278-Mutant shell club




Awwww...


 Corrina, who was entrusted by Tsutomu with the task of defeating the Mutant Shell Club this time, is sitting in the front seat of the thirty-second table while moving her gaze around a bit. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

 Of course, Amy has an idol-like position, but recently Amira was becoming more and more popular as well. She originally had a certain amount of name recognition as the daughter of the guild leader, but perhaps the main reason for this is because she has become a little more rounded and easier to approach.

 The other two are Hannah, the leading avoidance tank with a cuteness that makes you want to protect them, and Leleia, whose behavior and dignified face are indicative of her good upbringing. Since the four women were gathered here, they were receiving a lot of attention from the surroundings, and from Corina's point of view, she didn't feel out of place.


(Really, I can't help but wonder why I'm here, even now...)


 I really didn't know why I was originally just a member of a slightly well-known mid-sized clan called Wings of the White Striking, and I really didn't know why I had joined this clan. When Tsutomu had approached me directly and scouted me, I thought it was a misunderstanding, and afterwards I had a hunch that there was some sort of backstory.

 I've never lived a life where I could be so smug as to think that my abilities and my body were what I was after. I'm at a level where I can manage to make a living as an explorer, and although I was never even called ugly by those around me at the school in the royal capital, I've never been called too pretty either. From that point of view, all the women enrolled in the infinite circle are dazzling to me.

 So at first I thought that he wanted to put himself, a prayer warrior who would never get an army, into the clan under the pretense of matching his numbers. But Tsutomu was willing to teach me something about healers, and the clan members were surprisingly kind to me. Besides, being able to eat good food like in a restaurant every day was like heaven to Korina.

 There were times when he was forced to update his highest tier at a rapid pace, and there were times when he was challenged by the Winter General to catch up with his army. However, even if the hierarchical attack doesn't go well, the PT members won't be violent, and they won't struggle over the distribution of magic stones. For Korina, who has been an explorer in the heavy atmosphere, this was a place where she didn't feel suffocated.

 Can I have such a good feeling about myself? One day when she was spending her time sometimes thinking that she might get hit by a beehive. One day, Tsutomu told me a shocking fact.


He said, "Korina, don't just eat your dinner, and get on with your work and produce as much as my disciple Eunice. When you finish your ninety levels, you'll be the healer of the infinite circle.


 In the first place, I was first of all surprised that Tsutomu had such high expectations of me. However, when I think back, Tsutomu spent quite a bit of time instructing me, and when I asked Oli about the equipment, it was a combination of dungeon products that were custom made. Also, Oli prepares quite a lot of meals for me. And yet, if you can't produce any results, it was no wonder that Tsutomu said so.

 Tsutomu told me that he was already the best of the prayer warriors, but is that really true? Although that thought made me feel uneasy, it was also true that my cheeks loosened when I remembered those words when I returned to my room and was alone.

 There was probably no prayer warrior who wouldn't be happy to be praised that much by a man who had shown enough standing to change the position of a white mage itself, and who was still counted as one of the three fingers among healers. Now that he's said that much, it makes me feel like I'm going to do my best as much as possible.


(But will I be able to live up to that man's expectations.......)


 However, such words from Tsutomu motivated Korina and at the same time, they also put a lot of pressure on her. Until now, she had been a healer, hiding behind Tsutomu's shadow and being supported by the clan members. But I never envisioned a future where I was standing on the front lines and being a healer on behalf of the Infinite Circle.

 This was why Corina felt suffocated by the gaze that was being directed at her now. Why was that person in the Mutant Shell Club's defeating PT? I'm looking at him as if to say, "I'm not sure what to expect. The pressure that comes with anticipation is so great that I can't handle it.


"The old lady said she was going to dive for the first time today but she hasn't come out.
'I can see why there would be a bit of a commotion if I went out to the other divine tables, and I wonder what's going on?


