"Ah, that's right. Do you mind if we come to the guild for a moment?"
*(Tilt)
"Do you want to register yourself, My Lady?"
"Of course not. It's just that I was invited by them. Well, I already figured it out their reason, though"
"Then, isn't it better if you don't come?" asked her.
Well, that's true.
"No. I think rejecting it straight in front of them is amusing. Don't you think so too, Dipha?"
"Y-yes, My Lady"
.
.
.

*(Step step)
"Whew..would you look at that? Two beauties~~"
"Hey, come here!"
Really? This is the more reason I hate the guild. Maybe that's why they lacks female adventurer.
"What can I help you with?" asked the receptionist.
*(Show)
"Ah! Please, come this way!"
Then, the receptionist guided us to a secret room. I guess it's really an important thing for them to uses it.
*(Open)
"Oh! Welcome!" said the priest.
"Come in!" shouted the Guild Master.
Oh? It's rare to see that a Xavier this calm.
*(Sit)
"So, what'd you want to talk about?"
*(Wave)
Not a chance for a rumors, huh.
"I'll be frank with you, Miss Llie. As the Guild Master, I want you to be an official adventurer, rather than a wandering swordswoman. It's a shame that a great talent such as yours is wasted. In the guild, if you ever need my help I will provide you with anything you need. How's that?"
Pfft. A wandering swordswoman? I don't know whose idea was it but she's worth to be rewarded.
"Hmm, interesting. But, I would like to hear the temple's one. Speak" said me.
*(Flinch)
"T-then, please excuse me" said the priest.
Oho? I just spoke rudely to him and he's still cool? Interesting.
"The Pope has agreed to allow you become one of the God's Paladin. Not only that, you can also form your own team for God's will. We will also provide anything you need. No matter what you choose, I believe your choice is also the God's will" said him.
A Paladin? Hell no. That means I'll become the Pope's loyal dog. There's no way I would accept this.
"That's interesting. But, I need to hear the Xavier's too. Speak, old man"
Then, the old man took out a necklace. It's an old sword-shaped.
"The Xavier, will offer you the position of vice-captain. That's it"
...just that? Wait, a vice-captain? Isn't that the highest position that could have their own squad other than the captain?!
"Really? A vice-captain, for an outsider like me?" asked me.
"This is an order"
I see. Too bad, I'm not interested.
"It's a shame, but I will not take Xavier's offer. As for the temple, it's not a bad offer but I will never accept it"
*(Shocked)
"M-may I ask what's the reason for you to reject such an offer, Miss Llie?"
"Just because? Well, I've been fighting for myself all this time. There's no way I will fight for the temple suddenly from now, right?"
*(Grit)
"I-I see. It's a shame, but it must be the Goddess's will. Well, I shall take my leave. Have a great day, everyone"
*(Step step)
"I guess you have your own reason, huh. I shall take my leave too. Farewell"
*(Vanish)
An assassin type, huh. No wonder he's so calm.
"So, Miss Llie. May I assume that this is your answer?"
Come to think of it. If my memories serves me right, Isn't the Guild Master in the capital a greedy old man? So why is this person in front of me a beautiful lady with her long black hair? Don't tell me...
"Not so fast. First, may I ask what your name is?"
"Sure. I'm Dhistia Trisha. I was transferred from the southern's guild. Sorry for the late introduction" said her.
Dhistia?!?! Yozita's older sister?! Why would she be here?
"That's quite far. So why did you decide to be transferred here?"
"Well, it was my little sister's request. She also said she wanted to work in the capital. There's no way I can say no to my adorable little sister"
Yozita requested it?
"I see. I'm sorry but, may I ask your sister's whereabouts?"
*(Tilt)
"Well, she's working as a maid at the Imperial Palace right now. Do you need something from her?"
It's weird. I never remember reading the part where Yozita worked as a maid. But well....should I take her?
*(Stand)
"Miss Llie?"
*(Grab)
I grabbed Dhistia's chair.
"Huh?"
As expected, Dhistia is a little bit surprised.
"Hey, Dhistia. Would you like to have a date with me tomorrow?
*(Blush)
"D-d-date?! W-why?!"
"Well, if I can't get to know you more, how can I trust the guild?" said me, kissing her cheeks.
.
.
.
.
"O-okay, I will go on a date with you"
"Good! Come to the arena tomorrow morning"
"Y-yes"
"Yahooo. Well then, adios!!"
*(Vanish)
...
"M-My Lady. Was that part of your plan?" asked Dipha.
Oh my, how cute.
"Are you jealous?"
*(Embarrassed)
"N-no, My Lady" said her, with a blushing cheeks.
