205-Flame Attack




 Tsutomu, who was on his way back to the Clan House with his second army PT, called out to Hannah on the way.


''What's a Flame Attack?''
''Hmph. Master! I guess the day has come for me to become the master of the Demon Fist!


 Hannah, who had exploded into a grand explosion, shouting the name of a skill she had never heard of, was laughing suspiciously with her large chest. Then Tsutomu took his gaze off Hannah, who was waiting for her next words now or later, and looked at Leleia and Amira.


''You two did a good job of making use of the spirit contract. Keep it up, please.''
Tsutomu. What the hell did you put into this guy's head?
'I didn't say much. I'm just checking.
Don't fool me, man. Why is this guy being so f*cking cooperative?


 Amira, who was hazed, seemed not to like it and crowded to Tsutomu and put her arm on his shoulder to force him to answer. The gaze of Leleia, who is watching the two of them in such close proximity, is becoming colder and colder.


''Why don't you step away for a moment?''
'Master! Ignorance is a terrible thing!


 Then Tsutomu went back to the clan house, treating Leleia and Hannah who were complaining about it.

 Afterwards, the second army PT was given a review meeting, and Tsutomu went out alone again. Today's primary purpose was to watch the Second Army PT's battle against the Winter General, but there was something else he wanted to see. That was the state of the Light and Dark Hierarchy, where Aldoret Crow was currently hiding.


(The monsters themselves haven't changed that much. I guess I'm going to want a magic system for the rest.)


 Even if you look at the monsters, "Live Dungeon! It's not that different from the other two, which is largely to be expected. It's a good idea to have a magical job in this light and dark hierarchy because there are ghost monsters.

 And since there were times when it was completely dark in the dungeon, a light source of light is probably a must. Besides, monsters sometimes behave in a way that they didn't in the game, so Tsutomu was observing Aldrete Crow while staring at the first table.


(After all, Aldrete Crow is a blowout.)


 In a change from the situation that was clogged with sixty levels of fire dragons, Aldrete Crow was now recognized as a major clan that was on the front lines. It was just the major clan that had poured the most people and funds into it, so Tsutomu had expected the result.

 Most of what had been called major clans up until now were clans that focused on having unique skills. However, as the roles of the three types of clans spread, the unique skill holders' successes had died down. It would be stronger in a divine dungeon if there were five people who could perform the roles rather than a single rider. Tsutomu knew that.


(I wonder if Silver Beast still feels like he's preparing for a lot of things...)


 The Silver Beast, which was competing with such Aldoret Crow in the Snowfield Hierarchy, is now gaining a foothold to become a major clan since their clan system was originally medium-sized. And it was originally intended to collect funds to accept orphans, and now that it's being torn up by a large amount of money and various speculations by the Ice Demon Stones, it's no longer a dungeon strategy. So as a clan, they seemed to have stagnated.


(Gold and Red Demon Clan, well, it's okay. They won't be able to catch up with us anytime soon)


 The two major clans with unique skillfulness in their ranks don't have to worry about it, as there is no sign of them breaking through the Winter General yet. However, these two clans aren't being left behind quietly either. Especially Leon and Weiss, who have unique skills, seem to be practicing standing around as avoidance tanks just like Hannah at the moment.

 But if the two people who were at the center of the clan change, the people around them will inevitably have to adapt to them. Therefore, it will be some time before they take shape as a single PT.


(For now, as long as we're in the position we're in, it's not a problem. We'll have to wait and see what happens after we see the Ninety Level Lord.)


 Tsutomu planned to let Aldoret Crow precede him until the 90th level in order to capture the 100th level first. How much 'Live Dungeon!' Even though I have some prior knowledge of the first 100 levels of the game, it is difficult to capture the first 100 levels of the game without the knowledge specific to this world. Therefore, he had to let some clan take the lead in exploring the dungeon.

 Besides, Tsutomu didn't want to die as much as possible, so he had to break through the first level of the dungeon when he was unable to retreat from the dungeon. In order to do so, they needed to prepare for the battle, so it was essential that some of the PTs fought the hierarchical lords first and watched them to prepare for the battle.

 In fact, the Mount Golem of the Seventyth Level Lord and the Winter General of the Eightyth Level Lord might not be able to break through for the first time if they couldn't prepare in advance on the Shentai. Therefore, the Ninth Level Lord was also planning to have Aldoret Crow fight them first and challenge them after completing the prep work.


(It wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't something unique to this world added to it, but... it would be difficult.)


 The behavior of the monsters we've observed so far, and the nature of the black flames released by the black dragon. The criminally deliciousness of the shell club and other "Live Dungeon! We have already confirmed a number of things that were not in the So there might be something in the Ninety Level Lord, so we can only judge it by looking at Aldoret Crow's battle scene first.

 But this time, the Ninety Level Lord will break through before Aldoret Crow. And as for the 100th level, he didn't even prepare for it in Shentai and planned to fight it outright. Although Tsutomu didn't want to die, he was still afraid of the 100th level if he didn't capture it first. For the sake of the clue to the original world, he had to take a risk there.


