...... Kanami.

　He had just finished his vigilance duties, joined the group taking a nap, and was about to put his eyes down when he was called out. Before he knew it, Snow was sitting next to him, looking exhausted.

'What's wrong?'
I'm tired of ....... I'm so tired. I'm soooo tired.
That's what work is all about. You're tired.

　I take a drink out of my 'belongings' and hand it to Snow as I work her over.

'...... Next time you come forward with me. Please.

　Snow pleaded in a weak tone as she accepted her drink.

'Me?　But Mr. Siddharth won't be convinced, will he?
...... doesn't matter. I prefer to be with Kanami.
Isn't that just to make my job easier for you?　This isn't just a job for my people. You can't change your post for that reason.
...... and I don't want it to be easy.
But that doesn't make it any less arbitrary. Can't you just put up with it for one day?
I'm sorry about ....... But I still want you to stay. I'd rather be next to Kanami.

　Snow stubbornly asked me to accompany him.
　I was suspicious and asked Snow in a small voice.

'Do you dislike Siddharth so much?
'It's a little different than hating ....... Very troublesome.
'If it's too much trouble, just do what you always do. It's your ego that's making you uncomfortable. I'm sure he'll understand.
I can't deal with ...... weird. Even if he doesn't get mad at you, he'll get mad at the people at home. That would be more trouble.

　Apparently, there is a family situation involved. Since the engagement is fixed, it might be an embarrassment to the house if I despise that person.

''The trouble won't change if I'm there, will it?
...... It's still a hassle, but it's calming. I feel safe.
Of course, I'll make sure you're safe in the fight.
...... anyway, please.

　Snow continued to plead with an earnest expression on her face.
　I could only nod my head in front of that desperate look.

''Okay. If you're going to go that far, then I will.''
...... good.

　Snow saw me nod, and she meditated.
　As it was, he began to breathe in his sleep and leaned against me.

　Thinking it would be tasteless about people's eyes, I took a blanket out of my 'belongings' and used it as Snow's pillow. Then I sat down in a gym seat a little farther away from Snow and took a break.

　Snow is feeling very overwhelmed.
　If possible, I would have liked him to get over this on his own, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way.
　Instead of growing up, she came back with a broken heart. She seems to be brazen, but she's actually just found out that she's a weak person to the core.

　Once I found out, I couldn't do it anymore.
　I decide to help Snow today, and I'm going to get my nap back.


◆◆◆◆◆ ...


　A few hours later, after finishing the construction of the 10th level, the group started to head to the 20th level.
　I'm relieved that they didn't notice the existence of the Connection until the end. Maybe that thing is more difficult to detect than I thought.

　As we head to the 11th level, some changes in formation are made.
　Of course, the de facto leader of the group, Siddaruk-san, decides. His eye for people is sure and his tactical eye is keen. No one tried to interrupt him to complain. --except for Snow.

''--Elle, could you place Kanami forward as well?
'Guildmaster of the 'Epic Seeker' forward?　From my information, he should have been a wizard who specialized in sensing and freezing magic. Then the center or rear of the camp would be suitable.

　It was an accurate decision that I couldn't even begin to imagine.
　My true value would be in the center or the rear, where I can follow everyone. He has a firm grasp on the information of me, who has only been active in the guild for a few days.
　Siddaruk-san's ability to gather and analyze information was understood with just a few words now.

''No, Kanami doesn't just do that. He can even use a sword.''
'Of course, I know that too. But I've heard that your specialty is magic.
'That is misinformation. Without a doubt, Kanami's sword is first class. Besides, he's a force to be reckoned with when paired with me.
'...... All right. If you're going to go that far, you can place it forward for now. But we'll make the change sooner rather than later, depending on the outcome and circumstances.
Thank you.

　Mr. Siddharth convinced Snow to allow me to join the race.
　However, rather than being convinced, it looks like he was just showing his generosity.

　The way we crossed paths, Siddharth threw a stern word.

'If you cause even the slightest inconvenience to others, you will be asked to step back at once.
Okay, I'll do my best. I'll do my best.

