Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 109
BIRDS OF A FEATHER(2)
I returned home after a long time.
“It feels cramped now.”
The C-Tier Accommodation is only three-room level, so the contrast is quite significant. I’ll probably move up to A-tier in the next tier reassignment, and from then on, tiers might become meaningless.
“Ow, my back…”
I lay down on the bed and turned on my smartphone.
│ㅅㅍ) Why this episode is legendary│
│Confirmed GOAT program in South Korean constitutional history│
│ㅅㅍ) In the end, it’s these bastards ㅇㅇ│
All the popular posts were about Mitamnan. Even though this wasn’t a Mitamnan-related community, they were all about it.
I clicked on ‘It’s these bastards after all.’
The two guys who carried since the Cargo Dungeon are carrying again at legendary level
It was a photo of Kang Hyeon and me facing each other from the Cargo Dungeon. A well-captured A-cut.
│ㅅㅍ) Seolhaun’s sweet moment │
Next was a popular post collecting only scenes of Seer and me being suspicious of each other. This one also had thousands of recommendations.
“They edited it brilliantly.”
Honestly, it wasn’t that much of a noir. It wasn’t just serious personal drama either.
I just glanced sideways to gauge the situation, Seer also looked at me briefly while maintaining distance, and I found that even more suspicious so I scanned him…
That’s what those scenes were like.
But looking at it this way, it seems like some mind-blowing psychological warfare.
─They seemed to suspect each other from the start. Really, every time they were caught in the same frame, it was breathtaking. So tense.
─Seer who fooled everyone, Seol Ha-woon who was the only one not fooled.
─This episode was just fucking packed. Those who saw it in theaters are the winners.
─There’ll probably be many repeat viewings. Even thinking of it as a theatrical release, it’s this year’s masterpiece.
─Should I just go watch it at a local theater;;;
└If you already watched the broadcast, Yongamek Theater is highly recommended. I heard they’re opening Dolby too, that wouldn’t be bad either since the sound is amazing
│Mitamnan team dispatched for stage greeting│
This time I’m appearing at the theater greeting for Detective Conan Movie 9 ㄷㄷ
Lee Jun-ho, Seo Ji-woo, Jo Woon, Yoon Hwa-rim, Kang Hyeon, Kate, Seol Ha-woon, Ryu Yeon-hwa.
─Wow fuck I should have booked tickets
─So jealous, they said they toured about eight theaters
─People really fucking swarmed there. Thought there was a war.
This time I searched for Seol Ha-woon on SNS.
│Seol Ha-woon fancam│
│Stage greeting fancam│
Quite a few fancams focusing only on me were uploaded too. I looked through the comments with bleary eyes.
─Wow Seol Ha-woon in person;
─Even the reasonable left is surprisingly handsome
─Honestly, with muggles, Mal-ok is way more popular than Kang Jun-ho lol
─Where are there muggles in Mitamnan when viewership exceeded 30%. Anyone who doesn’t know is a spy.
─Seol Ha-woon’s skin was amazing. I saw him up close and it was glowing
“…Is that so~?”
I looked in the mirror.
First, my skin is indeed very good, even from my perspective. Thanks to consistently using up the entire skin care set.
…I’ll save the self-admiration for later.
I put the generator, laptop, and everything else into the subspace.
Now it was time to meet my first pet who had been alone all this time, that Penguin guy.
* * *
“Have you been doing well?”
Subspace. I asked Astroal—Penguin.
〔Yes.〕
Penguin answered briefly. He’d normally be expressionless anyway, but his complexion seemed particularly bad.
Maybe he’s sulking because I left him alone all this time.
He probably figured out the reality.
In this subspace, he can’t meet anyone or sell anything. He has no choice but to be alone for long periods.
I feel sorry for no reason. I can’t even return him.
“Just wait a few more years.”
If I successfully finish this work and luckily become a mage or something, I’ll be able to obscure the source and process enough to get official pet authorization.
“Until then.”
I installed the magic stone generator. Connected the power strip. Placed the laptop on Penguin’s counter.
“Here. It’s a gift. This is a laptop, and since you’re a robot, you know how to use it, right?”
〔I can excellently handle almost all machines, regardless of hardware or software.〕
“Right. I’m envious. Use this to watch OTT or something when you’re alone.”
