46-Coming contract deadline




 After transitioning to the fifty-seventh level, Tsutomu and the other four PTs immediately returned to the guild, while Tsutomu smilingly gazed at the impromptu PT that Aldoret Crow was trying out on the monitor, finishing the status update at the reception desk and completing the reward distribution.


''Tsutomu. Would you like to go?
'Oh, excuse me. It's just that today...


 Tsutomu clasped his hands together in front of him as Camille invited him in with a gesture that made him tilt his boilerplate a little bit. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.


'Come with me to the Fisherman's Diner then!
'No, it's not like I'm saying no to you because you're Camille. It's not that I don't like Camille.
Yeah?


 Amy puffed out her cheeks at Camille, who closed her mouth and paid off her red bangs, as if a little embarrassed, and Amy puffed out her cheeks. Tsutomu received Amy's accusing look and bowed his head for now.


''I have to get ready to pack my things soon, you know. So I'm sorry for today. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'll see you tomorrow at my usual time.


 Tsutomu had calculated that they could probably defeat the fire dragon the day after tomorrow, so they had to prepare to leave the guild quarters as well. Amy almost reached out to Tsutomu's back as he walked with Garum, but when Camille gently held her down, she quickly pulled back.


''Do you two want to go out for a drink once in a while?''
...Fishermen's Restaurant. My treat.
Okay, okay.


 Pressing Amy's puffy cheeks with her fingers to let the air escape, Camille headed to the Fishermen's Restaurant while replying appropriately to Amy's reply. Amy followed it from behind.

 When Tsutomu returned to the guild quarters with Garum, he unlocked the door for him to enter the room and immediately began cleaning up. Although he hadn't changed the decor of the room that much, he had left behind a lot of daily necessities and memo pads related to the dungeon. Tsutomu began organizing the memo paper first.

 Although he had only been staying at the lodge for about a week, Tsutomu still had a lot of memo pads to write on. When he wasn't hiding in the dungeon, he was usually outside watching live feeds and taking notes, so he had a large collection of notes.

 This world is different from Japan in terms of civilization. The only thing that Tsutomu could enjoy as well as games, the internet and television was the live streaming. That's why Tsutomu usually watches the live broadcast in his free time and takes notes. This was partly for the purpose of attacking a hundred levels, but mostly for entertainment purposes.

 There are nearly a hundred monitors in the guild and the city combined. The first to tenth units were lined up in the hierarchical order of the attack, so the standard major and mid-level clans were often shown, and the canyons and gorges were often shown. It's not clear if the gods selected the areas below these areas individually, but they often show fierce battles with monsters and PTs in trouble.

 Tsutomu never gets tired of looking at the various monitors on the watchtower. Information about monsters that behave differently than the game, as if they are the same as the game. The operation of skills also differs from person to person, and he guesses what they are thinking and doing with their skills.

 Information about the dungeons that Tsutomu had seen and heard about, carefully written on the highest quality paper made from monster materials. After finishing packing up the memo paper, Tsutomu continued to gather up his daily necessities.

 Although the clothes were rather expensive, Tsutomu bought enough of them to be considered a nobleman, as he didn't want to wear the same clothes every day. At first, all of the clothes were stiff and uncomfortable, but fortunately the clothes were comfortable if they were made of monster material, so Tsutomu focused on them.

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. The Magic Bag was already full of dungeon-related tools and equipment, and even if you wanted to leave things with the guild, you had to pay G (gold) according to the amount.

 The G is a considerable amount of money that can be afforded by the compensation from the Solit company, but Tsutomu had a personality that would do it if he could save money with his own light hardship. When Tsutomu had finished sorting through the large amount of clothes, he was taking a break when there was a knock on his door. When Tsutomu opened the door, he found Garum holding a large paper bag full of food.


''I bought just the right things. It's time for dinner.
'Yes. Thank you.


 Tsutomu followed Garum as he placed the basket of folded clothes beside him. Turning back at the door and twisting the doorknob with his large tail, Garum entered the living room with a large paper bag in his arms.

 Setting the paper bag down on the desk, Garum waves lightly and then sits quietly on the floor, fumbling through the paper bag and starting to eat the pastries. Tsutomu also rummaged through the paper bag and found his favorite skewers and began to eat them.

 For a few moments, the sound of food being eaten is the only sound that echoes in the spacious living room. Tsutomu finishes chewing and swallowing the hard meat and starts talking as soon as Garum swallows the food down.


'So it's another pastry today?'
"Mm.


 Garum's expression didn't change much as he put his hand into the paper bag and proceeded to eat the sweet buns, crunching them. It's a very popular product among the people, and you have to wait in line to get it, but Garum had orphans stand in line to buy it.

 That's all you need to know, coupled with Garum's stiff expression, you might think he's using the orphans with his jaw. But he's giving the orphans more change by having them line up in line. It's a sort of an errand boy.

 I'm not sure if his tall, muscular body is fuel efficient or not, but Garum's eating speed is fast. It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with this one.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time at home. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic than you think. The next day, Garum was able to see a lot more than he could see.

