Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

However, Nian Zhuo, who was walking at the back, looked at Asterius and Euryale walking ahead, and for some reason his vision became somewhat blurred.

Suddenly, the tall figure transformed into a girl with long, black hair that reached her waist, whom he had seen before.

"Alone, lonely." The berserker's words echoed in Nian Zhuo's heart for a long time.

"Miss Oma...." Wiping her eyes, the girl's figure vanished before Nianzhuo's eyes. "Was it an illusion...?"

Alone, I feel lonely.

Not to mention the Demon King, who has been all alone for over fifty years.

Are they all monsters misunderstood by the world and slandered by evil people?

Asterius,

A born monster is destined to be defeated by a born hero. Asterius was defeated by Theseus, the hero who infiltrated the labyrinth. Yes, though not inherently evil, his downfall was his fate, given his wicked deeds. Even though what he sought was not darkness but light, not the gloomy labyrinth but the lush, breezy forest.

And what about Miss Oma...?

A born queen is destined to be misunderstood by the world. She stopped the Time Administration's plot to destroy the world, but she was also slandered by the Time Administration and hated by the world for a long time.

"...Sigh." All the words he wanted to say were condensed into a soft sigh. Nian Zhuo touched his chest. "It's alright, because I'm here."

This time, neither Asterius nor Lady Oma will be alone.

Asterius, I will show you the view outside the labyrinth, and everything you desire.

And Miss Oma, I will walk with you forever...

Nianzhuo only thought this way, but he would still do it.

"Hmm~ Thanks~" Across several worlds, Miss Oma, lying on her bed, looked at the sky outside the window.

"The night sky will be beautiful tonight, Nianzhuo..."

Regulus XIV is shining with an unprecedented brilliance.

Lightning and Goddess

However, while Nianzhuo and the others were still in the labyrinth talking with Asterius and Euryale, somewhere on the sea, a ship was steadily moving forward.

"—I've been thinking about it." A soft female voice rang out from the deck. A short, silver-haired girl had a long scar on her cute face, but this only added a touch of danger to her cuteness.

However, the girl simply held the knife in her hand and coldly looked at the person in front of her. "Don't you think it's a disgrace that you're alive?" The black and white clothes looked like they were for an average-sized person, but the collar of the clothes covered the corners of the girl's mouth.

Unlike her appearance, the girl's words were as cold as ice.

"Really, Mary. How could you say that?" At the same time, standing next to her was a tall girl with a long musket slung over her shoulder. The girl's blonde hair was tied into twin ponytails that hung down on either side of her ears. Her red eyes looked at the silver-haired girl and she spoke as if she were sulking.

However, what is most striking is the enormous fullness of her chest, accentuated by the girl's bright red and gorgeous attire.

But—just as the blonde girl finished speaking, she changed her expression and spoke loudly again with a look of disgust.

"Because you see, earthworms, cockroaches, and even rats carrying the plague are all alive, right?" She smiled, but her words were as cold as the silver-haired girl's. "So, I can barely tolerate this Servant living in the world."

They were all looking in the same direction, at a man standing there.

His black hair and beard were tied in knots on his chin, and he wore a large blue pirate coat with white bone and gold tassel-like decorations hanging from his shoulders.

The middle finger of her right hand is adorned with a long, slender ornament, and the ruby ​​she wears on her chest sparkles.

However, at this moment, the man was hugging his own body, writhing like a maggot.

"Ugh, wow, oh dear~" A shy blush appeared on his face, which didn't match his weathered look at all. "This conversation is really toxic wwwww" He then laughed, clutching his stomach, while mocking the two girls.

"Hee hee hee w~" Blackbeard switched to a fanatical look in the next moment, looking at the blonde girl. "Anne always manages to be so gentle yet so cruel www. Even if I am pure and kind, after hearing these words, I would do something to you two on the very next day~ (Actually, I don't want to write this.) Of course, I'm just kidding." The last few words appeared in the man's mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

“Let’s just kill him, Annie.” A silver glint of killing intent flashed in the girl’s eyes as she gripped the scimitar. “That kind of guy shouldn’t even be alive.”

“No, no.” The girl called Annie gently tapped the silver-haired girl’s head. “From a distance, he’s just a harmful, disgusting, and foul-smelling guy, isn’t he?” Smiling, the blonde girl looked at the black-haired man and raised an eyebrow, saying something that didn’t sound like a compliment at all.