(I'm sure there's something in the Hundred Levels... but what if there isn't?)


 The first place I was sent to after coming to this world was the Forgotten Ancient City where the Hundredth Level Lord's Blazing Old Dragon lives. Therefore, if you go over the hundred levels, Tsutomu thinks that something will happen, but there is no guarantee. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to the back dungeon, or maybe you won't even be able to return to the original world in the first place.


(If nothing else..... What would I do? I'll just move in permanently...........or not)


 This world is very comfortable for Tsutomu. "Live Dungeon! It's compliant, so you can divert various knowledge, dungeon exploration is really fun, and the friends you can rely on are no longer just Amy, Garum and Camille.

 But this world is too comfortable. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. To avoid looking completely real is a "Live Dungeon! This was something that he couldn't do even when he was addicted to

 Tsutomu was forced to think about the prospects ahead as he finally advanced to the eighty-one level. It was all he could think about these days. Of course, it doesn't come to mind much when I'm exploring dungeons or talking with clan members. But when I'm alone, that's all I can think about.

 In this world, Tsutomu is the only one who knows the reality of his life. This is the only way to get rid of it, but if he told anyone about it, he felt he would never return. So when Camille had lightly probed him before, Tsutomu had refused to do so.


(Also, nineteen levels........)


 Tsutomu muttered in his mind and looked at the divine platform where Aldoret Crow's army of PTs was reflected alone.


 oo


 The first and second armies of the Infinite Circle both crossed the eighty levels and were able to dive into the Light and Dark hierarchy. After that, the first and second armies would disband and they were free to form a PT to advance until they reached the ninety levels. However, if there was a mid-boss monster that was difficult to break through, like the Borseyeur, Tsutomu would give instructions again.


"Tsutomu. Let's team up.


 When I told this to Tsutomu before dinner, the first thing I noticed was that Amira approached him. Her bright red hair is thinly luminescent, and she has probably turned into a dragon. Behind her, Leleia also came from behind her, carrying a gnome that looked like a girl.


''Tsutomu-san. The spirits want to sign a contract as well, so let me join you.


 Tsutomu couldn't help but return a vague smile to Leleia, who was gingerly pushing the gnome, who was holding her hands out in front of her, demanding a hug. However, after all, the two of them were only two forces last time, so their appeal was strong.


''Master! You want to see my Flame Attack up close and personal, don't you?
Mr. Tsutomu. Would you like to make a pact with me, too?
''Oh, well then, we'll do that tomorrow. Then, will Corina work with the last one's army tomorrow?
'Oh, yes! I understand.


 Corina, who had looked slightly sad at the former second clan member who was flocking to Tsutomu, jumped up on her shoulders at the words. Then, with a sunken face, she took a bite of the cheese doria for dinner that was brought to her, and she looked huffy and happy.

 Amy, who was trying to cheer up Corina, who looked sunken after seeing the former two troops, chuckled at her. Then a spoon with a scoop of cheese doria was held out in front of Amy.


'Ahhhh,'
"...Dini-chan. I think this is probably hot.
Whew.


 Apparently, Diniel thought Amy was paying attention to Corina, mistaking her attention to Corina as wanting a cheese doria, and Diniel was clever. Huffing and puffing, Diniel held out the spoon again.

 It would still be obviously hot inside, Amy thought, but after making eye contact with Diniel, she had no choice but to take a bite.


A great treat!
I knew it.
I knew it!


 And Amy, who had a cat's tongue, was writhing in agony, as expected, and Diniel was drinking water with a clear face. Finally swallowing the cheese doria that was wreaking havoc in her mouth, Amy poked Diniel's shoulder angrily.


'Looks like you're going to get a sponsor, Daryl. Good for you, isn't it?
I don't know. The more that guy stands out, the more he's going to shrivel up. Is there a problem?
'Oh, Daryl, we didn't let you act in the first place. His fresh reaction is one of the things that makes him so popular. If anything, it will be a problem when he gets used to that reaction.


 In the meantime, Garum and Zeno are discussing Daryl. At the moment, Daryl was being mentored by both, trying to take over Garum's ability and Zeno's popularity. And that coaching has paid off, and lately he's been gaining more and more popularity in addition to his abilities. The proof of this was the recent formation of a fan club, which was becoming more and more influential.


'It seems that the color change of Combat Cry is still effective. Even if that's all you do, they'll see you as an individual now. Wouldn't it be nice if Garum did too?
I don't like that stuff.
'You have a lot to learn from your apprentice, don't you?


 Zeno, who had an amused look on his face as Garum crossed his arms and wrinkled his brow, continued to discuss the matter over dinner afterwards.

 And while the dinner was settled and each of us was having a leisurely time, Tsutomu was reading the newspaper while carrying a gnome on his back who was playing with him at every opportunity. When Tsutomu was wondering why his hair was so fluffy and dry, he was approached from behind.


Tsutomu said from behind me, "Mr. Tsutomu. May I have a word with you?


 Then Oli, who had finished cleaning up dinner, asked him with a letter in one hand. Tsutomu responded with a slight frown as he looked at the formal patterned seal stamped on the letter.
