Thanks for your help.


　Tsutomu, who had been floating on the fly, came down quickly after Stephanie had talked with the three of them for a while. Tsutomu then pointed to the queen spider.


It's a treasure chest drop, why don't you go open it?
'Oh!　It's true!　Let's go, folks!


　After the queen spider's corpse disappeared in a particle light, there was a silver treasure chest sitting there. Since dropping a treasure chest at the boss was quite rare and the contents were expected, Stephanie took her PT members and opened the silver treasure chest together.


''A........one-handed sword, and a shield?　It's kind of toxic, isn't it?


　Stephanie, who took out a green-bladed one-handed sword and shield from her treasure chest, observed the weapons with a quizzical look in her eyes. Tsutomu looks at it from the outside and suggests it with an enlightened look on his face.


It's a very good idea to have a person to meet in the appraisal room for a moment, so may I have that appraised?　I'll take care of the costs.
'What?　Yes, I don't mind but it's okay with all of you, isn't it?


　It is useful to have a certificate of authentication from the guild staff, even if someone else is going to get it or sell it and split the money. It's really a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing with it. You will find that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.


I'm sure you'll be glad to see me.
Yes!


　Cheerfully, Stephanie replied and then entered the Black Gate and returned to the guild. When the PT was disbanded, the three PT members were about to leave. Stephanie stopped them.


'Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for the past three weeks. It's been a great experience for me.
No, no. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm sorry.


　Rigas fumed at Stephanie's gracious curtsy, and Drusilla bowed his head in bemusement. The attacker's person remained silent.


''........I have some knowledge of your circumstances. But don't worry. I'll call on Mr. Luke myself.
'No, no. It's bad.
I can confidently recommend you three to Luke. We'll never let you leave.


　Rigas is teary-eyed at Stephanie's confident words. From behind Stephanie's back, Tsutomu also spoke up to add.


''Oh, I'll talk to him about that. Perhaps you'll be okay about leaving the group, so keep up the good work.


　Tsutomu had actually included a condition about these three people, when they were loaned by Luke, that they postpone their withdrawal. So, since the withdrawal has been postponed for at least two months, the rest is up to the three of them to do their best.

　Tsutomu then went into the appraisal room with the five of them and asked Amy, who was appraising other items in the reception area, to appraise the one-handed sword and the hand shield. Amy looked at Tsutomu and Stephanie in turn, the corners of her mouth twitching, but she took them in a sulky way and turned away and shook her hand away.

　Amy and Tsutomu talked for a while, and after securing a promise to explore the dungeon on their next day off, they left the evaluation room. Then Tsutomu turned back to Stephanie.


''Well then, Stephanie-san, this is the end of your training. Thank you for your hard work.''
"...what?　Is that all you've got?
Yes, sir. Thank you for three weeks. Oh, and may I have the equipment I've been loaning you back?
Yeah, yeah...


　Stephanie was upset when she was told that her training was over, but returned the bottle containing the blue potion that Tsutomu had provided her with. As for Stephanie, she knew the training wasn't over yet. I'm not going to be the only one who has a lot of experience in this field.

　However, Tsutomu continued to speak without revealing Stephanie's inner feelings.


'To be honest, I didn't think I'd be able to break through the thirty levels, but you've done well. I've also improved my skill manipulation and my grasp of the number of seconds is getting better and better. I'm sure that this is the only way to stay in Aldoretto Crow's army.
Thank you very much.


　Stephanie bowed quietly to Tsutomu. But Stephanie couldn't help but wonder if this was the end of the training. It's true that thanks to the morning's training, I've improved a lot in terms of skill manipulation, and although my grasp of seconds is still not perfect, I've become able to do it without using my limbs.

　This is because of the morning training, and Tsutomu's teaching style was also very helpful in manipulating the skills. I'm going to have to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　However, there was still a lot of doubt about the afternoon training. In contrast to the morning, Tsutomu would only watch from a distance in silence and provide the blue potion that was dropped at Aldoret Crow's expense. The only advice he received was about balancing healer and leader, and Tsutomu just watched without giving any example or advice.

