The next day we went five times against the Queen Spider (Queen Spiders), and although we got to a pretty good point on the last one, we didn't win by a long shot. Since Stephanie started paying attention to the bookmark thread and slashing, the two tanks had a lower mortality rate and the attacker was able to move a lot more.

　Then the Attacker's twin swords finally caught the queen spider's soft belly. The gelatinous guts leaked out and the attacker went in pursuit, but a rain of small spiders rained down from the web above to help the queen spider. The attacker is crushed by the avalanche of spiders, and the queen spider stops him, killing both tanks as they struggle to deal with the spiders. In the end, it was only Stephanie and she was left jittery.


'd*mn!'


　The attacker man shouted to vent his frustration as he returned to the guild. The two tanks were freaked out by the man's appearance, but it was time to get away from him.


''Well that was close. But the deadline is tomorrow. The only thing left to do is to deal with that little spider, and we'll be able to defeat it for sure. What should we do? Let's have a little discussion, both of you.


　Stephanie also looked regretful after returning to the guild, but she quickly switched and called the two tanks to discuss the next day's measures. And so the two tanks and the attacker man sat at the round table provided by the guild.


''........What.......''
...No, I thought you were going home, twin swordsman.


　Stephanie was a little surprised when the attacker sat down without saying anything, but said sarcastically as she sat down herself. Then the attacker man let out a chuckle.


'You can't blame her for saying that, can you?
Are you sure it's for Master Tsutomu?
What?　No, no, no. It's Mr. Sauva.
What the..... No, well, that's okay. Then let's get started.


　As for Stephanie, she wanted to make him apologize for one of his apologies, but she decided that it would be unpalatable to be deflected here, so she immediately began a discussion between the PTs. First, I instructed the two tanks to shoot Combat Cry if a small spider appeared, and then I asked them to split up and take on the small spider. Stephanie and the attacker were to split up and eliminate the little spiders.

　When I suggested to the attacker that he should also take care of the spider and cut the bookmark thread, he surprisingly complied with the plan without hesitation. Stephanie looked at the attacker man and suddenly thought to herself.


(If you ask me, he sure does look like Sova.)


　Sova, Aldrete Crow's first attacker, had a similar attitude to his attacker at first. And the way Sova had begun to admit to Tank and the way the attacker was acting now was very similar to the way the attacker was acting now.

　The attacker's man's attitude, though still hateful, had clearly changed. Stephanie was curious about what on earth Sova had done, but after the review meeting, she returned home to the guild with the PT members.

　And when Stephanie was in the guild's cafeteria, while eating and turning skills, she was approached from behind.


''........What are you doing?''
Oh, Sova. I was just going to look for you when we were done eating.


　Sova took a seat in front of her with a curt look on her face as she looked suspiciously at Stephanie, who was turning her support skills under her chair.

　The two of them were peers who joined Aldoret Crow at the same time, so they were friends to some extent. Incidentally, Bittman is also a peer, but they are quite far apart in age, so they are not as close as Sova is.


''How about that guy?''
"That guy?
That guy, the swordsman. How are you doing?
'Oh, thank you for that. You're very perceptive for a Sauva.


　Sova evasively turned her gaze away from Stephanie's bland reply.


''Well that guy asked me to do something about it. He asked me to do something about the attacker's disrespect for the tank.''
Master Tutom?
Oh, yeah.


　Sova nodded to Stephanie, who was leaning forward a lot, surprised and coyly. Sova's eyes narrowed boringly at Stephanie, who happily returned to her seat, "I see," she said.

　Sova had also experienced hating the tank when the three roles were first introduced. It's a good thing that you're able to have a great deal of time to defeat a single monster, and heavy knights and other heavy equipment move slowly, so you have to pay attention to the search.

　Why should I care about such uselessness was questionable to Sova, and he only recognized those with skills and experience that were better than his own among the tanks - only Bittman and Garum. And Sova was also one of the best attackers, so his influence in the clan was strong.

　However, after Sova had conquered the canyon with a PT that incorporated all three roles and realized their usefulness, she had become much more rounded in her attitude towards tanks. In fact, the presence of the tank made it easier to defeat monsters and reduced the burden on the attacker significantly.


''But thanks to you, it helped. Thanks Sova.
'd*mn, I was just pissed off at the way I looked at myself before. I wasn't following his instructions, and it wasn't for your benefit.
''It's true, he did look a bit like Sova. I'm a twin swordsman!　And...
f*ck you.


