48-The clan starts to move




 It is past four in the afternoon. As the sun begins to set, the ladies begin to prepare the evening meal, and the children are running around outside in high spirits. Those who are off from work and labyrinth maniacs are securing a good spot to watch the monitor, and those who work at the stalls are taking a break from washing the dishes that were dirty from the daytime fights.

 In such a leisurely atmosphere, the ones on the first stand are the Red Devil Gang. The clan that has been attacking the sixty-three levels has broken away from the major clans since the defeat of the fire dragons and is becoming more and more well-known.

 The landscape has changed since the sixty-oneth level and the search relayed in a volcano with bright red lava flowing through it. It's a novelty so it's well received by the crowd and all the labyrinth maniacs are observing the volcano and the new monsters.

 In the midst of all this, there is Amy on the second platform, and the golden one on the third platform. On the third platform, a golden-studied clan leader appeared, and the race to the Black Gate was being relayed from above by God's eyes. Amy secured the black gate just in time to be overtaken by the man with the cropped blonde hair, and there was a small cheer from the small group that was watching.

 Then, at about four-thirty, Tsutomu and the others entered the black gate to the sixty levels. The labyrinth maniacs who were watching the second level tilted their heads at the fact that the three of them had attempted the sixty levels without Camille.

 Camille would understand. She was the fierce one who had defeated the Shell Club first by twisting it with force, and she was also a clan leader who had conquered many dungeons before this divine labyrinth was created. In fact, the man who was a labyrinth maniac felt that even though the last time they defeated a fire dragon, even though there was a slump in the early stages, her success was still significant.

 Of course, Tsutomu's recovery, support skills and Garum's ability to receive fire dragon attacks were also appreciated by the man in the labyrinth mania. Without them, the fire dragons could not be defeated.

 And Amy is indeed strong. Even though the God's Dungeon was the first dungeon she dove into, the girl caught up with a major clan group after a year or so of diving and was scouted to join a major clan. She had a lot of fan service to the crowd and good looks, and she quickly became popular.

 However, the clan disbanded after she couldn't get past the shell club and she later became a guild employee. Still, she was popular enough with the populace that her idol was sustained. But Amy apparently had the impression that the man was only popular.

 However, that labyrinth mania would be changed two hours after the fire dragon battle began. It was past eighteen o'clock. It was just after eighteen o'clock and the workers had finished their work and were rushing to the monitors.


''Oh! Are those fire dragons again? Thank God I didn't see it last time!
You're finally on time I'm late for this.
'That's you, Amy! It's been a while since I've seen you.


 The second platform begins to be popular with the workers who were only able to find out about the last fire dragon defeat through word of mouth and newspapers. Other fans of Garum and Amy, as well as those who are interested in the fire dragon battles, begin to flood the second platform.


''Haha, you don't understand. Right now, the Red Demons are the best.
I'd rather have this than a fire dragon.
"You're the ones who saw it last time! I'm going to go!


 Those who were labyrinth maniacs and had seen the previous fire dragon battle waited at the first platform to gather more up-to-date information than the fire dragons, while those who hadn't seen it went to the second platform.

 And by that time, the fire dragon's scales had begun to peel off and Amy was in the middle of chopping up its tail. Fast movements with Amy's haste constantly granted. Fire dragon blood danced with each swing of the twin swords. Under Tsutomu's direction, Garum uses a hate combo of Warrior Howl and Shield Throw to draw the fire dragon's attention, while Amy attacks other parts of the body to adjust the damage she deals to the fire dragon.


'Twin Wave Slash.'


 Slashes fly from the end of it as Amy swings her twin swords as she runs across the ground, dancing. Amy of Rampant Dancing. It's the origin of her two names.

 The audience cheered Amy as she fought a good fight against the fire dragon. And when she severed the fire dragon's tail, wild voices and yellow voices danced.

 The labyrinth man who had been watching the fire dragon fight from the beginning realized that he was wrong. With Camille, it had taken him three hours to cut off the tail. But now he was able to cut off the tail in two hours. And not only the tail, but also the hind legs and back are carved with many cuts.

 If things continue to go on without incident, the thought comes to mind that they will be able to defeat the fire dragon faster than Camille. His guess was correct.

 When the fire dragon was about to burn its scars, Amy jumped on the fire dragon's head and slammed a rock-splitting blade into its forehead. Amy pulls out her twin swords on the fire dragon that is on its back and lands neatly on the ground. Haste is always sent to her.

 The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have the right kind of equipment. Their movements are as if there is no stagnation in them. You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.

 The time is now 20 o'clock and we have entered the prime time when the most people gather in front of the monitor. At that time, the number of people gathered at the first and second units was about the same. The owner of the food stall in the vicinity of the second platform was very enthusiastic about the large number of customers coming and going. The more they made, the more food they sold, the more ridiculous the food was and the more screams of joy were heard from the stalls.

 The madness ended with the fire dragon. Amy caught the fire dragon wobbling from too much blood and slammed her twin swords into one of its eyes, catching the fire dragon off guard. A cheer went up from the crowd at the same time as the crushed fire dragon screamed. People gathered at the second platform, caught by the cheers.

 The other major clans and others came to watch the second platform as well, caught by the cheers. The first army PT was taught Tsutomu's warfare techniques by a man from Aldrete Crow's informant, and the golden investigation came back to see how the three of them attacked the fire dragon since they lost the competition earlier. And the cadres of the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad who had returned after the outer dungeon expedition were also watching the situation.

 Those three major clans had yet to accomplish the defeat of the Fire Dragon. So they had gathered at the second platform to gather information on the fire dragon's attack. The crowd around them buzzed with the major clans that had gathered one after another and opened up a path for them.

