It has been twenty years since Diniel came on the journey. She had lived in her home forest for about eighty years until her body had grown up, so she would have lived exactly one hundred years. At the age of one hundred years, she would be recognized as a full-fledged elf, and would be able to join the ranks of adults, so to speak.

　The reason why Diniel left the elven village at the age of eighty is simple: his parents told him to stop sitting at home and look outside. When his parents all told him that, Diniel reluctantly began to prepare for his journey. But he was genuinely interested in the forest wise man who had improved the position of an elf all by himself, so when his parents gave him money and tools to start his journey, he first visited a shop called the Forest Apothecary and listened to the stories.

　Then I was going to learn potion skills at the forest apothecary, but I felt something was different and continued to travel at will for about fourteen years. After that, I heard that a mysterious thing called the God's Dungeon had been created in the labyrinth city, so I dove into the dungeon at random and advanced through the levels. There, a rare golden werewolf, who was said to be extinct, invited him to join the clan, so Diniel somehow got in.

　Such Diniel was an old explorer who had been conquering the God's Dungeon for six years now. And when he came face to face with the fire dragon monster at the 60th level, his hands naturally trembled as he was struck with a feeling similar to the first time he hunted. Even compared to the monsters that appeared in the dungeons outside, it was still one or two times more powerful.

　However, a monster that surpassed them attacked the labyrinth city. A rampaging dragon that swallowed the Stampede. It was the first to break through the barriers of the nobles, causing enormous damage. Diniel was also on the front line, and the despair of that time was etched in her mind.

　She had good eyesight, perhaps because she had been hunting for many years. It was also because she was on the front line the most, so she saw the rampaging dragon still cowering. Even after destroying the barrier, the tyrannical dragon is still able to move. That was something that even Diniel, who had lived for a hundred years, deserved to fear.

　Even if he tried to escape, he couldn't stand up at all because his legs were so weak, and his thoughts had completely stopped. As Diniel was realizing that he was going to die here, a man descended from the sky.


'Ah, it's Diniel. Are you all right?


　While everyone was too shocked to move properly, there was one person who was moving. That was Tsutomu. A mere mortal with a long life span of around sixty years. It is a person who, as far as I can see, has only lived about twenty years.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. And even after that, Diniel watched Tsutomu play an active role in defeating the tyrannical dragon.


(Funny.)


　Diniel genuinely felt that way about Tsutomu. She had heard her best friend Amy bragging about Tsutomu to the point that she got calluses in her ears, and she hadn't listened to all the stories. The impression I gave her when I came to instruct her to the golden study was quite normal. She thought he was a man who could come up with all sorts of interesting things, but he wasn't someone she should be particularly concerned about. However, the matter of the violent dragon changed that perception.

　Tsutomu was the person that Diniel thought was the strangest thing about him. The forest sage who had passed on the technique of creating potions to the elves was still understandable, as he was the longest-lived of the elves. But Tsutomu, who had only lived for twenty years or so and was at the center of the defeat of the rampaging dragon, was a shock to Diniel. So when Amy suggested that Tsutomu join the clan, he immediately quit his golden research and decided to join.

　Tsutomu was an interesting object of observation for Diniel, but at the same time, he was a lifesaver. And since it was someone that his best friend had feelings for, Diniel was friendly to him and treated him as plainly as he treated Amy, but he didn't respond to her in any way. But it's too much trouble to change back to an external tone of voice now, so it's still the same.


'Well then, let's go.


　When Tsutomu said that, Amira stood up vigorously and stared at Diniel as if she were her parent's enemy. Diniel met her gaze squarely and then turned her gaze away as if it didn't matter.

　Amira's face turned red when she received such a reaction back, but from Diniel's point of view, Amira is just someone who causes trouble. I'm only interested in the unique skill of dragonization, but the guild leader also has the same skill. So I'm not sincerely interested in it.

　While Tsutomu managed to appease Amira, he formed a four-man PT at the reception desk and stood in line for the magic circle. Since the spectators gather in front of the monitor during lunch time, naturally the explorers also dive into the dungeon to appeal to them. So the guild was crowded with people.

　The current topic of conversation among the spectators is still the Red Demon Army and Aldrete Crow. The Red Demon Corps is currently at the 69th level. Aldrete Crow is in the process of capturing the sixty-seventh level. The difference between them is two levels.

　However, Aldoret Crow has broken through the Borsayer monster that the Red Demon Army was struggling to defeat in a matter of days. There were no formidable monsters found on the sixty-eight and sixty-nine levels, so it could be said that the difference was almost negligible.

