“… …Dane, did you join in too?”
“I can’t say no.”
In fact, Dane didn’t know that Shailene would run away with Deborah.
But even if I had known, I wouldn’t have stopped you. Rather, I would have helped you like I did now.
‘I have to fill the void as a brother like this.’
Dane, whose eyes flashed for a moment, slammed the door shut and inserted his scabbard between the doorknobs.
Benjamin watched his son do it with a puzzled face.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m sorry, Father. I need you to stay still until my brothers return.”
“Little brothers? What is that… … .”
Benjamin looked dumbfounded at the remark that seemed to include Shailene.
I clearly told you to be careful and watchful.
But Dane, whose mind was already set, was resolute.
“I’ve personally experienced it myself, and I think Shailene isn’t such a bad person. Dad, please look at her with an open mind.”
“you…….”
“Please wait here until those two return.”
Benjamin, who was suddenly locked in his daughter’s room by his son, was speechless.
Regardless, Dane stood firmly blocking the door.
Even though there were cries from outside looking for Duke Diat, he didn’t move.
That side is kidnapping, this side is confinement.
It was a fantastic combo.

The test time is ten o’clock in the morning.
We arrived at the rooftop just in time. Although we were five minutes late, we were not disqualified from taking the exam.
“Are you here?”
Matapju, who had been waiting for us with his luggage on his back, greeted us.
His hair glowed golden in the morning sunlight, a contrast to its more ash-colored appearance indoors.
“Hello, Lord Matap.”
“… … Hello. This is Deborah DeArt.”
Deborah lowered her head with a nervous expression.
Is it because of the rooftop pool or the exam that is just around the corner?
Her small body was shaking like crazy, as if in vibration mode.
“This is Chester, the Lord of the Towers. Come this way.”
He took us to the basement of the tower, where there was a huge maze.
The wizard who had been standing behind the magic tower came forward and began to explain.
“You have two hours to escape this maze. However, since it has already opened at ten o’clock, the later you are, the less time you will have.”
Oh, that’s fatal. But it was true that it was late, so there was nothing to say.
“Be careful, there are all kinds of magic tricks inside the maze. Well, we don’t have much time, so let’s get started right away.”
“Now, just a moment!”
Deborah raised her hand. Everyone’s eyes were on her.
Why is that?
I became worried when I saw her slightly pale complexion.
“What is the problem, Your Majesty?”
“That, that… … . Do I really have to go into the maze alone?”
Deborah asked cautiously, hesitating. I felt a hand gently grab my sleeve.
“I have a bit of a fear of darkness… … .”
As she said that, Deborah looked up at me with a sorrowful face.
Are you asking me to go with you?
I glanced at the magician and the tower master.
The languid-looking Matopju was thinking about something, and the wizard was frowning slightly.
‘What should I do with this… … .’
Deborah’s hand gripped my sleeve with strength.
In fact, the maze wasn’t just dark, it was eerie, as if it was shrouded in black fog.
It looked like this on the outside, but it was even worse on the inside.
Yeah, since you decided to play the role of older sister!
‘I have to see it through to the end.’
He took Deborah’s hand and politely asked the matapju.
“I can’t handle magic. I don’t have any magical powers, so I won’t be able to influence the test at all. So, can I come with you?”
“That’s difficult.”
The wizard next to the magic tower flatly refused.
Still, he looked at the rooftop with longing eyes, hoping for some hope.
He flinched at this and rubbed the back of his neck as if embarrassed, then suddenly opened his mouth with a face full of thoughts.
“A few years ago, we had a non-powered assistant accompany a candidate who had difficulty walking during the test.”
“If there is such a precedent, can I go with Deborah?”
Even though it may not be physical, Deborah also has mental discomfort.
Matapju nodded and said.
“It’s just a test to gauge your skills, so there won’t be any major internal risks.”
“What a relief.”
After the magician’s permission was granted, the wizard could not say anything more.
The magician who opened the maze door stepped aside as if to invite us in.
He approached the entrance, patting Deborah’s stiff hand.
The moment I was about to step into the maze, the magic tower stopped me.
“Wait a minute, I can’t take you. You two, please go in alone.”
The sword that followed us.
