When he went outside, Tsutomu received a few stares as if he were a criminal on the road. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　When you arrive at the guild early in the morning, the number of searchers inside is smaller than usual, but all of the searchers are reflected in the more than fifty monitors. The few explorers could only see them from a distance and were not poked and prodded by the few explorers, Tsutomu was taken by Garum into the back of the reception area.

　Further back in the reception room he had entered the other day. He stopped once in front of the door where two guardians wearing the same indigo uniform as Garum were sitting with a stern look on their faces.


'Tell the Guild Chief that I have arrived.


　After checking Garum's face and the gold badge on his chest, the gatekeeper nodded, then opened the door and preceded him in. And soon the gatekeeper returned.


'Enter.'


　A dignified, clear voice prompted him. I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you. The red carpet on the floor is covered with a red carpet, and there are a number of shimmering medals on the wall. There were also various other magical tools that had been passed down through the generations.

　And in front of the desk in the room, a mature woman wearing an indigo-colored uniform was standing with her hands clasped behind her back. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of work of art.


What's the matter?　Have a seat.


　Her flaming red hair, which reached to her waist, was tucked into a bun behind her, and she pointed her scorching-scaled hands at the chair with a backrest in front of Tsutomu. The red scales stick thinly to her dignified face, which seems to embody her confidence, as well as the red scales that cover her outline (rinkaku).

　There was a woman named Absolute Camille, a divine dragonborn who is said to have greater abilities than any other dragonborn (dragonet).

　Tsutomu sat down on a chair with a fearful look on his face, and Garum followed suit. After confirming this, Camille also sat down.


''First, let me introduce myself. I am the head of this guild, Absolute Camille. You can call me Camille if you want. It's a pleasure to meet you.


　Camille, who gave an impromptu smile, then turned her palm toward him as if to ask Tsutomu to introduce himself. Tsutomu spoke up even though his fists on his knees were almost trembling.


'It's nice to meet you. My name is Tsutomu. It's nice to meet you.'
'Garum told me about you. I heard that you broke through the 50th level at level 20. And I've also heard from the two of you that you were able to break through the ranks thanks to the plan you devised. I'm sure that the power you have achieved in just one month is something I would like to see you continue to wield in this guild.
I'm sorry, sir.


　Hearing Tsutomu's use of words interrupted Camille's thoughts for a moment, but she quickly switched and then opened her desk drawer.


'But unfortunately, that's not the only reason I called you out this time. You would have been shown to Garum, too, about this article.


　Camille pulled a newspaper from a drawer and placed it on the desk. Camille squeezed the newspaper with one hand and then sat up.


'The guild that went through the Solitte company for this case, and I, as the chief, am to blame. And I, as the head of the company, am to blame. Truly, I'm sorry.


　She got up from her chair, apologized to Tsutomu, and hung her head deeply. Tsutomu paused in thought for a moment and then hurriedly tried to get up, but Garum grabbed him by the shoulders with one hand and pushed him back.

　After turning his attention to Garum, Tsutomu turned his head forward, and a few seconds later Camille didn't look up. Tsutomu mouthed a little panicked.


''It's the Solit Company that's at fault. There's no need for the Guild to apologize.''
'People's signatures and bribes. After taking that into account, I'm also responsible for going through the Solit company, optimistic that the interviews would be led by Garum and Amy. You drew a gold treasure chest and produced enormous profits for the guild, and even paid off the walls of Garm and Amy. I've ended up forcing such a disgrace on you again. Please accept my apology.
...this boss and this subordinate.


　Tsutomu's cheeks loosened a little amused as he saw the vision of Garum to Camille, who still had her head down.


''I have accepted the apology from the guild leader. I have no particular feelings for the guild, so please raise your head.''
'Right. I appreciate it.


　When Camille finally raised her head, Tsutomu breathed a sigh of relief. It was unbearable for Tsutomu to make her bow her head, as she was radiating an air of nobility.


I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this," he said, "but I'm going to do my best to get the contents of this article corrected first. It will take some time, but I will make sure that this article is corrected. Then I will transfer the bribe money from Sollitte to you in full. That's the default so far. The problem is with Amy...
'Oh, Amy, you can leave the PT until the ruckus is over. I don't think there's anything in it for either of us.
'Thanks for talking so quickly. But have you got a replacement PT member available?


　Tsutomu's mouth tightened in annoyance as Camille sat down in her chair and placed both elbows on the desk. Therein lies the problem. Replenishing the person who would take her place.


''I honestly don't think we'll be able to find one. If there's someone in the guild who's convenient, please introduce me to them if you can.''
You're a hard man to pick to replace Amy. But I've got a couple of people for you.


