Bab 47: Todo Kirin!

Hello? Are you there?

If you're there, then make sure to give me your power stones and don't forget to comment and give this fanfic a review.

It's too lonely there.

Please?

...

Just kidding, do as you like. But, it's true that the analytics for this book are lackluster. I'm hoping this book would gather some readers after MC goes to the Danmachi world.

Don't worry, I promise that I will at least post up to chapter 200. So, if you don't want this fanfic to be abandoned, then don't hesitate to show your support in whatever way you can (comment, reviews, power stones, P atreon, etc.)

Chapter 47 - Todo Kirin!

There are only two matches in the semi-finals. Luke and Sylvia played in the morning, and it was Orphelia's turn in the afternoon.

Although he knew it was meaningless, Luke still came to watch Orphelia's semi-finals.

Compared to the exciting battle between Luke and Sylvia in the morning, Orphelia's match can be said to be very boring.

Her opponent's ability to advance all the way to the semi-finals shows that he does have some real ability. Unfortunately, in Orphelia's view, his ability is no different from those of her previous opponents.

It only took a few seconds for Orphelia to end the match.

At this point, the 24th Lindwurm Festa only has the finals left.

Through the dedicated channel for players, Luke left the venue before the audience could leave and found a nearby cold drink store along the street.

After buying a cold drink, Luke just sat on a chair on the street, watching the crowd pouring out of the venue with nothing to do.

Regarding tomorrow's finals, Luke has confidence not to lose.

But how to effectively break Orphelia's 'turtle shell/defense' is what he needs to consider.

Whether in terms of proficiency or power, Shigure-Soen-Ryu, which is boosted by Star Swordsmanship, is obviously Luke's optimal choice.

But through observing so many battles, he had some understanding of Orphelia's abilities.

If his judgment is correct, Shigure-Soen-Ryu may not be of much use when facing Orphelia in tomorrow's finals.

The core of most of Shigure-Soen-Ryu's moves lies in the use of 'water'.

For example, the flowing water of "Scontro di Rondine" wraps around the whole body, and the raindrops condensed from the air by "Chinsei Ame" are also the same.

However, Orphelia's ability can control and manifest miasma and poisonous gas, turning the 'water' Luke manipulated into 'poisonous water'.

If Orphelia can really do this, then the 'assistance' that surrounds Luke will become 'sharp blades' that hurt him.

And it is obviously not difficult for Orphelia to do this.

Since Shigure-Soen-Ryu cannot be used, how to break Orphelia's defense requires careful thinking.

Just as Luke was thinking about his strategy for tomorrow's finals, a resonance from his heart stunned him.

This feeling, he had only encountered once before, back when he unexpectedly encountered Ernest on the street.

It's a resonance between swordsmen, not the kind of 'swordsman' who holds a sword and practices swordsmanship for a few years. It's a unique sensation shared among true genius swordsmen who tread the path of the 'sword.'

Moreover, this time is different from the encounter with Ernest. Compared to Ernest, who was skilled in team battle and restricted by the Orga Lux 'Lei-Glems,' the swordsman he met this time seemed to have walked even further on the path of 'swordsmanship.'

Following his instincts, Luke looked over, and it was evident that the other person also sensed something similar. For a moment, their eyes met.

It was a young girl with long, light purple hair, seemingly of the age of just entering junior high school. Upon seeing Luke, she appeared particularly surprised.

Luke was currently in disguise. Considering his high level of exposure as a well-known figure, there was no way he could move around in the city without some disguise.

The girl with long lavender hair stood there, hesitated for a moment, seemed to be confirming something, and then trotted to Luke's side with an expression of surprise.

"Um, you are Ashburn-senpai, right? My name is Todo Kirin. Your match this morning was really exciting."

Todo Kirin trotted up to Luke's side and spoke to him in an excited tone.

"Well, Todo Kirin, right? How did you recognize me?"

Of course Luke knew the girl in front of him. Todo-ryuu was considered a prestigious name in the world of swordsmanship.

"Ah! I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you, senior!"

Todo Kirin apologized upon hearing Luke's question, suddenly realizing that she had impulsively come over and exposed the other's disguise.

"I-I identified senior's identity through the sword aura emitted from senior. I also attended the morning match as the audience."

Todo Kirin was a bit nervous, wondering if she had done something wrong.

This was her first time meeting a swordsmanship senior from the same 'young generation,' and the fact that the person was entering the finals of 'Lindwurm' and even had the potential to win made the situation somewhat overwhelming for her.

For Todo Kirin, who desperately hopes to win a championship at the 'Festa' and then realize her wish, the current Luke is the future she hopes for most.

Use the sword in her hand and the swordsmanship she has learned to overcome obstacles in the 'Festa', defeat all the powerful opponents and win, and then rescue her father.

Everything Luke is doing at this year's Lindwurm Festa, in Todo Kirin's eyes, seems to be a reflection of her future.

Even though she came to Asterisk City for this purpose, even though she knew that the champion of the 'Festa' could have a wish granted, even though her uncle told her that as long as she obeyed his order, she could successfully rescue her father.

But to be honest, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

The whole world knows that there are a large number of Genestellars gathered in Asterisk City, among which there are countless geniuses and even 'monsters' who stand on top of the world.

She didn't know how far she could go with her swordsmanship, and what level she needed to reach to be qualified to win the championship in the 'Festa'.

That's why she could only obey her uncle's arrangements honestly, even if this uncle was not friendly to her, just because he told her that her father could be rescued by obeying his orders.

But it's different now.

Luke showed her, telling her how far she had to achieve with swordsmanship to be qualified to win championship at the 'Festa'.

Therefore, when she recognized Luke, she would run over impulsively, because the current Luke was exactly the future Todo Kirin envisioned.

Looking at the nervous girl in front of him, Luke couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. Who would have thought that this girl who would be nervous when talking to others would actually have unparalleled swordsmanship aptitude.

Thinking of Todo Kirin's not-so-smooth life, Luke suddenly had the idea of helping her.

This exceptional talent, the pure and clear path of the sword, should not be hindered by various trivial matters.

Incidentally, if he wins the championship in this year's 'Lindwurm,' the wish granted as a reward is yet to be decided on how to use.

Using it to assist Todo Kirin would be quite appropriate since he has no use for it.
