Time: After Chapter 13
The Sannokia Kingdom, which is located in the northern part of Queen Castaar\'s Kingdom, currently has 17 brave women who belong to the kingdom.
In reality, they (all women) have already lost their brave status, so it would be correct to call them ex-braves, but since few people know about them, they are still treated as braves in the public eye.
Ironically, the real heroes are not worthy, but they are more successful than the real ones, so they are famous as the most excellent heroes.
To these excellent girls, the kingdom of Sanokia has given them large mansions.
The Sannokia Kingdom could have given each of the 17 girls a house, but since all 17 girls wanted to live in one house, it became a big house instead of a big house.
The seventeen women have something else in common besides being former heroes.
That is, they were all saved by Jin Shindo and later became his followers.
Their number one goal is to be of service to Jin, and because they share the same goal, their unity is very strong.
Their current objective is to defeat the Demon King.
This is not a mission for the brave men, but an instruction from Jin.
That\'s why all 17 heroes are working vigorously, and although the mansion they were given at great expense, it\'s usually not very popular.
However, on that day, they were unusually welcoming one guest in the reception room.
The guest\'s name is Shindo Rin. She is the younger sister of Jin Shindo, a believer.
\'\'Let me ask you point-blank. How many people do you know who have responded to your brother\'s call and chosen to transfer to this world?
It was a question that Jin would never ask.
And the one who answered that question was Shippouin Jinmu, the leader of the seventeen former heroes.
\'\'Is it correct to recognize that it is someone who can abandon everything in the former world for Shindo-sama?
Yes, I\'m sure that\'s correct.
The World Tree in the Elven Village has the ability to summon otherworldly people, and Rin came to this world because Jin used that function to summon her.
The summoned person can choose whether or not to transfer to the other world, but if they do, they must be prepared to abandon everything in their original world on the spot.
What Rin asked was how many people would be willing to accept it if summoned by Jin.
In other words, it is also the number of followers who are not here.
\'From what we have gathered, this would include 73 women and 32 men. Of these, 19 are so influential in their original world that we believe they are likely to cause more than a little social disruption.
Even if he wished to be summoned, it was impossible to say that the side left behind would not be affected.
Among Jin\'s followers, there were not a few people who had great influence.
\'\'On the other hand, how many of them would have little or no impact if they transitioned?\'\'
While we\'re not saying that the impact is zero, there are 26 people with very limited impact, all of whom are in their teens and 20s.
The percentage of women is overwhelmingly high.
\'My question is, did Master Shindo say he was going to summon them?
\'No, your brother didn\'t say anything. Basically, he has no intention of using the summoning function. He said that summoning me wasn\'t something he did willingly.
There was a history of calling for Rin as a result of a fierce push by Mio.
\'\'Then why did you ask me this?\'\'
\'To persuade my brother to summon his followers from another world.
...... You\'re not going to do anything against your will, are you, Mr. Shindo?
For Shippouin, that is the most important matter of all.
\'\'Naturally. In this case, your brother\'s stance is \'withholding\'. Since there is a precedent with me, it shouldn\'t be an outright rejection. Truly, I can only thank Mio-san for that.
Jin rarely reverses his rejection once.
If Mio hadn\'t stopped him and encouraged him to summon it when Jin first said, \'It\'s in storage,\' the chances of the summoning taking place would have been very low.
\'\'If you are the one who has a small impact on the original world if you summon it, I\'m sure your brother will think about it.
\'\'How does summoning otherworldly people benefit Rin-san? Honestly, I don\'t know why Rin-san is taking the initiative to recommend the summoning.
I didn\'t understand why Rin wanted to summon me, even if it was my own brainchild, who was also a follower, but I didn\'t understand why she wanted to summon me.
\'\'There are two reasons, the first and biggest one is that I want to increase my brother\'s \'allies\'. Those who are summoned will be given exclusive skills. I thought that if you\'re a follower, you\'ll become your brother\'s \'ally\' and be determined to use those skills for him.
In the original world, the followers were neither poison nor medicine to Jin.
Although he didn\'t say it in front of Jin, one of Jin\'s best friends, Asai, had called them the \'Unofficial Hidden Fan Club\'.
This was because if it wasn\'t for celebrities, there was very little they could do for a fan club.
But in the other world, it\'s different.
In a world that is even more dangerous than the original world, an absolute \'ally\' has great meaning and value.
If that \'ally\' has a special skill, the value is even higher.
\'\'The twenty-six people I mentioned would definitely choose to become under Shindo-sama\'s command if summoned. Because unlike those of us who can attend the same school as Shindo-sama, these girls outside of the university are hungry for contact with Jin-sama.
