Chapitre 151: Wary Luke!

Chapter 151: Wary Luke!

"Oh~ Ah! So that's how it is!"

"Did you understand?"

"...Not at all!" Luke looked at one Amazoness sister frowning in deep thought and the other grinning foolishly without thinking, and sighed with a headache.

However, he didn't dwell too much on this matter.

The amazoness warriors from the Country of Blood and Fighting know nothing but fighting.

That place teaches you nothing but how to fight.

It's indeed a bit tough to expect amazoness sisters, who can hardly recognize all the characters in language, to understand 'meaning' through critical thinking.

Even if Luke patiently teaches them, the two might not be able to learn.

In dealing with such individuals, better suited to be called 'fighters' rather than 'warriors', the best method is not to communicate verbally, but to let them learn through their bodies.

By engaging in actual combat and gaining practical experience, they can feel the difference between mere strength and true skill.

However, there is no need to rush this process.

Haste makes waste, a warning our ancestors left us, is also a valuable lesson passed down through generations.

"Let's go, the morning training session is over."

"First, take a shower, then let's head to the large dining hall for lunch."

"In the afternoon, I'll take you around Orario as planned."

Luke helped the Amazoness sisters up from the ground, then turned to Ais, who was watching nearby, and said:

"Ais, you take them to the bathhouse."

"The layout of Twilight Manor is quite complicated, and Tione and Tiona might get lost since they just arrived a few days ago."

"After showering, take them directly to the dining hall; I'll go ahead first."

It's quite interesting when you think about it.

She usually has less contact with the ordinary members, and Bete, who joined later, is the type that definitely doesn't need someone to lead him.

So, this is the first time Ais has felt like a 'senior'.

This brand-new feeling made Ais a bit at a loss, so much so that she was always nervous in front of Tione and Tiona.

And in order to maintain her dignity as a 'senior', she went all out and beat the amazoness sisters into a sorry state when they first came to challenge her.

For a time, Tione and Tiona even wondered if they were inherently incompatible with swordsmen.

"Okay, got it, leave it to me!"

Ais nodded vigorously at Luke.

Luke, amused by her 'promise to complete the task' expression, reached out and patted her head.

"I'll leave it to you, I'll be waiting for you in the dining hall."

Then Luke turned and left the courtyard.

...

"Yo, how come you are here alone today... uh, what's with that expression?"

Finn, who had come to the dining hall earlier to wait for his meal, greeted Luke when he saw him pushing the door open.

However, halfway through the greeting, Finn noticed Luke's wary expression.

Puzzled, he first recalled if there had been any conflicts with Luke recently, then asked with confusion:

"Why are you looking at me so cautiously?"

Luke did not immediately answer Finn's question.

He waited cautiously for a while and, noticing that Finn seemed to have nothing else to say, he relaxed a bit and asked the other party:

"You... don't have anything to look for me today, do you?"

Pfft—!

Luke's question made Riveria, sitting nearby, laugh.

Even Raul and Aki, who were listening from a distance, struggled to hold back their laughter, fearing they would draw Finn and Luke's attention.

They had actually noticed it long ago.

Finn, due to the captain's work, has always been busy, and although he does not precisely time his arrival at the dining hall, he would not come too early.

Conversely, Luke usually arrives earlier than Finn.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but whenever Finn arrives earlier than Luke, it means he has something to ask for.

The reason Luke was so cautious about Finn appearing earlier in the dining hall this time is because it usually means no good news.

But Finn himself hadn't realized this yet.

"Looking for you? Hmm... it doesn't seem like there's anything special."

"What's up? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Finn looked innocent, of course he heard Riveria's snickers and noticed Raul and Aki's subtle movements.

But at this moment, completely clueless about the reason, Finn was even more puzzled by Riveria and the others' laughter.

'It seems to be related to me coming to the dining hall early?'

Finn thought to himself.

Finn's workload has actually become much lighter recently, and he has Bete to thank for that.

It must be acknowledged that Bete is really useful in some respects.

His presence has alleviated a lot of Finn's difficulties.

Although Bete, who had previously been the captain of the Vidar Familia, was not adept at handling paperwork, the werewolf could still significantly reduce Finn's workload with his prior experience and Finn's guidance.

What's more, Bete's role as the bad guy is really beneficial at certain times.

Need to boost the morale of Familia members?

Send Bete out!

After a session of mocking and ridicule, just a bit of encouragement from Finn, and the team members would erupt with tremendous energy.

Need to give a critique or guidance?

Send Bete out!

After a session of mocking and ridicule, just a bit of comfort from Finn, and the Familia members would burst into tears and repent.

Having someone to play the role of bad guy in front is really useful.

Finn has thought this to himself more than once lately.

Although it's a bit unfair to Bete, it seems he enjoys it too?

Finn being able to come to the dining hall early to prepare for the meal today is also thanks to Bete.

With the werewolf's help, he easily resolved the time-consuming disputes between team members, allowing him to arrive at the dining hall early.

Luke looked at Finn's innocent expression, then at Riveria and a few other team members sneaking laughs nearby.

Finally, he sighed and sat down at the table.

"Never mind, as long as you have nothing to look for me, that's fine."

While waiting for the meal, Ais also successfully completed the 'mission' Luke entrusted to her, and smoothly brought the Amazoness sisters to the dining hall.

Seemingly pleased with fulfilling her duty as a 'senior'.

Ais, with her golden hair swaying, jogged to Luke and reported.

"I brought Tione and Tiona here."

"Well done!"

Seeing Ais so happy, Luke naturally would not dampen her spirits.

He reached out and patted her head as a reward, then let her sit next to him with a happy expression.

The Amazoness sisters brought by Ais also sat next to their respective targets.

Younger sister, Tiona, approached Ais the moment she sat down.

From the first day she arrived at the Loki Familia's residence and saw Ais, she had made up her mind to befriend her.

Whenever there was an opportunity, Tiona would approach and chat with Ais.

As for Tione, the older sister, she slowly moved to Finn's side and sat next to him without uttering a word.

...

Lunchtime passed quickly.

Everyone, full and satisfied, was ready to leave the dining hall and go about their own business.

"By the way, Luke, come and see me before you go out later, I suddenly remembered something I need to tell you."

Before leaving, Finn's final words made Luke pause in his tracks.

He turned around and sighed as he looked at Finn's retreating back.
