The black gates set up in the guild opened and five people holding magic bags dressed in flaxen clothing were spat out in unison. The woman with white rabbit ears at right angles among them quickly stands up and takes it, thanking the orphaned beastmen for bringing her cloak of clothing. Following that, the red and blue birdmen also received it.


''d*mn!　Again!
Dah!
We're almost there....
'You shouldn't have fallen behind in your haste there!　Why did I disappear....
I have an image that I can avoid better than that...
I'm feeling a bit of a push, though.


　Silver Beast is one of the clans currently taking on the ninety levels. Lorena, one of the clan's healers, and Lara and Lili, the avoidance tank, head to the changing room while discussing it. Behind them, a sorcerer wearing a deep black hood also heads for it.


'Let's just change quickly, shall we?


　And only the man, Misir, took off his flaxen clothes on the spot and equipped his armor deftly, then quickly lined up at the reception desk. Then there was a tall dog person in front of me who looked familiar, so I called out to him in a light tone.


''Oh, Garum?''
...Missile.
Hey, are you all dead, too?
Yeah.


　They were originally only acquainted with each other, but since Tsutomu became involved with the Silver Beast, they've become close enough to talk to each other a little bit. After greeting Zeno, who was wearing flaxen clothes next to Garum and was smiling confidently despite his flaxen clothes, he looked up at Tsutomu, who was attacking the 91st level on the first platform.


''It looks like you're doing well without Tsutomu over there?　Is that going to work?
We're in a tough spot, but we're in a position to win this thing.
''I see. The air in the PT was also at a standstill until recently, but thanks to the Infinite Circle and Aldrete Crow, things are better now.
What?　It didn't look very likely, though.


　Zeno, who had interrupted me quickly, rubbed his chin with a translucent face and looked at Misir with an examining eye. As for the Silver Beast, the form in which it competes with the second-tier PT of the infinite circle, I thought I knew a certain amount of information about the Silver Beast because I received it via my wife, who is a labyrinth maniac. However, Xeno was interested in the unexpected information that had not come in from his wife either.


'I was somewhat familiar with it, having been the first to play an unusual job. But to the rest of them, it seems like the upper level divine platforms are still different. So after I broke through the eighty levels in Stampede while the big clans weren't around, the PT was awkward.
You mean the Silverbeast?
'We were already starting to be recognized as a major clan after we passed the eighty levels, too. That pressure was greater than we expected. That's partly what slowed us down.


　The Silver Beast had a sharp structure of a running healer and two avoidance tanks, and the meticulous coordination that made it possible, combined with the freedom to stand in all directions, made it possible for the Silver Beast to be a PT that was comparable to the major clans. However, after they broke through the Winter General and dominated the top spot for a while, their free roaming was decreasing and they were slowly starting to get defensive.

　Up until now, Silver Beast had been in the position of aiming for the first place, but after breaking through the eighty levels, it had become a defensive position. The change, which made him think that he might lose his current position, weighed down the thoughts of the PT members who had been able to move freely until now.

　And although it was never perceived from the outside, the air was sometimes bad, too. We began to feel that this sharp structure was stuck in some way, and some labyrinth maniacs began to suggest that we should change to a more stable structure. This caused the PT members to care about each other in a strange way, and there was a delicate atmosphere where no one could say anything clearly.


''But that changed after seeing the infinite circle that broke through the ninety levels. And Aldrete Crow also began to search for a new way to get around, perhaps because of that. So we were able to reaffirm once again how we were able to get to this point.


　The Infinite Circle, which had been able to manage a stable battle until now. Tsutomu, who was the leader and healer of the clan, desperately held the PT together even under the worst of circumstances, when he was the only one left alive. As a result, he was able to rebuild the collapsed PT and successfully break through the 90 levels to become the first to do so.

　And two days later, Aldrete Crow also felt that it was not good enough to keep things the way they were, and began to try new ways of standing. Seeing this, the PT members of Silver Beast were able to reaffirm what they had done to rise to the occasion.


We're still inexperienced, but it won't do us any good if we go on the defensive. We must attack like we have been doing all this time.
''Well it would have been better if it had just gone down, but Silverbeast is a pain in the ass too.


　Then such words were thrown at him in a childish voice from behind Misir. When I turned around, there was Luke, the clan leader of Aldoret Crow, looking up at the three of us with his round, dark green eyes. Behind them was Bittman, who was rated on par with Daryl and Garum among the tanks, and Sova, a multiweapon user who had recently been active in the second army and was temporarily promoted to the first army again in this month's assessment.

　Seeing those three, Misir was inwardly frightened for a moment, but quickly retorted in a frightened manner.


