The next day, Tsukasa ate breakfast with Tiona together. He had told her he was going to take a break today and thought of going out with her to tour around Orario city. Still, before that, he needed to go to the guild to report that he had become a Level 2 adventurer. Also, he thought of creating a party. After all, he thought about slowing down a bit, and he was also quite curious about the “expedition” that Riveria talked about last night.
While Tsukasa wasn’t sure what the “expedition” was, he had a feeling it would be something interesting without a doubt. Still, he hadn’t seen Riveria and wondered whether she was too awkward to meet him. He felt slightly guilty toward Riveria since he had heard how Riveria had taken care of her chastity well, and even now, if she wasn’t kissed by him, she wouldn’t lose her first kiss.
After all, shouldn’t a first kiss be memorable?
Still, his first kiss wasn’t that memorable since he also quite forgot how he got his first kiss.
‘Should it be in kindergarten?’ Tsukasa forgot, and he was too lazy to remember. After all, he had become a kiss demon in elementary school, middle school, high school, and even in his university time during his previous life.
Tsukasa’s lips and thought he really had never changed.
“What’s wrong, Tsukasa?” Tiona asked since she could see Tsukasa was in the middle of a thought, and she must admit his expression was so handsome that she wanted to kiss him.
“…..”
Tsukasa was silent since even if he was thinking about something weird and worthless, his expression was like a physics professor who was thinking about the problem of the universe. “No, I am just thinking it might be better for me to have a teammate.”
“Teammates? You want to make a group to enter the dungeon?” Tiona asked.
“Yes.”
Frankly, it wasn’t something uncommon for an adventurer to create a group to enter the dungeon.
The dungeon was dangerous, and many monsters could kill them anytime.
Having teammates was a necessity, especially when one wasn’t powerful enough. Not only could they help you when you fought a monster, but they could only help you when you were in danger, especially when a Familia had many members. They would hunt the monsters together and protect each other. It was also better to group up with people from the same Familia, considering they were under the same gods or goddesses. After all, a human’s act was unpredictable. One thing they might say to you with a bright smile, then suddenly they would stab you with a knife.
Still, even so, it was great to have teammates.
Someone like Tsukasa, who hunted alone, was rare. While some adventures hunted alone, it was impossible to hunt like him, who could fight many minotaurs alone when he was only a Level 1 adventurer.
Tsukasa decided to take it slow, especially when there was an “expedition.” He also thought of having a teammate, considering it was lonely and boring to cultivate alone in the dungeon, especially when he had to take the drop items and magic stones that dropped from the monsters too.
While Tsukasa could multitask by fighting monsters with his weapon and using his telekinesis to pick up those drop items and magic stones, he wanted to focus on cultivating his skill in the weapons, especially a sword.
Telekinesis was without a doubt a powerful ability, but that didn’t mean it was invincible, especially when one had an anti-magic or sealing ability.
Tsukasa wanted to strengthen all of his skills, abilities, magic, and other things so he wouldn’t have a weakness. However, he knew it was harder than he had thought since he still had trauma, and as long as he was stabbed with bladed things, he could die.
Tsukasa also wanted to learn the skills and the magic of his teammates, too, since his sense of smell told him it was better to have teammates.
“Then, me! I’ll go with you! I am a Level 5 adventurer! I am strong enough to become your teammate, right?” Tiona raised her hand without hesitation.
“No.” Tsukasa refused without hesitation.
“Why?!” Tiona cried out, feeling aggravated for being rejected without hesitation.
“Because you’re Level 5, I don’t want to make a group with you.” If he made Tiona his group, he wouldn’t have time to train. Instead, he felt he was being taken care of like a baby. In other words, if he agreed, she would become his babysitter, which was something that he couldn’t accept.
Hearing his words, Tiona could only lay on his thighs, feeling depressed but then feeling happy since it felt nice to lay on his lap.
“…” Tsukasa.
“By the way, Tiona, can you give me a recommendation?” Tsukasa asked.
Tiona turned her head and asked, “What kind of people do you want to go with?”
“If possible, a magician, a healer, or someone that can support me.” It was enough to have him as a vanguard, and he thought to get someone who could support him from behind or rear. He also wanted to see whether he could learn their magic too. After all, he could learn Tiona’s magic, then shouldn’t he be able to learn the other’s people’s magic too?
“Then you should invite Line,” Tiona said depressedly. Even if she felt jealous the other girl would team up with Tsukasa, she still told him honestly.
“Line?” Tsukasa turned and glanced at the girl Tiona mentioned.
Line Arshe seemed to be eating her breakfast with the other members and didn’t notice his gaze. She had brown eyes and long black hair braided in a tail.
Tsukasa must admit Loki’s preference for girls was quite similar to his. He also had to admit many girls in this Familia were pleasing to his eyes.
“Well, I’ll invite her later.” Tsukasa agreed without thinking much before suddenly someone called his name.
“Tsukasa, I have heard you were going to go on a group to the dungeon, right?”
Tsukasa turned and saw Riveria, who had just entered the canteen.
The two stared at each other for a moment before Riveria blushed slightly, but she quickly calmed herself, maintaining her grace and composure. While she might have lost her first kiss with him, she was almost 100 years old, and while she was still a virgin, she had many experiences in her life, so she was quite calm.
That should be the case, but it was harder than she had thought.
While Riveria could mask her face with a calm expression, her heart was beating so fast!
Tsukasa could also see Riveria was nervous, but she still forced herself to talk with him, which made him curious about why she asked this question. “Yes.”
Tiona looked at the two and somehow felt there was something wrong with Tsukasa and Riveria, but she couldn’t find anything, so she could only stay in silence while staring at Riveria cautiously.
However, Tsukasa and Riveria didn’t seem perturbed by Tiona and talked to each other.
Still, Riveria felt strange and uncomfortable when she saw how close Tsukasa and Tiona were, but she kept this feeling inside her heart. “When you go to the dungeon tomorrow, can you bring her with you?”
Behind Riveria was a cute elf with long orange blonde hair in a ponytail. She seemed young, but her growth was quite mature. Still, without a doubt, this girl was gorgeous.
The cute elf was quite nervous and bowed her head exaggeratedly, causing her ponytail to sway around, but even so, she greeted him. “He-Hello…”
‘She’s cute.’ Tsukasa thought, and he greeted her back. “Hello.”
When the two stared at each other, Tiona wasn’t sure, but she felt a crisis was about to approach her.
