That time I failed as an Author and got reincarnated in Tensura

Chapter 63: Hero's prey/Labyrinth (1)

3rd Pov

The tournament having reached its conclusion, Dawn received a personalized sword made by Tempest's greatest blacksmith so Kaijin and Kurobe.

Though it was no use for him, he still took his prize and celebrated this short victory...the ceremony ended quickly and now place to Rimuru's next announcement.

It was just a few words about the new Labyrinth and how it will mainly work...he also added that in the great banquet later this evening, he will explain in further detail to the respective leader of each nation.

The final touch would be the opening ceremony for the labyrinth, which will happen in two days from now on...it was delayed because of the massive hype around the fighting tournament.

Ending the first week, the first day of the second week will be focused on a demonstration...Hinata along with a few members of the great saints were selected to raid the labyrinth.

Thus only then, the labyrinth will be opened for the public...it still needs adjustment but it's good enough to welcome thousands of adventurers...naturally, Rimuru and Ramiris planned a lot more through time.

That aside, Dawn left after the award ceremony ended...he went to give his respect to Luminous and some other people as an official matter.

But then, he left for his next schedule...guiding himself to the entrance gate of the colosseum, he altered his appearance with an illusion spell to avoid any commotion.

Once there, his eyes darted toward a woman he was way too familiar with.

Dawn : Did I make you wait ?

The young lady whose appearance ranged from twenty, was one of Dawn's closest friends and subjects.

Eleonor von Trinity, her name didn't really matter as at the moment, she was just a pretty lady which incarnated the perfect appearance of an elegant noble lady.
She was wearing a casual black loose shirt, long navy blue pants...her slightly curled brown hair with a small crescent moon shaped hairpin.

Eleonor : No, I came here a few minutes ago after you won.

Dawn : I see, those clothes look good on you.

Eleonor : I'm glad you like it, the girls and I took a lot of time thinking last night...

Her purple eyes radiated a light gleam, she was truly a beauty...perhaps not on the level of Luminous or Testarossa, but she held her ground.

Dawn : Speaking of girls, do you mind if we depart right away ?

Eleonor : Mmh ?

His eyes slightly edging to his right, Eleonor took a curious peek and started blushing when she realized the situation.

Behind one of the pillars, near a tree, one on the bench faking reading a press paper...it seems not only their companion from the genesis knight order.

But also Velzard, Luminous and other prominent figures were spying on them, they went as far as skipping Rimuru's announcement for that.

Dawn : Seems like our little date leaked, not like I was trying to hide it.

Eleonor : Ah...i don't think we will manage to lose them...

Dawn : Don't worry, have you forgotten who I was ?

Giving her a warm smile, Dawn offered his hand...the gesture startled Eleonor who ultimately took his hand.

The next instant, both of them vanished without any fluctuation...they were just gone as if they weren't here to start with.
