Are you sure you want to do that?
Do you mind?


　Tsutomu returns to Oli, who told him to be concerned while leaving the hospital, with a hardened expression on his face.


(...........not that I was helped.)


　But even if the result wasn't achieved, it's still true that Eunice risked her life to come to the rescue. So, for that reason, Tsutomu thought he would at least say something to her about that, so he first threw out an agitated word as usual.

　A normal Eunice would say it back instantly. And I was prepared to say something about coming to help in the course of the conversation, but Eunice didn't take advantage of the agitation by reading the newspaper. It was obvious that Eunice was doing this on purpose, partly because the newspaper he was holding was upside down.

　And when he didn't say anything back, Tsutomu couldn't find the right words to say next, so he walked away from the hospital room, thinking that it wasn't something to thank him for in the first place. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.


''I see.''
Didn't we have to tailor our clothes next?
Yes. Let me show you around.


　To a slightly chuckling Oli, Tsutomu shook his head as if in contemplation and then told him to drop the subject. Then Oli didn't have anything more to say either, but held out his hand and led Tsutomu away. And his guards, Daryl and Diniel, followed behind him.


''Hannah, how are you doing?''
The doctor says I'm going to be released tomorrow.
'Oh, you're early!　Good!
It's become a better medicine for a little more pain.


　Tsutomu chuckled at the contrasting reactions of the two, then followed Oli as he walked ahead. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.


''Oli-san, how could you gather information in such a situation?


　Tsutomu squinted as he looked at the devastation of the shopping district that was being destroyed by the monsters, and Oli looked around as he walked with good posture.


''I had a good grasp on the topography of the royal capital, and as long as you're following me, I'll have to work. Otherwise, if it happens again, Tsutomu-san will leave me behind this time, won't he?
Well, I suppose you could say that.
'I'm sure you do. So I hope I've been of some help.


　Nevertheless, checking the status of the battle without being swept away by people in the midst of a monster's appearance in the city and not evacuated, at least not by the Clan's housekeeping and accounting staff. I'm sorry to say that too, but no one would think that Oli, who looks like a woman out there, would have that kind of ability.

　You can't judge a person by their looks, Tsutomu thought again, looking at the rubble-strewn church. Outside the collapsed church, believers are gathered outside the church, as if clinging to God or something, kneeling still and motionless as if in prayer.

　On the other side of the church is a vendor selling hot soup in a crude stall that he must have managed to fix up overnight. The stall didn't look very good, but the food was business as usual, and a stomach-turning smell wafted from the slightly dented skull.


'Want some?'
Well, would you mind if I took it?
Hi. Where are Daryl and Diniel?
I want it!
I'm good.
So long, Uncle. Three, please.
Yes!


　Although there were miraculously no casualties, the shock of the monster's appearance in the royal city still binds the people. However, even under such circumstances, Tsutomu was still very fond of the mercurial uncle, so he bought three soup plates. Tsutomu grabs a few gold coins, worth 1,500 g, and hands them to the uncle, who scoops them up with a ladle.

　He scooped up a ladle of soup from a small container and immediately put it into a bowl. Tsutomu takes three of them, turning them behind him, and looks at the steamy soup while picking up the provided spoon.

　Stirring it up a bit with the spoon, it seems to contain several vegetables that have been carefully chamfered to prevent them from collapsing in shape, and chunks of meat that have been cooked until they are melted.


'More!'
Not even ten seconds ago...


　And by the time Tsutomu was about to speak, Daryl had already asked for a second helping. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a good time with this.

　After that, Daryl, who was still eating good and tasting five cups of soup, may have been influenced by Daryl, but the number of customers in the stall increased here and there. In the meantime, Diniel seemed to have bought some cotton candy from another stall and was waiting for the three of them as he chewed on it.


''Uncle!　It was delicious!
Oh, you know what?　Every time!


　With Daryl in tow, who had thanked his uncle, Tsutomu and the others headed to the tailor's shop that Oli had talked to beforehand. The more they walked from the outside of the downtown-like royal capital to the center of the city, the lighter the damage became.

　And by the time Diniel had finished his cotton candy, he arrived at the tailor's shop.


''Well it's kind of hard to get into,''


　Tsutomu's impression of the tailor's shop was that it looked very expensive and difficult to enter. The interior, visible from the outside, is bathed in warm light and has several neatly arranged clothes. As Oli walked unhindered to one of the most famous shops in the central part of the royal capital where the wealthy gather, Tsutomu and Daryl quietly followed him.


''Welcome!''
Wow.


