Emergeeency!

I, Seyi Falt, had come to a dungeon in Fotiatuyah in order to obtain soft stones.

Having gotten my hands on a rare item called Flight Stone and being all cheerful and excited, I had been conquering the dungeon at last for the sake of my final destination—getting soft stones, but…

“Hm!”

“Did something happen, report?”

“…Danger is closing in on the slave girls.”

I stopped in the labyrinth corridor and told that to the robo-maid Cherge.

This was… bad.

However, Cherge tilted her head in puzzlement at my words.

“How do you know danger is approaching?”

“…I’ll explain while flying. Keep up.”

I never thought it would be called into action this quickly.

Flight Stone.

By pouring mana into it, it generates a special force field.

Gently… my body floated up into the air.

If I messed up the mana adjustment, I felt like I might smash my head into the ceiling, but I managed somehow!

All right!

“Let’s go, robo-maid! The slave girls are in danger!”

I flew through the labyrinth at tremendous speed.

Behind me, the robo-maid flew after me with her legs transformed into jets.

“So then, how did you know?”

“Because the Emergency Potion activated.”

“Do you not think slapping ‘potion’ onto everything lets anything go, report?”

What was that even supposed to mean!

“As the name suggests, an Emergency Potion is a magic potion that, when its user senses danger, emits an alert sound and transmits their location. I made those girls drink it while they were asleep.”

“When Master put those girls to sleep and sent them outside, report?”

“Right. And that Emergency Potion is activating now.”

Damn it, they were pretty far away…!

More importantly, the monsters showing up on the way… were in the way!

Crash bam boom! I ran the monsters over and crushed them.

But I was unharmed.

This Flight Stone was generating a barrier-like force field around me, so even when I crashed into things, I came out unscathed.

“Who do you suppose the culprit is?”

“How should I know! Damn it! Who is it!? Trying to steal my precious girls from me! I’ll kill them!”

And then it happened.

I entered a room far wider than the others.

‘Kukuku… you have done well to come here, challenger…’

“Yeah, yeah, just passing throuuuugh!!!!!”

I tried to pass right by some kind of 【burning weirdo】.

But… yank! Someone grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and pulled me back.

“Ugh…! H-Hey, what!?”

Fwoosh…! A pillar of fire rose up right in front of me.

…If I had not been stopped, I would have been charred black by now.

“Thanks, Cherge.”

“You are welcome. Protecting Master is also one of my duties, report.”

The robo-maid had detected the attack and saved me.

Honestly, only at times like this did she not fool around.

“…So? Who are you?”

At this point, I did not particularly care that this thing had tried to kill me.

What I could not forgive was that, when I was in a huge hurry, it had stopped me in my tracks.

‘I am the Flame Demon…! The master of this labyrinth!’

“Ohh. And? Why exactly is the master of the labyrinth getting in my way?”

‘A foolish question. You are the challenger, and I am the champion.’

“Are you understanding what I’m saying? I have absolutely no intention of challenging you.”

I had not the slightest desire to break through the labyrinth.

In the first place, I had only come here to get soft stones.

And to be honest, even that was not very important right now.

Right now, all I cared about was the safety of the slave girls. Only that.

‘Such spirit, woman! Kuku… that only makes you more worth crushing! Nnngh!’

The flaming weirdo’s body began swelling bigger and bigger.

Its appearance—its whole body was that of a naked middle-aged man made of flame—was seriously unpleasant to look at.

‘Kuhahaha! Well then, challenger! First, for making it this fa—’

“Freeze Potion!”

I hurled a magical medicine capable of freezing even the sea.

It froze him instantly, but with a sizzle, the ice disappeared.

‘Kuhaha! Quite the spell! But against my flaming body, it is utterly—’

“Freeze Potion!”

‘K-kuhaha… i-it is not w—’

“Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!” “Freeze Potion!”

I hurled every last Freeze Potion that had been in Cherge’s storage.

‘W-wait, ju—’

“Don’t get in my way…! I’ll kill you!?”

“You are completely on the villain side, lol, report.”

As a result of hurling potions nonstop, the so-called Flame Demon ended up completely frozen.

All right! Done! Next!