　I return with bland words.

'Hmm ....... If you're just another guildmaster, don't take advantage of Snow, just do what you want on your own terms.

　However, Mr. Siddharth's impression of me was getting worse. Apparently, it looked like I had given my opinion through Snow.

　I thought there was no excuse for this, so I kept my mouth shut. As I look away from Siddharth, who is at the front of the line, Snow gives me a frustrated look next to him.

'...... Kanami's slacker,'
'Yeah, yeah ....... What was that now?
...... all.
'There's nothing to be gained by bickering with someone as honest as Mr. Siddharth. What does Snow want to do by firing me up?
...... Is that sincere?

　I take Snow's hand and move forward.

　Then the second half of the battle begins.
　The battle with the monsters was immediate.

　Unlike the rear, the front has more battles.
　Because of the long lines, it was easy for the enemy to find you, and you would be attacked by the enemy many times more than a normal search. The speed of the march is also slower, and you'll understand how difficult it is to search for large numbers of people.

　However, Mr. Siddharth was able to perform that highly difficult task perfectly.
　He certainly had the capacity to stand above others. His personality and abilities were the same, but more than anything else, his position helped with that.

　However, he seemed to be trapped in that position, and I felt a little bit in danger.

　I did as Siddharq-san instructed and swung my sword.
　I didn't miss the change in Siddaruk-san's expression as I killed the monster that attacked me with a single sword. It would be helpful if you could revise your rating on this, though: .......

　And, sure enough, Snow starts skipping in my shadow.
　He continues to fight behind me to hide from Siddharq-san's eyes.
　She was still the same. My plan to get Snow and Siddharth to interact and rehabilitate Ms. Siddharth was now completely over.

　As I moved through the layers, the number of monsters trying to cross the 'right path' increased.
　Sometimes the monsters of the group would attack us.

　I was more concerned about the possibility that I was going to be attacked than anyone else. I don't mean to be conceited, but when it comes to simple fighting skills, I'm the best at this. The more I fight, the less risk there is overall.

　When the monster's head has been dropped nearly ten times, Siddaruk-san calls out to me.

''It was Aikawa Kanami, wasn't it ....... You haven't tried to use your magic since earlier, are you a swordsman?
'No, I'm a wizard. I'm also good with a sword. ......
''That Palinclone has just entrusted me with the guild mastership. I underestimated him as a countryman, but he seems to be reasonably competent.
No, I'm not even close.
...... I hate that kind of humility. It sounds sarcastic. If you're one of the higher ups, shouldn't you have more dignity?
'...... Sorry. That's just the way I am.
'Why do you apologize there. Thanks, I don't think I'm going to fit in with you: ......

　They seemed to appreciate my competence, but they didn't like my personality.

　I'm not averse to people like Siddharth, who have strength that I don't have, so I was a little disappointed. However, it would be counterproductive to say it out loud. Without saying anything, I followed behind Mr. Siddharq. And observe everything he does.

　It's to learn how he behaves as a guild master. I'm not trying to imitate him, but it's not a bad thing to watch and learn how a different guildmaster does things.

　While observing the way Siddharq-san gives instructions, he also intercepts the enemies that attack him.
　In addition, I would also pay attention to Snow and Teyri-san with Dimension. In the current me, that parallel work was not difficult.

　After advancing through the layers and reaching the 16th layer, the members began to show signs of fatigue.
　The speed of the march is visibly slowing down, and the faces of many of them are becoming darker.

　Then Siddharth's encouragement flies in.

'--Gentlemen, we're almost there!　I believe that someone as good as you guys can pull it off!

　He blasts off to get back into the swing of things, but there are times when words alone won't do the trick. So conveniently, morale is not boosted.

　Mr. Siddharth resumes his march with an impatient look on his face, paying attention to the whole thing.
　In order to follow him, I always stayed close by to follow him. Siddaruk-san noticed this and inexplicably called out to me.