''Hey, isn't that quite a mouthful?''
'I'm the kind of person who wants to pluck the buds that grow out from underneath me. The more I'm pulled out of the infinite circle, the more I'm going to be pulled out of it, right?　It would be a lot of trouble if they pulled any more out of me.
Hey, your eyes aren't smiling at all. That's scary.


　Aldrete Crow, who had maintained the top position from the seventy levels up to this point, was also upset because the highest attainment level was overtaken by the Infinite Circle here. Although the words and actions sounded like a trivial joke, but Luke said such a thing with a rather serious look in his eyes, Missile was unintentionally lost in his reply. And then, as if to help out, Sova grabbed Luke by the scruff of his neck and pulled him up.


'Sorry. Luke is also in a bad mood right now because he's even being held accountable for a lot of things as a clan leader for getting ahead of me in the infinite circle.''
I'm not in a bad mood.
"Bittman.
Oh...


　At Sauva's request, Bittman crouched down in place with a straight face and stood up with Luke on his shoulder. Luke, who was being carried on his shoulder by the taller man, still looked unhappy, but he didn't seem particularly displeased. Seeing such a face of Aldoret Crow, Misir froze with a puzzled face.


''Nah, why are you suddenly on my shoulders?''
I don't know. I don't know, but I hear that getting him up high will put him in a better mood. Well, let's both do our best. The infinite circle has beaten us to it, but we'll catch up soon enough.
Oh, oh.
..........
..........


　With that, Sova finished her story and began to take off the flaxen clothes she was wearing and equip her armor. Garum then looked indescribably at Bittman, who was carrying Luke on his shoulders, but he just nodded with a divine face.


　oooh.


How did this happen?


　The women's changing room, which was moderately crowded at night time, was currently facing a shura. In the midst of all of this, Corina, who had been wiped out again at the ninety level, was trying to finish changing and go outside, and stopped each other from getting between the two people who had created the shura.

　As soon as I left the locker room, there was something noisy around me. And then two women right in front of me started arguing and quickly pulling up and fighting each other, so I couldn't help but intervene and stop them, but the other person was wrong.


'Hey!　You're ruining my life!　I'm going to beat this guy up now!
You're a member of the infinite circle of...
Why, of all things, would these two fight?


　I didn't expect to see Lorena, the famous Silver Beast running healer, and Stephanie, the famed conductor of Aldrete Crow, in a hair-grabbing fight. Corina stood between them, her face pale and lost in thought.

　Corina had originally worked as a nurse taking care of the explorers, a job that could be considered harsh enough to make the current docent-eating process a dodgy one. In addition, she has experience in holding down searchers who are reluctant to be cured, so despite her mild-mannered appearance, she is strong-armed and knows how to hold people down. Therefore, stopping them was not a problem in itself.


''Ah, you're, I believe, the Infinite Circle's...Corina?''
Well, you're a medicine man.
Yeah, that's right. And I don't like to fight.


　Their eyes, which had been swordsmen, gradually subsided as Corrina stepped in between them. And because of the fact that she was being held down precisely so that she wouldn't be violated by a gentle yet powerful hand, the first thing Lorena did was to look like she had regained her composure.


(.........This person is probably not normal. I have to be careful.)


　Lorena, who seemed to be an upright type as far as the start of the fight was concerned, was used to dealing with the situation itself, so it wouldn't be a problem, but Stephanie's movements seemed to suddenly swing from one to a hundred. And looking at the terrifyingly cold eyes, Corrina was reminded of a searcher who had killed people. So he let go of her hand, even as he became more wary of her.


''Yi, what the hell happened?''
He was trying to pick a fight with me.
It all started when you said something funny.


　Since we can't just throw it away here after stopping it, Korina asked the two of them why they came to the fight. But as far as I can tell, it seems to have developed to this point as a result of hitting each other's sore spots.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. But when Lorena mentioned Tsutomu's running healer, the conversation turned sour, and in the end, they got into a fight over something that they had both failed to do recently.


Please refrain from getting into a fight between the two of you, because if you two get into a fight, it will cause a lot of trouble for both of your clans.
All right.
..........


　Lorena sounded somewhat convinced, but Stephanie didn't seem to respond. She just stared at Corina's face and seemed to be thinking about something. You're going to be able to find out what's going on in the world.


'You,'
Well, I better get going!　Well then, I'll leave you to it.


　And before Stephanie could say anything, Corina told her to run away and left. Because she didn't want to take on the task of stopping their fight in the first place, which was too heavy a burden to begin with.


''.........good.''


　She didn't hear the first half of the words, only the last part. But all she could tell was that the voice was very bottomless, so Corina was too scared to turn around and just walked out of the changing room.
