Group 26 had rules of nature.
It is a "perception battle" that must be played after the battle. Even though it is an impression battle, it is not an actual battle, but an impression battle that is carried out while standing around to simulate on the battlefield on the spot.
Few other groups played perception games, and talents like Mizue were rare in the first place.
"First Tenge... next fight with the sword. Just kicking is the only thing I know about you."
"It was really hard to say....."
"What?
"It's true that I woke up to the Swordsman's vocation, but it just came out. That's why I can't honestly use a sword. I think the jujitsu and boxing that I learned in the lecture are more readily usable."
"I see. In that case, I would like to use the main body technique and the sword from time to time, as I do now. If you were watching my swordsmanship, you could do a little imitation, right?
If it looks like it.
"Alright, Tenji will continue to fight me on the front lines. Next, Tachibana, hold your spear a little behind me and Tenji."
As soon as Mizue finished her perception battle with Tenji, she turned to Tachibana.
Tachihua also stared back at the river with a serious look to understand how to stand around.
"How far back is it?
"Well... one or two steps would make it ideal for me and the monsters from the blind corner of Tenge to be contained."
"Okay! In short, you just need to focus on supporting them, right?
"It's helpful to talk quickly. You guys are amazing."
Suddenly, Mizue gave an unusual compliment.
Until now, the river was too thick, and at the top of the Buddha, it felt like a young man who said things like he had seen something with an order tone. But I have more talent than anyone here.
This is the character of Mizue Seiki from the surroundings.
However, Tenji and Tachihua rounded their eyes and gave a neat expression to the fact that words that were not like Mizue River had leaked from their mouths.
"No, I'm sorry I said something weird. Compared to the high school people I attend, Tachihua, Kusatsu and Tenji were all of high standard and happy. Don't worry too much."
"Mizue, can I praise onee-san even more?
Tachibana pointed out the cheeks of the river to make it interesting.
It must have been one way to soothe the air of Tachibana Stream. From time to time, she was inclined to act to improve the atmosphere of the team while weaving jokes.
"Stop it. I only give in to someone I respect."
"Kh... I won't surrender"
The way Mizue said it strangely smelled like two diseases, and Tachibana laughed without thinking.
As if he had endured the air, Mizue glanced back in a reckless manner and began to move on to the road ahead.
Tenji and Tachibana also panicked and started walking behind the river.
How long is the journey waiting?
With that in mind, the three advance even the strategy of the sub-dungeon.

Tenji was watching his surroundings while floating the Magic Book ahead of his gaze and discussing the changes he noticed in the current battle.
What Tenji was looking at was the back page of the Book of Demons.
――――――――――――――――
You have gained 0.1 experience points. (Decimals are counted when they exceed 1)
――――――――――――――――
It was a blank page with these characters on the back page.
I checked other pages just in case, but it seemed that only this page had changed.
(Is it like experience log? Still... you can only get 0.1 in five grades, that's hard to understand.)
Tenge gets an average of 24 experience points a day without doing anything.
This is the experience gained by both demons in Hell space, always defeating monsters, and this is the first experience that Tenji has actually gained with his own power.
I was able to speculate, "A Five-Grade Monster will give you 0.1 experience points." In retrospect, the demons defeat as many as 240 monsters a day.
(No, it turns out that monsters of Grade 4 and above have been unleashed into Hell space. I wonder if the demons would have gained experience from a Class 4 monster.)
Tenge still doesn't know how much experience he can gain by defeating a Quaternary Monster.
That's why I could only speculate.
(The experience value has also reached 982/1000. If you earn another 18, you'll finally reach level 1.)
If you defeat a diving mouse and earn 18 experience points, you will have to defeat about 180.
That's just not realistic, but given the possibility that there might be three monsters waiting ahead that couldn't be beaten, I wanted to get to level one somehow on the way.
At that time, Tenji was concentrating on the book of the devil.
Mizue stopped and stopped them by hand.
I heard a few footsteps from around me.
Locations are fairly open, with circles of old pillars lined up at equal intervals. It was a scenery like the site of a temple, and all directions could not be seen far in the darkness.
The ceiling is also close to 20 meters, making it a very resonant space.
Somewhere in the big space, the three of them stood tight.
This place even feels like a boss area.
"I don't like it. It's like I don't know which direction it's coming from."
"Sure, if you're surrounded, you're free."
Until I came here, there were many main roads that were secured to a certain extent, but many of these spacious places appeared here.
The three Tenge men immediately backed up, watching the four sides without gaps, and stood by their weapons. Prepare for a clash with monsters so you can compete wherever you come from.
The monsters are already aware of our presence, and their footsteps are running fast without looking lost.
However, the footsteps were spiritual in this space, and I could not grasp the location or number at all.
Did you feel that discomfort? Mizue stopped signing and immediately started giving verbal instructions.
"It's a little weird. Maybe it's not a diving mouse."
The intuition of Mizue was correct.
Several monsters appeared just within sight of Mizue.
"Damn, don't joke. It's not a diving mouse, it's... a four-grade needle mouse."
"Needle Mouse" is a quaternary mouse type monster with blue eyes.
The body is covered with sharp needle-like hair, and its shape is very close to that of a hare. It can fire nearly ten needles in a single attack and is said to have a range of approximately 10 meters.
However, the body itself is famous for its very weak defenses, and it is known that even a needle attack can be overwhelmed by ordinary people.
It was then that Mizue and Tenji stared at the herd of needle mice they had captured in sight and began to think about how to defeat them.
"Hey, wait... I wonder if there's a team down here..."
Tachibana pointed to the ground just below where they were standing and said.
Tenji and Mizue wondered and turned to the surrounding field of view to watch out for the monsters' movements, turning their gaze to the ground.
There was a strange formation of three familiar figures carved into it.
"Ha!? Same team as the boss area!? When did you get into the boss area? I don't remember ever opening the door."
"Oh, it's true... when?"
The formation was quite old, and I didn't notice anything until I got close due to dirt and weeds.
However, standing on top of it and observing closely, it was exactly the same team that was engraved on the floor of the boss room in the first and second boss areas.
Naturally, a cold sweat appeared on the necks of the three.
The worst thing happened to them, like folding them around.
"Oh, hey... you're kidding, right?
"Hey... this is a little... How many are there?
"This... looks pretty pinchy."
A swarm of needle mice appeared around the three of them.
Regardless of the number, the three people exhale a weak sound and rotate their heads to think about how to cut through.
However, it was impossible to escape this number of needle mice with three people without talent unless the gods of war could think of enough manners to roar.
They were over a hundred.
"Shit, is it packed?
A voice like the idea of a river made a wooden spirit in this space.
