We're going to work out today.


　Hannah, who seemed to be more energetic than before the next day, declared that after eating a grueling breakfast. Seeing that she didn't seem to be dragging Fenrir around anymore, Tsutomu smiled with a reassuring smile on his face.


(It would be bad enough if she went under for some strange reason.)


　To be honest, when I found out that Hanna was affected by Fenrir's tragedy and got sick and caught a cold, I was tongue-tied inwardly in a grand way and thought that he was an idiot and would catch a cold. But Tsutomu knew that it would be foolish to blame a clan member when he was absent sick, 'Live Dungeon! I was learning in

'Live Dungeon!' It had been three years since Tsutomu had played the game, and he was a cripple. when an old friend and clan member told him in a chat room that he was going to withdraw from the TA tournament due to his poor health.

　But Tsutomu didn't understand why he was withdrawing from the tournament. At that time, Tsutomu, who was in the center of the clan that focuses on efficiency, was not only doing miscellaneous clan work, but he also shared with the PT members the content of practice and countermeasures for the TA tournament. Why did he become unwell, even though he was definitely the busiest person in the clan from an objective point of view, and why did he go so far as to withdraw from that as well?

　It wasn't unusual for Tsutomu, who hadn't slept for three days and three nights, to catch a cold and get a fever, but "Live Dungeon! There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't log in to I couldn't forgive my friend for being so naive, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure why you have to miss the tournament because of your health condition.

　Through Tsutomu's persistent persuasion, Friend participated in the TA tournament. However, he ended up losing miserably, and after that day, he didn't come back to log in again. Of course there were other reasons for him to retire, but the fact that he was accused by Tsutomu was the deciding factor.

　Still, at that time, I thought that if I was going to retire at this level, he would have retired anyway, but by the time I left the efficiency-oriented clan, I was regretting what I had done.

　It was something he could understand if he put himself in his place in the first place. The friend who was following Tsutomu, who was on the verge of becoming a cripple, would have understood the importance of TA tournaments. Nevertheless, he chose to withdraw from the event due to his poor health. The guilt that fell on him must have been tremendous. He was ashamed of his own inadequacy because it was something he loved to play, and his spirit might have been weakened by his poor health.

　If Tsutomu, who was in a strong position within the clan to push back against that, it's easy to imagine that he would be crushed by guilt and retire. But I wasn't able to imagine that at the time, and I only ended up lashing out in anger. If I had been able to follow up with my friends at the time and not blame them, I might have avoided retirement.

　Because of such a bitter experience, Tsutomu didn't blame Hannah for taking sick leave. Rather, he put a lot of effort into making it easier for her to return to work, with a kindness and care that would normally be unthinkable.


''Hmph. That was no big deal, Master.''
'What?　Is that, um, that one?
I guess so. I knew Daryl was just too sensitive~


　I just didn't understand why Hannah was snapping at me in a big way about yesterday, and the fact that Amy was looking at me like I'd done something again. Even though I was reminded of my past and cared so much about it, the person in question is in that state of mind.


'In the first place, Hannah is a bird person, right? You don't have ears sprouting from your head, unlike Daryl, so don't complain about it.


　When I uttered that, partly because I was inwardly exasperated as I folded the newspaper I was reading in the stream, Hannah approached me with an interesting look in her eyes as if she was looking at something interesting.


''If I were a dog person, I don't think I'd go that far, though~''
'Heh, so you want to give it a try then?'
'Oh?　Are you sure?　Yesterday wasn't even close, so I'm sure it will only embarrass Master.


　I was tempted to give Hannah a chop as she looked up at me with a provocative upward glance, but I thought she would easily avoid me and make me look foolish, so I just let my hands goop. And then I took a position in front of her, who was looking so smug and smug.

　I've heard about Hannah from the woman who managed her at Aldoretto Crow, and I've been living under the same roof for nearly a year now, so I know her well.

　Hannah's bottomless cheerfulness, combined with the gaps that come from her weak head, makes her well-liked by her peers as well as the opposite s*x. However, her large breasts, which are visible even through her loose clothing, attract the opposite s*x, for better or worse, and she had a lot of dangerous moments when she was raised in a village and was unrefined.

　But after a while in Aldoret Crow, Hannah had learned how to handle the men who came up to her. Apparently, the female manager who was present when she interviewed Hanna to get her into the infinite circle had planted it in her mind, and as a matter of fact, Tsutomu had been thought to be a guy who was just looking for a body at first.

　But after making a name for himself as an avoidance tank, the female manager seemed to trust him and asked him a lot of questions about Hannah. She said she was particularly detailed about her relationships with the opposite s*x.


'Huh?'


　When I put my hand in to insert it through my side hair, which was blue and breezy from being well-kept, Hannah was surprised that I hadn't expected that.


'If it doesn't matter if you're a dog person, then it doesn't matter if they touch your ears, does it?
No, that's okay.


　Hannah is accustomed to dealing with the opposite s*x who give her a condescending look and try to hit on her for her body. She has enough time to tease Daryl, whose eyes are sometimes suspicious, and at first glance, she would even seem to be used to interacting with the opposite s*x.


''........................Ugh, gug.


　But Hannah only knows how to handle men, not that she's actually familiar with them. That has been confirmed by her female manager. But the fact is, she's not the only one who knows how to do this, so how can she withstand having her ears touched head-on by Tsutomu, a man of the opposite s*x, even if he's a close friend of hers, which would make even a normal person feel nervous?

　After all, it doesn't matter what Tsutomu's stroking skills are, there is no way that Hannah can withstand this situation. Tsutomu's prediction came true, and he spoke to her with a teasing smile.


"Hannah, do you think she looks worse than Daryl right now?
Oh, no, that's not true...
'Come on Daryl, look at you. Isn't he all red?
'Oh, yes. I certainly do.


　When he let go of Hannah's hand, whose face was becoming redder and redder as Daryl's calmly pointed out, Tsutomu fluttered his hands with a look of exasperation on his face.


'Don't get too carried away when you learn from this.
'Uh-uh-uh!


　Hanna just let out a high-pitched scream, and after a grand scramble on the way up, she disappeared up the stairs as if she were running up. Tsutomu then got a light tug on his ear from Amy as he went to the guild, but 'Live Dungeon! I didn't regret it because I was in