Although Shippouin didn\'t state it explicitly, these twenty-six could be summed up in one word: \'Jin\'s Stalker\'.
These women, who are fortunate enough to have enough money to live on, do not belong to a company or school, and spend all their time and abilities just chasing Jin.
Their policy is to "avoid detection by Jin" and "protect Jin in the event that he is in danger", and the unity of the twenty-six is as strong as that of Shippouin and the others.
To be more precise, they are doing the escorting (stalking) as a team, so their teamwork is amazing.
On a side note, Jin doesn\'t notice (you can\'t notice without hostility), but Asai does.
\'The other reason I wanted to call him out is that if there are people in my position, I wanted to call them out.
How do you say we\'re on the same page?
\'\'The first thing I said was, \'When my brother calls me, I\'m the one who chooses to transfer to this world. I am very happy to have come to this world with my brother.
According to Rin, \'I\'ll go crazy when I realize Jin is gone.
In addition, the death of a junior high school girl\'s madness causes a public outcry. Classmate\'s Trauma.
\'What will happen to those 26 followers when their brother is gone?\'
I don\'t even want to think about it: ......
Considering the worst situation, Shippouin\'s face is clouded.
In addition, the mass suicide of 26 women will cause a public outcry.
And other than those 26, the rest of them are just barely able to endure it because of their strong connections outside of Jin (・・・・・).
In other words, it\'s a blessing in disguise.
There was a lot of havoc to share.
\'I\'m convinced; I\'ll compile a detailed list of the twenty-six and pass it on to you.
As for Shippouin, there was nothing negative about Jin\'s strength being strengthened.
As an aside, the seventeen Shippouin and the twenty-six Stalkers were envious of each other.
It\'s not just a matter of time before you\'ll be able to get to know each other, it\'s also a matter of time before you\'ll be able to spend all your time focusing on Jin.
As they say, \'the grass next to you looks blue\'.
\'\'Thank you. I\'m going to start trying to convince my brother to do the same.
After this, he succeeded in getting permission to say \'I will summon you until you fail even once\'.

Titles: Slaves of Jin\'s Slaves, Transmigrators, and Otherworldly Heroes
Note: He is one of Jin\'s followers in his original world. He is the leader of the 17 people who moved to another world. She is the daughter of a famous family and a versatile character. It\'s difficult to see her versatility in this story. She is currently building up a track record of success against demons. To add to this, she and Rin have already met before the main story. In the original world, they recognized each other but did not interact. It\'s a strange relationship, the first time we\'ve talked to each other since we came to the other world. We didn\'t talk about anything other than Jin\'s story.
Title: Chief Labyrinth Guardian (Chief Keeper) Caro, Labyrinth Guide.
Viewpoint: Caro
Time: Around Chapter 13
Today is the day for the Labyrinth Guide.
At the Labyrinth Guide, I, as the Chief Labyrinth Guardian (Chief Keeper), will explain the structure and function of the labyrinth to the newcomers to Master Djinn\'s team, especially those who use the labyrinth.
Although the labyrinth (dungeon) of Esther is ostensibly 50 levels in length, there are actually up to 60 levels. Explorers cannot advance beyond the 51st level, and the space is reserved for the administration, i.e. our private use. Currently, the first 54 levels are in use, and as you can see, the 51st level is a residential area.
The best way to understand the labyrinth is to show it to the visitors rather than explain it in words or letters.
Therefore, it is customary to guide visitors through the labyrinth in order starting from the 51st layer.
At first glance, the residential area of the 51st layer looks like a normal town, but there are only facilities for food, clothing and shelter.
To be specific, there are ordinary houses, orphanages, inns, grocery stores, eating places, clothing stores, medical offices, parks, etc.
Facilities not related to food, clothing and shelter will be placed on other levels.
This living area was originally prepared for the Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers) who manage the Labyrinth, but after Master Jin became the Labyrinth Ruler (Dungeon Master), it has also been used as a place to live for those who have no place outside the Labyrinth.
The people who participated in this labyrinth guide also include those who live in this living quarters.
Master Jin explained that these are people who are living and dying outside and have no home to return to.
\'\'Examples include orphans abandoned in the labyrinth, refugee elves whose dwellings have collapsed, and tamed demons who aren\'t ...... people, but are also living here.
Briefly, it\'s a place to throw people who don\'t belong outside the labyrinth.
Conversely, the labyrinth is the reason why Jin-sama is able to increase the number of subordinates at will.
