Chapter 227: Going to the dungeon together
Watching Ais, who was in a daze, Tsukasa didn't wait for her to talk. Instead, he explained to her calmly and gently since it should be her first time doing something like this. After all, she had a "communication disorder." With her beauty, most people would take the initiative to talk with her, and she had never taken the initiative to speak with someone.
In other words, Tsukasa should be Ais's, first man.
"Usually, the feeling of wanting to become stronger isn't a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a good thing since it can become part of your motivation. However..."
"However...?" Ais couldn't look away from Tsukasa and kept staring at him, afraid to miss his words.
"However, it has its own disadvantages ."
"...Disadvantage?" Ais frowned and showed confusion on her face.
"The feeling of wanting to become stronger is without a doubt a good thing. If you can become stronger, it is all good, but what if you can't become stronger?"
Ais felt another arrow piercing her heart. "If I can't become stronger?"
"It'll bring you a feeling of frustration. You'll feel impatient and angry with yourself, wondering why you can't become stronger, especially when you start to compare yourself with others," Tsukasa said.
"...Then what should I do?" Ais felt the young man in front of her could read her like an open book, and at the same time, she knew he had a way to solve her problem.
"Take a break, try to learn something, and meditate," Tsukasa said.
"...Take a break? Try to learn something? And meditate?" Ais frowned again since there was no way she could take a break when she still had something she had to do.
"I know that it feels unacceptable to take a break, but you need to calm your mind. Try to ease the impatience in your heart. Try to go out with your friends, eat delicious food, or read a good book or something." Tsukasa could see Ais couldn't accept his advice, so he said, "But if you can't do that, try to learn something like a skill or a knowledge since it can make you stronger and enhance your survival."
Ais nodded and accepted his words, then asked, "What about meditating?"
"It's to train your mind in case something shakes your heart. Try to stay in a quiet room, doing meditation to strengthen your mind."
While it seemed useless, meditation was a good thing. It makes your mind relaxed and also sharper.
If a workout was to train the body, meditation was to train the mind.
However, unlike a body where you could see the improvement, it was hard to see the improvement in the mind. Still, without a doubt, a mind would become stronger with meditation.
"Meditation..." Ais murmured, then asked how to do a meditation.
Tsukasa explained how to meditate before he saw it was time for him to prepare for his first adventure in the dungeon on a team.
"I'll go first. I have an appointment to go to the dungeon today."
"...Yes." While Ais felt reluctant, she let him leave. Watching his back, she made small fists and tried to cheer herself since she had succeeded in greeting him today, so tomorrow, she should ask him whether they could train their swords together. She felt happy about her improvement and didn't realize she skipped her feet as she walked.
'Tomorrow...'
Ais anticipated for tomorrow.

When Tsukasa saw his teammates, he must admit the two girls were beautiful.
Line's body might not be the best, but she wrapped her thin and long legs in dark leggings, enhancing their beauty. Her glasses also reminded him of Touka, which gave him a better impression of her, adding that her braided hair gave her an image of a bookish beauty who was gentle and virtuous, yet she was wild on the bed.
While Tsukasa hadn't taken Line to bed, he could imagine how Line's reaction was similar to Touka's. He felt his pants were slightly tight, but with his supreme control over his body, he quickly calmed down before he observed his other teammates.
'On the other hand...'
Lefiya Viridis, without a doubt, the word "kawaii" might have been created for this girl since this girl was adorable. Her long orange blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail, showing her readiness to start her adventure, but even so, it didn't give her a fierce image since her pink dress gave her an image of a next-door girl who wanted to study together. However, the magic staff in her hand was really noticeable.
Tsukasa could see Lefiya's magic staff was expensive, and he wondered how much he would get by selling it.
However, while Tsukasa observed them, the two girls also observed him.
The two were in a daze, and they thought he was really handsome.
Tsukasa didn't wear his facemask or anything to cover his face, causing his appearance to match the power of the "big bang" shown to the world. His attire didn't have much of a change. If there was something that changed about him, then it was his new weapon.
Usually, Tsukasa would only wear cargo pants, boots, a shirt or t-shirt, and a bag to bring the magic items and drop items. His attires were worn to maximize the efficiency of his activity in the dungeon. He also wore dark-colored attire, so it would be hard to see him.
However, to bring his claymore, Tsukasa made a suspender holster with his cube so he didn't need to hold it all the time in his hand. Instead, he could put his claymore on the back right on his holster.
Still, his appearance stunned the two girls and caused them to blush.
While Line was alright and tried to recover, Lefiya panicked, thinking she had done something wrong to Ais, and tried to affirm her love for Ais had never changed.
'I love Ais-san! I love Ais-san!'
Lefiya held her head while shaking it furiously.
"...What's wrong with her?" Tsukasa asked in doubt.
Line smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. Just leave her a bit, and I am sure she'll recover."
Tsukasa nodded and didn't think too much before he asked, "Before we go, do you want to buy lunch? I usually buy them before I go to the dungeon." Food was an important thing for him. He might be able to stay alive without food for a long time, but he wanted to eat if he was hungry.
"Ah!" Line was surprised and asked, "Are you going to buy lunch? I have prepared for you two, though."
"Really?" Tsukasa was surprised and wondered why he didn't invite Line from the beginning. "If you have prepared our lunch, then I won't go to buy lunch." With everything being settled, he also didn't waste his time. "Then, let's go to the dungeon now."
Line agreed, and Lefiya, who had also recovered, agreed.
The three walked to the dungeon together and started their first adventure in the dungeon together.
