257-Cat and dog




 In front of Garum, who was guided by the guild staff after asking where Camille was, Amy, who had her white tail upside down, was also there for some reason. When I frowned as I realized the situation, I saw that she was also squinting her eyes in disgust.


Why are you here?
That's my line.
Well, Garm, sit here. I hope you and your fellow sufferers can get along.


 I was reluctant to sit down as Camille, who has been a big help to me for a long time, invited me to sit down, and Amy pointed at me, a little surprised.


'What? Does that mean this guy is too?
'Garum came to me today to ask me for advice on the same sort of thing. It's a pity that Amy thought it was about love, but it's just as well. Why don't we have an exchange of ideas?


 Camille was smiling with her hands crossed and her chin on top of her chin, and both of them looked like children with food they didn't like in front of them. And looking at the two unwilling to discuss it, Camille gave one sigh and turned to Garm, who was to her left.


'But I can still understand Amy, but is Garum that much to worry about? At least we'll be able to beat that man Xeno and his apprentice, Daryl, though.
'....That's what Tsutomu told me. He told me that I didn't need to be in that much of a hurry, and he worked with me to figure out the direction I wanted to go in.
What? Then that's good! That's an extravagant affair!
Shut up.


 Staring at Amy as she said bitingly, Garm looked at Camille with an annoyed eyebrow flexing.


'I'm content. I have no complaints about following Tsutomu, and I'm happy to aim in the direction he has in mind. Perhaps if I do so, I will definitely be able to become a part of the army. Tsutomu has given me such detailed instructions and encouragement that I can say with certainty that I will be a part of it.


 Garum had discussed this with Tsutomu before, and he had given him a clear indication of his direction and what he needed to do. And 'Live Dungeon!' The path shown by Tsutomu, who had information about the divine dungeons to the knowledge of the God's dungeons, could be said to be the best.

 Although it may be due to the nature of his race as a dog person, Garum is even rather happy to follow the instructions of his approved leader. So he wasn't dissatisfied with moving towards the direction Tsutomu had indicated, and he was satisfied with its content.


''But I don't think it's good for Tsutomu. It's probably not good for the Clan if I'm going to be in Tsutomu's care forever. It would be seen by the clan members as Tsutomu favoring me.


 But he was concerned about whether it would benefit Tsutomu. He knew that Tsutomu would have special good feelings for those who had been involved in the early days, or in the infinite circle, for himself and Amy. There was a time when he couldn't make a good PT due to his position as a lucky guy, and Tsutomu was lenient with those who were involved at the time.

 He had already taken care of himself many times, and even Amira, who was a problematic child at the time, was brought into the infinite circle because she was Camille's daughter. I've been going to the forest apothecary despite the fact that it's out of stock, and Silverbeast seems to be paying a lot of attention to it.

 But Garum wasn't sure if he should continue to take advantage of that. Garum was certainly the first to call out to Tsutomu. But it wasn't entirely with good intentions, and it was because he sold the black cane that came out of the gold treasure chest that he approached her as a guild employee. That's why I had the audacity to indulge in the kindness of Tsutomu, who was especially fond of me.

 The fact is, even that carefree Daryl, who was so carefree, decided on his own path after he joined the infinite circle. You can't afford to lose to such an apprentice.


''That's why I also want to make my own way without relying on Tutom.
I'm very confident, sir.


 Just to that declaration, Amy replied with eyes as sharp as blades. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.


It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been favored by the people. You can use that favoritism to your advantage. It's not a bad thing. I just don't do it.
'Huh! I wouldn't either! I mean, Tutom isn't that sweet! If you try to approach me with the intention of using me, he will cut you off easily!
''Well I don't know. In the old days Tutom would certainly have done that, but I don't know now.


 When I said that, Amy blatantly contorted her face and pointed at me with a ridiculous look on her face.


'Wow, you don't get it, this guy. Well, you, Tutum, how can you be a tank in the army, One! You can still be safe because you cried out to him, but if you cried out to him about your favoritism, Tsutomu would definitely see through it and cut you off. Even if we did, we would have to do the same thing you did.
Are you trying to tell me that I'm flirting with Tutu?
That's true. Asking Tsutomu directly to decide on an army is just an attempt. You talked so much about how you're trying to flirt with me, and now you're waving your tail at me and helping me out! That's right. Good status.