'Are you not tired ......?'
I'm fine. If you need anything else, feel free to use it.
...... Don't lick me. I won't rely on you for anything. It's the other way around. I'll protect us all.
'I see. ......'

　My fears seemed to have the opposite effect.

　Little by little, I'm beginning to understand Mr. Siddharth.
　He is governed by an unusual sense of responsibility. Perhaps it's a rule dictated by birth. And he has spent his adolescence bound by that control, and has constructed a biased value system. It wasn't something that was entirely unconscionable to me.

　Mr. Siddharth continues to walk at the front of the pack, letting his sense of responsibility control him. As I watched him behind him, I spotted a group of monsters within the range of the Dimension.
　I hurriedly report that information to Siddharq-san.

''Siddaruk-san, if we continue on like this, we will collide with a group of monsters. It's better to change the direction of travel once and get away from the 'correct path'.
What did you say?　...... Come to think of it, you can use sensing magic. Is that true?
Yeah, it's true. We have a bunch of bug monsters headed our way.
No, I'm not changing direction. We're eating up more time than we had planned. We can't afford to lose any more time.
'But if we continue to hit them, the damage will be extensive. Better to put safety before time. ......
You said the monster was an insectoid. Then you'll be fine. I can wipe them out with my magic: ......!

　I probably shouldn't have told them what kind of monster it was.
　If they were dealing with insects, they thought they could use magic to deal with them. And Siddalk-san seems to be a wizard who can do that.

　I had a bad feeling about this.
　Looking at him, I couldn't remember anyone - it seemed like I could, but I couldn't.
　I feel like I know a very stupid 'someone' .......　

'I disagree. It's dangerous, and even if you succeed, it will cost you dearly.
That's why I'm telling you not to lick me, it's nothing more than a sixteen-layered herd.
............

　They don't seem to be listening.
　As long as all power is in Siddharq-san's hands, it seems that he will have no choice but to accept an encounter with the herd.

　In preparation for the time to come, Siddharth prepared for the time to come and built up the magic inside his body.
　I use Dimension to understand the movements of the flock and tell him in detail the timing of the encounter. That was the least I could do.
　And then the time comes.

"--Muh, a swarm!　There's a bunch of monsters out there!

　One of the swordsmen stationed in front of them shouts out in panic in front of the hordes that have appeared.
　That voice causes all of the members of the group to be upset.

　Those who have experience in exploring the labyrinth know how terrifying the swarm can be.
　It's something you must avoid when you don't have the time to spare.

　However, for me and Siddaruk-san, it's within the expected range.
　I leave the members in a hurry and calmly build up my magic.

''Siddharq-san, please draw them in as much as possible before shooting them.
You don't have to tell me!　-- 'Pay all things', 'Burn all things', 'Rule all things'!

　It was a precise, yet powerful magic construction.
　Just before the swarm made contact with the line, Siddaruk-san's magic was completed.

''--【Flame Blast】!

　A torrent of fire was released from Siddharq-san.
　Its momentum was tremendous, engulfing the entire crowd of 16 layers of monsters.

　Most importantly, it had good magical compatibility with the enemy monsters. The insect-type monsters, whose weakness was fire, were scorched to death by the clinging flames.

　Although I burned a few of the monsters, I dealt with them with my sword, as I knew that with Dimension. Thus, I succeed in annihilating the crowd of monsters in a matter of seconds.

''Oh, oh ......!　It's as good as Lord Siddharth!
You can count on your leader to be reliable: ......
The herd was instantly ......, thank goodness ......!

　The members squeal with delight as the threat is gone in an instant.

'Kukka ......'

　However, on the other hand, Siddaruk-san's expression looks painful.
　Probably, he has squeezed out his MP with the magic he has just used. He is sweating like a ball and breathing wildly. Still, he doesn't try to rest.

　He quickly catches his breath, adjusts his contorted face and screams.

Everybody!　It's okay!　Whatever enemy comes, I will defeat it!　Slowly, little by little, let's get to the 20th layer!

　Mr. Siddharth takes a chance and inspires the whole group.
　Seeing the members' faces light up, Mr. Siddharth looks forward and returns to his distressed face.

