Imperial Capital before?” “No, I haven’t.” “Is that so?” “It is because I am merely accompanying you.”
I wonder if it’s just that. We proceed to go to the clothing store.
“We are here.” “Umm, but this is such an extravagant shop.” “It is alright.” “Is it really alright?”
I wonder if she will follow me inside. I enter the shop. Vesta, who was admiring the the entrance, follows me inside.
“Welcome. Great to see you back.”
The usual male attendant approaches accompanied by two female assistants.
“Is it possible to make another apron like the one I ordered the other day?” “Yes, of course.” “She will be the one to wear it this time.”
I place my hands on Vesta’s shoulders. It will be quite large, about up to my face.
I don’t think it will be problem, though, for it is Order-Made.
“Thank you very much. I will need to take the measurements, then.” “Here, please.”
When the male attendant winks, the female assistant steps in front of Vesta. She curtsies. And shows Vesta the direction using her hands.
I thought for a moment and concluded that it would be better for her to do it individually. It’s not like both of them need to try clothes on.
“Next is this one. Is there a size that will fit the girl from before?”
Roxanne and the rest move to satin camisole section.
“These are all ready-made, so these are all the sizes we have.” “This one? Looks like she can put it on, probably.” “I think the shoulder width is good enough.”
The female shop assistant answers. They didn’t have a small one for Sherry either. There can’t be that many sizes.
“Let me think.” “But the hem seems to be a little small.” “Hmm, what should we do?” “If you need a different size, then you will need to place a special order.”
Is the hem short? That is good in itself.
While Roxanne was in a dilemma, Vesta comes back. Roxanne tries the camisole on Vesta’s body. The hem of the camisole reaches Vesta’s knees. Isn’t that a good length?
“As expected, it is too short, isn’t it?” “It is indeed short.” “Too short, desu.” “I guess it is.” “For now, let’s buy it. It is better than going to the trouble of having one made.”
I cut in a hurry as they were voicing same opinion. No, No. This length is long enough.
“Is that so? But it will be useless to expend on something she can’t wear.” “It will be fine.”
There’s no such thing as ‘she can’t wear’, at least. In this world, there is no schoolgirl wearing miniskirt. Neither there is onee-san wearing miniskirt, nor onee-sama wearing miniskirt. Like hell I will let this chance slip away.
“Only white and black colors are available for this size, however.”
Isn’t that good? Black. Bewitching aura will match big Vesta perfectly. As if I will let me myself get manipulated by the shop assistant into placing an order.
“Is black good, Vesta?” “Is it alright?” “It is alright.”
Sherry wears white. Roxanne plays the central role, and picks black camisole. Roxanne brings the item I chose.
“Then, can I order this as well? Also, take care of these rabbit furs.”
From my Item Box I take out rabbit furs, and leave them at the counter.
“Ah, was the dear customer not a member of the order of Harz knights?”
The male attendant mutters. Did he think of me as a member of the order of knights. My identity was discovered at the unlikeliest of places.
Is it about the timing of the rabbit furs? Is it possible that a member of the order of knights is not supposed to sell at a store? Nope. I have sold rabbit furs before. Is there something else?
Because I don’t think it is a good idea to ask, I checkout and leave the store. It could cause trouble if backfired.
“That attendant seems to think Master is a member of the order of knights.”
Roxanne speaks proudly as we came out of the store.
“I wonder what it was about.” “It is natural for anyone who sees Master. That attendant could see Master’s greatness.”
I am afraid as to how easy it is for people to deceive Roxanne. ‘Click here to see the great Master’.
“Most of the people doing exploration are rude. Because you were showing proper manners, he assumed that you belong to the order of knights.”
It sounds rational if Sherry says so. What is considered manners by modern Japanese people, is considered proper manners here? It is probably so.
“Brahim language, desu.”
No wonder. It is perhaps because I can speak Brahim.
“Ah, that’s it.” “Yes, desu.”
It is something only Miria, who is struggling with Brahim, can think of. I pat her cat ears to praise her.
Next up is the armor shop. I warp us to Quratar’s adventurers’ guild, then walk from there.
“Is this platemail?” “Yes, It is.”
After we enter the store, I confirm with Vesta as we look for platemails. Steel platemail. This?
It is not full armor. Rather, it is basically a metal cylinder covering from shoulder up till waist. As for the waist potion, there’s something, which resembles a skirt, fluttering. I’m in luck. It’s not separate but integrated.
I wonder if she will look like a badly designed robot when she wears it. But then, I wonder how you can even wear it. Maybe it can open up into two from the side?