 Soon after, the fire dragon's other eye was also gouged out by Amy. From there, the fire dragon began to fight the three of them, relying on sound and smell. Although the fire dragon's sense of smell and hearing was high enough to make it a battle, the loss of its eyesight was still fatal.



Amy! I love you!
You're the best, Amy.
No, but unlike last time, Garum and that, you know. That guy Tsutomu is attacking you too, right? It didn't look like you were attacking much last time.
Amy Mmm!
Amy! Amy!


 Some of those watching the monitor look uncomfortable with the Amy calls that are bubbling up. Of course, not everyone watching likes Amy, and some have come to watch her fight with the fire dragon. Some have come to watch Garum and Tsutomu. They were disgusted by the loud Amy fans, and they drank their drinks in disgust.

 But it's true that the commotion brings people together. Dozens of people begin to flow out of the first table to the second table.

 Then Amy steadily chipped away at the fire dragon that had lost its eyes, and the fire dragon collapsed and began to emit particles after about an hour and a half. The crowd, which was almost the same as the first one, shouted in delight. The air in front of the monitor was filled with people's voices. The stall's pots and pans shook with the vibrations of their mighty voices.

 Amidst the loudest cheers that surpassed the previous fire dragon defeat, the three fire dragon defeats were a success. The three smiling and high-fiving each other were shown on the second platform. And the crowd that saw Amy and Tsutomu reaffirmed that the report by the Sollit company was really a lie.

 From that still unstoppable storm of cheering, the major clansmen broke away and quickly made their way to their own clan house. An Aldoret Crow informant approached the clan leader.


''That's the finished product. How did you like it?'
I don't think we're ready for that yet. It's just. It doesn't have to be perfect. There's a chance for us to win.


 The man who was the Clan Leader of Aldoret Crow looked up at the information man with a young look on his face. With a height and face that didn't look like he was very much in his twenties, he returned to the clan house with a fresh smile on his face.


'That was awesome! Let's do it ourselves!
'Yes. I think it's fine.
Don't be so cautious.
Leave it to me. I'll do it.


 The man who was the Clan Leader of the Golden Examining Clan cheerfully raised his hands, and the women surrounding the man responded to him in a variety of ways.

 The clan members of the Labyrinth Control Squad looked at the scene on the monitor as if they were watching a farce. That kind of thing was just a lifeless game. Most clan members looked down on the explorers who only hid in the divine dungeons.

 However, the clan leader of the Labyrinth Conqueror's clan, a slightly skinny woman, was muttering something in a small voice as she repeated the image of Tsutomu moving over and over in her head. The huge beast-like man walking next to her simply followed her mindlessly.


 --Oooh--


 When the three returned to the guild after defeating the fire dragon, the guild staff greeted them with applause, and a storm of applause erupted from the surrounding searchers, mainly from the good-natured ones. A chilling whistling sound was heard as Amy returned their thanks, even though she looked embarrassed.

 Seeing the scene of Amy being congratulated by the explorers for breaking through the fire dragon, Tsutomu felt half happy and half lonely. This would have helped Amy regain her confidence as an attacker. However, defeating the fire dragon would be considered to have wiped out the two names of the lucky ones, and this PT contract would be terminated.

 It was a very good PT, Tsutomu thought again. If it wasn't for the two of them, Tsutomu didn't think they would have been able to explore the labyrinth at such a fast pace. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what would have happened if he had teamed up with an insect explorer.


'Good job, Tsutomu!'


 Camille, who was behind the reception desk, greets Tsutomu while lowering her eyebrows. Her voice is also a little low, as if she's frustrated that she lost the time to defeat the fire dragon.


''Yes. Thank you for your hard work. It's the second time, so it went much better.''
Indeed, this time, both Garum and you were attacking.
So don't be so disheartened.
I'm not tired of it.


 Camille denied Tsutomu's words of concern by bobbing her face. Tsutomu's smirk lowered his expression.


'I guess this concludes our PT contract. Thank you for your concern.
'No, it was us who caused the trouble for Tsutomu. It's a matter of course. If you have any other wishes, please let me know. I'll do what I can to make it happen.
No, I've had enough.


 They bowed to each other, and Garum was watching them near the black gate, looking serious and pondering something. And as they tried to continue talking, Amy interrupted them.


''Hey Guild Chief! Is there nothing I can do? We killed the fire dragon!
Well done.


 Camille tried to respond coldly, thinking that Amy had come to her with some kind of sarcasm about the time to defeat her, but Amy's unmasked smile drained her of her venom. She squinted happily as Camille patted Amy's head.


'See, Tutom too! I'm very active!
'I've given you enough credit over there. You've done well.


 Tsutomu also joined Camille in stroking Amy's head and her cat ears twitched and moved to assert themselves. Amy looked down to hide her face.

 When Tsutomu and Camille let go of her hand, Amy looked up at the two of them with regret. Then she noticed herself and blushed a bit. The fact that I had put my father and mother in the middle of those two.


'Ughhhh, let's launch! And Camille! Hey!


 Amy took Camille's hand as she began to say in a hurry to cover up the blush on her face. What about Camille? I looked at Tsutomu as if to say. He quickly nodded.

 Amy pulled Camille along and headed out of the guild. Tsutomu called out to Garum, who was frozen in the back.


'Garum? I heard we're going to launch now, do you have something to do?
... no, no. Let's go.


 Garum, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally came back from the sea of thoughts at Tsutomu's words and quickly came to stand next to him. And together they followed Camille and Amy.
