"Holy Warrior, then?" Aurelia asks when we explain to her who Kathrina is.
"Yes, and Malkor’s Eagle," I say
"Ah! Yeah!" Kathrina says.
For a mont, she seed to be thinking about sothing else, and reacted in surprise when I ntioned her faction.
She barely presented herself, which seems odd to . She was beaming with happiness when she explained to who she was.
She seems confused, unfocused.
Maybe she is shaken... or she is not telling sothing.
"Ah, so goody two-shoes." Aurelia comnts.
"I guess I am, hehe," Kathrina answers.
"Your friend is acting weird." Floating beside , Kari looks at Kathri with her head tilted.
And yes, I decided to start calling them Kathri and Kari. It makes it easier for my brain.
She was with when I t Kathri. She was there, even if she was just in sword form.
Aurelia gives Kathri a Silver Sword she had.
"Think you can handle this, Holy Warrior?" The dragonkin asks her.
Kathri nods and takes the sword. The whole ti, she is holding it in her hand.
The exploration continues. As we go up, I notice that the majority of monsters are avoiding us. I saw a Dark Crawler looking at us from a corner in the ceiling, only to hiss and run away when we attempted to get closer.
That causes Aurelia to growl.
"Stupid cowards! A big tit Holy Warrior enters the party, and they all go running?! What about ?! I am a fucking Tyrant!"
"I am not sure if you are pissed because they are not coming or sothing else," I answer.
"Any negative comnts about my body, miss?" Aurelia gets closer, nacingly.
"N-no!" I put Bloodless in front of , with scabbard and everything, in an attempt to protect myself.
"She cannot hurt you, stupid," Kari says, rolling her eyes.
Of course, she cannot. But how else can I respond when a dragon-girl who is a bit taller yells at angrily?
I just overco my fear and we continue the exploration.
Not so long after, we find a couple of chanical Guardians. Aleria scoffs, and leans against another wall.
"All yours." She says.
I am impressed how she is ant to fight for and doesn’t do it.
But Kathri helps this ti.
Aurelia casts her Buff spells once more on to make sure I am top notch. I get the increase in HP, MP, and Magic.
I look at her and then nod towards Kathri.
"She has no need," she answers.
Kathri doesn’t flinch and runs towards the Guardians. She slices one of them. While she tanks, I cast [Electric Ray] on the one that is not in line with her.
The systems of the one hit with electricity malfunction, making it miss more often.
Kathri pierces the one she is fighting with her sword, and it falls.
The one I attacked uses [Rush] towards and quickly closes the gap. I get hit by the impact.
[chanical Guardian Rushes at you! You are critically injured (-1850)!]
"Shit!" I curse when I feel the slash of damage. But I am still alive.
I see Kathri run towards us.
But I cast [Firebolt] right directly there to the Guardian, and it is enough to kill it.
The bodies of the monsters drop and fall apart, leaving parts in their place. I kick them. I see if I get sothing from them.
[You got Scrap tal x3]
I know these items and resources, even when they are scrap, are going to be useful.
"You are always the hoarder," Kari says.
"Hey! You never know when you will need sothing. It is that simple. Besides, I am getting too much judgnt from soone who is barely doing anything!"
"I am literally your sword. If it wasn’t for , you would be stuck at level 1 in everything."
"I swear, you look like a madwoman talking with that spirit. I wonder if you hit your head at so point." Aurelia speaks.
"There must be a way to make her visible..." I take Bloodless and start to shake her.
"H-hey! Stop that!" Kari demands of , and then I see her face turn even more blue. She was getting dizzy.
"Oh, what I do with your sword really affects you!"
Kathri laughs at us.
"You look like you are going crazy." She comnts with a hand on her mouth and another on her back.
Her comnt makes blush at that mont. I put Bloodless back and close my eyes, avoiding making accidental eye contact.
"L-let’s move."
We reach the second floor. We were going to leave this place. It was easier than I expected it to be. Thanks to Kathri and Aurelia, I am capable of surviving this first challenge.
My mind is still wondering what happened to the kingdom. Why would they betray like that, steal everything, and then have thrown into a dium-level dungeon, too high for , with a curse?
Thankfully, they did not count on Bloodless and that I would get lucky and pull a [Summon Ally] scroll that would summon Aurelia. I could have gotten a small cat for what I know can be pulled from it.
But then I see the stairs to the first level.
"We are finally leaving!" I say with glee.
My tail starts to wag behind without my control. When I notice I beco too self-aware of it and I imdiately try to catch it with my hands.
When I notice what I am about to start to do, I look at Kathri, rembering that she laughed at when I did the sa last ti. But I only see her looking at with weird curiosity.
"W-what?"
She tilts her head.
"You are cute." She says.
"W-w-what?"
I was stunned. How could I expect a complint like that? It was unexpected.
"Do you think I am cute, too?" She asks and starts to approach with slow steps.
I freeze for a mont. I-is she confessing to ?
T-this is too sudden! We just t!
"I-I have since we..."
SWOOOSH!
A blade gets in front of us. My eyes go wide when I see it cut the air between us.
It was Aurelia’s scythe, to my disbelief.
"Aurelia, what are you doing?" I ask, trying to make sense of what was happening.
She puts herself between us, pointing the scythe in front of her.
"Stop it with this bullshit, blondie... who the fuck are you?"