　I, standing next to him, could clearly see the pain.

''Are you okay?''
It's nothing to worry about. It's an unnecessary worry. ...... But the sensing spell you used earlier was brilliant. If it wasn't for your knowledge of the enemy and your ability to time the game, it wouldn't have worked as well as it did. Thank you.
No, no, no, I don't need to tell you that Monsieur Siddharth is looking a bit pale...
He says it's not a problem: ......!

　Even the voice that interrupted my words was weak.
　There's no doubt that he's used up all his power with his current magic. But his pride doesn't seem to allow him to help me.

　I can only watch Siddharth, who is walking at the front of the pack, and follow behind him.

　As I walk, my mind is not at peace.
　Mr. Siddharth would not take any help from anyone to protect the authority of his family. I don't like the Siddaruk family for letting him do so. It's the same with the Walker family that makes Snow's face glaze over.

　This whole aristocracy thing makes me a little bit angry.
　Naturally, my impression of the four major aristocracies became quite bad.

　And I had four more layers to go before I reached my goal of 20 layers.
　I proceeded through the labyrinth, feeling uneasy about the future.


◆◆◆◆◆


　My fears were spot on.

　During the sixteenth and seventeenth layers, there were few enemy raids and there were no problems.
　Although fatigue was certainly building up, the eradication of the flock had kept the overall morale high. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that things were going well.

　However, as they were advancing through the 18th layer, they again detected the herd in the direction of their progress.
　I gritted my teeth at the bad luck of this one line.

'Well, this is not good. There's a herd again.
d*mn, what the hell. ......

　I report to him, and Siddharth also confirms it evasively.

'Mr. Siddharth, let's avoid it this time,'
'No, I won't go far. If you go past the scheduled time, you'll be able to get to my evaluation - the Siddharth family's evaluation of ......!
But I don't know what to do.
"This time I will eradicate it again ....... I will not change the direction of travel ......!
'It's reckless. I'm already over the limit, Mr. Siddharq. The members are tired, but not as tired as you are.
Don't lick me!　I said no problem!　I'm leading the charge, and I'm going to get this job done perfectly!

　I am sure that Mr. Siddharth will fight the herd, no matter what I say.
　He will never allow his pride to retreat.

　I think about knocking him out and forcing him to rest.
　But if I attack the leader - and that's Siddharq-san, the guild master and four great nobles elsewhere, I'm sure I'll be in big trouble.

　There's no way around it, and I'll help raise the chances of annihilation as much as possible.

''It's a herd of ...... red-furred beasts. We'll encounter them in a few minutes or so.
'The Beast of 18 layers ....... That guy or ......!　Then you can use water-based magic: ......

　At the same time, Mr. Siddharth begins to build magic.
　However, the Dimension teaches him that the magic that Siddaruk-san is building is not encouraging. Although he is squeezing the magic beyond the limit, it is breaking down because he is not in perfect physical condition.

　He won't be able to shoot magic as accurately and powerfully as he did earlier.
　In the first place, a great magic that would annihilate the flock is also not suited to his stature.

　If this is the case, an unfortunate accident will occur.
　Thinking this, I move to the rear where Snow is.

''--Snow, you tell Siddark-san to tell him. Siddharth is trying to fight the flock again. This time it's dangerous.
...... another flock?　...... but whatever it is, I hate it.

　But Snow shook his head.

'Why? If we don't, the job could end in failure. Above all, Mr. Siddharth is in danger.'
...... It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me what happens to Elmiraad Siddharq.

　And he answered briefly why.
　For Snow, neither the job nor Mr. Siddharth's is important to him.

　Seeing Snow's statement without any emotion, I give up on any further urging.

　Leaving Snow behind, I quietly stand back behind Siddharq-san, who is leading the way.
　Siddaruk-san had already started chanting.

''-- 'Swallow the sustenance,' 'Ruin the sustenance,' 'Turn it into sustenance' --'

　Time passes with nothing to be done.

