(I came back like a normal person, but that's okay, right?　I'm sure you'll be able to get home safely later, right?　No, there's no way I could physically enter the place at that time. If this is the decision to stay in this world all the time, it's going to be pretty tough. (Even the quintessential shit management wouldn't go that far, would they?


　After all, Tsutomu, who had returned safely to the guild in the end, walked after Garum, who was casually stepping forward to guard him, even though he was increasingly impatient inwardly about the situation.


''Congratulations on breaking through!　By the way, about the Black Gate--
That black gate didn't open?
Congratulations!　That's awesome!
'Is there likely to be more than a hundred levels to go!
Hey!　Out of the way!　I need you to let me through!


　Breaking through the hundred levels of the Infinite Circle. And perhaps because the prospect of the divine dungeon going forward could be seen from the divine platform, there was a rush of happy explorers and reporters underneath Tsutomu and the rest of the PT. The inside of the guild was truly in a terrible state of panic.

　While all of the guild staff held down the crowded guild, Tsutomu and the others rushed out of the guild and took refuge in the clan house before the commotion could spread.


''Hanna and the others were in the guild, right?　It was a form of leaving it behind, but...
I don't know.
'If you go out with us here, you'll only create unnecessary confusion. Besides, they'll come back eventually.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to take a break.


　While the three of them were talking like that, Amy left it at that and ran up the stairs at a fast pace to her room. The three of them, who just seemed to be buoyed by the breakthrough of a hundred levels and the fact that there was more to come, didn't pay attention to the fact that they were proposing a banquet to Oli.


(.........Masakana)


　Training with Tsutomu doesn't cause Amy to show her face when her mental strength is too reduced, but the tail behind her gets hefty. If she used her skills until her mental strength was insufficient after she returned to the guild, then what was it?

　Feeling a little bad, Tsutomu quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Amy's room.


'You don't seem to be feeling well, are you okay?'
Oh, it's okay.
'That's due to a lack of mental capacity, isn't it?　There's a blue potion for you to drink.
Yeah.


　While exchanging such a conversation, he opened the door and found Amy sitting on the bed, clearly acting suspiciously. Tsutomu then quietly closed the door and looked at the clear equipment on the bed.


'You appraised that, didn't you?'
'What?　Oh, yeah. Yeah.
..........


　Not knowing what to say to Amy, Tsutomu fell silent. Perhaps she had appraised the clear equipment and learned of its abilities. From the somewhat bland conversation earlier, Tsutomu's premonition was beginning to turn into a conviction.

　But maybe Amy hadn't touched on the core information yet. Just as she didn't know all of her abilities when she appraised the black cane, there were things that she didn't know even with her appraisal skills. Tsutomu couldn't speak at all, thinking that he might give that hint with the words he uttered.


''Oh, what about the blue potion?''
Oh, here you go.


　Tsutomu pulled a small bottle of blue potion that he had left for himself from a clasp on his waist and handed it to me. Amy took it fearfully and began sipping it.

　The two people who have known each other the longest have never experienced this kind of distance. But even so, Tsutomu is unable to move, as he may step on a land mine if he proceeds on his own.

　Then, after finishing the blue potion and recovering her mental strength, Amy returned the empty fine bottle to Tsutomu like a borrowed cat.


'It's all right now.'
I guess so.
"...Huh?　It's quite unusual for a Tutumi to voluntarily stay in my room. What's that?　I've heard rumors that it's an OK sign!　No!　With everyone downstairs!
..........
I'm in trouble~. No matter how much Tsutomu is, that's not a good idea~. Are men in a bit more of a mood?　I have to take care of that!


　Amy would have known that it wasn't such an easy atmosphere, but she dared to show it in a frightening way. But even so, seeing Tsutomu, who didn't seem to be leaving, she knew she couldn't pull it off anymore, or maybe she twisted her face into a crumpled face.

　Then she took out a form that was close to a status card, which she had hidden underneath her clear equipment.


''I'm sorry, I appraised this,''
I see.


　In front of Amy, who presented him with a form labeled "Application for Return from the Other World," Tsutomu stood there muttering in annoyance. Tsutomu's identity, which he hadn't revealed to anyone for about two years, was all written on the form.


　oo


...I see.


　As he sat on his bed and browsed that mysterious form given to him by Amy, who had learned the truth through appraisal, Tsutomu was convinced of the black gate anomaly of the return that occurred after breaking through the hundred levels.

　The conditions for Tsutomu to return from this other world had nothing to do with clear equipment or anything else.

　The person who used this form to break through the hundredth level must give permission. That was all there was to it. And by chance, Amy, who was given this form at the same time as the clear equipment, seemed to have hurriedly removed the permission when she saw Tsutomu approaching the Black Gate as soon as she finished her appraisal.


(When you handed this to Amy with her appraisal skills, you can see the malice of God through it. Go to hell.)


　If the form had been passed to someone other than Amy, Tsutomu would have already made his real return. This couldn't be a coincidence. It would be nothing short of an act of harassment from God.


(And the specification of increasing the number of people allowed for every single disapproval doesn't make sense either. If it was just Amy, I might have been able to convince her to do something about it........ Well, maybe around Garm?　(No, Daryl's better at rounding things up...)


　Besides, since Amy had disapproved once on that spot, Tsutomu would need another permittee to return from the other world. Inwardly tongue-tied at the fact that God's habit of using specifications like a ponzi scheme, Tsutomu scratched his head, unable to hide his impatience.

　Unable to see Tsutomu's unusually impatient state, Amy spoke up.


''........Is Tsutomu planning to leave?''
I'm sorry, but I'm going to.
Why?
'I'm sure Amy has already seen it, but what's on this form is true. To me, God's dungeon was like a game to me.


　There was no point in lying to Amy about it, as this form included a timeline of Tsutomu's life in Japan. She bites back at Tsutomu's half-baked reply, "I don't know about that, but...


'A game, I don't know about that, but-'
To put it plainly, this is like a dream world for me. I can't stay here forever. If it's real, I have to go home.
A dream but this is real, isn't it?


　Tsutomu, who was approached from the side with a bite and held his hand, breathed as if he was disappointed.


''Well yeah. I'm sorry for saying that. It's true, this place is real too. Pinching your cheek won't wake you up. But that's how I perceive it. This world is too good for me. I can't imagine being able to make a living just by killing monsters in God's dungeon, and no matter how much money I make, it's just game currency. I'm sorry, though.
Okay then.
Huh!


　Suddenly, Tsutomu was about to scream with a sense of urgency when Amy pushed him down. But when she saw her face turn strangely red, she stopped, confirming that it wasn't what she had assumed.


''Geez, there are things that are more awesome than reality...?''
'Well you shouldn't do anything too unfamiliar.
I mean, it doesn't feel real now?　I can do it too!
'No, you're too excited, and can you stop trying to take your clothes off with such force?　Then I'll take it off myself, myself.
Ugh....
I'm sorry.


　Tsutomu couldn't help but laugh at Amy, who was visibly frightened when she said that, and he immediately stopped as the strength to press himself down increased.


''Eh, yeah...!


　Then, as she moved her hands slowly to loosen her belt, she was visibly upset and relaxed, and Tsutomu adjusted his disarrayed clothes as he escaped from the bed.


'I'm a bit stuck in my thoughts right now, too. I'll think about what I'm going to do now and I'll tell you more about it later, so please don't tell anyone about this. Please.
'Ugh...!　Woohoo!


　Tsutomu retreated from her room with the form, leaving Amy, who had managed to hold her face in the pillow, burying her face in the pillows as if she wanted to die of embarrassment, to say so.