It looks heavy no matter how you look at it. I try to lift it by hand. It is not to the point where I can’t hold it, but it is heavy. Can you go around the labyrinth wearing this?
“Oh, this one here is frilly and looks better.” “It has tassets, too. Other than that, it doesn’t look much different from mine.”
Sherry tells me about it. Tassets? Even if you say it is different, I don’t see any difference. There are only three empty skill slots on it.
“It’s Heavy. Vesta, will you be able to wear it?” “Let me see. I think it will be alright.”
Vesta raises the steel platemail. That’s strange. It seemed lighter when Vesta lifted it. Maybe it gets subjected to correction when someone from the dragonkin tribe carries it?
“Will this armor be fine?” “Yes, it is plenty. Thank you very much.”
I move to other shelves. I choose steel gauntlets and steel demi-greaves to go with the platemail. They are bracers and footwear made of steel.
Steel demi-greaves have knee-length leg guards attached to them.
From the equipment containing free skill slots, I let Vesta choose. I pass on the head equipment. She would look like a proper knight if she were to wear a full-face helm. However, Strengthened Hard Leather Hat will go to waste if that happened.
“Choose the one you like.” “Okay.”
I leave it to Vesta, and go back to the counter. I hate carrying heavy objects.
“Large shield, you have any for sale?” “The shield for dragonkin, eh? Sadly, I don’t have them here in my shop.” “I see. In that case, I am good.”
I tried to ask the shop clerk, but as I suspected, he doesn’t sell large shields. Since it is not here, there’s nothing I can do. There doesn’t seem to be much damage on the 18th floor, so Vesta’s Dual Wielding is good for now.
“I would like this one.”
Vesta and the others bring protective gear over. Sherry had steel gauntlets, Miria had steel demi-greaves, Vesta was carrying steel platemail in her arms. She couldn’t carry them all? It is quite difficult, indeed.
I pay the amount and put them in my Item Box. Even the big platemail fits nicely inside the Item Box. I am grateful.
“How about buying food ingredients after this? Since I will be cooking the oysters, can I ask of you to make another dish?” “Please leave it to me.”
I ask of Roxanne after we left the armor shop. Since no one seems to know how to cook oyster, I have to be the one to do it. When we arrive at home, I wash the oysters well, then dredge them in wheat flour and sauté them in butter. Once I apply the lemon juice, which I will ask Vesta to squeeze. It will be done.
Vesta squeezes the lemon with ease. It feels like a small mandarin instead of a lemon that is being squeezed. From now on, I will have her help me to the utmost of her ability.
The butter sautéed oyster went quite well. The oysters were cooked pretty nicely. The inside is soft and rich in taste. The sour tinge of the lemon added a good accent to the taste.
“The cooking of Master is absolutely the best.” “It is as good as expected. I really feel like it had the same kind of taste as back then.” “Tasty, desu.” “Is it really okay for me to be eating such extravagant food?”
It seems popular with the four of them.
“Vesta, try on your protective gear after the dinner is over. It will be a problem if you get confused tomorrow morning.” “Okay. Understood.”
I talk while eating an oyster. Albeit large, because there was just one for each of us, the oysters vanished right away. There is nothing I can do about it.
After the dinner, I had Vesta try on the platemail. When I thought that it would be dark in the early morning, it is better to have her try it out once before that.
“How is it? You think you can wear it alone?” “It may be difficult to wear it alone.” “I thought so.” “Do, desu.”
Miria opens the platemail and lifts it up. She’s puts it on Vesta’s body, and closes it. She seems to have fitted into it.
“Miria, thank you.” “Onee-chan, desu.” “Thank you very much.”
Vesta expresses her gratitude. Next, she wears the demi-greaves.
“I should have put on the demi-greaves first.”
Vesta rues. She puts the gauntlets on as well. I guess it was hard for her to bend her body after wearing the platemail. It was a good decision to have had her try it now.
The steel equipment are more stylish than I thought. I was wrong to think she would look like a badly-designed robot. Her body lines are being emphasized, without it being too tight. Her figure is gorgeous.
No matter how you look at it, she looks like a reverse-trap. There’s probably no such thing as reverse-trap in this world. I would like to call her Oscar.
“It fits you well. Is it heavy?” “A little bit, but I believe I will be fine.”
So it is heavy, after all, huh? Is she perhaps not able to do anything but stand there? After having her try them on, I make her take them off immediately.
Thereafter, I have her take off her clothes, and go to the bathroom. To wipe the sweat off with hot water. After cleaning the sweat, she puts on the camisole negligee.
“So, how is it, Vesta? You were able to put it on?” “Yes. But umm, the hem is short.”
