..........


　After this first military review, Diniel had thrown himself onto the bed in his room because he wasn't in the mood to go see the divine table with the other four. Then he remembered a scene he had already forgotten how many times he might have remembered.


(That was the scene where everyone gave up.)


　This was a scene where three people died at the same time after an unknown attack from the Ninety Level Lord, and no tanks survived. Against Tsutomu, who had desperately called out to him that he could still rebuild, Diniel gave up, deciding that fighting any longer would only prolong the game in vain.

　If he had shown himself to be willing to fight there, Tsutomu, who seemed to be obsessed with life, would have persisted until the last minute. That's why Diniel deliberately died early. That way, Tsutomu didn't waste time resuscitating and died gracefully, thinking that he could minimize the damage. It's also because he was afraid of losing his equipment, especially his bow, which he had finally begun to get used to, in case he was poorly revived.

　Nevertheless, just as Tsutomu had thought, the feeling of hassle was half of it. He knew himself that it was still possible with Farenlich, but this time it was clearly impossible. That and the attack where three people died suddenly at once, such as the attack where three people suddenly died at once, was part of what made too much sense to be deflated. So he didn't even listen to Tsutomu's words and quickly collected only his own equipment and died.

　But what Tsutomu chose to do after Diniel's death was to continue the battle recklessly. According to the battle status report that Oli had written down that was shown to him during the review meeting, Tsutomu had revived Daryl and once he had survived the attack from the Narrow Gap with a barrier, he then revived Leleia as well. If it was Stephanie or Lorena, this is where they could have already been targeted by a flood of Naraku no Hate. But Tsutomu followed suit and revived Hannah and himself.

　From then on, Diniel was also on the scene, but Tsutomu had done everything he could to survive the attack of the end of the world. He mimicked Lorena's running stand-up to Stephanie's precise and unmatched skill manipulation. He also used the other abilities he had, such as fly running, which he learned from Xeno and used Hannah as a reference, and the legs he had been training every morning because of Garum.

　Still, he was caught in the end of his maturity, but he was able to endure it without being petrified due to a de-petrification potion he had secretly purchased from the forest apothecary. After that, Daryl was able to take out the hate from the end of the world, so Tsutomu was able to revive four people and rebuild the PT without dying again.

　But why was he able to take a petrification attack from the first grab that Naraku showed for the first time, with the petrification potion ready to go? And even in the final stages of the game, even though all but Hannah had collapsed in the first overall attack, Tsutomu, who had the lowest AGI, was able to rebuild unharmed? Diniel had some doubts about those two points. However, there was something that bothered him more than those questions.


(.........I didn't expect him to say that much.)


　When I couldn't help but argue with Tsutomu's words after we returned to the Clan House. He explained how bad Diniel was, with a look on his face that said he was waiting for me, with great vigor. It's probably due to the fact that I reflexively refuted my own misjudgment, but I didn't understand why he was being so harsh with me after I said I had forgiven him for rubber patching.

　But without the amused and annoyed look on Tsutomu's face, he's not that far off the mark. In fact, he was able to rebuild the PT without worrying about the fact that four people were dead. If I hadn't given up and fought, I would have been able to break through the ninety levels without being driven into such a corner. Tsutomu had proven himself right with the obvious results.


(Second-rate, huh?)


　And most of all, that one word had stuck deeply in Diniel's mind. When he was seventy years old, he had been enemyless in the fighting competitions held in the elven forest, and after he had traveled for several years and experienced much interpersonal combat at the age of eighty, no one had ever called him second-rate or anything else.

　And even since the creation of God's Dungeon and the discovery of the job of archer, there had been no enemies of Diniel's. That's exactly what it was, a dark elf whose race was different but whose lifespan didn't change, to the point where the only opponent was Cristia of the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad. That was also because Cristia was a white mage, so if it was a skill-included strength, she had already surpassed him.

　Diniel had always been able to do most everything. Among them, she was one of the best among the elves when it came to her archery skills, but even with her talent, she wasn't strong to begin with. Diniel has gained her current abilities because she has passed the backs of those who are over three hundred years old, elven adults, strong monsters who also appear in the elven forest at the stampede of a three-month cycle, and Christia, whose abilities were outstanding even in the elven forest.

　However, in the past decade or so, he had lost the back that made him want to overtake them. I noticed that there was no one in front of me, and even if I stopped running and walked, I would never see a person. There was no sign of them chasing me even if I stopped.

　But Diniel was still good. As long as he could sleep as he liked or read a book he was interested in at leisure. I'm also interested in conquering the dungeons outside and God's dungeons for sightseeing, but I don't plan to put that much serious effort into it. As long as I can handle the battles that I'm satisfied with, that's all.

　However, this time the opponent unexpectedly stamped me as second-rate. Tsutomu is in the position of a white mage and healer. A man who has stood up to the tyrannical dragon and is pursued by Amy, who is just as talented as he is. He had a reputation of being a second-rate attacker.


(.........pissed off)


　Unlike humans, elves have a long life span, but their sense of time hasn't changed that much if it's up to a hundred years. So it is quite annoying for Diniel to be called second-rate by Tsutomu, who has a difference in the amount of time he has lived for eighty years. The pride of having lived for a hundred years and the tribal condescension to humans that if you live eighty years, you'll live longer.

　But Diniel, who had beaten adults older than him with his bow, had seen more than a few who had done disgraceful things to protect their pride. Therefore, he did not want to be like those people.