“Why can’t I?”

The sword made an impression. Matapju raised his hand and lightly touched his shoulder.
“Don’t you have the power to influence the exam?”
“… … It is my duty to protect my master anytime, anywhere.”
“But that won’t do. Even Charophée Youngae has been very lenient.”
The two men faced each other tensely.
“Carl, you stay here.”
He intervened as if to stop the sword from being used against the top of the tower.
Honestly, if it was the sword’s ability to defeat a monster in one breath, it could have had enough of an effect on the test.
“See you later.”
I waved my hand and entered the maze with Deborah.
Through the slowly closing door, Carl stood there, looking at us. His face was full of complaints.
Sorry, servant.
Master, I’ll be back soon!
The interior of the maze, surrounded by high walls, was dark and gloomy.
Caw. The sound of a crow croaking echoed from somewhere.
Although it was clearly a closed area, a cool breeze blew and brushed my face.
“Ah, I’m scared… … .”
Deborah shrugged her shoulders and looked around anxiously.
I couldn’t take a step as if I was nailed near the entrance.
“Deborah, are you okay?”
“no…….”
It was a voice that trembled so thinly that it was pitiful. Her small body was trembling as well.
Well, this won’t work.
I grabbed Deborah’s face and turned her towards me to meet my gaze.
“Listen, Deborah. You are not alone now. I am here with you.”
As I spoke softly on purpose, his shaking eyes gradually calmed down.
“So don’t be afraid and show off your skills just like you’ve been training hard for. Can you do it?”
“……huh.”
Deborah took a deep breath, her face finally gathering courage.
He held my arm tightly and slowly took one step at a time.
At first, the maze only gave off an eerie atmosphere like a haunted house and had nothing special about it, but at some point, all kinds of traps started to activate.
“What, what, what?!”
“Deborah, calm down! Don’t be scared and just calmly solve it!”
Deborah, who had been flustered and flustered, gradually became accustomed to the situation. She, who had been clinging to me until just a moment ago, now held my hand tightly.
“Just in case, walk right next to me. Be careful, there’s a hole ahead.”
“huh.”
“That’s welcome, so just ignore it.”
Deborah explained before we could even be startled by the sudden appearance of the monster.
Now, I thought as I followed behind her, who was taking the lead.
‘He’s not just a kid, is he?’
Deborah looked dignified as she calmly used magic to get through the traps.
The serious expression on her face, which still had some baby fat, surprisingly went well with her.
As I was walking through the maze silently following Deborah, I suddenly asked.
“Deborah, what was your first impression of me?”
“Why do you ask that?”
“Because I was curious.”
“… … I won’t tell you.”
I was bored so I threw it out, but Deborah stubbornly kept her mouth shut, so I got really curious.
What on earth did you think when you first saw me?
“From the moment I first saw you, I thought you were like a puppy. But your personality was the opposite, like a prickly cat.”
“Are you saying that he was not as tough as he looked?”
Oh, how did you know?
Deborah looked dumbfounded as I coughed in vain and tried to avoid the question.
“Can’t you tell me too?”
“After listening to you, I don’t want to talk any more. I don’t want to.”
“Why, I’m curious. Tell me.”
“No, I won’t tell you even if I die.”
At that moment, a huge, pitch-black shape appeared beyond Deborah, who was answering firmly.
I was startled and grabbed Deborah.
“behind!”
“… … ?!”
Deborah, who was suddenly dragged in, checked behind her. There was a lump of dirt standing there that looked vaguely like a person.
“What is that? A monster? A vision?”
“Neither. That’s a golem.”
Deborah attacked the golem with her magic as she had always done.
But the Golem was on a whole other level than the playful traps that came before.
Even though we were attacking, it came at us without causing any damage.
Deborah, who was attacking the golem with all her might, let out a panicked voice.
“What the heck! Why is this happening?!”
“Why, what’s going on?”
“Every time I attack the golem, my magic power is being sucked away!”
Somehow, it seemed like the scale of the attacks was gradually decreasing.
At times like this, you have to stay calm, but Deborah is still young.
He was now eighteen, just becoming an adult.
It means that when things didn’t go as I had hoped, I lost my composure and started using magic indiscriminately.
