The next day, a joint exercise was held for each group together. However, Aldrete Crow has built up a fort or base of operations outside with golems, while the Black Mages, led by Alma of the Red Demon Corps, have blocked all but the city streets with meteor to sabotage the Stampede's forces so that they cannot easily pass through.

　The purpose of the exercise was to check the flow of the battle, but the main exercises were Leon flying around with Barbara in his princess hug, and matching the timing of the black mage's magic skills with the release of the barriers. Tsutomu, the white mage, didn't have much to practice, and he was honestly bored after being briefed on the flow of the battle. Although Camille told him that the guild was going to be in charge of the two black dragons, he had already finished passing all the information and other information to the security team and spread it to everyone.

　According to Leon's high-speed reconnaissance, the dragons will arrive in the labyrinth city tomorrow, and although Tsutomu was not caught off guard, he thought that this force would be able to repel them. A full range of anti-monster magic tools and nobleman's barrier magic. With so many explorers, it's not a problem in terms of strength.

　However, what Tsutomu was concerned about was afterwards. In the in-game event, the Dragon Banquet, these fire and ice dragons were a transit point, a prelude, so to speak. Tsutomu was thinking about escaping, thinking that there might be some boss-class dragons.

　However, unlike the dungeon of God, the dungeon outside is considered a natural object that has existed in this world for hundreds of years. He felt that applying game knowledge to the outer dungeon, if it was a divine dungeon, was a bit misplaced. However, the type of dragons identified matched the dragon banquet, so Tsutomu couldn't shake a bad feeling.

　When Tsutomu finished reconfirming the information about the black dragon to be sure and giving the cautions and other information, various sounds began to echo from within the barrier magic. A practice performance by the nobleman's music band began.

　The music band is made up of bards, which not only boosts your morale with its profound sounds, but also raises your actual status. The music, which alternates between about a hundred bards following a conductor, continues uninterrupted, and those who hear the music and their voices will increase in status. Mixed with their recovery skills, the burden on the healers will be greatly reduced.

　Group support from the safe zone is a strength that only a bard can provide, which is not possible in a god's dungeon. Moreover, Tsutomu was impressed with the musician's team, as he felt that they seemed to be able to create a single song while efficiently rotating their skills.


(Depending on the song, you're focusing on the recovery system, right? Good support.)


　All of the stats except LUK (luck) had been increased, and furthermore, skills with effects such as recovery, mental power recovery, etc. were also turned in at a certain time. Tsutomu was testing the way he moved his body and mental power consumption in that state, and measuring the timing of the recovery skills flying in and out.

　The sounds of the music corps and the roar of falling meteors could be heard. In the midst of all of this, Tsutomu was wrapped up in a sphere of heels, high heels, and aura heels and turned them appropriately, when a woman flew over Tsutomu with a fly.

　A small woman with a large yellow tail that wagged as she descended. The person was Eunice, a member of the golden investigation's first army. She wore the same kind of pure white robe as Tsutomu and held a white cane in her hand.


''........You look quite bored.
That's true. The support is already there, and I don't have much to do now that the meeting is over.
Is that so?


　Eunice had her slightly pointy-eyed fox ears up on top of her head and looked annoyed by the repeated roar. Tsutomu removed his gaze from her and watched the scene of the meteor clanking down in the distance. After remaining like that for a while, Eunice began to speak even as she moved in front of Tsutomu.


''........This time the golden investigation is going to cover the whole thing. I heard that the guild will be dealing with two black dragons.''
Yes.
That's why I'm here to help you.
Okay.
..........


　It's not as if Tsutomu didn't want to continue the conversation, but Eunice sniffed his nose and began to spin around in circles, chanting the heel, just like Tsutomu did. The speed and maintenance of the sphere is perfect, as if he had been practicing on his own after being instructed by Tsutomu.

　After that, Tsutomu waited for a while until Eunice went somewhere, but she resolutely remained there, spinning her heels. The surrounding guild members begin to look oddly at the two people who are spinning their heels.


''What can I do for you?''


　When Tsutomu said that, Eunice looked back with a pouty face, but her tail seemed to be in a much better mood. Tsutomu sighed, wondering if he was being a picky eater.


'Apparently, Tsutomu has been teaching the other clan healers a lot of things as well.
Yes.
Isn't there something you can tell me?
'What?　No, nothing, though.
You're lying. ...There's definitely something I'm not telling you, sir.


　Eunice is aware that even the mid-tier clan, Silver Beast, has outperformed them and the crowd is becoming cold. Even in the Stampede game, people are saying that Silverbeast is better than Golden Probe.

　The Golden Probe has a higher level than Aldoret Crow in terms of attackers, and most importantly, Leon, who has a unique skill. And if it's a normal Stampede, it's still unusual in this case. So it was judged that the golden investigation, which is familiar with the place, was better and was chosen this time. However, Eunice felt frustrated by the people's evaluation and practiced further.

　But that practice and effort has not currently sprouted. Eunice was in a state of impatience, feeling out of control. Younis came here to get some advice, but contrary to her feelings, she pointed at Tsutomu.


