This ones a proper TL of some sorts, with a lot of editing required but is now readable. Moving on...
[A certain guard (of the princess's) perspective: the 166th Day ]
A few days ago, the princess started to become unaturally obsessed with the idea of going to the labyrinth with Aporou.
We are guards who rarely struggle with the unexpected behavior of the princess after getting used to them (not easy) although, I thought that this time her wishes were very welcome. Why?
Because I thought that I wanted to dive in a labyrinth from a long time ago.
The opportunity to go to the labyrinth where we could not dive due to permission of the house or circumstances of work so far had barred us from even dreaming about it...
For guards, it is possible to enter by working close to there for some time (and by that, years)
Luckily, I was a candidate to follow her whims.
Very thankfully, we could have a good time off of being the princess' s escort because Aporou - sama's measure, and I and my colleagues could dive in the labyrinth using that time.
And I challenged my labyrinth of wishfully, and I realized that the labyrinth is wonderful as well.
The heavy air like that creamy skin, the signs of dungeon monsters lurking in the surroundings, the slightly remaining odor of blood, the sound of the hearing noise and the high concentration magical power mixed in the surrounding space.
For places in which to train yourself, a dungeon is simply the best there is.
This time, I went along with my colleagues, enjoyed the labyrinth and leveled up twice, so I got back to home quite satisfactorily, but today I experienced a very strange thing.
Probably because of the time training under the guidance of Aporou-sama, we could easily outmatch our other colleagues in training back at work (?)
For some reason the opponent 's attacks looked slower than before and I did not struggle to stop the attack, I was rather confused by the lightness of the attacks.
It is also easy to force open their defenses and my attack speed seems to be higher than before.
This applied not only to me, but also for other colleagues.
To put it more precisely, those who went as escorts to the labyrinth had grown much stronger.
For the effort spent, the results were extraordinary.
With our guards training, there are few things that can be divided beautifully so far.
There is certainly a compatibility depending on individual styles, there are certainly rankings due to superiority and skill of skills, but because we do not have a big difference in total fighting ability.
There is the ability to be able to fight to some extent even to the partner who victory or defeat depending on the condition at that time and the characteristics of the battlefield, even the partner who is not compatible.
Us guards aren't weak by (human) standards.
However, as clear differences between us appeared, I couldn't help but cast my head in doubt.
Because of that, I investigated, but eventually I did not know the cause?
It was thought that because the level rose, but at most it was by "1" or "2".
It surely strengthens the ability, but it does not rise dramatically to that extent.
Strengthening by raising the level is only within the range of error if it is in the current stage. It is unlikely that this is the cause.
Even though it is derived from other things, it seems to be due to dive in the labyrinth, but its possibility is also likely to be low.
I've never heard that just by diving to the dungeons such a difference could be made.
If the cause of the competence of this time is dive in the labyrinth, the labyrinth that dramatic difference will occur so far, although it is restrictive as it is now, is open to the public in general That is strange.
Afraid of being revolutionized by herbs, it is appropriate that the time magistrate monopolizes everything in the labyrinth.
But that's not the case.
Those who dive in the labyrinth will surely become stronger quickly, but there is no dramatic increase in strength to that extent.
Therefore, this is also different.
Although I did not know exactly what this difference was in this survey, I personally think that Aporou is suspicious.
Any sort of noticeable difference in such a short gap of time is bound to be suspicious business..
...... Fuu. No, there is not such thing in the drift. Thoughts must be leaping too fast. (TL: Whoa what the )
Just being in the vicinity, we can strengthen people like us or under the guard and those who are like it so far, I can not make it apocaly like running water.
It is impossible to have such a sense of common sensibility.
There are stories that the companions of heroes tend to be stronger than usual, but I have never heard such a drastic difference so far, which i'm guessing is due to the influence of a certain dark lord..
...... These thoughts are suicidal, aren't they?
 ……that? I can not afford, I can not affirm ... ....
- Corrective effect that exerts on the surrounding only by existence seems to be big.