 Garum, carried away by Amy's agitated words, turned his biting eyes with a blue streak on his forehead. And immediately he blurted out what he was thinking too.


''Well you are the one who seemed to be having fun singing in the royal capital for all the talk about the army? You've been telling people you were doing this for the sake of Tsutomu, but you don't understand. You know that Tutumi is not interested in King's Landing at all, and if you wanted to join the PT, you would hone your skills. And if you wanted to join the Army PT, you would have honed your skills. But you didn't do it! You just couldn't resist your own self-aggrandizement, even in King's Landing!


 That being said, Amy's eyes completely transformed into an almond shape like a cat's, and she was in the mood to pull out the twin swords at her waist anytime soon.


''........What? Don't be silly.
I think you're the one who's missing the point.
Well, relax.


 The atmosphere was becoming more and more swift and swift, and Camille forced their heads down. They were about to get up from their seats at any moment, but their hands held them down and forced them to stay on their feet. Even the guild staff who were approaching to stop the fight like in the past were controlled by their eyes.

 And Camille sighed grandly as they looked angry at each other for being hit in a sore spot.


''Garum. Amy, like you, thinks it's not a good idea to rely on Tutom to help you out. That's why he came all the way to talk to me about it. You should understand that part.
..........
Hey, you're in trouble!
Amy, too! Come on!
Whew!
'You guys really don't get along at all. I thought things had gotten a little better since you joined the Infinite Circle.
..........


 Amy was writhing in pain as she was chopped between her cat ears, and Garm looked like she was being told to wait as her master held her head down. Camille looked at them with a troubled look on her face and then tapped the desk lightly.


'You two may not get along, but you've developed a common goal. You don't want to be dependent on Tsutomu, and you want to be part of the Infinite Circle. And you are attackers and tanks. If we don't work together, we won't win an army.
But I was with him at the Winter General.
'Didn't that battle against the Winter General make Amy uneasy? And so would Garum.
..........


 Amy felt threatened by the two dragon attackers chasing her up from below, and Garum felt threatened by Xeno, who was in the same PT.

 At the end of the Winter General battle, Garum was hit and nearly died when he was at the limit of what he could put in by reducing his strength. And then he was covered by Xeno, who always fought to maintain a constant level of strength.

 After seeing the Mounted Golem battle, Garum looked down on Xeno, albeit subconsciously. He even thought that he would never be able to match even Daryl. But the current Xeno was clearly different. He's quickly increased his pain tolerance, which was a shortcoming, and he's become as stable as Daryl.

 And unlike himself, he also showed a glimpse of a spirit that made his presence felt in the PT and never broke. This was evident during the Winter General battle, and that's why Garum became rival to Zeno.

 I don't need to tell you about Hannah, she's been a threat from the beginning. She's been able to stand up to him as an evasive tank, something she can't do, and she's also mastered the technique of the Fist of Demonryu, albeit poorly. There was a bit of a lack of thought, but after the stampede was over, he seemed a bit more solid.


''Didn't Tsutomu say it wasn't like we were going to be good friends in any way? And PT is not determined by individual strength alone. If you attackers and tanks cooperate with each other, the PT will become more powerful. If you work together, you become more powerful.
You know, it's so boring to put that in the important places.
I'm sure Tutum would be more than happy to smile at you.
That's a big smile.
That's a very important thing, that's a very affectionate smile.


 Camille, who is often returned unresponsive these days because those around her are so used to it, nodded yes with a face full of realization.


''More importantly, if you both want to be part of an army, you have to cooperate first. You were able to do it when you fought the tyrannical dragon, so don't tell me it's impossible?
..........
..........
If you two won't cooperate, then I won't cooperate either.
"...chit! I get it! I'm sure you'll do it! Do it!
Huh.


 Although they were reluctant to do so, they both had the same goal in mind. They were forced to shake hands afterwards, and Camille had to teach them how to increase their power.