When I enter the bedroom, Vesta was wearing the black camisole. Because of her big chest, the camisole looked more lifted than it was supposed to be. Just like… a pyramid? I would like to call it King Khufu.
“Ooh, Isn’t it better?” “Thank you very much. But it is embarrassing since it is too short.”
The hem was a little above her knees. It isn’t that short, even though it is called ‘mini’. She will be embarrassed if her knee caps were visible, especially since miniskirt is not known in this world. I would name it Twiggy.
That’s how enchanted I am. In Japan, pushing down the girls wearing miniskirts was unthinkable. Shit. I can’t wait.
I make her sit down on the side of the bed. Her thighs get exposed further when she sits down. And because of the black colored camisole, her charm blooms even more. This extreme charm can’t be imitated.
I pull Vesta into my embrace. I touch her knees. The soft and smooth feeling between the satin hem and her bare legs is incredible.
While my hands were feeling her body, my lips go for hers. As for the order of kissing before going to sleep, Roxanne is last. Which makes Vesta first.
I’m grateful for this order. Good job me, who came up with this order.

Initiation Ceremony
“Then let’s head to the room.”
I don’t know whether he read the awkward mood or not; however, Baron Ester offers me a way out.
He quickly starts walking and leads.
I am grateful to him.
I quickly follow behind him.
I can feel a strange pressure coming from behind me.
Four people — including the Emperor, the Duke and the Earl — have tagged along, too.
Sebastian and the other staff members seem to be staying behind.
The initiation ceremony will seemingly be held with these members.
Even the party members don’t seem to be present.
Will the initiation ceremony be held together with the Emperor?
Ester goes upstairs to the third floor, walks down the corridor and opens the first door.
I enter, determined.
It is but an ordinary room.
After I enter, the four behind me follow in as well.
“I am glad you were able to join, as I expected, without any issue.”
“Yes.”
When the Duke comes in, we exchange a few words.
Following in right after him is the Emperor.
From a glance, you can tell that the Earl, who was standing next to the Emperor, is a stern warrior.
Is he the Emperor’s guard?
In contrast with his abundant moustache, the hair on his head seems desolate.
If viewed from the top, it would probably look like a bar code.
He has a tall stature. He will be able to look down on everyone excepting Vesta.
“Alright then, now that everyone is inside, the initiation ceremony and the admission courtesy will be conducted for Gaius, Carlos and Michio as soon as the preparations have been completed.”
Ester, who preceded us in the room, turns around and faces everyone.
However, was it really necessary to call my name in the last?
The other guy, beside the Duke, seems to be a new member, too.
Since he entered the lodge with the Emperor, he must be an official.
“Please take care of me.”
The Emperor bows.
“Please treat me well.”
“I-I will be in your care.”
I have no idea as to whom the Emperor was addressed to; however, since the other guy followed suit, I go along and greet, too.
“Gaius and Carlos have joined as second rank while Michio first rank. The initiation ceremony requires a minimum of three members as witnesses. Today, in addition to myself, Bruno, who is the referrer of Gaius and Carlos, and Brocken, who is the referrer of Michio, are present.”
“Bruno here.”
“Brocken here.”
Following Ester’s introduction, both the Duke and the Earl proceed to stand next to the Baron.
So the Earl was the referrer?
Unsurprisingly, the Emperor has joined as a higher rank than me.
I am glad.
“Then you three wait in this room for a while.”
Done with the greetings, Ester moves to the next room.
Wait a moment.
Why am I being left behind with the Emperor?
And there is another man, who may be an official, with the Emperor.
I gaze at them with pleading eyes; however, the Baron and the Duke vanish into the next room.
Oh well. Unless they know about my background, there is no way for it to be a trap.
Even the Earl leaves the Emperor behind and goes ahead.
Let’s be positive.
And look at it from another perspective.
The ratio of the nobility has decreased from 4/6 to 1/3.
Considering the fact that the Emperor is not supposedly a noble, all the nobles have disappeared from the room.
“Is Michio from the human tribe?”
“Indeed. Pleased to meet you.”
Impossible.
I am speaking with the Emperor.
“Casual language is fine. It is a rule of the lodge to communicate on equal terms. People around Us only use courteous words. I am eager to learn of the words spoken on the streets.”
It is because you are the Emperor your majesty that people use courteous words.
“I-I understand.”
“So then, are 《you》 from the human tribe?” (TN: Addressing someone of lower status)
That second-person is awkward.
“That’s right.”
“You are considerably younger in that case. How old are you?”
“I am 17 years old.”
He will know my age if he looks at my Intelligence Card.
The server had better not read it.
