I'm scared.


　Tsutomu looked around at the nine clan members gathered in the living room and couldn't help but mutter when he felt the swordsmanly air flowing. There was tension during the Winter General's time, but the cause of the atmosphere that was so acrimonious was probably Leleia and Amira.

　Leleia was out for revenge, and although I'm not sure about Amira, she was originally ambitious enough to consider even Diniel a rival. So it's probably because they want to be the best of the attackers anyway, or something like that. They just sat on the sofa without looking at each other, but the feeling of intimidation was great.

　And the air between Garum and Amy isn't that good either. I'm sure you'll be able to find out a lot more about this in the future. At that time, Camille told me that she arranged for the two of them to work together to form a PT, but this time it turned out to be a bad idea. When that happened, Tsutomu was apologized to by Camille for Garum when they defeated the Mutant Shell Club and caused an uproar.

　Garum was the one who had originally blazed a trail on his own in the midst of the tank's unfavorable circumstances. He was close to Camille in his ideology, but he had reached the limits of his job and stopped being an explorer. Then, after forming a PT with Tsutomu, he became a frontline tank, but the emergence of Daryl, Hanna, and Xeno made him think deeply about his position.

　And starting with the consultation with Camille, Garum chose to strive to make his way on his own, just as he had before. Up until then, he had been getting steady results under Tsutomu's guidance, but it had helped to pull him back to the path of solitude even more.

　For now, he has stopped standing around the self-inflicted tank using the limit, and his awkward relationship with Tsutomu is improving. Nevertheless, his expression was hard, as if he wasn't satisfied with himself right now.

　On the other hand, Amy didn't choose to cooperate with Garum, but instead tried to improve her abilities by receiving guidance from Camille and Tsutomu. However, since Tsutomu's guidance on skill spinning is too strict, he hasn't seen any visible results, and now he seems to be under a lot of stress. Perhaps it's because they know inwardly the result of today's results that they're in a bad mood.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us. But when it comes to Diniel, he is yawning fluently despite the fact that the other three attackers are giggling. Corina and Hanna were trepidatiously worried about Diniel.


''Well, let's start with the reasons for this selection.


　As Tsutomu said this and sat down on the single-seater sofa, they all took notice.


'First of all, it's an attacker, but this time we're focusing on the attributes. We can supplement the light and dark attributes with weapons, but it's not a bad idea to have other attributes as well. I've chosen to combine that attribute affinity and strength. As for the tank, it's the compatibility with the Naraku with the Eye of Petrification. I've chosen it for its stability and affinity, since I'm aiming for a first-time breakthrough this time as well. Well then, I'll announce it.


　Tsutomu looked down at the documents with a look of difficulty speaking to the women who were moderately strong-eyed.


''The attackers this time are Diniel and Leleia. As for the tank, I'll take on the ninety levels with Daryl and Hannah.''
Oh my God!


　When Tsutomu said that, everyone's reaction was mixed. Xeno had his head in his hands at the overreaction, and Garum's expression didn't change much. On the contrary, Daryl and Hannah were looking at each other and cringing, and Corina's eyes were scurrying around as she caught on to that.

　Amy only gave a light sigh, as if she was expecting it inwardly, and Amira was grinding her teeth more just barely than before, as if she was more confident this time. Diniel didn't change her expression at all, and Leleia was leaning on the sofa sluggishly as if she had lost her strength.


''........Am I losing to this guy?''


　Up until now, no clan members in particular had voiced any objections regarding the selection of the PT, but for this time, Amira raised her voice in a sour tone. Her eyes were blazing with anger, but she wasn't just letting her emotions get the better of her, and she seemed to genuinely want to hear the reason for the election as well.


''In terms of losing, not losing, I'm not losing. I've stabilized my dragonization, and I even thought I'd have surpassed Camille before the Mutant Shell Club. Well, that reputation has been overturned because she's been so stubborn, but I still can't say that my strength is outmatched by Leleia.
So--!
''But lately, too much emphasis has been placed on standing around in the dragonization knot. And for that too, you're not trying to fit in with your clan members, are you?　Xeno, Diniel, and Leleia, you haven't been able to tie a dragonization knot with those three yet, and you haven't even practiced with them yet, have you?
...but the rest of them can.
''For this selection, we were definitely planning to include Diniel. So I can foresee a situation where Amira will have to tie a dragonization knot on Diniel. Even if it's granted to me or the tank, it won't be very useful unless she's used to it like Amy, so at least if she can't grant it to Diniel, the Dragonization Knot won't work. It would certainly be better to have it, but for the amount of time Amira is spending on it, it's not useful at the moment.
..........


