Even a Mob-character Has Things It Can Do

Their current location was the deepest room in the 89th floor

Currently, there were four entrances within the huge octagonal rooe that leads to a hidden room between two entrances The size of the entrance to this closed room was about 10 tataed

Inside the roo in colooaze down in deep frustration Everyone was covered in wounds, so a lot of them had expressions distorted by pain

Nore everyone, but now, his whole body was attacked by severe exhaustion due to the recoil from "Limit Break," and he leaned his body in towards the wall, shutting his mouth in silent

In addition, at such a tiood way had a pale face due to the loss blood, and was sleeping with rough breathing as she frowned in pain This fact was also one of the reasons which made everyone depressed

Suzu’s lower half was still petrified fro the treath had already been healed What was left was to undo her petrification However, Suzu had lost a large amount of blood from the attacks of the tentacles There was the possibility that her vital blood vessels were daed But it could also be said that Kaoribecause she was Kaori

To begin with, even Kaori was incapable of replenishing Suzu’s lost blood Thus, she was li medicine from this world It was the reason why Suzu’s physical condition would not return to normal immediately It was necessary for her to rest

Kaori had spent all of her ti Naturally, Saitou and Kondou ere petrified into object-like things were kept as they were After Suzu’s treatment ended, next were the petrified two, and the other partywait before it was their turn, didn’t complain, except for a small portion of they to do it

Inside the diloomy atmosphere drifted about, Shizuku wrinkled her forehead and was puzzled on how to encourage the others Naturally, the taciturn Shizuku could not skillfully change the atmosphere, unlike Suzu However, there was no one else to do so since Kouki was also weakened due to the effect of "Liht shein such manner because she naturally cared about others A true worldly-wise person

Shizuku herself was nearing her liradually troubled by thinking of what to do Thus, she decided towith the resolution of dying a honorable death However, when she considered again, she felt as though she felt herself breaking Then, Noe and they conversed

"Fuu, I think it soood ca such a delicate ic… I’m already at my limit"

"It’s not in your field of expertise to be able to transform it into ithout any sense of incoic array to do that, so it can’t be helped Cheers for your hard work"

"You also worked hard to coht? Thanks"

From the conversation of these two people, the one who ed the entrance into the surrounding as the "Earth Magic-user," Noh aptitude towards Earth-Eleround, but it could not do delicate work such assuch as "Transround, round to create a stone spear, or controlling clouds of sand In addition, for soh-ranked, they could use petrification spells and create Goleic user could not produce things by separating or h it was possible to roughly create a hole on the wall using ic array at hand, to be able to "for walls, Noic array

It should be noted that Tsuji Ayako had treated Nomura after he had undid his petrification

"Thanks for your hard work, Noain some time with this"

"… I hope so Well, with this I can do nothing but pray on’t be found until everyone has recovered About Kousuke… we can only pray, too, huh"

"… Kousuke should be okay He won’t lose to anyone in tero Don’t say that, I feel bad just by hearing it…"

The talk about the increasing safety of their hiding place htly relaxed, and Shizuku smiled as she treated No a black history of her

On the other hand, Nomura had a bitter smile as he prayed and looked into the distance towards one of his bestfriends as not here now

That’s right, currently one of their companions was not here He was Endou Kousuke With "Assassin" as his class, he was Nagayalooettable one He was a norh school boy who could speak casually with anyone, but soone before anyone noticed it while saying, "Huh? Where is he?," as they looked at the surrounding only to be surprised that he was right beside the it at all And, of course, it was also the sah the person hi, his ability was currently the most useful Endou alone separated from the party and went to explain the situation to Meld and the Knights Normally, no matter how much of a cheat the suh the level 80ish floors alone Even Kouki’s party had little roo the floors, only because there were 15 people cooperating

But, if it was Endou, a , "The world’s thinnest shadow!," he could take full advantages of his stealth skills and possibly be capable of reaching the 70th floor where Meld and the Knights ithout being found by any de so, Kouki’s party sent Endou off

When he left, Endou was slightly teary eyed… surely, he felt so alone to retreat from his companions It could not be from his companions’ persuasion words, such as: "If it’s you with your thin shadow, even keen demonic beasts won’t notice you! Only you have a thin shadow that won’t lose to anyone, so younoticed"

Truthfully, Kouki’s party wanted to immediately withdraw frorets, they didn’t have any reserve strength left to do so Within the party members ere covered in wounds, three of them were in no condition for battle while Kouki was in a weakened state, so they didn’t think they would be able to break through the 80’s floors

Of course, they also didn’t think Meld and the Knights would co Meld, only six people were capable of building their base on the 70th floor In the party’s ht th cain for Meld and the others to reached the latter half of 70’s floors,for the i if Kouki’s party didn’t break through the 80ish floors by themselves In other words, rather than to call for rescue, the purpose for Endo to go alone was to inform them about their situation and the Demon Race woman who lead the demonic beasts

Kouki’s party had certainly heard from Ishtal and the others fro de, but enslavement, since the beasts still carried their oills But, they never heard of such strong de about the demonic beasts should be the "nuth

In fact, the demonic beasts the Demon Race woman lead had easily cleared the hueon» and overwhelmed Kouki’s party even with the cheats they carried Such things e if the human race was not destroyed sooner

In other words, Ishtal’s information was not mistaken and the conclusion was still that the deer" Not only their "nu Kouki’s party judged this information should be conveyed by all means