“Are you joining at this age? That is extraordinarily excellent.”
“No, it is not much.”
“Disappointing. Truly disappointing. When modesty exceeds limit, it becomes immorality. Be considerate of other members and others who were not admitted.”
I have been rebuked by the Emperor.
He is right. Since there would be people who were rejected even though they wanted to join, I cannot assume the air of superiority in front of those people.
As the Emperor said, huh?
He seems to be an upright person by nature.
“I see.”
“Because We were admitted after growing old.”
“That is still great.”
“It may seem an excuse but the day is too short for Us to earnestly enter the labyrinth. We tend to be busy with various matters.”
That is obvious.
You are the Emperor, after all.
On the contrary, I want to ask as to why do you even enter?
“Really?”
“Although Our official position is confidential, We have a duty of raising an heir.”
Ignoring We, Our and Us for a moment, is that the reason as to why he intends to keep it a secret?
For the time being, it seems better if I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know that this person is the Emperor.
“An heir?”
“Because there are teachings from Our ancestors which We have to pass on to Our descendents.”
I wonder.
It sounds like Uesugi Youzan, the benevolent feudal lord from Edo period.
‘The state is inherited from one’s ancestors and passed on to one’s descendants; it should not be administered selfishly.’ That guy.
Because the state is transmitted from the ancestors to the descendants, the rulers cannot do as they please is what I have heard.
Didn’t you want to say ‘Our state’?
“I don’t really get it but it sounds troublesome.”
“We could not enter the labyrinth earnestly after Our eldest child grew up to the age of 15 and became an adult. It has been a decade.”
He will be able to enter the labyrinth when the crown prince reaches the age when he can take over.
Mortality rate of infants in this world seems to be high.
Until he ensures that there is a successor, he cannot do as he pleases.
As per Appraisal, the Emperor is 39 years old.
If his child was 15 years old 10 years ago, then he must be 25 years old now.
Huh?
Doesn’t this calculation seem off?
“Are you having suspicions?”
“You look too young for that.”
“You can say that. It was Our duty.”
“Is that so? But why are you joining after getting old?”
“If We don’t exterminate the labyrinths, there is no meaning to Our life. Because Our child needs to grow to adulthood, we have to do it in their stead.”
The Emperor gives a heroic justification.
Being an emperor doesn’t seem to always be good.
Even the Duchess, Cassia, is like that. The nobles in this world seem to have noble thoughts.
Is everyone here like that?
“Shall we begin then?”
When I was puzzled after learning of his heroic resolve, Ester comes back.
Nice timing.
“Are we starting?”
“Everyone, wear this.”
The Baron is carrying while clothes.
And is wearing one himself.
It is an oversized T-shirt.
According to Appraisal, it seems to be called Dalmatic.
“Dalmatic?”
“It is commendable for Michio to recognize it. It is an equipment handed down in the society. It is required to be worn on the occasion of admission courtesy.”
Ester passes me the Dalmatic.
“I think I saw it somewhere.”
“It is the equipment one of our Wizards wears.”
“Ah, so it was that, huh?”
The Emperor and the other man are conversing.
Like I speculated, the other man is one of the Emperor’s officials.
Since he said ‘one of our Wizards’, are they both part of the same party?
Can other party members join, too?
“Put this on and head to the next room.”
“Baron, We heard that it is unusual for more than one person to join at the same time. Is that true?”
The Emperor asks Ester.
“That’s right. This is the first time more than one person are joining at the same time ever since I became the president.”
Okay, now that is something important.
Baron Ester seems to be the Empire Liberation Society’s President.
As a President, he is more than qualified to judge.
“As We thought, it is unusual, huh?”
“There are not many talented people appropriate for admission. There may almost be no precedent of three joining at the same time. As for you two, as you may be aware, it is a custom for the Imperial Guard to join together with the Emperor. It happened in the past, too.”
The other man is the Imperial Guard?
Since he is the one chosen from the Imperial Guards, he must be strong.
As you would expect from an emperor. They need to be guarded at all times.
There are no guards with the Duke and Baron here.
But they do have Sacrificial Misanga, so it should be alright, no?
I don’t care about the Duke, though.
“Uh, alright then. As for the order of joining, Michio should be first.”
After pondering over something, the Emperor announces.
“Because of Our occupation, we are not used to respecting others. We often look down on our companions. That is not supposed to be good. We want Michio to be admitted first, so that We respect him as Our senior brother 《senior》. This way, Our arrogant heart may soften up a bit. It is unusual for three to join at the same time, so this must be a kind of guidance, certainly.”
No, wait!
Even though what you said is absolutely wonderful.
