Eventually he was swept away and went to the fifty level and defeated the Shell Club with more room than the first time, while finishing his leveling, Tsutomu learned to fly at level 28.

　It was something that he had longed to be able to fly, so he excitedly used the fly on the ocean as soon as possible. His body floated in the air. Then Tsutomu successfully lost his position in the air and plunged face first into the sea.

　Tsutomu peeked out of the sea, dripping wet, and parted his black hair, which was stuck to his face, on either side. Angry at Amy, who was laughing hysterically on her belly, Tsutomu made her stand in the water before he applied the fly.


'Hyah!'


　Amy happily screams through the air as if she were a bird. Tsutomu comes out of the sea with a zap and drags his wet robe out of the sea, and then grants a fly to Garum.


''Hmm, that's a bit tricky,''


　At first, Garum was stationary in the air, dividing his consciousness to keep his balance a bit, but he gradually got used to it and began to fly as he ran through the air. Tsutomu put a fly on himself. A body floating in the air. His vision is upside down. He quickly hits his head on the ocean.

　The next few days were spent practicing on the water, but Tsutomu still couldn't get the hang of the fly. I'm not sure if it's just the two of us anymore," he said, wringing his soaked white robe with a faraway look in his eyes.


You can do it like this, just do it quickly and with a bang!　Just give it one more gin and you can fly forward!
I can't!


　While returning to Amy's sensible advice, Tsutomu spreads his hands out to the side and balances himself as if he were walking a tightrope. After receiving some advice from Garum, Tsutomu was finally able to stay in place as long as he didn't move, and when he tried to slowly retrieve the blue potion from his position, he slipped and fell into the ocean. A troubled Garum looks at Amy, who is pointing and laughing as she floats in the air.

　Tsutomu plumped up and floated on his back, looking up at the sky.


'Why is the sky so blue?'
"Tutum's broken!


　Tsutomu looked up with a sunken face as a noisy Amy pulled him out of the water.


'Why can you two do it so quickly and I can't........ No, I think you two are just awesome.
'Probably a difference in DEX (dexterity). Amy is a B and I'm a C+. Tsutomu is a D+, so it's inevitable that he can't do it. Don't be discouraged.
Oh. I see......... Well, I don't have to fight while flying like the two of you, I just have to prevent myself from falling to my death. And I also have some emergency magic tools to use when I fall, so I can move on to the canyon attack for now. Maybe it's time to try dying.
'Mm, that's right. It's true that Tsutomu has only experienced the first death. I'm sure he'll need to get used to dying soon.
'I'd rather it didn't hurt, though...'


　The seeker should not fear pain or death. It's best to be too cautious in an outside dungeon, but not in a dungeon under the jurisdiction of a god. Sometimes there is a role that must be accomplished, even if it costs one's life.

　Tsutomu paled at Garum's suggestion that it wouldn't be a bad idea to jump off the cliff to try it out. Garum and Amy could easily lay down their lives when the time came, and the pain would be somewhat more bearable. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in a dungeon, as well as what you're looking for when you're outside the dungeon, even if you're so badly injured that you're afraid you might die of shock.

　Tsutomu decided to search for some kind of medicine that would allow him to disguise his fear and pain, and since it was a good time, he cut off his fly practice and moved to the Black Gate.

　Then the three of us returned to the guild and disbanded there. Tsutomu checked the amount of money transferred from the Solit company at the reception desk. Tsutomu's account had been wired with 300,000 G.

　Tsutomu honestly thought that 300,000 g is a lot of money after sitting still for three hours. The other day, the shell club dropped a great deal more than 700,000 g. Just by answering the question, you can get about half of the shell club defeat.

　Surely this would understand the idea of the clan renewing the highest tier for the purpose of interview fees, Tsutomu understood. Even Tsutomu, who only spoke a word or two, can get this much. It's certainly a tasty deal, since you can get more than this amount of money just for giving an interview.


(Well, money isn't that much of a problem, but there's a chance you'll lose (or lose) your equipment if you die. (It's a good thing to have.)


　You won't lose everything unless you're wiped out, but even then, it's better to have some reserves. If we can get a giant monitor and get sponsors and interviews, it will be easier to raise money at once. Then we'll be able to establish a clan house.


