Tsutomu's remarks in the morning paper reduced the number of fictional fans who were using Tsutomu to make a smug statement. Those people don't have the knowledge to be able to defend Tsutomu even after he made his remarks using the second highest level of transmission.

　And like locusts heading to the next place after their feeding grounds ran out, those who had been spurning their shallow knowledge left their positions en masse. Even the labyrinth maniacs who conformed to the opinions of the crowd praised him as a master who could grow up and see off his apprentice who had passed him with a smile, but some of them still seemed to be defending Tsutomu.


'Ooh, just as I expected. That's great.''
Not so much.


　When Tsutomu had heard the story from Zeno, he had thought that he was going to incite those people who were flouting their shallow knowledge to extinction on the divine table. However, Xeno had humbly advised me that I would only have to praise my former disciples and things would be settled, so I did as he said first.

　Then the rumor really was largely resolved the next day, and even from what I heard from my informant, the fictional fans were extinct. The gazes I received on the way from the Clan House to the guild were softer than before, and since I meant what I said yesterday, I was satisfied with Tsutomu.


''........Yay, huh?''
I'm tired!　I can't do it!　I don't want to shoot my skills again!


　Three days later. With a wounded Weiss and Alma putting a final stop to it, the Dream PT had succeeded in defeating the Mutant Shell Club. Facing an extremely stinging water magic stone, Weiss dropped to his knees as if he was tired, and Eunice, who was too exhausted to move due to the accumulation of hate, twitched her fox ears and sent them on their heels.

　The Dream PT hadn't changed the battle strategy they had thought of from the beginning and continued to fight with the intention of attacking until the end. Weiss and Leon's attacker and tank also worked well against the mutant shell club, and the instantaneous firepower of Camille, who could turn into a dragon, and Alma, who had a black staff, also helped to push through at the end. Yunis had also become a much more watchable healer due to the many times he had fought against the Mutant Shell Club.


''d*mn it.''
..........


　In contrast, the Mugen no Wa no Wa PT was a step short of being beaten by the Dream PT. The members of the team itself were not bad, with Hanna, who is an evasive tank, and Amira and Amy, who can use the Dragonization knot. The initial strategy against the Mutant Shell Club wasn't wrong either.

　However, the Mutant Shell Club's unexpected persistence in the last half of the game, the Mugenawa no Ring PT was unable to come up with an answer.

　The role of an evasion tank is a precarious one, where a single hit is the end of the world, but Hannah was quite stable even against the Mutant Shell Club. Do you want to use her as a pivot to stand stable as usual, or do you want to attack it like the Dream PT? This policy was not well organized within the PT.

　In that regard, one of the reasons for victory for Dream PT is that we were able to consistently draw a blueprint for attacking and winning with everyone, and it was well organized. Everyone was able to move based on the concept that Weiss and Alma had come up with, so there was no hesitation in their movements.

　And the extremely large magic stone that was as stinging as a sea urchin dropped from the Mutant Shell Club was to be auctioned off at the guild. In the meantime, Amira, among others, looked at the magic stone displayed as a spectacle in the guild with a regretful look on her face.

　Two days later, the Infinite Circle PT was also able to break through the Mutant Shell Club, but they only attacked by following the Dream PT's firepower-pressing tactics. In front of the urchin magic stone, Hanna was the only one who seemed to be happy, but the other members looked unconvinced and were reflected in the God's table, which was impressive.


''Congratulations on breaking through to the Shell Club!''
..........
It's a total wake. Only Hannah's not looking too happy about it.
'What?　I'm not trying to imitate a frog, but...
It's not.


　Tsutomu welcomed the four of them back to the Clan House in the evening with a gloomy look on his face, and he couldn't help but shove it at Hannah, who took it as worded. But Amira and Leleia didn't chuckle at such a joke, Amy laughed bitterly and Corrina had a sullen look on her face.


''At any rate, I'll take tomorrow off, so somehow switch it up. We'll have to move on to the ninety levels next. 'Okay then.'


　After saying that much, Tsutomu went into the living room and began to look at the papers that Oli was organizing with him. Near Tsutomu, Diniel is lying limply on the sofa, beckoning Amy to join him. Amy and Hannah headed underneath her, while the other three went upstairs.


'Good night,'
Thanks.


　Amy replied to Diniel's words with a soothing look and plopped down on the couch. And then she writhed and writhed, as if she remembered Camille's flushed face she saw in the guild.


''Soooo, the numbers are all over the place, aren't they?
'This is the total amount of magic stones you spent on defeating the Mutant Shell Club?　We also did some more rosters, didn't we? That's a lot more than the other four, don't you think?
I'm going to take a bath!


　Hannah peeked at the papers Tsutomu was holding and then ran downstairs to the bathroom with a hail of hail as if to escape. Tsutomu sighed lightly at her and picked up the blue feather that had fallen to the ground and threw it in the trash.


'Amy, do Amira and the others look okay?'
Hey, don't you want to hear about me?
It looks like you're doing okay.


　Diniel was touching his white cat ears as if he were rubbing his shoulders, and Amy was closing her eyes as if she was feeling good about receiving it. Tsutomu could tell that he hadn't sunk much as far as he could see, so he returned the favor. Amy then looked disappointed, but she immediately looked as if she was in a hot spring and thought about it.


'Maybe it's okay...' Amira is just lightly agitated and grumpy by the guild leader, and Leleia-chan doesn't seem to be that bothered by it. I think you should give Corina-chan a bit of a shout-out, though. She seemed to feel pretty responsible. Also, Amy-chan should be treated gently, right?
I see. Thank you.


　After listening to the last, Tsutomu finishes looking at the paperwork on Clan management and gets up and takes a jug of water from the refrigerator that uses the ice magic stone and pours it into a cup. Lately, it's already getting to be the season when he misses cold food, so he also has popsicles and other items in the freezer. Tsutomu tossed the popsicle to Amy as a sign of tenderness, and she popped it into her mouth with a disgruntled look on her face.


''It's great that we were actually able to defeat the Mutant Shell Club. That spiky demon stone is also rare, so it has the potential to sell well, and the reputation from the labyrinth maniacs has been very well received. I guess I was wrong to ask you to beat them.
'Hmm, but I was definitely aware of it even if Tsutomu didn't tell me. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Even so, Korina-chan seemed to have sunk down a lot, but she's become a lot stronger than she was before.
'Yeah. I'm getting pretty much finished as a healer, and I still have a lot of room to grow.
'I don't want to get stuck up, do I?　I've been told by my disciples that I've been able to cross over recently.
Yes.


　Tsutomu is drinking water with a fluent look on his face as Amy says with a slightly nasty look in her eyes.


''........I don't have a sense of urgency, do I? It's true that Korina-chan hasn't overtaken you yet, but... Do you think you've already lost to your disciples?
''No, no, in fact, my highest level of attainment right now is losing to Stephanie. I'm still learning by looking at the ninety level divine platform, and at the moment, I'm taking the labyrinth maniacs' assessment of me seriously.
Hmmm....


　Amy, who was rolling a popsicle with a somewhat skeptical look in her eyes, humbly replied and went upstairs to get herself a bath. Amy went to the large bathroom on the first floor to take a bath, and Diniel followed her.
