Hey.


　The three of them landed on the ground while holding hands with each other, losing themselves in the falling sensation of shifting that they had become accustomed to. I'm not sure what this sensation is, and Tsutomu fell a few times at first, but after a few falls, he got used to it. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

　In contrast to the guild, the yellow-green grass around me is spread out as far as the eye can see. It seems that we came out to a place with good visibility, and even Tsutomu could see a few monsters here and there.


I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it. I'm going to have to ask you to search for the enemy.
Yes, sir.


　Amy quickly disappeared from Tsutomu's sight as she ran out of the meadow with wind-like speed. Meanwhile, Tsutomu pulls out a white staff from his magic bag. The white equipment makes Tsutomu think that he is a white mage, and he does some image training in his own voice.

　Afterwards, Garum called out to him to help him with his preparations, and Amy came back while catching her breath a bit.


No explorer. No major enemies. We can do it!
Okay. So let's start with the goblin.
Um, okay.


　Amy reports with her hand raised and Garum finishing his preparatory work. Their equipment is still in their guild staff uniforms and they don't have any weapons. The reason could be that it was insurance in case they died, but mostly it was a deterrent to other PTs.

　All guild staff, except for the clerical staff, are eligible to take the exam only if they have passed the forty or more levels of the dungeon. After that, only those who pass both the difficult written test and the practical test, which evaluates their skills, at a high level, and who are approved as having no problems during an interview with the guild leader will be eligible to become guild employees.

　Almost no PT will harass a PT who has two such guild staff members in uniform out of jealousy. At first there were times when those who mistakenly thought they didn't have weapons would get involved, but as soon as their weapons were handed to them from Tsutomu's magic bag, they ran away.


''Then we'll target those three. I'll protect them.''


　When Tsutomu raises his white staff, the white jewel at the end of it emits a pale light, and an ochre-colored qi-like substance falls on everyone. Protection, a supportive skill that hardens the skin of the person cast in proportion to the mental power the surgeon has put into it. Thank you, Amy says the words and runs off, with Garum and Tsutomu following at a small run.

　Amy lightly kicks the goblin in the jaw when she notices its approach. Garum also slammed his fist into the face of the goblin that was coming towards them. Tsutomu put his staff on the ground while looking at the last one.


''Heel.''


　Amy and the others didn't even have a single scrape, let alone an injury, but Tsutomu unleashed his recovery skills on her as he practiced. When he waved his wand, a fist-sized green chi shot out and he successfully manipulated it to hit her back, which was still moving.

　For a while Tsutomu continued to heel Amy and the others, who continued to move like a target game. Then, when Amy began to get bored or slowed down, Garum stepped on the goblin's neck and broke it with his foot.

　As the goblin died, it turned into green particles and disappeared without a trace of blood, leaving only a single piece of thin, transparent magic stone behind. Amy retrieves the small, scrap-like magic stone and returns.


You've gotten really good at this juggling act, haven't you? At first you had Gob-chan recovering too!
You've made fewer mistakes lately, so it's time to reevaluate.
'It was funny that time, because Garum looked like his dog had bitten him!


　Amy laughed at him while tossing the rubbish demon stone to Tsutomu, and he laughed in annoyance as he took it and put it in his magic bag. Garum remembered that and turned his face to the side.

　This was the first dungeon Tsutomu had dived into while being instructed by Garum. When he called on Amy, who was fighting the heels in the same image as in the game, Tsutomu was truly surprised to see that the goblins, which had been debilitated by the blows, had also become healthy. This was because in the game, they never recovered to their enemies.

　After the battle, Garum instructed him that he would only be able to use the heel when he came back, and although he thought it was different from the game, he followed suit.

　However, the next day, Garum asks them to do the same thing. However, the next day, Tsutomu is still required to do the same thing by Garum. After the battle is over, Tsutomu is praised by Garum when he heals.

　After repeating this for half a day, Tsutomu returned to the guild, looking bored and absent-minded, and found that his level had increased by about five levels. Furthermore, he notices that he has learned a few new skills under his status card. Protection, a support skill, and Airblade, an attack skill.

　However, the next day was just one more task to apply protection before the battle. Garms overrun the goblins. When you're done, you heal. Can I shoot the airblade?" said Tsutomu, and Garum spoke up to admonish the spoiled child.


The job of Tsutomu is to apply protection before the battle and heal after the battle. Anything else is unnecessary.
'Well, aren't you being a bit overprotective?　I can understand if it means that once you die, it's over, but you can go back, right?　No, I don't want to be in pain as much as possible.
'White mage is a support skill at the beginning of the battle. Just use the recovery skill after the battle. As long as you do just that, you'll be fine.
...I see.


　Tsutomu, who hadn't been watching the dungeon's live feed that much at the time, grumpily wondered if Garum was licking him. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm going to be able to help you out.

　After that, Tsutomu holed up in the training area for five days, practicing trajectory manipulation of skills, compression and diffusion of the effect area. And although not perfect, coupled with the effects of the white cane, Tsutomu succeeded in acquiring a certain degree of skill control.