　Tsutomu hadn't asked the guild to recruit members yet, but it didn't seem to Tsutomu that a good person would come even if he asked now. So, since he was expecting to dive with Garum in the worst case scenario, Tsutomu was relieved by Camille's words.


'Perhaps the only person who could take Amy's place would be me or the deputy guild leader. It's about time for the Deputy Guild Chief to get some experience in this position. I will join your PT in Amy's place.
Huh?


　Contrary to Camille, the head of the guild, who smiled cheerfully and got up from her seat, Tsutomu's expression froze as if he had stopped thinking.


　--Oooh--


　There was more of a buzz than usual in the guild. The head of the guild declared his temporary retirement. And the former head of the guild who made that declaration is calmly using the cafeteria in the guild. Camille, Garum and Tsutomu are sitting around a round table.


''Oh no. It's really a long time since I've used this place. ''Ha-ha.''
Camille.
"Hey Garm. We'll be equal PT members from today, right?　How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want respect?
'Don't be ridiculous...'


　Camille popped Garum's back, who was already flinching and his dog ears were shrinking. Tsutomu managed to elicit an affectionate smile at the situation.

　The story goes on at a brisk pace, and Camille joins Tsutomu's PT as Amy's replacement. After that, she waited for someone to be sent from the security group headquarters to be there, but instead a newcomer in brand new clothes arrived stiffly and nervously.

　When the newcomer, who said he had left Garum a message from the guard corps headquarters, told him the contents of the message, Garum let out a single sigh, saying he was stunned. The content of the message was that Amy was beating up on the Solit company and that the headquarters was on its way to quell the commotion and couldn't spare the guild.

　So Tsutomu's interview was put off. After that, it was suggested by Camille to deepen our unity as a PT, and that's what we're doing now.


''Ah, then, Camille-san. Can I see your status card?
You can call me whatever you want.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with calling someone older than me by their name.


　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. She lightly held her mouth in an amused manner.


'Tsutomu is the PT leader, right?　It doesn't matter how old you are in PT. Members follow their leaders.
'Then I'm appointing Camille-san as PT leader.
I wrote a contract for such an occasion. It firmly states that Tsutomu will be the leader of the PT. If this is broken, I'll have to leave the PT. I'm looking forward to working with you, leader?
''Can't we ask the deputy guild leader to do it? It seems more painful than when Garum-san is being poisoned by the swamp.


　When Tsutomu looked at the fidgety and restless Garum and said that, Camille turned back to Garum. Garum cringes as his eyes are turned to her.


''Is that so?''
No, I don't.
Look, he's okay. He must have been thinking about cleaning up after Amy.


　When Tsutomu couldn't help but chuckle at the two of them, reminiscent of wolf society, Camille lowered her sadly set eyebrows.


''But then again, it's been a long time since I've been rejected this much. It's true that they may be less reliable than those from the Red Devil's group, but even with this, I've reached the fifty levels. It shouldn't be that I'm lacking in strength, though.
'No, I think it's a good asset, don't you?
Then it's all good.


　Tsutomu almost held his head in his hands at the grinning Camille, but there was certainly no problem since they seemed to be beyond the fifty levels of strength. Besides, it's not a good idea to be too persistent in requesting a replacement and lose Amy's replacement by spoiling her mood, so Tsutomu let out a small breath.


All right. So, Camille. May I see your status card?
'Oh!　Great!
'Then I'll call off the PT members from now on. Is Garum-san okay?
Oh, oh. I don't mind.


　Tsutomu sighed heavily when he saw Camille, who was very amused by Galum's behavior, and looked at Camille's status card handed to him by the beautiful receptionist.

　Her level is 67; her status is one step above Garum and Amy. Her job is a great swordsman. And Tsutomu, who read out the skill group, saw one unfamiliar character.


''What is this, what is this dragonization?　I've never seen that before.
'It's a unique skill of mine. Using it raises almost all stats for a certain amount of time.
'Unique skills........huh!　That's awesome.
'But when you use it, your instincts take over and you become a little slow in your thinking. It's a skill I try not to use blindly because it makes me a little disorientated.
"Ho ho!


　Tsutomu listens to Camille's story while leaning forward at a skill he didn't know he had. This makes Camille feel better and she continues to talk while holding her nose high.


You can also grow wings from your back and fly. And you can spit out breath.
'Oh!　I mean, is dragonization still in human form?
''If I could become a dragon, I might be able to cross the sixty levels. And even if you can fly, you can't fly as fast or as long as a fire dragon.
''No, it's still a good skill. For now, I'd like to see the dragonization, so let's dive into the dungeon and coordinate our movements.


　Camille was satisfied with Tsutomu's statement, and Garum nodded curtly.
