399-Aunt




(Initially, people said it was just luck and all that, but Corina's reputation is stabilizing. I'm not sure there will ever be a prayer warrior who can even see the signs of death, but her position as a healer is rising in order).


 Corina was able to cross her abilities with the knowledge she had learned from Tsutomu, and she was able to act as a prayer warrior. And when she saw the prayer warriors who seemed impressed with her ability to rebuild the PT, watching the images of Kamidai, Tsutomu leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.


(The PT members could handle it well, too. Well, I'm still soft on Hannah. But that's one form of that.)


 There were signs in itself that Hannah was too excited about the battle to ignore instructions, and Corina, who had been in the PT with her for some time, would have noticed that. But she had tried the bad move of convincing Hannah to do so.

 To begin with, Hannah had tanked with a fist fighter without any vision, getting beaten up by monsters and humiliating herself, even when she had no concept of an avoidance tank. She had been persuaded by the people around her before that, but she still abandoned her position as a high ranking attacker in Aldrete Crow and dropped to a place where she would later be ridiculed as a feather tank.

 In other words, she was a fool with only strength. ''Live Dungeon! In the case of, the upper echelons of the clan love the high-risk, high-reward romance gun. With that perception, Tsutomu has invited her to join the clan when she was beaten down by reality and has been able to guide her in the right direction and demonstrate her power.

 Hannah would also listen to what people said in normal times. But once her own passions and feelings take over, that's all she sees, and she doesn't listen to what the people around her say. At such times, Diniel would usually send an arrow that would force him to be aware of his death and check him, or Tsutomu would deliberately cut off his hazing and physically interfere with him, such as by dropping his physical senses, to stop him.

 This time, however, Diniel was less of a stopper because he had to let Hannah play an active role. Leleia, like Tsutomu, had the spirit to be willing to take hardball tactics, but she didn't have the guts to make that decision on her own and the strength to stop Hanna from going out of control.

 And Corrina thought it was something she could apply to her common sense and convince her with words. It is true that someone like her who is educated enough to graduate from King's Landing Academy might be able to listen to what her companions say and make a calm judgment, no matter how much their emotions are excited. However, he is Hannah. So there was a part of me that had no choice but to self-destruct with the Thunder Demon Stone.


(Is the pattern of pushing with emotion also effective for an idiot? It's a trick I can't do.)


 Hannah's movements like that are not slowed down, though they are more calm than before. If you let it go too far, it would be the worst move of all, as the idiot couldn't even take a risk, but Korina's saltiness in scolding her there was probably good.

 At first, Korina's anger was palpable even through the platform, but the many unreasonable things that the prayer warrior was subjected to during his unfortunate time must have built up a tolerance for it. Tsutomu was impressed that he was able to put up with it and drop it well.


(Now it depends on Xeno's persistence and how much DPS the three of them can produce. ) There's a good chance they'll break through.


 Since I'm able to deal with the blood weapons and blood altered bodies that are becoming more vicious in the latter half of the game to some extent, if I continue to do so, I may be able to destroy them before they can dedicate their hearts and settle the matter early.

 As I was thinking about what means I would use to persuade Xeno and Korina at that time, someone suddenly sat down on the seat next to me. At first it was only a faint scent of perfume, but as soon as I recognized the person, it seemed to change to a thorny smell.


'What?'
'Eh, it's Alma-san, who seems to have been treated like a meddling aunt by the newcomers to the Clan lately, what's up with you all of a sudden?'
..........


 Alma, who was still fluttering her long black hair, choked on her words at the sudden verbal attack. Tsutomu, who had casually seen how she had stepped through the landmines of the newcomers before on the divine table, gently sat back with a look of sympathy and kept his distance.

 In order to break the stagnant hierarchical attack as if the Red Demon Clan was stuck, they were recruiting members for the first time since the formation of the clan. Even though the clan was failing, the fame of Weiss, who was originally known as a legendary explorer, was still alive and well, so the Red Demon Clan's recruitment of members was flooded with explorers.

 And after a few days of scrutiny, ten new clan members joined the Red Demon Clan. Eight tank positions and two healer positions were gathered to form four PTs, and they are currently working together in their own PTs.

 Among them, the PT, which could be considered practically an army, was formed by Weiss, Alma, Cecilia, and two men and women in tank positions who were new to the team, but who were high level and had plenty of actual battle experience. However, although nothing had happened at first, a clear rift had gradually emerged between Alma and the tank men and women, and their cooperation had been disrupted.


'Oh, don't worry if Weiss doesn't talk back to you, okay? That was just a thought!
..........


