Daryl got new equipment with countermeasures against the Mounted Golem, and the two scorching rock robes were provided to Xeno and Korina. And with Daryl at the center, the plan for the seventy levels was also decided upon, and they all figured it out.


''That's easy.''
Haha.....


　Xeno and Corina graduated from the Academy in the King's Capital, so they have a certain amount of knowledge and have a high ability to grasp the strategy. Daryl returns a bitter smile at Diniel's words, who had repeatedly reminded Hanna of the details of the strategy. He must have felt it too, just because he had told Amira the strategy many times.

　This strategy would be a slightly improved version of the one Aldoret Crow had used to break through the seventy levels. Unlike last time, you will be attacking without an avoidance tank, so the key will be how to suppress the mount golems that move faster in the latter half of the game.

　However, with Aldoret Crow, there was no way to completely prevent the heat ray attack. Therefore, the plan was for the tank to stand around on the assumption that it would die, and for the healer to revive the dead one to keep the battle going. However, that would be impossible without an excellent healer, or at least someone as good as Stephanie.

　However, this time, there was heavy armor for the anti-mounted golem that Doren had created after reflecting on his previous reflection, as well as the dungeon-produced heat-resistant equipment, the Burning Rock Robe. With those equipment, the tank would be somewhat easier to tank, so it would be possible to stand around and not die.

　However, it's impossible for a normal tank to hold down a Mounted Golem in the final stages of the game alone like Hannah did, so it's important for the two of them to share the burden and not collapse.


''Xeno-san, it's your turn.''
Yes, sir.


　If you focus too much hate on one of the faster-moving mounted golems at the end of the game, even Daryl will die quickly. Before that happens, the reserve tank needs to form a flow that takes away the hate and lets the depleted one rest. That flow needed to be done without stagnation during the battle, so Daryl and Xeno needed to work closely together.

　But as a test, the two checked their cooperation with the bolthayer and surprisingly, they were breathing well together. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world and what's going on in the world. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's going on in the world. Therefore, there was no particular problem in terms of coordination.

　As for the attackers, Diniel would be in charge of the Mounted Golem, while Melcho would be in charge of dealing with the miscellaneous fish enemies that would spring up. With the two of them being excellent, there wouldn't be any problems.

　The problem is Korina, the prayer warrior, who will enter the 70th level for the first time this time. Even though the two tanks are excellent, this is the first time that Xeno is fighting a mounted golem, and Daryl had a bitter experience last time. Therefore, it is possible that the two tanks could collapse at once.

　Such situations are where the true value of a healer is tested, but so far Korina has never experienced such a critical situation in this PT. Therefore, no one knows what would happen to Korina if she were to face a crisis situation.

　And the job of a Prayer Master can't revive her instantly like a white mage. Therefore, if one of the tanks died, it was predictable that the development would be very painful if either tank died.

　As a means of resuscitation for a prayer warrior, there is a skill called Prayer of Resuscitation. However, this could not be activated immediately, even if he used the prayer word, which accelerates the activation time of the skill. Therefore, the tank will have to take care of the mount golem alone, and if it's not good, it will be a total collapse.


'The point is, as long as the tank doesn't collapse, right?　Then it should be no problem.
Yes.


　Corina returns to Xeno, who says it with a confident expression, with white eyes. Of course, it's nothing to be ashamed of, and if Daryl, who once crossed the 70th level, said so, Korina would have agreed. However, unlike the time of the 60th level, this time it was annoying that Xeno, who was supposed to be in the same position as you, was so confident, but Korina had a cold face.


''In the meantime, I've been given two chances, so it's okay if I fail. As long as you can figure out the movements of the Mounted Golem the first time, it won't be a problem, so Corina-san will be fine as long as you support us as usual.
''Hmm. I'd like to make a spectacular initial attack anyway.
Of course I'm going to win.
Huh?


　Xeno raised one eyebrow in amusement at Daryl's bullish statement. Daryl's mood changed after it was decided to take on the 70th level with this PT, and I no longer saw a somewhat unreliable expression on his face. Still, it was rare for him to say or do something that would challenge Xeno.

　One could sense from Daryl that he had the spirit to definitely break through the seventy levels with this PT. It was giving this PT a good sense of tension. Xeno's smile deepened at Daryl's power as he seemed to be catching up with him from behind, while Korina nervously gripped the talisman around her neck to meet her expectations.


''Hohoho. That's good. A young man should be like that.''
..........


　Melcho looked at Daryl with a spirited smile and then laughed, only Diniel was the same as usual, for better or worse. But her inner thoughts were not good.

　Diniel found it difficult to break through the seventy levels with this face. If Melchou was serious, he would be able to break through easily, but looking at this situation, he could expect that he wouldn't do so. If that was the case, his reliance would be on Daryl, who had experience in combat with Mount Golem, but from Diniel, who had seen him trembling and shrinking before, it would be impossible to trust him.

　He knows he looks like he's already recovered and has been practicing, but there's a good chance he could fall apart again. That's why Diniel doesn't think he can rely on Daryl to do much.

　After the rest, the two of them are excellent, but I don't see the same potential as Tsutomu and Hannah. Perhaps they were people who could break through after a few attempts, but she was sure that it would be impossible to break through the first time without someone like those two.

　Besides, more than anything else, Diniel was angry at Tsutomu and Melcho's actions. In the first place, the seventy levels were supposed to be joined by Tsutomu and Hannah, overtaking Xeno and Korina to join the PT. Tsutomu had changed that, and furthermore Melcho had allowed it. Diniel hadn't said it out loud when Tsutomu had suggested it, but he hated it inside.

