Mr. Corrina!　It's time for you to recover!


　The combat situation in the second army PT has improved since Xeno has tried to eliminate the need to look good in the PT. The main reason for this is that Zeno is now able to voluntarily seek recovery and take on the end of the line in the best possible condition.

　Up until now, the roles of healer and tank hadn't worked well because Xeno had been holding back his injuries for the sake of looking good and making his movements worse, and Corina had been subconsciously avoiding him. But now that the two of them had improved their friction, they were able to function with each other.


'Oh, thank God!'
"Quick wishes, protection.


　The proof of this was now that as soon as Xeno's self-assessment came, the healing prayers he had put in place beforehand had been activated to restore him. Corina had also been able to properly recover against him thanks to the fact that she had predicted the timing of his recovery based on Xeno's self-assessment for the past week.


'Kyah!


　However, the ability to smoothly work together with other PTs is just the minimum requirement for breaking through the ninety levels. With the improvement in their relationship, the second-tier PTs were able to pass the middle stages of the game stably, but they had a hard time in the final stages, where heinous, wide-ranging attacks were launched and petrification and hate management became more difficult.

　They've already challenged the ninety levels more than fifty times, sometimes losing equipment and diving back into the eighty-nine levels, and all of them are over eighty levels. And although they have become skilled enough to deal with the end of the world, they are still unable to break through the ninety levels.


''Well........let's call it a day.
Oh.
Okay, I'll get my coat.


　These days, they're all quite used to being dressed in flaxen clothes and spat out through the black gate, and they're all unconcerned about falling down in a particularly amusing manner. And soon, Amira and Amy are walking out to the changing room, and Corina is dawdling along with them.

　It was as if they had hit a dead end and were stuck. It is true that the battle has become easier due to the improvement in the relationship with Xeno, but even so, I still don't feel that there is any response to break through. In the meantime, Aldrete Crow, who had gone ahead of me, was advancing and advancing, and I was also concerned about the presence of Silver Beast, who was attacking the same level.

　And as Korina tackled the ninety levels over and over again, a certain small change had begun to occur. She blinked repeatedly to confirm it several times, then put her hand to her eyelids.


(I'm getting to see the end of my mortality, too...?)


　Corina has a peculiar set of eyes and senses that can tell when a person is dying, and it is basically reflected by a black haze, or miasma. Whether it's thin or thick enough to identify death, but lately it has begun to be faintly visible even from the end of her life.

　Perhaps it is a hallucination created by my own hope. But if you believe in that feeling, you are not yet ready to defeat the Narrow Gap at this point. Looking at the thickness of the haze and the limits of the hate the healer has received, it's still impossible to break through at this rate.


(...If I had the power like Tsutomu-san and Stephanie-san.


　Korina, who is in charge of being the healer of the second army PT, thinks strongly about that while clutching her flaxen clothes in the changing room with regret. The PT that currently broke through the ninety levels, the main work of the healers is very important. Not to mention Tsutomu, but Aldrete Crow led by Stephanie, who had recreated his standing with such a terrifying persistence, had also broken through the ninety levels as well.

　If I was able to manipulate skills and manage hate with as much precision as the two of them, then I would be able to extend my combat time with the Narrow Gap. That way, the endgame would be easier to pass. However, even if you can get close to the way these two men stand, it's impossible to replicate them in a heartbeat.

　Someone like Tsutomu and Stephanie, who would lead the PT to victory. That's not who I am, at least not now. Corrina, sensing this from the information she got from her dying eyes, looked again at her reflection in the mirror.


(It's no good if you're standing around like Tsutomu-san and Stephanie-san.)


　The two of them had some standings to refer to, but there were too many things that I couldn't replicate right now. If I didn't build my own standings like Silver Beast, instead of a straightforward standings, I wouldn't be able to break through the ninety levels.

　It's not enough to stand around the current healer. Someone who should be the center of the PT rather than myself. The red-haired girl immediately comes to mind. Building a PT in a way that assists it is probably possible with that member of the team. Garum and Amy are old-timers who have been on the front lines, so they're flexible.

　As for Zeno, although he was skeptical at first, he's now revised his reputation as a man who only talks. Such is the means of making the most of him. Corina pulls the document prepared by Zeno's wife out of her magic bag and checks the contents again.


(.....................There are so many ways to make use of Zeno.


　After taking on the same PT more than fifty times to reach the end of his life, in the past week, his dislike for Xeno had disappeared to some extent and he was able to look at him with calm eyes. Therefore, reviewing the document again, there were many discoveries, and Korina forgot to even blink and stared at the document while moving her eyes.





