Chapter 230

The three kept hunting together until Lefiya and Line felt hungry. If the two didn’t feel hungry, Tsukasa would continue since he usually ignored his hunger until later. However, he knew he couldn’t do this when he came with a group, and he also needed to take care of his teammates.

After a high-intensity fight, the three decided to take a rest, planning to eat lunch.

Still, Lefiya and Line must admit they were amazed by Tsukasa, and somehow they understood why he could become a Level 2 adventurer so fast, especially with how he kept killing one minotaur after another. Not only his swordsmanship but his movement technique was also amazing. If someone asked her who was the most skilled swordsman she had ever seen in her life, she could confidently say it was Tsukasa.

While the strongest might be debatable since there was a Level 7 adventurer in the Orario, Line could say Tsukasa was the best in terms of swordsmanship alone.

Still, it was also because of how amazing Tsukasa was that Lefiya became excited and kept fighting by using her magic and staff technique, taught by Riveria.

While Lefiya’s fighting spirit burnt high, Line sighed since she knew she was a healer and a supporter. Still, even if she was a healer and supporter, she would be lying if she wasn’t interested in fighting. After all, who didn’t want to have the ability to wield a sword like Tsukasa or shoot out magic like Lefiya?

However, Line knew it was impossible for her since she didn’t have that aptitude. She let out a sigh inwardly and changed her heart before she glanced at Tsukasa from time to time. After all, she must admit when Tsukasa held his long sword, he was just so handsome that she often forgot about her crush.

Even Lefiya often shook her head furiously, trying to erase his image on her mind since she was afraid she would betray her love for Ais!

While the two girls were thinking about him most of the time, Tsukasa just focussed on getting stronger, perfecting his sword technique again and again.

The three decided to rest on the 13th floor since it was quite dangerous to stay on the 15th floor, considering how the monsters in that area were comparable to a Level 2 adventurer. On the other hand, the monsters on the 13th floor were comparable to the Level 1 adventurers. Therefore, they were weak and didn’t pose a threat to them.

Still, while they walked, Tsukasa asked many questions to Line.

As for Lefiya?

Tsukasa didn’t think this stupid girl could answer his question. Still, what made him curious was about the profession known as a supporter.

“Supporters are people who explore the dungeon along with adventurers. They carry many things ranging from magic stones dropped from monsters to spare weapons and items.” Line explained.

Tsukasa understood why Line seemed to have gotten used to picking up magic stones and items dropped from the monsters.

“Still, the image of the supporter isn’t good,” Line said with a sigh.

“Why is that?”

Line explained that many adventurers didn’t feel good toward the supporters since the supporters had always been at the rear, without helping the fight, yet they still got money from the expedition.

The adventurers who bet their lives didn’t feel good about the supporters who didn’t do anything, yet they got money. Instead, they felt the supporters should feel grateful that they were still taken by the adventurers to the dungeon.

“How cruel!” Lefiya’s nose wrinkled, and her face was red, showing an annoyance toward those types of adventurers who talked badly about the supporters.

Line smiled when Lefiya got angry at her, and she felt she was lucky to join the Loki Familia. After all, she knew how bad the treatment of the supporters on the other Familia was. On the other hand, the Loki Familia, who specialized in teamwork, always had a good relationship since if they didn’t have a good relationship, how could they show perfect teamwork, right?

Still, Line’s face was even redder when her head was patted by Tsukasa. “Tsukasa?”

“I have never thought of you as a burden. On the other hand, if you’re not there, I’ll have trouble picking up the magic stones and the drop items. You have also reminded us about the danger that is approaching. You also have always supported Lefiya when she’s panicked and loses her calm.”

“….” Lefiya.

“Without you, we’ll have a lot of trouble,” Tsukasa said. After all, he could see how unreliable Lefiya was since this girl often panicked from time to time. If he didn’t help her from time to time, and Line wasn’t there to help, he was afraid Lefiya would cause a mess.

“…..” Line stared at Tsukasa in a daze, her face flushed, and her heart was beating so fast, but even so, she showed a genuinely happy smile. “Thanks.”

Tsukasa stared at Line for a moment and said, “Well, enough of it. I am hungry. I hope your food is delicious.” Leaving those words, he walked forward slightly, standing in front of two girls as a vanguard again.

“You don’t need to worry. It’s delicious.” Line still had confidence in her cooking skill and quickly followed Tsukasa with a gentle smile as she touched the spot where Tsukasa had caressed her head before, but she almost forgot about Lefiya. “Lefiya, come on!” She stopped and looked at Lefiya, who stood in a place.

“Do-Don’t leave me!” Lefiya trotted forward and quickly caught up with the two of them. Still, she felt jealous of Line when she was being patted. However, she also understood she had made many mistakes on the hunt before, and it might be the reason why Tsukasa acted quite coldly at her. ‘If I do a good job, will he praise me?’ She started to imagine how it felt to be patted by Tsukasa, and her face turned bright red.

However, Lefiya quickly remembered her love for Ais!

‘No! No! No! You can’t be deceived by him, Lefiya! All men are wolves! My love for Ais-san has never changed!’

Suddenly two small Lefiyas, one similar to an angel and the other similar to the devil, kept whispering something to her ear, and she kept shaking her head from time to time, causing her ponytail to sway right and left.

“….”

Tsukasa and Line stood in a place while watching Lefiya, who was in the middle of the drama.

“…What is she doing?” Tsukasa asked.

Line looked at Lefiya helplessly and said, “…Let’s wait for a while, alright?”

Tsukasa looked at Lefiya, and if Riveria didn’t entrust him with this girl, he might already throw her out to the group of minotaurs, giving her Stockholm syndrome, seducing her, before teaching this prudish elf how well he was with his long sword.

“Lefiya?”

“Ah! Ye-Yes!”

Anyway, Tsukasa thought it was better to throw the strange matter to the side and walk to the 13th since they needed to rest without a doubt.