"Alright, Captain, hurry up and give the orders." Annie gripped the musket slung over her shoulder. "Otherwise, I'll twist it off, pop it, and blow your head, which's lighter than a balloon, off!"

"Oh dear, this is terrible. My apologies, my apologies ww" The smile and blush on his face remained unchanged, but the man walked to the ship's wheel. "Then please allow me to give the instructions carefully www" The smile did not fade in the slightest, and the man walked further and further away with his back to the two girls.

"..." The blonde girl couldn't help but press the trigger of the matchlock gun behind her back.

"Annie, if you get too angry, your blood vessels might burst." Mary never expected that she would be the one comforting her friend who was in a bad mood this time.

Gripping the rudder tightly, the man took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Next, switch to serious mode... Activate, say it!" His body convulsed, and an excited roar came out of the man's mouth, "Whoa ...

The man spread his arms and shouted loudly at the pirates busy on the deck, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"...And so, my fellow countrymen!" Pointing in one direction, the man was so excited he almost dropped the helm, "Let's seize the treasure goddess (muse) of the prpr fanatics, Euryale!" Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he raised his hands again, "Ah, while we're at it, let's also seize 'that' from bba's (old hag) hands!"

"Heh." The silver-haired girl looked at him and sneered, "'That' is the key point, you idiot."

However, he remained extremely fanatical, even leading his crew to chant Euryale's name.

“It’s hopeless. This guy’s head is only occupied with Euryale.” Mary tapped the scimitar at her waist and sighed helplessly. “There’s nothing we can do. We’ll just have to be more careful.” She then looked at her blonde companion beside her.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! That's great!" Over there, the man entertaining himself was still shouting loudly, "Eureka! I love you the most!" He looked like a fanatical fan following his idol.

"Alright!" The man then waved his hand and looked at his generals who were already standing behind him. "Mary Reid, Anne Bernie! Blood Axe King Eric! And—." The man shouted loudly into the cabin.

"Teacher, our teacher! Please come out and fight!" As he spoke, another man emerged from the cabin.

Brown hair and a brown beard left their mark on his chiseled face. The man wore a suit of light silver armor, with gold patterns embroidered on the green battle suit on his chest. The muscles on his shoulders silently proclaimed his presence.

And the gleaming, cross-shaped spear lying on the man's shoulder.

"Ah... how should I put it?" The middle-aged man looked at the man above him, chuckled, and scratched his cheek. "I haven't done anything worthy of being called a teacher, have I? As you can see, I'm just a good-for-nothing."

"Haha, you're joking!" The man waved his hand, indicating that it was impossible. "With you, a great hero of the Trojan War, assisting us, it's not just like adding a hundred men, it's like adding a hundred horses!" The man patted his stomach as he went. "Perfectly balanced breakfast! Great! Earned neglect!"

However, his behavior seemed to have become unbearable for the middle-aged man, who looked at the group behind him.

"...I'm asking you, is it really a good idea to have someone like this as captain? Hmm?"

"..." Annie shifted her gaze to the direction of the ocean.

"..." Mary acted as if she hadn't heard, kicking the deck lightly.

"Ahh~ Even a cold gaze can give me pleasure~" The man hugged his body again and writhed. "Alright, it's time to come out... Hehehehe!"

Not far from their line of sight, a huge ship was anchored on the sea, motionless.

That's Drake's ship, the Golden Deer.

Good luck on the college entrance exam! And good luck to everyone!

Finally, led by Euryale, everyone escaped Asterius's labyrinth.

"That's enough." After spotting Drake's Golden Deer in the distance, the purple-haired girl patted the berserker beneath her on the shoulder. "Release the barrier."

“I understand…” Asterius nodded, and crimson magic surged from his body.

Then, his eyes returned to the blackish-red color that Nianzhuo and the others had seen when they first met him.

"——!——!" Then, Asterius opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.

Without any warning, the berserker's sudden shout almost sent Drake and Mash flying. Although they weren't actually sent flying, they looked pretty close to falling to the ground.

—Thinking this way as Nian Zhuo promptly covered his ears.

"Seriously!" Drake patted the sand off his clothes and complained impatiently, "Give me a heads-up before you yell!"