(...........................I'll talk to Amy when she gets back.


　Having come to such a conclusion, Diniel buried his face in the pillow as if irritated, and flapped his body like a fish that had been washed ashore.


　“Oh!


　The two army PTs of the Infinite Circle who were advancing the attack on the 89th level in order to head to the Black Gate to the 90th level... Korina, who was playing the role of a healer among them, still hadn't gotten rid of the shock of being punched in the head the day before.


(That thing........I can't do it.)


　Corrina, who was watching Tsutomu's four-man revival from the Divine Table, felt as if her conventional wisdom had been completely turned upside down. The scene was so dramatic that she even forgot to breathe for a while. That's how shocking it was for her to rebuild from that four-man revival.

　No matter how much Tsutomu had dived through the shura in the outer dungeons, God's dungeons had their own painfulness to them. Among them, the morale of the PT was clearly different from that of the outer dungeon.

　In other dungeons, you won't have to give up because you will inevitably die, but in God's dungeon, you can come back to life even if you die. So if your PT is on the verge of collapse, there will always be PT members like Diniel who will just collect their equipment and give up. Probably even Leleia was doubtful to have survived that scene, but as a result Tsutomu was left to face the end of his life alone.


(Why don't you just give up?　A situation like that, of course it's hopeless. (Why?)


　So when Diniel gave up and died, Tsutomu must have been completely choked up. Besides, Corina, who had experienced a number of wild PTs, could painfully understand how he felt at that time. In the first place, even a situation where three people fell at once in the first attack was painful, but if Diniel gave up on her as well, her will to fight would certainly be broken by feelings of despair and resignation. Korina knew that too, and she was in tears at that moment, knowing how Tsutomu felt.

　You will be able to get a good deal more than just a few of these. However, the first time I encountered that scene, I felt a mixture of the feeling of being abandoned by the PT members and the fear of death, and I started crying on the spot. Korina remembered that moment when she saw Tsutomu desperately trying to persuade Diniel to stay.

　After those events, Korina had once wondered if she should retire, but she still continued to be a healer, partly because of her admiration for Shintai. However, no matter how much she recovered, the PT members were quickly being cut down and dying pompously. It's useless to revive these unwilling and unskilled people. It's useless to support and recover. Korina, who worked as a stray PT healer, spat these thoughts out in her mind at least once a day. But thanks to that poor environment, Korina had acquired a mentality that would make Tsutomu take notice of her.

　But even with such a mentality, Corina's heart would have certainly been broken when Diniel gave up. And after recovering as much equipment as possible, she chose death. That was the only option I could see.

　However, in spite of the fact that Tsutomu was in a deadlocked situation, he revived Daryl without any sense of despair or resignation. First of all, I could never make that choice for myself. If it was at the point where all three of them died at once, but once Diniel gave up, it was impossible to rebuild anymore. Despite that, Tsutomu even showed a fearless smile and began to rebuild the PT.


(That person is crazy. With someone like that, how can I be one army from the ninety-first level.... (Besides, I don't know if I can even break through the ninety levels in the first place...)
What--na?


　When I look at myself after being shown such a tremendous healer, I look at myself in a haphazard way. It's clear that I've grown as a healer compared to my former self, but compared to Tsutomu's existence, I'm like a worm.


(I wonder if I will be able to properly support and recover against that nascent person.
Hey.
What if I petrify them all? Will I be able to avoid the whole attack? We might run out of support in the first place. Oh, I'm scared. I'm terrified.
"Don't ignore me, a**h*le!
Aha!


　Corina, who was walking towards the black gate, repeatedly asking herself questions and entering her own world, bounced on the spot when Amira kicked her buttocks off. She then turned back to Amira, who was peeling her teeth while holding her ass down.


'Hey, what are you doing?'
'Ha. By the look on your spicy face, you were thinking about Tsutomu anyway, weren't you?　You look like you're not as good as Tutum.
Ugh.
There's no way you could do that now, a**h*le.


　After saying this clearly, Amira looked away from Corina and crunched the red scales on her neck with her index finger.


It's a good thing that you're here, too. It's not a problem. I don't like Galum, and I don't like Zeno, but he's a good tank. You just do what you can. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Hey, you know, I'm not in the room.
'Oh?　I'm stronger than you, right?
"Oh, well...


　Amy is staring menacingly at Amira, her eyes shining cat-eyed in the night. As Korina gasped at the sight of them, Garum and Xeno also came forward, shaking their armor from behind.


'Korina-kun!　You have nothing to worry about. Leave this to me!
'It would certainly be difficult for even Corina to perform a miracle like that. But it doesn't change the fact that Korina is a healer who is recognized by Tsutomu. Have confidence.
Yes!
And, come on, you two. We'll be at the Black Gate by now, won't we?


　Looking at Garum standing between Amy and Amira, who was on the verge of battle, Corina clutched the talisman around her neck and made a wish for healing for herself. Then she held her still tingling buttocks again.


'Yes, of course,'
You're awake now.
'Yes, thank you but I think kicking him was too much, don't you?　It still hurts!
You'll be glad you did. You should be grateful.
Huh....


　Corina looked down and sighed in disappointment at Amira's still manly appearance, but there was a slight smile on her face. Then, as she looked up to switch, she saw something faintly black in front of Korina.


'Ah!　Isn't that it!


　And the two armies of the Infinite Circle PT also discovered the black gate leading to the ninety levels and began to prepare for the End of the World War.
