Tsutomu, who had moved to the meadow at one level, looked at the plants and trees that flowed with the wind, but after getting a general idea of his current location, he replaced his own potions, just in case, and attached them to his waistband. Since it is a single level, Tsutomu thought that he wouldn't almost be in a tight spot, but he was prepared for an insect explorer who didn't have the luxury of time to think about it.

　There are many poor quality searchers around the first level, so you can't be too careful, but there aren't many who are reckless enough to attack the members of a major clan. If they put their hands on them, Leon would go all out to catch that person, and the difference in ability was obvious from the level to begin with. A bug seeker can't beat any of the three of them.

　When Tsutomu finished switching potions, Barbara was staring at the meadow swaying in the wind, slowly moving the large, round ears on top of her head, while Eunice looked around with bored eyes and immediately began practicing her heels.

　Tsutomu had asked the two of them questions on the way to the guild on the way to come to the guild, asking them about the monsters and safe points that would appear at each simple level. As a result, Barbara was only familiar with the fifty-one to fifty-three levels that were being leveled, and conversely, Eunice answered all the questions correctly.

　In addition, when Eunice was being stalked by a monster using a raise, she made an effort to stick it out as long as she could so that Leon would have as much room as possible to prepare his equipment and avoid dying. Therefore, he has a lot of experience in combat as far as survival is concerned. So, in fact, for Eunice, coming to the grasslands would not yield much of a harvest.

　However, Barbara's main focus is on leveling at the fifty-one to fifty-three levels, and the rest of the time she only dives into the beach at the forty-one level to get information from the monitor and rarely to procure recovery fish. I have rarely dived the other levels since I crossed them.

　So, although I am used to dealing with beast-based monsters such as grass wolves (verdant wolves) and red bears (red grizzly bears) in the fifty-one levels, I neglected to deal with bipedal monsters such as goblins and orcs. Tsutomu had sensed this when he saw Barbara in the last canyon exploration, so he suggested her to explore one level.


'Let's just explore at random for now and look for goblins and kobolds, shall we?
Okay.


　Barbara, who was wearing a round helmet, nodded at Tsutomu's words and began walking through the meadow as soon as possible. Tsutomu was inwardly impressed by the fact that the flying heels of Eunice as she walked began to take on a slightly round shape, and followed Barbara.

　Then three goblins quickly emerged from the shadows of the tall grass field. When they noticed the three of them, their bodies stiffened a bit, then they raised the club in their hands in a grating voice.


''Barbara-san. Combat Cry, please.''
Combat Cry!


　The three of them began to face Barbara in unison as a red fighting spirit spread around her and enveloped the goblins. As soon as Barbara held her spear, Tsutomu immediately called out to her.


''Ah, Barbara. You don't have to attack. Just be defensive and be conscious of not being surrounded.''


　At Tsutomu's instruction, Barbara nodded and drew her spear, catching the goblin's club with her round shield and pushing it back. The goblins, whose bare strength is also defeated by the overwhelming level difference, are easily pushed back. Tsutomu thought there was no problem seeing Barbara pushing back the three goblins more and more, so he pointed his white staff at the goblins.


''Haste.''


　The three flying blue ki hit three goblins, increasing their AGI (agility). The slightly quicker goblins catch Barbara off guard and she takes a club blow to her arm and then several more blows. However, her VIT is A-. Unless she is hit by a critical strike, a goblin attack is synonymous with being stung by an insect.

　Quickly getting used to it, Barbara begins to stabilize on pushing the goblin back again. Tsutomu heals the weakened goblin with a round shield blow. Eunice is practicing her flying heels, being aware of the heels that Tsutomu has released.

　After a while, goblins and dog-faced kobolds hear the sound of the blow and gather around. Tsutomu instructed Barbara to shoot the Combat Cry, then stepped back and avoided the kobold's clawed scratches.

　The group of goblins and kobolds grew to about ten in total. But they are only as tall as a man's child and their strength is weak. If they were alone, they would not be enemies. But if you have a group of them, it's a different story.


"d*mn!


　Barbara was completely surrounded by those ten animals and forced her legs to move out of the group. The group immediately came to chase them. Barbara pushed them back one by one, but they were hit by the goblins that came around from the side. If you are too late to deal with them, the monsters will come around and surround you.

　He is surrounded again and his helmet is hit with a club, Barbara frowns at the sound of the gunning sound and pushes the kobold away again. Tsutomu watches over Barbara as she repeats this and sends a heel to the weakened monster.


'Eunice, you should try flying at the monster too. It would be better for you to have a target to practice on.
I understand.


　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing. It still hasn't reached the monsters about seven meters away, but it was growing.


''At that rate, I guess I won't need a week.
You will have two days to learn.
'I see. Good luck with that.
"...heel.


　Tsutomu, who wasn't particularly interested in Younis, gave a safe reply, and flew his airblade to hunt the goblins that appeared again, counting the number of goblins that appeared and making sure that no more than fifteen of them headed towards Barbara. Eunice was inwardly annoyed by Tsutomu's reply, which didn't even give her a look, but she started practicing her heels again.


　--Oooh--


　Three hours later, Barbara was fighting the goblins without a break. The heat in her armor was steaming and she was out of breath. Her brain isn't getting much oxygen and her thinking has become much slower. Before that happened, Tsutomu suggested that they take a break from sweeping the goblins once, but Barbara silently continued to fight the goblins with her hand pointed at him.