If it wasn\'t for the labyrinth, his power wouldn\'t have increased as much as it has now.
This is my small pride.
\'\'The male to female ratio is about 2:8, with an overwhelming majority of women.
\'It\'s not just in the labyrinth that there are so many women around your brother, is it?
Jin-sama\'s sister, Lin-sama, who was present at this briefing, asked.
\'If anything, it\'s more of a male dominated place. Excluding the Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers), the gender ratio varies up to 4:6. There are only female Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers).
Did your brother tell you to be the only woman in the room?
\'\'No. As per the rules of the labyrinth, the Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers) can only be of the opposite sex, or in other words, female, in the eyes of the Labyrinth\'s ruler (Dungeon Master), Lady Jinn.
The Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers) are immortal beings.
You could say they are the same as the rest of the residents in the sense that they have no place outside the labyrinth.
As an aside, all of the Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers) except me are former searchers.
Where one person was dying in the labyrinth, I offered them a deal to become a labyrinth guardian (keeper) instead of helping them.
\'I\'m convinced. As far as the labyrinth is concerned, it\'s not your brother\'s cup of tea that there are so many women in it, is it?
Apparently, Master Lin does not hesitate to say things to Master Jin.
Having finished explaining the 51st layer, they moved on to the next 52nd layer.
\'\'The role of the 52nd layer is to produce food. There\'s a whole area of land involved in food production, such as pastures, fields, forests, woods, lakes and rivers. The labyrinth functions to manage the environment, including the temperature, so we have a stable supply of food.
The reason why there were no fields and such on the 51st level is because they are all grouped together on the 52nd level.
The people living in the labyrinth basically eat the food produced in the 52nd layer.
By dividing the labyrinth into compartments, we can grow plants and animals in an optimal environment.
Recently, efforts have been made to bring in plants and animals from outside the labyrinth to improve their quality.
As a result, even the same kind of produce can be of higher quality than those from outside the labyrinth.
We sell some of our products outside the labyrinth, and I hear that they are selling very well.
It\'s also a hierarchy that has been strengthened recently due to Jin-sama\'s strong interest in \'food\'.
I don\'t know much about it, but Akira-sama, the former ruler of the labyrinth (dungeon master), didn\'t care much about food, and the labyrinth guardians (keepers) were managing it to the minute.
\'Hey, how big is this labyrinth, how big is it? I hear I work in this demographic: ......
Earth, a new resident of the labyrinth, asked a question.
He and his family have chosen to live in the labyrinth because they cannot return home.
Mr. Earth will work as a fisherman in the lake at this level.
In their case, they are allowed to go out of the labyrinth because they are just ordinary people with no problems.
Each layer of the labyrinth is the same size as the land of the Kingdom of Esther on the ground. If you want to know more, I can show you a map later, how would you like it?
\'No, I don\'t need to see a map. ...... reasonably, that\'s why I\'m not afraid to let people in.
The last muttering must be referring to Jin-sama.
If we have 51 layers to 60 layers at our disposal, that means that we have ten times the land area of the Esther Kingdom by simple calculation.
Of that, one layer of land, that is, the land of one country, is used for food production.
Moreover, since it\'s within the labyrinth, there\'s no crop failure, and even if we make too much, we can preserve it with the help of Jinn-sama.
To be honest, I can\'t find any reason to go outside the labyrinth.
Clothing, food and shelter are completed inside the labyrinth alone.
I would like to go further and explain the 53rd level of the labyrinth.
"The 53rd level is the processing facility, which is used to process the crops produced at the 52nd level, as well as processing and creating non-food items on this level... As with the 52nd level, we adjust the environment for different purposes.
The reason for the separation of the production and processing tiers is that if facilities with different purposes are mixed in one tier, it\'s not good for expansion.
It\'s a compartmentalization that can\'t be achieved outside the labyrinth, but inside the labyrinth it doesn\'t matter because you can transition.
\'\'Those who live in the labyrinth will basically be working at the 52nd or 53rd level. You will be given a position depending on your skill aptitude, but we can adjust it if you wish.
Jin-sama\'s abilities will tell you what a person\'s aptitude is, so it\'s basic to get him a job for which he\'s suitable.
However, we are also told to be flexible to some extent if the person wishes to do so.
In some cases, if the person wants to work, but has no aptitude at all, they will work at a suitable job until they have the right skills for the job they want.
Basically, Mr. Jin\'s men will receive points for their work.
As you accumulate these points, you can exchange them for skills managed by Master Jinn.
Those who do battle for a living often exchange their points for skills that are useful in battle, while those who are involved in production often exchange their points for corresponding skills.
