..........
Don't get upset.
No, I don't care about that.


　Amy was a little unhappy when she saw Diniel crucifying Tsutomu's arms on the balcony of the royal castle yesterday, and she was somewhat confided in. The next day the relationship between the two was still a little awkward, but Diniel didn't seem to mind because he could see that Amy wasn't that angry.


''Alright, let's go home then.


　When they were done with their business at the castle, Tsutomu and his friends were allowed to return to the Maze City. A carriage has already been arranged from the castle, and the searchers get into their respective carriages.


''We'll be back in a month. Until then, Cecilia, take care of the Red Demons.
Okay.


　Weiss was going to remain in King's Landing for a month because he had to become a force to suppress Mina, who was still capturing her. It seems that Mina is currently undergoing a physical examination at the research institute in King's Landing to find out how she was controlling the monster.

　It is known that the spidery looking monster that Mina was hiding with her scarf is now living as a parasite on her neck as if it were part of her body. Mina said she was using this parasite to manipulate the insect monster, and although the shape of the monster is different, it has been confirmed on Orbis's corpse that it is attached to his neck.

　Also, the hidden base of Orbis's cult had also been located according to Mina's testimony, where she was forced to have a parasite placed around her neck as an ordeal for Orbis. In addition to Mina, other members of the Orbis faith were said to have undergone the ordeal, but they all died because they couldn't bear it. Eventually that hidden base will be investigated and more information will be obtained.

　As for the Stampede, the capital also wanted to hide the existence of Orbis, but there were already many witnesses. They couldn't hide it, and word of Orbis's existence spread throughout the city through word of mouth and in the newspapers. However, the mention of the royal family didn't become as strong as it should have, so from the point of view of the royal capital, it's hard to say.


''That's a huge number...''


　Tsutomu muttered that in front of the carriage bound for the labyrinth city, and looked around with slightly sleepy eyes. Some royalty and nobles had entered the divine dungeon to level up, and about a few thousand people, including knights and servants, were installing and inspecting the carriage around the road leading to the labyrinth city.

　In addition, the king announced in a big way that explorers are welcome in the royal city, and the terms and conditions for hiring them were already posted in the royal castle. And in order to get the dream job in the royal city, various royal city residents are also preparing to head to the labyrinth city to rise to the occasion. In total, there were probably more than tens of thousands of them.


''It's going to be a traffic jam...''


　There is a possibility that monsters may appear along the way, so the searchers will lead the way, but even so, the number of carriages is very large and the road is not that wide, so there is no doubt that there will be a traffic jam. Tsutomu got into the carriage at the end with a cumbersome look on his face, and immediately the gyoja began to walk the horses.


''..........''
..........
That's a nice diss.


　Diniel is reading a book, not paying attention to Amy, who is deliberately turning away from him. Corina is also smiling at the two people who are visibly disagreeing with each other. Tsutomu averted his gaze from those two and met eyes with Hannah, who was squirming next to him.


''Ah, Master. I'm sorry about yesterday. I don't remember any of it, but Corina told me a lot of things about it.
I'll send word to Hannah to drink but not be drunk.


　However, since that wine was easy to drink but high in alcohol content, I felt it was no wonder that Hannah was drunk. By the way, Amira also boasted that she was a strong drinker, but you can't tell when she is Camille's daughter. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

　Hanna looked impressed by Tsutomu's words, but then she bowed her head again with a serious face.


''Also........I'm sorry for everything this time.
'A lot?　The fact that you challenged me, the fact that you challenged me, the fact that you used your demonic fist out there, the fact that you rushed through it with only your emotions, the fact that you were so easily fooled... what else is there to do?
Ugghhhh....
'But you don't have to worry about me just because I'm a clan member. Diniel never hides in dungeons on his days off, Amira lets me practice with her even on her days off, Xeno's wife is picky about his wife, Amy never takes a day off, and Galum, Daryl, and Corrina all do what they want. So it doesn't matter what they do, as long as it's not too much. And Hannah wasn't the only one who wanted to save the people, either.


　I'm sure Garum, Daryl, Xeno, Corina, and others would have felt inwardly about that. They just had the reasoning to be able to discipline it. Tsutomu looked at Daryl and Corina, then put his hand on Hannah's relieved head.


'It's just that Hannah moves too quickly with her emotions, and that's too much. You just need to be sorry for that and the rest will be fine. Hey, Leleia?
?"?
''I'm not sure why you called me there, but it's fine.


　Suddenly Leleia's name was mentioned and Hanna looked like she didn't understand, while Tsutomu smacked her on the head and made her do what he did. And then Leia said that while glaring at Tsutomu with a blatantly disgusted face, and crisply scratched the green scales on his neck.


''Alright.''
Yeah. Well, I'll just sleep in the back. I didn't get much sleep last night. You can wake me up if you need anything else.


　Tsutomu moved to where his luggage was placed with one missing stroke and lay down in a slightly larger space. He hadn't been able to sleep much yesterday, thinking about what he would do when he got back to the labyrinth city, so today he was sleepy anyway.

　Then Tsutomu wrapped a towel around his eyes to darken his vision, turned his head to the side so that he wouldn't be able to see his sleeping face, and went to sleep.


　oooh.


Isn't that a little different, Tsutomu?


　With Tsutomu, who was sleeping peacefully, beside her, Amy said to cut the conversation short. The newcomers such as Zeno, Leleia, and Corina looked like they didn't seem to be on the same page with those words. But Garum, who had known them the longest, twitched his eyebrows without saying anything, while Daryl, Hannah, Amira and the others looked like they were thinking. Diniel concentrates on reading.


