Chapter 415: Tsubaki: "Can I see your sword?"
Right after they arrived on the 50th Floor, they quickly set up their tents and prepared everything.
The members of the Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia worked together. After all, the faster they finished the preparation, the faster they could rest.
On the other hand, Lefiya let out a depressed sigh from time to time while looking in the direction where Tsukasa and Ais had disappeared.
“Hey, that elf over there!”
Lefiya didn’t seem to hear the voice from behind.
“Hey, that elf!”
“Kyaa~!” Lefiya suddenly let out a cute squeal when her shoulder was touched. She quickly put her distance and turned before she was dumbfounded by the sheer intimidation of the person in front of her.
Tsubaki Collbrande.
Lefiya knew who this person was. However, she wasn’t that familiar with her. Still, she looked at Tsubaki’s chest for a moment before she looked at her chest while murmuring something inexplicable.
Lefiya shook her head and asked, “Is there something wrong, Tsubaki-san?”
Tsubaki was speechless at how prudish the elf was, but she ignored it and asked, “Where’s Supernova?”
“Supernova?” Lefiya frowned, then asked, “Is it Tsukasa?”
“Oh, right! Kugayama Tsukasa, where is he?” Tsubaki asked with a laugh.
“What do you want to do with him?” Lefiya asked with a deeper frown.
“What? I can meet him, right? He is so handsome, after all. I want to ask him whether he can warm my body up tonight,” Tsubaki said with a laugh, but her body slightly shuddered when she recalled his cold expression when he killed all of the monsters on the 49th like they were bugs. She wasn’t sure whether it was scary or exciting, but she knew she felt a thrill.
However…
“Tsubaki-san, please respect yourself!” Lefiya showed her fangs and looked at Tsubaki angrily. “If that’s what you want to do, then I won’t let you meet him!”
“…..” Tsubaki was speechless and said, “I was joking, you know? I just want to see his weapon. You know, I’m a blacksmith, right? I am quite curious what kind of weapon he used since he could cut those monsters like nothing.”
“…Please don’t make such a joke again.” However, Lefiya still looked at Tsubaki in doubt.
On the other hand, Tsubaki could only shake her head at how prudish the elf was since they couldn’t understand the importance of jokes.
“If it’s Tsukasa, he’s over there.” Lefiya pointed at the forest right on her side. “He should be with Ais-san now.”
“Okay, thank you.” Tsubaki waved her hand and quickly went in Tsukasa’s direction.
While Lefiya and Tsubaki talked, Tsukasa and Ais were training their swordsmanship.
When Ais saw his new swordsmanship, she quickly fell in love with it, but no matter how many times she tried it, she couldn’t do it. “How can I use it?”
“…If you can use it so fast, what’s the point of me creating it?” Tsukasa was speechless since it was definitely impossible for Ais to learn the Edelweiss swordsmanship. “Instead of this swordsmanship, you should learn more about my other swordsmanship.”
The Edelweiss swordsmanship was good and powerful, but it was hard to learn.
On the other hand, his Formless swordsmanship might also be quite hard to learn, but it was quite easy to learn, and the effect could be seen immediately. It could also be applied to any swordsmanship technique without any problems. In other words, this swordsmanship style was convenient.
After all, Ais wasn’t stupid, and she also had a talent for swordsmanship. Under the effect of the “Moon,” which was part of his skill, she could learn even faster.
“You should focus more on the formless style,” Tsukasa said.
“I know, but I want to learn that one too…” Ais was sulking slightly.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to be in a hurry. You can learn it slowly,” Tsukasa said while patting Ais’s head gently.
Ais was embarrassed, but she didn’t want to move his hand away since this feeling made her heart flutter and happy.
Still, Tsukasa hadn’t perfected the Edelweiss swordsmanship yet.
While this swordsmanship was powerful, it had a great weakness where it was hard to stop the swing. However, it was normal since if one moved at such a fast speed, it would be impossible for one to stop so suddenly, right?
So he thought to create a technique to erase this weakness.
If Edelweiss’s swordsmanship was an absolute velocity, this technique would be an absolute stillness.
Still, Tsukasa knew that Edelweiss might have created this type of technique too.
After all, he must admit that Edelweiss’s talent in learning wasn’t much different from his.
If her ability could enhance her attacking power, she would be even stronger.
However, the path they chose for their swordsmanship was quite different.
Suppose Tsukasa sought the path of infinity. Then Edelweiss took the path of finite.
As for which one was stronger, they had to settle it on another duel.
“Oh, I have finally found you!”
When Tsukasa patted Ais’s head, he turned and saw someone had approached them.
Ais pouted when he didn’t pat her head again, but she looked at the person who came in their direction. “Tsubaki?”
“Sword Princess, you’re here too.” Tsubaki nodded and then ignored Ais before she looked at Tsukasa with excitement and asked, “Say, Supernova, can I see your sword?”
“Supernova?” Tsukasa was confused, then asked, “You mean me?” It was his first time knowing that someone called him the “Supernova.”
“Yeah.” Tsubaki nodded. “Who else do you think?”
The growth of Tsukasa was too fast.
Tsukasa had become a Level 6 right before the Denatus. The gods and the goddess didn’t even have time to give him an alias, so many people would call him the “Supernova.” However, they couldn’t be blamed since his time as an adventure wasn’t that long, yet his name had already echoed to almost the world.
His record was amazing, and no one thought that they could beat him in terms of raising one’s level.
It was also the reason why he had become the brightest star and eclipsed everyone with his light in the Orario.
“You want to see my sword?” Tsukasa asked. After all, while his sword was good, he knew that Tsubaki should be able to craft something similar. His sword shouldn’t be the only thing that made her interested, right?
Somehow his expression was quite subtle, but it was only for a moment since Ais was right next to him.
Ais didn’t say anything and just stared at Tsubaki suspiciously.
“Yeah.” Tsubaki was full of smiles, but her eyes were full of obsession toward the Drying Pole. “Can I see your sword?”
“…”
Tsukasa somehow felt that sentence was quite misleading.