(Well, I guess I'll just have to be patient.)


　As Tsutomu was about to leave the guild while moving his tired body after being swung around by an unfamiliar fly, a group of three men stood in front of him.


''Yo~ Lucky one (lucky boy)?''


　It's been a long time since they were publicly involved. Tsutomu is surprised by this, but he is not willing to let the three of them through.


''What is it? If you get involved in the guild, you will be caught by the staff, right?
You're still pretending to be a prude. You're so cocky for a former orphan.
'I wouldn't be afraid of you if it wasn't for Garm. Shit.
If it doesn't scare you, I think you should just leave it alone.


　Tsutomu stands on his tiptoes as the thug looking explorer grabs him by the chest and grabs him by the chest. Tsutomu's expression remains the same, but with a straight face. If you have a violent incident within the guild, you will be severely punished. So, he was prepared to take advantage of the fact that he would not cause any trouble here.

　I'm not sure if they read Tsutomu's feelings or not, but the searcher clicked his tongue and let go of his hand. Tsutomu silently fixed his wrinkled white robe.


I'm not going to be able to take that kind of advantage. It's the time for you to get your head out of the clouds.
Huh. Can I go now? I'm tired.
'I'm looking forward to tomorrow!　Hey!
Shit!


　Tsutomu left the guild, passing by an explorer who was more noisy and involved than usual. The insect explorer remained silent after Garum had escorted Tsutomu out of the guild. The only time I've ever seen him act so stylishly was right after he was given the nickname "lucky boy".

　The explorer got involved with a deterrent called Garum. Something was going to happen tomorrow, Tsutomu wondered in his head, but his body and head were very tired from the fly practice. Tsutomu then left his equipment at the cleaners and went back to the inn, took a bath, got into bed to get sucked in and immediately fell asleep.


　--~~


　While Tsutomu was sleeping comfortably in the inn's slime bed, the door to his room was slammed violently. What the hell, Tsutomu jumped up and went to the door with cautious steps.


'Tsutomu!　You're awake!
Mr. Garm?


　Tsutomu's hand, which was holding a defense baton, relaxed when he heard Garum's voice. He unlocked the door and invited Garum in, and he quickly closed and locked it behind him.


'What's wrong? 'It's early in the morning. I'm glad you're motivated to attack the canyon, though.'
"...look at this article.


　Garum showed Tsutomu a crumpled newspaper. On the front page was a large photo of Tsutomu's three PTs. Tsutomu read the article, rubbing his eyes.


''Amy of Ranbu no Amy. A lucky man (lucky boy) takes a weakness and forces her to join the PT!　
　The lucky ones have an informal agreement with the guild to have Garum the Mad Dog and Amy the Rambunctious Dog join the PT. That is a fact in the contract issued by the head of the guild.
　But when I went to interview the three of them, I saw that Amy seemed to be in a lucky person's good mood. Seeing this, I became suspicious and started to interview the searchers on my own. Then an astonishing fact emerged.
　According to information from one of the searchers, Amy had put her trust in a lucky man in the guild and asked for his forgiveness, and the lucky man had kicked her out of the guild. The guild leader's contract does indeed state that the members in the PT must be equal.
　Furthermore, several mid-level clans were also spoken to in Solit Co. and were told that Amy was shouting at the lucky ones not to abandon them, and the lucky ones looked down on them and gave them a condescending smile. After that, he asked a hundred or so searchers to interview him, and he also interviewed the guild staff. And I was able to corroborate that this was true. Apparently, Kyotanitsum, who was known for his good fortune, had some kind of weakness in Amy and was using it as a shield to give her coercive orders.
　The weakness that Amy of that turbulent dance is forced to obey in tears has yet to be investigated enough to obtain, but this is a venerable situation. Solit Co. will continue to investigate and uncover what weaknesses the lucky ones are threatening Amy with. We would be grateful if you could provide any information, no matter how trivial, to Solitto for this purpose.


　Was this the reason for the explorer's amused face (hence the tsugao) yesterday? Tsutomu almost laughed dryly as he recalled the events of yesterday. After that, Tsutomu guessed that most of the informants would be the searchers who were involved in the articles that continued on and on.


