SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER38

Thirty-Eighth Episode~ Magic Labyrinth Sabido Kentsiru

Translators Corner: Good chapter today! Enjoy~

Editors Corner: Well now that I am the editor and plan to stay, I am looking for a proofreader. The proofreader is needed to help with the fine cleaning of the translation and help find the mistakes that I have missed and other such things.

Justafter the transfer finishes there is a *bua* in my ear.

The change in atmospheric pressure makes it feel like my ears are full of air.

However, such a thingis overwhelmed bythe scene around me.

There is a great number of adventurers.

Humans wearing strong looking heavy armor.

A tiger beastman wearing black leather armor with a big sword strapped to his back.

The strong looking adventurers have gathered in the open space. They are welcoming the adventurers who are appearing from the transfer formation. There are groups that are working out strategies. Although there is fighting and quarreling happening, they are laughing as well. Scenes like this are all around.

The noise is loudso many people.

There are several merchant stalls too.

Wao, there are places to eat too

A photosphere of magic floats around the heads passing adventurers. This combined with the torches and lanterns it becomes a very bright space.

It lacks the feeling of a labyrinth and has the feeling of looking at some big surface market.

Rollo reacts to the smell of the food drifting from the stalls. Her nose is twitching as she sniffs and she reaches out a leg.

Moreover, there is a sound of the adventurers armor rubbing together and I look around the arearestlessly.

This place looks like a gathering and rest zone before entering the labyrinth.

There are some big statues resembling gods on the far-off wall.

The statues of the gods give off the feeling of watching the brave adventurers advance into the labyrinth.

There are a lot people praying to the statues and I remember that I saw something similar in the Vallaida Insect Shrine.

As I am looking around like a newbie Kuna talks.

Shuya, please let me guide you. And then

Like that, she approaches andjustlike a sweet heart is kissing me on the cheek, she brings her face to my ear.

She smells good. She wearing a special perfume?

She whispers like that in my ear. I know various things about this magic labyrinthso will leave it to me?

This sexy appearance, it is no joke, she carries the feeling of a woman.

Understood.

I answer shortly, and stare at Kuna who has a cute expression then I try to get a sense of the internal conditions.

Her words are confident, after all, as a B ranked adventurer she would know a lot about this labyrinth.

Nevertheless, her dimpled face is great and the beauty mark under her lips is seductive too.

Even if I try to understand my feelings and her face is cute. I end up thinking about other things but there is no helping it since I am a man.

To not respond to my gaze, Kuna extends the ring on her left hand.

The ringis madeof silver and itis shapedlike a level pyramid with lines forming triangles.

A light sphere like a soap bubble appears from the pyramids with a *nyuru*.

Wonderful.

Rollo reacts immediately by turning her red eyes to the light sphere thatsuddenlyappeared. Her pupils dilate, and she begins to stare at the glowing light spherequestioningly.

The floating light sphere seems to have caught her eye and she gets down from my shoulder to chase it.

Kuna moves the light spherefreelyand begins to play with Rollo.

On her fingerin additionto the silver pyramid ring that created the light sphere, there are several gaudy rings. There is also a bracelet and a chain wrapped around her wrist, jingling.

The rings and bracelet all contain mana.

I remember the ring Zoru had for a moment.

Fufu, are you interested in this? It is a magic tool that produces a sphere of light and it canbe usedwithout the light magic attribute, so its easy to use.

That ring is convenient.

Yeah, but lets go now so follow me. Kuna nods her head in satisfaction and starts to move to invite me.

We join the line of adventures going ahead and begin to walk down the cave passage.

However, in the middle of the passage wesuddenlyturn left.

Thinking we turned left, we then turn right and have now begun to advance along a small rocky path.

What kind of thing is this and why are we taking this snaking pathway? It is a different direction than the other adventurers are going.

We advance in a narrow space between rocks with no one else

It is difficult to see on the small path due to the darkness.

Kuna has the light sphere lead us andbrightlylight up the small path. There is no helping it so I continue to follow her.

Despite me showing her such a questioning face, she walksindifferentlyalong the small snaking path.

Sighing, I follow Kuna.

The rock is cold and there are places that cannotbe passedunless I side step.