　As the chanting nears its end, the swarm of monsters becomes visible.
　The members in front see the swarm of writhing beasts that have appeared and communicate to the entire group.

''So, there it is!　d*mn it, it's a flock again!　Now it's a pack of red dogs!

　Soon all the members of the group know and turn to their leader, Mr. Siddharq. In response, Siddharq-san shouts.

'Guys, don't worry!　I'm gonna wash it all off!　--Tidal Wave!

　As soon as the magic name is shouted, the magic power around it pulses.
　The compressed magical power is converted into water, and even the water in the air is engulfed.
　The water becomes a swirling torrent that swirls through the air, swells in volume, and finally turns into a tsunami.

　The wall of floods that engulfed the corridor attacked the swarm of monsters that were coming towards us.

　《Tidal Wave》.
　A terrifying magic.
　But what was still not enough, I understood with Dimension.

　With a click of my tongue, I 'gaze' at Siddaruk-san.


[Status]
HP74/193 MP0/299


　Status is the worst.
　The use of extensive magic beyond the limits. The fact that he kept his attention as a leader for nearly twenty hours. And the fact that he had been biding his time and continuing to march in an unreasonable manner. All of this was grinding away at Siddharq-san.

　Probably, Siddaruk-san couldn't move anymore.
　This 《Tidal Wave》 was a magic with his everything on the line.

　In other words, to put it simply, 'The herd will be unable to be eradicated and the leader will be unable to act'.

''Excuse me!　Mr. Siddharth!

　I move alone as the group watches the magical tsunami.
　I hold the wobbling Siddharth with both hands and step back. Siddharth offers feeble resistance, but I carry on regardless.

　My target is Snow.
　Snow is surprised to see me appearing with Siddharth, but I don't care about his situation. But it doesn't matter what Snow's circumstances were, I threw Siddharth to her.

　Snow hurriedly throws away both weapons and catches him.

''Next--!

　I quickly return to the front of the line to see how the Tidal Wave and the swarm of monsters ended up.

　Washing everything away, I slam the red beasts against the wall and it looks like I've been able to eradicate them. But it's not enough. It's still not enough. Simply the amount of water, the momentum - the offensive power is not enough.

　The group that had been shouting with joy at the great magic gradually turned blue in the face.
　This is because the monsters that had fallen under the direct hit of the 《Tidal Wave》 rose up one by one and showed their faces in rage towards us.

　The number of monsters that were almost reaching a hundred were still alive and well.
　And the monsters were laying bare their hostility to the swarm of enemies that had attacked them.

　I 'keep a close eye' on the situation.


[Monster] Flame Wolf: Rank 17.


　First, get the details of the monsters.
　Then, we also check the status of each person in the line.
　We figure out who is at what level, what occupation, and what they are good at, without going overboard.

　And of course, that includes location information.
　I calculate where to find out who is there, who is beside them, and how to produce the greatest synergy.

　I assemble tactics to make sure no one is missing.
　It was a speed of thought beyond human knowledge.
　As I continued to think, sparing even 0.01 seconds of time, I vowed in the end that I wouldn't let him die.

　I'll never let them die. ......!
　No one else--!

　At the same time as I swore, the pale group shouted out.

'No, no!　I can't beat them all!
'I didn't have enough magic attack power!　They're all pimply!
'Why didn't you avoid the herd?　-Crap, don't do this!
"I've got to do it!　Form up, form up!

　They scream and whine, but they all hold their weapons at the ready.
　Thankfully we're not in a state of panic.

　And the Flame Wolves are diving towards us in unison.

　At the same time, I finished assembling my tactics.
　While constructing the magic, I draw my sword at the head of the line.

''-- Magic 《Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)!

　Increase the scope of Dimensional Winter (Di Winter).
　It will target not only you and your enemies, but also your friends.
　The target is your friends. I spread the cold air to all of them.

　And then I shout.

''I'll take the lead!　Everyone please stay calm and intercept the incoming enemy!

