After that, I confirmed that Diablo entered the labyrinth by the use of "Dimension magic". However, as soon as he entered he came out; it is obvious that he couldn"t go alone.

After closing the store, the manager teaches me the basics of cooking and I made some light dishes. And I put that on the table.

And so, as planned, I will go and look for Diablo, which will be around warm places.

Using up to the last MP I found Diablo crouching.

"Hungry…" [Diablo]

He looks depressed and hungry.

"We meet again" [Kanami/ Christ]

I pretend for it to be a coincidence and call out.

"You are the clerk from the bar" [Diablo]

"Yes. You don"t have money today either?" [Kanami/ Christ]

"As you can see. I am having problems with finding something to eat" [Diablo]

Diablo drops his shoulders while sneering at himself.

"Oh, it is perfect. There are some leftovers. How about it?" [Kanami/ Christ]

"… Leftovers…?" [Diablo]

He seems to be a little suspicious. I was prepared for it so I answer immediately.

"I am practicing cuisine at the tavern after it closes, but I am in trouble today because there is too much food left" [Kanami/ Christ]

"Oh, such a thing? But, is it okay to give me that?" [Diablo]

"It is okay; actually, I was also present today when you were in that fuss. As a clerk, it was my job to help, but I couldn"t do anything because I am a coward, so I felt like I had to do something for you" [Kanami/ Christ]

"You were watching that? You don"t have to mind it… But, I will accept the food" [Diablo]

Diablo says so and stands up.

Maybe he still is a little suspicious, but it seems that he wants the food.

We talked lightly on the way back to the tavern.

He seems surprised at the taste of my cooking. Maybe the culinary has not developed much in this world.

"This is good… Hey, I heard from a woman clerk that you have experience with the labyrinth" [Diablo]

"Well" [Kanami/ Christ]

I have short sleeves while I work. So normally people can see the scar left from the fire, so the curious customers ask Rin-san about it.

"How far have you gone?" [Diablo]

His interest in the labyrinth overflows from his words.

I choose words that don"t make me look impatient.

"I challenged the labyrinth alone and suffered a serious injury on the first floor" [Kanami/ Christ]

"You went alone too?" [Diablo]

Diablo"s face lightens. It seems he found someone similar to him and he laughs.

"Because I was not blessed with my friends" [Kanami/ Christ]

"I see" [Diablo]

I attentively watch Diablo"s face. I am trying to induce him.

After that we talk about our knowledge about the labyrinth, level and status.

While talking about these things I was waiting for Diablo"s words.

"Well, if you don"t mind, why don"t we go to the labyrinth together?" [Diablo]

Diablo invites me nervously.

If it took more time I would have invited him myself. But I got an invitation from Diablo?

"Yes, that isn"t bad; it seems that our skills are similar, so it should be nice if we help each other" [Kanami/ Christ]

"I see! Thank you very much!" [Diablo]

"But I work at the bar at night, so I can only go in the morning" [Kanami/ Christ]

"That is okay. That is not a problem, really!" [Diablo]

Diablo keeps thanking me with a smile.

Apparently, he seems full of happiness for finding his comrade. I try to not show my emotions, but I make a gut pose in my mind. It is great that I got a helper by winning his favor by pretending. With knowledgeable partners it will be easy to deal with unexpected problems.

"Well then, is it okay to start tomorrow?" [Diablo]

"Yes, my name is Christ Eurasia, feel free to call me Christ" [Christ]

"Okay. My name is Dia. I don"t have a last name; you can call me just Dia" [Diablo]

Finally the self-introduction is finished. There is no reaction to my name. I was scared that the status display may be owned by him, but it seems that was not the case.

Also, the name is different. He is named Diablo Cis, and he has a last name. Seeing how the last names in this world work, he indeed has a last name, but it doesn"t seem like Dia is lying. Perhaps I am watching the name by which he will call himself in the future.

There seems to be "Holes" in this display.

"Well" [Christ]

Dia seems delightful at making a friend.

Combined with his neutral-looking face his face is prettier than many girls" around here. It is not a manly face, but Dia is a he. I tried to check the gender in the "Display" but it was never shown.

"Well Dia. Thank you" [Christ]

"Oh!" [Diablo]

Diablo Cis joined the party.

The party leader is Aikawa Tominawa -

End of the third day