Try to put yourself in the shoes of the person being respected.
My heart will not soften.
The Emperor must be aware of the situation of the person being respected from his experience.
Because it is natural for the Emperor to be respected, is that why he can maintain composure?
Ester appreciates him.
“Is that so?”
“The order of joining will be Michio, Gaius and Carlos.”
“That is good.”
The order has been decided.
As if it were an Imperial decree.
The Emperor’s proposal must not be denied.
Actually, the Guard Carlos is in the last, after Gaius.
Is it unacceptable to show respect to a guard who accompanies you at all times?
Why don’t you have your way with your officials?
“Well then, once you have finished your preparations, come over.”
“Okay.”
Since I can’t help it, I put the Dalmatic on top-down and move to the next room.
It is quite dark inside the neighboring room.
Only two thin candles are lit.
The two candlesticks are on a long and narrow table lying on which is a white cloth. Both the Duke and the Earl are on the other side.
Both of them have the Dalmatic on.
Ester goes to the other side and positions himself between the two.
“Close the door, please.”
“Understood.”
Upon Ester’s request, the Emperor’s guard closes the door. The light from the previous room vanishes, making the room even darker.
The atmosphere feels occult.
Only the candlelight is illuminating the surroundings dimly.
“Michio, step forward.”
“Okay.”
Upon the Baron’s instruction, I step forward to the front of the table.
At the same time, the Duke moves.
He shifts to the side of the table and puts equal distance between me and the Baron.
“We will now hold Michio’s initiation ceremony to the Empire Liberation Society. The referrer will address the referred.”
“I, Brocken, a member of the Empire Liberation Society, recognize the strength and the character of this person named Michio. I recommended him as I found him suitable to be a member of the Empire Liberation Society. Michio will bring new ideas and competition to the Empire Liberation Society. He will probably become a force in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“I, Ester, confirmed Michio’s ability. If there is a person who objects his admission, come forward.”
Even if you say ‘a person who objects’, it is my first time meeting the people here beside the examiner and the referrer.
This speech is probably a part of the courtesy.
“Michio’s admission can be deemed unobjected.”
After waiting for a while, the other witness, the Earl, speaks.
Summing it up was his role, it seems.
“I acknowledge Michio’s admission to the Empire Liberation Society. Michio, repeat the words of oath after me.”
“Okay.”
Is there even such a thing?
“I promise that as a member of the Empire Liberation Society, I will not neglect putting effort and devotion in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“I, Michio, promise that as a member of the Empire Liberation Society, I will not neglect putting effort and devotion in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“And I swear not to leak any internal information of the Empire Liberation Society.”
“And I swear not to leak any internal information of the Empire Liberation Society.”
I repeat Ester’s words and take the oath.
I don’t have any reservations about the content of the oath.
“The initiation ceremony is now over. Welcome to the Empire Liberation Society.”
“Yes.”
“After the initiation ceremony for the remaining two people has been conducted, the new members will partake in the admission courtesy. You will have to confess one of your embarrassing sexual secrets. This courtesy is essential in order for you to reborn as a strong member of the Empire Liberation Society.”
Do we have to go so far as to partake in such a courtesy?
Confession will raise sense of solidarity which will enforce sense of belonging to the society, huh?
This initiation thing.
I have a lot of secrets.
“A secret?”
“Now that you have joined the Empire Liberation Society, it is against the rules to expose secrets. Because it will not leak outside this room not matter what kind of confession it is, rest assured. As for the referrer, because they are often close, it is possible to have them leave if you wish. As for the two in the back, think over what you will confess during the initiation ceremony.”
“Very well.”
“Okay.”
The Emperor and the Guard answer.
Are you going to make even the Emperor confess?
Should I rather reveal that I came from Earth?
If I reveal that secret here, I can have only the Emperor, the Duke and the people here know about the secret without it leaking outside.
It may come in handy if something happens at some point in future.
However, they might consider it a joke if I said I came from another world.
Or if I revealed that I can cast magic even though I am an Adventurer.
It is possible to be verified without moving out of this place.
If I showed it in front of them, they would have to believe it, no?
“I have gotten tired of hearing confessions of not being able to stop masturbating. Keep in mind that until I recognize your confession, you will have to keep going.”
There is a merit in sharing a secret with the Emperor or the Duke; however, exactly what kind of secret, it is difficult to decide.
If there is a research institution in the Empire’s infrastructure relating to fighting against the labyrinths, it may be sent there as research material.
Confessing a normal secret should be fine.
Initiation Ceremony
“Then let’s head to the room.”
