Book excerpt: Hajime's party has reached the final labyrinth, a realm of frozen peril underneath bitter snowfields. Inside, each one of them will be forced to confront a shadow of themselves: a manifestation of their own shortcomings and inner darkness. This all sounds very heroic, but let's be real, this is going to be ridiculous. Just how many people have the hots for Hajime, anyway?! The competition for his love is only getting more intense in this zany companion to Arifureta!
