Snippet #2742863

Akira was quick to dark through the people who seemed confused and around the corner into the system of side streets and alleys the scream had come from. There was also a sound of something growling as well, something that sounded angry...or hungry, and it was not something that Akira wanted to hear. As he turned another corner, he finally saw it. There was a girl, collapsed and fainted on the ground. And standing over her was...

"A Minotaur?"

It was definently a Minotaur, a beast of legend and magic. Something dangerous to look out for. But Akira could sense it already. It was a strong and dangerous monster, it was definently a threat to them, but...it was not a Servant. Which meant that this was just some random monster...that appeared inside a city for no apparent reason, inside this back alley...

"No wait..."

Akira failed to notice it earlier but he stepped backwards while keeping the Minotaur in his sight and glanced to his side. Surely enough, the path he had taken before to enter...it was gone. In other words...

"This...its a Labyrinth?"

A Labyrinth, it appeared that the back street he had run into was actually an entrance to a Labyrinth. He did not really understand why this had happened, but that was what apparently did happen. Even a Servant would be pretty screwed to face a Minotaur inside a Labyrinth, and depending on the strength of the Labyrinth, potentially even multiple Servants would face trouble. And they had not been summoned at the full strength normal Servants would.

"...it's a good thing I know a thing or two about escapes".

Akira mentioned that as he took out a marble, and dropped it into the ground. It glowed a bright glow, as it absorbed itself into the ground and then suddenly, the Labyrinth that he (they) had been trapped in broke.

It was only when he did this that he finally noticed that the woman from before had followed him. Sometimes he had a bad habit of focusing only on one thing, even if he was usually pretty good on not letting it show in a crisis.

"Well...this is good. I really didn't like the odds even now that the Labyrinth is gone on fighting it alone. It does not feel like we were summoned to the full power Servants normally should, but I really don't want to have a Minotaur running around while I am on vacation. Mind lending me a hand?"

He asked that, trying to sound cool but in fact extremely nervous on if she would help him or just wait to stab him in the back. He hoped she was nicer and more honorable like that, and not something like an evil Demon King or whatever.
