After that, the three of them explored the seventy-one levels with a break in between, and then rounded up and returned at noon. Amira began to use it more and more during the battle to control her dragonization as Tsutomu had told her to do. I'm sure you'll be able to find out how to control it, since she's currently in a hazy state of consciousness while she's turning into a dragon.

　Daryl also began to pay a little more attention to Tsutomu, perhaps because of his experience of forming a PT with the guild staff. Daryl's head was spinning and capable enough, so being aware of that didn't disrupt his normal standing.


'I guess it would be nice if he paid attention to where he was standing. It would be nice if they could keep me out of the line of fire.
I understand.


　Normally that wouldn't be the case since Tsutomu was careful about where he stood, but if he was in the line of fire, the monster's long-range attack aimed at the tank could hit the healer. Tsutomu then left it up to Daryl to decide where to stand. However, he was still using his fly because he was really afraid of being hit, though.

　After returning to eat lunch, Hannah joined the PT and headed back to the seventy-one level. Hannah can't wear equipment like the national costume on the snowfield level, so she's now equipped with a custom-made one that isn't made in the dungeon.

　Hannah is a bird person with wings on her back, so like Amira, she will need custom-made equipment. Fortunately, Doren's wife owns a leather and fabric crafting workshop, so I asked her to make it for me. Incidentally, that woman also made Amira's equipment for me.

　However, Hannah's equipment until now had increased STR (attack strength) and AGI (agility), so if I changed them, my senses would change. Therefore, getting used to the senses is essential.

　But after actually experiencing the 71st level, Hannah thought it was impossible to do so with that equipment, so she had been training without equipment in her home village for the past two weeks. Therefore, she had already gotten used to the feeling that her AGI had dropped a notch.


'Ugh, it's still a bit hard to move around.
"Just give it a week to see how it goes. They'll change it if it doesn't work for you.
Okay.


　The soft, white, snowy fabric was designed to prevent pain when it hits the wings, but Hannah, who had never worn such equipment before, still seemed to find it difficult to move. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time. Can you stand around without a fly?
'What?　Well, I can,
Why don't you give it a try?
It's fine, but...


　The kind of bird people with wings on their backs, like Hanna, are unable to flap their wings and fly because their body structure is heavy and their strength is ineffective. Even if they could, they could only glide, so they focused on other uses until the God's Dungeon appeared and they were able to fly on the fly.

　That's the use of flapping the wings on his back to accelerate and decelerate while running on the ground. Hannah also learned that until she was fourteen years old, so she can do that standing around too, to a point. However, standing around while flying in the sky was Hannah's forte and her confidence, so she was a little dissatisfied.


''I heard it's snowing on the seventy-fifth level. I want to try to match it with the ground standing around just in case.''
...Oh, I see. I don't mind the rain, but I don't know about the snow for sure.
Oh, really?


　Tsutomu, who had thought that if it rained, his wings would get wet and he wouldn't be able to fly, raised his eyebrows in surprise. Then Hannah slowly spread the blue wings behind her as if she were proud of them.


''They'll repel the water properly, so you'll be fine!
Yeah. By the way, what about strong winds and such?
That's a terrible idea for a guy who can fly.
Yeah,


　Then Tsutomu thought that the blizzard was no good, so he decided to have Hanna stand around on the ground for a while without putting a fly on her. However, she was also standing around mainly on the ground until she came to the labyrinth city, so she was moderately good at it.

　Tsutomu also minimizes floating on the fly and provides support from the ground. After all, it is easier to support by floating on a fly, but this is all we can do. Although he felt it was difficult to do, he didn't run out of support as usual.

　The four of us continued to explore while dealing with the environment and monsters of the snowfield hierarchy. And by the time the evening came, they stopped their search and returned to the clan house early.


''Welcome back.''
Welcome back.


　Oli greeted the four thickly clad men, and the young apprentice servant next to him also bowed his head to follow suit. Considering the addition of the clan members this time and the future of the clan, Oli alone was not enough manpower, so he hired an additional servant. That was the young woman next to Oli.

　Her background as a servant was not that long, and the fact that she moved from place to place of employment bothered Tsutomu. But since she was a relative of Oli's, and since it was a long overdue request, Tsutomu hired her for a trial period. However, he doesn't plan to fire her unless she does something criminal.


'I'm hungry.'


　After Tsutomu took a bath, he changed into his loungewear and headed into the living room to find a sleepy-eyed Diniel sitting on the couch. He didn't respond as if Hannah, after her bath, was flicking her golden ponytail with her fingers.

　Oli and the apprentice, who was around twenty years old, were cooking one dish after another and preparing dinner. The sound of Oli's voice skipping instructions in a small voice and the sound of peeling vegetables with a knife can be heard.

　Tsutomu is reading the dungeon newspaper he's putting down, and Diniel is annoyingly paying Hannah for her messing around. Tsutomu looks at it from time to time as he continues to read the newspaper.