　After getting that far, he watched the huge monitor that showed the battle of the highest-ranking clans for half a day in order to check the movements of the top-ranking clans in the dungeon's live feed. Then he realized that Garum hadn't said anything that wrong, and Tsutomu honestly apologized.


'Basically, if I'm injured, I drink my own potions during the battle, and I usually only heal after the battle.
10,000 g for the cheapest potion.　It's too good to be true, that's just not worth it. A lot of PT's come home in the red when they watch live. Then even if the level of the game goes up, you can't make a living. That's why it's always going to be a grassland.
Oh, my God, Zstom, you're such a hard worker.


　The other explorers would call him an insect if he couldn't make it to the tenth layer and stayed on the grassland. However, Tsutomu feels that this nickname is rather rude, so he doesn't talk about it too much.

　While they were chatting, five more goblins appeared, so Tsutomu applied his support skill protection to all of them again. Amy and Garum leave Tsutomu behind and head for the goblins with their bare hands.

　As for Tsutomu, he wanted to change this gory parasitic warfare method as soon as possible, but the guild had recommended that he follow Garum's instructions until Tsutomu reached the tenth level.

　And since Garum was showing a bit of hurt due to the first incident, Tsutomu decided to follow Garum's instructions and work in the dungeon until he reached the tenth level. Only the practice of hitting the heel was passed by Tsutomu selfishly, though.

　The mainstream configuration of the current explorer's PT is made up of four attackers and a healer. This is the configuration adopted by the major clans.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. However, when he watched a live feed of a major clan on the giant monitor in the guild, the content was terrible.

　The basic battle flow is that the healer first applies support skills and the attacker runs into the enemy. Then the wounded would basically each drink a potion to heal themselves, while the healer would hide. And the healers only show their faces when they have to revive a dead PT member.

　And the most surprising thing to Tsutomu was that every PT basically discarded their healers. Magic skills are activated using mental power, which is also a part of the status, but in every PT, the healers used up almost all of their mental power when they brought members back to life and applied their support skills.

　When healers use their recovery and support skills, the monsters will realize that the enemy is a nasty one and will focus on the healer with hate (hostility). The attacker left the healer, whose mental power was exhausted and targeted by the monsters, and defeated other enemies without a care in the world.

　A giant monitor installed in the center of the guild. Tsutomu, who was sitting on the bench provided with it and watching the live video, quietly asked Garum to explain to him what that was all about.

　Garum said that the major clans are aiming to update the highest tier, so they are prepared for a deficit, so they adopt a battle strategy in which recovery is potions and healers revive those who died from unexpected attacks.

　Whenever you are renewing the highest tier, your PT will appear on the city's giant monitor or the guild's giant monitor, increasing the popularity of the city's people and the clan's fame.

　The more popular you are, the more you will be able to promote the weapons, armor and tools the seeker is wearing. If you are able to be seen on the huge monitor, 80% of the searchers will be asked to advertise their weapons and armor shops to use our armor. Also, they can make money from the tribute from the fans and interview fees from newspaper companies.

　The problem lies in the fact that the clans and pyramids below them also follow the battle tactics of the big clans.

　Even the big clans are in the red, so of course the people below them will be in the red. But even so, they will be in the black sooner or later. The clans and PTs below them will repeat their thoughtless dungeon searches, just because those big clans and celebrities are doing it. And then they come back in the red or are wiped out. Most of the equipment is absorbed into the dungeon or collected by your peers, leaving you with only one thing and a pair of flaxen old clothes.

　Unprofitable and frustrated attackers threaten and belittle less powerful healers and packers. Tsutomu has seen many people in the guild who have been handed an unfair share of the profits. Tsutomu is not happy about this situation.


(Don't kid yourself that healers are not treated well. Healers are an indispensable role in the PT. I will never allow them to be treated like that reviving machine).


　Maybe they can't apply the game's warfare techniques to reality. Unlike in the game, if the head is blown off, you will die instantly, so I think that healer's role has a point. However, Tsutomu still couldn't forgive the treatment of that healer.

　Most of all, Tsutomu was secretly annoyed that even Amy and Garum admired that strategy to some extent. Amy in particular unconsciously spouted words that made fun of the healers.

　--First of all, let her change that perception. Today, Tsutomu is convinced that the level will probably be ten. Once he reached level ten, Tsutomu would become the leader of this PT and was granted a certain amount of command authority by the guild.

　After that, having had dozens of goblins defeated, Tsutomu immediately suggested that he should return to the guild, as his level would have risen by now.


'Let's go home!　Let's go home now!　Oh, I have something I want to do as soon as I get home, do you have time?
Tsutomu is looking better than ever.... I wonder if he's OK. Do you think he's going to give me some kind of s*xual instruction?


　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on the scrap metal you've picked up, but also a teasing look on your face as you play with it.


"I don't think Tsutomu is perverted enough to lust after your poor body.
'Hmm?　If you want to die, why don't you just say honestly that you want to die? Would you like me to kill you as soon as you leave the dungeon?
Go ahead and do it if you can.
Hey. Why do you two have to be so combative?


　Amy threw the rubbish demon stone in her hand and took a bite out of Garum. Tsutomu picked up the discarded rubbish demon stone while interrupting the pair, who were in a state of shock, and collected the discarded rubbish demon stone.