I don’t know whether he read the awkward mood or not; however, Baron Ester offers me a way out.
He quickly starts walking and leads.
I am grateful to him.
I quickly follow behind him.
I can feel a strange pressure coming from behind me.
Four people — including the Emperor, the Duke and the Earl — have tagged along, too.
Sebastian and the other staff members seem to be staying behind.
The initiation ceremony will seemingly be held with these members.
Even the party members don’t seem to be present.
Will the initiation ceremony be held together with the Emperor?
Ester goes upstairs to the third floor, walks down the corridor and opens the first door.
I enter, determined.
It is but an ordinary room.
After I enter, the four behind me follow in as well.
“I am glad you were able to join, as I expected, without any issue.”
“Yes.”
When the Duke comes in, we exchange a few words.
Following in right after him is the Emperor.
From a glance, you can tell that the Earl, who was standing next to the Emperor, is a stern warrior.
Is he the Emperor’s guard?
In contrast with his abundant moustache, the hair on his head seems desolate.
If viewed from the top, it would probably look like a bar code.
He has a tall stature. He will be able to look down on everyone excepting Vesta.
“Alright then, now that everyone is inside, the initiation ceremony and the admission courtesy will be conducted for Gaius, Carlos and Michio as soon as the preparations have been completed.”
Ester, who preceded us in the room, turns around and faces everyone.
However, was it really necessary to call my name in the last?
The other guy, beside the Duke, seems to be a new member, too.
Since he entered the lodge with the Emperor, he must be an official.
“Please take care of me.”
The Emperor bows.
“Please treat me well.”
“I-I will be in your care.”
I have no idea as to whom the Emperor was addressed to; however, since the other guy followed suit, I go along and greet, too.
“Gaius and Carlos have joined as second rank while Michio first rank. The initiation ceremony requires a minimum of three members as witnesses. Today, in addition to myself, Bruno, who is the referrer of Gaius and Carlos, and Brocken, who is the referrer of Michio, are present.”
“Bruno here.”
“Brocken here.”
Following Ester’s introduction, both the Duke and the Earl proceed to stand next to the Baron.
So the Earl was the referrer?
Unsurprisingly, the Emperor has joined as a higher rank than me.
I am glad.
“Then you three wait in this room for a while.”
Done with the greetings, Ester moves to the next room.
Wait a moment.
Why am I being left behind with the Emperor?
And there is another man, who may be an official, with the Emperor.
I gaze at them with pleading eyes; however, the Baron and the Duke vanish into the next room.
Oh well. Unless they know about my background, there is no way for it to be a trap.
Even the Earl leaves the Emperor behind and goes ahead.
Let’s be positive.
And look at it from another perspective.
The ratio of the nobility has decreased from 4/6 to 1/3.
Considering the fact that the Emperor is not supposedly a noble, all the nobles have disappeared from the room.
“Is Michio from the human tribe?”
“Indeed. Pleased to meet you.”
Impossible.
I am speaking with the Emperor.
“Casual language is fine. It is a rule of the lodge to communicate on equal terms. People around Us only use courteous words. I am eager to learn of the words spoken on the streets.”
It is because you are the Emperor your majesty that people use courteous words.
“I-I understand.”
“So then, are 《you》 from the human tribe?” (TN: Addressing someone of lower status)
That second-person is awkward.
“That’s right.”
“You are considerably younger in that case. How old are you?”
“I am 17 years old.”
He will know my age if he looks at my Intelligence Card.
The server had better not read it.
“Are you joining at this age? That is extraordinarily excellent.”
“No, it is not much.”
“Disappointing. Truly disappointing. When modesty exceeds limit, it becomes immorality. Be considerate of other members and others who were not admitted.”
I have been rebuked by the Emperor.
He is right. Since there would be people who were rejected even though they wanted to join, I cannot assume the air of superiority in front of those people.
As the Emperor said, huh?
He seems to be an upright person by nature.
“I see.”
“Because We were admitted after growing old.”
“That is still great.”
“It may seem an excuse but the day is too short for Us to earnestly enter the labyrinth. We tend to be busy with various matters.”
That is obvious.
You are the Emperor, after all.
On the contrary, I want to ask as to why do you even enter?
“Really?”
“Although Our official position is confidential, We have a duty of raising an heir.”
Ignoring We, Our and Us for a moment, is that the reason as to why he intends to keep it a secret?
For the time being, it seems better if I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know that this person is the Emperor.
“An heir?”
“Because there are teachings from Our ancestors which We have to pass on to Our descendents.”
I wonder.
It sounds like Uesugi Youzan, the benevolent feudal lord from Edo period.
