Episode 43.2 (1/2)
The following day, a little while after breakfast, the five people who would go into the dungeon with them arrived.
An elderly woman of an awfully short stature.
A knight-looking woman clad in a high-class metal armor.
A woman with a wicked look on her eyes wearing a huge hat.
A small woman in a thief-styled outfit.
A big woman with two wands hanging on her waists.
The elderly woman piqued Lecan's interest. She's small, all smiles and looks like your harmless friendly neighborhood old woman at a glance. However, her true nature could not be farther from truth.
(Well damn.)
(She may not measure up to Shira.)
(But she's got more mana than me.)
(No less to expect from the <Dungeon of Magic> I guess.)
(Wonder if there are more monsters like this around here.)
Lecan has been using <Life Detection> in the town since yesterday, but since the town is choke-full of people with strong mana and they tend to crowd together in close proximity, Lecan failed to notice a mage of her caliber until now.
The other four have quite the mana pools themselves. These women may look like a knight or a thief, but their real nature must be that of mages.
”So you are Lecan-dono.”
It's the knight-looking woman. She's an owner of startling beauty but she's got quite a strict expression. Her gaze is awfully sharp. Like it would stab you at anytime.
She's got an aura of the strong. Frankly speaking, this woman would have proved to be a far tougher opponent than the two people Lecan faced in the courtship duel. And even though her mana pool is not quite the elderly woman's level, it's still of a respectable amount.
”Yea.”
”I am Ui, a magic knight affiliated with Palcimo Magic Knights. And from the right to the left, these here are Jiza, Fuan, Miru and Kim. We will accompany your quest to explore Dungeon Palcimo in the next three days.”
”I see. Good to meet you. I'm Lecan. This boy here is Julius.”
”Julius-dono. Pardon me for asking, how old are you?”
”I am thirteen year old. Please don't worry about adding dono to my name.”
”So you are. But still, 13 years old huh.”
Magic knight Ui's gaze loosened up. But that gentle gaze evaporated right away and she turned an icy gaze back at Lecan.
”So it seems that you have conquered Dungeon Tsubolt.”
”Yea.”
”You cannot be telling me that you brought Julius with you when you did.”
”I didn't. Was with his father.”

”His... Father.”
”Yes! My father and master Lecan conquered Dungeon Tsubolt together.”
”I... see. You are following your father's footsteps.”
