The Entrance to the Deadly Sins Labyrinth of Greed: Plaza of Desires
 

 
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

Chapter Six: The Hunting Festival
 

 
Day 25 of Training
 

 
On a bright, sunny day, the Great Sin City-State of Greed was bustling with activity. The streets were more crowded than usual, the number of stalls had increased, and money was changing hands at a rapid pace.
 
The reason for all this excitement was clear: today was the day of the Hunting Festival.
 
The target of the hunt, the Gem Golem, was not a notorious monster.… 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.
 
And yet, what was clear to him was—
 
“We will slay the gem golem.… Read more

 
Day 22 of training.
 

 
During the period leading up to the Subjugation Festival, hunting Gem golems is prohibited.
 
This rule sometimes drew complaints from adventurers: “Why can’t we subdue the enemies of humanity, the evil monsters?” But the guild ultimately suppressed these complaints.
 
Competition is a great opportunity to measure abilities.
 
Losing that opportunity was a loss for the Adventurers Guild as well.
 
The nation and the guild cooperated to ensure the festival proceeded smoothly.… Read more

Chapter 5: I and Virtue

The Sun God sets.
 
At night, spirits take over as stars, illuminating the darkness with their faint light.
 
Their glow is weak, unable to pierce the terrifying night. People light magic stones taken from monsters to dispel the darkness, praying for the Sun God to rest and rise again as they fall asleep.
 
“Hey! Run faster! Get that magic power settled in your body!”
 
Even in the night, the training ground echoed with shouts.… Read more

[ooooooo…]
 
A large golem stood in front of the pedestal, ready to fire a heat ray.
 
“Scatter!”
 
Ur shouted, and they jumped to the sides. A heat ray scorched the spot where they had stood, filling the air with a burning smell.
 
“Is it firing a second shot?!”
 
The golem’s rapid charging and the intensity of the light and sound indicated a stronger attack was coming.
 
“Shizuku! How many spells can you cast?”… Read more

Despite Magica’s sloppy attire, the inside of her house was surprisingly tidy. Numerous documents and magical devices were neatly organized, and variously sized puppets were moving about, working calmly.
 
“There are so many puppets, aren’t there?”
 
“Seeing puppets in the city instead of a Labyrinth feels really weird.”
 
Ur, a bit nervous, remarked, making Magica turn around.
 
“It’s the other way around. Labyrinth puppets are imitations of human-made ones.”
 
“Is that so?”
 
According to her, the origin of puppets was not the Labyrinth, but humans trying to create monsters that moved according to their will.… Read more

 
Then, one of the trio of blacksmiths planning to smash the customer’s Dragon Fang Spear spoke up. He seemed to be the leader, a miner.
 
“We are the Golden Hammer! Our belief lies in how much gold we can squeeze from our customers!”
 
“The worst shop.”
 
It was truly the worst introduction. I seriously thought about leaving. But when Ur’s reaction made them say “outrageous!” to the trio, the dwarf among them growled.
 
“You idiots! We’re not going to rip people off like that!”… Read more

 
After a scandal where the top brass was arrested by the knights, they would never have managed to rebuild on their own. There was no flattery in saying she saved them.
 
That’s why he wanted to help her, but──
 
《Hey, old man, good job.》
 
“Stop calling me old man.”
 
《Wanna play?》
 
“Please, later.”
 
──He never imagined that helping her would mean babysitting a mysterious little girl who floated in the air like a scarlet fairy.… Read more
