With this, are we okay with coordination?After that, and after taking lunch in between, with Urania and I as fixed members and 2~4 other members from "Grim" and "Fyneh" in a temporary party, we defeated several monsters we found. Most of the monsters that appeared were mainly the common Growleus and Goblins. We also encountered some rabbit monsters and the all-popular slime and such, but as expected they can"t even be even be called a threat, so they"re defeated by the person that found them.
By the way, just like how the Goblins become a greater threat when they swarm, it seems that when other monsters group into a certain amount of number, the monster acting as the leader also evolves into a higher cla.s.s species. When a monster evolves into a higher cla.s.s, naturally, the monster itself gets stronger but it was really surprising, since the other monsters around also leveled up in strength.
Then if they continue to evolve, they will become a King-cla.s.s monster. The Demon Lord that was in the story of the Kingdom"s founding was said to be a higher evolution of the King-cla.s.s, and was also said to me lead monster that were from a different species. On top of the Kingdom not being even a country at that time, organizations like the Guild that leads people like adventurers to hunt monsters also haven"t existed yet, so they say that King-cla.s.s monsters existed here and there. Although at the same time, it seems that there were 4~5 Magic-users like me in each villages, so you could really say that that era was a time of great carnage.
「Three Growleus! I"ll guide them!! "Burn"!!!」
「Aye-aye! I"ll hold one down! Still, they"re fast!」
「………」
「Leave it to me!」
While I hit the Growleus I found with the Magic "Burn", I lead them towards Urania and the others. As Jessica-san pins down one of them, Jarvis stops another one from running and Urania stabs them in their vitals. Unlike the time when just with me, Urania doesn"t challenge the Growleus one-on-one, but rather she kills the monsters that have been completely pinned on their tracks.
Of course it"s not that Urania can"t defeat one by herself, but it"s because we currently have more than enough people. In this situation, there"s no need to do dangerous things like that, and at the same time it"s training to better our teamwork.
「Yeah, that"s good. Keep it up.」
「Ufufu~ this reminds me~. In the earlier days~ Grim here would go and rush on by himself~~ Jarvis had a hard time back then, right~~ 」
「Audrey… Can you please not talking about that…」
「Oh~? But there isn"t anything~ that"s more helpful~ that a veteran"s past mistake, you see~」
「Are you sure you want to say that? It"s not like I don"t know anything about you too, you know?」
「My my ~」
「Fufufufu」
It feels like the party leaders are pinning each other down back with those evil smiles. I"m getting a bit curious about their past. A bit curious, but you know what they say, let the sleeping dogs lie.
I run up to Urania, and confirm if she has any wounds. Though I know that she"s not hurt since I was watching her from the rear, I can"t really help but check.
「Lily, it"s fine. You don"t need to check every time.」
「But, still…」
「Don"t you, trust me?」
「Ugh……」
Urania saying that while tilting her head slightly was, to be frank, too cute, but she"s right. Running up to her after every battle to check on her like this may be a bit overprotective of me. Still, I can"t really help but worry.
「It"s okay. I also got stronger. Thanks, for worrying about me.」
「Y-yeah. Call me if you get hurt, okay!?」
「Nn, understood.」
As though she sees right through my worries, Urania thanks me with a smile. Because of that, I reflexively blushed and ended up replying to her with a curt response.
Suddenly feeling presences behind me, I turned towards them and see Arisa, Rilsha and Emi-san smiling at me.
「W-what…?」
「Hmm? Nothing really?」
「Oh youth~」
「I can understand Arisa"s feelings now.」
「See~? I want to just take them home and cuddle them in bed~.」
I can hear a somewhat worrying conversion, too. I don"t have the intention of being a stuff toy, you know?
Well, it"s not that I can"t understand them. Urania"s re~ally cute, after all. And since this body was jammed pack with men"s ideals and dreams, so I have a lot of confidence in my looks. Still, be as it may with Urania, I don"t think these looks would really be popular with women though… In reality, what do they think about me?
「Nn? How do I say this, Lily-chan is kind of like a little sister you just can"t leave be?」
「She feels like a relative"s child, right?」
「Well, in short, somewhat….」
「「「Defenseless?」」」
「Ugh!?」
Somehow, there are a lot of things that come to mind with that. I myself, in awareness, am a guy after all, so it"s not like I have the characteristic female defenses.
As a result, the females of the party see me as a little kid and stuff. Furthermore, this appearance that was made while regarding j.a.panese aesthetics looks really young for this world"s standard. With the combined synergy, not only do I seem younger that my actual age, I even seem younger that how old I say I am.
「In other words, you"re treating me as a kid?」
「That"s right~」
「N-NOT AT ALL!?」
「How can you even sound that obvious!?」
In short, it seems like it"s that. Seeing the reactions of the adventures the other day and how the guild interacts with me, I feel like everyone"s treating me like this. Sine I"m like this, maybe I should act more seductive… but that wouldn"t be Lily anymore, huh.
How troublesome.
Heya! For the guy asking for more LilyxUrania, here you go~
It’s really nice how Lily is the one that’s easily embarra.s.sed~
Anyways, see you tomorrow and have a nice day/night~
