Am I in some kind of comedy?
Why are two grown girls sitting on their knees with their heads bowed, even though I haven't even started scolding them.
I know that in Japan, there's a name for this pose, but it doesn't matter to me.
"Okay, you two stand up!" I told them, rubbing my forehead.
"So what was that all about?" I asked.
"Well... it was just a friendly sparring match!" Alpha said.
"Seriously? Somehow I feel like the complete destruction of a training ground doesn't count as "friendly sparring," more like a fight to the death." I replied sarcastically.
"We just went a bit overboard." Acheron intervened.
"Crossed the line? If this castle was a normal one, you would have destroyed it!" I exclaimed, and they simply bowed their heads, still sitting on their knees.
Sigh.
"Okay, but I forbid you from such battles in the future," I told them, leaving them no room for indignation.
Although to be honest, I was pleased that Alpha was jealous he-he.
And of course, Acheron couldn't stay, she simply disappeared for dinner, saying that she had things to do…
We had dinner and went to bed, and the next morning…
"Alpha, why are you in my bed?" I asked the blonde beauty who was lying next to me and looking at me.
"I came in to wake you up," she said.
"And why did you then, get into bed with me?"
"Well, you were pretty cute while you were sleeping and you never know Acheron might show up again…" she fell silent.
She says all this with such a stoic face that it's hard to read her emotions if it weren't for her voice.
She was still jealous, heh-heh.
"God, Alpha, you don't need to be jealous!" I told her, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm not jealous! Who would want such a little girl…" she didn't finish, as she saw that I was half naked, and my mounds were right there for her to see.
Her stoic expression faltered for a second, and I saw a small blush on her cheeks.
She silently stood up and quickly left the room.
"Heh-heh, she contradicts herself." I told myself, smiling, Alpha is just a tsundere.
After getting dressed, I also left the room and headed to the hall, where Sakura had already prepared breakfast and set the table.
Today we had Japanese omelette and onigiri, I tried it for the first time, and it was really delicious, I especially liked the onigiri with fish, although it might be because I'm a cat or something like that.
"Fran, can we go see the pegasi today?" Luna asked me.
"Oh, I forgot about them!" I exclaimed, then looked at her.
"Yes, you can, but let Alpha go with you just in case." She nodded to me, and I looked at Alpha, who looked away from me.
Apparently she still can't get over that awkward moment.
Speaking of pegasi...
I don't know how or why, but I can clearly feel the appearance of different creatures in my dimension, all I know, what I know, is that they seem to see me as a king...
"Hmm..."-I couldn't help but think.
"Fran!"-I heard Sakura scream.
"Yes, did you want something?"-I asked her
"Fran, you've been staring into space for thirty minutes now, and you haven't answered my question, I barely managed to shout to you."-she said with a sigh.
"Sorry."-I told her, scratching the back of my head.
"I asked, are we going to the guild today?"
"Well, I guess so! We have nothing else to do anyway."-I said, and we need to hand in the herb-gathering quest so I can get one spin.
Taking her hand, we reappeared in the alleys, scaring some homeless person who ran away in fear.
Coming out of the alley, I already had the Mistsplitter Reforged katana hanging on me, my favorite, in which at the moment I combined the powers of Excalibur and Sakura.
Entering the guild, I did not pay attention to the many glances that the adventurers cast at me, probably because of the rumors about my strength.
I went to the counter and put a bag of herbs on it.
"This is what we collected, the woman with glasses!" I told her.
"My name is actually Nell," she answered me.
"Yes, yes, as you say, Neil." I saw her eyebrow twitch and she sighed in annoyance.
It was fun to tease her.
"Okay, I'll close the quest." She said taking the bag of herbs and giving us the money, which admittedly we didn't need, but I took it anyway.
"Wait Fran!" Nell said to me as I was about to leave.
"What else?" I asked in a bored voice.
"The guild issued an emergency quest for all adventurers to clear out the goblin lair. Could you come too?"
"Okay." I replied and left the guild, and Sakura just silently followed me.
Quest: There's Always a First Time! (Completed)
Details: Complete your first mission as an adventurer.
Reward: 1 Spin.
"System activating spin." I mentally said to the system.
[I confirm... Shizuku Yaegashi(Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou]
"System assimilate it." I said to the system, I immediately felt a little pain, this time the character was without a sword, and in fact it also did not add anything to my powers, but only slightly improved my knowledge of fencing.
