Shall we go? The intention from my smile, Lili seems to have also noticed it.
She swiftly escaped to the side and opened a path.
At the same time the Monster’s roar that came from distance far away, entered my ears, I treated my right arm as a gun barrel and extended it to the front.
“
The numerous lightning flames pierced through the mist. In just a few minutes, it completely decimated all the Monsters.
“Ah Lili. Am I too dependent on Magic?”
While I picked up a sandwich, I asked Lili about this matter.
In order for us, who basically wiped out the Monsters, to take a break, we returned to the starting room of the 10th floor. It is also the staircase area that connects to the 9th floor.
Only this area was slightly different. The mist will not appear. Because the vision was clear, the possibilities of being sneaked attacked was greatly reduced. It is not wrong to say that this was the only safe area in the 10th floor.
While I enjoyed the usual lunch that was prepared by Seal-san, I waited for Lili’s response.
Incidentally, the handmade sandwich in my mouth, as always, has a unique flavor. The more you chew, the more a refreshing bitter taste spills out onto the tongue.
Today’s attempt seems to be a waste. It feels that the deeper I go, the more depth it has……While having a sense of rudeness, I, mugumugu , moved my cheeks. To be honest, I wanted to cry, but there were no tears.
Towards this increasingly violent lunch, I felt fear.
“Nnn~yes, Lili did not think about it so much……Anyways Bell-sama’s Magic is very convenient……”
Using both her hands to hold onto a small, but tidy bread, Lili seems to be immersed in her thoughts.
The small mouth ate the bread with a cute movement. Shortly after she finished eating, Lili wiped her mouth with a napkin and began to comment on it.
“Because the activation conditions are very low, it is undeniable that it is easy to use. Compared to depending on it, it feels that it is more like Bell-sama’s actions, this was the feeling for it.”
“If you say that……”
It feels like it had become harmonious.
No matter what kind of Magic, it is impossible to avoid a Chant……In other words, it did not require charging.
Just like controlling my own limbs, this kind of description might be correct. However, perhaps for me, using
“Though thinking about this, while Bell-sama’s Magic was very efficient, the meaning of it being a Magic had become very faint.”
“That……means?”
“Referring to the point about sure kills.”
When I heard this sentence, what emerged in my mind was a page of a certain book depicting about the activeness of Heroes.
The elf hero’s heroic posture while releasing a extreme chill blizzard towards large Monsters.
“
Indeed, at the same time, my
The weight embedded in each attack was not as strong as described by Lili.
I revealed a subtle expression as I listened to Lili’s words.
“Because a Long Chant Magic requires a lot of time, the effects it releases are very powerful. Thus, it is more likely to trigger a situation change. It is indeed a move that can turn the tables around.”
Which means, in turn……
“My Magic doesn’t have that kind of power……?”
“No, that’s not it. The key problem is about choosing quality over quantity or quantity over quality. Bell-sama’s Magic has a activation speed that could not be ignored……At least from Lili’s perspective, compared to a huge attack that requires a lot of time, Bell-sama’s
“After all, I will definitely not be able to escape.” , Lili joked as she said it.
Overall, my Magic was still a powerful threat to the enemies.
However, it spends less effort. Based on the power of a single attack, it still lacks the instantaneous explosive power.
Towards a truly powerful enemy ??For example, Monsters with high durability ?? it is difficult for the normal attack Magic to have any effects.
No that’s not right, Mmmm, even Magic isn’t almighty. If you really wish to list their shortcomings, it might be endless……
Was it the drawbacks of the dreams that I had held since I was small about the phenomenon of Magic, once the weakness of the Magic I obtained was pointed out……How should I say it, there was a little bit of regret.
I do not know whether the inner feelings were expressed on my face, but Lili looked at me and gave a wry smile.
“Bell-sama, Bell-sama? Lili believes that Bell-sama’s Magic is a gigantic leap forward, you know? Needless to say, the activation speed and projectile velocity is naturally amazing and just solely focusing on the growth of this was already very remarkable. Calling it outstanding is not excessive.”
“……?”
“Activating a time-consuming Magic has no practical value. After all, Monsters will not wait leisurely until the Chant is over. If the opportunity to use it has decreased, it will naturally not reflect on the
If you do not use it enough, the basic ability of the Magic Effect
If you could strive to use it nonstop, the effort and time could perhaps make up the deficiencies by several times
“As long as
Lili’s
The clothing right now is only for appearance, but based on the Magic Effects, she could change her clothes (Although it will be dispelled when she receives an attack).