　Barbara continued to fight the dozen or so goblins in a state of heat and blank thought. Her thoughts were blank with the heat that clung to her body, but her body did not stop. After dealing with the goblins for the entire three hours, the motions had become so ingrained in her that her body moved unconsciously.

　She took a step back beforehand when she saw the goblin's cudgel raised in motion, and caught the left kobold's body strike with her round shield and played it off. The cudgel passed in front of her and pushed the goblin back with a stone thrust on the lower part of the spear.


'Haste.'


　Although Tsutomu's haste always enhances the goblin's AGI, Barbara is able to stand around without being surrounded by goblins and kobolds too much. As long as you don't get surrounded, it's easier to heal Barbara, which makes it easier for Eunice to take on the heel role.

　If you're a neophyte, you can use your fly to drop your heel from the air or release your heel as if you were throwing a ball from the ground into a mountainous area to support the tank, even if it's surrounded. However, it is too heavy a burden to let Eunice, who is a novice at flying it, so Tsutomu had decided to thoroughly teach Barbara not to be surrounded by monsters.

　If he could do that, he would be able to perform the minimum role Tsutomu envisioned. The ideal for a tank is to be able to fight without being surrounded by monsters, and to be able to defeat them without falling, but in order to get to that point, it is necessary for him to have some prior training. This is why Tsutomu doesn't expect Barbara to go that far, as she has no experience in this area. It's a good idea to attract monsters and not be easily surrounded by groups of people, and to avoid dying as much as possible. He thinks that it is good if that is all he can do.

　And as she began to cough as her limits began to show after moving for a long time, Tsutomu dealt with the goblins and kobolds by cutting them in half with his airblaze and other weapons. When the swarm of monsters disappeared, Barbara collapsed to the ground with a loud noise.


'Eunice. Please keep your medic and heels flying to Mr. Barbara.''


　At Tsutomu's direction, Eunice swallowed the cheap blue potion and then began to fly the medic and heels to Barbara. A round shape was almost ready, although the heels flooded like mist in places. The mass of green qi hit Barbarra, but the effect was only about 20% of its normal potency.

　After five minutes of prostrating herself and gasping for breath, she recovered from the medic and heels that had sent her flying repeatedly by Eunice and stood up with a whimper. Barbara took off her helmet and parted her brown hair that stuck to her forehead, her eyes a little vacant. The large, round bear ears on top of her head were also hanging down. Tsutomu called out to her with a smile pasted on his face.


''Good job. That was pretty good, wasn't it?''
'Feeling good...?　It's only a goblin and this is what happens. I don't know how long it will take me to become a tank... haha.
''No, no, I was hazing the monsters, and as long as I don't get surrounded by them, it's passable enough. If you keep this up, you'll be able to get into a first-tier PT as a tank in a month!
Oh, really?


　Barbara reacted to Tsutomu's cheerful tone and the word "January" by looking at him with wide eyes. He looked back at her and affirmed her with a smile.


It's not a good idea to tell a lie. If you advance step by step, you will definitely become a tank in the army. Your level is quite high, and the job of heavy knight is a good match for your race. And besides, dealing with beast monsters isn't bad.
Yeah?


　Barbara could sense her own growth as well after Tsutomu's specific words, and her bear ears, which had been looking down, began to swell up. Seeing that a bit of light had begun to return to her vacant eyes, Tsutomu nodded his head in agreement with her in a nod of agreement.


''Then tomorrow, let's go a little further up the hierarchy to around the sixth level. I've gotten much better at dealing with the goblins and kobolds, so let's consolidate those moves, shall we? After that, let's deal with the skeletons around the wilderness.
Yes, sir!


　The first thing to do is to pick up the shield and the spear, which were thrown out with a motivated expression. Eunice looked at Tsutomu, who had praised Barbara, with a stinking look on his face.


(A bit too much of a quirk, I guess. Well, it looks like he was motivated.)


　Tsutomu is "Live Dungeon! When I founded my own clan in and was a clan leader in, I did the same technique I did for Barbara when training newbie clan members who were new to the game.

　Always praise a new member if he or she does something good in their behavior. Doing so makes a difference in the retention rate of new clan members. In particular, this is quite effective for beginners and novices, and Tsutomu made sure to make the chat as lively as possible when training beginners.

　However, because he couldn't see the expression of the other person's face and the tone of his voice in the chat room alone, he chose the wrong words many times. However, Tsutomu hates new clan members to leave immediately, and he has been improving this skill. Therefore, if he could anticipate a person's personality in person, he would almost never make a mistake in his choice of words.

　Barbara's level is sixty-five. The fact that she would struggle against a goblin like that would be the first thing that would be strange, but she would still point out and praise him for any little thing. Given her personality, Tsutomu stepped in and gave her a goofy compliment, saying that she had a personality that was humble but didn't feel bad about being praised.

　Incidentally, Eunice's persona falls under the category of a twisted intermediate who is getting a little more comfortable with the game. If you praise them, they tend to become unhappy. If you praise them too closely, it tends to have the opposite effect, for example, if you are a proud person or a high school student.

　And since Tsutomu doesn't have very good feelings towards Eunice, he thought it would be good to teach her a lesson in a casual manner.


''Well then, let's go home for today, shall we?''


　Barbara responded cheerfully to Tsutomu's words, and Eunice sniffed stupidly before returning the small words.
