Ta-da!
Oh, there you are.


　Tsutomu noticed a bright voice coming from outside early in the morning and told Oli to let him in. Since it was a holiday today, all the clan members were resident except for Xeno. Thinking it would be a good opportunity to introduce them, Tsutomu had everyone gather in the living room.

　Then two of them walked into the living room with Oli. Amy, the cat person, gave Tsutomu a bouncy smile as she bounced her white hair.


''Just come!
Welcome back. Leave your stuff upstairs for now. Then I'll introduce you to everyone.
I get it!


　Amy, who is so energetic that she looks like she's about to explode with energy in her body, says that and follows Oli.


'Yoo-hoo, Dini-chan!
Oh.


　Amy, who had a large magic bag slung over her shoulder, high-fived Diniel, who looked as unmotivated as ever, on her way.

　As Tsutomu looked away from Amy, he looked quizzically at the woman behind her with the distinctive white rabbit ears.


''What's with those eyes!　Don't you want it?　Am I the girl you don't want?!
No, I thought you were Garm. But I don't think you're coming with us. What are you doing here, Lorena?
"I was walking and I bumped into Amy at the corner. After that, I kind of just drifted off.


　Lorena is a rabbit person who belongs to the Silver Beast. She is counted as one of the three great healers, and she put her hand behind her head and looked embarrassed. Then she quickly changed her expression and crowded over to Tsutomu.


''Because even if I invited you, Tsutomu, you wouldn't come to my house at all!　I thought I'd have to come over here now!
'Oh. I thought it was a social call or something.
'No, sir!　Let me know when you're available!　We're coming our way!


　After being poked in the face with his long rabbit ears, Tsutomu took a few steps back and then looked up a bit to think.


'Lately, though, I'm still free tomorrow and in a week's time.
'So I'll come get you tomorrow!　See you tomorrow!


　With a wink and one of her rabbit ears bent over at the same time, Lorena quickly left the clan house. By the time Tsutomu blurted out what the hell was going on, Amy had put her stuff down and came down to the living room. When Tsutomu approached Amy, who looked like a new student, she made everyone look at her.


''Yes. Then please introduce yourself.''
Amy!　Nice to meet you!


　Corina and Hannah, who knew Amy well, clapped quickly, and the others were sparse. But even the apprentices knew only Amy, and they looked at her like they were looking at a celebrity.


'Amy's job is a twin swordsman, and I wonder if she'll fit in the attacker slot. I heard that Garum will be here today, so we'll try to match our moves in the dungeon once we're all here. Amy, please stand by until then.
Yes, sir. Dini!　Help me clean up my room!
Yeah.


　The room was not yet cleared, and Amy called Diniel for help and shuffled up the stairs. Diniel's eyes narrowed in annoyance, but he hurriedly went upstairs.


''Oh..... Amy's really here, huh? It's great!''
That's true. I can't really feel it, can I? Is it the same PT as Amy's?


　The two who had seen Amy well in the divine table from the beginning seemed deeply moved. Leleia and Amira didn't know that much about her, or their reactions were thin, and Daryl looked a little frightened because he had been treated coldly a few times.


''Ah, Leleia. Contract me again today.
Yes. The Contract--undine.


　Lately, Tsutomu has been contracted with Undine, who can increase his mental power by one level all the time, and he's been trying to get around in that situation. However, if he dove into the divine dungeon without forming a PT with her, the contract would be cancelled, so he would only be able to stand around when Leleia was in the PT.

　Undine, which has taken the form of a slime that landed sticky on Tsutomu's hand, was later tucked away in a pocket in Tsutomu's robe. It's a good thing that Undine is no longer in the same place, because it's nowhere to be found, and it's settled down quietly these days.

　Tsutomu has also made contracts with other sylphs that look like fairies and red lizard salamanders. However, those spirits are often used by Leleia, so she doesn't contract them very often. As for gnomes, he has never even signed a contract with them, as he doesn't need them from Tsutomu's point of view, since they are a VIT increase. Leleia says that Norm is sad to be left out of the mix, but he couldn't help but have no use for it at the moment.


(Who would Amy team up with?)


　If it's a good match as an attacker, it's safe to pair it with Diniel, who seems to be a good friend of mine, but there are many other combinations you can try. In particular, you'll want to see how it works with Amira and Leia.

　As for the tank, I think it would work well with Hannah, but it's unclear if the others would fit. He's a bit cold with Garum, bickering with Garum in ten ways and a bit cold with his apprentice Daryl. I don't know what the combination with Xeno would be since it's unknown, but Tsutomu thought it probably wouldn't be a good fit.

　As for Corina, she had formed a PT with a prayer warrior in the guild, so she would be able to get around it surprisingly well. He wouldn't know that area unless he actually set up a PT once.

　Tsutomu waited for Garum to come to the clan house while drawing out this and that PT structure that he had thought of in advance.


