Hmm....


　The Aldrete Crow informants, the man who is a Eunice guesser among them, drank the lemon water from his alarm and took a breath. You can't see his face because of the deep hood he wears, but you can hear the fatigue in his voice.

　Behind the man is a line of informants dressed in the same clothes, and they are ordering lemon water from a food cart. It's a very strange scene, but the residents and the security team are already used to it, or perhaps they don't seem to be reacting in particular.

　And the man who finished the lemon water and returned the metal cup to me sighed bluntly as he put the Shintai at the edge of his vision.


(Those idiots in the upper echelons. I never thought they would let an army do something like that whimsically.)


　It was too barren to have an army search for five days for something that hadn't even been determined to be there, such as a hidden passage on the ninety-sixth level. How much profit would the current army led by Stephanie be able to make if the current one army, led by Stephanie, had a solid activity in God's dungeon for five days? Perhaps the others would see that they were the breadwinners of Aldoret Crow's activities.

　Especially in recent years, corporate sponsors have become more active, and now some of them are just beginning to follow Amy's lead and sponsor individuals. Aldoret Crow also has a constant stream of sponsorship requests for Stephanie personally. Right now, the deal is across the Clan, but there is no telling when a Clan member will become independent.

　Didn't anyone in the upper echelons question the use of a single army to search for tedious hidden passageways that the spectators would never see in such circumstances? Besides, the information on the hidden passages was classified as less important. There should be plenty of other useful information that the intelligence officers had obtained from observing the ninety-six levels in the divine platform.

　There had been times in the past when they had questioned the choices made by the upper levels, but the information they had prepared was never despised. That's why, as an intelligence officer, I couldn't ignore the latest outburst, and over the past few days I've thoroughly investigated the upper echelons of the company.

　It turned out that some people who had apparently taken advantage of the Stampede deaths to gain the support of the rebels had infiltrated the upper echelons of the government. It appeared that these people had taken the lead in the meetings for this decision.

　The minutes of the meeting seemed to have been heavily tampered with, so I asked my friends in the upper echelons, and they were terrible. It seems that a man who worked in the castle in King's Landing proudly explained the structure of the hidden passage from which the king was escaping, and the people around him were swept away by the momentum of the meeting and decided to search for the hidden passage. As expected of a native of the capital, he is good at laying the groundwork.


(I can't be doing all the field work, can I?)


　Although his main job is to gather information by observing the God's Table that explorers see, if he had paid attention to the situation in the clan and cooperated with others, he could have prevented something like this from happening.

　He was just a mere informant who ran around Kamidae day and night, but he had been active in that activity before Aldoret Crow formed, so he had a wide range of faces anyway. He had already taken steps to deal with the matter of the upper echelons by using his relationships to collude with various people, but his dark mood had never been cleared.

　After that, he went to the guild with the colluding clan members and waited for the return of the first army members Bittman, Dorsia, and Luke, who were gathering materials on the ninety-one level while looking at the divine table. And when the three of them called out to him as soon as they returned from the guild's black gate, Luke rolled his eyes.


''Huh?　What's going on?　It's very unusual for you to be here.


　He had been an old acquaintance of Luke's since he was originally recruited by Luke to join Aldoret Crow. And he pokes Luke in the head for saying such a thing with a dumb face.


'What do you think you're joking about? You're probably aware of the fact that the upper echelons of Aldoret Crow are in bad shape right now. Don't stay in God's dungeon forever escaping reality, do your duty as a clan leader.
"...What?　No, I'm not.
Don't listen to them. Just get me to the Clan House once.


　The secretary of the woman who had brought him in lifted him from under his armpits and Luke was taken away before he had time to say anything. Bittman looked a little surprised, but he knew the face of the informant and the secretary, so he wasn't particularly worried and didn't go after Luke.


'Bittman, Dorcia. After the break, I'd like you to dive into the ninety-sixth level and try this method from above.
I'm fine with that, but are you okay with that?
Don't worry about us. I've already taken care of it.
All right. I'll go try it right now. You don't mind if Dorsia does too?
Yes, sir.


　Dorsia, who answered immediately with her eyes like a speechless doll, said nothing in particular and began to prepare. Then the two of them quickly dived into the 96th level to try out the strategy according to the notes the informant had given them, and the second method that had been presented to them really showed a different change from the past.

　The competition between Aldoret Crow's informants, and those concerning the Divine Table, was fierce. In the first place, a divine platform could be seen by anyone living in the Labyrinth City, so it was possible to become a labyrinth maniac as soon as one wanted to do so.

