I'll be fine for the rest of the day.
What?


　Tsutomu couldn't help but be surprised that Corina stood up from the table at the same time as him. Oli, who was about to get up from his seat to make additional food as usual, also looked away from Corina, who went upstairs with a surprising look on his face.


''Well you're the type that loses your appetite when you sink? Well, is that normal for you?''
Hmm?


　Daryl, who was munching on his steak while practicing the polite table manners recently taught to him by Zeno, looked curiously at Tsutomu as he stared at him. And Amira, who was looking at Corina who walked away, clicked her tongue evasively.


'You still look at me like it's my fault. No matter how many times I say it, I won't listen.
Hmm?　What did you say to Corina?
I'm just saying it's not because he said it was his fault that he couldn't get through the fifty levels first. ........Well, from your point of view, who's a better healer, that fox or Korina?
'Ah, Corina. I didn't see how the bun raise was helpful against the mutant shell club, and I think you're definitely winning on the ground.


　As she replied to Eunice, who was calling her a fox, with a slight half-smile, Amira leaned forward happily.


''Right!　I never thought that Colina would taste as good as it did from my point of view!　So I'm telling you, if there was a problem, it was me.
Oh, you thought it was your fault?
I'm not the only one. They've had their problems too.


　When Tsutomu said, leaning back in his chair with a look of admiration, she crossed her arms and looked away in disapproval. Amy gave her a look like that, but when it came to Leleia, she had a straight face.


''I don't want to be told that the guild leader's backward compatibility is a problem. And as far as I can see, you've also lost control of your dragonization. How could you say that others have a problem with that?''
'Oh?　You would have been killed because you were out of mental power. That was better than those spiritists out there.
'I explained that it was because Hannah took the liberty of using Sylph's spirit magic like a fool. After that, I never lost my mental power. But you've been held back by Korina many times when you lost control. In the end, you haven't changed at all.
Calm down!　We've already talked about that a lot!　You're not going to unravel it now!


　Amy interceded with them as they began to become more and more passionate about their words, and Hannah was cracking the shells of nuts like walnuts between them with a tool, with a look on her face as if she were doing it again. At first Hanna was frightened by the argument between Amira and Leia, but now that she has seen it many times, it has become an everyday occurrence for her to crack open a nut shell.


''Well, I'm going to go check on Corrina just to see how she's doing.
Will you be gentle?
If you talk to her normally, she'll understand, and she won't do it like Hannah did.
..........


　As if to escape from Hannah, who silently cracked the nuts hard with a bang, Tsutomu quickly went upstairs. Then he knocked on the door of his room, with the slight murmur of the clan members coming from the first floor behind him.


''Yes.''
'Oh, I need to talk to you for a moment about the Mutant Shell Club, is everything okay now?'
...Mr. Tsutomu, are you alone?
Oh, yeah.
Come in.


　With Corina's permission, I opened the door to the room and smelled something like a refreshing orange. In front of the window, which was closed off by a curtain, there was an aromatizer, and Korina was already lying on the bed in her pajamas. Apparently she was in the middle of her aromatherapy session.


'I was going to talk to you in the other room but...'
Would you mind if I took this room, please?　This is an expensive one.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be right behind you.


　Tsutomu, who has no idea about aromas, closed the door and entered the room in a panic. I didn't have a chance to look at Corina's room in that much detail, but the interior was pretty much a normal girl. A glimpse of girl power, which is very different from Amira's room, which would be in disarray if Oli didn't clean it.

　Tsutomu unintentionally sat upright on the cushions on the floor at the suggestion of Corina, who looked different than usual, and she too got off the bed and sat in front of it. I'm not sure how to start a conversation with Korina, who doesn't seem to be in the same frightened state as usual and doesn't seem to be in good spirits, when she opened her mouth.


''Isn't ... our PT awesome?''
"Huh?


　Tsutomu was startled by Corina's abrupt self-praise with a serious look on her face, and a strange sound escaped him. Then she quickly waved her hands as if she were making an excuse.