'Oh dear. I didn't think it would be taken this way. I should have kept my anger inside the dungeon or something.
Tutum!


　Garum blackmailed Tsutomu, who was absentmindedly looking at the newspaper article. Tsutomu's shoulders shook as if water had been poured on him, and he looked at Garum with trepidation.


He said, "What's so funny! What are you laughing at after being humiliated to this point!
Hmm. Well, there's a part of me that can't help but laugh. This.
..........
''At least until this furor is settled, Amy-san must be removed from the PT, and we can't fill in the PT members if such bad publicity spreads. Oh, this article is already out there, isn't it?
Oh...
'Then there's nothing we can do about it. It's going to be difficult to retrieve the article, and I think we'll have to negotiate with Solitte to get the wording of the correction published in the next paper.


　Tsutomu cleaned up the newspaper he'd just read through and changed into his normal clothes. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find a way to make it work. It's a good idea to put a nail in the coffin," he said to himself.


''So, did Garum-san come to escort me?''
'Of course, that's part of it, but I was ordered by the guild leader to bring Tsutomu with me. .... and perhaps some of the guards will come as well.
Okay, okay. I'll go wash my face and stuff, so give me a minute.
...How can Tsutomu be so nonchalant about it?


　Garum posed a question to Tsutomu's back as he started to brush his teeth as he headed to the bathroom. After rinsing his mouth out with water, Tsutomu waved his hand dismissively.


'It's more than a matter of levity, isn't it? My head hasn't caught up with me, or something like that.'
I'm going to hit up Solitte right now and negotiate a recovery and correction of the story.
What?　That's a bit of a bad idea, isn't it?
'....Hmm. I knew Tsutomu would say that. He's a man who even cares about the insect seekers who call him lucky. If Tsutomu was someone who had no aversion to rough stuff, I would have been on board already.


　Garum grabbed the newspaper that Tsutomu had folded and crumpled it up into a ball with both hands, tossing it into the trash can. Tsutomu chuckled a little as he wiped his face with a towel.


'No, no, you don't have to take such good care of it.
"Tsutomu. Listen to me. It is true that I first joined your PT at the request of the guild leader. At the time, I was foolishly thinking about raising you and so on. But once you crossed the swamp, I consider you an equal companion.
Well that's what I think, too.


　Tsutomu felt the seriousness of Garum's mood and words and replied as he pulled back his smile and turned to him.


'Then don't despise yourself. Tsutomu deserves more credit. It was definitely because of Tsutomu that I was able to cross the fifty levels. You've shown me what is beyond that level that I couldn't get past two years ago. You are more than equal to me.


　And yet, Garum clenched both fists and shook.


''........People laugh at such twoms. I find it frustrating that you are made fun of. I'm so frustrated. So Tsutomu. Get angry at this article. Ask me for help. Then you can let me take care of the rest.


　Garum wrinkled his face as if in penance and got down on one knee to beg Tsutomu.


(I guess I'm not embarrassed to say it.... (Garum-san is.)


　Tsutomu's friends in Japan were almost exclusively interested parties. They were only friends with the upper echelons of the people around them who were concerned about the way they looked at each other. He would only talk to her during lectures, and when he missed a class, he would only ask her to attend and show him her notes.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're ready to buy.

　Garum is waiting for Tsutomu's words without raising his head. Walking up to him, Tsutomu lightly tapped him on the shoulder from the side and made him look up.


''I understand how you feel, Garum. I have my own thoughts on this matter as well.
'Right!　So let's get right to it...
I'm not going to punch you in the face, you know.


　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's been in the same boat as you. Tsutomu let out a bitter smile at such a Garum.


The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a good idea to have the company take responsibility for this mismanagement, although I won't punch them in the face. However, if I'm not good enough, I'll ask for Garum-san's help. ........Okay?
"...Oh!　I'll take care of it. My people are being mocked for what they've done to us. We'll hold them accountable.
'Haha. Right. Well then, let's go to the guild.


　They smiled nasty smiles at each other and looked at each other and laughed, then headed to the guild with strong steps.