"..." As if somewhat embarrassed, Asterius didn't say anything, but simply looked away.

The entrance to the enormous underground labyrinth behind them gradually transformed into illusory magical particles and vanished completely.

At the same time, a sound like shattering glass came from the sky above the entire island, but the sky remained as clear as ever.

However, Nianzhuo and the others could feel that the slight pressure that had been pressing down on them had disappeared.

“Good, the barrier has disappeared now.” Patting Asterius on the shoulder, Euryale reminded Mash Drake and the others, “Come on, let’s go.”

"Hmm." After leaving the maze, the berserker revealed a cheerful smile and carefully carried the girl on his shoulder forward.

The Golden Deer had escaped from its seal, and all the pirates couldn't help but scream as they watched the berserker leap onto its towering body.

"Wow! Wow! That's huge!?" The pirates patted the berserker's muscular physique and then stepped aside. "Not just huge, it's terrifying!?" As if unsure, the pirate pointed at the berserker and the purple-haired girl on his shoulder, asking Drake for confirmation. "Hey, boss!? Are you taking these two with you!?"

"What are you afraid of!" Drake stomped his foot on the deck, looking at them with a disappointed expression. "You guys are seasoned pirates, aren't you?!" He then gestured to Asterius and Euryale beside him. "So what if you're afraid? These two are my guests. Their names are..." Drake's voice suddenly trailed off as he looked awkwardly at his newly recruited companions. "What were their names again?"

"Please use your brain, okay? It's Euryale." Euryale tapped her forehead, feigning boredom, and patted the berserker beneath her. "And this is Asterius. Don't blame me for not warning you, we're on the same level as that guy named Nianzhuo and that girl named Mashu. If you dare lay a hand on us, we'll beat you to death!" The girl stared intently at the several highly aggressive gazes coming from the crowd, loudly warning the troublemakers.

"The smell of gunpowder is so strong... Ah." Mashu was helpless and could only watch as the girl spoke from the sidelines on the Berserker's shoulder.

"These things should be made clear from the beginning." As if she had heard this, the girl turned to look in Mashu's direction. "Otherwise, if something really goes wrong... well, it seems unlikely that anything will go wrong."

"Don't worry." Nian Zhuo waved to Asterius and Euryale on his shoulder to indicate that he understood. "Even if there really are shameless people like that, don't worry. I'll definitely be the first one to arrive!"

"Alright, even Fujimaru Ritsuka is on board!" Drake clapped his hands and stroked the ship's rudder as if caressing an old friend. "Then, let's set sail!"

"Okay, boss!" There was no fighting. The pirates quickly accepted the fact that there were two more people, went to their posts, and started working.

The Golden Deer's sails rose again, and its bow pierced the sea. Drake, meanwhile, simply gazed at the calm waters around him, somewhat lost in thought.

"Well~" I'm not a professional pirate after all, and I'll be running into that guy soon. Euryale patted her chest with lingering fear.

For him at that time, 50 seemed to have neither demonstrated nor changed anything; in the end, it was just fulfilling his own delusions.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Drake said cheerfully, hands on his hips. "The weather is fine, the water is calm. What a wonderful day!" Although he didn't know why he came to this conclusion, Drake ignored everyone's complaints and pulled out a brown bottle.

"Ugh, these are the moments that really trigger my craving for alcohol." With a helpless laugh, Drake pulled off the bottle cap and, without hesitation, raised his arm and poured the liquor into his mouth. "Wow, that feels so good!"

"...Weren't you just acting crazy while drunk?" Mash nodded helplessly as she watched Drake's lively antics.

“…Haha!” Drake only responded with a perfunctory smile, and muttered to 'me', “You’re right!”

However, the enemy on their side will not give them any time to breathe.

As soon as he came out, Nian Zhuo, who was standing on the deck, sensed the faint killing intent emanating from the Golden Deer.

"Boss!" The pirates rushed to Drake's side. "A pirate ship we've never seen before has been spotted on the right flank!"

"Alright! Let's take care of that guy!" Now that they could see the enemy, nothing could stop the pirates. Drake drew his flintlock pistol from his waist and gripped it tightly. "When that time comes, we'll have a victory celebration...!"

The pirates shouted loudly, filled with curiosity about the so-called victory celebration.

However, when Euryale heard the word "pirate ship," her expression turned extremely ugly.
