Labyrinth City Shashmeer. Located in the northwest part of the continent, it went by the name of its attached labyrinth. In fact, you could say that the city developed from the labyrinth.
It’s because of the characteristic that only Shashmeer’s Labyrinth has in the entire continent.
A person that should have died would be teleported outside the dungeon.
Although there are various other features as well, this one factor gathered explorers who had no other example to study.
Surrounding an open air fire, it was night and the party was a few days from the city.
Even Serge knew about it. For the person who reaches the last part of the labyrinth, among the vast riches you can obtain, it’s said that you can have a wish granted.
Even Lulu hasn’t said her purpose. She followed partly involuntarily. I’ll wait until she talks about it on her own.
She wanted to become a man again. Or at least a method to do so. This was Ria’s wish ever since being born.
However, she couldn’t say it.
“Is there anything Ria wants to wish for? I’d rather put in the effort to become strong myself.”
“If it’s Ojou, she would probably want amazing weapons right?”
“It’s a secret. If it comes true, you’ll naturally find out. Besides, there seems to be wishes that can’t be granted.”
Despite it being safe to die in the labyrinth, there’s a legend of someone that didn’t revive from being dead.
“Since we’ll ask around when we get there, we’ll think about the capture in detail when we get to town. Until then… only up to a group of six people can enter huh? That’s a problem, since Serge joined us we have seven now.”
Although Serge served as the one to ask, how to ask was the problem.
“You… what do you think I am? There’s no way we could leave the horses right?”
“Eh?”
“Eh? What ‘eh’?”
“Ojou, horses aren’t usually taken into the labyrinth. You entrust them to an inn.”
To the person that stopped playing at Dragon Quest III, it was unexpected.
Quickly crossing the national borders after half a month, Ria felt just how secure of a country Casalia Kingdom is.
With the Sleep Reduction Gift, it was like Ria got the short end of the stick.
Serge knew detailed information about the geography around here.
“Ogres huh? Sounds fun.”
After all, ogres were demi-humans that were once involved with demons. A long time ago they were called man-eating oni.
Ogres have been allies of Casalia since then, and in reality were preventing demons invading from the north.
Although they had warlike dispositions, their good point is that they’ve kept to the agreement.
“At any rate, there are a lot of demi-humans huh. Like dwarfs and halflings, don’t they account for more than half of the population?”
“It’s because there are a lot of forested and mountainous areas. There should also be an elf village too.”
“No, my father is from the Oomori Woods.”
“According to what I’ve been told, it seems that Grand Elder Corfus is my ancestor.”
Serge became excited and shouted. Although it was a person from two thousand years ago, that’s probably just recently for an elf.
In short, if you trace back one’s ancestry far enough, there’s bound to be some celebrities.
“I’ll teach you. But in exchange Lulu has to teach me some things I want.”
For some reason, the elf lover competed against the child.
“Wow~, it’s so big~”
As scheduled, the group arrived at the ogre village.
Even if it’s called a village, there’s about two thousand people living in it. And above all, it’s huge.
Their average heights exceeded two meters. Additionally, the female ogres had big boobs.
Ria unconsciously muttered such a thing. Lulu understood what she was thinking about and sighed.
There was a building ahead of the party that seemed to be an inn combined with a dining area.
“Oooh~, cool. The ogre country is a fighting country.”
Serge leisurely muttered from behind Ria. She jumped down from her horse and excitedly tried to get a better view.
Another ogre appeared from the inn’s broken entrance. It seemed to be a smaller ogre. Still, it was two heads taller than Ria.
Then a brawl began.
Punch, kick. Punch, kick.
No one moved to stop them, either. Even other ogres didn’t step in.
However, the fight didn’t last that long.
(Looks like Mike Tyson.)
The big ogre lost his fighting spirit and seemed to be about to collapse at any moment.
“He~y, isn’t it fine already~”
The surrounding people had probably noticed it as well, but they didn’t try to stop them. They probably won’t stop them.
It can’t be helped, Ria thought.
If no one stops them, I have no choice but to, Ria thought.
With there really being no other choice but to stop them, with a delighted look, Ria stepped in to stop it.
The ogre’s fist was stopped by small hands.
The moment he tried to pull his fist back, at that instant an extreme amount of strength stopped him.
The ogre wore an expression of astonishment. He extended his other arm to separate Ria from him.
Gripping the opponent’s right hand with both of his, just like that he was thrown with all her strength in a one-armed shoulder throw.
A heavy noise sounded out as the ogre was thrown to the ground with a thud.
“Has your head cooled down?”
Because she didn’t injure him at all.
However, the situation didn’t go how Ria thought it would.
The ogre jumped up and lowered his head, shouting in a comparatively high voice.
“Anego, please make me your disciple!” [TN: Non-blood related, respected sister-esque person.]
Gig the Ogre.
Currently, twelve years old.
