Chapter 15 - Riveria's Entrustment!
"Hey, what's wrong with a handshake?" Torajirou Shiro asked, puzzled.
"Torajirou, you probably don't know, but elves have this characteristic. If someone they disapprove of touches them, it will make them feel physically disgusted. So Lefiya probably likes you," Tiona explained to Torajirou, nodding seriously.
"It's not like that! I... I just think Torajirou-kun has such an important skill that he should have kept it to himself, but he shared it with everyone right away. Besides, the one I like is Ais-san!!!"
Lefiya blushed and shouted at Tiona, then ran away after realizing what she had said.
"Ah... she ran away."
"Torajirou, I have a favor to ask of you."
Riveria thought for a moment before speaking to Torajirou.
"Actually, Lefiya has always had a problem. Probably because she came from the school district, she's afraid of monsters and can't chant magic when she sees them."
"It's fine if she has companions standing in front of her, but it could be fatal if she goes to the lower floors and others can't protect her."
Lefiya is a genius that Loki Familia dug up from the school district.
At a young age, she is already a level 3 adventurer.
Not only does she have excellent magic talent, but she also has skills that enhance her magic power.
She also possesses a special summoning magic called 'Elf Ring' that allows her to use any magic used by an elf, so long as she knows the chant and effects of said magic.
This also led to Lefiya, a level 3 adventurer, being able to output the firepower of a level 5 adventurer.
If she were not so young and had some psychological issues, she could directly be an executive of Loki Familia, and she is also expected to be the successor of Riveria.
However, Lefiya, who came from the school district, has a problem - she has never defeated a powerful monster by herself.
Since Lefiya is a mage, there is always someone protecting her in battle.
She has no experience in dealing with monsters that come face to face with her, and she becomes helpless when they suddenly appear.
"So you want me to help her out?" Torajirou Shiro asked.
Riveria nodded.
"We've all tried to help Lefiya, but none of them are good at teaching, and my methods haven't been very helpful. So I wanted you to give it a try."
"That's no problem. Captain, can you give me a rapier tomorrow?" Torajirou Shiro agreed.
"You want Lefiya to use a sword?"
Riveria immediately understood Torajirou Shiro's intention and frowned, contemplating the feasibility of this method.
"That's right, I think Lefiya's problem is that she would be at a loss and her chanting would be interrupted when attacked by monsters."
"So, as long as she lets her body remember what to do, it will be fine. Although it is temporarily useless against those deep-floor monsters, but first she needs to get rid of her inherent fear of monsters."
Torajirou Shiro explained his reasoning to Riveria, and Finn readily agreed.
"No problem, I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow."
"Then, I'll take my leave." Torajirou Shiro waved his hand and left the room.
…
As night fell, Torajirou Shiro lay on bed thinking about the events of the day.
First, he was pulled into a Familia, then he entered the dungeon, awakened his skills, and had a cooperation with a goddess.
Finally, he even found a temporary team member for himself.
His journey to another world is really interesting.
With that thought, Torajirou Shiro drifted off to sleep.
…
The next day, Torajirou Shiro woke up early because of his biological clock.
Not knowing what to do, he simply went to the courtyard to work out.
In this ring-shaped courtyard surrounding the central tower, there was already a figure there early, training.
The sound of wind breaking echoed through the courtyard, which wasn't very big.
Torajirou Shiro took a closer look and saw a familiar beautiful girl who looked like a doll.
The silver rapier in her hand didn't destroy her beauty, but rather enhanced her heroic spirit.
Her figure was like dancing, slashing, stabbing, and chopping with her sword.
Every time she swung her blade, a gorgeous silver blade of light was left in the air.
This beautiful girl who seemed out of place in the human world was none other than Orario's famous [Sword Princess] Ais Wallenstein.
Torajirou Shiro didn't approach her rashly to disturb her practice.
After seeing her yesterday, Torajirou Shiro felt that she was very eager to become stronger, as if there was a monster chasing after her, trying to swallow her whole.
Getting rid of these unnecessary thoughts, he came to a small corner by himself.
Since it wasn't dawn yet, the light from the magic stones and the hot spring next to him made the place look magnificent.
Torajirou Shiro then summoned Kangetsu and began his practice for the day, also testing his progress from the previous day.
When he finished his practice, he realized that Ais had come near him at some point and had been watching him practice.
"Do you want to join me?"
Ais invited Torajirou Shiro.
"Huh? Can I?"
Sparing with a level 5 adventurer was definitely a good thing for Torajirou Shiro, but for Ais, it was just a waste of time.
"Torajirou is a comrade, so it's okay. Besides, I want you to become stronger and team up with me."
Since she had said this much, Torajirou Shiro had no reason to refuse.
Seeing Torajirou Shiro assuming an attacking stance, Ais thought for a moment and put her sword aside, using her scabbard to deal with him.
Torajirou Shiro didn't feel annoyed because Raul alone was hard to deal with, let alone Ais who was stronger than him.
However, it wasn't until he actually charged forward that he realized the gap between him and her was ridiculously large.
His strike was deflected, his thrust was dodged and kicked away, and his attempt to close in and slash was met with Ais's invisible speed, and she used an elbow strike to push him back.
The level suppression was fully displayed at this moment.
Torajirou Shiro's magic power was different from that of this world, and it could increase his strength to some extent.
As a Desperado, he was almost reaching the edge of level 3 with the boost of his mana, but he was still overwhelmed by Ais.
'At least I have to touch her once!'
With this thought in mind, Torajirou Shiro's attacks became rhythmic.
Just as Ais was about to kick Torajirou Shiro away for the umpteenth time, he threw the sword in his hand at Ais as soon as he regained his footing.
Even though Ais knew that the sword wouldn't hurt her, she subconsciously used her scabbard to block it.
However, when the sword reached Ais, it suddenly turned into a speck of light and disappeared.
Replacing the sword in Ais's field of vision was Torajirou Shiro, who had suddenly dashed in front of her.
He held Kangetsu, which had been summoned again, in one hand and was thrusting forward with the other hand pushing the hilt.
'Nukiashi Torajirou Shiro used this ancient movement technique once again.
Ais's attention was completely focused on the sword that had been thrown out earlier, and she ignored Torajirou Shiro's presence.
Faced with Torajirou Shiro's sudden appearance, Ais's pupils constricted.
"I got you!"
'Bang~'
With a loud bang, Torajirou Shiro's body was sent flying and hit the wall, instantly fainting.
Torajirou Shiro had forgotten the fact that Ais had been holding back in order not to hurt him.
Faced with this sudden situation, Ais subconsciously used all her strength and kicked Torajirou Shiro away, causing this tragedy.
The members of the Familia, who were still asleep, woke up by the loud noise and ran to the courtyard to check.
"What's wrong? Has another otherworlder appeared?"
The first to arrive was Loki, the god of trickster.
She even looked forward to the appearance of another 'Torajirou Shiro' and rushed into the courtyard with a roar.
Following closely behind were the executives, whose bodies were already beyond ordinary people and thus didn't need much rest.
When Ais saw Riveria, she acted as if she'd seen a savior.
She ran in front of Riveria in three steps and two strides and told her what had happened, like a little girl complaining to her mother.
Although Riveria believed that Torajirou Shiro was not the type of person who would hold a grudge, seeing his miserable appearance and the collapsed wall, she couldn't bring herself to say the words.
"Ais, do you want to apologize to him?" Riveria suggested.
"Um..." Ais lowered her head guiltily.
