As soon as Ugaol's stampede died down, Leon quickly left the city and headed for the labyrinth city. Then he returned in a ragged state and gave the information, and fell asleep on the spot as if he were fainting. He had worked tirelessly, too, so it seemed inevitable that he had fallen asleep as he pushed the beautiful security staff down.

　Then, Leon's information revealed that Ugaol had fallen and the Stampede hadn't lost that much momentum and was heading towards the labyrinth city. The residents finally began to feel threatened by this information, and more and more people began to evacuate to the south or leave the labyrinth city.


(I'd like to go inside that one too!)


　Tsutomu still can't help but think about such things, but his feet were heading to the guild in the opposite direction. The searchers have been ordered to convene by the guild and the security team, so Tsutomu is on his way. By the way, there is no penalty for refusing this summons order, but when this stampede is over, the names of those who escaped will be made public. Honestly, that is a substantial penalty for being an explorer, so most of the explorers were divided up and gathered by the hour.

　I saw many familiar faces in the buzzing guild. Silver Beast and Aldrete Crow, the clans I've been involved with so far. And the members of the Red Demon Clan are also all here.

　The Red Demon Clan's Alma immediately turned her gaze away as soon as she caught Tsutomu with her eyes. She had been avoiding Tsutomu since she received the black staff, so she didn't look at him directly. Tsutomu also removed his gaze from her sleek back and was tapped on the shoulder from behind.


'Tsutomu,'
Oh, Garm.
Everyone is already here. This way.


　Garum takes one look at Alma's back and then beckons to Tsutomu and walks off. Tsutomu followed and found Amy, Camille and the other main members of the guild there. All of those members have reached the seventy level.


''So you're there too? You certainly looked strong though.
Oh, hey. Nice to meet you.


　The strong-faced receptionist skinhead male was also among the members of that guild as he was level 70 and had a lot of combat experience.

　As soon as Tsutomu finished greeting the other members, someone climbed up to the reception table and cleared his throat. The big orc-like man was the director of the guild.

　Since the Maze Conqueror Squad, which usually runs the Stampede battle, was not present this time, Bruno, the director of the guard corps, would be in charge instead. The searchers, who had been buzzing around, became quieter and quieter when Bruno stood up. Then, after a moment of silence, Bruno said.


''Nice to meet you all~!
..........


　Tsutomu was don't like the big guy with the gay tone who gave the speech in such a manner, but he was worried that he would really be okay with him. But from what he'd heard from Garum and Amy next to him, he seemed to be fine.

　The current Stampede is approaching the labyrinth city ahead of the flying dragons, so the countermeasures for those were spoken by Bruno. First, intercept them with magic tools. After taking away their flying ability, the top searchers will team up to deal with the dragons. The mid-tier searchers will dive into the god's dungeon to procure magic stones to deal with the stampede that will come later, while the lower-tier searchers will focus on miscellaneous tasks such as transporting magic stones and carrying the injured.


''I'm a mid-level searcher--''
I don't care about that.
Oh, yes.


　The other day, Amy gave a cold look to Tsutomu, who pointed at her as if she was sulking over the other day's incident. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.


Tutom. I don't care if you run away,
It's staying. It's staying. I'm sorry. I think I've made up my mind, but...


　Tsutomu returns to Garum's charming words with a bitter smile. He thinks he's already prepared for this, but the fear doesn't go away. This is the reason why when Tsutomu unconsciously said something about escaping, Garum advised him to run away and Amy nudged him.

　The three main clans for dragon defeat are the Red Demon Clan, Aldrete Crow, and the three major clans of the Golden Investigation, as well as the private armies of the guard, guild, and nobles. A total of six groups were to deal with it. Among them, Tsutomu was in the framework of the guild.

　Although the earth dragons had been defeated by the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad, there were still six fire dragons. Three ice dragons. Two black dragons. One thunder dragon. In total, there were twelve dragons in existence. That is to say, the calculation is that one group must take care of two of them. Even though there is no five-man PT, it is expected to be a very tough battle.


(I hate raid fights.... Someone please give me the individual status of the PT)


　Raid battles where dozens of people take down bosses are called "Live Dungeon! and Tsutomu has experience with it. But if it's a game, there is no such thing as a function to know everyone's HP and MP. So, it was not possible for him to manage them as he had done in the game, and this made Tsutomu feel gloomy.

　Unlike God's dungeon, you can't use raises outside the dungeon. In other words, there was no way to redo it. Even a single mistake was not allowed. While Tsutomu was pushing himself so hard to concentrate, Bruno finished speaking and got off the reception desk.

　I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are very interested in this kind of information.


'You're Tsutomu, aren't you?　I'd like to ask you something.
Huh?　Oh, yes. What is it?
Am I right in sending Ugaol the information?　From what I've heard from the supply corps, you're pretty close.
"...yeah. Maybe so. I had it in the package I gave to the supply crew.
Well, then, would you mind coming along for a bit?　You want to share the information with us. .... you can rest assured I won't make you feel bad.


　Bruno chuckles at Amy, who is standing behind him with her white tail upside down in a blur. Tsutomu nodded his head at Bruno's condition but agreed.


