"I didn't expect you, Shinobi, to be the first member to be upgraded. Not only that, but you also have more physical skills, and there is also a harmony in the development ability, which is really surprising!"
In the room of Hephaestus, Hephaestus looked at the sheepskin scroll in her hand and said in surprise.
In front of her, Shinobu, who unbuttoned her clothes and exposed her back, skillfully put on her shirt again. Hearing the words of the red-haired goddess, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
That's right, in half a month, Shinobu has trained all of her abilities to the limit. Except for strength and durability, which are only C, dexterity and agility have reached the level of A.
Her magic power has even increased to S.
When her level is raised to Lv.2, the proficiency of basic abilities will be reset.
But this does not mean that all the efforts so far have been scrapped, but turned into hidden parameters. Shinobu can clearly feel that her current self is completely different from herself before the upgrade.
"The rise of the level is the sublimation of the container. After the upgrade, your upper limit has undoubtedly been raised. Next, you only need to continue to accumulate proficiency. Congratulations, Shinobu, you have broken away from the level of a new adventurer. You have officially become a senior adventurer."
Looking at Shinobu who doesn't have much sense of reality, Hephaestus explained with a smile on her face.
It's a pity that there are no new skills and magic in the upgrade, but the addition of the development ability of 'reconciliation' is also very helpful to her.
She really doesn't expect Yami to actually have the talent for teaching!
"Thank you, Goddess-sama."
Feeling the changes in herself, Shinobu finally showed a happy smile on her face, and bowed respectfully to Hephaestus, expressing her most sincere thanks.
You know, her sister and others haven't leveled up yet, but she is ahead of everyone else. This makes Shinobu, who wants to gain enough power so that she doesn't need to be protected by others, very excited. She can finally follow in everyone's footsteps!
"No, this is all your own efforts, so please work hard in the future."
"Yes, Goddess-sama!"
After a few simple conversations, Shinobu exited Hephaestus's room, the smile on her face could no longer be contained, and she bounced towards the library.
Perhaps it was because of being too excited, this normally meticulous girl seemed so 'presumptuous' at this time
She pushed open the door and said loudly, "Sister Tamayo, I have successfully upgraded!"
"Really? Wow! Congratulations, Shinobu."
Tamayo, who was reading in the library, slowly raised her head, showing a gentle smile, "You should be the first one among us to upgrade. Is it possible to fulfill your wish now?"
"Yes, it's also thanks to you, Sister Tamayo, I have found a fighting method that suits me, and I also thank you for the poisons you have studied with me. I have tried it, and the effect is really good!"
"I just played some trivial role, as long as it works."
Compared with other people, Ms. Tamayo did not want to level up as much as she imagined, but focused on learning medical knowledge. The various medicinal materials Yami picked from the big tree maze were of great help to her. Of course, She will also enter the dungeon, but not as urgently as others.
Goddess Hephaestus has said more than once that Tamayo is more suitable for Miach than her Familia.
"By the way, Sister Tamayo, do you know where Yami-kun is? I want to tell him the good news."
"If I remember correctly, he should be in the kitchen right now."
"Then I'll go find him first, let's talk later!"
Saying that, Shinobu waved excitedly towards Tamayo, then turned and left the library.
The entire Familia residence was already very familiar to her, and she arrived at the kitchen with ease. There, he saw a sturdy figure wearing an apron, busy inside.
Similarly, by his side, there is also a woman helping.
The two were working in full swing in front of the stove, and the scene could be said to be quite lively.
"Really, why did you invite Loki's Familia members to come over for dinner? Why should I cook the banquet myself? Shouldn't you find a higher-end restaurant for this kind of meeting between Gods, and then the members of the Familia members under your command will stand on both sides, isn't it more formal?" (Yami)
"What are you complaining about? Wasn't I also brought in to help?" (Tsubaki)
"Besides, isn't it because of the incident you caused on the safe floor last time? In the end, you got entangled with the sword princess of the Loki Familia and discovered by God Loki. Isn't that what led to this kind of thing?" (Tsubaki)
Tsubaki, who originally delayed her forging time, suddenly showed a dissatisfied expression, and even hit Yami's head with her hand, "You can get my help, you boy, you should be grateful!"
