Volume 13 Chapter 5 Part 3
If that wasn’t the case, anyone would be able to defeat the 50th floor’s Floor Boss with ease. Whether it was the former Earl of Selmar or anyone else, there would be no one who would be troubled by not being able to liberate the Labyrinths.
In this world, labyrinths are overflowing, and the reason why people like the former Earl of Selmar, who was unable to clear the Labyrinths in his lands efficiently, are replaced is because there are only a few people who can defeat the Floor Boss on the 50th floor. This is probably because they would be forced to waste years of training in order to go up to that floor.
For an ordinary person, it could take ten years at worst to challenge the boss on the 50th floor after defeating the boss on the 49th floor, and if It takes that much time, then of course you’d be worrying for a long time about whether to challenge the boss on the 50th floor at all or not, and it would be difficult to decide whether you can actually beat him or not. Even more so, since in the Labyrinths, making the wrong decision means death.
At times like these, when you’ve cleared the boss on the 49th floor and have trained a long time since then but are unsure whether you can beat the boss on the 50th floor, and it’s about time to try but you’re hesitant because of the risk of annihilation, it would be great if you could challenge the boss on a 50th floor which has a lower level of difficulty.
They would then accept you as the leader of their faction and follow you for the rest of their lives, and many people would probably ask for your help. Until then, you’ll be repeatedly fighting the small fry on the 50th floor and the boss on the 49th floor until you grow strong enough to challenge the Floor Boss properly.
Even though the difficulty will be lowered, I don’t know how much easier it will actually be, and it probably won’t be even one floor lower; but if you repeatedly fight the small enemies on the 50th floor, you should be able to get a feel for how much the difficulty has been lowered, and it will at least give you a hint as to whether you can go to the normal 50th floor, or if you’re almost there, or not yet at all.
If you would hesitate for ten years after clearing the 49th floor, by breaking through the lowered difficulty of the 50th floor, you can reduce your training time and the time spent worrying about whether to go to the 50th floor by years, at best.
It may be the same after clearing the Floor Bosses on the 48th and 47th floors, but unlike the 50th floor Floor Boss, the 49th and 48th floor Floor Bosses can be defeated any number of times.
The higher you go, the longer it will take to advance to the next floor, and the conditions will likely be stricter, so having the 50th floor Floor Boss brokered will be very useful. If a person’s limit is somewhere around the 40-something floors, 50-something floors, or 60-something floors, the conditions for advancing from the 49th floor to the 50th floor will be tougher than advancing from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor.
Let’s also not forget that a normal party wouldn’t think of going up one floor a day in the 40-something floors. They would never think of it. Absolutely not. Do you understand, Roxanne? That’s what I mean. That what you want us to do is definitely not normal.
When you think about it, Sherry and Rutina, who didn’t understand the benefit of introducing the Floor Boss battle on the 50th floor, which is easier, have been poisoned by Roxanne. They’re completely influenced by her, and it might be too late to save them from Roxanne’s harmful influence
No. Wait. Is this because I thought that the Duke of Hartz would introduce it to me after I cleared the Floor Boss battle on the 50th floor, but the prerequisites were actually different? Yes, in that case, I can see it being my fault. Sorry.
「Ah, the 50th floor. 」
Why did I think he’d introduce me to a Labyrinth that could be defeated on the 50th floor after I’d cleared the boss on the 50th floor to begin with? Well, it can’t be helped now. You’d think conquering a Labyrinth is something special. You said big things like it’s the duty of a noble.
If that’s the case, then you’d first clear the normal 50th floor, which isn’t the top floor of the Labyrinth, and then defeat the Floor Boss on the 50th floor, which is the top floor of the labyrinth, and then liberate the labyrinth. That’s the order you’d think it should be.
I suppose that’s what they call order, and there’s supposed to be an order to everything, right? I suppose that’s the axiom of choice. I’m not to blame for thinking about the order, although the problem is that I didn’t think of an order in which there would be another Floor Boss battle between the 49th floor and the 50th floor.
「That’s… just like you, Lord Michio. 」
「Yes. It was unexpectedly amazing. 」
Stop it. My Life Points are about to hit zero. I can’t believe even Gozer couldn’t follow up.
「N-no. Well, yeah. The Orichalcum Sword we got the other day gave us plenty of power, and Rutina will probably continue to grow even stronger as time goes on, so I think it’s all thanks to my Party Members. Roxanne is already setting her sights on clearing the next floor, the 51st, and I’m worried it might be within our striking distance as well… 」
That’s true. Our fighting power has also increased with the Orichalcum Sword. This can be said to be thanks to the Duke of Hartz. And the worst of all is Roxanne, who is eager to move on to the next floor. This is all Roxanne’s fault. Or rather, it’s all thanks to my Party Members, but it’s their fault as well.
「Oh. Are you talking about the one who showed those perfect movements during the duel? She’s still the same even on the 50th floor? 」
「She even treated the 50th floor Floor Boss battle like it was child’s play. 」
「Good heavens… 」
Yeah, that’s what I thought as well. Roxanne has been proven wrong. Like I thought, Gozer understood the pain of being pushed up from below. Yes, yes! I totally get it!
「So, Michio-dono, are you heading to the 51st floor next? 」
Duke, it would be great if you didn’t talk about such serious matters in such a carefree manner.
「Well, I suppose that’s how it is going to turn out. 」 I said reluctantly, unwillingly, but inevitably. There is no choice for me.
Yes, choice. I would like to call Roxanne’s axiom of choice one that states the next level after level n is level n+1. This is how it is proven that the next level after level 50 is level 51. The fact is that 1 + 1 = 2 is an extremely difficult mathematical problem, and it can only be tackled by using Roxanne’s axiom of choice system.
「Hmm. In that case, how about leaving the Yezera Labyrinth to you, Lord Michio? 」 the Duke of Hartz suggested.
So he wants me to conquer the 51st floor? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch? Not really. I wonder. If it was Roxanne, she might have said something like:「Today’s the Floor Boss fight on the 51st floor! 」if there was any information at all about the location of the Boss Room. Or rather, she probably would. She’d definitely say that, and after clearing it she’d say that tomorrow we’re off to the 52nd floor.
Compared to that, this isn’t that bad, is it? Gozer hasn’t said anything about it either. I guess that means that it’s not an unreasonable request that requires a follow-up.
「Hmm. The 51st floor… 」
「Entering the labyrinth in the Selmar territory would benefit the current Earl of Selmar, and could be seen as a sign of that party’s support and affirmation, so I didn’t ask for Michio’s help. However, if it’s the final step in conquering the labyrinth within the territory, I’m sure he wouldn’t object, even if it is his duty as a noble. 」
Is this because he’s concerned about Rutina? She’s on the side of the former Earl of Selmar, who was overthrown in a coup d’état, after all. He probably thinks that operating in the Labyrinth within the territory would mean aiding the current government, so the Duke thinks that Rutina might rebel and reject the new Earl. However, if it’s about conquering the Labyrinth, her response won’t be so extreme.

How the author has gone wild here with his graphomania….. Nobody’s gonna train for ten years on the 49-50th floor to challenge the boss.
So lazy to read these paragraphs of chewing up, I want to read only the dialog, but then from a piece of chapter will remain 4 lines…