　When Stephanie imitated the man's voice with her hands on her hips and a muffled look on her face, Sauva turned away with her elbows on the desk.

　Sova's job as a swordsman is said to be one of the safest jobs among attackers, but he often says and does so because he takes pride in his job. This is because it's the same job as the clan leader of the Red Demon Army, which he admires.

　The Clan Leader of the Red Demon Clan uses a variety of weapons and fights monsters brilliantly. They are also known as the Red Mage because their weapons' blades turn red due to the monsters' returning blood and their unique skill of granting flame heat, which is called the Red Mage.

　But the Red Mages have yet to introduce the three roles. The admirer doesn't rely on the tank and fights the monsters alone, while he relies on the tank to fight. Although Sova is unhappy about this, she doesn't let it out in battle.


'Tomorrow is the end of the training and all that. For the past three weeks, the alternate healer in the first army has been quite complimentary to Luke. I don't know if you'll still be assessed this month, but you might be demoted next month.
You'll be fine. You're gonna be fine.
"Huh?


　Sova, who was trying to calm Stephanie's mood, sounded bareheaded at her confident exuding reply. The more she used the word "demotion" to Stephanie, the more she lost confidence in herself, so Sauva had come up with the word demotion as soon as she was at a disadvantage.

　But Stephanie was convinced that there was no way she could be beaten by an alternate. She had checked the monitor a few times and the alternate healer was as good as Stephanie's three weeks ago. Stephanie didn't feel that she could lose to such a replacement healer.


It's time to attack the problem of the 65th level. Prepare yourself as best you can.''


　Sova left the dining room as if to escape after releasing a discarded line to Stephanie, whose mood had changed from three weeks ago. Stephanie looked at him and tilted her head curiously.


　--Oooh--


Well, shall we go?


　The last day of training. In front of the black gate leading to the thirty levels, Stephanie went under the gate after making a final check with the PT members.

　A dimly lit cave that was already familiar to her. Stephanie intercepted the queen spider's surprise attack from above with an airblaze. Soon afterwards, she released her protection on the three of them.

　From this time on, Stephanie, who has also given protection to the attacker, maintains a position where all the PT members are visible. The attacker concentrated on one of the tumbling queen spider's hind legs and slashed off the tip of her leg.

　After a good start, Stephanie muttered a good one and then cut the bookmark thread with the airblade. She turned her gaze to Dorsia, who released a Combat Cry. She also looks very calm and avoids the flying restraining thread.


''Enchanted Blood.''


　Rigas, who has his shortsword granted Enchanted Blood, cautiously approaches the queen spider as she heads towards Dorsia. He would leave most of the attacks to the attacker and do the least amount of attacking himself. Rigas was that single-minded.

　As a form of support for Dorsia, Rigas tries to apply a shortsword to the tip of his leg, but he is avoided by lifting his leg upward with a whimper. However, Rigas does not lose his balance that much even if he hits empty because he is only swinging it as a check.


Ooh!


　The main focus of the attack is the attacker. He has an arm that is surprisingly high in its level range. He shallowly sliced through the queen spider's legs, and while he clicked his tongue one time, he repeated his leg aim attack.


''Heel.''


　Stephanie observes the PT and the queen spider while she flies her heels to Dorsia, who is managing to defend against the leg attack with a shaky hand shield. The effect time of the protector, the status of the tank, is the bookmark thread broken? While checking them, Stephanie flies instructions.


'Mr. Rigas!　Combat Cry!
"Combat Cry.


　Turning to Dorsia, Rigas let loose with a Combat Cry, earning the queen spider hate and taking turns. Stephanie flew her Protectors to Dorsia, who was catching her breath, and then flew them to the other two in turn.


(What a good look. (Today.)


　Stephanie finds a thin bookmark thread on the ground that you have to look hard to see, and she checks the PT situation while cutting it off with her airblade.

　But even if you don't see it, you have some idea of what's going on. The position of the queen spider in the ally's position. The duration of the effect of the support skills is also no problem. Now, Stephanie lightly tightened her grip on her wand and then uttered the name of the skill.


'Haste.


　Stephanie had the attacker give her Haste. Until now, Stephanie hadn't done as much as she could in a fight while maintaining the Haste. This is because unlike pro-tech, if you run out of Haste, the person's experience will change.

　However, Stephanie was confident that she could handle herself now, even with Haste included. With the tank growing, there was less to recover from and the attacker was functioning well, so Stephanie could afford it.

