Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Episode 55: Wakame?

Although it was the retreat along the way, if we go beyond fifty layers in the labyrinth search, the earnings there will no longer be like having trouble living.

Getting into the advanced ranks of an adventurer is something that people who do adventurers for a living can never step into. If you just want to live in the first place, you will be able to make enough money if you also go thirty tiers. That's the intermediate median line. If you are satisfied with a stable life and seek peace, you will stop there.

Adventurers to advanced ranks survive danger and are places that only humans looking for something other than food for life can go.

"So, what are you talking about, Kasmin?"

"That's about Heeko's departure."

Yes, Kasumi cut it out after the fifty-first level of exploration.

Kasumi, who distributes today's earnings and drops off each member returning home, only invited Heeko to come to the tavern.

"Hmm? Could you fire me, me?"

"No way."

Kasumi bitterly smiles at Heeko, who casually says that.

Fire Heeko or something. No way. He is a powerful man of his age with Kasumi and others, and has a pleasant personality and a good relationship with his peers. I really wanted you to stay at the party like this.

But I also knew that there was no good reason for that.

"What do you actually do? You're not gonna fit into our party like this, are you?

"To Kasmin's party, faint. That sounds good too."

"Say that again."

I know about the fact that Heeko doesn't mean it with a sarcastic laugh similar to self-derision. If you insist, throw yourself away. This side of my friend with a slightly twisted attitude is also a troublesome part, but I didn't hate the cashmere.

"I'm not too impressed with you hiding your true intentions in words like that."

"Mm. I don't know what you're trying to say, Kasmin"

"Well, I'll tell you."

Riding the provocation much easier than usual is proof that Heeko is so crunchy he can't afford it.

"You're gonna think about it. Not just today, I wonder how it would have been if it had been an exploration with Mr. Lildor and Mr. Colonel."

Heeko couldn't argue with Kasumi's allegations.

Colo has been away from the lils' party for a week. Heeko had been temporarily admitted to Kasumi's party.

The reason is simple. Colo and Lil stopped taking to the guild of the labyrinth to the east.

Leaving the party without a word of say, Colo said he was exploring the southern labyrinth and proceeding with his exploration with the help of a newly entered clan and with the momentum of the bamboo.

And when it comes to Lil, he hasn't had a face on the guild since he heard Colo leave.

Kasumi sees Heeko trying to dive into the labyrinth with a solo and solicits him to the party. Although temporary, Kasumi is part of the leader's party.

"So is today's retreat, isn't it? If you were with Mr. Lildor and Mr. Coronel, you would have thought it was different again."

"No, I don't..."

Undeniably clouds the end of the phrase.

Kasumi is right.

What if I was with Colo and Lil then?

I wouldn't have made a run for it first. The floating jellyfish is swept away by the lil in a vertical roll, and the tentacles are cut off by the heeko and the corn is cut off. It doesn't take long to wipe out Lil, Colo and Heeko, even if they are the three fat fish that are approaching from behind. That's how the miscellaneous fish didn't come in, and they should have fought the spear chachi with a full attitude.

Maybe if I was with Lil and Colo, I could have won it all on that occasion. You could have won if you were a field boss. The certainty was with Heeko, but it was too rude for the Kasumis to talk about it here.

"You see. Honestly, we're glad Heeko came in, aren't we? But Heeko's not our party, is he?

A prospective cashmere gently tells you how Heeko feels.

"We can't reach Mr. Lildor and Mr. Coronel, and we can't let Heeko use his powers to the full. I know Heeko's strong, but heeko, relying on his own strength doesn't make any sense for a party."

What Kasumi talks about is his common sense as the leader of the party.

If there is even a small group, what is required is a balance between the division of roles and the overall balance. Protruding individual forces sometimes disturb the sum of the members. Heeko learned that too and was exploring the labyrinth without using magic.

If Heeko really fights by wielding his power, the need for Tegre and Chicka to serve as avant-garde at Kasumi's party decreases, as does perhaps Kasumi's desire to be a leader. Sometimes Kasumi is the leader because of his late personality, but he's the strongest in the party.

"I still regret what they think. Even we have our pride. But the reason I made you think that was because we still don't have enough power. I'll take it seriously and improve it."

I appreciate your concern, but most importantly, if you continue your quest to keep your powers saved, Heeko's grievances will build up. Slow judgment, no collaboration meshing, not enough courage to tread dangerously, not reaching strength in the first place, not matching. If you accumulate without being able to express such dissatisfaction, Heeko himself will rot.

Humans don't do their part without saying anything, like Kasumi's beloved mechanical trick. How does your best feel to the other person? You have to think about that.

Heeko's strength is spared, but if he keeps accepting it, Kasumi's party will be transformed and it won't have a good impact on Heeko. To prevent that, Kasumi treats Heeko as a customer.

First of all, I'm worried about the three of you. Especially with Heeko. Friends that suit my taste well. Kasumi suggests not only for Heeko, but also for Lil and Colo.

"So after all, why don't you and Mr. Lildor get together once and discuss it with the three of us? If it's awkward, I'll take care of it."

"... No, but I don't think there's anything more you can do about that rotten walrus."

"What?"

I think I heard something terrible.

An unthinkable tantrum against your own leader and admirer of your sister. I look at Heeko's face, who hasn't hesitated to speak of it, but she's melancholy and cloudy about what she remembers.

"Rot...... eh? What?"

"No, it's nothing."

Heeko, who is dropping his gaze, also looks like he's teasing.

Though inexplicably wondering what it is, Kasumi defends the lowered lil.

"I can't help it. Mr. Lildor was the leader of the party. I can't help but say no... I'm shocked."

Even Kasumi would be flabbergasted if the party members he had formed since the early days of his labyrinth exploration responded to the pull-out of other clans without any consultation with him. To Utena and Eis, Tegre and Chicka. The five of us have come to the fifty-first level. There is a bond.

Kasumi in the position of leader. That's why it's a defense, but Heeko's jito eyes are unwavering.

"No, that walnut is rotten."

"I, I, Ka, Ra!

Somehow I whisper the voice of Heeko, who treats Lil like a hard-working walrus. It's like Lil's ratings are depressing in Heeko about before he joins Lil's party, but it's too harsh a rating for Lil, who just got stuck in shock for about a week. If this happens, I'll pull Heeko's arm to get the three of them together even if I can't force them anymore.

"I'm coming! Let's start with Mr. Lildor's. Heeko knows where it is. Show me!

"Er..."

I don't like this face, but I don't actively try to defy Kasumi's pulling power. Heeko stood up shabby.

"Ha... I don't really want to see that rotten walrus, but I can't help it. But why would Kasmin do this to me?

"Oh, that's easy."

To Heeko's inquiry, Kasumi winks with Patchouli.

"I have not yet been able to repay Mr. Lildor."

Even Kasumi, one fascinated by the vertical roll light of Lil and Colo.

Lil and Colo have been one of Kasumi's goals since they were helped on the twentieth tier.
