A considerable period of time has elapsed since I began training for the Laid Boss battle.

In the meantime, after three years of joint training as well as two, we were growing up to be able to make a reid-like move there.

"Let's all work together tomorrow."

And our freshman year gathered in the school cafeteria for a meeting.

It's tomorrow that the Reid fight will take place.

This will be the last meeting on Earth.

That said, the operative thing stands when in the earth, so yumming words of encouragement is just loose for string righteousness to say.

"I'll give all the material items we got in the Reid to the Alliance's production team, so look forward to it."

"Whoa! I'm looking forward to it!

Iwasaki, the epitome of the production group and named Rock in Earth, hammered string righteousness with a full grin.

Material items that Reid Boss drops are rare and, if processed, are reborn into high-performance equipment.

They also seem to be very helpful to the producers because using rare items to process them raises their skill levels well.

That's why Iwasaki and the others are so happy.

"I'm going to make some awesome gear this time, so stay tuned!

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

In addition, once a high-performance piece of equipment has been made by the Alliance member of the Production Group, the piece of equipment is paid to the Alliance member of the Combat Group.

This will further increase the combat power of the combatants and make it easier to collect good materials.

These kinds of relationships that we have with each other increase the Alliance's organizational strength.

Well, me and Phil aren't part of the guild, so we're not part of those rings.

I figured I'd have them put in [Meteor Party] too.

I've been invited by String Yi before, but I turned it down.

But when I can show these interactions within my guild, I want to go in asexually.

But if I get into the guild, what do you think of the group of people who belong to [Meteor Party]?

Karajima or something will welcome you in your heart, but the voices of condemnation may come from the rest of them.

In the meantime, let's put it on hold between guilds.

Now it's important to improve your energy in preparation for tomorrow's Reid battle.

"... hmm? What's wrong, Birthday?"

"Yes, no... nothing..."

With that in mind, I could hear the ice room and the birthday (Navata) talking.

I turn my gaze toward those two.

There, the ice chamber looked concerned about the birthday with the blue face.

"Just a little... not feeling well..."

"How are you...? Then why don't you go to the infirmary? I'll escort you."

"! No, good... not that bad..."

"... are you sure?

It's obviously strange how things are at birth.

The same goes for my pale complexion, and I care that I'm shivering my body into small pieces.

I don't care how you look at it, it's a sick man's sole.

"It'll be better if I take a break... leave me alone..."

I think we should go to the infirmary just in case, birthday.

"... Ichinose"

Instead of an ice room with a troubled face, I skipped advice to my birthday.

"Maybe you think you might be missing the Reid fight tomorrow, but don't be patient when you're not feeling well,"

"Ya... don't. I'm not putting up with you! You really need a little rest and it'll heal!

"Hey, birthday!

My birthday stood up in a yelling tone as my words touched my eclampsia.

Then his birthday suddenly let his body fade away and fell straight into the floor.

"Ugh..."

"Hey! Birthday! Are you all right!"

I raised my eyes and spoke up.

"Ugh... it's okay, it's just a glitch... I'm exaggerating..."

"... it's just a glitch, but you can't leave me weak enough to fall. Ichinose, help me carry my birthday to the infirmary."

"Oh, okay"

I'm not sassy about following orders from the ice room, but I'm worried about my birthday health right now.

"All right, let's go"

Me and the ice room lent a shoulder to the birthday and lifted it off both sides.

String righteous people look worried about us like that.

"No, don't... ho, it's really okay..."

"Shut up, you shut up until you get to the infirmary"

"Nursing teaching will decide whether you're okay or not. Tomorrow's login."

"Gu..."

My birthday was weakly trying to resist, but me and the ice room ignored it and walked out to the infirmary.

According to the doctor in the infirmary, the birth symptom would be anemia.

But I was told to take care of it just in case and refrain from logging in tomorrow.

I can't log in tomorrow.

That would mean that you won't even be able to participate in the Reid Battle of the Underground Labyrinth.

Adjustments have been made to try the Reid battle in as full a state as possible, but the offense will not be postponed as long as there is about one vacancy.

Even if the birthday can't participate, the replacement guy joins.

The Reid battle will take place on the scheduled dates.

…………

…………

…………

The look on his birthday face lying on the bed is dark.

Sometimes I know you weren't feeling well originally, but you look pretty depressed because of the decision to not be able to participate in the Reid fight.

What can I say and encourage you at a time like this?

Me and Ice Room look each other in the face and skip each other's gaze, "Say something".

"... Also, I'm the only one who keeps it up"

And that's when the birthday squirmed potpourrily.

I heard that. I tilt my neck.

Also, what does that mean?

I know you regret not being able to participate in the Reid fight, but your birthday feels signs of regret about something else.

"... maybe you still care about the Sendo people?

…………

When the ice room uttered the word "Sendo," the birthday piqued his body for a moment and turned his back on us.

Speaking of the Sendo people, you mean the ones whose birthdays used to party a lot, who were our classmates.

"... If I could have logged in then, Sendo might not have been there."

"It's not like Sendo and the others are dead when he's gone?

The lack of memory has made me forget about us, but those guys are doing fine in another class.

He could be dead in Earth, but he's alive right on Earth.

"But... it doesn't change that the Sendokus are gone from near us...?

"Well, that's true..."

"I'm the reason it happened... if my body was sturdier and I could have logged in properly that day, those guys would still be fighting Reid with us..."