　Just as she stopped, the attacker was surprised by the sensation of being granted a Haste, but immediately began to face the queen spider, who was facing towards the tank. Moving his body lighter than usual, he went to sever the queen spider's white legs.

　The slash aimed at the joint gradually cut into the leg, and the second leg was severed. Rigas then goes after the queen spider, who has lost her balance a bit. He swung his shortsword from the side like an axe and attacked the leg. The wound on the leg is shallow, but the bruises on Rigas's arm are healing from the effects of the Enchanted Blood.

　The battle continued at that rate, and he managed to sever four of his eight legs. All the while, the two support skills continued without a single break, and Stephanie also found and cut the bookmarked threads. And she never failed to give instructions to the tank. If either of them show signs of fatigue, they are immediately replaced and given a break.

　Although the two tanks occasionally receive critical attacks, Stephanie is in no hurry to respond by flying her high heels. Her thoughts were sharpened and she was always calm. She could even be aware of Tsutomu floating at the edge of her vision.

　A queen spider supporting her body with two intact hind legs and two front legs. The attacker turned to Stephanie and pointed to the belly of the queen spider. She nodded silently and checked the bookmark thread and cut it off with her airblade.

　The queen spider was trying to avoid the attacker's attack by moving with the bookmark thread. But the bookmarking thread has already been cut.


''Soraa!''


　The attacker jumped up with his twin swords in both hands and thrust his twin swords into the large belly area from the side of the queen spider. He then sliced through and kicked the white belly and broke away.


'Wait!'


　Stephanie gave the attacker a wait as he tried to fold up. Stephanie could sense the buzz from the nest above. She flew her protection again to the three of them, although there was still plenty of time for the effect to take effect, and she flew her Haste to the attacker.

　The attacker's gaze wandered for a moment at Stephanie's words, but he clicked his tongue for one and moved away from the queen spider. Immediately, the web above them broke and a swarm of small spiders fell in a straw to cover the queen spider.


'You two!'
Combat Cry!
"Combat Cry.


　The two tanks answered Stephanie's call with a combat cry. The two tanks split up and drew the little spiders to them. Stephanie pointed out instructions to the attacker and herself went to deal with the swarm of little spiders that had gathered in Dorsia.


'....Heaven.


　Stephanie almost held her head in her hands when she saw Drusilla's ecstatic expression, but she didn't have time for that, so she waved her wand and dealt with the little spider with her airblade. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　However, the queen spider rushed in with thudding footsteps. Dorsia is hit by the tip of her foot and stuck to the wall. Rigas is still in the process of clearing up. He buys time. Stephanie quickly fires an airblaze at the queen spider.

　The queen spider's guts are leaking out of her side. If we can get past this point, we can defeat it. Stephanie focused on buying time by flying the airblade.

　She opens the bottle of blue potion with her left hand and holds it in her mouth while she kicks it away like a ball, avoiding the little spider's body hit. Stomping on it. The little spider's bodily fluids splashed on Stephanie's black stocking, but she threw the empty bottle away without seeming to care. A swarm of little spiders approaching. A queen spider spying on the situation.


'Airblade.'


　Stephanie grazes the little spider while keeping the queen spider in check with her wind blade. She grabs the little spiders that have jumped on her face and throws them at the other spiders. Like a queen spider, Stephanie stomps on the little spiders and kills them with her foot.


'Combat Cry!


　Then the little spiders that were swarming towards Rigas are eradicated and he unleashes a Combat Cry to gain hate on the queen spider. The attacker man takes care of the little spiders one by one.

　Stephanie then skips her support skills and checks the status of the PT. Except for Rigas, who is currently taking care of the queen spider, they are not that badly hurt. Stephanie flew a heel to Rigas and went to peel off the dorsia that was attached to the wall. Three small spiders had bitten her, but the dorsia looked satisfied, so Stephanie didn't care and pulled her off the wall.

　And most of the little spiders were gone, and only the queen spider was left.


'Airblade,'


　Airblade is a blade of wind. Because of this, the queen spider, which has auditory hair sensitive to air flow, is able to detect it easily and usually avoids it, even if it does not catch it with its eyes. The queen spider, which does not have a bookmark thread, bounces off the airblade to avoid it.

　However, the attacker was waiting at the end of that avoidance. The twin swords stabbed through the protruding protrusion at the end of its belly and its function was lost.

　Rigas thrust his shortsword into the queen spider, which staggered as if weak, and Stephanie slammed the airblaze into it.

　The staggered queen spider rolled over, curled her legs after she was on her back, and ran out of power. The four of them cheered as particles of light began to leak out.