　I try to keep my voice easy to pass and tell everyone.
　At the same time, I use 《Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)》 to cool the group's head. If I don't get them to calm down, I can't move on to the next strategy.

　Seeing me shouting loudly at the front, most of the Flame Wolves tried to target me.

　I'm going to swing my sword against the several Flame Wolves that are approaching.
　However, I don't aim for instant death.
　Theoretically, it's impossible for me to defeat nearly 100 monsters in an instant.
　Therefore, I'm aiming for the monster's injuries.

　I didn't swing the sword, I didn't stab it too much, and I slashed at it in a stroking motion.
　I can't kill it, but I can attack more enemies than I can kill.
　That's the goal.

　The elites of the guild who have the skill to do so can toss a wounded Flame Wolf. Defeating the enemy with their own hands would also boost morale. For now, I have to prioritize the efficiency of the whole team, not just mine.

　I'm going to slay the Flame Wolves one by one.
　But there are many who ignore me and drift backwards.

　--The group and the pack finally crossed paths and entered into a melee.

　The explorers readied their weapons and intercepted the Flame Wolf.
　Fortunately, my initial shouting pays off, and many people are able to keep their cool.
　I divide most of my consciousness into the Dimensional Winter (Dee Winter) while dealing with the Flame Wolves that are clinging to me.

　The next target is the water created by Siddharq-san's Tidal Wave.
　Puddles of water have formed all over the corridor. This is a developed version of what happened the other day when I trapped a line skitter on the 14th layer. I used Dimensional Snow, but this time I will use Dimensional Winter.

　It will no longer be effective as Di Winter.
　If so, the name of this new magic is--

"Magical Winter in the Dimension Frost.

　As soon as I mutter the name of the magic, the cold air in the space increases rapidly.

　Then I take stock of the entire battle between dozens of explorers and a hundred monsters, and I figure out where the explorers are outnumbered.

　The fangs of the Flame Wolf loomed behind one man. The man is so focused on the enemy in front of him that he doesn't notice it at all. At this rate, the man would be killed by a blow from behind. However, I will not allow that to happen.
　The 《Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)/Frost (Frost)》 froze the puddle of water at the Flame Wolf's feet behind him and stopped moving. The Flame Wolf lets out a small scream as his legs freeze and he lets out a small scream.
　Noticing the screams behind him, the man turned around and thrust his sword into the stranded Flame Wolf.

　--First one, then the next.

　Next, a wizard concentrating on chanting. Although I'm building up my magic against the attacking Flame Wolf, I can't get there in time.
　I concentrate my magic power and activate the Dimensional Winter (Di Winter) and Final Frost (Frost) on the Flame Wolf that is about to attack. The water for this is sufficiently attached to the Flame Wolf's body by the Tidal Wave. It was difficult to freeze an empty space, but it was easy if he had the original water.
　Flame Wolf's wet body froze with a crisp sound. Although it couldn't be completely frozen, the freezing effect slowed Flame Wolf's movements.
　As a result, the Flame Wolf's attack doesn't arrive in time, and the wizard's interception magic succeeds.

　--The second one, next.

　I'll use my dimensional magic to look for the next bad spot in the situation.
　Then I aim at the key points and activate my magic.

　--I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it.

　Of course, it's a parallel process while dealing with the Flame Wolves on the front lines.
　That work lasts for a few dozen seconds, and I finally defeat all the Flame Wolves on the front lines.
　During these few tens of seconds, I managed to avoid taking any casualties. However, I don't let my guard down and move from the front line to the middle of the line.

　As I move, I take stock of the entire situation and give orders out loud.
　In the time it takes for me to come to the 10th level, I know everyone's name. The current me had grown not only in my thinking ability but also in my memory ability through 《Level Up》.

'Anaes-san, please follow the person to the right front immediately!　Also, we don't have enough people in the back who can stand in the vanguard, so if you have a free hand, go to the back!　Mr. Thor, when you take out the Flame Wolf there, you can help Mr. Aldin behind you!　Snow leaves Mr. Siddharth to me and moves to the front of the line!