…………

Does the Birthday assume that the cause of Sendo's disappearance from Earth lies with them?

If Birthday was logged in that day when the Sendo's were gone and we were having a party with them, wouldn't there have been anyone gone?

I guess such a "what if" is bothering the birthday.

"But even if I had a birthday, it might not have helped. Instead, I think it's possible that the birthday was involved, but what do you think of that area?

Ice Room raised objections.

Indeed, that possibility cannot be denied either.

The circumstances under which Sendo and the others were hit are unclear.

Maybe he just got killed by a monster, or maybe it's a man-made disaster caused by some malice.

Nor would it be easy to derive how it would have been best to be able to act in these circumstances.

"But... but... it's true that I wasn't there then... it's true that I'm the only one who survived..."

Apparently, the remaining frame of the five-person party had changed coronally, but Sendo, Kurashibashi, Matsuda, and the four birthdays were moving as fixed members.

And from Sendo's party, Sendo, Kurashibashi and Matsuda were gone.

The remaining birthday mood would have been a complicated one.

"I don't want to think about it anymore... but this time I will... in all of us..."

…………

I guess my birthday feels dejab about one thing with the Sendo's and this one.

Then you've decided what I'm supposed to say here.

"Don't worry. We're not retiring like the Sendao people."

"Ichinose..."

"Oh, my God, you have me. I'll protect everyone as a tank. So no one will be gone."

The birthday is afraid that his companion will disappear while he is absent.

But I'm in this Reid fight, too.

I'll protect everyone in the tank.

"You know enough about how much my tank performance is, don't you?

"Well, I was working with Reid for once..."

"Then take me... will you believe in the power of your people?

"My people...?

"Oh."

It's a crusty line, but I'm a big jerk right now.

I think all the guys who fight shoulder to shoulder are buddies.

That's why you're my precious companion.

"Ha... dude, the tank isn't just Ichinose, is it? I'm joining Reid as a tank. Ichinose, then you may feel anxious, but I would believe you, wouldn't I?

Without even tearing up the ice room, he rode my words with a seemingly spare twat.

"No... I've been with you for quite a while Reid... I can't believe I don't believe you... there's no way"

"Really? I hope so."

"Well... I'd be more comfortable with Ichinose if I were to leave the tank to you"

"Ugh... well..."

Apparently, your birthday has only brought a little energy back.

I thumbed up in my heart on my birthday when I slapped a light mouth and gave the ice room a bitter look.

"Oh... okay... I believe in my people"

And the birthday didn't turn his face here, and he said so in a trembling voice.

He's also rinsed his nose, so maybe he's got tears in his eyes.

"... definitely come home... I'm here... because I'm waiting"

"Come on. We're going on a big boat. Wait. So, heal up and play with us again."

"I'll tell you a lot of souvenir stories when I get back, so just be prepared"

That's how me and the ice room swore victory to the birthday and left the infirmary behind.

"Apparently, you and Birthday are getting along."

"... what, were you there, string sense"

"Gilmouth for once."

When I went outside the infirmary, there was string righteousness there.

"As much as you're eavesdropping, why don't you come in?

"Hey, actually, I was thinking about doing the same thing, but they were getting weirdly hot, which made it hard for me to interrupt"

"Beh, there's nothing hot about it. I hope you don't get me wrong. And that's what Ichinose said, to the extent that I hit the hammer lightly..."

The ice chamber began to excuse itself to string righteousness in a hurry.

String righteousness keeps asking as he smiles at it.

Somehow, you feel slightly obsessed with string righteousness.

I can't be alarmed because there's something a little black about you that always seems kind to me.

"... So, you were mostly listening, weren't you?

"Oh, yeah. Birthday, that means you're gonna be absent from this Reid fight, right?

"Yes."

I sent a subtle gaze at String Yi, but I tried to track the conversation.

"If that's the case, we'll have to fill in the magician position as soon as possible."

String righteousness seems to understand the current situation correctly.

Since the birthday cannot participate, it is necessary to fill that frame.

And I don't want to mess with Reid's job ratio or grade ratio if I can.

It is desirable that the members to be filled be first-year magicians of the same position as the birthday.

"Well, in this case, it would be best to ask him."

"He?"

"Yeah, him"

"Oh well..."

I somehow understood who String Yi was trying to speak to.

But is it really okay?

In many ways.

"Well, I'm coming to pay you a visit, too. We'll talk about it later."

"Oh, oh, okay"

As I was about to think about it, Stringyi walked into the infirmary.

I'm tired of standing here and talking.

So you cut it up as much as you did?

"Hey, Ichinose. Have you figured out who will be replenished by Reid in this conversation?

"Okay, nothing, you're kind of guessing, aren't you?

"That's... that's right"

The look on the ice room is sinister.

Maybe you're worried about adding him to Reid.

I'm a little nervous too, but I'm limited when it comes to my freshman magician position with more than a certain strength.

And he's a magician with that strength, the first talent to be named as a substitute for birth.

If I hadn't hired you here, I wouldn't have figured out what one group of people would say.

"For once, he's a Matomo himself. That's why I don't have a problem with raids."

"I hope so."

I was in favor of him joining Reid.

I'm a little uncomfortable with the level, but maybe I'll be fine.

He is seen as the most talented sorcerer in a group a year... if it's Karajima.
