After leaving the A rank party, I aim for the deep part of the labyrinth with my former students

Volume 2

Chapter 36- The conflict between the dogmatic "Full Bound" and Yuke's 

(TL:By Rafael)

"Lun?"(Yuki)

　On the morning of the dungeon attack on the labyrinth, we received an unbelievable news.

　Lun had been taken away by "Full Bound."

　He had been staying at our cottage until the day before yesterday, but he had been taken care of at the Royal Academy's cottage for rest and relaxation because of the attack.

'I'm sorry, Mr. Yuki It is a matter of common knowledge among us that she is special, but I never thought they would take her for a solo act. ......! As for them, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take them off the court-appointed request mission."(Marquis)

　The Marquis de Bedivere, the chief executive of the site, utters an apology to me.

　Please don't give me an apology from a high-ranking aristocrat, because it makes my heart shrink.

"What's the matter?"(Lucent)

　Hearing the commotion, the members of "Skordia," who were preparing elsewhere, gather together.

The members of "Carmine" did the same.

　After explaining the situation, Lucent, thinking small, asks me, 

"What are you going to do, Mr. Yuki?"(Lucent)

"We will begin our labyrinthine dungeon attack as planned."(Yuki)

"Hey, Yuki! Are you going to  leave Lun behind!"(Marina)

　Marina shouted accusingly at my words.

　The other members of the group also turned their gazes toward us, although they did not raise their voices.

　I was a little short of time, too. I didn't say enough.

"That's not what I meant . In any case, we need to catch up with the "Full Bound" that is ahead of us. First of all, let's proceed as usual. They will also follow the planned route."(Yuki)

　Once we catch up with them, we can protect Lunn and condemn their actions.

　For that to happen, we first need to catch up with them safely and on schedule.

"I hope I'm not being reckless. ......"(Yuki)

"I see."(Marona)

　A small nod to Marona from "Carmine," who lowers her eyebrows.

　Although they have only known each other for a short time, "Full Bound" is a party of solid ability.

　Combat, exploration, and dexterity. All of them can be described as skillful.

　However, they are in a hurry to get the job done,......, and they're getting carried away.

　They are too obsessed with outperforming us A-ranked parties and achieving success.

　But here's where the lack of coordination got them into trouble.

"Let's hurry up, Yuki."(Marina)

"Yes, The destination is the same anyway. We'll attack on the same route as planned."(Yuki)

　We unfolded the map and hurriedly began our final meeting.

The target point is the King's Chamber.

　The point where the large magic spell was to be activated was the "King's Chamber"-the innermost part of Vordan Castle.

　If we can get there, there must be some way to solve the problem.

　But it will also be dangerous.

"The labyrinthine nature of the castle means that things may not always go according to the map. Each party should be very careful."(Moraih)

　Nodding to Moriah's words, Lucent opens his mouth.

"As you already know, our first priority is to reach Clover. We will escort them to the labyrinth singularity with 'Skordia' and 'Carmine. Honors and rewards will be split head to head. First, let's do our best to resolve the situation."(Lucent)

　This is another matter that was decided at the attackers' meeting, so I won't interrupt now.

　However, there is probably no doubt that this was the deciding factor in taking of Lun by  "full bound"  ...... 

　We "Clover" are a C rank party of strangers who received special treatment from their point of view.

　The fact that we were asked to support them, it's no wonder that they were upset.

　Perhaps they want to keep to themselves the treasures that have been arranged to give them an advantage over their rivals, or the credit of having solved an unprecedented crisis.

　In the extreme, it would be fine if "Full Bound" could solve this crisis, albeit on its own initiative.

　But taking Lun out of the picture is a quandary.

　It is true that she is related to "Glad Shi-Im," but at the same time, she is a vulnerable civilian who should be protected.

　If they were going to take her out, they should have asked us to escort her.

"Let the attack begin. We must not be hasty, and yet we must hurry."(Yuki)

"Don't lose your cool, Mr. Yuki"(Lucent)

I understand, Mr. Lucent. ...... Marquis de Bedivere, I am sorry, but we are going to change our goals regarding this attack. First of all, our first priority will be the protection and return of Lun,...... is that clear?"

"Of course. She is an important witness in this case. She must be safe."(Marquis)

　The marquis nods deeply at my words.

　

I think his reply is a perfect match of honesty and tactfulness.

　When I turned around, Marina and the others were standing there with relieved, yet motivated eyes.

"Sorry, Yuki I ......."(Marina)

"I'm sorry too. I didn't say enough and I was too calm. In fact, I'm pretty upset about it too. ......"(Yuki)

　As long as I'm supposed to be the leader of the "United Alliance," I can't outwardly lose my cool.

　Moreover, it is an A-ranked party with a long history of success that I am leading.

　If I waver at this point, my anxiety could affect the success rate of the attack.

"All right,Then, let's start the attack. Everyone, please."(Yuki)

"I'll take care of it. Carmine, let's go."(Marona)

"Skordia, get underway!"(Lucent)

　The seniors, who had already finished their preparations, touch my shoulders.

"You can do it."(Marona)

"After all, we're here to support you."(Lucent)

　What a reassuring support.

　Then, as a supporter and leader of the party, I must live up to this expectation.

"Clover, we are ready. Let's go, everyone!"(Yuki)

"Yeah!　Let's go get Lun-chan!"(Marina)

"We will find her."(Rain)

"I have the route in mind. Let's hurry."(Silk)

"I'll take care of the scouting!"(Nene)

　All four nodded enthusiastically.

　These girls are strong now.

"Gentlemen, I'm counting on you."(Marquis)

　Nodding to the Marquis de Bedivere who sent us off, we proceeded to the underground canal that serves as the entrance to "Glad Shi-Im".

TL Note- Ngl I predicted this a while back but didn't said anything as one reviewer on Nu said that they don't like my spoilers so I am not saying much these days, enjoy reading.