I gazed intently at my own palm.
Indeed, the thickness and strength of the lightning flames have increased significantly.
“And returning back to the topic whether if you are excessively depending on Magic, if it was for the Magic to grow, then isn’t it understandable? However a dilemma occurs if you overly rely on Magic and ignore the skills of a bladed battle……Lili feels that Bell-sama should remain as he is right now.”
Lili’s analysis indeed contains a persuasiveness that causes one to nod.
This was the advice from a person, who had always watched Adventurers like me at close distance.
Listening to the words of my partner, it gave a feeling of something being pressed onto my back.
“Although Bell-sama’s Magic Properties are simple, the power is perhaps not outstanding, but the growth is undoubtedly numerous. Please have a bit more confidence in it.”
Towards Lili, who revealed a slight smile, my cheeks loosened up slightly.
If Lili guarantees it, then there is no reason for me to not believe in the possibilities of my Magic.
I feel that it was thanks to Lili that I could finally calm down.
While I felt slightly embarrassed, I said “Thank you” and stood up.
“Let’s work hard in the afternoon as well?”
“Okay, No matter where, Lili will support Bell-sama.”
Too distant, a
nd I made a wry smile.
After that, we continued to raid the Dungeon.

Black Raid
“……”
I slowly opened my eyes.
I could see the blue sky.
While feeling the chill and the wind blowing past my skin, I stared at the sky that stretched to the horizon.
At the same time, I gradually noticed that my entire body was in pain and I attempted to recall the memories that cut off during the last 10 minutes……What emerged in my mind was a single blow with terrifying speed from that person.
Once again, I could not do anything and lost consciousness……
Towards the shameful act that was exposed numerous times, I dropped my head deep down inside my heart.
Carried out on the surrounding walls was the training with Aizu-san.
Under her severe fighting guidance, losing my consciousness seems to have already become something common. Currently, it was probably because I was easily knocked out so I was in the state where I was lying down on the surrounding walls.
How long did I sleep this time, while I appreciate the gentle feelings below my head, I continued to think blankly……Suddenly, I was caught off guard.
The golden eyes was staring directly at my face.
“Are you alright?”
“……UWAHHH!?”
Towards Aizu-san’s face that appeared in the center of my vision, I leaked out a strange sound and sat up.
As if I was trying to leave that place using the momentum of the roll, I stood up and turned my head back. Aizu-san was currently sitting on her knees on the stone floor.
……Looks like I was given a lap pillow again.
Was it because of the incident??The incident about fainting after releasing continuous usage of Magic?? that happened in the Dungeon before, I do not know why Aizu-san seems to give me a lap pillow during the period when I lose my consciousness.
I was happy…happy to the extent that I could not suppress it……But if I continue to think about it, I should just die. In a variety of meanings, I was extremely ashamed.
While Aizu-san incredulously stared at me, who was bright red, she continued to, patapata, and pat the top of her upper thighs.
I seemed to rattled horizontal and shook my head.
“Your body, is it alright?”
“……Yes.”
With a red face, I sat down closely next to Aizu-san (I was invited by her waving)
While my butt felt the cold stone, I placed my back onto the rock pile behind me.
The entire day today, I accepted Aizu-san’s guidance.
How it became like this, it was because I received this from Lili, “Today I must help out the place where I spend the night so I will not be able to accompany you to explore the dungeon”, this kind of contact.
Instead of heading down the Dungeon by myself, although it was somewhat despicable, but I still attempted to expressed the feelings roaring in my chest and discussed with Aizu-san, while having a hot face……Even though it was well pass the early morning period, we were still training underneath the clear blue skies.
Only that right now, it was a temporary break.
“T…That…I…Did I make a bit of progress?”
“……Why?”
“No, about that, because I keep fainting recently……”
While the distance between the two of us was close enough to embrace each other, I bit my teeth and threw out a topic.
Aizu-san wordlessly stared directly in front, where she could only see my face.
“You, have indeed been changing……To a shocking degree.”
“T…That…But……”
“Half of the reason……You fainted…was because my mistake of estimating my strength.
“I…It can’t be like this!?”
Aizu-san slowly closed half her eyes. Although it was no different than her usual expression, but I was about to understand it slightly that, at this time, she was still depressed.
I hurriedly tried to encourage Aizu-san, who did not even notice that her shoulders had dropped down. At the same time, I did not know why I felt that my body was savoring an incredible feeling.