''But it doesn't matter. You will get over it. The Silver Beast, Aldoret Crow, and Tsutomu. I will go over them all and become the pinnacle.
Good luck!
Guh. We'll see about that!


　After saying that, Eunice flew away on the fly. Tsutomu didn't understand what in the world she was doing here, but he watched Eunice silently.

　Currently, the gold-colored investigation hasn't produced much results, but Tsutomu feels that it can't be helped. The Silver Beast had made the groundwork for the three roles by Tsutomu beforehand, and Aldoret Crow had also made the groundwork on its own. It was no surprise that the Golden Beast's growth was delayed because it didn't have that groundwork at all.

　His reputation with regard to Eunice is not another bad one. Despite his demeanor, he's a hard worker and has a good sense for the skills he puts in place. If the groundwork for the three roles is in place, Eunice will be able to produce not bad results.

　After that, Tsutomu was still assessing the support pattern of the musicians, and now Stephanie showed up as well. The summoners led by Luke were working on building the golem, but she too seemed to be free after the meeting.

　After greeting her, Stephanie was happy to talk about the topic of the volcanic hierarchy when I waved the topic of the volcanic hierarchy to her. She was confident that she would be able to catch up with the Red Demons by now after the Stampede was over.

　When the small talk that served as information gathering was settled, Stephanie listened to the sounds that she could still hear.


''Your musicians are still as good as ever, aren't they?


　Stephanie stared at the musicians playing with an enthralled face. Tsutomu remembered that she used a cane like a conductor's stick and asked her to try it out.


'Do you actually want to join the music corps or something?'
'Oh my God, have you been found out?　I know. I did when I was a kid.


　Stephanie's eyes narrowed nostalgically, but her gaze fell quickly.


'But after God's Dungeon was built, you had to be a bard to get in. And my performance was mediocre as well. Thanks to that, I've given up completely.
'Oh, I see.'
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to be such a bore.
'No, no. Hmm, but that's kind of sad. I wish I could change jobs.
Well at the time I wished I could do something like that.


　If it is a game, you can easily change jobs, but in this world, there is no system to change jobs. Therefore, you can only select the job that is decided at the beginning.


But I'll continue to be a white mage even if I can change jobs.


　Tsutomu returns the words while tilting his head slightly at Stephanie's eyes, which seem to be motivated by some sense of mission.


''I see. I'm glad to hear that, though. And Stephanie-san seems to be growing in the future.
"...Speaking of which, Tsutomu-sama. I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Yes?　What is it?
The Silver Beast healer named Lorena said that Master Tutom guided her, is it true?
'Oh, yes. It's true.
I knew it. I saw the video the other day and it was very good.


　Stephanie's eyes glittered as she said this, as if they were blazing with dazzle. She seemed to completely see Lorena as a good opponent.


'Indeed, Lorena-san was getting pretty good at it.
It's just that your support skills are lousy. It was a little frustrating to watch. ........But you feel that Lorena-san is better than me, don't you? Perhaps in other areas she is outmatched.
'Lorena, the first thing you're good at is hate management. That and the ability to coordinate PTs, I guess?
Hate management, huh?


　Although Lorena was a rabbit person and their relationship was unclear, Tsutomu felt that she was very good at detecting monster hate. Even if you watch the video at the number one position, you can see that she is controlling the hate of the PT.

　And what made this hate control possible was the ability of the PT members to work together. Since they have been working together on the PT for many years, they have a tremendous ability to work together. Thanks to the fact that they are able to communicate with each other, Lorena's instructions are passed through the PT accurately and quickly.

　If it were just Lorena on her own, she would have the same ability as Stephanie, but if you look at it from a PT perspective, Lorena is better. That was the difference that Stephanie felt.


''I (I) can't lose, either!
..........


　Tsutomu stares at Stephanie, who is clenching her fists tightly in rivalry. Tsutomu is also a 'live dungeon!' There was a competent player who was not quite a rival in the game, but there was a competent player who would be aware of each other. There was a famous medicine man who had reassembled a devastated PT, and Tsutomu had been quoted by a clan member several times as the one who had done so.

　However, that prayer warrior had long since retired, and Tsutomu was the only one left. After that, the number of people had been dwindling due to depopulation, so no such person ever appeared. So Tsutomu felt a little bit jealous of Stephanie.


''Tutu, Tsutomu-sama?　Is there any debris on my face?
'Oh, I'm sorry. It's nothing.


　Tsutomu took his gaze off Stephanie, who looked a little embarrassed. Then Tsutomu was called in by a guild member behind him who was going to lunch.


''I'll go to lunch then,''
Okay. I'll be back soon.
Stephanie. Stampede, I hope you survive. Don't give me life, please.
Yes. Of course it is.


　Stephanie nodded her head at Tsutomu's serious words. Then she too went back to Aldoret Crow, and Tsutomu headed towards the guild members.

　This could be the last lunch, Tsutomu thought in an unlucky way as he returned to the labyrinth city to eat lunch. The next day, the dragons would attack. He was anxious about this, but he tasted his lunch and ate it.