I turn left and right through the small passages and proceed through.

We advance through the maze-like cave and soon I no longer feel the sign of adventurers behind us. It then becomes only Kuna and I passing through.

Coming out of the small rock passage we appear in a large cavern where bats seem to have settled down in.

Rocksare scatteredacross the ground and there is a sunken crevice in ground that stands out. Still, it is a large space.

Kuna does not pause and walks to the right, but she then looks back as she walks.

Beyond this point there is a passage.Were going this way because if we went left there is a metastasis formation prepared by the labyrinth.

Labyrinth?

Yeah. its a little-known place. It connects to an easy hunting ground and there are few adventurers that know about this.

A little-known spot. I see.

Are these what high ranked adventurers are like?

Maa, I would like to go if it is easy to hunt there.

However, it is too suspicious.

Is it a trap for newbie adventurers? For now, I should be careful.

Yet, Im still going to check it out even if it is a trap and I would like to explore the magic labyrinth first.

And, above all Kuna is a beautiful woman, I would like to trust her. (TL:I wonderif she has a dick.) [ED: No comment.]

Kuna?

Un?

Kuna looks at me with a smile.

The surface of her eyes glitter yellow.

-Mysterious eyes.

No, its nothing.

Strange~ this way.

Kuna leads the way and as she said before there is a magic formation carved into the ground.

A metastasis formation created by the labyrinth

Beyond this point, monsters appear is swarms so be careful.

My turn.

Then, should I enter first and be on guard?

No, I will go first.

Mymanlywordsareeasilyrejected.

Kuna smiles. It isnt necessary. There is such a feeling.

My vanity is sticking out.

Like that, Kuna lifts her staff then steps into the magic formation and disappears.

Now then, I should go too.

Rollo- I move my eyes to the black cat.

After we pass through the magic formation be wary of our surroundings.

Nya~

Nya cries as if to say Understood, Nya

Like that, I step into the metastasis magic formation.

Soon after transporting.Justlike the time I transferred from the guild there is a sensation of air clogging up my ears. I check my footing.

Oi, this is a bit different from the metastasis formation I stepped into?

The magic formation is a hexagram formation with a dark ominous color. And, there are huge lit candles set up at the six corners. (TL: Not the trap I was thinking, but stillreallytrapish.)

Rather than metastasis, this is more like a magi formation for a ritual.

Along the outer edge of the magic formation but excluding the candle a thin transparent black film is visible.

The film encloses the outer edge of the magic formation and extends to the ceiling.

This film,possibly, is it a trap?

Have Ibeen trapped?

With such impressions, I hear Kunas voice from inside.

Sabido-sama. I brought a good specimen.

It is Kuna and she is higher up on a stone staircase.

Kuna has sunk to the floor on one knee and is lowering her head to a throne.

My eyenaturallygo to the creature sitting there.

Uhe, it is a big type of person, butroughly a space creature. A boss-like character.

I confirm with magic observing eye.

Wow, magic essence is pouring out of the creature sitting on the throne like a raging river.

Kuna is too small compared to this guy.

Rugged dark red skin, a humanoid creature with six eyes.

Catapult like projections rise from his cheeks and shoulders, his muscles and frame swells, a great number of black like cut out and protrude from the middlelike gills, the lines are opening and closing.

Rough violet armor. This is Kunas boss.

It is different than what I expected, butI havebeen betrayed.

Kuna? What kind of thing is this?

I speak in a weaker than normal voice and try to exit the magic formation.

However, I am blocked by the thin black wall and cannot exit.

Nya!

Rollo tries to exit the black wall by jumping through it, but she hits the wall and bounces off.

Kuna stands up and turns cold eyes to us.

All too soon, Kuna casts off the dark blue robe.

Yet, there is still the stone return ball I bought from Kuna

Can I return if I use this?

Its regrettable, but can the stone ball of return notbe usedhere?

She talks as if reading my thoughts.

After all, the stone ball cantbe usedhere so things will not be that easy.

However,you. Baka, coming sowillingly after this, will you work so hard to be useful to Sabido?I thinkyou will become a good specimen and a splendid guinea pig.

Maa, I guess I will act like I havebeen deceived.

Specimen! Bullshit.

