Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Leos said in a somewhat excited tone:

"After exploring the maze for so long, I have never seen a live gryphon. I'm so looking forward to it...!"

"What a ghost to look forward to!"

Chilchak rolled his eyes at him angrily, noticed Sensi's unusual reaction, and asked:

"Sensi, what's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Senxi's tone was hesitant and his eyes were a little wandering as he said:

"I hate griffins, can we take a detour?"

This was the first time Sensi made his demands clear, but everyone looked at each other in confusion. Chirchak said a little strangely:

"Have you ever seen a gryphon before?"

"this……"

Sensi was vague about this, hesitating and speechless, while Laos on the side muttered:

"And they say we need to take a detour, but we don't even know where the gryphon is. There's no other way but to move forward cautiously, right?"

As he said that, he picked up the feathers on the ground and gave them to Itsuzumi, hoping that she could locate the opponent through the smell of the feathers. Itsuzumi took the feathers, sniffed them, and said in disgust:

"It smells like an animal."

At the same time, she shook her head. The temperature here was very low and there was no wind at all, so she couldn't smell anything.

But just when Laos showed a regretful expression, suddenly, her ears twitched, then her face suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly:

"Be careful up there!"

The moment the voice fell, a huge creature appeared from the dark shadows above their heads and swooped towards the crowd at extremely fast speeds. Fortunately, Itsuzumi warned in time, giving everyone time to react and dodge in a dangerous and dangerous manner.

"boom--!"

The opponent missed the target, and the attack hit the ground hard, causing snowflakes to fly. At the same time, everyone finally saw the attacker's figure clearly——

The upper body is an eagle, the lower body is a lion, and it has a pair of huge wings. It is exactly the same as the description in the text. Leo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise:

"It's really a gryphon, okay-!"

However, before Laos's voice of praise fell, the shadow flashed, and the griffon's head instantly turned into a ball of blood mist with a 'bang'.

Under the dull gaze of the other party, Fujimaru Ritsuka took back the thrown stick and said with a relaxed expression:

"Done."

Although it is also a gryphon, compared to the gryphon that tested Kasukabe Yō in the world of Hakoba, this gryphon is obviously much weaker now.

"As expected of a senior!"

Matthew was cheering beside him as always, but at this time, Chirchak couldn't help but complain:

"This fighting style...is more like a pitcher than a warrior, right?"

"Forehead,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile froze, and she scratched her cheek guiltily, her eyes wandering as she said:

"This is what a warrior is like..."

I believe you as a ghost!

Chilchak sighed helplessly. He didn't understand what she was obsessed with, but he didn't bother to argue with her. Anyway, there were enough abnormal people in the team, and she was not the only one missing.

Thinking like this, he even felt a little sad for no reason. Is it really so difficult to find a normal person as a teammate?

"Is this the end? We haven't even had time to see more action..."

Looking at the body of the griffon that died at the speed of light, Leos looked a little disappointed, but he soon regained his composure and said cheerfully:

"Then, let's taste the taste of griffon meat next!"

Seeing that the other person was sighing for the death of the gryphon one second, and excitedly wanting to eat the other person's meat the next second, Itsuzumi said with a disgusted expression:

"This man is so disgusting."

At this time, Malucile and Chilchak nodded in agreement, while on the other side, looking at Sensi who was in shock, Faline stepped forward and expressed concern:

"Mr. Sensi, are you okay?"

"I...it's okay..."

Sensi reluctantly responded. At this time, Leos waved to him excitedly and said:

"Sensi, let's cook griffin!"

"——!"

However, this time, Sensi did not respond as actively as usual. Instead, he was frightened and took a step back. Seeing this situation, even the slow Malucile finally realized that Sensi's behavior was a bit abnormal.

"Senxi, what's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Sensi was still unable to answer, and seemed to have something to hide. At this time, Chilchak sighed and suddenly began to introduce himself:

"Listen to me Sensi——"

"My name is Qilchak. I was born in a small basin village in the northeast. Since about ten years ago, I have been wandering around mazes in various places to make a living."

At this point, his tone paused and he said awkwardly:

"Also, I have a wife and daughter, but I haven't seen them for several years due to various reasons."

"——!!!"

Maluciel's pupils instantly shook, her eyes became dull, and she fell into a shutdown state due to too much shock.

After saying all this, Chilchak looked at Sensi again and said:

"My past is probably like this. Now it's your turn to tell us your past, right? Why do you live in a maze, and what happened to you?"

In fact, when they first met Sensi, Chilchak felt that the other party's words and deeds were a bit strange, because when the other party introduced himself, he said that he had been studying monster cooking in the maze for more than ten years, but this maze was six years old. It was discovered only a few years ago.

Let’s get back to the point.

Now that the situation has come to this, and Chilchak said so, Sensi can no longer find a reason to hide it. He sighed and began to tell his story--

In fact, he entered the maze not ten years ago, but decades earlier. At that time, he was a member of a team of dwarf miners who were searching for treasure underground and accidentally dug this maze.

At that time, the maze was still a veritable city of gold. The walls, the ground, and the pillars were all covered with gold. They were also completely fascinated by the wealth in front of them. They kept going deeper and deeper as if they were possessed. When they finally woke up, they found that they had lost their way in the maze and had little food left.

Not only that, they were also attacked by a powerful monster. For some reason, the other party chased them relentlessly. They kept trying to resist, but they continued to lose people. The food was completely exhausted. Even the horses that transported goods were eaten by the monster. The remaining team members started to quarrel fiercely from time to time, and they were almost in a desperate situation.

Because he was still young at the time, the other members of the team did not allow him to go out of the safe zone to fight monsters, so he had never seen what the monster that was tracking them looked like. He only heard from one of the members that it was a monster called a griffin.

Until the last time, the remaining two companions went out to fight with their companions again, but only one person came back. The other party told him that the other person was killed by the griffin, but they also defeated the griffin, and he also brought back the meat of the griffin for him to cook and eat.

But he should not be sure until now whether the meat brought back by the other party at that time was really griffin meat.

Later, the last companion disappeared after he woke up, and he did not dare to go out. With the remaining meat, he kept studying the map drawn so far in the room, and finally found a way out in the secret code left by the ancient dwarves.

So he finally plucked up the courage to leave the room boldly, and only the equipment of his companions was left outside the room. He could not find any monster corpses, so he took these equipment and explored all the way, and finally left the maze.

But because of his previous experience, he didn't dare to return to his hometown, and he lived in the shallow layer of the maze until other adventurers gradually began to appear in the maze, and the number of people increased. Finally, he met Laos and his group not long ago.

And in the past few decades, he has always been very concerned about one thing-

Is the meat brought back by the other party really griffin meat?

"..."

Hearing this, everyone's expression was a little heavy, and Senxi's tone paused slightly, and sighed again:

"This is why I want to escape from the griffin, because I am afraid of knowing the truth."