"Fufu. Before dinner, do you want to train with me?" asked me.
"It's wonderful. But... we don't have a place, My Lady" said her.
*(Grin)
"Why don't we say hi to Mother and Father?"
"Huh? Do you mean..."
"Yes. We'll visit the main mansion of Isvara Dukedom. I also happen to want to train with my siblings too"
"B-but, is it fine for me to use the training ground, My Lady?"
"Of course it's fine. You're also my people"
I bet she thinks she doesn't deserve to be in Isvara's main mansion.
"W-well then. I-I'll be glad to join you"
"Good. Here, take my hand"
*(Sreet)
"Y-yes"
*(Grab)
~Dark Magic : Time Distortion~
*(Blink)
...
*(Wooosshh)
"L-Lady Denallie?!?" said one of the guards.
"Oh? Good afternoon, guys" I said.
*(Bow)
"Greetings to Lady Denallie Nayanika von Isvara!!"
Wow...
"Hahaha. Come on, you don't need to be that formal. By the way, there's no one using the training field right now, right?"
"Ah, yes, My Lady"
"Great. Do not let anyone other than my family enter the field while I'm not done, okay?" I said.
"Yes, My Lady!"
.
.
.
"Ok, Dipha. Take that wooden sword"
*(Grab)
"Today, I will teach you about one of my techniques. It's a combination of fifty movements. Elegance, powerful, and terrifying. In this technique, you don't need to have a strong power from the start. It requires you to master the strength you already possessed. Understand?" I said.
*(Serious)
"Yes, My Lady!
"Well then, shall we start?"
*(Vanish)
" Look closely, Naladhipa"
*(Slash)
"Ha!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Fitfty!!"
*(Whoosh)
"M-My Lady....? M-may I ask you something..."
"Hm? What is it?"
Somehow her expression....
"I-is that really one of your techniques...?"
"Yes, it is. Though, it was the weakest among the other techniques I have. What's wrong?"
*(Shocked)
"...the weakest..."
Is she upset that this technique was the weakest?
"Hm?"
"T-that technique was on another level, My Lady. I've never seen such a beautiful yet terrifying technique once. It is such a great honor for me to learn this"
Well, it's just a combination of many martial arts I've learned in my past life.
"Good. Now, fight me with the same technique I showed you earlier. You need to control your strength while performing it. So, fight me with that wooden sword until the last moves without breaking it. Understood?"
"Yes, My Lady!!!"
...
"Hey, how long has Lady Denallie been training?"
"Hmm, I think it's been four hours"
*(Step step)
"Did I hear wrong that my daughter was training?"
Suddenly, the stern voice of a commander sounded from a lady who was none other than....
*(Surprised)
"M-Madam!!! Greetings to Madam Glara Ishya Isvara!!!"
"Thank you. Now, may I go inside?"
"Y-yes, Madam!"
...
"HA!!!!"
*(Boom)
"Good. This is the 90th time. Have you fully grasped the power you have possessed that you learned the technique now?"
*(Pant pant)
"Haah...yes..My Lady..." said Dipha, panting.
*(Clap clap clap)
"Huh?"
"I never knew you had such a great technique"
Long black hair, a strong aura, and the voice of a commander who had a lot of experience....
"Long time no see, my cute, adorable, little Llie"
*(Shiver)
...Mother.
"Y-yes, it's been a long time....Mother"
Damn it. It must be about my participation.
"Oh? You're here too, Naladhipa?" said her, looking at Dipha.
"Y-yes, Madam"
*(Glance)
"Hm, why don't you train with me now, Llie?~~~"
Huh?
"T-train?"
*(Smile)
"Yes~"
"With Mother?"
*(Smile)
"Yes~"
.
.
.
She's not mad about me participating in the tournament?
"You don't want to?"
*(Shiver)
"Yes, I want!"
*(Smile)
"Good. Now bring it out"
*(Confused)
"Bring what out, Mother?"
"Your 'real' sword"
*(Flinch)
How....
"O-okay"
~Dark Storage : Eleena Sword~
*(Shaking)
"Ho? It's powerful enough to make the ground shaking?"
*(Bzzzt)
"Is this enough, Mother?"
*(Smile)
"Fight me with your full power, Llie"
Full power, huh...
"If you can even scratch me, I will give you a reward"
If Mother wants me to use my full power...
"Then it is my duty to fulfill your request!!
~Sun & Moon Alignation~
"Just that?"
No, Mother.
.
.
.
~Dark Magic : Full Moon Eclipse~
*(Whooossshh)
"I see...then is it my turn?" said Mother.
~Water Magic : Thou Who Drowned the Water God Itself~
*(Crack)
"Come, Llie!!"