‘The state is inherited from one’s ancestors and passed on to one’s descendants; it should not be administered selfishly.’ That guy.
Because the state is transmitted from the ancestors to the descendants, the rulers cannot do as they please is what I have heard.
Didn’t you want to say ‘Our state’?
“I don’t really get it but it sounds troublesome.”
“We could not enter the labyrinth earnestly after Our eldest child grew up to the age of 15 and became an adult. It has been a decade.”
He will be able to enter the labyrinth when the crown prince reaches the age when he can take over.
Mortality rate of infants in this world seems to be high.
Until he ensures that there is a successor, he cannot do as he pleases.
As per Appraisal, the Emperor is 39 years old.
If his child was 15 years old 10 years ago, then he must be 25 years old now.
Huh?
Doesn’t this calculation seem off?
“Are you having suspicions?”
“You look too young for that.”
“You can say that. It was Our duty.”
“Is that so? But why are you joining after getting old?”
“If We don’t exterminate the labyrinths, there is no meaning to Our life. Because Our child needs to grow to adulthood, we have to do it in their stead.”
The Emperor gives a heroic justification.
Being an emperor doesn’t seem to always be good.
Even the Duchess, Cassia, is like that. The nobles in this world seem to have noble thoughts.
Is everyone here like that?
“Shall we begin then?”
When I was puzzled after learning of his heroic resolve, Ester comes back.
Nice timing.
“Are we starting?”
“Everyone, wear this.”
The Baron is carrying while clothes.
And is wearing one himself.
It is an oversized T-shirt.
According to Appraisal, it seems to be called Dalmatic.
“Dalmatic?”
“It is commendable for Michio to recognize it. It is an equipment handed down in the society. It is required to be worn on the occasion of admission courtesy.”
Ester passes me the Dalmatic.
“I think I saw it somewhere.”
“It is the equipment one of our Wizards wears.”
“Ah, so it was that, huh?”
The Emperor and the other man are conversing.
Like I speculated, the other man is one of the Emperor’s officials.
Since he said ‘one of our Wizards’, are they both part of the same party?
Can other party members join, too?
“Put this on and head to the next room.”
“Baron, We heard that it is unusual for more than one person to join at the same time. Is that true?”
The Emperor asks Ester.
“That’s right. This is the first time more than one person are joining at the same time ever since I became the president.”
Okay, now that is something important.
Baron Ester seems to be the Empire Liberation Society’s President.
As a President, he is more than qualified to judge.
“As We thought, it is unusual, huh?”
“There are not many talented people appropriate for admission. There may almost be no precedent of three joining at the same time. As for you two, as you may be aware, it is a custom for the Imperial Guard to join together with the Emperor. It happened in the past, too.”
The other man is the Imperial Guard?
Since he is the one chosen from the Imperial Guards, he must be strong.
As you would expect from an emperor. They need to be guarded at all times.
There are no guards with the Duke and Baron here.
But they do have Sacrificial Misanga, so it should be alright, no?
I don’t care about the Duke, though.
“Uh, alright then. As for the order of joining, Michio should be first.”
After pondering over something, the Emperor announces.
“Because of Our occupation, we are not used to respecting others. We often look down on our companions. That is not supposed to be good. We want Michio to be admitted first, so that We respect him as Our senior brother 《senior》. This way, Our arrogant heart may soften up a bit. It is unusual for three to join at the same time, so this must be a kind of guidance, certainly.”
No, wait!
Even though what you said is absolutely wonderful.
Try to put yourself in the shoes of the person being respected.
My heart will not soften.
The Emperor must be aware of the situation of the person being respected from his experience.
Because it is natural for the Emperor to be respected, is that why he can maintain composure?
Ester appreciates him.
“Is that so?”
“The order of joining will be Michio, Gaius and Carlos.”
“That is good.”
The order has been decided.
As if it were an Imperial decree.
The Emperor’s proposal must not be denied.
Actually, the Guard Carlos is in the last, after Gaius.
Is it unacceptable to show respect to a guard who accompanies you at all times?
Why don’t you have your way with your officials?
“Well then, once you have finished your preparations, come over.”
“Okay.”
Since I can’t help it, I put the Dalmatic on top-down and move to the next room.
It is quite dark inside the neighboring room.
Only two thin candles are lit.
The two candlesticks are on a long and narrow table lying on which is a white cloth. Both the Duke and the Earl are on the other side.
Both of them have the Dalmatic on.
Ester goes to the other side and positions himself between the two.
“Close the door, please.”
“Understood.”
Upon Ester’s request, the Emperor’s guard closes the door. The light from the previous room vanishes, making the room even darker.
