After that, they all coordinated together a few times, and Daryl explained the main flow of the Mounted Golem battle to everyone. He was chewing on it often and was being teased by Amira and Hannah, but Daryl was visibly relieved when he managed to finish his explanation.

　Then Daryl gathered the courage to speak to Amira, who was bored and absent after the strategy meeting was over.


'Ah, Amira-san. I'd like to talk to you for a moment........
'Oh?　It is.
''Well. About the infantry battle, I think it would be nice if you could prioritize taking out the jumpers, if possible.
Hmm. Yeah. Okay.
What?　Oh, yes.
What the f*ck are you doing? You look...
'I'm sorry!　Um, there's something else I want to talk to you about!


　Daryl looked as if his world had been turned upside down by Amira's honest reply and she narrowed her eyes sullenly. Daryl apologized in a big hurry and continued to talk with Amira about the Mount Golem battle.

　Behind her, Hannah, her brow wrinkled, stared at the paper. The paper had the types of arrows Diniel would use, with instructions assigned to each color. Diniel was sitting in front of her, troubled with the paper, like an examiner.


''That's it, isn't it? We're retreating.'
Correct. But I took a hunch.
..........


　At Diniel's sharp remarks and heart-searching gaze, Hanna couldn't bear to look away. It was a complete figurehead. Diniel sighed loudly and held the pen in his hand.


''It's not like your chest is the only thing that's being nourished.
That has nothing to do with it, does it?


　Hannah, who had been poked in the chest with the bottom of the pen, held her front with a bang and rammed into Diniel, but she only returned a very inorganic look. Because if he couldn't remember so much, Diniel could only assume that he was already defective in his head.


'You can read, so you must be educated. Why are you so stupid?''
Ugh. Well, well, I'm from a village.
Then why do you know how to read and write?
The village chief forced me to learn how to read, write and do simple math.
That village chief is great. It's amazing how well he can teach Hannah to read and write. She forgets it after three steps. The treasure of the bird people.
..........


　Hanna became slightly teary-eyed at Diniel's relentless words. However, she was not at all fazed by seeing such a face on Hannah's. Despite the fact that she had to go along with him prolifically, the percentage of correct answers is still about half. This is a complete waste of time.

　Diniel may like to slack off, but he hates to waste time. There was no way he would have any mercy or forgiveness for Hannah if he had that time to be more lazy.


''Huh....
'Shh, Master~!　I'm afraid of Diniel!
Haha.....


　Tsutomu couldn't help but laugh at Hannah, who couldn't help but run and hide behind him. Tsutomu also knows to some extent that Hanna is not very good at remembering things. When I told her about the skill rotation, she tilted her head back and froze, saying she understood, but in the end she often didn't. When I gave him a sheet of paper with the order of skills, he would definitely look over it, but when it came to battle, he forgot about it.

　However, Hannah doesn't forget that much about the experience and knowledge she has gained on her own. She's better at remembering things by moving her body directly and using her senses, rather than using her head and learning by logic. That's why she doesn't forget the skill spinning of the avoidance tank if you take into account her own experiences and so on, and she is quick to remember what she feels is fun to do.


'Well......... Maybe it's faster for Hannah to learn it in a real battle rather than having her write it down on paper or something to remember it.
I've had enough of this shit.
'I see. Well, people are not suited for each other. If you can't do it, there's nothing you can do about it.
Mr. Tsutomu. I have my own preferences...
Don't spoil it.
That's really harsh on me!


　He shouted as he bit into Tsutomu, who said that without even looking at Daryl. Diniel grabbed Daryl's drooping dog ears with both hands and uttered in a relieved and calm voice.


'I'll make sure Hannah learns. Otherwise all my time so far will be wasted.
Let go of me, sir!
I'm changing my tune tomorrow.


　Taking his hand away from a shy Daryl, Diniel said nonchalantly with his eyes, still unmotivated, and went back to his room.

　After seeing Diniel off, Hanna gave a tight smile, let out a sigh and sat down on the sofa.


I'm sorry that I made you angry..... I'm sorry for being an idiot.''
No, no, no, don't worry about it too much.
That's right. I don't know anything about that kind of sluggishness.　Don't worry about it!
Thank you.


　Hanna lifted her face as Amira sat down next to her, laughing merrily, and seemed to be cheered up a bit. The blue bouncing hair bounces around.


''It's always been that way, isn't it........ When I left the village, my parents stopped me because I didn't have a plan, and they also stopped me when I said I was going to tank in the Aldrete crow. But in the end, I just ran away. It's really stupid, isn't it?
What?　What's that? Even Tsutomu knew that and asked him out, didn't he?　Huh?


　Tsutomu glared at Amira accusingly when she suddenly broke off the conversation, but after letting out a sigh, he looked down at Hannah. She looked even smaller than usual, probably because of her depression.


