Chapter 37: Naming

The master added nonchalantly.

However, there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

“Huh!?”

“Hey~ Don’t worry. They’re all just undead; everything else is fine!”

“No undead!”

A follower of Master Mikel, but an undead subordinate!

That’s blasphemous!

“Oh, I see. Rico has Master Mikel’s divine power, so undead will be difficult.”

“Hmm… I understand. Then I’ll try a new challenge!”

Master Niss carefully picked up the spider with two fingers.

Despite his elegant movements, his expression was subtle.

“Ugh… Eight legs and many eyes… How disgusting…”

He tried not to show it, but I could see the hand holding the spider trembling slightly.

Then, trying to maintain his elegance, he strode briskly to the deepest layer.

“Master Frostia, may I borrow your rare?”

Master Niss looked back and winked.

“Use it carefully.”

I felt a bit of wariness in those words.

“Yes, of course. Don’t worry!”

Nissimi’s bright voice echoed through the hall.

The sound of footsteps grew distant.

‘Spider… Fighting…’

Please come back alive…

The flower petals seemed to droop in sadness.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay…?”

“If you succeed, someone stronger than Glaceia will come out?”

“What! If you succeed!? If you succeed!?”

Then, there’s also failure!?

What kind of game has an equipment enhancement system!

But if you fail…

Does the spider just die when it says ‘destroyed’!?

In my imagination, the spider shattered into pieces with a blue light.

“No!”

“Well, then what if you fail…?”

“Well… I haven’t heard what happens either.”

The flower petals trembled in confusion at the master’s indifferent answer.

“No… My poor spider…”

The tip of the root scratched the ground anxiously.

You have to come back after successfully enhancing…

“Don’t worry too much. Even though it looks like that, it’s a guy who’s been doing this for thousands of years.”

‘You’ve been strengthening monsters for thousands of years!?’

Just how many monsters have been sacrificed…

No, I don’t want to think about that!

“Trust Nice just once. His subordinates trust Nice so much.”

‘Whew… That’s right. Lord Nice is also the ruler of the Great Labyrinth, and I didn’t trust him enough.’

I left the spider to the strengthening expert.

Lord Nice, one of the strongest in the world like my master, will strengthen it himself, so what am I worried about!

Let’s forget about our worries and do what we have to do!

‘Yes! Then I’ll go back to being the manager!’

‘Huh? You mean spreading the bugs?’

‘Yes! Watching the labyrinth and dealing with the monsters!’

‘Haha, that’s right. Our Rico will do whatever he wants.’

‘Hot! Our Rico! Do whatever he wants!’

My imaginary heart pounds!

Is now the time to confess?

Flicker, flutter!

At that moment, Miel, who was quick-witted, must have read my mind as she blushed and gave orders to the bugs, causing most of the bugs to disappear all over the labyrinth.

All that’s left are Cecilia, Glessia, Miel, and a few Bugles!

There aren’t many onlookers, so the timing is perfect!

Phew…

I take a deep breath in my head…!

‘Okay! I’ll do whatever you want, just like you said!’

《Chwiin-n》

However, the Bugles who had just left came back in a hurry.

‘Ouch! What the! At this crucial moment!’

Their confession timing was broken!

They wiggled!

Struggled!

‘Huh? The humans are here again?’

However, there was no sense of crisis in their appearance.

Rather, a feeling of joy? A feeling of welcome?

Who are the humans I met?

Seraphina or Beatrice?

Or, Brian Patti or Arthur Patti?

“Hmm. The humans are here again.”