　Tsutomu was surprised to find a doorman in the shop, and he coyly bowed and entered the tailor's shop. Then he greeted the smiling clerk with a smile that made me feel unintentionally attracted to him and through Oli, and was immediately escorted into the back room to begin taking measurements.


''Yes, sir. This will be the last one here.''
Hi.


　Tsutomu and Diniel finished quickly and without any problems, but Daryl's measurements were taking a little longer.


'The tail, may I touch it?'
'Ha, yes. Hi!
'I'm sorry. It's just a little patience...


　There was a questionable voice in the measurement room, and Oli looked as if he had just put it away. And he glared at Daryl, whose face was swollen with exhaustion, and at the shopkeeper, who was smiling. Apparently the shopkeeper seemed to be an acquaintance of Oli's, and as soon as she glared at him, he chuckled and put his face to his ear.


''A labyrinth city sounds great. Maybe I should go there too.
Please don't come.


　Oli kicked off such whispers from the shopkeeper, and the still red-faced Daryl came up behind Tsutomu to hide. However, since Daryl's body was larger than his, the composition was much more unnatural.

　Although it took a waste of time regarding the measurements, the choice of clothing afterwards was left to Oli and the shopkeeper for all three of them, so it went easily. The other clan members seemed to have already taken their measurements as well, so Tsutomu checked with Oli before paying the bill.


Well, I'll pay for the 11 in advance.
Thank you.


　With that said, Tsutomu picked up a couple of specially shaped gold coins worth 10 million g's worth of rarely used gold coins and handed them to the clerk. It's a large amount of money in this world, and if an ordinary person got their hands on that gold coin, it would be worth a rush.

　But although Tsutomu was scared of this store like a country bumpkin, he was rather cursory in his handling of the gold coins. This is mainly because Tsutomu sees the gold in this world as the currency in the game to begin with.

　In-game currency would be tens of millions of Gs, but when you go to the back dungeons, the currency itself changes, so Tsutomu doesn't see the value of Gs in itself. Therefore, he didn't have a problem with the cost of tailoring his clothes, even if it cost tens of millions of G.

　Although he reacted like a poor man who was overwhelmed by the store, Tsutomu paid tens of millions of dollars without any hesitation, and the clerk confirmed the bill without any change in his expression, although he had a slight change in his perception. But while the clerk was checking the gold coins, Daryl tugged on Tsutomu's back with his fingertips.


It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them. Would you like me to serve it, too?


　Daryl froze unconsciously when he saw the shape of the gold coin that Tsutomu held out, and he stuck his hand into his magic bag as he pulled back. Daryl looked a little funny, looking a little smaller than usual, and Tsutomu waved his hand with a smile.


'Okay, this is like a clan expense. Spend the money on yourself. Why don't you go on a tour of the high-class shops in the labyrinth city next time?
'Oh, I see........ Ah!　Would you like to go with me sometime?　I'll buy you a drink!
'Then you should go with Oli. Just to say thank you for your daily work.


　When Tsutomu said that, Oli gave a slightly choking cough. But Daryl's reaction was not so good.


It's a good thing I'm grateful to Oli, of course, but the reason I joined this clan in the first place is because of Garum-san and Tsutomu-san, isn't it? The three of us will go out to eat something delicious next time to show our appreciation.
'Ummm...'


　Tsutomu is usually busy with divine dungeon-related things on his two days off when he doesn't dive the divine dungeon. He's a very good friend of mine. He's a very good friend of mine, and he enjoys watching other PT's activities on the table.

　So much so that on his days off, Tsutomu still hasn't kept his promise to hang out with Amy for half a day, and he is always doing God's Dungeon related things. So he wasn't too keen on Daryl's invitation.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be a good fit, but I'm not going to be able to say no to Daryl, who seems to be afraid of being rejected right in front of me. Tsutomu is not used to being asked out by a subordinate because he does not have the experience of having someone like a junior colleague.


''Okay..... Well then, after I return to the labyrinth city.
!


　As soon as he heard that reply, his eyes widened and he began to buzz and wag his black tail, Tsutomu looked away from his face as if he was just a little scared. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ''Live Dungeon!'' Then the many invitations from the female avatars were starry-eyed, but most of them are old men, so they don't count in Tsutomu's mind.


(d*mn)


　Since the time he saved Eunice with Undine, Tsutomu felt that his emotions had become more blurred, apparently. Even if you thought Eunice was going to die in the first place, it's also embarrassing to have screamed like that. It shouldn't be like this.


''We've checked this way. No problem.''
Oh, yes. Well then, nice to meet you.


　Tsutomu returned his words to the shopkeeper after meditating on the switch and left the shop with Diniel and Oli, who was gunning for Daryl's wagging tail and a smiling look on his face.
