Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Clanmaster's study of the clan "The Path of Glory (Gloria Road)". Kugutsu, who was sorting out documents that required a ruling, was laughing at one document in his hand.

"Fu, kukukuku"

What Kugz is holding is an application for a clan battle. Looking at its contents, Kugutsu couldn't contain his boiling laughter.

Only in the beginning was he frowning at the name of a clan he had never even heard of called 'Infinite Light (No Limit Glow)'. I couldn't stop laughing after I found out that was the clan the lils made.

"Absolutely… I didn't expect you to jump into the net from the other side."

The demand when you win is the shape of a colo. And if he was defeated, it was a condition that the leader and deputy leader of the clan, or Lil and Heeko, belong to the Path of Glory (Gloria Road).

As a kugzu, it's a completely different condition. The lils were also Kugtsu who was plotting to pull in here somehow for the upcoming showdown against the 'Thunderstorm', but they laugh dammit that the lils are going to get it without labor.

"Excuse me. - Hmm? Master, what's wrong?

"Yeah, Fukuran."

Probably reports of exploration. Kugutsu also swallows a laugh when he sees the face of Fukuran, a member of the clan who has entered the room.

"No, it's not a big deal. So, how was this expedition?

"We've gone up to seventy-three levels. Corona, she's moving her arms up. She's really amazing."

"Well, Corona, I wonder if you've finally caught up with us."

"No, no. I'm doing my best to not be outrun anymore now. She's a genius."

As the word genius suggests, no human being can go that far in a month from fifty layers. Even Fukuran, the same member, speaks proudly.

But after listening to the report, Kugutsu's chest was not only filled with joy, but also with dark emotions.

It is envy and jealousy to gush up and pollute your chest. Younger than myself, brilliant talent. A human on the same path chases him up from behind. And I feel signs that I'm trying to outrun you without stopping.

It's hard for anyone, not just Kugutsu, to honestly praise that from the bottom of their heart.

But Kugutsu knew how to contain it.

"I see. She did what I expected."

He laughs gently and honestly acknowledges Colo's talent on the surface.

Anyway, from what Kugutsu has seen, Colo only has a talent specific to his combat abilities. Then you don't have to squash her talent. Because I am a clanmaster, until I use her to my advantage.

There is no such thing. You don't have to contend in the same dimension, you just have to use it to manipulate him from up there. Kugutsu smiles darkly that if the tool is useful, it is something to rejoice in.

Superiority over jealousy. A sense of conquest that you use talent that is better in combat than you do. To get that, it is no exaggeration to say that Kugutsu won the status of clanmaster of the clan 'Path of Glory (Gloria Road)', which was the largest in the King's capital.

That's why Kugutsu can't tolerate the existence of a 'thunderclap'.

"Master. Speaking of which, what were you laughing at earlier?

"Oh, look at this, unexpectedly."

Fukuran also glances at the application for the clan battle that Kugutsu offered not to hide.

"…… Wow. You want to go away and join our clan, right?"

That's what Fukuran felt when he saw the conditions and the opponent's power of war.

Anyway, there are only eight members of the other clan. It's a pre-match issue.

For Fukuran, I've never even heard the name of that member. I only recognised one person by the name of 'Krull', but he was a senior middle-aged adventurer who stayed with us until a short while ago. I guess all I get is the impression that he finally got kicked out of the quote that was soaked in alcohol without doing anything.

"Do I need to take this?"

Are you making me slightly uncomfortable because you are demanding Colo's personality? If you take it from him, he's a short but same party buddy, probably a proud junior.

Only a small part of The Path of Glory (Gloria Road) knows the truth about Colo's enlistment. If you take it to Fukuran, who doesn't know that, you just think it's a zero-clan argument that's trying to sidestep the promising stock that's showing its headline.

"I do. I'm not taking this. What are you going to do?

"What? Why?"

Fukuran has a good point, and the guild enters the examination with an intermediary to apply for the clan battle in the first place. I went through this time because Serena gave me the backing of the review, but I wouldn't go through with this condition if I were to. The system originally created to settle disputes between clans is clan battle. Since it does not become a spark of protest, it is every decision to ensure that the system of clan battles is not abused.

But on this condition, I can't even hope to take it to Kugutsu.

"It's just the right time. I don't know how you got through guild scrutiny on these terms, but it wouldn't be too bad to show us what happens if you sell us a fight cheaply, would it?

"That is……… indeed it is"

"Oh. Let me remind those unfamiliar girls of our pride that will last 300 years."

After saying so, Kugutsu remembers.

