Standing in the video room - which didn't seem to be used much like that until now, but also functions as a command room - I watch the split footage shown on the big screen and think.

It's rolling.

The brave party was just now being transferred to the realm of the first tier/watchdog.

Spreading wilderness, fake skies and sun above. Nothing blocks sight but giant rocks.

Refrain from the front back from them is the entrance to the Demon King's Castle, built for viewers.

The first layer is a layer that, set up, inhibits intruders into the premises.

Countless [Black Demon Dogs] are unleashed, and [Invisible Killer] Glasharabolus flirts with the enemy with his ability to visualize, eliminating the undetected with fangs and nails.

[Hell's Keeper Dog] Navelius stands in the way of breaking through it.

Carmilla and Kash are next to me today.

Kash was looking at the screen in a harrowed manner. I hold my hands tightly in front of my chest and wish everyone the first tier victory.

"How will they move"

Mouth as Carmilla confirms.

There are other demons in the video room. Officials who move cameras individually or respond to defects. Few others had taken to the room to watch their fellow men defend themselves.

"... their total number is seventeen. It's a hard number to work with."

"Yes, they have similar training like military personnel, carry similar equipment, and are not a force of war operated by order of their superiors. Because I am an adventurer whose 'individual' skills are more important than my function as a 'group'"

Differences in nature, not superiority or inferiority.

"Oh, I guess the five of us are the number of people who stand out as a party without falling apart."

Of course, not the biggest. Dozens of adventurers may also be able to lead some people, and even one may not be able to do well.

But in entertaining the dungeon strategy, it was necessary to enact rules.

That the number derived at that time was five. All parties consist of five people.

And then maybe, in a dramatically changing situation, it was also taken into account as the number that viewers could recognize at once.

Well, this time it's a Reid fight, so Reis' place can be a two-man thing.

Even I have difficulty recognizing seventeen people at a time and even countless demons, all the dungeons that change the environment from layer to layer.

"Originally my strong group of adventurers. There are leaders at each party, but their influence is considered thin outside of their own party. Is the only exception to Aerial's voice?"

I snort small at Carmilla's words.

The leader is who he admits he is, but no adventurer is happy to be ordered by the leader of a different party. This is another matter of whether or not to acknowledge merit.

Of course they are the top of the industry. It is possible to suppress those moods and fight.

But I probably don't choose that kind of method.

They know better than anyone themselves.

I didn't come to the top the way I suppressed it. They are the ones who have gone wild and reigned supreme.

If so...

"I would be willing to go ahead with the offense in a way that maximizes individual power rather than creating perfect collaboration"

As I say, their battle began at the same time.

◇

Out of rank - whatever, it's not an official party because there aren't five of them - the top guys except me and Fran.

Attacks mixed with those guys. It wasn't until before we met that I thought what would happen.

I thought Uncle Air was going to say something fluffy like, "We're all going to work together."

Different.

We worked out together to get to know each other. Not only abilities, but being alone, maybe with habits.

On top of that, we don't breathe together.

It's a coordination that doesn't interfere.

That doesn't mean I don't give a shit.

Well, what do you mean?

"Okay, well, the enemy is invisible! It is arguably extremely difficult to detect that proximity beforehand. What shall we do? What shall we do, Lord Reyes!

This loud guy is the [Odd] Theosen Pie from the Skaha party.

A gentleman's hat on a swallow tail suit with a color scheme that makes your eyes hurt. The cheerfulness that even the wand seems to twirl, but I don't suppose it's a substitute, but it puts a ring in every finger.

I feel like a frigid brother, but I guess I'm doing it deliberately.

"It's not gone, isn't it?

"Excellent! But it's a waste of magic to sprinkle an attack, and let's be very ugly for our viewers! Oh, oh bother! What the hell do you want me to do?

And Theosenpie, just thinking of it now, pounds his hand. The one that punches one hand on a plate and the one that holds it.

"I've got an idea, eagle!

"Good for you."

... I don't care, why is this guy talking to me? I'm gonna look at it so bad.

"Shouldn't we put up a trap!

"It's not okay."

"Thank you. I thought they'd say that, and there's something I've already put up - here it is!

He's a playwreck, but he's in the fifth place party in non-combat. There's no way I'm weak.

At the same time, the sound of dogs sounds like several.

"... I don't like you, I like dogs. It's like animal abuse."

"You're sweet, Lord Reyes! But if we don't do anything, they'll bite us to pieces!

"Right."

From all his rings, something is out.

Something - yarn.

Ten sets of magic equipment.

Thread made of mysterious matter out of the ring and manipulate it at the will of the caretaker.

... how much effort did you have until you could manipulate this freely?

So is the magic sword of Albacen pie, but there is technology to use the seemingly powerful features.

Even if the miscellaneous fish is used appropriately, it will not pass except the miscellaneous fish.

The thread stretching all over it involved a bunch of invisible things - [Black Demon Dog] though.

Seosen pie manipulating yarn as if he were alive, like his own hands and feet.

His yarn wraps something up. It wraps around something transparent.

The [hunter's] arrows, the wind magic, the fire magic, and the magic and weapon attacks of his companions strike that spot.

With a short chirp, the yarn unwinds and returns to Theosen Pie.

We don't interrupt each other.

We just know each other, so we think this is what we're going to do, and we just move to win like this.

If Theosen pie moves, [Black Demon Dog] gets caught.

So work out the magic to exit it.

This is our partnership.

"Oh...?

But it didn't seem so easy to do it at Demon King Castle.

... Otherwise.