　It's true that you could feel the growth in the afternoon training, but Stephanie doubts very much whether it was really worth it for Tsutomu to be there. It's a good idea to have Tsutomu join the PT, as he did in the morning training, to show her the example of what he was doing, and to receive training that she could use as a reference.


(............................Is this how it is?


　Stephanie is looking down with a lump in her throat. But if you think about it, Tsutomu hasn't explored since he defeated the fire dragon. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the dungeon.

　Could it be that she didn't teach the afternoon's training, but couldn't teach it in the first place? While such doubts were swirling inside Stephanie, Tsutomu fumbled with his magic bag and then took out a document.


''I'll give this to Stephanie-san.
Is this...?


　Stephanie rolled up the document handed to her by Tsutomu with sunken eyes, and there was a detailed description of her standing in the document, including a general review of her standing. In addition to state disorders, Medic is also effective in recovering from fatigue, so use it aggressively. Forgetting to set up area heals sometimes. Tsutomu, who had been watching the battle for the last three weeks, had raised the issues with her standing around, such as her standing position when dealing with monsters with flying tools.

　Next, Tsutomu explained how to get around, assuming she went in as a healer in Aldoret Crow's one-armed PT, and the skills to place and shoot. It was packed with the concept of hate, the priority of raises, and many other things.

　The document was his own description of everything related to Tsutomu's current dungeon.


''Oh, please keep that out of the gate. It's handwritten.''
...Are you sure?


　Stephanie looked at Tsutomu with eyes full of suspicion, her hand trembling as she held the document. But Tsutomu had a clear smile on his face.


''That's fine. Stephanie-san is excellent, so she should be able to practice what it says.
You're...


　The flying skills are still spread by Tsutomu himself, so Stephanie didn't expect him to teach her the skills of placing and even shooting. They were one of Tsutomu's unique weapons and not something that could be taught to others so easily.

　But this document, just like the morning training, also describes in detail how to use that skill and how to practice it, so Stephanie was confident that she would probably be able to learn it if she practiced. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of information on how to be a healer using Tsutomu's unique fly. As for the fly, Tsutomu was not very good at it at first, so the process of progressing from an amateur to an expert was described in great detail.

　Stephanie feels that she mastered the technique by thinking it over on her own, as Tsutomu rarely taught her how to stand, and that is an undeniable fact. Stephanie wonders if she can't hand over such a thing that describes everything about Tsutomu, or if she isn't afraid that her current dominant position will be destroyed.

　But Stephanie realized with a huff, and then she was ashamed of herself.


(...how stupid I was.)


　Stephanie remembered that Tsutomu had held a course of his own volition, spreading the three different roles to flying heels. Tsutomu is the kind of guy who spreads information to bail out others without regard for his own position.

　He is the kind of man who discloses information again without regard for his own position. Stephanie wanted to punch herself in the face for almost losing her respect for Tsutomu, even if only temporarily.

　Tsutomu is the best leader in the world, and he is able to teach his skills to those below him without worrying about his position. Stephanie respected Tsutomu again, but bowed deeply.


''Master Tsutomu. I will definitely learn it.
'Yes. I have high hopes for you, Stephanie.


　From now on, I will continue to practice alongside Tsutomu and eventually surpass him. This would be the best way to repay him, Stephanie thought, and she shook hands with a smiling Tsutomu with both hands.


　--▽▽▽--


(Well, Stephanie, you're really good. It was worth the investment in blue poetry.)


　Tsutomu left Stephanie with a smile as she left afterwards, saying that she was going to practice as soon as possible, and then he was still smiling when he saw the blue potion of the forest apothecary that had been reduced considerably. That was how good Stephanie was, and he could expect her to grow in the future.

　Besides, in the morning training, such as skill manipulation and grasping seconds, Tsutomu was able to feel quite responsive after seeing Stephanie's growth.

　In the afternoon training, they had Stephanie as a PT leader, and she succeeded in building up her confidence by having her repeat success by herself. From Tsutomu's point of view, the hierarchy ahead was predictable, but Stephanie was different. So I wanted her to learn the art of conquering dungeons by trial and error on her own, rather than just silently following someone else's instructions.