"Shirasaki-san Please take care of Kondou-kun and Saito-kun’s de-petrification It’ll take tooof the others to me"

"Un, okay Don’t push yourself too hard, Tsuji-san"

"I will be okay Rather, that’s er, Shirasaki-san’s responsibility would be decreased…"

On the side of the conversing with No the potion for recoveringSuzu’s treath both were "healers," Ayako’s abilities was far inferior coh she didn’t show it, Ayako felt herself pathetic and full of apologies, since she could only add ," Kaori replied so with a wry smile, then Ayako turned to heal their coht, darkness disappeared from their co Noh he wanted to say so, but he could not raise a voice since he felt he’d only disturbing her work

"… In such a situation Just speak if there’s soaya a

After that, several tens of hours passed Kouki’s party’s bodies and radually recovered and they took turns to sleep

On the other side, one person, Endou Kousuke was retreating with the entrusted infor for 70th floor, where Meld and the Knights were, without entering even one battle

In the 80th floors, if he was noticed by the demonic beasts, one on one would work out somehow butup as hts Thanks to that, he was able to pass right before demonic beasts unnoticed, even now

After the de where he stuck hiure which was completely clad in black to make the best use of "Invisibility," made him look just like an "Assassin" Surely, even the dee dae if they were to receive a surprise attack fro In his mind, he didn’t think, "… At least feel a little of e of his eyes when he saw the de him at all Absolutely not

"I must hurry…"

Endo understood the uessed Kouki and the others had sent him off to transayama and Nomura said, "Do not return here," but their as transmitted without the need for words

However, after he fulfilled his duty, Endou was going to return to where Kouki and the others were No ood if he was the only one who retreated to safety

He felt somewhat empty because the demonic beasts didn’t notice him, but it was the best weapon for the current Endou as he traced the returning route memorized in his head, and finally he reached 70th floor

While suppressing his impatience, he went towards the room with the teleport circle where Meld and the others set their base After a while, Endo’s Sign Perception perceived the presence of six people There’s no hts With this distance, the others should’ve noticed him since he had deactivated "Invisibility"

Endo turned at the last corner and arrived at teleportation rooh his figure could cohts didn’t notice him at all Endo then approached Meld with eyes of a dead fish, and called hiency!"

"Uoh!? What!? Is it enemy’s attack!?"

At the moment Endou raised his voice, Meld yelled, drew his sword, juilance Even the other Knights were surprised and shaken for a moment, then they entered battle stance

"Like I said, it’s ME! Seriously, please don’t give such reactions!"

"Eh? Wait, it’s Kousuke, huh Don’t surprise me like that Rather, what happened to the others? Besides, aren’t you soency!"

When Meld and the Knights understood it was Endou, they relaxed their shoulders because they kne thin Endou’s shadoas However, Endou returned earlier than scheduled, and it was only hied and covered in wounds, that’s why their expressions becabecause of the fact even the Kingdo hiht it was not the tian to talk about the situation rapidly

At first, Meld and the Knights put on dubious expressions, but their expression tightened as Endo advanced in his story Then, maybe because his heart was shaken when his story reached to where he retreated alone, Endou was drown in tears and his head was patted

"Don’t cry, Kousuke You are doing so only you can do Do you think any of theh 20 floors in such a short tiht? You’ve done well I’ve certainly received your words"

"Coh they’d be able to return here by theaas unable to defeat the enemies even with "Limit Break" All we could do was to run away Everyone is considerably exhausted, so even if their injuries heal… if they are attacked… we still don’t understand everything about those bastard demonic beasts… that’s why, please return to the surface and convey this infor, Endou rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, and said with a resolute expression

Meld bit his lip in regret, and handed over the tool bag filled with all of the highest grade healing potions and everything else inside The other Knights copied Meld’s actions, and entrusted their tool bags to Endo, feeling h ant to rescue theether… ill just be a hindrance to you…"

"Ah, no, please don’t worry about that There’s a considerable decrease in the nu that, Endou shook the tool bags where various potions were kept with a wry smile, but Meld’s frown only deepened It was not only because he wasthem, but also due to the bitterness

"… Kousuke Noill say the worst thing I can say I don’t care if you scorn me because it’s natural However, I want you to hear it"

"Eh? What’s with this all of a sudden…"

"… No matter what happens, please take only "Kouki" back"

"Eh?"

Meld’s words made Endou du and capable of putting the current you into such a predicament… the Human Race won’t have any future if we lose Kouki Of course, I believe all of you can go through this and ain with us, and I wish for that… However, I hts If by some chance it couessed what Meld meant and was dumbfounded It was to sacrifice anyone to keep the more important one alive, a "choice" thatEndou never thought of Therefore, Endou’s expression had becoawa?"

"Of course not For it is true I wish and desire for everyone’s survival No, such words don’t have any persuasiveness after I said that… Kousuke, at the very least I want you to convey those words to Shizuku and Ryuutarou"

"…"

Meld’s words s darken Meld, Endou, and the others had spent ether He was always by their sides ever since their beginner days in this world, and they had fought together for a long ti brother-like existence for the students ent to the front lines, and someone they trusted more than anyone in this world That’s why, Endou felt betrayed by Meld who said to cast them away

Still, he understood the necessity of what Meld said in the corner of his mind, so he could not curse him With a dark expression, Endo only nodded and turned on his heels

However, at that moment…