'Right. I think the mood has softened somewhat since the Stampede ended.
''Well, that's for sure. In the first place, if Daryl asked me to have dinner with him, I would have refused if I was in the labyrinth city.


　Garum had already heard from Daryl that he had invited Tsutomu to dinner on his day off, to the point where it was troublesome for him to hear about it. Garum honestly couldn't imagine Tsutomu devoting his holiday to anything other than just God's dungeon.


''What, that master is having dinner with Daryl?　Are we alone?
The reason I joined this clan in the first place is because Garum-san introduced me to the clan. So I said that I would like to treat them to a meal to thank them for their kindness. Then Tsutomu-san said he understood.
Oh, wow.


　Hannah sounded impressed, then glanced at Amy. Because Hannah had overheard Amy blurting out that Tsutomu wouldn't go out with her on her day off.

　And Amy, sensing the gaze, smiled a little powerfully and moved to jump next to Hannah, who was free. Hannah guffawed at Amy as she approached like a real cat.


'You look like you want to say something. Don't hesitate to say something?
I mean, no?　It's nothing, okay?
'Huh?　You thought the best idol in the labyrinth city was going to be beaten by Daryl the man... or something like that anyway!　I'll only take your place when Tsutomu pats me on the floor!
'Gee!　Not the wings!


　The blue wings on her back were touched and Hannah was flapping around, giggling and screaming. Diniel, who was sitting across from her, sighed and put a bookmark between them before closing the book.


'Amy has a knot in her stomach that she enjoys chasing after Tsutomu, so she has no right to complain. So she has no right to complain.
''Well, that could certainly be the case. Honestly, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't flirt with me that early on.
I'm not sure I should be the one to tell you that.
Shut up!
Geez!


　Amy is so famous that few people in the labyrinth city don't know about her. However, Tsutomu hadn't been special to Amy from the beginning and looked at her as if she were a bug when he had unintentionally called her a lucky person in the Shell Club game. And if she hadn't apologized, she would have been removed from the PT without a doubt. That's how cold the eyes were.

　Amy had never been dealt with so coldly before in her life, and part of the reason why she was interested in pursuing him was because Tsutomu was looking at her like that.


'But Dini-chan, you said you were going to support me, but what the hell was that thing yesterday!
That was Tutom's fault. He made me angry.
What!　You've never been mad at me either!


　With that said, Amy quickly returned to her seat and began popping Diniel on the shoulder. Even the Guru who was moving the horse in the carriage, which had begun to become quite sluggish, had a quizzical look on his face.


'........But I made some progress with Tsutomu in the royal capital!　Tsutomu, he patted me on the head.　He even touched my ears!


　And perhaps in order to somehow keep the face-to-face meeting of the idol of the labyrinth city, Amy began to desperately insist that the rapport had progressed, even with tears in her eyes. Most of us look at Amy like she's looking at a disappointed child.

　Amira, who had just been listening to the conversation with her elbows in boredom, grinned as if she had an idea. That smile is just like Camille's.


'Well, I was forced to get physical with Tsutomu, though.


　Amira's bombshell statement caused the air in the carriage to thin out and become quiet. Only Corina, who had been going out on holidays with him a lot lately, saw through the lie and gave him a white eye, but the rest of the clan members were a hue.

　Hannah snorted and urged them to continue their conversation, while Daryl's face turned red. Garum and Corina looked somewhat dumbfounded, and Xeno reacted wow and American. And Amy, who had managed to stay face to face, was like a shell with her soul missing.


'What do you mean?'
Thank you very much, as I said.　I asked him to come up to my room, gave him a little shove, and he came right on board. You've accumulated a lot of stuff.


　Amira turned a challenging gaze at Leleia who rushed in with her sharp eyes. Where did Leleia's usual cool expression go, she stared at the luggage table with a jealous face.


''Amira-san. You can't lie.''
I'm not gonna lie to you.　If you want, you can ask Tsutomu if you want.
"...what?　Is it true?


　Corrina also looked a little puzzled by Amira's unexpectedly strong attitude. Amy's face, like her white hair, had turned completely white, and if the wind blew, she would likely fly away somewhere. In front of Amy's eyes, Diniel is waving his hand as if to check her consciousness.


''I'm going to go check it out,''
'Hey, Leleia. Don't let that kind of thing wake up Tutu.
She said I could wake her up if I needed anything.
'Wait. He did say that, but that would be in case of an emergency with monsters and such. Calm down a bit.
'This would be worth waking up for. The clan leader made a move on a clan member. That's also the principle that Tsutomu forbids romance within the clan. I'm not saying you should never do it, but there should be accountability.
'Now Amira is the same as when Ms. Camille is joking around. So it would be a mild prank.


　As Garum managed to stop Leleia, whose eyes were completely set on him, Amira snorted in amusement.


''Ha, that was fierce in your habit of looking like an adult.
Move aside, Garm. We need to question Tsutomu.
Armira, come on.
Ahhhh.
Amy's broken. Corrina, recover.
You can't heal a wounded mind...
It was intense...
I'm surprised you have such a strong s*x drive...
'Hahaha!　Everyone seems to be having fun!


　Inside the carriage, which is becoming more and more chaotic, Tsutomu is sleeping in the back of the cart. After Oli looked at those clan members from the Goshija-dai with a smile, he returned his gaze to the front. And the carriage itself was aiming at the labyrinth city quite peacefully.