"But having said that, how did you train? You are clearly Lv.2, but your body is too strong. Even I can't beat you. You haven't been an adventurer for long. You really are a monster!"
Not paying attention to Tsubaki's movements at all, Yami skillfully stir-fried the food in the pot.
However, after hearing Tsubaki's words, he still rolled his eyes subconsciously.
"Do you think I'm willing? You said that what happened last time was a misunderstanding. Later, Ais and Tiona took the initiative to worship me as their teacher. You also know that I am good at everything, but there is no way to refuse the beautiful girl so I can only agreed."
"Hump, I really don't know how a playful guy like you is favored by Hephaestus-sama."
Tsubaki curled her lips in dissatisfaction, her face was full of contempt.
"This is probably the charm of my personality~"
Yami raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was full of complacency.
Putting the food in the pot into the plate, Yami was about to take it outside, when he turned around, the exquisite face of Shinobu appeared in front of his eyes.
"Yo, Shinobu, why are you here?"
"Yami-kun, I have successfully upgraded!" Shinobu said with a smile on her face.
"Oh? So fast? Congratulations~" Yami was a little surprised. Although he knew that his method was very good, he never expected that the effect would be so good. It took only half a month for Shinobu to succeed. This upgrade speed is another sensational news.
The record for the fastest leveling up of adventurers has been broken one after another. If adventurers from other families know about this, they will definitely cry.
Similarly, endless troubles followed.
After all, lower-level adventurers are the most numerous among Orario, and there are very few humans who can become upper-level adventurers.
Whether it is the proficiency required for ability value or the great achievements required for leveling up, it is not so easy to obtain.
So if other Familia members know that this kind of thing exists, they will definitely try their best to find out the news, and then use it on themselves.
It's a pity that Shinobu's progress may be replicated, but not everyone can do it.
At least you have to be able to survive a large number of monsters, and there is a high-level adventurer to escort you, and then add a magician with healing magic, and a valuable medicinal bath is indispensable.
This kind of treatment is not something that any adventurer can have.
Even if this situation is exposed in the end, the final answer will only disappoint everyone.
"Did you level up so quickly? Shinobu, you are amazing. Although you are not as good as Yami, it is already very exaggerated. You know, Orario's fastest record is one year. But the two of you can be upgraded in less than a month. It is too shocking."
Even though she said that, Tsubaki didn't feel discouraged.
In fact, the more senior adventurers the Familia have, the better it is for her as the leader, which means that she can hand over more complicated affairs to other members, and she can assign more time and energy to forging.
There is no so-called intrigue in the Hephaestus Familia, and the relationship between all members is very good.
"Captain is exaggerating. In fact, it is because of Yami-kun's help that I can upgrade so quickly. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take if I rely on myself!"
"Tsk, I really don't know what's so good about this kid. There are so many beautiful girls around him, and..."
She was about to continue to say something, but reason still made Tsubaki stop her words.
It's better not to talk about Hephaestus-sama behind her back.
However, she probably already guessed Yami's future life, it will definitely not be so easy, maybe some interesting things will happen!
Thinking of this, Tsubaki's face suddenly revealed a look of gloating.
"Hey, what kind of eyes are you looking at me, you, don't tell me you're planning something bad for me in your heart?" Yami, who had a panoramic view of all this, rolled his eyes helplessly, "I thought I could show you the forging technique of other worlds I had exchange with some forging masters, but now it seems that there is no need for this."
"How can you do that! Forging is my lifelong pursuit, if you don't show me, then I will die with you!"
Hearing this, Tsubaki suddenly became a little anxious.
However, what responded to her was Yami's playful look, "But you seem to be unable to beat me so your threat is completely useless to me."
"It's such a pity, you probably won't have the chance to see the beautiful scenery of the different world and all kinds of miraculous experiences, but it doesn't matter, anyway, you have dedicated all of yourself to forging, and you are not interested in these things either."
"As expected, you are the human being I admire the most, your will is too firm, and I still need to learn more from you."
While talking, Yami sighed pretending to be regretful.
