Vol 2 Chapter 24 (1/2)

Blue and Red

In the room that connected my psyche to the Jewel

It was as if I was seeing a dream

The conference rooem was that sort of real world of dreams

In that room, I faced the First Generation Today, the Third was also in attendance

Only he was just sitting there, and he wasn’t participating in the conversation

“What did you want to talk about regarding Aria?”

『Right How do you view Aria-chan’s impatience?』

I could understand her impatience

She wanted to become a first-class adventurer noin circles Unlikewith aspirations

The current me did have the desire to experience a Growth as soon as possible

But hoas I going to live henceforth? Even noas troubled over that

“… She’s going around in circles I think she could calm down a little”

To put it bluntly, I wasn’t really counting on her as that great of a fighting force

She gave us a nuot my back

To me and Novem, she wasn’t one ould cause harm

『I want you to resolve that Can I leave it to you?』

“… Eh? I will?”

Hearing his request, I crossed my arms

She was a co

If it could be resolved easily, then even I’d be the one requesting for it But the Third looked at me and shook his head

On the contrary, the First was overjoyed atthat

『Good answer! If we don’t dispel the worried of Alice-san’s living likeness, Aria-chan, I’ll never be able to calm down』

From my point of viehat I didn’t understand was the reason why she was trying to hurry things

Right now, it was the time for us to earnestly and steadily build up power under Zelphy-san’s direction If she recklessly got herself injured, there would be no point

The ti was limited

(I wonder if I should really ask for an extension)

Those were the feelings I held

『Well then, that ht Aria-chan Of course, with her using her Ge Skills』

“… Eh?”

On the First’s proposition, it ended up that I would be fighting Aria

The inside of the Jewel after Lyle had left…

『Are you sure about this?』

The Third spoke as he looked up at the First, as sitting on the table

He had perceived the First’s intentions ofwould proceed as planned, it seemed

『… You know, I’m not really that smart』

On the First’s words, the Third nodded

『Yeah』

『Hey, at least deny it a little! You’re randson, aren’t you!!?』

The First screamed at his cold treatment from the Third, and the Third broke out into a smile

Their personalities differed, but to the First, he was his grandson Compared to the other ancestors, it looked like he kne to deal with the man

『I’ it in this way If it were you, you could probably think of as many better ways as you wanted』

The Third ceased s, and disinterestedly unraveled the alternate ht up

『Aria-chan… I think it’s a good way for her to gradually build up confidence in herself She could use the Ge monsters Those around her would praise her, and Lyle would just have to provide a follow up Well, Lyle’s also abnormal, so he probably won’t look out for her that much Those sort of niceties should be left to Novem-chan, I think』

It wasn’t like everyone could grow immediately

The Third wanted to keep the long terradually iet the party to take a good shape

The other heads of history had similar opinions

The Second despised those who found dissatisfaction with the jobs they were assigned It see more severe

『I’ll bet that would be fine Steadily build their relationshi+p, and the three of theht There’s no doubt we can handle it cleverly』

By getting Lyle and Aria to fight, both of the in That was the plan the Third had caught on to

For Aria, her own lack of ability…

For Lyle, the strength of human will and desire…

He wanted to get the with the First, the others aiting for Lyle to get motivated for himself

Even so, feeling that the First was being impatient, the Third oversaw their discussion and bore witness to it

『So do you hate shrewd methods?』

『Can’t stand them But perhaps that sort of ould have a better success rate It took quite a while for h』

The First Generation had quite a frank personality

There were some unexpectedly delicate sides to hi corps, cut down the forests of monsters, and expanded fields of his own

A nor the difficulty of that, or make the appropriate preparations for it

『If it’s your guys’ ways, it’ll probably tie itself up nice and pretty But… in that case, they’ll start to rely on one another』

『There’s noothers in areas where you’re lacking yourself, though It’s just that I truly do feel Lyle needs to find a little more motivation』

The First stared intently at the Third, as usually quite carefree

『When you say it, it’s got no persuading power, man』

『Of course~』

Saying that, the two of them smiled, but the First stopped and made a serious expression

If he was but a si corps would have been annihilated, and eaten up by monsters His extreme instincts and perceptionwith

But he also understood that some senses were needed sometimes

『Let’s let them clash, and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll be satisfied with that If it’s that person’s descendants, I don’t think her feelings will lose to Lyle』

『… So you’re saying there’s no way Lyle will lose as a whole? Well, he probably won’t』

There was quite a gap in ability between the two

Aria was the daughter of a noble She could probably useher spear, it could be understood that she was trained as the daughter of a warrior

But compared to Lyle, she fell short

Even to Lyle, who had never undergone Growth before, Aria fell short Just like the boy, she didn’t have the necessary aptitude as an adventurer yet, but more than that, she didn’t understand herself

She was just squirlessly

『Let’s leave the healing to Noveo at each other’s throats for once Well, it’s a nice way to resolve things, fitting of me, isn’t it?』

『So exchanging blows to deepen friendshi+p? No, is it affection in this case? Lyle still hasn’t accepted that, though』

The Third see fun

In truth, the scene of Lyle’s troubled figure after Nove to him

『That part included, I want the at Aria-chan at all I want hinored, that bastard is…』

The First let out a sigh

The Third got the feeling that the First felt Lyle overlapping with himself

『… Are you sure you aren’t talking about the you of the past?』

Hearing the Third’s words, the First glared at him, but he soon shook his head and took a deep breath

『Perhaps you’re right』

For a while, the two stayed there, lost in thought…

Morning

After finishi+ng o out and call Zelphy-san to the house

I told Aria I had business with her to let us talk

(It’s the First’s request, so I guess we’ll fight)

I didn’t know his aiood idea of it

It was probably so Aria to learn her ability level, or so like that

We walked into the yard, and I turned to her

“You have your faht?”

At my question, she tilted her head and took out the red pendant she had turned into a necklace fro and showed it to me

“Of course I have it In order not to lose it, I always carry it on ateZelphy over?”

As I thought, because of her io hunting already From my point of viee should put some breaks in with moderation and systematically set out to defeat monsters

There was no point if you pointlessly got yourself injured, and it wasn’t like ere short on

“… When the two of theet here, there’s soht me?”

On my proposal, she seemed bewildered

“Why should I? If you don’t like me, then you just have to say it!”

I wasn’t sure as going through her ht I didn’t like her

I didn’t have any recollection of having treated her especially cruelly, so I didn’t get where these accusations were co from

“It’s not like I dislike you or anything If you have a geht? Then you have a need to test it out, don’t you?”

Hearing em, her face stiffened

Perhaps she was reade

From an overuse of Skills, blood erupted from all over his body His muscles tore and blood oozed froht for the eyes

Of course, ere able to treat it with

The irregular use of Skills…
