The Battle of the End of the Infinite Circle's End of Life had been settled, and the image of Tsutomu, the MVP of this time, lying on the ground with a tired look on his face, was projected to the first stand in the guild. Most of the viewers are explorers, but the cheers and applause are the same as outside.


''Oh shit, I'm starting to cry a little.''
Tutum, you're the best of all the healers. What's with the disciples surpassing themselves?
"Reviving four people, rebuilding the PT and not dying yourself, it's already the strongest........ You can beat anything, right?
'Daryl, the tank, is awesome, too. But I still feel like it's the healer, Tsutomu, that brings him out.


　The explorers who knew more about the healers and tanks than the spectators were all praising Tsutomu in unison. Seeing those explorers, Camille, who is behind the reception desk, is a little proudly puffing her chest out.


'You've got to be kidding me!　Why can't you die?
No....no...no...no...no...
'You can't have this!　Invalid!
Hey, be quiet.
If you don't, we'll take you in, okay?


　However, the majority of those betting on Tsutomu's death threw the bills they had on the ground or started screaming to escape reality on the spot. However, the guards that had been called in as a restraining force for the searchers were nearby, so they left the guild quickly without lashing out on the spot. In order to keep an eye on such searchers to see if they behave in a problematic manner outside, Bruno and the rest of the guards also left the guild in part.

And those who guessed that Tsutomu was alive, which had backfired this time, are beaming with joy. The orphans who had bet on Tsutomu, although it was a small sum, are also happy to be able to hold hands with him.


(Oh ... oh ... a lot of money?　(I wonder how much this is going to cost...?


　And Lorena, who had plunged quite a bit of money into Tsutomu's life this time in the heat of the moment, had become a bit richer because the odds were good. She clutched her betting cards with her hands trembling with thoughtful eyes in the face of this reality. The two people who had lost this bet, Misir, Lara and Lili, also had slightly different colors in their eyes.


''Medic.''


　Then a medic was released from in front of her to calm her down. As Lorena giggled as she was suddenly hit by the green qi, a sigh was heard from ahead. Catching the sigh, she lowered her gaze a bit and saw Eunice, wagging her golden, fluffy-looking tail, with her arms folded in front of her.


'What a face! The running healer is so pathetic.'
'Ha, ha. Sorry.....


　Eunice suddenly pays attention as soon as she flies the medic. Of course, Lorena knows her, who became famous for developing the dango raise and is also Tsutomu's apprentice. But since we are not that acquainted, I apologize for the moment, putting my hand on my head apologetically. Then she cleared her throat with a cohon and then turned her body towards the first table.


''.........Tsutomu didn't use the dango raise after all,''
'What?　Dumplings?
It's a dumpling raise!


　When Lorena asks back with one of her white rabbit ears bent over, Eunice speaks back to her with a frustrated tone. When Lorena looks like she doesn't understand what she's trying to say to Eunice, who doesn't get the point, she narrows her eyes and looks up at him in frustration.


'So Lorena is good. Tsutomu looked like he was playing a running healer. It didn't look good at all, but it's okay.
No, no, not really...
I didn't mean it as a compliment!
Yeah...?


　For some reason, Lorena scratched her head as if she was troubled by Eunice's prodding, and guessed what the hell she was trying to say. Then she remembered the dango raise she had mentioned earlier, and her expression brightened as if she had noticed.


'Erm, I mean, okay!　Mr. Eunice has a next one!


　I thought that perhaps Tsutomu was worried that he didn't use the dango raise, but I wasn't that familiar with Eunice. So I said something safe and gave him a thumbs up and encouraged him, but Eunice raised both fists in the air, fox ears up as if she was rather angry.


'It's kind of annoying the way you encourage me!　It's disgusting!
Oh, God, that hurts! Stop it.


　As Lorena, who was tapped on the shoulder hard and faintly, held down a teary-eyed Eunice as if she were dealing with a relative's child, a dark-haired woman stumbled out from beside her.


''Oh my god you're really pretty!
'Geez!　You must stop!


　Seeing Eunice looking jealous of Tsutomu's use of the technology of a healer who runs without using a dango raise, Alma hugs her with a look of patience. Lorena watches her screaming as Alma rubs her cheeks and giggles, smiling bitterly.


(They're so friendly. But in the end, what did he want to say...?


　Lorena couldn't guess that Eunice wanted to bring up the subject of dumpling raises and running healers and then discuss Tsutomu, so Lorena looked away, tilting her head. Then a woman in a blue dress walked in from beyond that with a wobbly gait.


''.........''
..........


　Stephanie, Aldoret Crow's first army healer. She put up her long rabbit ears to warn me as she approached me with her face upturned and empty eyes as if she was drunk, but it passed without anything in particular happening.





　Stephanie was also watching the Battle of the End of Nature at the guild's Shindae, but she often acted in an emotionally unstable manner, such as making strange noises in the middle of the battle and then starting to squirm abnormally. It is true that I myself had raised my voice during the scenes where Tsutomu was active, but the fact that she was causing strange disturbances in the guild made me feel sick somehow.

