A control room was located on the lowest floor of the labyrinth.
The room, which could be called as the center of the labyrinth, was made to manage everything inside the labyrinth.
A big monitor was installed at the center of the room, showing the appearances of Zero and co in combat inside the labyrinth.
The inside of the control room had been remodeled with decorations that have no particular meaning and there were also devices and such that kept blinking.
「It started heh.」
「Yeah. Everything is going as planned――」
Ramiris nods to Benimaru’s mutters.
Ramiris is sitting on a luxurious chair which made exclusively for her personal use, taking a contemplative pose of putting her clasped hands in front of her chin.[1]
Benimaru stands on her right side, looking at the screen keenly.
Although the two people are conversing as if their atmosphere is serious……
「Don’t fool around, do your work!」
Shuna hits Benimaru’s head with a folded fan in her hand.
「Ouch! Hey, it’s hurts if it’s folded! Don’t you have any gentleness for your beloved older brother!?」
「There’s none. That kind of thing is unimportant, please do your job seriously!」
Shuna cut him down in single hit.
There’s another person who supporting Shuna with their words.
That person is Beretta.
「Why are you fooling around, Ramiris-sama…… If you don’t stop, I will report this to Rimuru-sama, you know?」
「Wai! You, what are you talking about! I’m being serious~!」
Ramiris panicking after hearing Beretta’s tsukkomi.
She stops doing her competitive behavior and starting to explain in panic.
「You too, Benimaru. It’s not time for playing around, a very serious crisis is approaching, be more conscious……」
Scolded by Souei, Benimaru meekly nods.
Although he and Ramiris are enjoying themselves with the atmosphere…… it seems to be taken negatively by the serious people.
(This is because these guys are not playful……)
(Hey. I only playing around a bit, I wish Rimuru wasn’t mad at me……)
Their gaze intersect, Benimaru and Ramiris are communicating their inner feelings.
However, they can read the mood and so they decided to stop playing anymore.
In fact, the situation is unsatisfactory.
The floors that have been invaded so far by the enemy are displayed on the big screen.
According to the display, the enemy is fighting the boss of the 50th floor currently.
With a terrifying speed, the enemy broke all of the past records.
In such critical situation, Benimaru and Ramiris still have time for their behavior.
Which isn’t surprising……
A little while ago, an order from Rimuru had reached Benimaru.
Rimuru conveyed the enemy’s predicted goal and the countermeasures.
