You look like you made it through. Congratulations.


　After returning to the Clan House after exploring the seventy-nine levels with a four-man PT, Tsutomu knew that Daryl and the others were able to capture the seventy levels in one go due to the commotion on the way. Daryl bowed his head at Tsutomu's words and Diniel returned a light reply.

　Xeno was not in the clan house as his wife, who had been waiting for him as soon as he returned to the guild from the 70th level, dragged him away. Corina was gobbling up the sumptuous dinner appetizer that Oli had prepared as a victory celebration.


'Of course. If we'd lost, I would have blown it.
Congratulations!
Thank you!


　Amira and Hannah, who had returned with her, also sent compliments to Daryl. Tsutomu complimented Corina because he had heard that the prayer warrior had done a great job, and she stopped eating and bowed her head several times as if in fear.


'I had the privilege of observing today. .... please don't be too reckless.
Um, yes. I'll do my best.


　Oli, who was worried but couldn't say too much, handed the dishes to Daryl with a smile that seemed to be forced to be made. Daryl felt somewhat apologetic at her appearance, and lowered the black tail behind her.

　Tsutomu noticed Oli's appearance and put the spherical Undine in his pocket on the desk and then spoke to them.


'I couldn't see it, so tell me a bit about the seventy levels.
'Oh!　I want to hear it too!


　Then the requesting group PT's began to talk over dinner, and a summary of the seventy levels was spoken with Daryl at the center. Daryl, who was a little concerned about the silent Diniel, proceeded to eat while talking about bland things.

　Daryl had noticed that Diniel had been cutting corners along the way, but apart from that, she was doing a reasonable job. In fact, it was safe to say that she was more active than he was. So Daryl couldn't say anything to Diniel, and she didn't say it because she didn't care either.

　Corrina, with her low self-esteem and inability to be strong around others, tends to be somewhat reserved towards Daryl and Diniel. That's why he or she is keeping quiet about Daryl's behavior that was a bit too reckless and Diniel's cutting corners.


''We were able to break through like that.
"...Hmmm. I see. No, but I honestly didn't think I'd be able to break through in one go. Good job.


　Tsutomu sensed the delicate atmosphere between the three of them to some extent, and looked at Diniel, who was eating with little interruption. And as Diniel tilted his head curiously, Tsutomu let out a bitter smile and cast a glance at Oli in the kitchen.


''From Oli-san's point of view, how did the three of you fare?''
''No, I'm still a novice at dungeons myself, so I didn't think it would be a good idea to interfere in a strange way.
'No, no, I've heard you've been looking at Kamindai a little bit lately, so it's fine. If there's something that's bothering you, could you tell me?
Okay, I'll see what I can do. All right, I'll be with you in a moment. I'll get the file for you.


　After finishing filling the tub with water, Oli entrusted the apprentice with washing the dishes, and then trundled upstairs. And soon he returned with a bundle of paper. Everyone seemed to be surprised at the amount of paper.


''This will be a document prepared by a labyrinth maniac. If we were to make an evaluation based on this, we could say that this time's attack on the seventy levels was an accomplishment. However, it's not that there were no problems. First of all, Daryl-san.
Yes, sir.
This time it's obvious that you are being too reckless. One wrong move and you're dead for sure. .... and you, who are aware of your surroundings, could have used the Xeno more successfully. I don't understand why you insisted on a one-man tank, this is what I don't understand.
I'm sorry.


　Daryl apologized to Oli, whose opinion was a sharp change from earlier, as his dog ears stiffened. Then he turned to Diniel, who was stretching himself absent next to him.


'You can't be stretching yourself, Diniel. You were clearly out of touch when Xeno and Melcho died. What do you mean by that?'
It's fine. I just saved my arrows because I knew I couldn't do it anymore.
'Then you should at least talk to the other PT members. It's outrageous to give up work of your own volition alone.
..........


　That being said, Diniel fell silent, but still stared at Oli as if he had no intention of backing down. Tsutomu looks curious that Oli went out of his way to bring up the material and start discussing it, and the others are quietly leaving the table, not wanting to offend her mood.


'How did it go with Corina?'
'I don't think I saw anything that bad about Mr. Corrina. Would you like to take a look at the documents, if you would like?
Oh, hi.
Let's get the hell out of here before they start shooting at us.
Stand down. Stand down.


　Tsutomu, who received the materials from Oli, read the contents as if he were biting into them. Seeing this, Hanna and Amira whispered and quickly put away the dishes and took refuge upstairs, while Leleia was taken by them. Undine, who was on the desk, was purring and shaking.

　The three of them were then listened to by Oli and Tsutomu in plenty of time, and a review meeting was to be held in the flow.


　-Oh-.


Oh.


　Diniel, whose long ears, characteristic of elves, were wrapped in a woolly-woven winter gear, screamed out as if he felt different from before. Diniel, who had become resistant to the cold due to the blessing of the adventure god used by Corina, was able to exert his normal strength as long as he wore the winter gear.


''Nuh?　What's wrong with you two?　You have no energy!
No.


　Daryl and Corina, who were made to stay with Oli and Tsutomu yesterday for a review session, had a difficult look on their faces as they thought about what they needed to do now. Daryl has been told not to focus too much on the boundaries of the limit, and Corina has been told to practice on skill rotation and understanding the duration of the effect.

　Yesterday Oli was different from the usual and seemed to be somewhat irresistible, and Daryl could only shake his head. Corina had also been complimented by Tsutomu about the Grim Reaper's eyes that foresaw death, but he had been advised to stand around, which was the basis of a prayer warrior for him.

　Incidentally, even the now cheerful Zeno was not that cerebral, as his wife had scolded him severely yesterday. Except for Diniel, all of them are worried about wanting to grow up themselves, and Melcho, who is watching the scene, seems to be smiling.

　And even after breaking through the 70th level, the requesting group PT began to attack the snowfield of the 71st level without a break. However, since the information of the snowfield layer is known by the attacking team led by Tsutomu, the requesting team's PTs don't have any trouble in searching for the Black Gate.

　In addition, the scenery at the Snowfield Level is mostly white, so the black gate is relatively easy to find. The environment of the Snowfield Hierarchy can be mitigated to a great extent by Korina's skills, so the cold weather is not a problem for everyone.

　They are a threat to the monsters as they basically attack in packs, but they can be dealt with if you know in advance. Especially since Diniel, who wanted to get used to the movement in the snowfield level quickly, took the lead in hunting them, there was no battle that was particularly difficult.

　Although there are mid-boss-like monsters in the Snowfield Hierarchy as well as the Borseye, this time they did not appear randomly at the Black Gate, so the Request Group PTs were not lucky enough to encounter them.

　Thus, the requesting PTs proceeded at the pace of one level every two days while being forced to deal with monsters from time to time, and were able to reach the 80th level in about three weeks.

　In front of the black gate that leads to the 80th level, Melcho expresses his gratitude and makes an eye bow.


You have done a great job. Thank you for taking care of an old man's selfishness.
No, thank you, too.


　Daryl had heard from Oli that Melcho would have died on purpose after breaking through the seventy levels. But if Melcho hadn't died at the seventy level, he wouldn't have been able to reach the limit. That much he knew, so Daryl bowed his head.

　After that, Melcho spoke to each of them, once they dove into the 80th level and died for now so that they could transition immediately. Melcho said that after securing the magic stones to be used against the blizzard and for the Fist of Demon Flow, he would take on the 80th level with all his might.

　And so, two months had passed since the infinite circle was divided into the attack group PT and the request group PT. The infinite circle returned to one PT again after the request with Melcho ended. There were two people knocking on the door of that clan house.