In the end, we went to the goblin lair, which already had a lot of people, I, like everyone else, stood listening to the horned dude's speech, until we heard a scream, and after him a crowd of goblins appeared, which came out of the cave.
Without thinking twice, I rushed towards them, deciding not to use Excalibur's powers this time. Otherwise, a lot of questions might arise for me, which would be very annoying.
I just dodged between the goblins, my movements were like a dance, and every move I made killed them, they couldn't even touch me, so in the end, nothing was left of the former crowd of goblins.
I turned around and saw how many eyes stared at me in shock.
"Damn!" I broke free, because I didn't want to attract much attention to myself, but apparently in the heat of battle I forgot about it.
So, now I'm a goblin killer?
[Title: Goblin Slayer received.]
"You know what, go fuck yourself, system." I mentally told the system.
[You hurt my feelings]
"You deserve it!"
[... I won't deny it]
I turned my attention back to the people who were staring at me, which made me feel uneasy.
I shrugged and simply walked into their lair, which served as a signal for everyone to do the same.
Sakura, as always, followed me, only this time, I didn't draw my katana, but let her kill the goblins with Excalibur, the power of which I raised to 20%, I could have raised it to the limit, that is, to 50% of the power of my Excalibur, but even 20% was too much for the goblins.
Every now and then, goblin limbs, heads, arms, and even guts were flying around me. Sakura was seriously freaking out, and I bet I saw a sadistic smile on her face, but maybe I imagined it...
Luckily, one of Excalibur's passive skills saved me from blood splashes and everything else, but...
The smell is killing me, I understand that I'm kind of a cat now, but still...
I just followed Sakura, who was leaving behind many goblin corpses, until the goblin king and queen came out to us.
"Fran, can I?" - she looked at me expectantly, to which I simply nodded.
She immediately rushed towards them, the king raised his club to hit her, but she dodged to the right, and in one movement cut off the arm, and immediately dodged the queen's blow, cutting her leg.
She couldn't stand up and fell on the king, and they fell to the floor together.
Sakura jumped up, landing on their heads, piercing both heads with Excalibur.
She looked at me and smiled.
"Fran, why didn't you say it was so fun?"
I just rolled my eyes.
Battle maniac.
As soon as Sakura finished off the goblin king and queen, the rest of the goblins immediately started running, but many of them were unlucky, as they met Sakura, who was brutally killing them.
"Am I really the goblin slayer?"
[I'm... not sure.]
Strange, the system has become somewhat talkative...
I just shrugged my shoulders, and walked up to Sakura, who was standing in front of the huge door, we looked at each other, and nodded.
As soon as we stepped through the door...
"Oh Fran, look... Fran, what's wrong?" I didn't hear what Sakura was saying, as I was focused on what was in the room...
"BUGS ARE ABOMINATION!" I screamed, and activated Excalibur.
"Burn, scum!" I said, and began to perform purifications, rot.
"Fran, calm down, you've already killed them all. At this rate, you'll destroy the entire cave, and bury us alive!" Sakura told me.
"Huh?" Only now did I realize that all the bugs were dead, or rather, only ashes remained.
I was a little embarrassed because of this, I acted so impulsively, I just can't stand bugs.
"Why are you so embarrassed now, oh forget it, it makes you cute."
At her words, I simply blushed and turned away, which made Sakura laugh again.
It's weird, even though I didn't like bugs in my past life, but not to this extent...
"Anyway, look, there's another door over there." I said, wanting to change the subject.
"Changing the subject huh? I'll buy it then."
"Do you feel it?" I asked her when I got to the door.
"You mean mana? Yeah, I feel it, but it's nothing compared to what you have.
"Huh?"
"What? Aren't you deliberately releasing all your mana at full capacity?"
"Huh... no?"
"Why is that a question?"
"Then who knows how much mana I have?"
"Well, I guess only a few people in the guild who are strong enough to feel the mana around them. And compared to them, you are like an ocean, against the backdrop of a river."
"So that's why that elf was quite docile, he was afraid." - the realization came to me.
"Yes, most likely."
"Okay, in any case, we'll deal with this later, but for now let's finish what we came for." - I said, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
Sakura nodded to me and we went to open the huge doors.