Shinobu on the side could naturally see that he was playing tricks, and couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, but soon realized that her behavior was very inappropriate, and quickly restrained her smile.
Hearing it, Tsubaki already clenched her teeth and glared at Yami viciously.
The latter stood where he was, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he looked indescribably comfortable.
After a while, Tsubaki finally lost the battle first.
"Okay, it's my problem, okay, I apologize to you, I shouldn't think something bad about you."
Rubbing Yami's shoulder with her hands, Tsubaki's voice was no longer rough as before.
Although there is still a long way to go to act like a baby, Yami is probably the only one besides Hephaestus who can make this "one-eyed master" show this girl attitude.
Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth became even more curved, and he felt an indescribable joy in his whole being.
It's rare to see Tsubaki like this!
It's really indescribable excitement, as expected, he is also a sadist guy?
"Cough, for the sake of your sincerity, Captain, if there is a chance next time, I will take you with me. After all, forging day to day is very hard so work and rest is also very important. "
"Hehe, thank you so much!"
After getting this kind of response, Tsubaki breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time began to get angry.
However, having already seen what he wanted, Yami will not continue to argue with her, humming the song from his previous life, he continues to prepare for the evening banquet food.
Witnessing the interaction between the two with her own eyes, Shinobu smiled again.
A thought appeared in the girl's mind. Leaving her original world and coming to this world where gods and humans coexist seemed not as bad as imagined.
After collecting all the materials needed for her lord's body, maybe she can do some things she wants to do.
"Shinobu, don't be in a daze, hurry up and help, everyone will be back later."
The voice not far away brought Shinobu back from her thoughts, and then smiled sweetly, "I understand, Yami-kun, I'll help too!"
After her voice fell, the girl quickly walked into the kitchen.
As night fell, Kanae and others also returned to their Familia residence.
The situation was the same as before, the girl's face remained haggard, coupled with the blood stains on her clothes, she looked a little embarrassed.
It can be seen from here that it is not so easy to be an adventurer.
Licking blood on the tip of the knife every day, besides being exhausted to death, the income may not be very good. The only advantage is probably having power that ordinary people don't have!
Yami saw all this in his eyes, and then a thought came to his mind.
Perhaps the medicated bath can be popularized, so that Kanae and the others can take a good soak every night, which is good for both physical recovery and physical exercise.
Of course, that's all for later!
Probably to welcome the arrival of Loki's Familia, Goddess Hephaestus attended today in full dress, wearing a red dress, showing off her beautiful figure.
After a while, members of the Loki Familia appeared in sight.
The leader is Loki with a smile on her face, but in the eyes of Yami, the smile on the face of this famous god of tricks is always a bit malicious.
"Hey, Hephaestus, long time no see!"
As soon as the front foot stepped into the residence of Hephaestus's Familia, Loki raised her right hand and greeted Hephaestus.
At the same time, her eyes swept over everyone on the scene, and her tightly squinted eyes revealed a surprise that no one else could see at all.
"Are these the new children you recruited, Hephaestus? They really have potential!"
"It's just luck, hurry up and sit down, the dinner party is ready~" Hephaestus also showed a faint smile on her face, and brought Loki into the banquet hall.
The people who accompanied Loki this time were almost all the mainstays of Loki's Familia.
Except for Gareth who didn't come, people including Finn, Riveria, Ais, Tiona, Tione, Bert and Lefiya arrived at the scene.
Everyone is wearing gorgeous formal clothes, as if it is really a special day.
Entering the banquet hall, the eyes of Ais and Tiona fell on Yami in an instant, and the two girls trotted all the way to the latter's side, with a hint of joy in their eyes.
"Master, good evening."
"Good evening, Ais, Tiona, sit down wherever you want, knowing that Loki is coming, the time is not rushed, so I just prepared some home-cooked dishes, make yourself at home."
Yami looked at the two girls in front of him with a gentle face, and greeted everyone warmly.
However, when his eyes fell on Loki, the smile on his face suddenly became very stiff.
This god's malicious eyes...or in other words, the eyes full of malice have hardly concealed the slightest concealment, and they fell on him unscrupulously.
