Chapter 2 - A Healer Capable of Close Combat (1/2)
Having got a party member with a considerable strength by a dream-like miracle, I decided to dive into the labyrinth right away.
「Wow…… I don’t know there is such a secret path… It’s cool that Onii-san know it.」
「Well, Those people who taught me the in and out of adventuring are the one that’s amazing. It’s them who taught me about this path.」
Currently, we’re near the lowest part of the upper layer of the labyrinth.
Normally, as the first party activity, we should be fighting the monsters from the upper layer.
After all, in this place, even though not as strong as the one in the lower-layer, the monsters that appear here are incomparable to the one in the upper layer.
However, with me being a defect healer, having a party with a beautiful girl would gather a lot of attention, so we had to come to this place where there weren’t many people.
Besides, I had a belief that I won’t be able to gauge Narsena’s ability unless it’s against monsters as troublesome as the enemies in this layer.
After seeing her nodded without hesitation to my invitation to go to the middle layer, I believed Narsena also had the confidence she could go around in this layer without a problem.
After making my decision, I opened my mouth.
「Well, I will help you if you think it would become dangerous, but for now, can you show me your strength by fighting against the monsters here alone?」
「Okay, understand! Look at me properly then!」
After hearing my request, Narsena nodded vigorously with a smile full of confidence on her face.

「Haaaa-!」
「Gugi, Gugaga …」
「Alright! This is the fifth one!」
Narsena’s battle that began after that was really awesome.
Even the middle-layer’s monster, the so feared Orc is easily defeated by Narsena.
Monsters are stronger than humans and full of vitality.
However, humans are said to be able to compete with monsters because they possess skills.
Even then, as humanoid monsters, Orc could use skills while having a body that is stronger than human, that’s why, Orc is said to be a troublesome monster comparable to monsters from the lower-layer.
That is why Orc is called the fiend of the middle-layer.
…… However, Narsena had very easily defeated that fiend.
「Onii-san, I will collect the magic stones of these orcs now! The meat is bulky and there are only two of use, so let’s give up on them.」
「Ahh, right, I will also help to dismantle them.」
After having consecutive battles against orcs, we immediately started to dismantle the orcs as we had some leeway.
Seeing her, I realized I was underestimating Narsena.
There are two types of skills that adventurers use.
One is skills that continuously strengthen strength and magic, the other is skills that active for a short period of time that produces a special effect when attacking enemies.
Narsena has both kinds of skills.
It’s said that having two skills mean they have talent as adventurers.
But Narsena is more than that.
Both of Narsena’s two skills are excellent.
…… That talent is incomparable to mine, she who has demonstrated her talent is extremely strong.
And as far as I can see, Narsena’s strength doesn’t only lay in her skills.
Even though she has the foundation of talent, it would take considerable training for someone as young as her to be able to use the skills.
That was why, I made my decision after we finished dismantling the orcs.
「How is it? It’s amazing right?! I will protect Onii-san!」
Narsena rushed over to me to say just that.
Looking at her, I smiled, then said,
「Yeah, if I’m with you, it will be fine if we go to the lower-layer right now.」
「Yeah! That’s right……?」
…… Right at this moment, Narsena’s complexion changed.
