Chapter 64


Chapter 64



“I am the butler left to manage this mansion . ”


“Likewise I am the housemaid . ”


This place seems to have the setting called the Deceased Aristocrat’s Mansion .


The vindictive spirit of a n.o.ble who had died a regretful death came out to wander every night, it was that sort of setting .


“The town mayor was on a friendly terms with the n.o.ble during his lifetime, he was grieved in the heart about the strangeness in this mansion . ”


I stood dazed in the interior of the s.p.a.cious room .


“U, u, gaa~~”


Suddenly, the housemaid attacked me .


The knife which was aggressive unlike the knives for household use was gripped in the maid’s hand .


“Yo~, to . ”


I quickly evaded it and it was blown off by my sheathed sword . All the same, it was unpleasant to make a b.l.o.o.d.y entrance .


“Hey, hey, are you ok!?”


“Th-this!? The h.e.l.l!?”


Sai approached me while worried . I informed him that I was safe, and asked for help to tie up the maid .


Though the butler acted surprised, it was transparent .


This fellow also had a knife in his breast pocket .


Why do I know such a thing?


That is, when I entered the mansion the first time, I frisked the doll .


In truth, I was going to take away the knife, but it was fixed with non-destructive magic so it was impossible .


Therefore, I expected to some degree of being attack by the housemaid .


It was correct to also do a full pat-down on the maid-san .


She was the owner of a considerable threat (bust) .


“Haha, a most wondrous manner, to beest truly suffering as a sir . ”


“Don’t you want to confirm the feeling? Do you also often touch the body of Ruby?”


“Master?”


I advanced ahead while not being discouraged by the cold eyes from the women camp .


The butler who regained his composure with surprising swiftness guided us .


“The town mayor should have came here . However, it is locked and it is not possible to enter inside . The mayor had the key and he has been inside . ”


I ignored the butler’s drawn-out trivial explanation on the setting, I prepared the indicated keys which were the [Important Items] which I collected in the town one by one .


The door made a *click* sound and opened when I turned the third indicated key around .


“Incidentally, it has been heard that there is a spare key in the town . However, I don’t know where it is . ”


The butler still continued to speak his speech because he was in the middle of his explanation .


We proceeded beyond the door without caring about it .


“Zir, there might be a device that begins to move, please search the mansion again . ”


“Yea, as was expected the dolls has’t begun to move . Thither art goblins in the room with the may’r . The way they hadst came out wast from the adjoining waiting room . ”


When the room was opened, a large quant.i.ty of goblins would attack me . A standard trap .


“The [Guardian] tis beyond that room . This, is’t a Minotaur?”


For the time being, I went to the room where the mayor was .


I heard a voice and it seems that the butler was still besides the door .


“It is here . ”


“Yea, thither shall beest swarms of goblins . ”


The goblins who were inside all looked towards us at once when I opened the door .


Despite them being goblins, I will not finish unhurt if I’m attacked by this number .


However…


“Well done . Is the work progressing?”


I called out to the goblins inside frankly .


“Gigi, gugi!”


The goblin who was slightly bigger than other guys approached . I confirmed the work progress from him . It seems to be a little bit more .


I have already met them once .


When I entered the mansion illegally, I found a hidden door when I checked this room carefully .


I had a ghost probe the inside of the door because that was the residence s.p.a.ce of the goblins, that being the case I cooperated with Ruby and added all the members as subordinates .


There were 36 goblins in total, they were commanded to safeguard the room and they seemed to have been kept living in the adjoining residence s.p.a.ce .


They might have been disgusted with such a life, they had easily acknowledged to become subordinates .


Therefore, I made them prepare to move before I left the mansion .


Amy, from the rear, had a slightly bad complexion . It might be because of the trauma caused by goblins .


She still reacts to strange goblins . (EN: as in strangers)


By the way, if it was the goblins in the village, I was familiar enough with them that I could distinguish them by face .


Particularly, the 3 goblin artists, I treated them as ceramic art apprentices .


The things which all goblins are good at seemed to be different .


“Pl-please help me!! I’m being surrounded by goblins!!”


From the depths of the room, I heard the mayor’s voice .


Perhaps, when the door was opened and the state of the mansion had activated the event might have been generated .


The mayor’s impa.s.sioned performance resounded silently in vain .


I ignored the mayor and met the end condition of this room .


The condition was [The goblins are gone from the mayor’s view] so I blind-folded the town mayor quietly .


I had the goblins here teach me this .


Then…


“Thanks, I’ve been saved . ”


Apparently, it seems that I was able to fulfill the end condition well . The stairs appeared near the mayor .


“The h.e.l.l, what are you?”


Sai had a face that showed he had seen an unbelievable thing here .


“I’m just a ordinary adventurer . ”


I moved the blindfolded doll uncle, that kept saying thanks with pleasure, and with everyone went down the stairs which had appeared .


