The sleep that followed the battle fought to the limit was blissful.
 
In the depths of unconsciousness, the myriad fears, worries, and anxieties that had been swirling in his mind while awake melted away before taking form.

” ────! “
 
From when Ur was slammed into the wall, Shizuku’s judgment and actions could be summed up in one word: swift.
 
“[GAYHAHAHAHAHA, GA!?]”
 
She crushed the annoying insect, the gem Golem laughing triumphantly, and swiftly struck it with the “Magic Sealing Ball” she had purchased. Startled by the explosion, dust, and explosive flames, the Golem staggered back.
 
“[GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!]”
 
Swinging the remaining left arm as if to brush away, it had just lost one arm.… Read more

Using the funds to upgrade their equipment. If they couldn’t outsmart with information, they’d outclass with gear. Shizuku’s decision was sound, if not perfect. Ur agreed.
 
“No, that’s not it.”
 
“…Huh?”
 
But this was just the beginning of what she had to say.
 
“I’ve spread this information to almost all the adventurers who wanted to participate in the hunting festival.”
 
Shizuku had started saying something quite outrageous.
 


 
“What… the hell!?”… Read more

The plaza in front of the Sin Labyrinth was the festival’s epicenter, bustling with activity. It was so lively that the Labyrinth’s ominous aura was barely noticeable.
 
Spectators gathered to watch the adventurers embark on their life-or-death missions, bets were being placed, vendors were doing brisk business, and some were drinking in the excitement.
 
However, the energy of the audience, vibrant as it was, paled in comparison to the madness-like fervor of the adventurers gathered at the center.… Read more

Ur had picked a fight with three older boys, fully aware of the consequences.
 
Naturally, he lost the fight. The elder had to intervene before Ur got seriously hurt. The boys who took Ur and Akane’s food were now in the confessional, reflecting on their actions.
 
But the fight hadn’t been one-sided.
 
“And you hit them with a rock?”
 
“Yes.”
 
The boys who had attacked Ur were also injured. All three had head wounds, bleeding from being hit with a stone.… Read more

“…That’s all.”
 
Shizuku’s explanation wasn’t particularly long. Once spoken, it was straightforward and clear. Therefore,
 
“….”
 
Ur was speechless.
 
“…Shizuku.”
 
“Yes?”
 
“Isn’t this dangerous?”
 
“Yes.”
 
Ur understood Shizuku’s intention. He now understood why she had leaked information to adventurers other than themselves.
 
He realized how risky Shizuku’s actions had been.
