(It's all just a bunch of silly psychology.)


　There has been a lot of discussion about PT construction for searchers for a long time, but Stephanie sincerely thought so when she saw a labyrinth enthusiast's view in the morning paper: trust, cooperation and morale among PT members. That is also a necessary part of the PT.

　But now, in Stephanie's theory of PT construction, which even allows her to have an opinion on Aldrete Crow's first-string selection, there were things to consider before that.


(Trust, it wouldn't be hard if the PT worked on trust, cooperation alone. In the end, you're just trying to plug the holes in the PT with that neatness. (If that's the case, then you can have PT members with no holes from the beginning, and then improve their coordination and other skills afterwards.)


　That there were no holes in the PT members. She felt strongly when she saw the two armies of the Infinite Circle that were still competing at the ninety levels, and those who had formed a PT because they admired the Silver Beast. That kind of mentality was important, but it was something to think about after creating a PT with no holes. A cup with a hole in it won't hold water for victory.

　The current infinite circle is moving around to plug the hole that is Zeno, and it doesn't have the fear that Amira on a ride or Amy in a dragonization knot showed before. It's true that Xeno is probably the most inferior of those members, and there's no doubt that he's currently a hole in the PT.

　However, in terms of Aldoret Crow, he had the ability to bite into a higher-ranking army from the beginning, and the intelligence officer reported that he was moving beyond the realm of an ordinary person in the Winter General battle. And as far as the battle at the 90th level was concerned, Stephanie knew that he was a useful tank.

　The fact that Xeno had moved beyond his limits in the Winter General battle was probably partly due to Tsutomu's perfect support recovery. But Stephanie could sense the strong will at his roots.


(It's enough to make you look good if you can push through to that point and fulfill your role as a tank. And you can use that ridiculous cheerfulness and self-sacrificing spirit unlike any other, which dares to laugh even in difficult situations. In fact, Tsutomu-sama made use of him. (It may look like a hole, but it's not, and if you don't realize that, you'll stumble a lot in the endgame.


　Amy's efforts to plug the pretend hole that is Zeno have been slowing her down. She's calling the shots like a leader due to her wide vision, which is probably better suited to Xeno. Amy's use of her skills has become much more refined recently, and combined with her skillful job as a twin swordsman, she has now been transformed into a strength attacker. It's not a good idea to leave her to rot by giving her instructions.

　Garum's thoughts are also distracted by the fact that he is oddly focused on Xeno. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has been a searcher for a long time. Her movements have become modest as she is pulled by these two.

　Even so, the two armies of the Infinite Circle PT have picked up to some extent in the past week, but it's not worth fearing. If that's the case, the Silver Beast, which is full of holes, but continues to push forward into new things one after another, could be a virtual enemy.


(Corina your abilities as a prayer are great, but do you have little experience as a healer?　It's hard to believe that he is a healer in the same clan as Tsutomu-sama, but his commanding ability is so low. ........or is it that spirit?)


　Corina's abilities are remarkable. She uses her dying eyes to eliminate the disadvantage of slow resuscitation of the prayer warrior, and the quality of her supportive recovery has reached a level that makes her an acceptable healer. That's probably higher than Aldoret Crow's second-tier healer, Kisaragi.

　But he is less skilled in command, which is one of the tasks in a healer with a wide field of vision. There may be more than a certain amount of it, but the difference is stark when compared to its eye-catching support recovery and resuscitation. Even Aldrete Crow has them sometimes, but they seem to be growing in a self-sacrificing healer mentality.


(Power does not reside in those without the will. If you don't ask hard enough, you'll be strong, strong...)


　Before I met Master Tsutomu, I too was just a woman who was swept away by those around me. But after I finished my apprenticeship and was handed that paper, I was able to change. The reason why I was able to voice my secret opinion to the people around me was because I wanted to follow the path that Master Tsutomu showed me. And now that I've finally made it, Master Tsutomu is ahead of me.


(I've made up the best PT I can. A PT without any holes that can break through the ninety levels.


　Stephanie, like Tsutomu, was also developing the other PT members. Among them, Bittman and Luke, and as for the new female tank who had come in, she was now so well developed that she would do whatever he ordered her to do. And he had been thinking about Sova as well, but he had heard that he had been changed by Master Tutom. He told me so, and when he actually came up to the army, my heart was racing.

　The fact that the Sover that Master Tsutomu had brought back to life was a PT that I and Master Tutomu had created together. And the fact that he had a rough time in front of Tsutomu-sama isn't taken that seriously either.

　That's why we can't lose to other clans with this PT. If we lose in the joint PT we created with Tsutomu-sama for the first time, then we can't face Tsutomu-sama. I have to prove that I'm the best.


(Absolutely, I'll be the first to catch up. After all, this PT has Tutom-sama's will in it. (I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.


　At least if it's a divine platform, and if it's a divine dungeon, Tsutomu-sama will definitely only look at me. Even if I'm uncomfortable, even if he sees me as a freak, that's the only thing that won't change. And imagining the face of Tutom-sama when she caught up with him first, Stephanie left the clan house in the still-darkness, ruffling the skills that were floating around her.


　oo


"...hmm?　It's kind of loud.


　The next day. Led by Tsutomu, who was on track to break through the ninety-fifth level, I could see that the searchers were buoyant as one army PT of the Infinite Circle returned to the guild. As I walked through the crowd while using the large-bodied Daryl as a shield, I saw Aldoret Crow frolicking on the first platform.


''Ah, we've broken through.''


　From the reflection of the light and dark guard demon stone, I knew that he had sent down the end of his life. Luke is being hoisted up by the summoned golem, Sova, and Bittman. And a female tank crawling in front of Stephanie's eyes for some reason, breathing hard. As Tsutomu is startled by the moderately chaotic scene, an image from the god's table shows Stephanie.

　Stephanie, who at one time had been diving into the divine dungeon with an expression that could be described as the face of a beast driven to the brink of death, and her peach-colored hair was shaggy. But now she's in a state of minimal grooming and expression. It is oddly the same as the greeting she gives in her room in the morning and night.


'I'll catch up with you,'
(Scary)


　There was only one destination for Stephanie to catch up with, and furthermore, she also felt the inexplicable thing behind that smile. And Tsutomu, who averted his gaze from her with a noticeable shade, quickly dispersed from the guild.


''Aldoret Crow, you've broken through........''
Yeah.
...as you expected?
'Well. I thought maybe Silverbeast would be a possibility, but I'm a little suspicious of Lorena.


　As far as Lorena's condition on the divine table, the smile had disappeared from her face. There was no way she could smile happily while she had been losing all the way to the end of her life and feeling the difference between her and Stephanie, who she considered a rival.


'That guy doesn't seem to be having fun lately. It's like.......he should be running more freely.
"Law.
What's that?
No?　I just thought Hannah was starting to say something interesting. Come to think of it, I'm pretty much like Lorena in some ways.


　The vastness of the sky is scary, but from Hannah's point of view, who feels cramped in the birdcage as well, I wonder if she feels sorry for Lorena for not being able to run freely. But the ground is essential for running freely. There is no way anyone can run freely in the mud.


The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that I'm not going to have time to worry about the Silver Beast, either. I'm sure that Aldrete Cloak will catch up with us soon, so we'll just keep going until we reach the top of the hierarchy.
Wow, it's cold.
'Even though we were allied for a time, we are now a clan that is located in the enemy. There is no need to send salt to the enemy.
I don't care.
You know, they're all cold...
'I'm sure I'm a little concerned about it on the inside, so I'll be fine. ........maybe.


　Tsutomu only snickered in response to Daryl's mutterings.