Incidentally, the butler did not attack me .


Maybe the scenario which he attacked me was at the time when the first door was opened with the key .


When I went down the stairs, I arrived at a open s.p.a.ce with barred rock surfaces .


I recognized again that this here was a labyrinth .


In the depths of the open s.p.a.ce, when I confirmed the Minotaur’s status who was the lower layer [Guardian]…


Minotaur Lv . 40


Skill


【Self-regeneration】 ★★★


The damage to the body and the decreased health was recovered .


【Guardian】


Able to give protection to a target . In addition, it can grasp the target’s state .


Present target → Hidden Stairs


The upper limit of the target that can be protected depends on the level .


It showed itself here, the strongest enemy had appeared .


Lv . 40 was the same as Evin, but the minotaur should probably stress physical attacks .


It would recover even if it received a little damage because of its skill .


Is the skill 【Guardian】 a required skill of a boss monster?


Because it was possible to confirm it with the status, that there were hidden stairs was leaked .


Apparently, it doesn’t seem to attack us immediately even if we just came down the stairs .


Because it was just right, I began a strategy meeting with the new goblin companions .


I got ready and approached the Minotaur .


“Vumoooooo~~”


The Minotaur plunged in full of motivation . It lifted the huge battle axe in its hands easily and aimed towards me .


About your determination, I am sorry, but this wasn’t the place to honestly confront that fellow .


I issue instructions to the labyrinth goblins at once .


“Large crossbow corps, ready!!”


It was a [Weapon] used to attack in sieges the so called ballista .


Already, the 10 handheld personal weapons that boasted of offensive power were arranged in a line . (EN: so these are probably scorpions which are portable ballistae)


“Target, frontward minotaur . Odd corps, release!!”


Five long, large arrows were shot by my command .


“Guumoooo~”


The big body, approximately 3m in stature, caught the arrows and was blown off backwards .


The arrows, that were around 1m and similar to a spear, pierced deeply into the minotaur’s whole body .


One arrow was sticking out through the pierced right eye, and the arrow was unhesitantly pulled out .


The wound where it was extracted from emitted smoke and was closed like crazy .


By the way, this ballista . It was something that was produced in the goblins’ village .


Originally, I let them make it to defend the village, but because of the good workmans.h.i.+p I was going to try to sell it in town .


However, once I noticed the size of the goblins I gave up on selling it and had Ruby store it, so it’s somewhat useful for this maze capture .


“Odd corps, reload!! Even corps, ready to fire!! Release!!”


The second relay was shot and the minotaur’s posture was destroyed .


“Vururuuu . ”


When 10 shots had been fired, the regeneration speed of the minotaur declined .


At the beginning, the lost body parts were regenerated instantly, but now the restoration is a mere shadow of its former self .


It was already pierced throughout its body and it didn’t have any energy to pull the arrows out either, it collapsed and stopped moving .


Apparently, 【Self-regeneration】 seemed to cure health and wounds by using MP .


Now, Minotaur’s magical power was nearly empty .


Probably the health that remained will run out if it received one more attack .


I urged it to become a subordinate in that state . It appeared absurd, but the minotaurs were a tribe that followed strong individuals .


If it was defeated with any method, it will follow the victor . However, it was extremely difficult to weaken it here without killing the minotaur .


Sai couldn’t believe that such a minotaur was knocked down by goblins even though they had such numbers .


The goblins in the rear also seemed to be excited because they were able to overcome the minotaur .


Originally, these goblins seemed to have settled down in the upper layer, but the orcs, which were their natural enemy and also their rival, appeared there and defeated them in a struggle for existence .


Then, they found Selva the master of the labyrinth, they seemed to have kept protecting the mayor’s room in the lower layer .


Because those guys, who didn’t have confidence, could knock down a minotaur, who was at a higher rank, with their own strength, it was impossible for them not to be happy .


The open s.p.a.ce was filled with the merry noise of excited goblins .


“Vimo~~”


The minotaur let out one feeble cry and lowered its head . With this, the war potential considerably increased .


Especially, my being able to use 【Self-regeneration】 was huge .


From what I saw from the minotaur’s wound recovery, it was almost immortal if a steady supply of MP was received .


There were also gains in the labyrinth itself, Yakuu’s elder brother was also firmly found, it was a quite significant expedition .


I can leave the labyrinth in an instant if I climbed the hidden stairs which emerged after defeating the minotaur .


The exit of the stairs were connected one way to the entrance of the labyrinth .


In the olden days, it seemed to be so by the story of the adventurer who had cleared the labyrinth before . Well, the person in question seemed to have died already .


When I looked around the surroundings while thinking such a thing for some reason or another, I found that there was one door standing alone in the barred rock surface .
