After meeting with a young man named Daryl, who was recommended by Garum, Tsutomu returned a letter to the major clans with details of the project and the reward. The next day, he received the approval of three clans to participate in the project.

　After that, Tsutomu discussed with two newspaper publishers to prepare for the project, and after receiving confirmation from them, he secured a venue for the event. Seven days later, he announced that Aldoret Crow, Golden Crow, and the Maze Seizure Team would be coming together to cover the project. Three days later, it was the day of the plan to release information and guidance for Tsutomu.

　Each clan arrived at the venue with about ten people, and the people from the newspaper companies took care of the reception. The people from the newspaper company were nervous to meet the people who they saw very often among the major clans, but they did their work well and quickly.

　Aldrete Crow is led by a small boyish looking clan leader who looks like a small boy in stature, and is joined by a white mage and an information man in a PT that incorporates three different roles that have recently begun to show their heads.

　The golden investigation is accompanied by nine women who are lined up around the clan leader with trimmed blonde hair. At the tail end of the group is Amy's best friend, a blonde elf named Diniel, who is escorted at a slight distance.

　The labyrinth conqueror is conspicuous by a large, bear-like man who doesn't seem to be the same person, and the receptionist, a newspaper man, is quite frightened. A silver-haired elf clan leader, a woman with eyes that seemed to have abandoned her emotions, is next to her, and behind her, men with swallowed-up faces are guarding the clan leader as if they were protecting him, and they are on alert for the area.


The clan leader is protected by a group of men with swallowed faces. I knew you were here too.
It's been a while.


　Aldrete Crow and the Clan Leader of the Golden Probe raised the corners of their mouths as they looked at each other. The two of them knew each other as major clans, and they had met each other many times in competition in dungeons.


It's not like the Red Devil's group is........gone. Ha, there's plenty of room.
I thought you weren't coming either. It looks like the fire dragon will be fine even if it's like this.
As it is, you've got a lot on your mind. You and me both.
...Yes.


　He replied in agreement to the golden clan leader who looked at the non-attacker position behind him. As the head of a major clan with many enrolled members, he didn't think the current situation was good. They wanted to change it if it could be changed, but through trial and error, the Red Clan broke through the Fire Dragon with the traditional PT structure of 4 attackers and 1 healer.

　This further increased the demand for attacker jobs and widened the gap between jobs. That's where the fire dragon strategy with a three-person PT came in. The sight of a knight with a low STR (attack power) playing an active part in the fight was burned into their eyes. Tsutomu, the PT's healer, who was known for his good fortune, made a suggestion. There was no way they wouldn't get on board.


'Tsk. I thought we could have it all to ourselves.''
Hey, hey, kid. You've got some guts. I mean, you guys are already in shape. Have you been in touch with them?
'Maybe so, maybe not,'
You still look so pissed off...


　He swore at the Aldoret Crow clan leader who looked like the neighborhood's bad boy. Then he left the farewell and this time, the golden clan leader headed towards the Maze Control Squad.


''Oi. You're back too. Did you come to hear information about the fire dragon?　Or are you a flying heel?
..........


　The golden clan leader didn't listen to any of the golden clan leader's words as he began to speak one-sidedly, and when the big man interrupted him, the golden clan leader whistled to deceive him and walked away.

　Despite this exchange, the three clans entered the hall and began to sit on chairs with their own clan names on them, and all of them saw Tsutomu getting ready on the platform in front of them. Tsutomu, who was the one who had called them to this place, was fiddling with his magic tools impatiently.


''Ah, Testes.''


　Tsutomu is checking the operation of a magic tool that looks like a microphone with a wind magic stone built into it. Aldrete Crow and the Golden Examination are curious about Tsutomu, and those waiting behind the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad look at him suspiciously.

　When the clan leader of the Labyrinth Conqueror's clan tapped the big man's log-like arm in a hurried manner, the big man moved forward and approached the platform a little closer, breathing heavily through his nose.

　Tsutomu tilted his head at the big man who came cautiously up to the stage and suddenly began to take deep breaths, but he didn't care to recheck his manuscript. The big man took a few deep breaths and went back to the leader.


''Well it doesn't smell like death.''
Yes.


　Hearing the big man's answer, the clan leader replied briefly and covered his mouth with his hand to hide it. To be precise, Tsutomu had been killed once by the first blazing old dragon, but since then he had spent three months in the dungeon without dying once, although he had been hiding in the dungeon. There was no mistaking the big man's sense of smell.

　And she was convinced by the big man's words that Tsutomu had the ability to join the clan of the Labyrinth Hegemony, and she looked at him with eyes that were not those of a dead fish, but were full of life.

　The main activity of the clan known as the Labyrinth Control Squad is to go around the outside dungeons and thin out the monsters in the dungeons so that they don't increase too much and flood the outside. There are rare occasions when they defeat the innermost master at the end of the dungeon and make the dungeon disappear, but basically the main purpose of the clan is to go around the dungeon and thin out the monsters.

　If a dungeon is left unattended and filled with monsters, they will roam the area in search of food and eventually invade inhabited villages and towns. Villages and towns without the sturdy barriers and strength of this labyrinthine city will be no match for the monsters.

　The Maze Hegemony is the oldest clan that has existed since before the birth of the divine dungeon, and was created by the people of a village or town to prevent human casualties from these monsters. In the past, it was the only clan that had no shortage of people who volunteered for the Maze Conqueror's Team, but after the creation of the God's Dungeon, the situation has changed dramatically.

　As more and more seekers were lukewarmly enjoying the idea of being able to come back to life even if they died, the size of the Labyrinth Conqueror Corps had shrunk compared to before. However, the benefits were also great. By updating the status cards of the divine dungeon, the acquisition of skills, and the rising cost of monster materials, the mortality rate was reduced and the profits were greater.

　However, the quality of the newcomers coming into the clan was drastically reduced. God's dungeons could be brought back to life even if they died. That ingrained perception would inevitably show up when they dove into the outside dungeon. People from God's dungeon had an unconscious misalignment of their perception of death with people, and that misalignment would be fatal in the outside dungeon.

　So Tsutomu, who had accomplished the flying heel and fire dragon attack with the three of them that didn't smell of death, was like a useful person who had fallen to the clan leader of the Labyrinth Conquest Squad. An obsession to secure them by any means possible was swirling within her.


''Oh, are they all in place?''
'Yes!　They should all be here!
Thank you. Now may I ask you to close the door?


　Nervously oblivious to the feverish clan leader of the labyrinth-conquering team, Tsutomu took a deep breath while asking the newspaper man to do so.

　When the door was closed, Tsutomu opened his narrow eyes and looked around at the thirty-odd people and then switched on the magic tool in his hand.


''Then I would like to disclose the information I have now. Please take care of it.''


　When Tsutomu bowed, all but a few of the thirty-odd people bowed lightly.