It was a flower that was normally unattainable.
Even though this fact should not have changed, but I was able to communicate with this person closely. Placing the person, who was not the
Although I could not describe it properly with language……That’s right, it feels that it is lacking a sense of reality.
Only that she, who was originally beautiful and sublime, have slightly changed. Just like a normal girl……Only at this time, I was able to feel it.
Looking at her figure, who became depressed for a meager thing, you would think of that.
“……Can you listen?”
“Eh?”
Due to Aizu-san muttering this question, I, who was thinking seriously, had my consciousness brought back.
Looking to the side, I do not know when Aizu-san had already concealed her depression and seriously looked over here.
“Why can you become strong so quickly?”
“Become…Strong……?”
Towards the content that she asked, I rolled my eyes around.
Strong, this vocabulary, I do not know why this does not seem to match me.
Then I recalled the variously unsightly things I did up to date. Although I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself inside, but seeing Aizu-san’s eyes firmly fixed onto this side, I seriously thought for a while.
The reason I wanted to become stronger……No, the reason why I was still able to become stronger……
“……That, there is a person that I wanted to chase up no matter what. I desperately wanted to chase after that person and unconsciously reached this level, in short……”
My thoughts were not properly integrated and so I was unable to express it with my words.
Compared to saying these words in front of the person I wanted to chase after, I could not stand the embarrassment.
My thoughts were completely messed up, but I finally managed to say the next sentence.
“……In short, it is because there is a place I want to achieve.”
Towards this answer, Aizu-san widened her eyes slightly.
After staring at me in silence for a while, she slowly raised her face and looked above her head.
“So it’s like this……”
With a posture of hugging her knees, she concentrated at looking at the sky.
In front of my eyes and nose, the golden hair was currently being combed by the wind.
“…….I understand.”
Towards the wind chimes-like whisper, I muttered “Eh?”.
“I also……”
The words after that were completely engulfed by the rapidly blowing winds.
Towards the powerful wind that blew from the side, I unconsciously closed my eyes.
The cool breeze that blew from the west. As if it was like the sound of the whistle that flew everywhere around the surrounding walls.
I timidly opened my eyes, there was no change in her posture. Aizu-san continued to stare at the sky.
“T…That……”
“?”
“Ah, no……Nothing…Happened.”
Looking at Aizu-san, who tilted her head while lacking emotions on her face, I did not continue to ask.
If I ask, what can I do. While I recalled that I have never seen her make such eyes, I asked myself.
After that, nobody spoke. Just when my body felt slightly restless.
From the east side of the city, came the clock’s declaration of noon.
I listened to the pure sound that was like the church’s bell. Even if it was opposite of
the city, you could still listen to the sound of horse neighing from outside the surrounding walls. Was it merchants that was about to enter the Labyrinth City, they were probably being checked by the guild.
Where we were currently located at was a stone paved road at the top of the surrounding walls. On both sides, there stands a slightly tall battlement. The scene of the city could be glanced completely if you look into the inside of the city. Looking outside will allow you to see the stretches of grassland, forests and mountains.
Allowing the city’s clock chimes and the bustling noise outside of the city enter my ears…The weather is great, is what I thought.
Due to the warm sunlight that projected due from the cloudless blue sky, I could not help but narrow my eyes.
“Fuah……”
“……?”
I turned my head and looked to side, Aizu-san was currently using her hand to cover her mouth.
The peach-like mouth was slightly opening……She was currently yawning.
While being bathed by the warm sunlight, she hugged her knees again as if nothing had happened and recovered her original position.
Shortly after that happened.
“Afternoon nap training, you won’t do it?”
“Ha?”
Towards the proposal that did not match with training, I was stunned.
Looking in front, Aizu-san responded faintly.
“In the Dungeon, no matter what, you must be able to sleep.”
“……”
“Whether or not you could recover your strength is also very important.”
That is probably true.
Although I currently return on the day I enter the Dungeon, but as the floors continued to fall, there may be a need to stay at the Dungeon for long periods of time. At that time, I might be targeted by Monsters, there will also be no soft, fluffy bed. To an Adventurer, it was completely bad if you could not let your body rest well.
Aiz-san talked about the importance of sleeping, no matter what occasion, with a serious expression.
But I, with a subtle expression, did not intersect with her eyesight and she asked.
“That……Could it be…very disturbed?”
“……”
Towards this accusation, Aizu-san, who was staring in front, slowly turned her head towards my direction.
