(It would be easier if that made it a hundred levels of inactivity, but it looks like it's only a little bit of a blip on the radar by the looks of it. (It doesn't look like it's going to be like before anymore.)


　While looking back at Stephanie, who didn't go crazy like before and just seemed to be holding back tears, Tsutomu repeatedly surrounded his heels with a barrier to get used to them in his room and then turned them off.

　Tsutomu is hoping that there is something in the Hundredth Level that has never been seen before, based on the abnormal strengthening of the blazing old dragon and the fact that he was forced to leave the dungeon. And now that I can tolerate a certain amount of fear of death, I no longer need the human pillars.

　The only person I have to be most aware of among them is Stephanie. That's why it would have been easier if she broke down mentally, but she had already broken away from her followers, so she probably didn't do that much damage.


(If it comes to this, I guess I'll just have to play with my abilities now. It's already 'Live Dungeon! (I don't feel like I'm going to lose because I can take the means to learn by dying like that, but I wish I'd nipped my anxiety in the bud.


　Having been forced to face the fear of death for nearly half a day, I have built up some tolerance for death. The fact that I still don't want to die is the only thing that doesn't change, but I've gotten to the point where I can accept that it's inevitable if I'm pushed into a corner.

　If that's the case, I won't have to stand around like a bind-player who absolutely avoids death like before, so even if the Blazing Old Dragon is a dungeon-level dragon, I'll still be able to find a strategy.


(If you try several more times to get the information, you can capture it, even if it's a blazing old dragon. The problem is what comes after that........ The only thing I'm concerned about is whether we'll be able to return to the top 100 levels.


　From the look of that elaborate reinforcement, we can expect something to happen after attacking a hundred levels. Either the path back to reality will open up or we're not there yet. As for Tsutomu, he honestly doesn't change the fact that he doesn't like either path that opens up.

　If the path to return home opens up, then I will have to leave the world of dreams with my friends that I have known for almost two years. If you can't find your way back, you'll spend your life without the fear of being returned to reality unexpectedly, or the frustration of having to return to reality instead of being immersed in such a lukewarm dream.

　But if the way to return to reality opens up, then I can't just say thank you for everything you've done for me and leave right away. Although he had already arranged for the infinite circle to turn even if he was left out, it would be too irresponsible.

　That's why Tsutomu used the funds he earned from dungeon exploration to create 'Live Dungeon! He was ready to use his knowledge of the Gs to earn a huge amount of Gs and build up land, real estate, and other assets that he was finally ready to transfer to his clan members. He already had enough funds to pass on at least enough G to feed everyone for the rest of his life.

　And I've also thought of a legacy for each clan member. For example, I can see a future where Hanna will definitely be ruined if I give her all at once, so I'm transferring her assets in such a way that she transfers a certain amount of money to her account every month. Amy doesn't need the assets themselves anymore, so I'm planning to transfer the dungeon-grown materials needed to make cosmetics and beauty products to her. In that way, I have prepared a suitable legacy for each of the nine people.

　I'm going to transfer the assets that are left over after paying the clan members who took me to the hundredth level to the old woman in the forest apothecary, Camille and other people who have taken good care of me, and I've written down all the other detailed inheritance terms and conditions and saved them in the guild's vault so there won't be any strange disputes. .

　As for my own healer substitute, I was going to choose one at first, but I didn't prepare it because I thought it would be less trouble if the remaining clan members prepared it. Instead, I've left behind a technical book filled with my own healer life, and the three apprentices will be able to pioneer the healer community in the future. There is no need for me to be on the front lines anymore.


(Everyone's a 'live dungeon!' (Was this what it was like when he retired?)


　Until the end, "Live Dungeon! Tsutomu, who remained at the same time as the original owner, often received retirement gifts from his friends who had decided to retire for various reasons, such as taking an entrance exam, getting a job, getting married, etc. His only thought was that he didn't need the items to send them off, so he didn't understand how his friends felt until he became a part of them. But when he was in the position to retire, he realized that he didn't understand his friends' feelings until he was in the position to do so.

　Retirement is an inherent part of netgee, and there will come a day when everyone stops playing. But the explorers in this world will continue to explore dungeons in the future. This is the kind of netgee without retirement that Tsutomu has been looking for, and it may be fun too. But I can't bear the guilt of continuing to turn away from reality, after all.


(I never thought I'd see the day I'd retire outside of the end of the operation, but maybe this is for the best.)


　Tsutomu is his own "Live Dungeon! I couldn't decide to retire from I felt that if I did, all the time I'd spent and all the items and memories I'd been entrusted with by my retired friends would be wasted.

　But maybe coming to this world had paid off a bit. At least two years ago, alone in "Live Dungeon! Unlike that time when I was playing the game, I can look at retirement in a positive light.


(I'd have to laugh if this wasn't the way home, but then I guess I'd have to work hard to keep reality in the back dungeon again. Just a little retirement ahead of me.)


　A fine blue feather given to me by Hanna some time ago. As he spun it around, Tsutomu listened to the voices of the clan members who were still talking with their colleagues with a dazed look on their faces as they secretly asked a craftsman to turn it into a quill pen.