 The next day, Garum's eyes would glaze over and he would buy a large quantity of foodstuffs, much to Tsutomu's annoyance. The next day, Tsutomu pestered him by buying a large quantity of foodstuffs, but since he didn't have a refrigerator in his room, there was no way he could use it all up, and most of it was sent to an orphanage that he was supporting.

 The majority of the food will be sent to the orphanage that he supports. When Tsutomu stands in the kitchen to do the dishes, his dog ears flare up and he starts to fidget.


'Oh, I'm done with me,'
Okay.


 Tsutomu says this to Garum after he pulls out a burger on a skewer, and he starts munching on a colorful vegetable salad after checking the contents of the paper bag.

 Garum basically doesn't talk much while he's eating. Tsutomu understood this on his first day here, and there were times when he thought he was being clever and kept quiet during the meal on the second day.

 However, although Garum is basically a stern-looking man, he could tell by his dog ears and tail that he was in a good mood. When Tsutomu spoke, his big tail would flap to the side, and if he did not speak, he would quiet down. It was easy to understand, so Tsutomu quickly stopped being quiet.


''I'd like to hunt some more tomorrow. My level is about to reach forty-five, so...
Hmm.


 The reply was brusque, but his tail was wagging behind him and banging on the floor. Tsutomu thought that if he was a little more affectionate, everyone would be more likely to approach him, but he gathered up the trash on his desk and went outside to throw it away.


 --~~


Ew...
..........


 When Amy and Camille were an hour late for the meeting time, Tsutomu got worried about the quicksand, so he went to the guild quarters and first rang the doorbell of Amy's room. And the one who came out of the door was Amy, with shades under her eyes from lack of sleep and a hangover that made her face pale.

 Seeing Amy, who looked as if she couldn't go out in public, Tsutomu handed her a medicine from the magic bag he carried on his back that often cures hangovers.


'Hangover? Then here you go. Come to the guild after you've rested for a while.
Okay.


 When Tsutomu gave her the pills, Amy closed the door with a bang, as if she didn't have time to talk. After yesterday's breakup, Camille and I had a great time talking about girls, and Amy was cruising the bars until the end of the night. Incidentally, Camille was also down in Amy's room.


'Can't we just let that guy go on his way now?
''Well, I hear this PT contract will continue for another month. Let's take it easy.
Well yes.


 Tsutomu returns the hateful Garum with a smiling expression. Garum lowered his tail a bit when he heard Tsutomu say the word PT contract.

 For the next four hours or so, they were asleep and didn't return, so Tsutomu wandered around the guild and the city. Garum went to the orphanage to show up.

 Tsutomu checked the temporary PT recruitment letter, the so-called stray PT recruitment letter that had been cluttered up on the guild's bulletin board, in between the searchers. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 The PT recruitment board, which is basically used by those who don't belong to a clan or novice explorers, still has many PT solicitations that are limited to jobs that can produce firepower. Even though Aldrete Crow had recently tried Tsutomu's PT structure, it hadn't produced any noticeable results yet. And the other two major clans are still recruiting firepower PTs.

 Most of the newcomers to the game come to the site because of the flashy first placements, so those in the beginner's zone are more susceptible to the influence of the big clans. In order to raise the status of a newbie healer, you have to get the big clans to be interested in your PT structure.

 The best way to do that is to actually show them the usefulness of the PT in the first round. This is the second time to attack the fire dragon. If you accomplish the fire dragon attack, which is going to be properly timed to the crowd this time, at least the golden probe should come to explore. Then I'll tell the golden probe and Aldoret Crow about Tsutomu's PT plan and have it projected on the single-digit stand.

 This would increase the exposure of jobs other than attackers on the single-digit stand, and the beginner belt's awareness should gradually change. So Tsutomu was going to make contact with Aldoret Crow and Golden Exam first after the fire dragon attack.

 As for the Red Devil Gang, they had already updated the sixty-three levels beyond the fire dragon, with a composition of four attackers and one healer. Although he tried to make contact with them, Tsutomu didn't expect much from the Red Demon Dan.

 The Red Demon Squad actually broke through the fire dragons with that configuration. I don't like the disposability of the healers, but that's just Tsutomu's personal consciousness. If the healers were doing it of their own volition, then there was no room for Tsutomu to interfere.

 Besides, Tsutomu has heard that the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad, a clan that mainly specializes in conquering the outer dungeons, will be returning soon after their semi-annual expeditions. Since the Labyrinth Hegemony is also one of the major clans, Tsutomu wanted to make contact with it once.

 Unlike God's dungeon, the outer labyrinth is real. People will die. There are no black gates. When monsters die, they don't turn into particles and disappear. Instead, there is no limit on the number of people, and although there are some advantages to the fact that monster materials remain whole, the disadvantages of death are still too great.

 However, the clan leaders and deputy clan leaders of the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad, who have survived for many years despite their close proximity to death. And the executives are all strong men. If they were to dive into the divine Dungeon in earnest, the Red Demon Clan would soon cede the highest level of the hierarchy to them.


(And the clan leader seems to be a white mage. I can't wait to meet him.)


 As Tsutomu looked at the expedition request on the bulletin board and looked forward to seeing what kind of strategy the leader of the labyrinth conquest team had in mind, Amy and Camille finally joined them. They called Garum back from the orphanage and began their search for the fifty-nine levels in the early afternoon.