　However, if you look at her as a healer alone, aside from her humanity, Stephanie is one of the best at what she does. Her time and hate management reminiscent of Tsutomu, and her ability to manipulate skills as only an old-timer can. She has inherited his skills so well that it's satisfying to say that Stephanie is the first disciple of Tsutomu, and recently many people have said that she has surpassed Tsutomu. Lorena was not happy about it, but she did not object to it.

　However, no one would be able to say that after seeing Tsutomu's battle to the end of his life. Four people were revived and then rebuilt. And the hate management was so perfect, even from Lorena's point of view, that it was a true example, and I was glad to see that she was able to imitate my stand. Honestly, as far as the endgame was concerned, that was rather the only scene I saw.


(I can't wait for him to come back...)


　The Infinite Circle PT seems to have been worn out a lot and is still stuck at the ninety level, but as Lorena, she can't wait to question Tsutomu about his imitation of her technique and say a lot of things to him. And while looking forward to seeing what kind of face Tsutomu would make and what kind of excuses he would make, he was looking at the first table.


　oo


　She hobbled back to the Clan House to avoid seeing Tsutomu, a room that had a little less articles about Tsutomu on the walls than before. Stephanie jumped into the bed there in her dress and buried her face in the pillow.


(What the heck!　(That one!!!)


　The way Tsutomu had stood up during the Battle of the End of the World was truly perfect. Even now, if I close my eyes, I can replay Tsutomu's maneuvering in my mind, and Stephanie lounged around the wide bed with her crotch closed as if she were writhing.


(Moves against the end of the line, skill manipulation, hate management, and finally, what a four-man revival...!　It's just too much!　(If you're mesmerized by something like that, oh my God!


　First of all, the fact that all of the PTs in the Infinite Circle had already taken measures against the End of the World, and among them, Tsutomu's command and movement could be called the best solution. Because Stephanie has challenged the end of the world dozens of times until now, she could see Tsutomu's unusually brilliant movements better than anyone else.

　A response to the actions of the mature. Seconds to de-petrate the petrification, a quick response to the implicit state. The balance of support recovery and thorough hate management. And rebuilding the threat of reviving four people and surviving themselves. The rebuilding would be widely reported the next day, and it was a remarkable achievement. But Stephanie was frenzied by Tsutomu's actions, which piled up countless times behind the achievement.


(If an ordinary healer was in the same situation as Tsutomu-sama, there's no way he'd be able to aim at the tank that quickly after resuscitating one of them!　(It's important to know how Master Tsutomu hadn't earned his hate from the end of his life by then, and still kept the PT functioning properly despite it!


　Stephanie's attention was focused on the first raise Tsutomu used after Diniel committed suicide. If she was a normal healer, she could have earned a few dozen minutes of targeted hate from the end of her life when she performed that raise. It's because if he was doing the normal support recovery while petrifying and undoing the implicit, he would have earned that much hate.

　However, Tsutomu's support recovery in the end-of-life battle was like walking on the edge of the border of the PT collapsing. The hasten that was given to Hannah for exactly the number of seconds that the support effect time against Hannah was expiring, and the minimal recovery skills that were held down to the extent that Daryl would not fall. And by not allowing his petrification state to progress at all, he was also saving the medic on himself. There are other factors as well, such as the fact that all the members of the PT did not get hit by the entire attack, and the attacker's sufficient firepower to avoid prolonged battles.

　However, such a detailed accumulation of information minimized the hate that Tsutomu received from the end of his life, which is why Daryl was able to take the hate right away after the initial raise. And when Tsutomu revived Daryl, he made it clear that he could take the Hate against him immediately.

　Even before that, Stephanie had been in love with Tsutomu's standing when she looked at Kamidai, but the moment the Naraku turned to Daryl as he had said, she felt as if all the pieces had been filled in, and she made a strange noise.


(Master Tutom knew all this!　Oh, wonderful. (I want to go back to that video many, many, many times, dozens, hundreds of times!


　It was all in Master Tutom's hands. Recognizing this, Stephanie couldn't suppress the voice that leaked out from within. Tsutomu then brought all four of them back to life and was finally caught in the end, but he still didn't die. He was able to cut through the petrification with his endurance by the Medic and then led the team to victory without breaking the PT.


'Aaaaaaah!　It's amazing!


　She replayed the image over and over again in her mind, replaying it back and forth in agony. Finally, Stephanie began to calm down and turned on her back, her face flushed. Her sweaty pink hair was sticking to her face as she smiled that even maddening smile, and she was still letting out a contented sigh.

　But then her eyes caught sight of Tsutomu's picture on the ceiling, and Stephanie twitched and stiffened. His eyes, from her point of view, looked like he was blaming himself.


''I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me for thinking for a moment that I had surpassed Tsutomu-sama!　Soooooo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry♡♡


　He continued to apologize with his hands folded in a flat position, as if he were doing penance to God. Then he reached for the photo on the ceiling, and as soon as he saw the photo on the wall, he stuck his cheek to it.


''Mi, please don't abandon me!　Look at me!　I'll do my best, I'll do my best, just look at me!　More, more, more!


　Then Stephanie sobbed for a while, and then fell asleep as if she had passed out and collapsed.