 One of the causes was Alma lecturing the newcomers on how to interact with Weiss. Although Weiss has shown signs of improvement in his communication skills to some extent, there are still times when he gets stuck for words and the atmosphere becomes awkward. So that doesn't mean he's ignoring it by any means, Alma advised him with a translator's face.

 However, the newcomers who joined the Red Devil Gang because they respected Weiss probably didn't want to be told such things by that Alma. In the first place, the newcomers who watched Alma, who didn't respect her position and was in a fit of pique about Weiss, did not feel good about her from the beginning.

 Even so, she had tried not to mention anything about it in order not to disturb the harmony of the clan, but it would have been annoying if Alma had looked at her as a senior and messed with her way of dealing with Weiss. Recently, Weiss has been getting more media exposure, and he knows that from a newcomer who was eager to watch the divine platform he was projected on.

 While the old clan members had forgiven her for this, coupled with the good relations she had before, it was only natural for the newcomers who were watching from the outside to have a bad impression of Alma. However, she didn't realize that she was under that impression, and she was selling the newcomers even more unnecessary kindness.

 And before I knew it, I found myself getting hated by all the newcomers, which had the opposite effect. And while the other PTs were working together more and more, the PT led by Weiss was the most awkward.


'Because it can't be helped! I didn't think you'd hate me in the first place!
Cecilia is the one who seems to notice.
'Now that I think about it, they stopped me softly! But I didn't notice that at all!
'I might respect you for going that far, on the contrary. I'm sorry for your loss.
"...Hey. Can't we say that all of this is because we got this?
I can't accept returns.
'Why not? Even I was as ladylike as Cecilia two years ago, when everyone was counting on me! How did this happen before I knew it was happening! It's all because of this wand!


 Alma is chattering and lamenting as if to relieve stress. Normally, I would have decided to ignore Alma like that, but Tsutomu didn't want to talk too much with his clan members right now, so he kept up with her complaints while looking at the Godai. Even after that, he didn't stop the parade of complaints that it was the black cane's fault that he was like this.


'Everyone goes crazy! If I get a cane like this all of a sudden!
Maybe.
Right? Plus, the PT members thanked me when I broke through the fire dragon, and Weiss even gave me a rare compliment at that time! I got a lot of interview requests, I got a crazy lift, and I got paid for it amazingly well! They made me remember what luxury tastes like!
Alma's Day in the Park was featured in a special report, so you can imagine the cost.
"...so I didn't want to lose that position anyway.


 How can you speak in front of people while showing so much emotion, Tsutomu listened to the complaint while giving a ministerial speech that was neither affirmed nor denied in particular. In the face of her swordsmanship, Camille and the others read the air and gently kept their distance, as if they didn't want to interrupt her.


''Well I shouldn't be. That's right........ We all don't want to be told what to do by the woman who behaved like that to Weiss........


 As I finished spitting all of that out, I began to hear glimpses of words from Alma that gradually confronted the current situation, finally settling down to self-loathing for my mistakes.


'If you change your attitude from now on, it will help.


 Tsutomu, who had been pretending to listen to her for nearly an hour now, concluded his story with appropriate words. Then Alma, who was lying prostrate on the desk, quietly looked up at Tsutomu.


'.........You're very kind today. Do you have some kind of ulterior motive?
I'm just killing time.
'Hmm, what's that...? Why are you putting up a barrier?
It's for protection against people like you. Heel.


 Alma tried to poke Tsutomu's elbow with her fingertips, who was looking at the God's Table with her cheekbones, but because she didn't know there was a barrier there, she misjudged her eye measurement and soberly poked her finger at it. And Tsutomu, who had flicked his heel at her finger as she was about to complain about something, looked at the figures who were glancing at us.

 Amy and the others were only slightly concerned, but it seemed that the others had been visiting the guild before long. Eunice, who was glancing at us while sitting and talking with Milway, the silver fox man, and Eunice, who was glaring at us with resentful eyes while dressed in flaxen clothes, as if she had been wiped out at the hundredth level, was glaring at Lorena.

 And the newcomers in the Red Devil's PT were also looking at her warily as they lined up at the reception desk. Seeing such a state of affairs in the surroundings, Tsutomu lightly snorts and laughs.


''It seems we both hate each other quite a bit, don't we?
'Well at least I have a feeling it's better than you. What could I do to get you to look at me like that? Did you have a nasty swing?
You know, I don't know.


 Alma was left looking dumbfounded and unable to say anything in response to Tsutomu's reply, and her current situation seemed a little better.
