Yesterday's master was very loose. I've never seen a master with so many gaps. Looking back on it now, I know I was just as bad as you, but I didn't expect you to shoulder me.
'I usually feel somewhat uptight, but that wasn't the case yesterday!　I'd rather be that Mr. Tsutomu.
I'm sure it was a nice break for Tsutomu, and Daryl looked quite disheveled at the praise.
No, I didn't.
It was like watching your brothers and sisters, and it made me smile, didn't it?
'Ko-Korina-san too.... Stop it, please.
I was reminded of the fact that Tutum is human.


　Corina and the other PTs were reminiscing about their spur-of-the-moment social event yesterday, but the topic of conversation was gathered around Tsutomu, who looked unusually drunk. Tsutomu occasionally drank in someone's company, but this was the first time he'd ever seen him looking so pleasantly drunk. And the clan members, who were dealt with differently than usual, each said something like that, and sat down at the round table after finishing the PT contract at the guild in the early morning when it was not crowded.

　After that, the women, led by Hannah, continued to talk about yesterday's banquet, but Leleia, who was hassed by Daryl, who looked more and more frazzled as time passed, switched topics.


'About the ninety-two levels, what do you want to do?　I have three days left on my deadline, and I still haven't found a way to save that child.
'I've been thinking a lot on my end, but I don't think that's what it's about. It's safe to say that the child is now at the center of his mortality. There's probably no common sense way to change that.


　Even Diniel, who has a great fondness for Fenrir and his son, can't help but declare that the rescue operation in two days was a series of failures. In the beginning, I thought that I could get even the parents on my side and build a cooperative system, so the rest will be fine, but I was wrong.

　The children's fighting power is not as strong as those monsters, but even so, at the 92nd level, they are right in the middle of the pyramid. Therefore, depending on the situation, he could stick his head into an insectivorous plant and die, and at that time, he once looked at his parents accusingly, staring at the quicksilver and blaming them for what kind of education they were giving him.

　If one of the PT members missed a child even a little bit, she would die easily in a strange way. For example, a lightning strike fired on a whim by a thunder dragon that happened to be flying above the sky somehow hit the child, or a group of monsters fleeing from a rampage elephant barked out enthusiastically and died before they knew it while they were slow to deal with more enemies, and the harder and harder Leleia's eyes got, the more unreasonable she got. There is a lot of death.

　The PT members know from experience that it's tough to go beyond that with normal methods as Diniel says. But I have no idea how to do that, so I crossed my arms in silence, and someone placed their hand on the round table where such a heavy air was flowing.


''You seem to be having a lot of trouble with the ninety-two levels,''
Mr. Pico!
"...Daryl-kun, don't call me names so loudly. It's too embarrassing.
Oh, I'm sorry.


　Pico, known to have a wide knowledge of the labyrinth mania and Xeno's wife, told Daryl with an embarrassed look on her face. She doesn't like being called by her name much, as she is aware that the pretty name Pico doesn't suit her humble self.


''Oh...Oh, you're Xeno's wife?''
Oh.


　Leleia and Hannah, who had only greeted Pico once long ago, turned their eyes to him with a rare look, while Diniel, with a clear face, was drinking the juice he had asked for before he knew it through a straw.


'Pico-san called me. Daryl seemed to have been a part of it a few times, too.
'Thank you for taking me out for a glass of wine with Mr. Zeno!　He told me a lot about the dungeons then, and I'm learning a lot.


　Corina had been introduced by Tsutomu as an excellent labyrinth maniac and Zeno, and Daryl had also sat down with Pico on several occasions when dining with Zeno, so a certain degree of relationship had been established. She took a position in front of Diniel, who was drinking her juice with a bare face, and bent down to look straight into his sleepy eyes.


'Mr. Diniel. You're not the only one who wants to save Fenrir's child. Dozens of labyrinth enthusiasts feel the same way, and that's why I came here today. I don't want to see such a lovely creature killed in the future. So may I take a moment to talk to you?
...Yeah. You can do what you want.
Thank you. Leleia and Hannah, may I have the pleasure?
'That's fine. I certainly wanted to get some input from the labyrinth maniacs.
It's fine.


　After getting permission from the three of them, Pico said a few words of thanks and took a seat, and immediately pulled out some materials from his magic bag.


'I'm putting together two ways to save Fenrir's child this time. One is to use the Safe Point. The other way is to use the monster's transformation.