　Since Siddalk-san can't move, someone has to give him instructions instead.
　I imitate Siddalk-san's command and shout instead.

　Snow looks dissatisfied, but after a bit of hesitation, he returns Siddark-san to me with just a few words.

...... because I had no choice.

　I nod and support Siddaruk-san's body.
　Around the time I saw Snow get serious in his own way and move forward, a scream came from a bit far away.

''Da, no!　We can't have it on our side!　I'm hit--

　Naturally, I can grasp that too.

''--Dimensional Winter (Di Winter), Last Frost (Frost)!

　In the distance, I use freezing magic to save my friends who were about to be killed.
　The friends who were watching the scene nearby looked surprised and satisfied with the situation.

''I see. ......!　You're the reason the enemy has been frozen for a while now!
'Thank God it's freezing in the right place!　I believe it was Kanami from Epic Seeker!
'The one next to Siddharth!　It's good magic!

　People who have realized that the freezing magic occurring everywhere is my power will begin to follow my instructions.

''As you can see, if you're in danger, I'll use my freezing magic to help you!　I can see the whole thing with my sensory magic, so just follow my instructions for now!

　It's an abrupt and violent request. I know it's abrupt and rough, and I know it myself.
　But the reply was more than I expected.

I'm sure you're one of the guild masters, aren't you?　Then I don't mind following instructions!
The situation is the way it is.　Now, tell me what to do!
Our leader is down!　Take over for me!

　They are also skilled explorers.
　They instinctively understand the most correct decision in the current situation.
　They will ask me for general instructions.

''Then I will immediately change the formation to the most suitable one!　Mr. Thor, please move straight to the rear and protect the engineers in the center!　Anaes intercepted straight there, and at your level, you can take it alone!　You three over there, please stand firm and move to the left front and prepare for the attack!　And then--　

　I would move everyone to the best position based on the status I got from 'gazing'.
　I didn't care about the guild's barriers when I was pairing multiple people together. This was not the time to be obsessed with such things.

　I would give instructions while helping the whole group with [Dimensional Winter (Di Winter), Last Frost (Frost)]. There were some disgruntled humans along the way, but I managed to convince them by showing them the freezing magic I was developing.

　Against a swarm, I won't let a single person die.
　The best solution for this is always the one I'm going to give them.

　In the middle of that, Siddaruk-san, who was supported by me, moans.

''Ah, well, wait, this job is mine ....... I'll give the instructions to .......

　Even though he is now on the verge of losing consciousness, Siddharth refuses to abdicate his responsibility.

Mr. Siddharth has fulfilled his responsibility. "Mr. Siddharth has fulfilled his responsibility and now you need to rest. I'm in no condition to give ...... instructions.

　I reply softly to Mr. Siddharth.

'Duh, dammit ....... Godd*mn ......'

　Mr. Siddharth heard my calm answer and swore in frustration.

　Beside him, I had to raise my voice repeatedly to command the whole thing. All the while, Mr. Siddharth did not interrupt me.

　After more than enough time, over a hundred Flame Wolves were wiped out. All were transformed into magical stones along with the light, as pillars of ice stood everywhere in the corridor.

　And a cheer filled the corridor.

''Yes--!　We've killed them all!　Nice, the ice-cold wizard from Epic Seeker!
Thank God!　I didn't know what was going to happen at one point!
Thanks to the guildmaster at ...... 'Epic Seeker'. It was a spot-on instruction.

　The searchers are relieved to have survived, and they all praise me.

　I use "Dimension" to re-evaluate the whole picture.
　What is important to me is not the praise. No, that's also important for a guild master, but that's not my goal.

　I check each person's website and count the number of people who have entered the labyrinth to see if they are the same as the number of people who entered the labyrinth.

　He then exhales heavily when he finds that not a single person has died.

'Thank goodness no one has died. ......'

　But in return, I've consumed more than half of my MP.
　With a sense of emptiness, I relax my body.

　After a few minutes, we all finished checking the situation, and we all realized that no one was dead, and the group's joy was transformed into something even greater.