　The Solit newspaper is basically a black and white newspaper with black and white photos and articles written by a reporter. The main feature of Solit newspaper is also its photographs. A photographic camera that can capture images of the shrine is a very rare item that comes out of a silver treasure chest and is extremely valuable.

　As soon as the camera comes out of the chest, it is purchased by the Babenberg family, who then takes it to the capital. The former Solitte family was very influential because they controlled the media, but they were no match for the aristocrats in King's Landing, so it was impossible for them to get their hands on a camera.

　A photographic machine comes out of the divine dungeon with a probability of coming out once a year or not. And when five of them were presented to the royal capital, the Babenberg family finally got their hands on the photo machine. At that time, the Sollit company had done everything in its power to obtain the photo machine they had longed for.

　Incidentally, the gold treasure chest, which has been found only once before, contains a photographic camera that can take colored pictures. It was presented to the King's Landing and is under strict control.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's interested in this. Besides, the King's Landing is not currently at war either, so the Babenberg family did not force them to buy the Black Staff.

　There are only six photographic machines in the world that currently exist, and one of them is in the hands of Solitte. As a newspaper company, that advantage is huge, and it is the reason why Sollit newspaper is still selling well.

　Compared to that, the other two companies are bigger than before and have accumulated money, but naturally they don't have a small number of photographic machines. Therefore, they tried to differentiate themselves by posting good illustrations and articles written by labyrinth maniacs instead of photographs.

　For Tsutomu, the two newspapers that carried articles contributed by labyrinth maniacs were more informative. There are a lot of people who love to go through the labyrinth, and many of them contribute articles from various perspectives, so it can be interesting and informative.

　Most of them are basically looking at the maze as a hobby, and most of them contribute articles as if they were sending letters to the radio. But there are some who make a living out of it.

　Those who put out insightful, accurate or engaging articles are sometimes approached by newspapers and signed up to work as dive writers. The Holy Knight, who is due to join in a week from now, also earned money doing this as a side hustle in addition to his clan activities.

　Others have gone beyond the realm of labyrinth mania to become critics and commentators, such as clan critique groups, predicting future trends, and live commentary on divine platforms. Those people had become so popular that some of them were now making a living out of it.


(Ah, this one.)


　Tsutomu found an article written by the holy knight he was going to join, a man named Zeno. Tsutomu has been glancing at it for some time, and he continues to read the article he wrote.

　The tone of the articles written by Zeno is strong, and it strongly stimulates the reader. The articles that he writes say what he wants to say in a straightforward manner and have a certain level of support from his subscribers who are looking for stimulation.

　However, there are times when my predictions go wrong, and I was one of the people who, after hitting Hanna's avoidance tank a lot at first, turned my hand around after breaking through the 70th level. At that time, Xeno was beaten en masse by his subscribers, and he issued an apology article.

　If the prediction was correct, they were happy that Zeno was right and that their prediction was correct, and if not, they beat him up to relieve themselves. Either way, the subscribers are not offended, so he may be helping the people vent, for a change. If he's writing for the sake of it, he's very much aware of his subscribers' psychology.


(He's definitely not thinking that way, though.)


　The impression Tsutomu got when he met Zeno was that he was a confident man. That's the only thing that can be said about him. It's not a character that is willing to let himself be beaten up to ventilate the public. When you meet him, the first thing he says is that you have a good eye for detail, and after that he's been telling you for three hours why he thinks you'll become a top clan if you join him.

　But surprisingly, that reason was rather convincing, so Tsutomu listened to it normally. Seeing his reaction, Xeno seemed to feel that he had already been accepted, and then he was asked to dig deep about the rewards and his future activities. He didn't answer that question with a mumbled answer, but at first, Tsutomu secretly thought that he would definitely drop this guy.


(Well, what else...)


　That's what Tsutomu thought, but the three tanks he talked to later in the day clearly had the intention of aiming for the second army. If that was the case, Tsutomu had come to the conclusion that Xeno was better, so he decided to let him join the clan.

　As Tsutomu was flipping through a newspaper, Daryl and Amira also came out of the bath. Amira, whose long, dry red hair was tied up with a hair elastic to keep it out of the way, looked into the kitchen and then sat down on the couch. Daryl also sat next to Amira, who is no longer in her permanent position.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time. Lately, Amira has also been looking at the newspaper to get information about the snowfield hierarchy, but she always frowns at it, as if she doesn't like the list of letters.

　Daryl's black tail wags from side to side as he looks forward to dinner. He looks like a dog that has been instructed to wait in front of his food. And as Oli begins to bring the food to the table, Daryl happily gets up and heads to his seat.


(We'll have to get some extra chairs, too.)


　Leleia and the prayer woman wanted to live in, so they already had their rooms ready to go. However, Tsutomu had forgotten about the living room and decided to talk to Oli about it later. By the way, Xeno was a basic commuter, and he might stay there once in a while.

　Daryl and Amira were already gobbling up a light appetizer before the meal. While Tsutomu was also picking up a salad that was almost gone, he was thinking about various things in the future.