Its no use even if you act tough? As I said before you cant use the stone ball of return in my black prison crest magic. You can never exit unless I dismiss it. Puu,obedientlyfollow your instructions.

She has a cute face, but it looksdisgusting.

Oi, then I shoulddocilelyobey because I cannot get out.

However, this magic formation carved into the floor, itis calleddark magic.

I am a darkness attribute holder, so I may be able to interfere with it

However, I should not struggle in this place.

If I resist and cannot get out, then I willbe shutin.

I should obey your instructions?

Ara? Youre obedient

Then, the stiff-shouldered creature sitting on the throne speaks for the first time.

Kuna. This one looksmerelyhuman, but

This guy is the boss of the demonic being. A deep resounding voice.

The difference in the voice, the difference in the dignity ittotallyincompatible with what I felt from Kuna.

Sabido-sama.Itsurelylooks like a normal human, but I touched this one and the quality of the magic essence in his body was enormous. I didnt notice at first because he doesnt seem to leave magic essence for some reason.But,in additionthe human I broughtHe has an ancient magic tool ring equipped that Sabido-sama once gave to the Magician Zoru Gustave.’

When the man on the throne hears Kunas words,

Hou, a magician then. Its stupid tobe pleased bya second-hand magic tool, since he has itdid he kill him? N? Aah, its such a thing. The reason Mize the bone wings did not return

Sabido was leaning on the arm of the throne but as he talks he rises from the throne.

Despite his large build his heavy armor like skin, he stepslightly.

Because of hisabnormallyswelling shoulders he gives off a powerful aura several times that of an American football player.

His whole bodyis wrappedin a fleshy meat shell thatis reinforcedwith a dark purple exoskeleton that extends to his ankles.

The armor looks hard.

A black mantle bordered in purple shimmers behind him.

Sabido walks with a light pace and he stops in front of Kuna.

Kuna. You who has a superior observing eye skill did not notice at first glance? Maa, this is the human that killed Mize. It may be natural, but

Sabido talks while looking this way.

Fumu.With such enormous magic essence, it will be good food for the labyrinth Rivguraf-sama willcertainlybe pleasedas well. (TL: Rivguraf mentioned in chapter 10.)

Kuna speaks deferential to Sabido and her face blushes vermillion as she falls silent.

Then, Kunas formgraduallychanges.

Uhaaaa, she is changing.

Her clothesare tornto small pieces and her cute mouth stretches to the sides. She grows taller and her skin also takes on a purple hue. The change finishes with her skin split like scale armor.

It finished

A pointed tail grows from her lower back and for some reason, she is wearing red high-heals.

Her final figure is stinging.

After all, Kuna was a demonic being.

Having an impish beautiful woman transform into a fiendish witch with a heavy metallic heinous atmosphere.

Her dimples do conceal her various defects

When I stare at the figure of the completely changed Kuna she stares back at me and her mouth splits into a smile when she notices my gaze.

Thats right. My race isnt human. I am a Demonic Being Kushanan.

Demonic Being Kushanan. There are a lot of different demonic beings.

Is this woman the human Zoru got mixed up with in his diary?

At that time, Sabido begins to talk.

Kuna, that man is the only thing today?

Yes.

Is that so? Although it is a lot of mana, its unexpected of you. Well then, return to work.

-Hahau.

And then, Kuna. That man is one who killed a demonic being, Mize of the bone wings. Do not neglect caution.Justto be safe, you may even enter the prison.

Ha, understood.

Two of Sabidos six large eyes move *gyorori*, and glares at me. He turns on his heel and disappears behind the throne.

Kunas footstep resoundsteadilyas she shakes the hips of her scaly buttock and comes down from the stone staircase, approaching me.

Uhaa, her cute face (TL: DAMNIT SHUYA.)[ED: What an annoying horny child.]

She transformed so she has a monstrous mouth that contradicts her cutewomanlyfeeling

As Sabido-sama said, I will lead you. Fufu, Shuya-kun, youre looking at me sostrongly,perhaps, you fell in love with me?

That is not the case.

Maybeas a Human, but I do not know about after she transformed.

However,I thinkits unreasonablemy eyes, are special. Fufu. I caught you with these { Perplexing Star Magic Eyes}

Something is being misunderstood

Magic Eyes?