　Pico shakes his head when Leleia asks with a startled look on his face, but he pulls out some pictures in a cheerful voice. Hannah, who was trying hard not to show an expression that she didn't understand in the midst of such talk, asks Daryl, who was next to her, in a whispered voice.


''.......What's the safe point?''
Yeah, but sure, that could work...


　Leleia and Pico's conversation progressed while Daryl thought it was a blind spot.


'The ninety-two levels are often similar to the forest hierarchy. See, this big tree in the forest safe point and this big tree on the ninety-two level, the shape is very similar, right?　Unlike the forest hierarchy, there are other large trees on the ninety-two level that go beyond this one, so it's hard to tell, but there's a good chance that this interior is a safe point. If it's a safe point, unlike the one near the Black Gate, monsters can enter if they want to, so I think it's possible to evacuate Fenrir's children.
...I see.
'I have an idea of a few other things that might be considered safe points, so I think I can probably hit at least one of them. This is probably the best way you can do it within the deadline, so I hope you'll work on establishing the safe points first.
''........There were other safe points in the forest hierarchy besides the big tree, right?


　He knew that the safe point in the forest hierarchy was a large tree, but he didn't know about the other dense blue areas that were gaping holes in the yellow-green grasslands, or the donut-shaped lakes. As Leleia looked ashamed of her lack of study, Pico said a few words to follow up with her.


'That's exactly what the safepoint in the forest hierarchy is, only the oldest explorers have ever used it. And that's because when God's Dungeon was built about two years ago, the influence of the female explorers had increased a lot. The PTs who use Safe Point to stay in the dungeon all the time are much less likely to use it.


　When God's Dungeon first appeared, the searchers who had already made a name for themselves were all men, and since they didn't care that much about physiological phenomena, Safe Point was often used. At that time, daring to show the act of defecation on the God's table and laughing in the PT, and other foolish flirting like a boy's school often happened.

　However, as other female explorers, led by Amy, an idol, and Camille, whose abilities are recognized by both men and women, grew in their abilities, such vulgar acts were frowned upon and eliminated. As a result, there were few PTs who would use Safe Point anymore, and its information value had also declined.


''And because Leleia-san was so good, you didn't have to go through any trouble to get to the swamp hierarchy, right?　There's no need to be ashamed of any information that you can't utilize for yourself, because it means nothing. I'm sure all the people in this PT are like that, so there's nothing wrong with that. It's also the job of a labyrinth maniac to collect knowledge that is often useless like that.


　Leleia, Daryl, Hannah, and Corina were not old-timers, so they hadn't had much trouble getting through the forest hierarchy, and the same was true for Diniel since he was strong from the beginning. It was precisely because they were such people that they didn't even need to know about the safe points in the forest hierarchy.


''That's right!
''..........Hannah-san might want to learn a little more, though. What do you mean you don't even know the safe point?
No, I've probably used it too!　It's true, now that I think about it, I wasn't attacked by a monster when I was taking a break. But the others... right?
You can't keep doing things on your own.
"Daryl's being mean...


　Pico, who was smiling bitterly at Hanna, who was dreading her blue wings, then spoke of another method. However, this one's method was only a guess, so he spoke in a light tone.


'You know that the Shell Club mutated and became powerful, but do you know why it mutated?
'I'm told they were mutated when the demand for shellcrabs increased and they were hunted in large numbers rapidly.
'Yes. Regarding the mutation of monsters that have been hunted a lot, other monsters such as queen spiders and rotten swordsmen also fall under this category. In particular, monsters that have been hunted a lot in a short period of time will definitely mutate, and they won't be able to understand the tactics they used to use. And as far as the labyrinth maniacs have observed, Fenrir's children seem to mutate at a faster rate.
''...I see. Anyway, letting them die and mutating the child, or would it be easier to call it a growth?
Yes, but this will take some time. But this will take some time, so please use it as a reference only. I've heard from Tsutomu-san that he doesn't have much time to spare.
I see. Thank you very much for your kind words of advice. What would you like to do about the information fee?
''No, it's okay because I've already received it from Tsutomu-san. Besides, I really want to save Fenrir's child, so we are supporting him. If I notice anything else, I'll let you know accordingly.


　With a smile, Pico said that he had another job to do, and he left the guild without so much as a goodbye.


''You've decided on your goal, right?''
Yes. We'll have to check the safe points on the ninety-two levels first.
Ooooh!


　With that, Korina and the other PTs headed to the 92nd level with great enthusiasm, as their goal had been decided.