　When my wife gave me the document about Zeno, I must have looked over it, but I hadn't gotten that much information. I read on, feeling unworthy as I realized how I had been looking at Xeno through colored glasses.


'Hey, Korina?　Are we there yet?


　As she was engrossed in reading the previously missed information that was being discovered one by one, she heard a quizzical voice from outside. Corina looks up as if she huffed at the sound of Amira's voice.


'Soooo, I'll be right out!
Get on with it. I'm f*cking starving.


　Hastened by Amira, who sounded less energetic than usual to say if she was really hungry, Corina hurriedly changed and left the changing room. Then she returns to the guild with Amy, who is absent-mouthed and mumbling, and Amira, who seems to have gone home early and had a meal.


''Well then, I'll take my leave now!　See you tomorrow!
Yeah.
You're being too loud!
Good night.
Thanks for your help.


　Leaving Zeno, who had already taken off his equipment and was dressed roughly, the four of them returned to the Clan House of the Infinite Circle. Then, with Garum and Amy talking with each other's weapons in tow, they looked at the side of Amira, who was staring at a stall where her favorite raw food was being sold.

　She looked very much like Camille as she wielded her recently new large sword while turning it into a dragon. But that explosive attack, which occasionally even plays off the attack of the end of its life, naturally draws the eye, and it also possesses an air of dependability. You will definitely have the ability to shine like Tsutomu and Stephanie.

　When I was looking at Amira while thinking about this, she noticed my gaze and turned around. And for some reason, she glared at me with half-lidded eyes.


''Hey, don't buy and eat. You can eat your fill when you get back to the clan house.
Hey, I didn't mean to look at it like that...
'Oh?　This belly is proof that you're buying and eating.
Wait, you can't do that!


　As soon as she quickly moved away from Amira, who squeezed the flesh of her belly, she started to walk forward after she gave me a ridiculous look. Corina followed her, miffed at her.

　Then, on her way back to the clan house for dinner and a bath, Corina was thinking about PT the whole time.


(Is this okay...?)


　I just didn't see it before, but the information itself was already available. Therefore, the PT's standing was quickly solidified in my mind, and I had a feeling that this would work.

　However, this would be a drastic change to the ninety levels of standing that they had built up so far, and they were worried that the PT members would agree with them. So, after finishing dinner, Korina retreated to her room to stew over her thoughts and left early the next morning with her handwritten documents.


Wow.
Oh, good morning.


　As Tsutomu runs with Garum and Daryl early in the morning on a bi-daily basis, Corina waits in front of his room, eating a pastry and waiting for him to come in. She then handed the papers to Tsutomu, who was surprised to find himself at the door and fogging up his skills.


'This is what I'm going to give to the PTs this morning. However, I'm still not confident in its contents.... Could you take a look at it, if you don't mind?
'Oh, yeah.'


　Tsutomu began to look through the papers, returning it in a distracted voice, probably because it was early in the morning. Then she waited for him to finish reading it, even as she watched him widen his eyes and grin as he read it. Then he looked up and handed the document back to her, and Corina asked.


''Well how did you like it?''
As I've said before, I'm not going to dictate the policy of the two armies PT, so I'll have no comment on the content. But if you've gone into this much PT building theory, I'm sure people will see it. Just hand it over with confidence.
Oh, really?
Also, is it true that you've seen the end of your life?
I'm not sure yet, but I think I probably saw it.
Wow. Isn't that awesome?　It's not a unique skill, is it?
'Yes. I checked the status card just in case, but there was no change.


　Then Tsutomu put a hand to his chin as if he were thinking about something, and then he looked at me as if he had a thoughtful look on his face and met my eyes.


"Would you like to trade your eyes with me?
..........
'I wonder if we could do something with the heel technology like this. I'd like to see the monster die too!
Oh, no...?　I don't think it's possible...?
'You'll never know unless you try, will you?　Now come here......... It won't hurt....


　Tsutomu beckoned to him as if he were a ghost. If the other party was a common explorer, even if it was a joke, he might have felt threatened by it. However, since he had won a lot of interpersonal practice against Tsutomu, Korina didn't feel particularly frightened and only kept a little distance between them.


''Well then, I'm going to run outside.
Okay.


　Tsutomu seemed slightly shocked that he was just kept at a distance without moving at all, but he lightly raised his hand and left. After seeing Tsutomu off, Korina went to the living room early with her papers.
