"Isn't this... something amazing...?

If a skill evolves due to any factor, you will be able to acquire a higher skill without using skill points - which is amazing, but it also appears that Elitier will be able to remember the skill used by the "Aqua Serpent Worshippers". Does it mean that when you fight an opponent with the same weapon, you may gain the opponent's skills?

"... because Elitier's been working hard so far."

"That's right... because it's not 'Curse Blade' anymore, I just came up with a skill I couldn't choose..."

"All the new skills are good, but I've never seen anything like it..."

"I've heard of 'Scarlet Dance' making skills that you can't normally master... 'Star Parade' and 'Red Eye' changing to 'Eye of the Stars'. I think it's the symbol for a changed skill."

"I see... 'Eye of the Stars (Asterisk)' is a skill that cannot be effective unless it is activated."

"The Red Eye was activated without my consciousness... maybe there are some triggering conditions in the Eye of the Stars."

The ability to drain health and magic in exchange for increased abilities is gone, and the current Elitier has no disadvantages as an Attacker.

"... I'm really glad."

"Eh...? Well, what's the matter, Alicht? Suddenly he looked so mysterious....."

"I don't know what happens if I keep using Berserk and Red Eye... because of Elitier, we can move on. But I knew it was selfish to be worried."

"... that's not true."

I always thought it was on my chest. Every time she uses the power of the Curse Blade, she's definitely shredding something - but I've been through it before, so I've been lost every time.

"I... got into three parties when I came down from District 5. Firstly, I searched for a companion in District 5, but I couldn't find one in District 6, and two in District 7. When I was in the Seventh Quarter, I was introduced to the guild... but it didn't work."

"That's right...."

"Yeah... but I couldn't. At first, I concealed this sword and told him that it was okay to be pulled by the sword... but when the Sixth Quarter party saw me activate Berserk, they wouldn't be able to act with me anymore."

It was reported that Elitier was forced to leave the party via an Alliance.

Maybe because she got a powerful attacker, the party she entered went into the labyrinth with information that she was going to be "named."

― ― And Elitier, who activated Berserk while he was at war with Named, was left alone in the Labyrinth when he returned to me, after other members escaped using scrolls.

"That wasn't their fault. If you look at me with the Scarlet Sword, everyone thinks... that I can't party with someone like this."

And she was called the 'Sword of Death'. I didn't hurt my friends, but someone started calling her that after seeing her come out of the labyrinth wet with monster blood.

"When I used up my magic and woke up again, I was in the Alliance's infirmary. My arms and legs were tied... and when I realized I was sane, I was taken off."

I've never heard much about it before, but I imagined Elitier's loneliness and I thought I knew a little bit.

But it wasn't like that. What she has tasted is not enough to imagine.

"I thought I might not be able to do anything. When I fought" named ", I finally prioritized survival and ran unconscious. Then I couldn't get anything, and the situation was just getting worse."

Elitier is stronger than the same level band and can cross with a 'Name' stronger than the level number - but that's when you activate 'Berserk', where you can't act on your own volition. In order to defeat the monster and take what is found back from the Labyrinth, you will need a trusted ally.

"The 'Curse Blade' doesn't make sense when the owner dies, so he tried to keep me alive... but there's nothing to gain as an Explorer. They don't grow, they make friends....."

"... but you didn't give up."

"Yes... go down to the 7th precinct and find your friends. But at that time, I went into the labyrinth to live every day without telling them my purpose. Still, rumors of the" Sword of Death "came down."

I went down to the Eighth Ward and gave up looking for my friends at first. Because the party I attended in the Seventh Quarter couldn't adapt to the strength of the monster and came down to the Eighth Quarter. They saw Elitier in the guild and spread the story of the Sword of Death.

Why did the people who once put Elitier into the party maliciously target her?

The answer came from her own mouth.

"... my brother didn't intend to let go of my sword completely."

"Did you spread the word about Elitier to District Eight?

"When I realized, the story of the Sword of Death was spreading rapidly."

"Calling our fellow swordsmen by that name... is not acceptable for any reason."

"... thank you. Actually, I thought it was a long way before I could get back to the Fifth Quarter. I thought it was the only way to move forward."

The Elitier who got down to District Eight was determined, so he teamed up with a Level 1 Suzuna to start the offensive from the Primary Labyrinth. There was nothing we could do but jump one step at a time - do not activate Berserk.

"Just by meeting Suzuna and exploring by ourselves, I felt like I was still alive. I thought I'd be alone for a long time."

"Well, I guess it was good to see you then."

Elitier moisturizes her eyes. She tried to reach out to me with a license - but she didn't touch it.

"If I...."

"... if you're talking about... If we can defeat the Monkey Household safely, I want to talk to you about."

Preparedness is well communicated. No matter how strong you get, there's no "absolute."

Still, I can't help asking. Such a future, where everyone "absolutely" survives.

"... it seems that the change of profession has increased the number of skill points. Can I take the Liberation and the Return Sword?