(But that was a mistake. I could have been crushed by that one if I hadn't been good at it. I have to be careful.)


　But when it came to the afternoon's training, she thought a little game-like. It made for a painful and stressful training session and the failure to grasp Stephanie's stress-inducing personality that caused her to explode with stress. It was Tsutomu's mistake, and although he was later ashamed of it, he was relieved that it had turned out okay.


(Not a good idea to think of it as a game. I'm glad we didn't train in a canyon or something)


　Tsutomu had originally planned to have three PTs around the Third Army as healers in the afternoon training, and have them fight a series of battles in the canyon and defeat the fire dragons. However, if Tsutomu joined the PT and followed them, there was a possibility that he would also die when the PT was destroyed. The searchers are not afraid of death, but Tsutomu is afraid of death. So that training was a blank slate.

　For that reason, in a swamp, he could escape on his own with a fly if he was in a normal hierarchy, and the hierarchy master's hierarchy could be defeated with room to spare if Stephanie was still alive. So Tsutomu changed his training with his own cuteness. But as a result, he was able to modify his training for the better. If I had dived into the canyon with the same training, Stephanie would have been crushed for sure.


(Good luck getting past the Red Demons instead of me........ I'm counting on you.)


　Tsutomu still remembers the woman named Alma who bought the black cane at an auction and named him the lucky one. Now, the attack has not stopped due to the clan leader and the cheat-like performance of the black cane, but it is clear from the fact that the attack stopped once at the seventy-fifth level, as it stopped at the sixty-fifth level. So Tsutomu was hoping that Aldoret Crow would overtake the Red Devil Gang.

　The current lowest-tier dungeon attacking clan was the Red Demon Clan, and that clan did not employ the three types of roles or flying heels. Since that clan is now projected to be the best one, they recognize that it is best for the explorers below. Tsutomu wanted that perception to change by having Aldrete Crow take over as the best.

　It would make the PT healthier than it is now, and it would also improve the current situation where the PT rewards are blatantly reduced. Attacker's will lose out a bit because of the three roles, but it's not a problem because it doesn't make attackers unnecessary to the PT. And if you're concerned about the 4 attacker formation, that was fine.

　Besides, if Aldrete Crow continues to advance through the tiers at this rate, Tsutomu will be able to prep the tiers ahead. No matter how much 'Live Dungeon! Even though he has knowledge in the game, there are many things that are different from the game. Tsutomu wants to check them in advance, so he is very grateful that other major clans will be able to attack the dungeon.

　And most importantly, Tsutomu's self-esteem will be satisfied because the Red Demon Clan to which Alma, the lucky godfather of the lucky one, belongs will also fall from its current position. So, Tsutomu really wanted Aldoret Crow to do well.

　Alma is holding the black staff, which is reflected in the first stand in the guild. Tsutomu looks at her with narrow eyes as she drops her magic skill, Meteor, and flails about as she pleases.


(And while we're at it, why don't we let go of the black cane too~. Well, I guess not.)


　The black cane Tsutomu brought into this world is "Live Dungeon! It is a special equipment for white mages, and has many effects that white mages are grateful for, such as extending the effect time of support skills and strengthening recovery skills. However, in this world, anyone can equip it even if it is a white mage's exclusive equipment, so Alma, the black mage, can have the black staff. It's not effective, but the basic value of the black staff is high, so the power of the skill is increased, but from Tsutomu's point of view, it's a waste of treasure.


　After taking his gaze off the first table, Tsutomu leaves the guild and heads for the inn.


(The next step is to become a grantor. I'll have to modify my training based on Stephanie. Oh, but I didn't hear from her yet. (What's going on?)


　After Tsutomu accepted the instruction to the grantor, Luke sent a fast horse to the distant city where the grantor lived to contact him. But the messenger of that contact had not yet returned. Luke sent the messenger again about a week ago, but he has not yet been able to contact the grantor, so the grantor is currently gone.

　What would I do if he didn't come the next day, Tsutomu thought as he walked back to the inn.
