"Rosaria's Adventure Party!"
It was always the same thing she had imagined.
Herself, her elemental salamander, the dog, and the teddy bear Lucy. Then, the labyrinth brightly lit up.
"That's right, think of that and... huh?"
Orpheus stopped explaining in confusion.
The brightening of the labyrinth was not the end.
The teddy bear Lucy in Rosaria's arms began to swell.
It wasn't just Lucy that was affected.
-Meow?
The dog, which was a salamander, soared into the air and swelled like Lucy.
An astonishing thing happened.
The teddy bear Lucy became a knight with a steel helmet, armor, a sword, and a shield.
And the fire salamander, the dog, grew bigger than Lucy and transformed into a majestic figure.
It was similar to a dragon but not a dragon.
Its body length was about 3 meters, but its height was similar to Rosaria's.
It was the invincible knight and the invincible flame dragon that Rosaria had thought of.
"Did you really change?"
-Meow.
Despite its threatening appearance, the dog was still fundamentally the same.
The teddy bear Lucy bowed like a knight, showing respect.
In the meantime, Rosaria noticed that she had also changed.
She wore a shabby robe, a high hat, and held a twisted staff.
"Why are you dressed in such shabby clothes?"
"Great wizards always hide their appearance! That's why their clothes are worn out!"
Rosaria touched her high hat and showed off.
Orpheus wondered if something strange had happened to his appearance, but there was no change like the dog and Lucy.
It meant that she was still thinking of herself as a water elemental.
"Rosaria's Adventure Party..."
The appearance of the adventure party she had dreamed of was revealed.
"Adventure Party!"
Rosaria raised both hands with a flash.
At the same time, the inside became even brighter.
'Just by forming this kind of adventure party, did it become this bright?'
If the brightness of the light represents fear, she seemed to have no fear at all.
It meant that she really believed she was invincible.
'Do human children have no fear like this?'
Or is it possible because of their purity?
Rosaria moved.
"Rosaria's Adventure Party! Let's move to find the treasure in the labyrinth!"
-Meow!
The teddy bear Lucy held a sword and shield, standing in front, and Rosaria climbed onto the back of the dog.
Orpheus joined this strange party and traveled with them.
The path through the labyrinth was unknown.
However, they moved forward, forgetting even such fears.
'It doesn't seem to be going smoothly.'
If it's a labyrinth, there will undoubtedly be monsters, and traps will be set.
As they entered an alleyway, Lucy raised her shield and lowered her body.
A monster appeared.
It was a horde of slimes.
The green semi-liquid slimes filled the pathway.
If there was something different from regular slimes, it was that they looked a bit cuter.
"Evil creatures blocking our way have appeared. Let's fight!"
Rosaria raised her staff, and Lucy, standing in front, attacked with her shield.
Boing! Boing!
With the sound of elastic objects bouncing, the slime horde attacked Lucy.
She swung her sword brilliantly to cut the slimes, but it was not enough to fend them all off.
"What we need here is..."
Rosaria looked down at the dog.
"Doggie, burn them all!"
-Meow!
The cheeks of the drake dog swelled up.
The dog, full of red light, spat out fire.
Kwaaaa!
The powerful breath filled the corridor and spread out.
The horde of slimes instantly evaporated, leaving only scorch marks on the long corridor.
Lucy also removed all the slimes stuck to her body and stood up again.
"Indeed, the invincible flame dragon and the invincible knight! An overwhelming victory!"
-Meow! Meow!
Rosaria raised her hands to the sky, celebrating her victory, and the dog and Lucy joined in the celebration.
At the same time, the inside of the dungeon became even brighter.
Orpheus watched the situation and clicked her tongue.
'That's a truly terrifying talent.'
It's hard to hold onto hope, but that hope transformed the people around her.
Not only that, but as the adventure began, courage and joy grew.
"Huh? Lucy got hurt?"
She belatedly noticed Lucy's condition, excited by the celebration.
The teddy bear knight, Lucy, lowered her head.
Although she said that, cotton dripped from her arm.
"Rosaria will fix you."
Rosaria swung her staff.
She imitated the actions of the wizards in the tower and chanted freely.
"Heal!"
The corroded pieces of fabric on Lucy returned to their original state, and the sewn areas tightened firmly.
Finally, the cotton inside swelled up, and she was back to normal.
Although it was a clumsy imitation, the magic worked properly.
Lucy lowered her head as if she was embarrassed.
"Let's march on, Rosaria's Adventure Party!"
The adventure party moved forward with confidence!
The labyrinth Rosaria had feared became a series of unstoppable victories for Rosaria's Adventure Party.
Lucy, in the vanguard, was like an iron wall, and the flame dragon, the dog, spewed fire from behind.
'This is going too smoothly.'
At first, she thought she had to do everything alone.
However, when the time came, Orpheus did nothing, and everything worked out on its own, contrary to her thoughts.
'Can I only guide the way?'
She marked the entire path with fragments of her body to ensure that there would be no disaster of returning the way they came.
She diligently did her job so that there would be no wandering even if they had to return.
Rosaria's party moved forward boldly, and they were finally able to reach the center of the labyrinth.
