98-Camille's daughter




 Hannah's temporary membership in the clan was decided, and the only remaining members were attackers. And for the three days that the guild's clan recruitment board was open, Tsutomu spent about three days doing nothing in particular. After waking up early in the morning at the clan house that had become his home, he first went to the forest apothecary to line up, and after that he went outside to eat breakfast and observe the monitors. In the afternoon, I walked around the stalls and shops that had already been routed and exchanged words with the owner and shopkeepers while looking at their developments.

 The first thing that has changed in this routine routine work is that an apprentice has joined the forest apothecary. The forest apothecary, where there was previously only an old woman, was joined by a female apprentice, a grown-up elf, who busied herself with cleaning and working at the store counter.

 It seems that the woman was chosen as the representative of the winner of a selection competition of tens of thousands of people held in the King's Capital, and for the time being, she is said to be doing miscellaneous tasks while watching and learning the old lady's work.


''As long as you can learn it in another hundred years, it's easy.
I'm afraid that's not possible at the moment.


 The disciple looked up into the void with gloomy eyes as the old lady said lightly. The old lady was the founder of the potion creation technique and was known as a living legend among the elves. She had been certified as the inheritor of such an old lady's technique, and her heart was broken when she saw the technique in front of her.

 The potion made by his apprentice was also on sale, so Tsutomu bought it to try it out, but the old lady's potion certainly had clearly superior efficacy. Besides, the taste was also more guttural than the one made by his apprentice.

 However, as far as taste was concerned, it was still bearable. The ones from other potion shops were either tasteless and good in efficacy or tasty but bad in efficacy. And the recovery power is not much different from other top quality potions, he said. As long as you don't compare it with Grandma's potion, it's a good enough potion. In fact, that apprentice's potion wasn't sold out immediately, but it seemed to be sold out in the afternoon.


''With these sales based on my recipe, it's as if they haven't even broken the eggshell yet.
Ha ha.....


 Tsutomu smiled bitterly back at the old lady's stern words that didn't seem to have the usual gentle atmosphere, and left the forest apothecary. There was still a long way to go before the apprentice could master the old lady's skills.

 Finally, there was an opening on the guild's bulletin board, so it was time to put up the clan member recruitment form. Since Tsutomu's fame has risen dramatically due to the Stampede, there will be many people who will be applying for the position soon. So Tsutomu went to the guild in the evening when many people were coming to the guild with the paper that he had asked the newspaper company to prepare by himself.

 And when he took the clan member recruitment notice to the receptionist and asked her to put it up, the receptionist awkwardly turned her gaze to his back. When Tsutomu noticed the receptionist's gaze and turned his back, she suddenly grabbed him firmly by the shoulders.


''I finally found you. Tsutomu, I need to talk to you for a moment.
Huh? Oh, hey!


 Camille, who may have been running around all over the place, grabbed Tsutomu's arm with her sweaty hand and took him out towards the guild cafeteria. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.


''You're not in the Clan House just today, so I had a hard time finding you.
Yeah. So, what can I do for you?
Well, sit down, for now.


 When Camille finally caught her breath, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, exhaled, and then urged Tsutomu to take a seat. As Tsutomu reluctantly took his seat, Camille looked up at him as if to see how he was doing.


'Tsutomu founded the Clan, didn't he? An infinite circle, as I recall.
Yeah.
So, I hear you're looking for an attacker?
'Yes. Yes.
"Well I'm going to ask you to do me a favor there, will you let my daughter in?
Yes?


 At Camille's fearful look of suggestion, Tsutomu raised his voice while tilting his head.


''Are you Camille's daughter?''
Yes. Didn't we meet once before?
Yes, it's Amira, isn't it?
Yes.


 Camille replied, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief. But Tsutomu had one question.


'Didn't Amira-san already enter the Clan? I remember being told, as I recall, that I made it myself.
'Yeah. Yeah, well we actually broke up.
Are we dismissed?


 Camille spoke as she lowered her gaze, and Tsutomu crossed his arms. Tsutomu had seen Amira's PT on the monitor a few times. And since he knew that the atmosphere of the PT was the worst, he could roughly imagine the reason for the dissolution of the clan.

 Camille also looked up at Tsutomu awkwardly with red eyes, as if Camille knew that as well.


'The reason for the disbanding was apparently the lack of numbers due to all the clan members leaving the clan. ........To be honest, there was a problem with Amira. She's strong, but she's not very cooperative. And she's rough and her mouth is the worst. However, that girl also seems to be reflecting on the dissolution of the clan. I think her lack of cooperation has improved as well. He's also become somewhat more rounded.
..........
Couldn't I do that for you, please?
'Yes. Okay.
Really?


 Tsutomu responded to Camille's request for a deep bow, in a light tone. Tsutomu pulled his face away from Camille, who leaned forward after hearing his response, but held up his index finger.


''However, my clan has a one-week trial period. If Amira-san causes any problems during that period, I will expel her immediately.''
'That's a given. If my daughter gets into trouble again, I'm willing to expel her immediately.
Oh, I see. Then I'll bring the contract to you next time. When are you free?


 When Tsutomu said this, Camille turned to him thoughtfully, leaning her elbows on the desk.