"Blade Maiden can't be as effective as it can be unless everyone's health is reduced... is there a big risk?"

"Yes, the sword will respond to me now."

"I see... I'm sure it is. Let's make these two skills."

Elitier selects and acquires a Mastery with her index finger. Afterwards, I pointed to the "Medal of Armor".

"The level of Elitier is so high that it's hard to gain experience compared to ours... then I think we should keep this. If Weapon Break can be used with the current sword, there are people who choose it."

"It seems like it can't be used unless it's a sword of the kind called 'Sword Breaker'... well, I'll keep the 'Warrior of the Medal'."

Think about the future. Defeating the Monkey Marquis is not an end, it is an important purpose for us, and it is a process.

"Alicht, thank you for coming on board. Good night."

"Oh, good night. Get some rest."

Elitier leaves the living room. After drinking the water poured into the glass and taking a breath, Mr Pharma came with Telesia.

"Good work, Atobe-sama. I plan to open the box, how would you like it?

"I'd like to try opening it tomorrow. Two black boxes found yesterday and two red boxes found today."

"Well... even though the red box is precious, Atobe-sama... I'm always thrilled every time you ask. I'm sorry I'm not old enough."

"Yes, no. I mean, Mr. Pharma is younger than me...."

"Oh...? Is that right? Now, until now, I've been very rude to you... because I thought you were a younger man..."

"Oh, no, I can't deny that I'm not feeling better than my age."

"No, I don't think so, but I think you've settled down even though you're younger... but then..."

"Well, what's the matter?

Mr Pharma was drunk, so I thought I'd forgotten that he tried to flush my back, but if it was slightly remembered, it would be a little awkward.

"... can I treat you the same way as before? I thought Atobe-sama was totally like a brother... and I'm sorry, I said something on my own."

"If Mr. Pharma is okay, that's fine."

"Thank you very much. Let me borrow your bedroom. Good night, Telegia."

…………

Telesia nods hard and moves behind me. This distance from sitting on the sofa seems to have come back a while ago.

"... Atobe-sama, are you sure you want to do this now?

"Yes, please. Good work, Louisa."

Louisa is coming to replace Mr. Pharma. When she sat across from me, she smiled at Telesia and saw the license I put on the table.

Well then, let's take a look.

Explorer contribution... 4800.

No. 5 District Provisional Contribution Ranking 302

"You took a step forward until you met the requirements for a 5-Star Labyrinth... a huge step forward that made your chest tremble."

"Thank you very much. After all, defeating naming moves the 5th arrondissement quite a bit."

"Of course, the contribution that people in this neighborhood make in a single exploration is, on average, around 2000."

"I don't think you'll be able to tell me much about the other parties... how much has the Daytime Brigade contributed?"

"You're currently the number one party in the 5th arrondissement. It's rare to explore, but once it moves, it makes a huge contribution. You've made about 10,000 contributions in your last expedition."

In order to go up to District 4, we will now compete with the Daytime Brigade - although it is possible that the Daytime Brigade will go up to the upper district first.

"They don't take the promotion exam because they haven't been well prepared… If they stay in the rankings for a long time, they will be temporarily excluded from the rankings for lack of willingness to advance."

"That's right... right. But they probably have the strength to pass the exam."

"Maybe he's waiting for something. They also have parties in other districts like the Lower Organisation... but I can't get any more information from them."

"No, thank you. It was very helpful."

Louisa puts her hand on her chest and smiles. Seeing her like that, I noticed a lot.

You're not wearing glasses right now.

"Ha, yes... I'm going to take a bath. It's okay, if you look close, you'll see it."

Louisa does the trick of repositioning her glasses, but there's nothing there - she smiles happily.

"... then... it's late at night, so I'll let you go back to your bedroom"

"Good work, Louisa."

At random, Louisa stood up and approached me - face to ear and whisper.

"If you get this close, you'll see it well."

"Le, Louisa...."

"Fufu... good night, Atobe-sama and Telesia."

Louisa is heading to the bedroom - I think she's looking behind her back, but while her bedclothes are relaxed, she somehow understands the curvature of her body.

I get up and turn off the lights. Madoka goes to bed early, so I'll talk to her about her skills later. I will discuss the materials and magic stones tomorrow.

…………

Telegia's gaze is somehow restless - but I have to say something.

"Telegia, you should rest in bed with everyone today. It was tough."

…………

Telegia didn't react for a while - it seemed, but she started moving and sat on the sofa across from me.

I remember when I left the Labyrinth. Telesia stays silent and looks at me.

…………

I thought she might get up again, but she lay on the sofa. I brought a blanket and put it on Telesia's body.

"... to be honest, it calms me down that there's someone else when I'm sleeping. That's what I did when I was a kid."

…………

"Nh...?

It looked like Telesia's lips were moving. But I can't hear you.

"... Telesia, take a rest. Good night."

I lie on my back and close my eyes. After a while, when she looked at Telesia, she was rolling up on the sofa and resting slowly.