　-▽▽▽-


　About the time the afternoon rolled around, the Clan House doorbell rang. Then Oli greeted them and brought them into the living room.

　Garum, the indigo dog person who was supposed to come to the Infinite Circle today. Behind him, Weiss, the clan leader of the Red Demon Clan, was also following him for some reason.

　Before God's Dungeon was created, Weiss was famous for conquering dungeons alone. Corina, Hannah and Daryl gasped at the strange atmosphere. Tsutomu felt déjà vu and smiled dryly.


''You have a lot of customers today.''
'I'm sorry. You asked me to bring you along, so I brought you along for the ride. Apparently, I need to talk to Tsutomu.
..........


　Weiss bowed silently beside Garum, who was folding his dog ears. When Tsutomu asked him what was wrong, Weiss looked back at him with the same sharp eyes as usual.


''Well Alma wants to apologize to Tsutomu in person. I'm sorry, but do you have any free days?
Oh, I see. ...Then how about tomorrow evening, around?　If that day isn't available, I can do it next week.
That won't be a problem. I'll be back tomorrow evening to pick you up. Thank you.


　With that, Weiss bowed his head again and then quickly left the clan house. Hanna and Corina, who had been frozen at the sudden visit of Weiss, exhaled in relief.


''That was scary...''
That's true. The real thing is really powerful, isn't it?


　While Hannah and Corina whispered to each other in a small voice, Tsutomu called out to Garum and told him to leave his luggage upstairs. Then, after letting them introduce themselves as well as Amy, Xeno, who had gathered in the afternoon, joined them for lunch.

　More and more platters of food were being laid out on the table, and additional chairs were added to make it possible for twelve people to sit on them. More and more clan members were seated at the seats, and the twelve of us, including Oli and the apprentice, were all present.


''Itadakimasu,''
Thank you!


　Amy next to Tsutomu's voice reacts to his voice, and the others thank him in unison before taking the food from the platter with their forks. Garum and Daryl started with the large amount of spaghetti, while Amy went with the fish dish. Diniel and Hannah are reaching for lighter appetizers and other dishes.


'Yummy!'


　Amy's favorite fish dish and even a dessert to go with her sweet tooth, Garum. When Tsutomu was inwardly surprised at Oli's work, wondering when he had checked, Amy, sitting next to him, looked into his face.


'All my favourites!　Could it be that Tsutomu prepared it for you~?
No, I don't.
'Yes. Mr. Tsutomu had informed me beforehand of Amy's favorite food, so I prepared it for you.
'I knew it!　Thanks, Tsutomu!　It's so good!


　Amy said and then proceeded to crunch down on the seared fish. She only smiled back when she looked at Oli, who interrupted her and she only smiled back, so Tsutomu put his fork down and drank his water in surrender.

　The conversation then proceeded to focus on Amy and Garum until the meal was settled. There was a lot of conversation between the five of them, especially since Hannah, Corina, and Zeno were chatty.


'You've got cream on your nose,'
I'm sorry.


　Then most of the food on the platter was gone, and when Garum was putting the contents of the puff pastry on the tip of his nose. Amy looked up at Tsutomu after rubbing her belly in satisfaction.


''Hey. You're going to the dungeon this afternoon, right?　I want to go with Tsutomu!
'Yes. In the meantime, we're going to take Amy and Garum with us today, for sure.
Yes!


　Tsutomu has seen Garum and Amy forming a PT with their guild and diving into dungeons on several occasions. However, it's been a long time since they've actually formed a PT, so they want to match their movements.


''The rest of the members are........''
'Yes!　I want Dini!
Diniel is out.
What?　Why!
'No, because it's going to work. I know that, so I'll take someone else with me. Oh, and no Daryl for the same reason.
What?


　Daryl, who hadn't seen Garum recently for some reason, showed a sinking look at Tsutomu's words before he thought he could form a PT after a long time. The only thing that could make this happen is that Hanna stood tall and tapped him on the shoulder.

　Then Garum looks at Hanna and then turns back to Tsutomu.


'Tsutomu. I'd like to play PT with an avoidance tank once.
'I see. So we'll take Hannah for the tank?
Oh, hey. Daryl. Sorry.
No, it's fine...


　He said to Hannah, who looked awkward before encouraging Daryl, as he raised himself up. But the fact that his tail is lowered more than ever, it's clear that the tension is dropping.


'As for the attacker, hmm. I think I'll go with Leleia. I've got a few things to try myself.
Yes, sir.


　Leleia, who has long green hair tied up, nodded. Tsutomu and her standing with the spirit contract has become much more refined and moderately good in these two months. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.


The other people will be able to take a break as usual.
Yes.....
Don't sink so low.
Pathetic.
Aren't you two terrible!


　When Tsutomu and Garm folded up, Daryl reflexively packed up. But Garum persuaded him effortlessly, and Daryl began to help clean up the dishes with tears in his eyes.
