Next day, morning.
Waking up from my sleep, I felt something heavy pressing on the right side of my body, the moment I was aware, I used
"..."
"Sigh"
Last night right after I rejected her, instead of giving up she became even more determined and challenged that she would make me fall in love with her. After that, we headed to our room except for Hajime and Yue who shared a room.
Then we ate and took a bath, and after that, I went to sleep. Shea might have come after I went to sleep. Well, it's also good she didn't do something weird, if she did my defensive magic would have blasted her away.
"Mmhhh"
"Rihito~ i wnt lat gu~"
"..."
Seeing Shea mumbling in her sleep, I subconsciously smiled and patted her head.
"Make me fall in love, huh? It's not like I refuse to fall in love, at least not yet, but maybe in future", I mumbled to myself. Then I went to do my morning ritual, leaving Shea in my bed still sleeping.
"..."
After breakfast.
Everyone came together and went to collect the supplies.
First, we went to a clothing store where Shea bought clothes the same as in anime, a bikini set similar to what she was wearing beforehand when it came to modesty.
After we bought everything we needed for our trip to Reisen Gorge, we saw the whole city, and at noon with a little help from Hajime, we made a weapon for Shea similar to her canon counterpart a big two-handed hammer.
Which Shea instantly liked. It was similar to its canon counterpart, it could launch missiles If Shea wanted to.
Just like that, we spend the second day.
"..."
The next day at dawn we headed to the Reisen Gorge to find the entrance of Miledi Reisen's labyrinth.
Currently, Hajime and I were watching over Shea and Yue who are Masacaring a flock of Hyveria.
"One hit two kill Desu"
Booom!!!
Shea with her new Hammer Drucken crushed 2 Hyveria in one attack. Then she twisted the Hammer's grip, the hammer handle shortened, and from the hammer's side four cannon points came out, and launched missiles at the rest of the Hyveria killing the rest of the flock.
"It looks like you are getting used to the Hammer", I said to Shea.
Shea taking it as a compliment grinned, "That's because it is made out of your love".
Hearing such a cringe line, my eyebrow twitched, while Hajime grinned at me.
Shea cheerfully said, "Let's hunt a little more monsters, I still need to get used to my new partner", saying that Shea dragged Yue with her.
While Shea and Yue hunted. Hajime and I searched for the entrance of the labyrinth.
[Mmm… if I remember correctly it should be some were inside a cave.]
I have tried to use my mana sense, but to my annoyance in Reisen Gorge mana quantity is extremely thin, and because of that it is difficult to use
"Hajime did you find anything," I asked Hajime.
"No, I got nothing on my side", he responded.
"I think we should start making our camp", Hajime continued. Before I could respond. I heard Shea calling us.
"Rihitooo…, Hajime… come here hurry we found something", After hearing that Hajime and I both looked at each other and nodded.
"..."
"Hmmm… is this it", Hajime said with a weirded-out look.
"..."
"Maybe, it might be?", my look mirrored as Hajime's.
Currently, we were standing before a stone wall where it said, 'Wellcom~ to the Miledy Raisen Doki Doki Waku Waku great labyrinth~'.
"..."
"..."
"Well, at least the name match", I said while scratching my head.
"You see this I was the one who found this", puffing her chest up Shea announces.
"Good job", I praised her.
"Noo a simple praise is not enough I need a kiss", Shea demanded.
"Denied", my response was instantaneous.
"Waa.. and here I thought it would be easy", Shea acted like she was hurt and put her hand on the stone wall. "Waa!!", Suddenly the wall flipped like one of those ninja secret doors taking Shea inside.
"..."
"..."
After seeing such a bizarre scene. We also followed along, and the moment we entered a dozen arrows came at our vitals, which was no problem for us, with my speed I just dodged, Hajime and Yue also didn't have a problem with arrows.
"A booby trap, If it was anyone besides us they would have been instantly dead or critically injured", to which Hajime and Yue nodded.
I looked around but didn't find Shea.
"Where did Shea go", I spoke out loud.
"Rihito", Yue called out to me.
"What happened" I responded. She then pointed me a my left. I followed that direction and found Shea stuck in a wall full of arrows, this scene was comically straight out of Looney Toons which I used to watch.
"..."
"..."
"You ok there," I asked in concern.
"I am fine", she responded. I then helped get her out of there.
Still, my concern wasn't diminished.
"Don't look at me like that, I have just happened to be caught off guard, this won't happen again", she said with her optimistic nature.
My worry lessened seeing her smile, "ok, you better stay vigilant". I still warned her again.
Shea responded, "hai~", then Shea noticed a stone tablet behind me.
"Oh, look~ there is something written on the stone tablet~ Let's see", Shea wanting to be useful hurriedly went to the stone. This time she didn't touch the stone, she just read loudly so everyone could hear it.
"Did you freak out?~. You freaked out right?~ hehe. The one who got caught in an easy trap like this must be pretty stupid~ hehehe,".
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing what was written on the tablet Shea froze for a few seconds, not just Shea. I, Hajime and Yue were baffled as well.
Shea suddenly pulled out her weapon Drucken and started smashing the stone tablet into pieces. After the tablet was smashed Shea sighed in relief, but then everyone noticed that beneath where the tablet was situated there was something written in there.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"In anger, you broke the tablet~ didn't you~. Too bad for you. This tablet will repair itself after a while~ hehehe~".
Shea, unable to hold her anger anymore, Started smashing the ground like a berserker. "ANNOYING DESU! TAKE THIS AND THIS AND THISS!!".
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Seeing this Hajime said, "This great labyrinth is not going to be easy either, huh", he sighed.
"If this labyrinth were that easy then many would have completed it by now", I said Shrugging my shoulder.
"..."
After Shea's anger had lessened we then started exploring the labyrinth. Just by entering this labyrinth, we have noticed many differences from Orcus's labyrinth. If he was focused on battle, this one is focused on surprise attacks and traps.
"Umm… guys I think we have lost", I spoke out loud.
Shrugging Hajime said, "Isn't that obvious, this labyrinth is built like a maze, it's easy to get lost here".
Yue "Nn".
"I am sure whoever built this labyrinth is rotten to the core", Shea angrily huffed.
"We all know how you feel, but it's about time you calm down", I tried to calm Shea.
"Fine I will be calm, but it's only because you said so", Shea responded with a pout.
"Anyway, let's head that way and be careful of traps", at that moment I suddenly pressed down a tile on the floor.
"..."
Suddenly 4 sawzall blades came out from the wall right near our faces trying to rip it apart. For me, it was easy to avoid, same goes for Hajime and Yue. Shea had a little problem because of her long ears, but she still managed it.
"Shea are you ok", I asked with concern.
"I thought my ears were goners", Shea tremblingly said.
"Tsk this trap was a physical trap without any magic use", that's why we didn't sense it coming", Hajime grumbled.
"Also we can't use low-level magic here, it will be instantly dispelled. Only intermediate or higher spells are working barely", Yue shows us by casting a fireball spell.
"Still, spell-like enhancements are working fine though, might be because mana is not released from the body", I pointed out.
Yue nodded and continued, "It seems only a physical enhancement type spell can work here", to which everyone nodded along.
"It seems everything depends on you and me, Shea", I looked at Shea, who had a slightly stunned look on her face.
Shea snapped out of it and responded "I will do my best", she looked at us determinedly.
...