''I understand.''
Okay, let's go.


　Tsutomu left the guild with Bruno, with a thoughtful look on his face, and headed to the guard group headquarters.


　--Oooh--


　Tsutomu came out of the security force headquarters a few hours after making small talk and providing information, and he looked like he was thinking about something.


(He was released quite easily, wasn't he?)


　As for the reason for being called in by the security team, Tsutomu thought they would go into why they knew about the dragon and where it came from in the first place. But that was only lightly touched upon as part of the small talk, and the details were not inquired into.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the information I gave you saved your life, and for some reason I was praised by Leon, who was at the headquarters of the security force, and the people in the security force praised me as well. I'm not sure if the information I provided was overlooked because it paid off, but I provided all the information related to the Stampede to the guards, even though Tsutomu speculated that it was because the information I provided was successful. It's not particularly a secret information, and since human lives are at stake, it's not a problem for Tsutomu.

　In addition, Bruno, the director of the security force, asked him a lot of questions. When he spoke to Bruno, the gay-looking man, he was surprisingly sensible, which didn't surprise Tsutomu, but he was a bit wary of him, but he kept talking to him. During the conversation, Tsutomu felt a little embarrassed when he heard the story of Amy's visit to the Solitte company.

　As night fell, Tsutomu was released by the security team and went to the monitor market. And his eyes widened a little when he saw the unusual condition of the monitors.

　There was a mid-tier clan on the first stand, and the one below it was also full of mid-tier clans. Besides, the monitor market was less vibrant than before. The stalls were diminished and the crowd was down by almost half.

　Tsutomu paraded around the monitor market, which was more empty than usual, looking at it curiously. Then he heard several roars coming from outside, so Tsutomu started walking in that direction.

　There was a gathering near the outside gate, along the barriers that the nobles were putting up to practice, and outside, a huge rock crashed into a clearing. Tsutomu floated up on his fly to get out of the crowd and look at the scene outside.


'Meteor Stream.'


　A beautiful woman with long black hair brandished a black cane and chanted. Then a rain of meteorites rained down from the sky and fell on the area.


'Explosions.'


　Then the meteorite that had fallen to the ground exploded. The undulating clearing became even more tattered and transformed into a difficult terrain to pass through. Currently, Alma was just showing off the power of her magic skills in a major clan exercise.

　The crowd cheered from within the barrier at the sound of the impact that blew up the dust and came to the bottom of his stomach. Reigning at the top level of black mages, Alma had gained even more fame after learning a new skill, Meteor Stream.

　She likes to use Meteor and Meteor Streams in God's dungeon as well, and she wants the fame. The Red Demon Clan had been a clan with the clan leader as its mainstay, but now the image of the two pillars of the clan leader and Alma was beginning to take hold.

　Behind them, Aldoret Crow with Luke at the center was discussing and deciding on a formation on a scale of dozens of people. This time, Aldoret Crow is boasting that he will receive four fire dragons, but the source of his confidence lies in the magic stones provided by the guild.


''Summon (Samon)--Golem.


　Golems are being summoned one after another. There are more than a hundred of them. These golems were supporting each other like gymnastics, yet they were building a wall. If you look closely, you can see that all of the forts around are made of golems.

　A summoner has a limit to the summoned beasts he can summon on the spot. If that limit is exceeded, the summoned beast will become a particle of light and disappear. But that's inside the God's Dungeon. Outside, the summoned beast will be reduced to a will-less doll, effectively becoming a corpse.

　Taking advantage of this characteristic, Luke summoned the golem and turned it into a will-less doll, creating more and more simple barriers. That would be of great use when fighting outside of a magical barrier.

　Besides, Luke had been collecting magic stones since before the Stampede, and even the guild had given him many magic stones. And some of them included magic stones dropped from fire dragons.

　Summoners cost a lot of money to summon those summons. Therefore, if they were thinking about profit when fighting in a dungeon, they could often only summon a small amount. This is because even if you are able to capture a dungeon, if you end up losing money, you will not be able to run the game.

　However, as long as you can summon as many monsters as you like without worrying about the cost, you can do a great deal of good. Luke with Aldoret Crow's operating funds and the guild's financial cooperation. And Aldoret Crow, which had the top levels of many jobs, was fully capable of taking on four fire dragons that had lost their flying ability.

　On the other hand, the golden investigation hadn't been able to defeat the fire dragons in the God's Dungeon, and Leon's work as a scout had exempted him from defeating the dragons. They would be a force to be reckoned with if they were willing to make sacrifices, but they are outclassed by Red Demon Dan in terms of firepower and Aldoret Crow in terms of stability. The golden probe is supposed to be Leon's scout, and the other clans' support.


''Ah!　Tsutomu!


　As Tsutomu watched each clan from inside the barrier, a white haired girl came running from outside the barrier with such a cheerful voice. Amy was there, flying and raising her hands in the air.


'Just in time!　The Guild is starting a meeting right now!　Come here!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be right there.


　Amy tapped the barrier hard, and a hole opened easily enough to let one person in. Tsutomu dove through the hole and followed Amy.
