12-Beyond the wall




 After twenty minutes of following the signs, Tsutomu stopped at a dense dune. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.


I'm sure he's there.


 Tsutomu ducked into a raised sandbox, binoculars in hand, a fish disappearing from the surface of the earth. Then he spotted a black, thin shell crab antennae and told him so.

 The tentacles came out of the sandy beach to hide along the palm tree and looked around 360 degrees. Then one of the antennae retracted to the ground and the shell crab began to wriggle in the sand. That shaking of the ground was only a small amount, a change that would never be detectable from a distance.

 They were handed a pair of binoculars and checked them, then picked up their weapons with a straight face. Tsutomu let out a wry smile and put a hasten on Amy, who started running after the instructions. The shell club, sensing their running form, gracefully came out of the sandy beach.

 It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family. The movement was also somewhat strange and Garum slashed at it while looking doubtful.

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. And Garum dodged a weak forceps smack to the side compared to the previous one.

 Amy, meanwhile, leaps onto her dorsal armor and slices the bare flesh. Slightly murky blue blood leaked out and flooded the twin swords, wetting them.

 The shell club crumbled to the ground as it crumbled. She tries to get up, using her forceps as a wand, but Amy pokes the twin swords mercilessly. Gouging. Stabs. Garum slashed at the slender leg, striking it repeatedly, and finally slashed one of the slender legs.

 The shell club screamed in despair and then completely fell to the ground. Blue blood overflowed in a thud. Its antennae trembled convulsively.

 And then Shellcrab began to glow like a jewel that reflected light with glitter, and particles of light began to flow from its body.


''Eh.''


 Amy couldn't help but let out a cry as the shell club began to particulate in a flash. Even Garum seemed to be stunned as he gripped his long sword.

 Amy just watched the particles drift away from the shell club and back to the ocean. Garum was caught off guard, his long sword still at the ready. Tsutomu was hemmed in by the swamp's poisonous awesome.

 A blue magic stone fell to the ground with a thud from the body of the shell club, which was still emitting light particles. It was a large magical stone large enough to be held with both hands. Tsutomu struck a fist-pumping pose at the colored stone.

 And after a sound like something shattered, the black gate appeared from the empty space. The two doors to the fifty-one levels and the door to return to the guild. Tsutomu stretched lightly while looking at the black gate door on the right.


''I'm glad it worked out. Well then, let's take a look at the canyon once and then go right back.''


 Tsutomu, who had packed a blue Daimajishi in his magic bag, called out to them in a cheerful voice. They reluctantly followed Tsutomu and entered the Black Gate together. The three of them were particulate and transported to the fifty-one level, leaving only the camera, which is said to be the God's Eye, behind.


 --▽▽▽--


 After touring the canyon, with its impressive V-shaped green mountains across the river, Tsutomu quickly returned to the guild to see how high he would die instantly if he fell. Tsutomu greeted the usual dragon man's gatekeeper.

 Then, as usual, Tsutomu and his friends line up at the reception desk, while ignoring the lucky boy who flies in, as usual. The eyes of the insect seekers are the same as usual, but this time there are several searchers belonging to the mid-level clan who are looking at Tsutomu and his team. Tsutomu wondered vaguely if it was a delivery effect, and as his turn came around, he spit on the paper he was given to update his status card.

 He handed it to the skin-headed uncle and waited for a while, then immediately brought the status card to him.





 Tsutomu nodded when the horribly serious looking uncle told him so. He opened his mouth modestly to congratulate them before handing the three of them a light brown discolored status card.


'Garum, you've done well, Amy,'
Yes. Thank you.
'Yeah...'


 The two of them looked at the status card, which had changed colors and finally felt real, and Garum looked happy, while Amy received it with tears in her eyes. Tsutomu also received the status card with a smile and confirmed it.


 Kyotani Tsutomu.

(For the time being, I'll have to level up to 28 before I can attack the canyon. I'm sure I won't be able to do it well at first, and I need to practice. I'll also have to try out the emergency evasion tool.


 From the fifty-sixth level of the canyon, the natural canyon disappears and is replaced by a dry, desert-like canyon. From there, the trees and natural cushions make it impossible to escape instant death, so terrain countermeasures are essential.

 For this reason, there is a magic called "Fly", which allowed you to avoid instant death in the game if you cast it. However, the reality is that Tsutomu, who thinks that it takes practice here, made a slightly bitter face.


(I want to update the highest tier while the major clans are taking a break. (It's too hard for me.)


 Tsutomu has been described by those around him as a lucky man (lucky boy) all month long. At the inn, outside, and in the guild. That's what he's been doing for a long time. Few people know Tsutomu's name, but he is known by his two names, "Lucky Boy".

