'Whoa!　This is terrible!　It's Master's fault!


　Hannah has been moaning all morning when she sees an article in the Solit newspaper. The article showed a picture of Hannah in the eighty-one levels, heartily surprised and half-crying, and said that the crowd was talking about it.

　The 81st level where I dove before was a rare place to go, and Aldoret Crow's PT, who first experienced it, had also been exposed in the newspaper with a photo of his amazement. Since then, it had been talked about a lot and spread quickly, so the crowd seemed to be pleased with Hannah's fresh reaction, as no one was surprised anymore.

　Tsutomu, who was oblivious to Hannah's grief, was limping after his morning run. He is still the lowest in the clan in terms of physical strength, so he's been running every day lately, but he doesn't feel like he can even beat Corina. But still, it had already become a habit, so I still continued to do it.


(Maybe today I'll team up with someone I couldn't team up with yesterday.)


　The current highest level is the 83rd level of Aldoret Crow, and the progress is not that fast, so there is no need to rush. Therefore, the first step is to get everyone used to the monsters that appear in the Light and Dark Hierarchies, so you can set up your own PT.

　So this time, I was thinking of using Daryl, Garum, Diniel, and Amy, who I didn't pair up with yesterday. And when I invited PT over breakfast in the living room, Daryl readily agreed with a waggle of his black tail and Diniel nodded his head.


I'm sorry. I'd like to team up with Corina today.
"Huh?


　However, Tsutomu let out a sultry voice at Garum's unexpected denial, which would normally be the first to nod. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them. Even Daryl rolled his eyes at Garum's words.

　Then Amy also raised her hand while awkwardly folding her white cat ears.


''I'm sorry, I'd like to team up with Corina today too,''
'Eh. ... uh... yeah?　Hmmm....


　His mouth stopped, unable to hide his agitation, as he honestly thought that the two of them would definitely agree to it. And Corina, who was nominated by the two of them, also looked at Tsutomu like that and gasped and quickly swallowed the salad with her mouth.


''Eek!　Tutu, aren't you going to make a PT with Mr. Tsutomu?　Mr. Garm and Amy!
The best way to do it is to have a good idea of what you want to do. You'll have to decide on a PT to challenge the 90th level master, but until then, it doesn't matter what kind of PT you make up.


　Tsutomu said this with a subtle look on his face as Korina's follow-up stung him a little, and Amira, who was seated in front of him, laughed with an amused smile.


'You look like you've been bitten on the hand by your dog!　That's good medicine for Tutom!
Well then, Corina can decide on a PT today.
'What?　Well, I'm not really a clan leader at all........and Tsutomu-san is the leader of the clan and he's a better player...?　If you decide, Tsutomu-san, I'll follow it.
Shut up and do it. Get it over with. The Clan Leader is very upset.
..........


　Tsutomu silently pointed his thumb down at Amira, who was looking at him with a condescending sink-eye. And Corina, who had never decided on PT before, was muddled for a while, but finally decided when she finished eating her breakfast.


'So, then......... Garum-san, Hanna-san, Amira-san, and Amy-san........
Okay. Is everyone OK?
It's nice and fresh!　Of course it's fine!　I'll beat the master who tricked me into this!　Shush!


　Hannah's emotions that had sunk in earlier had vanished somewhere and she was happily shadowboxing. Amira was also sticking her tongue out and making fun of her as if she were dealing with a baby. Tsutomu looked at the two of them with cold eyes, then looked around at the PT members who were teaming up this time.

　Then they all took the dishes to the kitchen, and each of them went back to their rooms to prepare to head to the divine dungeon. Tsutomu also changed out of his room clothes into his usual white robe and the black pants he got from the volcano hierarchy, and fastened his belt to hold the potion bottles.

　Finally, he left the room with his magic bag on his back, stopping briefly on his way down. After stopping in front of Garum's room, he quickly walked down the stairs.


'So all that's left is Diniel and Xeno?'
Okay.
'Xeno is rather slow too...'


　Tsutomu looked upstairs with a disgusted look on his face as he joined Daryl and Leleia in the living room, having already finished getting ready. Diniel slouched in his room for some reason, and Xeno took time to prepare as he carefully checked his appearance.


'What's wrong, Garum-san? You've never turned down Mr. Tsutomu's invitation before, have you?'
'Come on, if there's something wrong he'll tell you and you don't have to worry about it.
'Yes, of course...'


　Tsutomu replied a little coldly to Daryl, who looked a little uneasy, and then went upstairs and dragged Diniel, who was lying on the bed, with him.