'I'll be busy for a while, but Amira will be at the guild's training grounds every day. I'll let the conversation go through here, and you can come to the training grounds on the days when Tsutomu is free.
Then I think I'll head for tomorrow.
Really, that's very helpful. But you're quite easy to get into, aren't you?
You helped me once.


 Tsutomu also owes Camille a debt of gratitude for accompanying him to the outside dungeon. I'm sure that if I hadn't gone to the dungeon, I would have been in a worse position, but Tsutomu didn't have any PT members to form a team with. It was a great help to be able to be included in the framework of the guild at that time.

 Then Camille looked at Tsutomu with a dumbfounded half-eyed look and put her hands on her chin with both elbows on the desk. Then she turned a lazy smile on her face.


'I knew you'd have difficulty with it, so I've gone to great lengths to prepare a lot of things for you. I guess it's all for naught.'
The way it looks, it's nothing to write home about. But I've seen the video of Amira-san's battle, but at that rate, she'll be expelled immediately. Are you okay with that?


 Although Tsutomu said that to Camille, who had a bewitching《Yoen》expression on her face, she spoke as if she was worried about Amira.

 It's a good thing that you're able to have a good idea of what to expect. Amira was spitting and ranting, while the others seemed to be silently fighting the monsters. It was like a PT made up of one master and four slaves.

 It was true that Amira had a unique skill, dragonization, and a good fighting sense, but her standing and ranting was just awful, as if she had no intention of matching up with her allies. In addition, when she turned into a dragon, she would smash all of her allies and monsters with her large sword. To be honest, if she wasn't Camille's daughter, she was someone that she would not want to be associated with.

 But Camille wasn't particularly worried about that, she crossed her arms and nodded quietly.


'Oh. It won't be a problem. That girl seems to have learned quite a bit from the dissolution of the clan. And if he makes the same mistake again, there's no chance. If he behaves in a problematic manner, I want him expelled from the clan immediately.
Okay.


 Tsutomu tucked the clan member recruitment form into his magic bag. Tsutomu thinks that until Garum and Amy come in, the five of us will work together to solidify the ground of the PT, so we already have all the members. But as for Hannah and Amira, there is a possibility that they may leave, so we will continue to check on the newcomers.


''Well then, I'll head to the training ground tomorrow.
Oh. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Take care of my daughter.
'And if we can work well together, I think I'll be a good attacker. Thanks for the introduction as well.


 With that, Tsutomu said goodbye to Camille and went back to the Clan House.


 --Oooh--


 The next day Tsutomu went to the guild's training grounds around noon and found a red-haired girl leaning against the wall with a muffled look on her face at the entrance. She is Camille's daughter, Amira.

 She was tall and slender for a woman, tall and slender, with a height that made Camille look young as she was. The long red hair and red leather armor hanging down her back is also almost the same as if it was a hand-me-down, and she was carrying a steel great sword on her back.


''........Don't stare at me.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're Amira, right?
You're a tom. You're a tom.


 Amira stopped leaning on it while wearing a somber air, and recoiled and moved forward. And as soon as he saw Tsutomu's face, he turned his eyes away in frustration.


''Laugh. You declared a rival to Tsutomu, and I'm in this mess.
Huh. Well, I think we should talk over there for now.


 Tsutomu pointed to a seat in the familiar guild cafeteria, and Amira nodded quietly and followed him. Tsutomu felt uncomfortable with Amira's first person, but he sat down towards his seat without saying anything in particular. Amira also placed a large sword that was too heavy for Tsutomu to carry on the floor and sat down in front of him.


''We're bringing Amira-san into the clan this time, and she'll be on a trial period for a week. That said, we won't expel her unless we see too much problematic behavior.
You don't have to do it. Just call me Mister.
''........is that so? In that case, I don't mind calling you by your name either. I'm planning to do that when I form a PT anyway.
Oh, yeah?


 Amira took a somewhat frightening motion and called the employee and ordered a drink. Tsutomu also ordered an orange juice to go along with it, but proceeded to talk.


''First, may I see your status card?''
Yes.


 Amira handed the status card she had prepared in advance to Tsutomu. Tsutomu received the blue status card and looked it over from the top.

 Her level is 46. The status is STR (attack power) is the highest and the skill column also has dragonization. After grasping the status and skills that didn't change as expected, Tsutomu returned the status card.


''Yeah. It's a good status. Then the contract will be here.''
You don't mind, do you? I didn't even have to put my name on it.
'I don't mind. She's Camille's daughter.
Tsk.


 I'm not sure if she didn't like Tsutomu's answer or not, but she let out a cluck of her tongue and quickly looked over the contract and signed it. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


''We won't be able to dive into the divine dungeon for another week and a bit, so our activities will take place after that. We will be meeting in three days, so we will ask you to gather at the clan house. Do you have any free time in your schedule?
I'm free. There's nothing to do but train.
Oh, I see. Okay, so you'll meet me at the Clan House in three days. So I'll hand in the contract to the receptionist and then I'll show you to the Clan House.


 When Tsutomu said that and got up from his seat, Amira also got up. His movements were also somewhat slow and listless. Tsutomu thought that what Camille had said was true, but after finishing the reception, he showed her around the clan house. Once that was done, Amira went back to the guild's training grounds again.