 But unlike her, Amira and Amy, who didn't care about the gaze at all, were tilting their heads at the fact that Camille had declared that she was going to challenge the mutant shell club, so they weren't going to come out in the middle. Then Hannah pointed to a large second unit in the distance.


'Ah! Master!
'Hannah, it's more of a shell club now than a twom. ........But you seem strangely unwell, don't you? Diniel seems to be saying something like a little mother-in-law, too.
Well, those two seem to have good chemistry with each other. And the pictures are amazing. At a glance, she looks like a clan princess.


 The second platform itself is much farther away, so you can't hear the audio, but you could see Tsutomu being blended in with Diniel from a distance. Around her are Garum, Daryl, and Zeno, who are rather popular with the ladies, so the women were gathered around the second platform.

 Amy and Amira also reacted a little to her voice, but they quickly returned their gaze to the vicinity of the thirtieth platform where the fifty levels were reflected. Then they stared at the mutant shell club in the reflection.


''I'd heard rumors about it, but it's really big.''


 The shell club was originally larger in length, but its current form looked larger than before, looking like it was fully equipped with armor. One side of the large claw that was most distinctive had several ores attached to it, making it look like a blunt instrument in the shape of a crystal.


'That's a nasty move. That's not a crab move.


 And the movements of the Shell Crab seem to become quicker as its heavy armor is peeled off, and its claws become sharper, increasing its attack power. In the past, the more armor you peeled off, the more attacks you could make, and if you broke the claws, the more vulnerable you would be, but this time it seems to work to your disadvantage.

 In particular, when you destroy the rocks attached to the claws, the ferocity of the shell club itself seems to increase, and it can be seen slaughtering searchers as if to avenge the grudges of friends who have been cruelly hunted up until now. The strength of such a claw itself seems to have increased considerably, and no PT has been able to destroy it so far.

 And Amira was right, the shell crab's movements are also different from before, jumping around like a monkey and moving like a spider using the sticky fluid it spits out from its mouth, clearly deviating from the crab's. It is much smaller than the second unit.

 As the two of them looked at the monitor on the thirty-second unit, which was much smaller than the second unit, Leleia and Hannah came up to them as well.


''........It seems that the devil's own fault is after the armor has been peeled off to some extent. The tanks haven't been able to receive the attack, and I get the impression that the attackers are also fumbling with their attacks.
Hmmm. It's pretty impressive when you see it in front of you~
Isn't that better than General Winter? So I don't think I'm any less scared than those guys.
It's better than Diniel's arrow.
''No, the PTs we're fighting are all the same people we've been hearing names from labyrinth maniacs lately...''


 The recent influx of aristocrats had given the mid-sized clans new ways to raise funds, and they had also developed enough talent to make Tsutomu take notice. That's exactly what the Silver Beast, which was a mid-tier clan that made it into a major clan, could become. But despite the fact that such clans are challenging each other, the Mutant Shell Club hasn't even been cornered yet.

 That's why the PT with three unique skills that we were planning to dive today had high hopes, but the labyrinth maniacs who were waiting for us to dive are looking disappointed because we haven't done so yet. These Corina and the others were a little unhappy because they thought it would be a good reference.


''We've already seen the movements, and I think the materials that Korina-chan made for us will be enough for the rest...''
'Maybe so...'


 As for the information on the mutant shell club, Corina, who has been watching the divine table closely, has already compiled and distributed it. That's why I didn't feel the need to look at the divine table much after I actually finished watching the shell club's movements.


''Then what shall we do today? Should we go early?''
........that's right. I heard that Tsutomu-san will be watching tomorrow at the shrine, so I think it's best to get used to it.
''It's unfortunate that we didn't see the opposing PTs, but let's rather consider it an opportunity. It seems that this achievement has something to do with the selection of the ninety level members, and there is no better way to be the first to break through.
It's settled.
'Whoa! Let's go!


 Then Corina and the other PTs slipped out of Shentai Square and began to head in the direction of the guild.