【とある衛兵視点：百六十六日目】
　数日前、姫様がアポ朗様と一緒に迷宮都市へ行く、と言い始めた。
　衛兵である私達は姫様の予想外の行動に苦労する事は稀に、いやそこそこの頻度で、いやいや本当は多々あったりするが、個人的には今回のような行動ならば大歓迎だった。
　というのも、私は以前から迷宮に潜りたい、と思っていたからだ。
　これまでは家の許可や仕事の都合上潜る事はできなかった迷宮に行く機会が、向こうから転がってきた。
　比較的近い場所にあるというのに衛兵に選ばれて早数年、何だかんだとあって行く事もなかったそこに行ける、となれば姫様の護衛として自ら名乗りを上げない訳がない。
　立候補した事で比較的容易に護衛役として随行する事を許された訳だが、四六時中姫様の護衛をしていた訳ではない。
　非常にありがたい事に、アポ朗様の計らいによって姫様の護衛をしなくても良い時間ができ、その時間を使って私や同僚達は迷宮に潜る事が出来た。
　そして念願の迷宮に挑戦し、やはり迷宮は素晴らしい、と実感できた。
　あの肌が粟立つ様な重苦しい空気、周囲に潜むダンジョンモンスターの気配、僅かに残る血臭、聞こえてくる騒乱の音、周囲の空間に混ざる高濃度の魔力。
　自らを鍛える場として、これ程いいものはないだろう。
　今回は同僚達と共に潜り、迷宮を堪能すると共にレベルが“２”も上がったので、かなり満足して帰還した訳だが、今日、とても不思議な事を体験した。
　というのも、アポ朗様の指導の下で行われた訓練の時に、同僚達との模擬戦で、相手を容易く打倒できてしまったのだ。
　何故か相手の攻撃が以前よりもよく見えたし、攻撃を受け止めるのにも然程苦労せず、むしろその攻撃の軽さに困惑を覚えた。
　また厚い防御を強引にこじ開けるのも以前より容易になり、攻撃速度も以前より上昇している様である。
　これは私だけではなく、他の同僚達でも起こった事だった。
　より正確に言えば、私の様に護衛として迷宮都市に行ったモノは、王都に残った者よりも明確に強くなっていた、となる。
　これは少々どころではなく、かなり異常な事だった。
　私達衛兵同士の訓練で、ここまで綺麗に分かれる事はほとんどない。
　というのも、個々のスタイルによって相性は確かに存在するし、技能の優劣や実力による序列は確かにあるが、しかし私達は総合的な戦闘能力に大きな差がある訳ではないからだ。
　その時の調子や戦場の特性などによって勝敗は変動するモノの、例え相性の悪い相手でもある程度は善戦できる実力がある。
　アッサリとヤられるほど、私達衛兵は弱兵ではない。
　しかし、こうも明確な差として現れると、小首をかしげずにはいられない。
　その為色々と調べられたが、結局原因はよく分からなかった。
　レベルが上昇したからか、とも考えられたが、せいぜい“１”か“２”上がった程度の事。
　確かに能力の強化はされるが、しかしそこまで飛躍的に上がる訳ではない。
　レベル上昇による強化は、今の段階だと誤差の範囲内でしかないだろう。これが原因とは考え難い。
　他には派生とはいえ迷宮に潜ったからか、とも考えられるが、その可能性も低そうだ。
　ただの一度潜っただけでこうまで差が出るなど、聞いた事も無い。
　仮に今回の力量差の原因が迷宮に潜った事だとしたら、潜った者と潜らない者、その間にここまで劇的な差が生じる迷宮を、現在の様に限定的とはいえ一般に開放しているのは変である。
　民草に革命を起こされるのを恐れ、時の為政者は迷宮の全てを独占する、という事があって然るべきだろう。
　だがそんな事はない。
　確かに迷宮に潜る者は早く強くなり易いが、そこまで劇的に強さを増す事はない。
　だから、これも違うだろう。
　今回の調査でこの差がなんなのか判明する事はなかったが、個人的にはアポ朗様が怪しいな、と思っている。
　普段の違いを出すなら、アポ朗様達が居るか居ないか、という考えもあるのではないだろうか。
　……ふぅ。いやいや、流石にそんな事はないか。思考が飛躍しすぎているに違いない。
　ただ近くにいるだけで、ここまで身内あるいは手下やそれに準じる者達を強化できるなど、流石のアポ朗様とてできまいて。
　そんな常識外れの能力など、有り得ない。
　【勇者】様や【英雄】様がたの仲間は普通よりも強くなり易いという話もありますが、ここまで劇的な話など聞いた事もありません。
　だからアポ朗様とて……
　……有り得ない、よね？
　……あれ？　有り得ない、とも断言できない様な……。
　・存在するだけで周囲に及ぼす補正効果は大きい模様。
　・後日、物陰に集まって鍛え直す残留組な衛兵達の目撃情報有り。
　・貴方の実力は、本当に貴方だけの力で得たモノなのでしょうか。