This opportunity I've been rolling in from the other side. Whether it be Lildor or Heeko, that talent is no less than Colo. It's your chance to get it.

If you have concerns, there are just two.

"That's right, Fukuran. For once, Corona, I was wondering if you could tell me not to answer this clan battle."

"Why?

"No, Corona, the terms of this opponent are your type, aren't they? Just in case you set something up against her during the clan battle."

"Yeah, sure."

Of course it's convenient.

Kugutsu's real reason is that Colo meets the lils during the clan battle, in case Colo's memory goes back to normal.

But I will not reveal such facts. Most clan members purely believe that Kugutsu solicited Colo where he had lost his people in the past and was on his way.

That's why Fukuran nodded convincingly to justify keeping Colo, who now gained the power of the main battle class, away from the clan battle.

"Okay. I'll tell Corona from me."

"Thank you. That'll help."

This has allayed one of the concerns.

After the clan battle is over, even if contact with the lils brings back Colo's memory, if Lil and Heeko are in the same clan, they will not escape.

If that is the case, there is one more concern.

It is the presence of a circle that was named for the clan.

Who he is when Crukle told him at the booze seat. No way, I don't think that's true. Definitely paranoid or paranoid.

But even if that identity was a trick, the strength of the circle that Kugutsu glimpsed is real.

Clan battle rules are not killing each other. Using the features of one of the few Adventurer cards that can be used outside the Labyrinth, this is an adventurer card snatch. The condition for the end of the war is the defeat of the leader. If you get pushed through with a single breakthrough, I can't say enough that there is a zero chance of defeat.

Both Lildor and Heeko are strong. I'll admit it.

However, based on Colo's growth, the level of the Lils should be equal to that of the Fukuran, no matter how hard they still work.

Then I can still do nothing about it. I am confident that I can say that Kugutsu himself will never lose, even if there is anything left in the hands of other members.

Other members like the Gathering will not even be able to talk. Then only one of the circles should be most vigilant.

"And Fukuran. I'd like to ask you another favor."

"What?

Then let's hit the whole hand.

"I was wondering if you could call my party members. Just wanted to have this clan battle meeting."

The clan battle was accepted without any problems.

The lils had yesterday arranged for the provisional establishment of the clan "Infinite Lights (No Limit Glow)" to be decided, while at the same time being able to hit the "Path of Glory (Gloria Road)" with an application for a clan battle.

And I got an early response.

The answer is yes. I don't have any hair to run from, but this blocked my way out.

"Now, what are we going to do with the operation?"

Clan battles are a bump between large numbers of people. To pinch that prep period, the day of battle is a week later. If you take it from the lils, it was the day after the establishment of the clan was formally decided.

Even for that battle meeting, all the clan members and eight of the passengers' circles were gathered today.

Although the level difference narrowed, the number of people varied greatly. It's a meeting to take care of it, but first, Krull puts it in.

"In the end, the ladies couldn't get to their goal. It's a good idea to set up an operation for a little while."

"... Shut up, you outsider!

"No, Mr. Lil. It's amazing enough, isn't it?

"If we keep this up, we can update the records………?

To Lil pointy lips, Kasumi and Utena say with all their heart, not by following.

By today, the Kasumi and their party has broken down sixty-three levels. And Lil and Heeko stepped through seventy-four layers. Lil himself is dissatisfied because he was exaggerating that it would exceed seventy-seven layers, but it is an amazing enough number.

"The fastest record from fifty to seventy seven layers is definitely from" Thunderclap "... uh"

"Forty-one days."

"Mr. Lildor's day 31 at the moment, isn't it? Wow, even after the clan battle, you can still aim for enough records."

"Mm-hmm? Well, I guess so."

For some reason, Heeko answers badly with his teeth cut, and Lil turns that way.

They say it's a chance to pull out the record of the lila they're viewing as a rival, but for some reason they're not eating well.

"I'll give you more guidance than that."

Everyone but Krull squeezes their faces into Lil, who said so grumpy as to cut off the topic just now.

There are only eight of us. I am aware that I have risen to a level in my exploration of the labyrinth and have grown stronger with the training of a circle occasionally carried out like a whim, but the enemy is nearly fifty or more advanced adventurers. There is enough difference to give up that it would normally be hopeless.

"Clan battle policy is simple and clear"

Against that power, Lil speaks badly of the arrogant shore.

"I'm going to break through the front!

It was a policy that only seemed unscrupulous and reckless, but is that still a member of Lil's collection there?

There was not a single no to Lil's proclamation with the clan symbol on his chest.