In addition, there are people who spend all of their skills on skills related to their hobbies. I heard that he got the magic skill because he loves singing and wanted to use it once.
The last 54 levels are slightly different in color.
The 54th level was added after Jin-sama became the ruler of the labyrinth (Dungeon Master).
\'\'The 54th level is a training level. Under Master Jinn\'s command, there are those who fight for a living and those who are required to have the strength to defend themselves. At this level, we can train in a way that we can\'t on the ground, or simulate what we can do on the ground.
The 51st to 53rd layers are completed in the maze.
The 54th level, on the contrary, is designed to be used by people outside the labyrinth.
The main reason for this is that Jin-sama, the dungeon master of the labyrinth, focuses on activities outside the labyrinth.
At the 54th level, you can use the vast land to train in various ways.
One-on-one combat training, battle training against demons created by the labyrinth\'s functions, and outdoor activity training by changing the land\'s environment are often used.
It was also used to test out range-attack magic and too obvious skills that couldn\'t be used on the ground.
Now we come to the most obvious, the anti-personnel combat training area.
I see Cynthia, an explorer, and Latina, a vampire, fighting with full skill use. It seems that their stats, other than skills, are matched to the same degree.
It\'s safe to say that this is a combination that can never be seen on earth.
Most of the participants are amateurs when it comes to combat, so they are blinking their eyes at the battle that is unfolding.
Both of them are regulars in the 54th tier.
Those who love to fight are getting in as long as it doesn\'t interfere with their assigned roles.
\'\'I want to fight!\'\'
Saying that, the one with a twinkle in her eye is Asuka-san, the demon girl.
It seems that she is a brave person just like Maria and Cynthia. ＜Does the word "brave" mean that you all like to fight ......?
\'Well, I\'m going to finish explaining this layer, so if you could wait a while longer?\'
Okay!
Apparently, we are in the process of adding one more regular participant.
Once we have seen off all the participants, today\'s guide to the labyrinth has been completed.
\'Huh. ....... No matter how long it takes, I\'ll never get used to speaking in public.\'\'
Having managed the labyrinth alone for a long time before Jin-sama became the labyrinth master (dungeon master), I can\'t say I have a lot of interpersonal experience. ...... No, to be clear, I lack it.
My years of experience and position make me the chief labyrinth guardian (chief keeper), but my ability to be a labyrinth guardian (keeper) and my ability to stand above others are two completely different things.
Ordinary labyrinth guardians (keepers) only need to manage their area of responsibility, but chief labyrinth guardians (chief keepers) don\'t have an area of responsibility, they have to manage labyrinth guardians (keepers) and sometimes they are the briefers, as in this case.
I am not accustomed to it, so it was quite a difficult job for me.
Though it\'s better than managing a labyrinth without a labyrinth master (dungeon master) all by myself. ......
Without a labyrinth ruler (dungeon master), you can\'t have more labyrinth protectors (keepers). I\'ve always been the only labyrinth guardian (keeper) of the labyrinth by myself.
Partly because I was lonely, and partly because I couldn\'t manage the entire labyrinth by myself, so I had to leave it to the automatic processing of the labyrinth, and I wasn\'t happy with the fact that I could only manage the labyrinth in a lower quality than when Akira-sama was there.
I don\'t feel lonely now, and I\'m happy with the number of labyrinth guardians (keepers) that we have in place, so I\'m happy with the high quality of management.
The atmosphere is much different from when Akira-sama was here, but I guess this is closer to the way I wanted the labyrinth to be.
"And thanks to Jin-sama becoming the ruler of the labyrinth (dungeon master), I even got the perk of being able to eat all the sweetness in the world.
I actually have an eye for sweet food.
Unfortunately, the sweetness situation in the labyrinth wasn\'t very good until Jin-sama arrived.
Since there is only one labyrinth guardian (keeper), we can\'t even go to the ground to eat.
But now, Master Jinn has traveled all over the world, and ingredients and dishes from all over the world are gathered in this labyrinth.
As a result, you can eat as much sweetness as you want from all over the world in the 51-story dining hall.
The result is an all-you-can-eat sweetness from around the world in the 51-story dining hall. It seems that the people who were at the briefing today had some new fruits in their country, so there are going to be more new desserts.
The Labyrinth Guardians (Keepers) are immortal beings.
As long as the labyrinth exists, the body remains in an optimal state. In other words, no matter how much you eat, you will not gain weight. In this one respect, many women say they are glad to be a Labyrinth Guardian (Keeper).