'I don't think I'm an idiot. The reason I decided to ask you out was because I heard you were a fist fighter and a tank.
But I wouldn't have asked you out without it, would I?
Well, I guess so.
I mean, Hannah joined the clan because she was an idiot. That's why she's an idiot. And I'm not the same kind of stupid. That's the thing. You can be dumb as long as you're healthy.
What kind of nonsense is that? You fool, Amira.
f*ck!　No, stop!


　Glaring with zit eyes, Hannah smacked Amira's head with the wings on her back. After that, Amira's red hair, which had been treated to a back and forth slap with the wings, was crisply caught in the loose blue feathers.


''Well that's right!　There's no point in worrying about it!　Master!　I'm going to do my best!
Oh, yeah. Good luck.


　As if to regain her spirits, Hannah slapped herself on both cheeks, then grabbed the paper with the types of arrows written on it and went back to her room on the second floor.


'Nah, that guy!　I gave you a pep talk and you slapped me with all your might!
Well, you're feeling better now. Thank you. You're a great encourager.


　Amira looked unconvinced as her long red hair was ruffled, but she reluctantly tucked away her anger as Tsutomu told her to do so and asked her to take the feather out of her red hair. And then he snatched the comb that Tsutomu was about to hand over and started brushing his hair.


'Hm. It's just that it's annoying to be depressed by someone stronger than me. It's just that I'm not going to be in a position to do so.
Okay.
Can I hit you with one?
I don't want to.


　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do if you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're going to do.


　--Oooh--


　The next day, the Infinite Circle made the final adjustments for the Mounted Golem battle. This time, in order to assemble attacks around Diniel's Stream Arrow, which could unleash a powerful attribute attack, thorough training was done to prevent misfires from occurring due to lack of coordination.

　Most of the cues in the Kaburaya 《Kaburaya》 were mainly sent to Hannah, who attracts the mounted golem, so they are released close to her. However, the place where that arrow was released had been changed.


''Hiyah.''


　An arrow with a wooden flute-like object attached to it passes just above Hannah's head. It's so close that you can feel the wind pressure of that powerful arrow.

　Until now, such arrows had flown by every now and then, but only the archers' arrows had all passed very close to Hanna. After the battle was over, Hannah spoke awkwardly to Diniel, who had his usual sleepy eyes.


''De, Diniel?''
What are your instructions?
What?
What are those sound instructions?
No, no, I didn't get it. I'm sorry.
Okay. Now, next time you listen to me and tell me what I want you to do.
Okay.


　She seemed a little angry yesterday, so I expected her to say something, but she didn't say anything in particular, so Hannah turned away as if she was relieved. To Hannah, Diniel called out to her as she remembered.


'If you're wrong, your hand might slip.
"Huh?
Like this.


　Diniel quickly turned on the arrow and fired a whip at a nearby rock, the arrow, compensated by STR (attack power) and DEX (dexterity), gouged the rock when it landed on the rock, despite the fact that it was made of wood. Hanna's mouth twitched as she saw the arrow shattered into pieces with a tone that sounded like a cry.


''Jeez, you're kidding, right?''
I'm not sure.
I'm going to kill it.


　Hannah instinctively knew she was in danger when she saw Diniel's pupils dilated. Then Hannah was able to understand and answer all the instructions correctly, thanks to the fact that she had studied yesterday.


'Amira-san. Let's try to keep a little more distance between us.
Okay.


　Daryl has also started to be more active and vocal in the battle when he knows he can talk to Amira. He is beginning to be aware of giving Amira instructions on hate management and taking control of the battle situation himself.

　Amira had already approved of Daryl, so she followed his instructions to the letter. The silent coordination up until now was good enough to function normally, but after Daryl started to speak up, the coordination started to get even better.


'Good work,'
Oh.


　From Tsutomu's point of view, Daryl looks like a junior and Amira like a senior, but their previously silent battle has become a conversation. Amira rarely speaks to me on her own, but if Daryl tells her to, she listens with a keen ear.

　And when they were silently working together, there was something like a wall between them, from Daryl's point of view. Amira didn't feel there was a wall at all, but he definitely had it. There was an impression that it was somewhat difficult to talk to him, and he was unable to say what he wanted to say. It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

　However, when you spoke to her, she was surprisingly receptive to what you had to say. Her tone is often scary and teasing, but she doesn't deny the conversation. As soon as he realized this, the wall between him and Amira that Daryl had felt was removed and he felt so much more comfortable mentally.

　Tsutomu was smiling at the sight of the two of them conversing and doing his usual supportive recovery. He had already gotten used to standing around in the robe of the Burning Rock, so he was thinking of various ways to run medics and barriers on Hannah, who was prone to running out of stamina.

　That, and thinking about how quickly to prepare his equipment after reviving when someone died, and he also had in mind how to stand around when he made hate with a raise. I could manage it to some extent because of the Burning Rock Robe, but once the healer died, the PT would lose the means to revive him. Thinking about not letting that happen, Tsutomu had given himself a Haste to stand around and used a barrier to tap into the sense of mental power consumption.

　After the final adjustment was successfully completed, Tsutomu was able to defeat it, and the next day he finally decided to challenge the Mounted Golem.
