Chapter- 22
--------------------
"haa…fine-" lili began to tell her life story, meanwhile quietly listening to her story with a serious expression.
After finishing listening to her, yuno gives her a sympathetic look thinking about how much she has to endure but he knows what he needs to do.
"Hmm….I may have a solution to your problem" yuno said while looking at depressed lili.
Lili looked up at yuno with a little hopeful expression and asked "What is the solution?"
"You need to become strong," yuno said as he thought this is the best thing she can do right now to become strong and face her problems head-on.
"But It's impossible" lili became more depressed, it's not like she doesn't want to be strong but she can't become strong.
She believed this is mainly because of 2 reasons-
from her childhood, she only got bullied, never able to train or get any support from her childhood and the second reason she got no talent was because of her race after all pallum is known to be the weakest race.
No matter how she tried, it was useless. She could only endure or hide while trying her best to keep herself alive despite being hunted by her familia.
"Why? you will never know unless you try yourself "Yuno asked with confusion, as he continues "Everything is possible if you try hard enough"
Lili looked at yuno for a while with a stunned expression and thought 'Yes he is right, after all, he can become this strong while being blind what excuse do I have?'
After making up her mind she looks at him with a more determined look and said "You are right, nothing is impossible"
"Good" Listening to her words, he said this with satisfaction.
"But how?" Lili asked this as even though she made up her mind she still didn't know how to achieve it since no one taught her how to fight.
"You don't have to worry about it, I will personally train you" yuno confidently said since he got the Fujitora template, he also got his experiences.
The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether she can learn haki or not. After all, unlike him, she belongs to a different universe from the one-piece universe.
"Really!?" Lili exclaimed excitedly since she knew how strong yuno was.
Yuno nodded and asked, "By the way, which weapon do you use?"
lili thought for a while and replied "Crossbow and other than that…..I use a dagger"
"Ok, then let's get started," Yuno said while he put stuff aside and held his cane with both of his hands without taking out the blade.
"You mean… right now, ``Lili said with a little hesitation since it was too sudden.
"Yep, get ready," yuno said while taking his stance.
"What do you me-ahhh!!" Before she could finish her sentence, yuno hit her head with a can in his hand making her fall backwards.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What was that for?!" She rubbed her head while looking at Yuno with accusing eyes.
"Of course, this is to train you," yuno replied while he gets ready to hit her again.
"Now get ready," yuno said seriously.
*gulp*
Lili unconsciously swallows her saliva thinking about whether she made the right choice or not.
.....
At night…..
In the dungeon…
"haa…haa…ha…" on the ground lili was laying on the ground while heavily breathing as her body is covered with sweat and bruises
She only has one thought about yuno in her mind right now 'Demon'.
When she remembers all the things she experienced she couldn't help but think yuno is a demon in the skin of a human.
"I think it's enough for today, let's continue this tomorrow," yuno said as pick up his stuff and was ready to leave.
"Tomorrow too!?" Lili exclaimed this loudly with tears in her eyes, as she was barely able to survive today.
"Yes, of course after all nobody can get stronger in only one day," yuno said while he picked up his stuff.
In today's harvest, he only used conqueror haki to hunt the monsters this time.
Because it will help him to focus his attention on Lili's training and it will also help him to level his only haki to advance level as well.
His current template progress is-
[ Name- Yuno ]
[ Current template- Blind Admiral ]
[ Template progress- 63.63% + 0.12% ]
[ Abilities- Gravity, Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Conqueror Haki → Advanced Conqueror Haki ]
[ Daily task- 100 push-ups, 10 km run and 1000 vertical slashes ( completed ) ]
Even though today's harvest may not be as good as the previous one, he was satisfied with his skill upgrade.
Today he was able to collect only about 500 low-level magic stones.
"Let's go back," yuno said as he offered his hand and helped her to stand up.
Yuno and lili exited the dungeon as they made their way to the guild.
On the way, Yuno was lost in thoughts thinking about Lili's current situation in her familia.
Since her god is not doing anything as well as it is also useless to report to the guild since the guild is forbidden to interfere in matters of familia.
After thinking for a while he decided to ask Hestia since she is also a goddess she must have a solution to the lili problem.
As they reach the guild and enter to exchange valis.
But this time as well Eina is not present. Instead of her, there is still a cold red-haired milf named Rose present.
After exchanging the magic stones and loot, they both exited the guild and separated ways.
When yuno passes near the hostess of fertility, he suddenly remembers he has to return the lunch box which he got from syr the beautiful grey-haired waitress.
But sensing the rush in the pub, he decided to return it to tomorrow.
After returning to church, he finds Hestia laying on the couch.
As soon as Hestia notices the yuno, she quickly launches herself at high speed toward him as she hugs him and asks him tons of questions at once like always.
After claiming her down, he begins to prepare dinner.
As they finished their dinner, Hestia began to update his status-

...
One week later…
The following week, nothing special happened.
Same regular schedule morning dungeon, teaching lili as well as making money in the progress.
Right now they are on the 3rd floor of the dungeon.
Lili is fighting a monster in close combat with a dagger while Yuno observes her movements from a distance.
During this week lili improves by leaps, she can fight level 1 adventurers without any problems.
Even though she can't handle groups now she can protect herself well as well as she can also provide support from behind.
Also, yuno's prediction about her not being able to learn any type of haki comes true.
But still, her improvement is nothing but a sort of miracle thinking back to one week ago when she wasn't able to stand in front of the monster.
He also talks about her situation to Hestia and she was furious with Lili's situation, she promised to go to Soma familia personally to talk with their god about this.
"Clap* *clap*
"That's enough," Yuno said as he saw Lili kill the monster.
"..ha…haa….ha.." Lili comes back as her body is covered in sweat and she breathes heavily.
"Let's go back," yuno said while picking up his stuff and preparing to leave.
Lili nodded her head and prepared to leave.
Both leave the dungeon, right now they are heading towards the guild.
During this week, yuno wasn't able to upgrade that much.