Beep. Penguin’s expression moved. He stretched out his blunt hand and pressed the laptop’s power button.
He uses it well.
“Well… Hey Aro. But where did the potato chips go?”
〔Aro?〕
“Yeah. Your name. Astroal is too long. Let’s make it Aro.”
〔…Understood.〕
He doesn’t seem too pleased, but obey your master’s words.
“Wait. Aroro seems better though?”
Aroro.
It kind of reminds me of someone wearing glasses.
〔Aro seems much more appropriate.〕
Penguin seemed urgent for some reason.
“Right. Then Aro, where did these potato chips go?”
The potato chips on the shelf had disappeared.
Did he eat them?
No, there’s no way a robot would eat.
〔They’re out of stock.〕
“Sold out?”
I let out a hollow laugh.
The robot is even lying now.
“Hey, you can’t just throw away food like that.”
〔It is sold out.〕
Look at this. It’s surprisingly stubborn.
“Hey. If it’s sold out, that means you sold it?”
〔Yes. That is correct.〕
“Are robots supposed to lie?”
〔It is not a lie.〕
“Attention.”
I narrowed my eyes. Penguin was already standing at attention.
“Fine. What did you get in exchange for selling it?”
Then Aro lifted something up from below. It was a crude wooden box.
Calling it a box was generous. It was just… trash made from assembling a few pieces of wood?
This robot talks like it can do anything, but its craftsmanship is a complete disaster.
“A robot lying and all…”
I thought there would just be twigs inside as I opened it.
“…”
I immediately closed it.
More than the radiance shining through, it was because of the item window filling my vision.
I swallowed.
“…You didn’t kill someone, did you?”
The only way to acquire this much loot in such a short time would be through plunder, no matter how I think about it.
This time Aro narrowed its eyes.
〔It is the result of legitimate transactions.〕
Then it projected something while flashing its panel. It was transaction footage and ledgers recording them.
〔Robot. So we can stay here for 7 hours?〕
〔I see… that’s a relief. Alright. Here.〕
〔You even give discounts? Thank you.〕
〔Hey robot. How much? I don’t have cash. I’ll barter.〕
〔Tsk. Fine. I’ll pay with loot.〕
“Ah…”
I understood how Aro had attracted customers.
Due to the magic coefficient, my mana circuit is connected to this penguin. In other words, it can use my skill, Subspace.
Aro had utilized its long-range observation and magic collection abilities to install switches in dangerous areas, calling in adventurers in crisis.
“So… you earned all this like that?”
〔That is correct.〕
There’s a lot of loot. There’s even B-grade loot.
Combined, it would be worth about 100 million won.
〔Yes. Master’s permission is required for disposal.〕
“…”
I looked at Aro. It seemed a bit dim just moments ago, but suddenly felt quite sharp.
“Right. Good work.”
I put my arm around Aro’s shoulder.
“Aro, I actually believed in you.”
〔Thank you.〕
“Is there anything you need?”
〔Building a hotel that can provide better service would help with profit generation and the shop’s reputation.〕

Kate – S Fucking gorgeous. Sometimes when she goes on her righteous rampages, she devours screen time like crazy, but even when she’s with others, she doesn’t get overshadowed and actually shines brighter. Her combat power doesn’t bow to Kang Hyeon either. She’s kindly teaching ignorant viewers what a Destroyer is every episode. Ryu Yeon-hwa – A They were having fun among themselves in the West, but got swept up in the natural disaster that is Seol Kang Hyeon. She’s B+ but I’m giving her A because I feel bad. Kim Du-gyeom – FFF Just a fucking idiot lol. I was amazed when he suddenly appeared, but he just got roasted by Seol Ha-woon and became background. I can see why they didn’t edit it out. Showing incompetent Gyeom as is made him look even more pathetic and gave more catharsis. Seo Ji-woo – A+ Fucking gorgeous 2. She’s grabbing the East by the collar and dragging it forward when it was about to get buried by the West. A visual that would slap most actors across the face. And her luck is fucking hilarious. Whatever she draws, she only gets good stuff, and when she checks her fortune 10 times on the street, 8 are great fortune – does that even make sense? Lee Jun-ho – A+ He’s not showing that legendary human butcher form from the Plaza Labyrinth when he slaughtered all the Labyrinth People during the Situation Labyrinth. Of course, if he