I thinkthey do not work on me

They might be the reason why Kunas eyes changed to look like demonic eyes before.

It seems that her magic eyes shine yellow.

I mightas well appear charmed.

Thats right. So, I will not return to the surface?

Ahaha, tooo baaaad, its impossible.Well, please put the luggage n your back down as well as your weapon and include the stone ball of return you received. And then, cross both hands behind your back, turn around, and restrict both legs of the black cat too.

Kuna smileshappilyas she talks and activates the crest magic.

Oh, mana is collecting on her finger tip. LookingcloselyI study it.

There is such a sign too

Hora, dont look here, turn around.

Iquietlyobey Kunas instructions.

I cross both hands behind my back and turn around.

Then, something istightlyfitting around both of my wrists.

Rollois restrictedto, and a small dark hued restrain is stuck to her legs so she falls to the floor.

It is dark magic. I may be able to remove it with force

With this, it is good.Justgo down the right passage.

Kuna releases the magic from the magic formation on the floor.

The dark membrane disappears with a *suu.*

Ah, the sword on your lower back is a problem-

Kuna pulls the kukri sword I got from Shisho from my lower back.

She throws it far away. It fliesforcefully.

What will you do to Rollo?

Ill carry her.

Nyaaa

Rollo opens her mouth in a threatening manner and goes to extend a feeler.

Rollo. Stop.

Nya?

Rollo raises a questioning sound, but she obeys my command and falls quiet.

Fufu, good quite cat. Saa, good, human man! Go.

Kuna takes Rollo by the scruff, and yelling out the last word, she kicks- hitting me in the lower back.

Itee, I say so several times.

This woman with the gaping mouth, Kuna is a demonic being. She kicks me many times.

The feeling ofbeing kickedwith the bottom of the heel.

Is she a queen? Am I an M?

Patienceis calledthe treasure of life; my identity is falling apart.

This person, if I get free later I will kill her though I am starting to let out a little blood lust, I endure it and am made to walk through the labyrinth.

Since I am not blind folded I am able tofreelylook about the magic labyrinth.

We go down the stairs to the right of the throne and then head right.

I will remember the path now.

A white gas smelling of gold gushes out of irregular slits from the walls on both sides.Liquid runs through the grooves on the passage shining with a dazzling phosphorescent like.

Subordinate monsters of Sabido are swarming through the eerie passage.

-These are demonic beings.

I discover strange monsters amongst them.

There is a strange monster with countless arms and heads gather together in one lump of flesh.

With the head growing from the palms, the face wriggle like they are alive. Then it moves with a rustling sound and the hands beneath the necks crawl across the ground.

Is this a horror film?

The next demonic being is the one Kuna choseproperly.

It is holding claw like blades in both hands. If I am not mistaken, its name a Hoguts, it is C ranked.

The back of its head is long and sharp.

It is like a youkai

Its head with its long back has a beast face like a tiger and a fox.

There are three layers of iron helmets to protect the back of its head, the iron helmets hang down its back.

It is soldier like equipment. Their individual body heights seem different.

Generally, they are around two meters, their bodies are also equipped with iron half mail.

I see the long red tail on the lower part of its body thatis usedas subjugation evidence.

As Kuna and I pass, the Hoguts bow their heads in greeting to Kuna, and we move to a corner of the passage.

They seem to have some level of intelligence.

Other monsters show no reaction to Kuna and climb along the walls to lick the liquid from the wall, behavingstrangely.

There is also a monster made ofmultiplesnakes.

Several snakes eyes look at me like I am food.

As we pass through passages with such monsters a strong sour odor rises.

Here!

I stop when Kuna shouts.

It stinks. A prison.

In front of such a bad smelling prison, a monster-like gatekeeper stands.

Moreover, it is the monster of the request.

This strong fellowis calleda Godo. It is a B rank.

Its body is around three to five meters. Huge with four arms.

Its only weapon is a long metal rod.

It has two rectangular heads.

Neverthelessit is too strange.

Its eyes are also long thin diamonds; I cannot image how it sees the world.

The mouth isuniquelycrafted too.

Between its two long heads is has a wide vertical mouth tearing its chest open down the middle.