 Even the clerk at the inn sometimes calls me "lucky boy", and even when I walk down the street, a child points out my name as "lucky boy". Unlike explorers, they probably have no ill intentions. They say it as if they were calling you a famous person's name. A lucky man, a lucky man, a lucky man.

 Tsutomu was secretly fed up with every time he was called. Sometimes I wanted to grab the innkeeper by the shoulders and scream, "My name is Kyoya Tsutomu.

 But since it's ridiculous to cause a problem with that, I try not to mention it on the surface. However, Tsutomu is annoyed by the reputation of the people around him. He doesn't want to sneak around with his name on his shoulders.

 That's why he wanted to have an achievement to dispel it. I'm sure there are a number of achievements to dispel that, but Tsutomu chose the simple and straightforward path.

 He wanted to see his own reflection on the giant monitors in this city and guild. That is the path that Tsutomu has chosen.

 You don't need to update the highest level of hierarchy if you just want to see your reflection on the giant monitor. If you can make it to the latter half of the 50th level, outside of the time when the major clans are hiding, you will be able to see your own reflection. However, Tsutomu felt that this still wouldn't be enough to erase this name.

 The reputation of the major clans that actually did that was not very high. A clan that is running away from the fire dragon defeat. Tsutomu listened in front of a huge monitor as the audience said that the clan that had defeated the fire dragons was still amazing.

 Therefore, Tsutomu is at the 61st level, the highest level reached by the current major clans. He had set himself the goal of updating it. Those who called Tsutomu a lucky boy for achieving it, at least they would no longer call him anything other than an explorer.

 After hearing Amy's words, Tsutomu had expected that people would say that perhaps this time breaking through the forty levels was just a matter of discovering the shell club by accident. As soon as he realized that, he had to devise a plan to attack the fifty-level canyon and defeat the fire dragon.

 I'm not going to have time to rest, Tsutomu said enthusiastically, returning his status card and turning back to Garum and Amy as he left the reception area.


''Then we'll dismiss it for today. Tomorrow we're going to level ourselves up on the beach. Please chaperone me, please.''
Oh. Okay.


 Garum replied, bobbing his tail in a good mood. And after glancing at the dejected Amy, he slapped her hard on the back. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic.


...Yeah. Sorry about that Tsutomu, sorry about earlier? Call me a lucky boy.


 Tsutomu looked a little surprised at Amy as she bowed her head, and he quickly made her raise her head.


'No, no. I don't mind.''
Is that right? Really? But you're obviously angry, right? Right?


 Tsutomu's pasted-on smile looked somehow darker, and Amy was jittery as she tried to figure out what kind of mood he was in. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic.


'Ah. Amy said, as I recall, that she didn't like being with bugs, right? So you adapted your staker updates to the same method I did.
'What? Oh, yeah.
But I thought you'd call me a lucky boy.
..........


 Amy couldn't help but remove her gaze from Tsutomu's eyes, as if he could see through her mind. Garum is holding back an amused laugh.


'That's all I'm trying to say,'
I'm so mad at you! Sorry, Tsutomu! Please forgive me! Don't expel me from PT! If you do that, I'll get mad at the head of the guild too!
'No, we've already said what we want to say too, so we forgive you. I'd rather ask you to continue the PT from here. It's going to be pretty tough without Amy-san.
'No! I've never forgiven you yet! I'm afraid of your face! I'm still scared of Tsutomu's face!


 Amy, who is clinging to Tsutomu's hand, pulls on his hem as she sits on the ground and doesn't let go. As the searchers gather to hear Amy's loud voice, Tsutomu makes a suggestion to Amy, even though his face is tense.


'Then no reward for Amy this time. Is that okay?''
Wait, Tsutomu. Let's get the guild staff to resign first. Then we'll get the guild staff who were footing the bill to get down on their knees and share his savings with everyone else. After that, we'll throw him into the ravine without equipment.


 Seeing this as an opportunity, Garum interrupted him from the side. His mouth was twisted so widely that he looked like a rogue cop.


'Mr. Garum. How much do you have a grudge against Amy........
'The complaints about this guy are numerous. There's a lot of frustration among the staff, so this is a good opportunity for them to clear up.
"Forgive me, Tsutomu! I don't want to get lost on the road!
'Hey! Don't yank on me, Ms. Amy! Please let go of me, I'll grow!
If I let you go, you'll just run away! Don't abandon me, Tsutomu! Don't give up on me!
Wait, ha-ha! This is very dramatic! Okay, Amy, since you're fit and well, let's just go outside. I'm getting in the way!


 It's a good idea to have a good time with Amy, who grabbed Tsutomu's hand and clung to it as if she were his girlfriend who had just broken up with him, but Tsutomu couldn't help but return the favor and take her outside.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not really a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
