390-Boundary of 100 levels




 After that, Tsutomu had been thinking of various ways to persuade him, but he couldn't say it in a light tone, probably because of the seriousness of the request from Garum.


(If Garum could come to him in that tone when he left, it would be troublesome.)


 For the first time here, I'm experiencing the same feelings as Amy, but before I know it, I look at Garum, who is interrupting the searchers and dealing with the reward trouble between them.


(A little more at ease..........but I guess I don't want Garum to be like Leon. If he starts hitting on Amy or something like that, I can't help but laugh. I'd like to see the previous sloppy Misiru at least. (Hannah and Daryl as Lara and Lili)


 Tsutomu imagined Garum becoming like Leon and Misir, and a smile appeared on his face as he hid his mouth. Two dog-ears and one cat-ear reacted at the same time to the laughter that slightly escaped him, but he didn't have anything special to say.


(Well, we'll just do the best we can with this one. I'm still worried about preventing organ resuscitation, but even if I fail, I can start over. ...I'm not going to end up with my failure.)


 While thinking about this, Tsutomu took out the equipment he could get at the ninety levels from his magic bag and changed his clothes while walking, and also prepared his equipment by wrapping the holster containing the precious forest apothecary's potion bottle around his waist.

 Seeing his readiness, Amira's smile deepened, and the surrounding searchers, Aldoret Crow informants, and others began to buzz with the certainty that the Infinite Circle would be diving into the Hundred Levels. And when it was their turn to stand in line at the guild's reception desk to complete the PT contract, Camille popped up from behind the reception desk where the skinheaded man was in charge.


''Looks like we're going to take on the hundred levels again.
There may or may not be a hundred levels ahead.
I'm gonna break through today!
"Huh?


 Amy squeaked out of Amira's side as she was about to speak proudly, and Camille raised her eyebrows in amusement as she turned her attention to Tsutomu, who was behind her. Then he waved his hand in disgust and urged the skinheaded man to get the PT contract done quickly.


'That's fine. I'm not sure if the hundredth level will be the last, right?
''If a hundred levels are the last, we haven't even made good progress in investigating the Snowfield Hierarchy yet, so everyone will be diving into the God's Dungeon.
I know, but does it matter if you can see the endpoint or not? There are a lot of explorers who want to see beyond God's dungeon first.
...Well, new ones are important, though.


 To Tsutomu, who said that with a sullen look, the skinhead receptionist made a surprising face as she proceeded to process the PT contract with her status card.


''Oh? I would have thought Tutom would have said it's the same with or without those guys.
We should get rid of those pest seekers who cause damage to the surroundings, but there's no need to destroy the harmless dream chasing insects. And when they grow up, they may become beneficial insects or eye-catching butterflies.
Well I'm not sure the explorer would like that idea either.


 While returning a bitter smile to Tsutomu, who spoke rather rudely while looking at Amy with a serious face, he finished the PT contract for the five of them and led them towards the magic circle with his hand.


''Well let's try to do good so that I can be a beneficial insect as well.
What kind of good deed is that?


 He stood there after nodding at the end of the line to the magic circle while prodding that to Garum, who was secretly listening to the conversation behind him, and finally nodded at the PT members.


'Transition to the hundredth level.


 With those words, Tsutomu and the others' vision darkened and they were transferred to the land of a hundred levels.


 oooh.


 As soon as Tsutomu's designated hierarchy became known, the majority of the surrounding searchers began to hurry up and secure seats near the first platform. In the midst of all this, Camille, the head of the guild, had already made a seat at the reception desk, where she could easily see the first platform, when Tsutomu and the others had finished their PT contracts.

 It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're doing.


''Hmm, are you sure you don't want to dive today?


 Camille spoke to the boy who had just secured a special seat and was unusually alone and looking at the first table. Luke, an Aldoret Crow who was still a boy in appearance only due to the influence of the half-elf, locked eyes with her as she peeked out from the counter.


'Stephanie's feeling a bit under the weather, you know. It looks like we won't be able to break through without her...''
'That wouldn't be a reason for Luke not to take on a hundred levels. Has he already lost the spirit to overtake the unique skill holder?
'I don't want to hear that from someone who's already been passed over by my daughter.
 Luke, who had been living in the labyrinth city since the opening of the divine dungeon, had a humble relationship with Camille, who was the wife of the then head of the guild and a successful explorer at the same time. He looked behind him while passing off Camille's mild provocation.


''And ... it seems I'm not the only one who's uncomfortable with it.
..........
Well!


 Luke looked ahead to the Red Demon Weiss, who was still as expressionless as ever, and the Golden Examining Leon, who had heard them with his wolf ears and moved quickly. A year or so ago, these faces would have caused an uproar within the guild if they were aligned, but now, the searchers who were paying attention to them were only some of them.

 Camille, who invited these old-timers to the special seat, took a glance at the blazing old dragon and Tsutomu, who was restoring support to the PT members projected on the first platform, and then looked around at the three of them again.


''A familiar face now, how would it be rude to say that?''
Camille, if you say that, you're done for, aren't you?
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you doing the same thing.
Come on, man, let's make friends with the old guard.
You're the one who uprooted me from the Mutant Shell Club.
"I only invited you according to the hierarchy you reached. I have no ulterior motive.


 The three of them looked at each other at Weiss's abrupt words. Among them, only Luke was the only one who had broken through the ninety levels, and the other three hadn't even come close to attacking yet. Even among them, when it came to the golden investigation, it was already rumored that they would be replaced by a mid-level clan, and Leon was no longer in a position to laugh.


''........At that rate, it won't be long before the Infinite Circle conquers a hundred levels.''
Tsutomu didn't seem to be keen on it, but I hear the four of you are going to break through this time?
Well that's a surprise.


 Weiss, who was genuinely surprised to hear a few faltering words, looked up at the first platform with his arms crossed as if to block Luke's gaze, who was looking at him with an unexpected look.


"Combat Cry.


 Garum's uncanny face emitted a red fighting spirit, and he received the blood weapon of the Blazing Old Dragon all over him. But the way he handled his attacks was more refined than the first time I saw him, and he served as a loyal tank in a way that was less likely to take damage.

 Daryl is now assisting Amira, who is being targeted by her blood alter ego, but he is more boarded up and stable than before. Trusting in Daryl's protection, Amira was able to attack the blood alter ego with all her might, so the speed of defeating it has increased compared to last time.

 And because of the achievements of the last time, Amy, who was entrusted with the destruction as well as the muscle cutting of organs, is moving around like a fish in water. Tsutomu, who flew his support skills to her, was applying his recovery skills to Garum and Daryl accordingly while giving her instructions from time to time.

 The infinite circle was off to a better start than before. But Luke was still skeptical of Camille's statement.


'It's true that they all seem to be making good moves, but I don't think they're going to be able to break through with this. The problem would be undead allies and endgame recovery, and I don't think they've been dealt with just this time. ........Well, I'm still afraid that Tsutomu might be able to handle it.
'I suppose it's just in case, too. There's no denying the possibility that it could happen. That's why Luke and the others came to see it, right? Maybe today we'll find out if God's dungeon will continue or end.
Yeah.
..........


 With that being said, while Leon was silent with an indescribable look on his face, the regenerating liver of the blazing old dragon was destroyed again. And when the signs of undeadness that determined the previous defeat were seen from the blazing old dragon, Tsutomu was the first to move.