The mouth contains sharp shark-like teeth and a long green tongue grows out of it between the two heads.

Guna-samaa, are you here on business, dzugaa?

Thats right. This prison- it is foul as usual. Youre in the way, so get out of the room.

Kuna waves her hand back an forth in a scolding manner, tell it to leave.

The Godocalmlybows its two heads to Kuna.

With heavy footsteps, it leaves the prison room.

Justright.

I am going to kill this wide mouthed Kuna woman, but I would hate to fight such a large enemy like a Godo at the same time.

While chuckling, I walk along to prison passage.

When I turn right on the passage there aremultipleyoung children rooms.

When I approach the room the smell doubles.

My smilesuddenlydisappears at such a room and I grimace.

I look at the big jail room in the center.

There seems to be a pool where fluorescent water is stagnating.

N? A wave?

Somehow, it seems like that pool, there seems to be someone-ite!

Hore, ero Shuya, this way! Goquickly!

-I am kicked again.

Almost, Inearlylose my temper, but, ma, I am ero. [ED: I am losing faith in this novel and author.]

Afterbeing kickedover and over, I show a *mu* face for a moment, and look back.

What is it? With such an angry face, do you want tobe kickedmore?

Uhaa, she must be an S and her lipsare splitopendangerously.

Because her mouthis splitopen to near her eyes, whenever she talks a crumpling soundis made.

Making a *kuchya-kuchya* sound like an oji-san, then becoming like a crying auntie.

Without saying things that would only aggravate Kuna, I take an interest in her strange mouthI endure the desire to laugh.

I turn back around and immediately walk to the prison.

The prison roomdark, dirty, smells bad, three important requisites.

The winkles on my foreheadunintentionallyincrease.

Filthy black water stagnates in a ditch on the floor, stimulating the disgusting smell.

Hora, dont look around, get it.

I am kicked in the back again, and enter the dark prison as I am prompted.

The black catis thrown bythe scruff of her neck.

Shyaaa.

The Rollo that hits the floor is angry

Later, I will let her huntfreely.

Impertinent cat, howling.

While Kuna says that, she touches a round decoration on the bracelet of her right arm and mutters open.

It seemsdid her left hand disappear for a moment?

No, a light green windowis created bythe circular decoration.

She touched the window with a finger like selecting a menu. That moment, a ring of keysslowlyappears from the window. Kuna smiles and pics up the ring of keys.

What? That bracelet

Oi, are you curious? Fufu, staring soearnestly, its cute. This articleis relatedto such ancient legends. Would you like to know?

I nod, ahuh.

Being obedient is good. I will tell youspecially.This braceletI bought it in the underground auction held in Pernette at the end of last year and I spent my entire fortune to get this. Back then Iwas toldit was an item made by the labyrinth city, but the specifics are unclear. Per appraisal, it seems to be gem thatwas madeso long ago in the ancient days when the Empire of Dawn prospered. Itwas explainedas one of the great treasure artifacts.

Hoo, underground auctionancient treasure.

Even though I thought the explanation was a lie, when I looked at this gem, my entire body got goose bumps. Ancient romance? The sensation of not being able to comprehend something? Ive already gotten wet! So, I bought it without being able to endure it. Even still, thanks to it several hundred white gold coins disappearedso even if I have this, I am now poor.Therefore, I try to work hard like this, so that I can save up money again.

He~is that so. Ma, it is an ordinary story.

Such a thingin the form of a bracelet, it doesnt look like an ordinary bracelet.

Kuna seems to have a passion for ancient items. The shining in her eyes is different.

I nod to her words many times

Oh well. I selfishly name it the solar bracelet, it seems to be an ordinary item box storageUnlike other item boxes discovered in the labyrinth city, this bracelet is something that can onlybe used bya person with the space-time attribute. Also, even I dont understand everything about this bracelet? It cantbe helpedsince I cant read the characters. If I push a symbol than a strange character appears, yet I dont understand it. Although I learned the method for inserting and removing the items. Its mysterious, using it this way

It is an Item Box.

Ooooh, such a thing. Lets steal it. I have decided.

Ngaaaaaa, someone came?

While I am staring at Kunas bracelet a stern voice resounds from a different prison cell.
