Chapter 71 Misunderstanding

The name of the girl we met by chance is Mizuhori Touko. She is Harus classmate, a friend who is burning with rivalry toward her. Not only sports, but big eating too.

Still, I didnt think that Touko-chan would be here. The world is so big and yet so small!

Y-Yeah, thats right

With the flow of the events, Touko moved to the seat where we were sitting, but shes somewhat hesitating to say something. Compared to Haru who is pleased with the reunion, Touke seems a bit restless. Shes pretty shaken just like when she fell down before.

You see, Haruna Im sorry about the other day. You see, I was a little upset. Chinatsu got very angry after that. Im really sorry!

Touko suddenly slammed her forehead against the table and intensely apologized to Haru. Whats going on!?

Ahaha. Touko-chan, raise your head. Im not particularly angry, you know?

Yeah, I know. I knew that didnt mind at all about it. But, I feel bad if I dont bow to you like this. Let me do this for a while.

No, you dont have to. I just want to beat everyone. Youre making me uncomfortable if you do that.

No, but hm? Did you say something strange just now?

No, I didnt.

Haru looks puzzled, but the words that Touko heard were probably included with strange things, as she pointed out.

Harus reason for living is giant-killing. From the position of a weak person, she trains herself and challenges the strong. And by beating them, she tastes the sense of accomplishment with her whole body.

Although it hasnt come to light, the delinquents, Satous group, have been defeated by her. However, at that time they were already weaker than Haru, so she wasnt able to get the pleasure even a bit from overthrowing her classmates.

Then, this girl named Touko appeared. From what I heard, she has the highest power among her classmates. Thats why she is the best target in Harus mind. Thats why she doesnt have to apologize, she just need to train and become even stronger. Thats what Haru hopes for. In short, just wait for your turn.

Well, I understand your point. Also, Haru said its okay, so can you raise your head?

Anyway, the conversation wont go anywhere if we stay like this. So I also urged her to raise her head.

No, but Hey, Ive been wondering about it since a while ago. Ossan, who are you? Why are you here with Haruna?

You recognized me, huh? You were ignoring me, so I thought that you didnt see me

After all, this girl has been looking at Haru across me since a while ago.

Hes my master!

M-Master!?

Yep. I have been in his care and taking care of him in his house ever since I left the castle.

~~~!?

Touko blatantly looks surprised. Her mouth is opening wide. Whats with her reaction?

Nice to meet you. Im Deris Fahrenheit, Harus master. My Haru is always taking care of me.

Ah, hello. Im Mizuhori Touko H-Hey, Haruna. Come over here for a sec!

Eh, what?

I thought that you were not interested at all in romance at school, so your taste was like that, huh?

Err, what are you talking about?

No, how should I put it Hehe! I didnt think that we were similar in that aspect too! On closer look, his face isnt bad! Damn you, youre really something!

?

Touko happily strikes Harus back. On the other hand, I and Haru dont really understand the situation.

Come to think of it, Chinatsu also left the castle. She was taken by a super beautiful woman. Is she a big shot from the knight order? Haruna, do you know something?

Chinatsu-chan came to stay at Shishs house yesterday. Ehehe, she slept together (with me).

Bfft!?

Touko-chan!?

Touko took a mouthful of water and spouted it out grandly. Oh, is that reaction art is this girls trademark gag? I got it, I understand very well.

S-Sorry. I-I see, Chinatsu was also visiting Dannas place, huh

Danna well, whatever. Chinatsu just happened to be staying with us. Her master is not me, but that beautiful woman you mentioned earlier.

Her name is Nell-san. Shes very strong.

H-Hee, is that so. Still, I didnt expect that Chinatsu was also a comrade Moreover, shes pretty bold But, serious girls are easy once they fall after all

It seems that Toukos mind goes somewhere else. This girls reaction is quite interesting, huh.

After she calmed down, we resumed the chatting while eating the cake. At the same time, the two started building the Petronas Twin Towers on the table. Even now, they are still ordering more. Are all the stomachs of high school girls these days like this?

By the way, Touko-chan. Now that you are in town, does that mean everyone can leave the castle now?

Hmm? Ah, its not like that. Last week, they allowed free activity according to the level. Level 3 only on the designated floor, level 4 inside the castle, level 5 like me and Akira can go to the town. Something like that. Were the only ones at level 5 yet, so those who want to go out are training desperately. Its rare to find someone who is satisfied with the current situation. After all, the higher the level, the more privileges you get Ah, sorry. I shouldnt have talked about it to you

Touko feels awkward and scratches her head. It was two weeks ago that she saw Harus status and at that time she was no different from a village girl.

Maybe she feels sorry for talking about level. But on the other hand, Haru is

Waah, everyone is doing their best! Ill have to work harder too!

She is very happy. Prodigies who work harder than talented people who are satisfied with the current situation. Im sure that Haru wants to fight them.

Ah, thats right. You were that kind of person who always positive like that, a kind of person who outruns others with great momentum even though you started late. I guess I cant lose here. Danna, please take care of Haruna!

Hm? Ah, I know.

You dont need to tell me. Its my hobby and my duty as her master to make her strong and see how far she can go. I wont let anything stand in my way.

You too(TLn : he called her kimi, not by name)

Just call me Touko, calling me like that makes me feel itchy!

Touko, the way to level 6 is a long way, but dont give up and keep working hard. Although, the one who has the job hero probably will level up faster.

Ah!? Thats not true, Danna! Im working harder than Akira, you know?

Looking at her state, it seems that she wants to claim that she is better at the daily training. However, when it comes to raising the job level, having a job hero is advantageous.

You see, the job hero is connected to every skill. No matter what skills you learn, it will lead to raising the job level. Touko, even you dont pick the skills related to your job for all the slots, right?

No, well, thats

Everyone has a direction they aim for, they pick skills by considering the balance of the status. This is not something to be ashamed of. Its just that hero is a unique job. But

But?

In exchange for gaining that benefit, the skill level is directly linked to the strength. Being still at level 5 even with all the skill levels combined, theres a possibility that his combined power is weak. If Harus job were hero, she would have been level 6 by now.

By the way, level 6 requires a total of 400 job-related skill levels.

Ah, you are right. With just looking at the normal job level, you cant tell how high the level of the non-related skills.

Right, if you let your guard down just because your opponent is low-leveled, you can sometimes lose badly. You should be careful about that.

Yes!

Huh? I feel like I heard an amazing number just now

Thats just your imagination.
