Kapitel 12: Lili Ruca? More Like Lili Louca!

...Lili finally stabilized, so we headed to the dungeon after about ten hours of delay...

I was carrying her backpack, which she didn't want, so I just said I would carry her along if she didn't let me...

Obviously, she took it seriously, good because I don't joke about carrying girls.

"Lili, you understand my training plan right?"

"Yes, Lili understood Sinn-kun, but are you sure you want to spend that much money on potions? isn't that a waste?"

"Lili, don't worry about money, think with me, if we're not strong or prepared enough, what's the point of having money saved? If I venture unequipped and a monster catch, sever my arms, or even kill me I won't repent for not putting more in equipment? Anyway, I won't lack money as long as I'm alive, even if I lose my arms in the dungeon I could still transform, of course..."

"but if Lili went to the dungeon and only thought about using the least, how would you make progress? adventurers go on adventures and it's not an adventure if we don't give it our maximum!"

"Alright Sinn..."

"So Sinn will do his best to have an adventure with you Lili!"

"Lili will do her best too, Sinn"

"So don't be surprised I'll use my special [skill] on you ok?"

"Nani?"

"Just don't be scared ok?"

"OK?"

so I used telepathy on her...

' "Lili, it's me Sinn I'm using my ability to speak directly to your mind, if you want to talk to me you just need to answer thinking you're talking to me" '

' "Sinn, are you really talking to me? can you hear me?" '

' "Yes Lili, this is one of the things I can do with my [psionic] skill, we're going to use this to talk without anyone listening, besides being more practical, understand?" '

' "Lili understands." '

' "So Lili, I'll tell you about my magic so you tell me about yours Ok? tell me as much as possible about what you know about it" '

Then she told her about the [Cinderella] spell and her magic stat that hit E (500), and I told her about being able to use an enchantment-type curse, and having an ability that allows me to make a permanent contract that grants powerful magic to whoever accepts the contract, etc... (obviously, it's not an mc who will tell someone all the unnecessary secrets, so don't worry about it, and if you don't understand why just ignore it or think harder😂).

So I continued to stare at her waiting for her to digest what I transmitted.

'So Sinn has an ability that can connect soul to soul with Lili? forever!? That can make Lili stronger?...but is it worth it? is it worth it for him to spend this skill on someone like Lili, a girl like Lili?' (If u don't get it, she's talking about being a "Soma family member" aka crackhead gang)

' "Yes Lili, it's totally worth it! It would be my honor!" '

Lili stopped in her steps...

' " ..." '

"Lili... Sinn?..." she embarrassedly tried to speak looking at me.

"YES!" guessing she was going to ask if she had conveyed such thoughts.

"don't think so little of yourself, Lili, Sinn will show you that you are worth more than you think you are"

' "Even if Lili doesn't want to believe in herself, believe in me, I won't deceive you! You're smart, talented, and beautiful, and if you deny it would be the same as calling Sinn a liar and also preventing yourself from progressing... Then... then!"

" Then?"

"If Lili does that again Sinn will be upset with Lili!"

"Upset?"

"Yes, Sinn will tickle Lili until Lili can't keep putting herself down" I said as I tickled her.

(Laughter and laughter) "s-Stop Sinn, Lili can't breathe" she said only to realize that I had already stopped.

' "Now let's put our helmets and go to the dungeon" ' I transmitted as we entered Babel.

Fully protected I started training with Lili, we gathered goblins and I cursed Lili to feel less pain and the armor to let the goblins' blows do superficial damage.

...

And with a special twist I enlightened Lili with fighting techniques and my vision of 'fighting' with telepathy, and about her being able to use [Cinderella] to fight and... do something?

...

' " So Lili could use [Cinderella] to use [beastification] (increases strength and leaves 'berserk' consuming energy) and get all racial bonus? " ' she said feeling dizzy. (Yeah u guys never figured that? she even can turn into a monster and just eat magic stones or other monsters...)

' "Yes, Lili can..." 'I said also being upset for her never using it to this extent on the series.

'"So Lili how about transforming into a Weretiger or Werewolf? Sinn left a hole in Lili's pants, I just need to open it for Lili to put her tail"

" Like this?" she said lifting her ass, for me to open the hole.

"Yeah wait a sec" then I unzipped the button on the back of her pants and told her to change while I held it open.

"[Your wound is mine. My wound is mine - Echoing message of midnight]" then she turned into a werewolf and I couldn't resist grabbing her tail as she closed the button again...

"Soft!"

"Hyunhaa"

"Gwrrratr?" goblin...

"Grrrrrrr" Lili finished off the goblin by throwing a knife at him then looked back at me embarrassed...

'scary, but... I like'

The second day of adventure:

We were in my workshop again as I maintained the equipment.

"So Lili, I know it's kind of sudden, but...but..." I tried to say something, but Lili was overthinking it in her romantic way again.

"Liliruca Arde would you agree to be connected with me forever?" She wasn't exactly wrong anyway...

"Lili accepts! Please do it with Lili now, Sinn!" Then she looked at me and grabbed wildly with her new werewolf instincts, while I mofumofu her.

"Lili are you sure?"

"Lili's never been so sure before" with a serious face despite her tail starting to wag quickly.

"Then I'll begin, Liliruca Arde, [Accept the thread of fate that connects our souls] [Anima Filum]!"

Then a RED thread came out of my chest straight into her chest, and as if we instantly felt each other when it turned redder, I received [Artel Assist] and [Cinderella] and Lili received [Seven Soul Seals], [Psionic], [Clarius in Tenebris ] and [Bestow Curse] and as long as we are in proximity we will have a [connected] buff.

Needless to say, she was very happy to become OP and I could Mofu Mofu as she thanked me.

So I tried [Cinderella] transforming into a Weretiger, and I obviously did what any rational human would do, playing with my newly obtained almost prehensile tail.

"Lili, do I look okay?" I said imitating a cat and wagging my tail in front of her face.

"Uwaa, it's fluffy" she said grabbing my tail and rubbing it on her face.

"Okay, let's keep training when I teach you with telepathy until you master the basics, then let's hunt to the fifth floor and back."

So we hunted and nothing impressive apart from the consumption of energy and mind potions in the six digits, in money, and the fact that Lili likes the feeling of [bestification] as she kills goblins, kobolds, and dungeon lizards slowly getting more instinctive and dealing the blows better with a short sword and a dagger in his hands, using curses as an incantation.

"let's go back Lili, you've killed enough"

"Uh, did Lili kill?"

"Yeah, Lili! I told you, you were amazing, you just didn't know"

"Let's go home, we'll celebrate the day that the amazing Lili-sama and her follower Sinn conquered the rookie area!"

(I know I compressed the usual 10 caps of relation progression but they aren't a 'couple' now they are 13/14, and this is danmachi, that's basically an eroge world...)
