[Chapter Size: 2481 Words.]Lucius Puild....
...
"Here it is!" Rose handed me the paper with the address, and I thanked her deeply. But not before also asking for Demeter's address, which I had always wanted from Hestia, and she always denied. Rose squinted, w why I wahe address of a goddess, but I just smiled, saying I had a message from Hestia to Demeter. I left after she handed me the information.
As I was leaving through the rge doors, I noticed Aiz oreet. When she saw me, she automatically drew her sword in a quient, not because of me or the niame I gained as an enemy of her family, but because of Riekling, who was by my side.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing? Are you thinking of attag my partner, huh?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Monster..." She muttered without l her sword. Many people tensed up at this moment in front of the guild, but I was angry, and Riekling was afraid, as Aiz was level six at this moment and could intimidate anyone, even I could feel the pressure that I was no challenge in front of her when angry.
"Don't even think about it, do you see this?" I took out a paper and showed it to her, even though we had stayed at a certain distance from each other.
"I know you have your issues with monsters, but Riekling is a tamed monster. If you want to kill them, go to the dungeon!" I said angrily, and by now, the otion had already affected the entire guild. Because who wouldn't reize the sword princess in Orario?
But to my horror and Riekling's, she didn't care about it and advanced. Riekling lost his head in the sed...
Siletled in for a few moments until the sound of fmes appeared.
*Fmes* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
Aiz was quick to dodge my attacks easily as I bombarded her in front of the guild, to the horror of all the witnesses. Never in their lives did they imagihat today, one of the great names in this city would attack a goblin in the middle of the street, and another unknown adventurer would be casting spells on the level six adventurer.
I didn't cast many spells, just enough to make her back off, even though I was already drawing attention as I cast these fire spells so quickly. I didn't want to be too spicuous.
"Why did you attack him!?" I shouted.
She didn't answer, still waiting for my sed attack. She probably didn't even uand why I was defending the goblin. Looking at his body beside me, the body and backpack disappeared with a light, catg the attention of the crowd, as it should disie with a magic sto behind.
"If you really want to attack, then bring it on!" I shouted angrily. [- INVOCATION SPELL, GOBLIN!!] A magic circle appeared on the ground in front of me. And a goblin emerged from it to the sighs of the witrying to uand how someone could resurrect the goblin again. But iy, it's an invocation, and no matter how many times it's destroyed, it be restored with all memories and attack him in front of me without harming anyone irritated me a lot.
"HEEEE!!!" Riekling protested when he appeared.
"And now? Are you going to kill him again?!" I shouted frustrated and mog the level 6 adventurer. She looked stunned for the first time, I had no ce against her, but was I going to lower my head? Of course not, even if I have my bones broken, I will face this withret.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!" A new voice was heard from the guild entrance. A fat elf was at the entrance, surrounded by many employees, Rose among them with a worried look.
"I'm being attacked here. I'm invitio attack my lised goblin again; I summon him all day." I said without taking my eyes off Aiz; I really felt angry at the irrational woman.
"HEE!" Riekling didn't like that.
"Stop this madness here!" He said threatening both me and Aiz.
"Tsk, I'll make you pay for this someday, Aiz!" I said to myself as I looked at her with cold eyes.
"Let's go, Riekling, let's get out of here." I said taking my eyes off Aiz while my goblin followed me. I didn't eveo talk to that elf because I knew I had the goblin's dotation with Rose, while Aiz herself was looking plicated after witnessing my goblin e back to life.
"Wait, about Bell..." She tried to say, but I gave her a stern look at that moment.
'Is she serious about wanting to talk to me after what she did?' I got a this thought.
"Do you still want to talk to me and know about my family member after everything? Go ask your advisor over there." I poio where the guild staff were, who had e out to see the in of the otion.
"Eina Tulle is her name. Now, I'm not in the mood to talk to you. Goodbye." I said, distang myself with ess.
Today would be the day she would meet Bell and start training him, but I didn't want to see her faymore.
Without wasting any more time and in a bad mood, I passed through the crowd that was still stunned by what happened. A bit further away, I checked Riekling's backpack; it seemed that everything in it before his death reappeared, to my relief.
"I'm sorry for this, Riekling. I hought that woman would attack you like that." I said to my panion.
"HEE." I took Riekling with me to the east side of the city, where there art of oriental culture.
Passing by various sushi restaurants and bcksmith workshops, I found a cssic Japanese mansion; this was the location Rose had given me.
[Author's his part of the city I mentioned is a location I'm creating here, it's not ical. Ahing, I had Aiz attack Riekling; I believe it makes more sense if she entered some monster iy. Knowing Aiz and her unditional rese for monsters, I know she hates dragons above all, but I don't think she wouldn't attack a goblin if she saw it ireets of Orario. I believe it makes much more sense for this attack to happen if she saw Riekling. And of course, Lucius would attack Aiz; first and foremost, my character is a chaos creator. I never liked fanfics where the MC is friends with everyohere have to be tensions and disputes, which is not difficult with his personality.]