　And even though he describes them as labyrinth maniacs, it does not mean that he misunderstands their abilities. In fact, he does procure information from labyrinth maniacs, and there are prospects that this number will increase in the future. It is clear that a huge number of viewers are becoming labyrinth maniacs and will eventually threaten the position of the informants.

　That's why the informants are observing Kamidae with all their might and are more serious than anyone else about examining the information and making it useful to the searchers. The days of feathering won't last for a few more years, and if they didn't build up their abilities now, they could see the future of being left behind.

　Besides, the intelligence officers were determined to fight against Tsutomu's blatant cover-up. They had the guts to cover up something so obvious to the public that they weren't afraid of being criticized, and their concealment was more sophisticated than anything I'd ever seen before. I was astonished that I, more than anyone else, had been able to obtain so little information about the Godai, and the same was true for the other informants.

　However, I thought this was a good opportunity to show the value of the informants, and unlike the labyrinth maniacs who criticized and spooned Tsutomu, the informants were desperate to investigate.

　The information collected and scrutinized by such people worked together and bore fruit, and after several rounds of scrutiny by Bittman and his team, the strategy for the 96th level was discovered.

　From then on, Aldoret Crow officials who had seen the movement of the army in Kamidae, which completely ignored the intentions of the upper echelons, did make a move, but since they had already taken steps such as rooting around, there was no interference. After that, the ninety-sixth level strategy was analyzed by Bittman and Dorsia's verification, and the Clan House produced documents summarizing the information in sequence.


(.........an unusual combination.)


　It was at this point that the information man witnessed the sight of Eunice and Lorena eating lunch together in the guild, and for a moment he stared at them as if he had forgotten everything. But that was short-lived, and he concentrated on his own work.


'You're back,'


　And when Stephanie and Sova returned after investigating the ninety-sixth level, the informant man called out to them and told them the strategy he had obtained through consideration and verification.


　oo


'Oh?　I thought you didn't have any grandiose intentions, Amira?
I'm going to kill you.


　It's a good thing that Tsutomu and the other PTs managed to break through the goblin army guarding the black gate at the 91st level, and they easily broke through the 92nd level as well. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in a situation where you're not going to be able to get through.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market. And Tsutomu, who had arranged for Fenrir to be in such a situation, looked at her with amusement as she stared at him with eyes filled with murderous intent.


''Ah.''


　However, when he saw the scene of Aldoret Crow's PT on the first stand, feeding the stone statue dragon a magic stone on the ninety-sixth level, Tsutomu stopped teasing Amira, who was red up to her ears, and stared at it as if he was devouring her.


(You noticed. It would have been so much easier if I'd been looking for hidden passages all the time.)


　I stare at Aldoret Crow, who seems to have noticed the basic system of the ninety-sixth level, while narrowing my eyes like a line. The ninety-sixth level is, in short, like the defensive battle of an old castle. Utilizing the dragon defense weapons in the north and south, defeating the monsters approaching from the outside and defeating the last boss monster will open the key to breaking through the hierarchy.

　Just "Live Dungeon! There were no written instructions in this world that conveyed the defensive warfare that existed in Therefore, Tsutomu carefully concealed this system and ensured that no information leaked out of the Infinite Circle. Thanks to that, Aldoret Crow's army didn't know how to advance the 96 levels, and the hierarchy update was stopped in a flash.


(Well, we won't have to worry about it for a while since the real work is just beginning.


　At the 91st level of the old castle hierarchy, you will be forced to fight against the army in an offensive battle, and at the 96th level, you will be forced to fight against the old castle in a battle that has never been done before. Because of this, it will take some time to get used to the battle system at the 91st and 96th levels because the conventional fighting methods are not applicable.

　Tomorrow, Stephanie and her team will start attacking the 96th level in earnest, but they will have a hard time fighting while defending the old castle. However, since the existence of Bittman, a former military man, is a concern, we can't take it too easy. We should proceed with updating the hierarchy as soon as possible ourselves.


(Since we had no problems capturing the 92nd level, we can proceed to the 96th level in a jiffy. It would be just the right time to beat Daryl's and the others' asses who were slow to attack, and once Hannah's cold is gone, I'll make a full-fledged awareness of it).


　This was the first time that a clan member had ever been absent from work due to illness, so I was worried, but I already knew from the doctor's diagnosis that Hannah had a minor cold. Besides, Korina, a former nurse, has been taking care of her, so she should be fine in a few days.


I don't know what the hell you're talking about. What the hell are you doing?
'Yeah, I was also heartbroken about Fenrir's hot father-son relationship-- yikes!　How hard did you try to break through the barrier or something!
Die.


　Amira, who effortlessly broke through the barrier and dropped her fist to her head, simply spat that out without seeming to be offended at all.
