Danmachi: Adventuring Till the End!

[Random sign-in has been triggered. Would you like to sign in?]

The system prompt sounded in his mind, but Orsted ignored it for the time being.

Because the scene in front of him reminded him of something.

It seemed that this scene was the beginning of the anime.

During the return journey of the Loki Familia's expedition, the first team encountered many Minotaurs while passing through the 17th floor.

However, the strength displayed by the Hiryute Sisters made the Minotaurs scare away.

A large number of Minotaurs fled to the upper floors, which also set the stage for the fateful encounter between the protagonist, Bell Cranel, and Ais Wallenstein.

Bell met Ais, and it was at this moment that he fell in love with her.

Later, his adventuring journey began.

Due to his admiration for Ais, Bell obtained the powerful skill, Liaris Freese.

Liaris Freese was essentially a cheat skill for Bell Cranel. It not only greatly increased the speed at which his basic abilities grew but also allowed him to break the upper limit of an adventurer's basic abilities, reaching SS or even SSS. Additionally, Liaris Freese allowed Bell Cranel to resist the charm of the Goddess of Beauty.

However.....

There was no presence of Bell.

"Sorry," Ais said softly as she approached Orsted.

"No, it's okay," Orsted replied, shaking his head gently after hearing her apology.

Then, Orsted sheathed his sword and picked up the magic stone on the ground.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from the direction where Ais had appeared. Both of them turned to look.

A few seconds later, a figure came into view.

"Ais, did you stop them?" the figure called out as soon as she appeared.

"Hey? Who are you?" The figure noticed Orsted standing next to Ais. When she saw Orsted's handsome face, her eyes lit up, and she asked curiously while walking toward them.

The girl had wheat-colored skin, had short black hair, and a slightly lean figure. She was the first class adventurer of the Loki Familia, Tiona Hiryute.

"The Minotaurs have been dealt with. He killed them," Ais said gently.

"Hey, did you kill them? Thank you very much!" Tiona's eyes brightened when she heard this.

"My name is Orsted, Orsted Altheris. Hello," Orsted nodded slightly and introduced himself to the two.

"Ais, Ais Wallenstein," Ais introduced herself in a calm tone.

"I'm Tiona, Tiona Hiryute. Nice to meet you, Orsted!" Compared to Ais's reserved demeanor, Tiona's introduction was lively and energetic.

"Nice to meet you," Orsted nodded, then glanced at Lili.

"Is that Pallum your companion?" Ais and Tiona also looked over. After seeing Lili, Tiona asked.

"Yes, Lili is my companion," Orsted nodded slightly.

At that moment, Ais spoke up: "What an impressive swordsmanship!"

"Indeed, a seamless and coherent fighting style, allowing this Pallum to exert maximum combat power with minimal strength," Tiona agreed, nodding.

Both of them were experienced adventurers, and their keen eyes immediately recognized the sword technique Lili was using.

Lili was able to hold her own against two Killer Ants in her current condition, largely thanks to the set of swordsmanship Orsted had taught her.

Without the Sun Breathing, Lili would have struggled to deal with even one Killer Ant.

After all, Lili's physique had only recently recovered to the point where she could function as an adventurer.

"Thanks for the compliment," Orsted said on Lili's behalf.

"Huh?" Tiona was slightly surprised by Orsted's response.

"Did you teach her?" Tiona asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.

"Eh? How did you know?" Orsted was taken aback.

"If you didn't teach her, why would you thank me for praising her?" Tiona replied with a grin.

Hearing this, Orsted felt a bit embarrassed.

He hadn't intended to take credit but had simply thanked Tiona politely on Lili's behalf.

After all, it was normal to be modest when someone praised your skills.

He hadn't expected Tiona to interpret it that way.

Though, in this case, she was right.

"Yes, I taught her," Orsted admitted honestly.

Ais's expression remained unchanged, but her gaze lingered on Orsted, flickering slightly.

When Tiona heard Orsted confirm that he had taught Lili, her interest in him grew even more.

She could tell that the swordsmanship Lili used was incredibly powerful.

Even for her, defeating someone using such skill at the same level would be challenging, with a real risk of losing.

Setting aside strength, the fact that Orsted has such a powerful skill suggested he was a seasoned warrior.

Tiona, naturally admired strong and experienced warriors.

If Orsted wasn't lying, then he was an adventurer worth befriending.

Unfortunately, In terms of overall combat, Orsted was still relatively inexperienced.

If he were to fight without using any weapon, he would be little more than a rookie.

It was a perfect misunderstanding.

"Hey, Orsted, which Familia are you from?" Tiona, eager to befriend him, immediately asked about his Familia.

"Familia? Hestia Familia."

"Eh? Hestia? Never heard of it."

"It's a newly formed Familia, nothing noteworthy."