　Weiss is the leader of the Red Demon Clan and has a unique skill with the two names of Red Mage. Alma's popularity remains strong with her ridiculous firepower with her meteo-based magic skills. But lately, the popularity of Aldrete Crow has begun to tilt towards Aldrete Crow as well.

　Not to mention Luke, a rare summoner who was a rare summoner and played well in the Stampede battle, Bittman, who is compared to either Garum and the strongest tank, and Sova, a multi-weapon attacker like Weiss. Stephanie, the healer with the yellow dress.

　Until now, Aldrete Crow has been a clan that has had difficulty gaining popularity against these individuals, but since the introduction of the three different roles, it's slowly becoming more popular. This is partly due to the labyrinth maniacs propagating the three roles around, but the main reason is because the results are easy to understand in the eyes of the audience.

　As for attackers, the more monsters you kill, the easier it is for the audience to understand that you are great. Therefore, those with unique skills, which are flashy in the eyes of the crowd, tend to be the most popular. And the role of a healer who hides out of combat until it's time to revive, and dies as soon as he revives an ally, was hard to understand in the eyes of the crowd.

　But these days, Aldrete Crow is often played by tanks and healers. A tank that doesn't fall no matter how many powerful attacks from monsters. A healer who can turn a hopeless PT situation upside down after two or three people die. Because Aldrete Crow has produced such results that are easy to understand in the eyes of the crowd, the popularity for these individuals has grown.

　That's partly because it makes them more popular with the crowd and benefits from sponsors, but such easy-to-understand results can also be a motivator for newcomers. It gives hope to those who had previously given up on the idea that they could only play attacker positions. It will also contribute to attracting new searchers. In fact, the number of new explorers other than attackers has been increasing recently.

　Besides that, the dark horse, Silverbeast, who broke through the 60th level after a fierce battle with a fire dragon, has also introduced three different roles. The wave of the three roles is already heading towards the searchers. It is up to the explorer to ride the wave or be consumed by it.

　For this reason, in the midst of a thriving guild, Diniel put his right hand into the tubular magic bag on his shoulder to see if he could get the arrow he wanted. Diniel had been the longest explorer in the Infinite Circle, so naturally he had fought rotten swordsmen. He had more of those battles than Hannah.

　When the magic circle is empty, three people, led by Tsutomu, enter the magic circle. This time Hanna is waiting alone in her absence. Hanna was told by Tsutomu that she could go back to the clan house first, but she refused and stayed in the guild.


(I want to replace her.)


　If it were me, I would be happy to leave, Diniel thought wistfully as he prepared for battle when Tsutomu called out to him. After nodding his bow with a red arrow, Tsutomu designated a hierarchy and said the word transition. Then the vision darkened and switched.

　Diniel immediately fired the first shot at the rotten swordsman. The crimson tinted arrow hit the helmet the rotten swordsman was wearing. The rotten swordsman, who was on his back, was hit by red arrows one after another as Diniel ran closer to the rotten swordsman.

　The newly discovered magic stone from the volcanic mountain hierarchy, the fire magic stone. It is more powerful than the fire magic stone, and the attribute arrows that Diniel is firing are filled with it.

　The red light like a laser pierces the rotten swordsman one after another. That helmet is already dyed red and dented. The three gaps in front of the helmet had already begun to dissolve and holes had been made in it!

　As Diniel approached, he held a hard arrow in his hand and fired into the gap in the rotten swordsman's helmet. Then the second shot. The two arrows hit the rotten swordsman's sunken eyes and pierced his head.

　Diniel stepped on the rotten swordsman's neck as he fell backwards and held it with his foot, then raised his bow and aimed at the weak point, the brain of the head. Red arrows shot out from almost no distance, and the rotten swordsman, whose head had been burned by the high heat, was unable to move. Tsutomu's measurement ended as a particle of light leaked out.


'Fifty-two seconds.'


　Daryl is dumbfounded by the speed of its defeat, which hasn't even taken a minute, and Amira is trying to endure it with a blank expression on her face. Although she's using a compatible attribute arrow, she hasn't even used her skills. So this is the result. The time to defeat her too quickly. It would no longer be possible for Amira to exceed this time even if she was able to use Dragonization.

　The two rotten swordsmen that came out next. Amira and Diniel would take them one by one. Diniel then fired various attribute arrows to check the feel, while Amira fought with all her might against the rotten swordsman. And I still gritted my teeth at the time of defeat that would take about four or five minutes.
