Then, while Amy was talking with Myrl, the others prepared a document with compensation details while reviewing the minutes with each other, and filled out a signature indicating agreement between the two parties. Corrections and apologies for the recovery of the fabricated article. Compensation will be paid to Tsutomu in the amount of G50 million; Camille, Amy and Garum in the amount of G10 million. And he made them promise to publish Mirlle's mug shot and that she wrote a fake article.

　The little bearded man, who took a copy of the letter and made a final speech to the five men, left the room at a fast pace with a stern look on his face. The editor-in-chief hurriedly chased after it, dragging Mirlle with him. When the three men were gone, Tsutomu leaned back against the back as if he were weakening.

　Camille next to her was crisp and articulate, and the deputy head of the guild was still meticulously checking the documents he had checked over and over again.


'Tsutomu. Are you okay?
Hmm?　Yeah.


　Tsutomu, who was rubbing his hands to relieve his expressionless, stiff face, replied to Amy's question while holding his face.


'Was it good like that?'
'Hmmm, that was nice. I was a little surprised, but as long as the results are good, everything's good.


　When Tsutomu gave Amy a thumbs up, she put her hand to her chest and exhaled as if she was relieved. Tsutomu had concluded that it would be unlikely that Myrl would commit a violent act, given the way she was looking at him.


　Tsutomu had heard a description of Mirlle's character from Amy during yesterday's meeting with Sollit Company, and he thought it would be difficult to silence her with reason and restrain her from acting. To hear what Mirlle said to Amy when she boarded the Solit company, she is the type of person who is driven by her emotions. Therefore, Tsutomu felt that there was no point in arguing with her, no matter how much he pleaded his case.

　He knew this, so he decided to appeal to her emotions in the first place. First of all, Tsutomu says that he could defeat the fire dragon if only he had someone to replace Amy. Amy, hearing this, tearfully told Mille that if it weren't for your article, I would have been able to defeat the fire dragon, too.

　Amy was clearly disgusted when she heard that plan from Tsutomu. In fact, she missed out on defeating the fire dragon because of that article, which caused her to be removed from the PT. And I don't have much compassion for Mirlle, so for Amy, I'd rather call her out on it.

　But Tsutomu assumes that Mirlle is a follower of Amy, so what will she have to work with if she's going to be denied by that Amy? The fact that he is not a fan of Amy's work is a good sign.

　So, as for Tsutomu, he wanted Amy to persuade her while not damaging Mirlle's feelings. If that broke Mirlle, Tsutomu would be in danger of losing his life. The thought of ending Mirrle before that happened came to Tsutomu's mind, but he didn't want to do that.

　Amy had no desire to get involved with Myruru, but she had a guilty conscience about Tsutomu, so she was reluctant to accept his plan. So she reluctantly agreed to Tsutomu's plan. And since Tsutomu wasn't very confident in his own precarious strategy, he left it to her discretion to some extent.

　While Tsutomu was proceeding with the meeting, Amy suddenly slapped him, which made him cringe inwardly. But after that, it seemed like a good story for Mirlle to put her trust in Amy, and he was relieved, although he didn't really understand what was going on.

　As a result, Amy had convinced him afterwards, and Myrl didn't feel that Amy hated him. And solemnly accepting the crime, he didn't object, nor did he hold an excessive amount of resentment towards Tsutomu.

　The next day. All the employees of the Solit company went out to the city to distribute the newspaper. On the front page was a picture of Mirlle's face. And a vague correction of her fabricated article was written on the front page, and a campaign of apologies by the Solit employees was carried out in the streets, led by the man who was the chief executive.

　While the man's honesty prevented some of those who already subscribed from switching, Solitto's newspaper sales would undoubtedly drop. And a large amount of compensation was also transferred to their respective guild accounts the next day. The man who had been the editor-in-chief for many years was also revealed to have condoned the article due to Mirlle's confession, and was really demoted to being treated no differently than a rookie employee.

　But even so, the Solitte company still maintained an oligopoly. While it has certainly reduced its size compared to previous years, it has not been able to grow enough to allow the other two newspapers to compete with Solitte. The growth of these two companies was necessary to prevent the oligopoly of Solitte.

　As a way to help them grow, Tsutomu decided to offer free three-man PT interviews on the defeat of the fire dragon to both companies. And from now on, he would refuse to give any interviews to Sollit until the two companies had grown to become a rival force to Sollit.

　Mirlle was disciplined and fired from Solitte, and the article published by Solitte gave him a bad name in the city. Her connections at Sollitte are gone, and there is no longer a newspaper in the labyrinth city to employ her. But Mirlle's eyes were not rotten. Because she still had hope in Amy.

　The hope that Amy hasn't abandoned her and the Tsutomu who is by her side. Unsure of what position to take, Myrl became a clear explorer with the idea of officially taking his place.

　God has assured the nobles that anyone can enter God's dungeon except those who have been abandoned by God, under the idea that God is equal. So even Myrl, who had most of his assets confiscated, can become an explorer as long as he pays what little money he has.

　And oddly enough, Mirlle's job was a white mage, the same as Tsutomu's. She breathed inwardly that she would soon overtake Tsutomu.

　But to spread the notoriety that Mirlle had done to Tsutomu. She would find out for herself how cruel that was in the future.