showed that form in this World, he’d be a psychopath, but still, he was so legendary back then that it feels a bit disappointing lately. I wonder if he’ll show us one more rage scene. Still, he’s practically leading the East. He’s consistently hitting above average. But the West is just too overwhelming. Kang Hyeon – SS He had the most screen time in this World. Less impact than the real righteous one, but feels like he appears a bit longer? It was fucking cool from the scene where he and the real righteous one showed mutual respect, and when they dueled, it was just pure chills. He won against the real righteous one in the latter half, but it felt like he lost the overall battle, so SS. Seol Ha-woon – SSS How did 96th place get this far… A performance that shut up all the righteous bastards. It felt like he coolly showed what the ‘peak’ that high-ranker Kim Se-jin mentioned was like. His urban warfare performance was fucking amazing, when he dueled with Kang Hyeon it was fucking insane, and his legendary judgment of being the only one from start to finish who didn’t trust the Seer and stayed suspicious. The ending felt like lightning struck my head. There’s anticipation that he’ll explode with something more in this Labyrinth. If it weren’t for that one guy below, this episode would have been GOAT… GOAT – Seer The GOAT of episode 9 is this guy. He’s an NPC but I think everyone would agree. I literally couldn’t breathe watching the sequence where he realizes he’s a Labyrinth Person. GOAT among all NPCs in all seasons of Labyrinth Exploration. Episode 9 GOAT. Fucking god Seer GOAT…
Labyrinth Exploration NaN.
The whole world is Mitamnan.
Looking down at the ground from a penthouse in a luxury mixed-use complex, there’s Labyrinth Exploration NaN on outdoor billboards.
The smartphone screens of people walking on the street also show Labyrinth Exploration NaN.
Sometimes when I take the subway, everyone sitting and standing, seven out of ten are watching Labyrinth Exploration NaN related videos. Whether it’s YouTube videos speculating about Mitamnan cast members, Mitamnan reruns, highlight scenes, whatever.
In department stores there are Kang Hyeon and Lee Jun-ho wearing clothes they’ve never actually worn, and on Everland billboards Seol Ha-woon says ‘Everland is always right.’
Kim Yoon-jun, Mitamnan’s mentor, also felt the impact.
‘Oh Mentor! Mentor!’
‘Mentor! I’m a fan!’
Whenever he goes to any schedule including Mitamnan, everyone calls him mentor. Not high-ranker, Warrior, or Kim Yoon-jun the sword master of Murim’s Volcano sect, but Mentor Kim Yoon-jun.
At first, Kim Yoon-jun might have just felt good. Money and fame poured in without having to explore Labyrinths.
The appearance fees for just one variety show, single lecture fees, and sword training fees were enormous.
But at some point, his conscience began to raise its head.
It wasn’t just the level of awareness that he was ‘earning money too easily.’
Something was wrong.
It was a problem with the program itself.
In the deeper parts of Mitamnan, at its very bottom, there lurked a vague but certain ‘rift.’
“…”
Kim Yoon-jun sat on a dark sofa looking at his smartphone.
│Labyrinth Exploration NaN surpasses 300,000 first-day audience… Mitamnan effect spreading from homes to theaters?│
│Enthusiastic response to surprise stage greeting… Booking rush│
│Seer and Seol Ha-woon, Seol Ha-woon and Kang Hyeon, examining the center of the narrative…│
│Why was only Seol Ha-woon not deceived?│
Thud. He put down his smartphone and picked up documents from the table.
Someone’s profile. An empty resume with only a front-facing photo and recorded family relations.
Kang Hyeon.
“…What kind of secret.”
His father, Kang Yoon-seok.
“Do you have.”
Hallucination. Or illusion.
If not that, then magic.
Kim Yoon-jun definitely had memories of meeting Kang Hyeon’s father. Such memories existed in his head. In these documents too, and in other people’s memories, Kang Hyeon’s father existed.
However…
“Why does this eye say you’re not someone who exists.”
Kim Yoon-jun placed his hand over his right eye.
An eye transplanted from a friend who died long ago.
That eye, the magic of his old friend reflected in the eyeball, was warning him.
That Kang Hyeon’s father was someone who ‘doesn’t exist.’ At least, someone who ‘doesn’t exist’ in this world…
