And Sherry bowed her head to me lightly, thanking me for being such a competent Party leader with a simple Thank you very much, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Based on all the encounters we had on the fourth floor, I can tell that Sherry is going to have no problems with fighting here, and I can only assume that the fifth, sixth and seventh floors will be no problem to her as well. However, the real problem, as well as the test of not only Sherrys, but also mine and Roxannes skills is going to be waiting for us when we finally decide to leave the seventh floor and move on to the eighth floor, which is going to be a totally uncharted territory for us, and that is why today we have started all the way down from the first floor and slowly made our way up: so that I could how Sherry was going to perform on the battlefield and how well she would be cooperating with Roxanne. Thankfully, there seemed to be no problems in that regard, because the girls not only became friends with each other extremely quickly, but that have also adapted to each others fighting styles so well that now they could support each other with their eyes closed and instead focus on their friendly chatter, like the one they were having right now:
Sherry, I know you might have some reservations, but trust me, it is really okay for you to be fighting a little bit closer to the wall.
Okay, I will try to do it during the next battle. By the way, Miss Roxanne, would it be better for me to swing my Club vertically instead of horizontally so that it would not get in your way as much.
You can keep fighting however you see fit, because it makes no difference to me. If I ever see that your Club is getting closer to me, I will simply evade it, that is all there is to it.
See? If this is not a sign of a good cooperation, then I do not know what it can be. With that, I think that there is no need for us to be staying here at the fourth floor, so we can probably move up to the next floor.
All right girls, if you have nothing against it, then we will be making our way to the fifth floor now. And remember: the higher the floor, the stronger the monsters, so do be careful at all times, okay?
Right now, Roxanne is standing in front of me, acting as both a sword that is going to strike down my enemies, and a shield that will protect me from harm should the need for that ever arise. . . . . . . . . . and I will never be able to thank her enough for it, will I?
Roxanne. . . . . . . . . thank you.
Yes? You are. . . . welcome, master?
Oh, and by the way, Sherry, since I am going to be using a lot of magic from here on out, I just want to make sure. . . do you know what the types of magic are?
Since Roxanne seemed to not know what I was grateful to her for, I left that matter alone and asked Sherry my next question.
Hmm. . . . . . . I am not all that familiar with magic, but I do know that generally speaking there are three basic types of it: Area of Effect Magic, Single Target Magic and Defensive Magic.
That seems about right. Storm-type spells are Area of Effect Magic, Ball is a Single Target Magic, and Wall-type spells are Defensive Magic. I wonder if those are all the types of magic that exist in this world, or is there also a fourth, unknown or lost type of magic that has yet to be discovered?