The atmosphere feels occult.
Only the candlelight is illuminating the surroundings dimly.
“Michio, step forward.”
“Okay.”
Upon the Baron’s instruction, I step forward to the front of the table.
At the same time, the Duke moves.
He shifts to the side of the table and puts equal distance between me and the Baron.
“We will now hold Michio’s initiation ceremony to the Empire Liberation Society. The referrer will address the referred.”
“I, Brocken, a member of the Empire Liberation Society, recognize the strength and the character of this person named Michio. I recommended him as I found him suitable to be a member of the Empire Liberation Society. Michio will bring new ideas and competition to the Empire Liberation Society. He will probably become a force in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“I, Ester, confirmed Michio’s ability. If there is a person who objects his admission, come forward.”
Even if you say ‘a person who objects’, it is my first time meeting the people here beside the examiner and the referrer.
This speech is probably a part of the courtesy.
“Michio’s admission can be deemed unobjected.”
After waiting for a while, the other witness, the Earl, speaks.
Summing it up was his role, it seems.
“I acknowledge Michio’s admission to the Empire Liberation Society. Michio, repeat the words of oath after me.”
“Okay.”
Is there even such a thing?
“I promise that as a member of the Empire Liberation Society, I will not neglect putting effort and devotion in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“I, Michio, promise that as a member of the Empire Liberation Society, I will not neglect putting effort and devotion in exterminating the monsters and the labyrinths.”
“And I swear not to leak any internal information of the Empire Liberation Society.”
“And I swear not to leak any internal information of the Empire Liberation Society.”
I repeat Ester’s words and take the oath.
I don’t have any reservations about the content of the oath.
“The initiation ceremony is now over. Welcome to the Empire Liberation Society.”
“Yes.”
“After the initiation ceremony for the remaining two people has been conducted, the new members will partake in the admission courtesy. You will have to confess one of your embarrassing sexual secrets. This courtesy is essential in order for you to reborn as a strong member of the Empire Liberation Society.”
Do we have to go so far as to partake in such a courtesy?
Confession will raise sense of solidarity which will enforce sense of belonging to the society, huh?
This initiation thing.
I have a lot of secrets.
“A secret?”
“Now that you have joined the Empire Liberation Society, it is against the rules to expose secrets. Because it will not leak outside this room not matter what kind of confession it is, rest assured. As for the referrer, because they are often close, it is possible to have them leave if you wish. As for the two in the back, think over what you will confess during the initiation ceremony.”
“Very well.”
“Okay.”
The Emperor and the Guard answer.
Are you going to make even the Emperor confess?
Should I rather reveal that I came from Earth?
If I reveal that secret here, I can have only the Emperor, the Duke and the people here know about the secret without it leaking outside.
It may come in handy if something happens at some point in future.
However, they might consider it a joke if I said I came from another world.
Or if I revealed that I can cast magic even though I am an Adventurer.
It is possible to be verified without moving out of this place.
If I showed it in front of them, they would have to believe it, no?
“I have gotten tired of hearing confessions of not being able to stop masturbating. Keep in mind that until I recognize your confession, you will have to keep going.”
There is a merit in sharing a secret with the Emperor or the Duke; however, exactly what kind of secret, it is difficult to decide.
If there is a research institution in the Empire’s infrastructure relating to fighting against the labyrinths, it may be sent there as research material.
Confessing a normal secret should be fine.
Initiation Ceremony
“Then let’s head to the room.”
I don’t know whether he read the awkward mood or not; however, Baron Ester offers me a way out.
He quickly starts walking and leads.
I am grateful to him.
I quickly follow behind him.
I can feel a strange pressure coming from behind me.
Four people — including the Emperor, the Duke and the Earl — have tagged along, too.
Sebastian and the other staff members seem to be staying behind.
The initiation ceremony will seemingly be held with these members.
Even the party members don’t seem to be present.
Will the initiation ceremony be held together with the Emperor?
Ester goes upstairs to the third floor, walks down the corridor and opens the first door.
I enter, determined.
It is but an ordinary room.

“Are you having suspicions?”
“You look too young for that.”
“You can say that. It was Our duty.”
Did you procreate at the age of 14?
Including one year of pregnancy period, he must have procreated when he was 13 years old.
Even if it is assumed that one turns adult at the age of 15, he procreated when he was 15 years old.
Actually, I am not sure whether I should be envious or not.
T-There is no reason for me to be envious.
“Is that so? But why are you joining after getting old?”“If We don’t exterminate the labyrinths, there is no meaning to Our life. Because Our child needs to grow to adulthood, we have to do it in their stead.”
