56-The first step




 When Leon and the other five returned to the Clan House, which was about a five-minute walk from the guild, Leon rubbed his stomach and headed to the Clan House dining room. Tsutomu was invited to join us, but he refused and immediately took out a paper from his magic bag and placed it on the desk and began to write down the problem with a pen.


'Oh, Barbara, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I would like to ask you a few questions.
...What is it?


 Recognizing that her abomination in front of Leon and her own position in the golden investigation knighthood was at stake, Barbara looked up from her face, which had been lying face down, and turned her gloomy eyes to Tsutomu. Barbara was chosen because she was the highest level of the knighthood, and at that time, she joined the first army PT, even though she was supported by the other knighthoods. The result was a complete drag, and Barbara had sunk so low that her huge body appeared to have shrunk.

 Tsutomu looked at Barbara like that and abandoned all expectations of her level and asked her a question.


''How has Barbara-san raised her level up to now?''
''Well I had Leon take me to the dungeon and update the hierarchy and I was up.
"...By the way, what were you doing when they were taking you away?
...luggage carrier.
(Yes.)


 Heavy knights tended to have low DEX (Dexterity), so even if her fly manipulation was awkward, she still crashed to the ground as it was when she was caught by a wyvern and dropped from the sky. Normally, a fifty-one level abduction bird would improve her fly skills even if she didn't want to, so it should be almost impossible for her to be slammed to the ground intact.


(Maybe the tier update was done with Attacker 4 and Barbara, and he didn't have the opportunity to get kidnapped by the kidnapping bird.... (I'm surprised you were able to get it up to sixty-five with that.)


 The kidnapped bird can be neutralized in the air because Diniel, the archer, is there. Even if you are kidnapped by it, it's easy to imagine Leon holding Barbara in the air in a princess hug, and Tsutomu sighed inwardly while silently writing the problem on the paper. Leon is a prince of golden research, but at the same time, he has the ability to be a knight protecting the princess. First of all, Tsutomu thought, I have to change that environment.


''For now, I'm going to ask Barbara-san to go to the dungeon again in the future, so please take a short break while watching this.
Oh, yes....


 After being handed a sheet of paper with a list of problems with moderate margins for ease of reading, Barbara shrewdly headed to the Clan House cafeteria while holding the sheet.

 And next, Tsutomu called out to Eunice, who was recovering her mental strength by drinking a cheap blue potion after a number of foggy heels, while pulling a face. The blue potion she is drinking is a newcomer's blue potion that is famous for its good price and bad quality.


''Eunice-san is a conquest of flying heels for now. ........You don't have to drink that to practice.
It's okay. You must learn to fly a flying heel quickly. So when you've learned to fly a flying heel, you can teach me the one you just used.


 She tells Tsutomu that even as she puts up with the gusto left in her mouth. The blue potion Eunice is drinking is so bad that she thinks it might be harmful to the human body. However, she repeatedly drinks the tasteless potion and heels whenever her mental power seems to run out. Apparently, seeing Tsutomu's movement earlier, Eunice was suddenly motivated by her motivation.

 It was true that if Yunis could master the recovery skills he flew and use some of his support skills, he would probably be able to break through the fire dragon. However, that was an attack by four attackers who were level 70 and had plenty of experience in fighting fire dragons.

 It will take a long time to get through the volcanic hierarchy by raising the attacker's level to 80 and then breaking through after getting used to it. The higher you go, the harder it is to raise the level, and it's not like a game where you have to pay for items like doubling experience. The leveling process becomes considerably longer and steeper.

 Besides, you can raise your level to a hundred until you reach ninety levels, but the level is then a must. Up to the 90th level, you could challenge the appropriate status, which was set for each master of the hierarchy, by raising the level one level higher. However, at the 100th level, you can't do that, so you'll definitely be limited to 4 attackers.

 But if the clan leader didn't want a tank, the worst thing Tsutomu was going to teach the healer only the recovery and support skills to skip to the healer and withdraw. However, Leon didn't feel good about the current situation of knighthoods and white mages, so he wanted to introduce tanks. Therefore, Tsutomu wanted Eunice to think about operating a healer with a tank first.


''Apart from that, if Leon-san says he doesn't want a tank, I'll tell you, but it seems to be different.
..........


 When Tsutomu quoted Leon, Eunice stared at him evasively and snapped the bottle mouth of the potion into his mouth. Eunice, who drank the blue potion as he looked up and poured it directly down his throat, didn't reply and began to fly off his heels again.


''Hee, Keppu.''
Well, don't take it too hard. We'll see how it goes for a week or so.


 Eunice quickly pressed her mouth as she drank too much of the potion or burped lightly. Tsutomu didn't show any concern and left the place, leaving the clan house to eat an early dinner outside.

 Tsutomu returned in about an hour and a half and joined Barbara, who was looking intently at the paper Tsutomu had given her. He also calls out to Eunice, who is still practicing her heels, and Tsutomu proposes to her.


''For now, why don't these three go to the dungeon together?
...why do you go without Leon?


 Tsutomu replies to Eunice, who looks up at him with a terribly suspicious eye, with a good-natured smile on her face.


''I don't mind inviting Leon-san to join you, but it's only one level to dive, right?
Ouch!
'Yes. But it doesn't mean I'll be there forever. I'll move up the hierarchy as Barbara-san gets used to it.
"...why do you need to go down one level after all this time? It is useless.
'I think Barbara should start over at the first level, and it's up to her to decide if it's futile. What do you think?


 Tsutomu smiled but said it flatly, and Barbara stiffened her body when he said that to her. She didn't expect to be pushed one level straight away like this at all, and her thoughts stopped for a bit.

 However, Barbara found out that she was not good enough in the canyon just now. She wondered if it would be a good idea to start at the first level, but she was told by Leon. Are you satisfied with the current situation? Isn't it hard for you? If you want to change the status quo, he said, why don't you try this thing he calls a tank?

 It's a good thing that you're not as helpful as you could have been, because that's what you're doing. Leon is one of the best explorers and he is an unfortunate knightly position that is useless in dungeon exploration.

 It's a good thing that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you have a lot of money.

 And the fact that even that Garum had quit as an explorer and chosen to become a guild staffer made Barbara despair that there was no future for knighthood, so she still looked for something useful to do outside of explorers to repay Leon for standing by her.

 But because she was a woman, she was rejected for most of the manual labor type jobs, and even if she tried to be a shop assistant, she was not very welcome because of her good looks but her strikingly large body. Now he uses his height and size to stand out from the crowd and earn money by peddling drinks in front of the monitors.

 But while he's working as a vendor in front of the monitor, he sees a PT member with Leon on the first stand. The three attackers and the healer women looked like they were having a great time and she was very jealous of them.


'I do. I don't mind starting over at the first level.


 Maybe Eunice was right and this was a waste of time. But if there was even the slightest possibility, Barbara couldn't help but try. She didn't want to be just longing for that scene anymore.

 Tsutomu, who accepted the powerful eyes that were a change from the dark eyes she showed earlier, nodded once and then exhaled with a huff.


''It's settled. Nice to meet you.''
'It's nice to meet you too. I want you to tank me.
All right. What about Mr. Eunice?


 Tsutomu shifted his gaze from a motivated Barbara to Eunice, her fluffy tail wagging warily behind her.


''You must go. I don't want anything to happen to Barbara.''
Then let's get going. Heel.


 Tsutomu replied to Eunice's words with a forefinger and a spherical heel out at the end of it, and she raised her fox ears and gritted her teeth.