''No, what do you say? Erm, right?''
"...Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to have sunk that low, does it?　As for not being able to take out the mutant shell club in the first place.
''Ah, yes. Losing to that PT is a no-brainer, right?
'Well, yeah. I was the first one to tell you to take them down when I knew my competitor was Aldoret Crow. With a PT like that, I suppose it can't be helped.
'Yes, that's right. I'm glad.


　Corina, who had slightly thought that Tsutomu might blame her for that, breathed a breath of relief.


'It may be a misnomer, but I honestly never dreamed that I could be that competitive with that PT. I thought I knew that Amy and the others were strong, but I didn't think I'd be able to compete with great people with unique skills in a good match. And I also thought I would be inferior to those Eunice-san's opponents, but surprisingly, that wasn't the case. From Mr. Tsutomu's point of view, I'm sure there were still some things that weren't good enough... but I didn't feel that there was as much difference as I thought there was.


　My opponent was Eunice, who is currently making headlines for her dango raises, but I really thought I wasn't going to lose, as far as I could tell from what I saw on the divine table. And although I ended up getting beaten by that PT this time, I was able to defeat the Mutant Shell Club two days later, so I was able to achieve a satisfactory result. Besides, even as a prayer warrior myself, I was no match for Eunice, the white mage, and I was gaining confidence that I could fight as a healer.


''Of course I was a bit disappointed when I lost to that PT, but it wasn't as bad as Amy and the others. ...If anything, I was even relieved. But everyone except Hannah-san seemed really frustrated, so, you know, I couldn't say much either...
'Then the reason I stopped cooking earlier in the middle of the meal...'


　When Tsutomu asked the awkward-looking Korina that, her stomach gurgled. It seems that she was not seriously depressed and anorexic, but rather she was acting to make people think that she too was depressed because she couldn't defeat the mutant shell club first. Tsutomu gave a slightly troubled smile at her unexpected confession.


''........Amira, you were worried about Korina out of character?
'Yes, that's right. Even during the review meeting, whenever I said something, he immediately defended me, but I was really happy inside, but I couldn't bring myself to say it...


　Thinking of Korina, who seemed to be in a rush after the mysterious atmosphere of earlier had disappeared, and Amira earlier, Tsutomu smiled bitterly as he thought of her.


I think there is nothing wrong with saying that I'm satisfied with my own success and being able to fight against that PT. Sure, Amira will be a bit angry, but I'm sure Corina will forgive me.
''No, Amira-san looked so frustrated when that PT beat us to it that we felt bad about it, so it's not such an easy atmosphere to say...''
I see. Well, I'm glad to see that Corina has found her confidence in you for the time being. It's not as hard as you think, right?
Yes. .........er. But, um, Eunice-san is actually not very good at...
'Yeah. The more passionate I was about developing dango raises, the worse I was at it. But as expected, I'm a higher level and better than the average white mage. So at least Corina is a better healer than the average white mage.
'Thank you. ........Thanks to you, I've gained a little bit of confidence. I was really getting good at fighting, wasn't I?


　Korina, who was holding her hands as if she felt a good response, grimaced shyly. But Tsutomu narrowed his eyes to warn her.


'Just don't be satisfied just because you've crossed Eunice. Besides, I know you were scattered, but let's reflect on the Mutant Shell Club battle and use it for the next one.
'Yes, sir. This time I've learned the hard way how tough it is on the front lines. It's really difficult to capture them from scratch.... We all had a review meeting earlier, but the problem this time was that there was no one to lead. Perhaps it was partly because Amy-san's thinking became simpler with the dragonization knot, but if we all had been able to move forward with a little more clarity on where the PT was going, maybe we would have won.
'If you know that much, it seems to be okay. After the ninety levels are done, I'll leave the next one up to Corina, so take that into account and do your best from now on.
Yes!
... and I'll tell Amira and others that I'm happy with it as soon as possible. It's a bit of a quandary, you know.
...Yes.


　They were talking in a cheerful tone and ended the conversation quietly, remembering Amira at the end.