　As before, if Hannah took the Mounted Golem's hate, the battle would go on easily, and if someone died, Tsutomu could easily rebuild the PT. But I can't expect that from Xeno and Korina. I have to work for them.


(Heck.)


　Diniel, who was in such a state of mind, looked at the three people in excitement with somewhat blank eyes, then pulled the strings as if to check the condition of the black bow.


　--▽▽▽--


Well, goodbye!


　After finishing confirming the cooperation with Daryl and receiving the documents containing the details of the strategy for the 70th level, Xeno said goodbye to the four of them. He then walked with his chest out in the opposite direction from the Clan House of the Infinite Circle.

　The people who passed by couldn't help but look back at him for Zeno's confident atmosphere. Some of them seemed to know Zeno, and he had been approached several times. After shaking hands and winking at such people as usual, Xeno went home to his wife's waiting house, dealing with them several times afterwards.


'I'm home!'
..........


　My wife's reaction to Zeno when he returned was very cold. Once she turned her attention to Zeno, she began to write the rest of the article in silence.

　The sound of crunching and running a quill across the paper is the only sound in the room. However, this was still relatively better than when Xeno had told her she was entering the infinite circle. Back then, he was knocked out of the house in the blink of an eye, and Xeno once stayed in the Clan House of the Infinite Circle.

　Shortly before the Infinite Circle began recruiting PT members, Zeno had been scouted by Aldoret Crow, a major clan.

　Some of this is due to the hard work that Zeno has put in every day, but the majority of the credit goes to his wife. He gave a clear course of action to Zeno, who had been struggling to work hard, and it paid off. He invested the money he earned from his own work, and his wife secretly laid the groundwork for Aldrete Crow.

　That's how he got his ticket to Aldoret Crow. When Zeno brought home the ticket, his wife was uncharacteristically overjoyed and soaring. He, too, was grateful that his wife had done so much for him and supported him until now.

　But the next day, the Infinite Circle began recruiting PT members. It is a clan that has been talked about quite a bit since it broke through the seventy levels on the first try, and it is where Garum, who Zeno has self-certified as a rival, is rumored to be entering.

　Zeno confirmed that Tank was in the Infinite Circle's recruiting guidelines and wanted to take it. He knew he should join Aldoret Crow, but in a fit of revelatory emotion, Xeno consulted his wife once.

　From there, it was a struggle. Originally, his wife, who was a junior in the royal capital's academy, gave Xeno the impression that she was a quiet person and would pull back if pushed, but here she rebelled head-on without taking a step back. And with the arguments that theorized from the ground up about the efforts and processes that had been going on, Zeno was beaten to a pulp and nearly broke down.

　But Xeno didn't falter in the nick of time. He had an unfounded intuition that the Infinite Circle had more potential than Aldoret Crow.


'That's why Aldoret Crow is better!
'But!　And yet, I will enter the infinite circle!
You have no idea!
Huh?


　Eventually, Zeno was punched in the cheek by his wife and blown clean off. He was then told to do what he wanted and ended up being kicked out of the house.

　But Zeno felt guilty about his wife too, so he went to the house every day from then on. But at first he wouldn't let me in the house, so I stayed in the infinite circle once.

　After that, I started to prepare my sleeping bag and warmth gear and camp out in front of my wife's house. It was very cold now, as it was winter season, and camping outside was hard on his body. But Xeno knew he was in the wrong, so he went to his wife's house every day without fail.

　After a month of this, my wife let Xeno in with a loud sigh. His attitude remains cold, as he did earlier, but the relationship has recovered until he can talk to her somewhat thanks to the month-long apology.


I'm going to tackle the 70th level tomorrow.
Yes.
I'm going to break through. And then you won't forgive me?
..........


　His wife looks down at Zeno with cold eyes as he kneels in front of her and tells her to propose to him. But she's already forgiven him when she lets Zeno into the house. But she's lost sight of where she can shake this anger off and is unable to pull back.

　This is the place called the 70th level breakthrough that I visited. My wife was inwardly relieved that this awkward relationship was finally over.


''Then.........''
'Oh!　What is it?!
'If you don't break through tomorrow, you will do one thing I tell you to do. All right?
"...that's an impossible proposition. If you ask me to leave you, I'm in trouble.


　When his wife saw Zeno's almost unseen, tragic face, her eyes quivered and she held her mouth. Then, as if to shake her off, she grabbed Xeno's hand.


'Oh!　God!　Well, if you don't break through, date me next time!　That's all you need to know!
You sure you want to do this?
Shit!　Why do you look so bitter?　It's so much harder for me!　It's not fair!


　His wife turned red in the face and took Zeno's hand and made him stand. Zeno hugged her from the front and cried out as if he was relieved.


'I'm really sorry. For taking the liberty of doing something so selfish.
That's enough. I'm well aware of your selfishness. Hey!　We don't have time for this!　We'll be ready for tomorrow in a minute!
'But if you don't get through, it's a date, right?　I'd rather lose--
Do you want to get hit again?
I'm sorry.


　Zeno apologizes flatly to his wife who clenched her fist and brought it in front of her face. And his wife, who let out a dumbfounded sigh, packed up tomorrow's countermeasures while handing Zeno the information and countermeasure equipment for the seventy levels that had been compiled in advance.