　The number of opponents Amira can tie the knot with is limited at the moment. I'm not going to be able to give it to them, even if I weakened the effect of the dragonization knot. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

　It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. And Amira didn't seem to have any intention of improving it. I had definitely included Diniel in this PT, at least, and Xeno was also a candidate, so I didn't want to hire Amira.


'Leleia had a constraint called spirit compatibility, but I was practicing matching her with everyone. Probably even with Amira, who I disliked the most. But Amira avoided it a bit and didn't practice the Dragonization Knot. Besides, spirit sorcerers have a good attribute affinity with the end of the world, and melee combat wasn't too bad, seeing as how the mutant shell club was fighting. As for personal strength, Amira was better, but there didn't seem to be that much of a difference. Also, from what I saw, there's a lot of compatibility with Hannah, and I think I can attack Diniel well.


　In contrast, Leleia had actually practiced and finished up the cooperation between everyone and the spirit contract, thinking about the cooperation based on the spirit contract. It wasn't as good as Tsutomu's due to the compatibility of the spirits, but she had still prepared for a minimum amount of coordination no matter who was elected to the first team.

　Besides, Leleia was motivated by the motivation of revenge, and she had always done more effort than Amira on a regular basis. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the help of your friends and family, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the help of your friends and family.


I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. Is there anything else you want to ask me?
..........


　Amira, who was told the reason in an indifferent voice, seemed unable to speak, and her face was red with frustration. From the eyes, which were even lightly floating in tears, you can see a feeling of regret, even more so than when they failed to defeat the Mutant Shell Club first.


''Hmph.''


　When the PT together failed to defeat the Mutant Shell Club first, Leleia had seen Amira's frustration with even tears as she looked at her mother, Camille, on the God's Table. But now Amira seems even more frustrated because she was not chosen for the first army.

　And for that first army slot, I was chosen instead. When I thought that, my face was distorted in a reluctant manner, and the laughter I had suppressed in my heart leaked out.


''Nfufu, nfufu, nfufu!　Miihihihihi........ Mmmfufufufu!


　Ever since her parents told her that her laughing style was not knightly from her childhood, and she gradually corrected herself, she no longer had a witch-like drawl. But now, Leleia was having so much fun that she forgot the way she had been corrected over the years to laugh.

　The Clan members around her looked a little taken aback by the eerie laughter twisting from the depths of Leleia's belly. But among them, Amira was the only one who looked uncomfortable.


''........What, are you laughing at me? It's disgusting.


　Regardless of Amira's question, Leleia laughed for a while, but finally turned back to her, keeping her voice down.


''Can you not laugh at this?　You were coveting a place in the army, and you fell, and I was chosen. You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this moment, though, do you?
...Huh?


　Leleia was not at all frightened by Amira's gaze, which even contained killing intent, but rather her smile deepened.


''Could it be that you plan to kill again like the previous Clan?　But killing me here and now doesn't change the fact that you weren't chosen for the army.
I knew you were upset about that.
'I'd rather not root for the fact that I was cut down and thoroughly abused with a large sword many times, wouldn't you agree?　　I tried, no matter how much I suffered. To avenge myself on you!
f*ck you!


　When Leleia said she had taken a slot in the army for revenge, Amira was so enraged that she grabbed her chest as hard as she could and pulled her to her feet, but on the contrary, she moved her face closer and looked into her red eyes.


'Are you sorry?　I stole an army. It must be very frustrating. I can tell by looking at your face. Do you know how much I wanted to see that face?
You're not going to get away with this, man!
'Yes, that's right. I entered the infinite circle all the way to take revenge on you. And I wanted to wrestle away the position of an army from you by virtue of my ability and see your frustrated face. I cannot kill you, this is the maximum revenge I can take. 　Mmmmph!
You are...!


　Leleia is laughing heartily and happily. It's a good thing that you can't get away with it. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.


''Mmmph.''
Whoa!


　Leleia licked up the tears that ran down Amira's cheeks with her tongue from the bottom to her eyes.


''It's delicious.''
"...What?　Huh?


　Amira looked as if her thoughts froze in thought at Leleia's sudden action. And her skin was milky as she recognized the sensation of saliva dripping from her own face and an unknown creepiness that she had never experienced before.


''Ki, that's disgusting!　Huh!　Gross!
"Mmm-hmm.


　Then Amira left the living room to escape from the place. And Leleia followed her, and the inside of the living room was filled with an unpleasant silence.


''Nah, this,''


　And the anger that had sprung up for Leleia had retracted, and Amy's mutterings echoed through the living room in a surprising way.