At the gate, I noticed a small bell on the side and shook it t. I didn't have to wait long because 1 mier, a man with a serene look and bck hair tied on the sides came out of the mansion through the mairance; he was dressed in cssic oriental clothing. He looked at me surprised not to know me, but that probably increased his curiosity with my visit. I knew who this man was since he is identical to the character from the anime. What I found strange is that the god himself came to greet me at the gate, even though it's a small family, it's still strange fod to do this personally.
"Hello, Mr. adventurer, may I help you?" He said, calling me an adventurer, as he could sense my falna. Gods sehat; Hestia invited me to her family at the time because, even though I had excelesia in my body, I didn't have falna at the time.
"Hello, God Takemikazuchi, sorry for the visit, in case I'm disrupting any of your business, but I would like to ask you a favor." I said sincerely. He was a good God, so I had to be respectful to him; I treat people as they treat me; this is my universal w.
"And what would that be?" He opehe gate to talk.
"My name is Lucius Drakenar; I'm a level one member of the Hestia family, but I'm not here on behalf of my goddess. I came on my own because I need sword training and would like to know if I learn the oriental style with the katana, which your family masters!" I said sincerely.
"Hmmm, let's go in and have tea to talk." He said calmly, but he noticed the small monster by my side, hoping it wouldn't mimic Aiz, I introduced him quickly.
"Ah, this is Riekling. Don't worry; he is tamed and quite polite! Isn't that right, Riekling?" I said, a little embarrassed for not having introduced my partner before.
"HEEEE!" My support firmed my words.
He accepted my expnation, seeing that the goblin behaved well. We ehe pce right behind him, but I was thinking. 'I doubt he would agree to talk to anyone who asked for sword training in the oriental feng. As rare as that might happen, because I'm from the Hestia family, he gave me a ce to state my reasons.' I thought to myself.We sat in a pce that reminded me of a dojo; after entering a room, there were many katanas hanging on the wall. I was fasated while he waited for me to examihe details of the bdes.
"So, Mr. Lucius, I wonder why your i here and in the oriental fighting style?" He asked calmly while pig up the tea that an oriental woman brought to the small table in front of us. I had to get used to sitting with my knees oami while imitating the god in front of me with Riekling by my side, but he simply sat with his buttocks on the floor. Hiding my smile a bit with my panion and his ck of etiquette, which I didn't mind; he had just died some time ago, it wouldn't be fair for me to criticize him at this moment.
I looked at the god Takemikazuchi; he wanted my reasons for why I came here specifically. I could try elsewhere; Aiz would never be an option after today. I 't imagialking tain. But holy, I'm more ined towards the oriental style, something that most swordsmen here don't master, and I've always liked the katana more; I identify it as my personal style. I always had the idea that, because the sword is curved in the shape of a katana, it be faster and mile than a cssic medieval one; maybe I'm wrong, but it won't make me like the samurai style any less.
"I am a mage, God Takemikazuchi, and I am more powerful than anyone else in that department at level 01. However, I still have physical weaknesses and don't know any fighting style, besides swinging the sword and a 2-year experien the dungeon on upper floors." I said and sighed before tinuing. "However, I o improve this physical aspect, increasing my prowess with more sword fights than spells, and I identify with the oriental style. I know that this is my fighting style." I cluded my answer.
"Hmmm, iing. I do that for you, but you do something for me iure? Since you're not on behalf of Hestia, I'll ask directly of you." He pondered on what I said but showed no surprise at my statements. In the end, he accepted my reasons and was willing for a small price, one favor for another favor, fair enough for me.
"I accept, God Takemikazuchi. I will do everything within my means to repay this great help!" I said sincerely. As I said, I treat people as they treat me.
"Great, the's introduce you to your eacher." He said, getting up from the tatami while I followed. We passed by some other members of his family, who didn't appear in the anime. From what I uood, they were more focused on their oriental busihan going to the dungeon. My goblin didn't cause a otion this time, as I was walking with his God without him g about Riekling's presence. We reached the back of the house, and I began to hear the sounds of wood hitting and someone making small sounds with their mouth "HA, HA, HA" rhythmically.
When I saw the small courtyard behind the mansion, I saw a cssic view of a Japanese backyard in a . There was a stream with a waterfall and bamboo that went up and down as its tent filled with water, with a medium-sized ke just below, with many koi carp. There were bamboo shoots as well, like a mini-forest.
In addition to the magnifit view of the enviro, there was a girl in a kimono outfit, training on a wooden dummy. She was hitting it very accurately with her movements and was trolling her breath with each strike with the bamboo stick. After each strike, she let out the "HA" that I heard before arriving.
This girl is Yamato Mikoto. She is extremely beautiful like Rose; she has always been one of the top 5 women I found most beautiful in anime. I say that if I were to create a harem in this world, Riviera, Rose, Mikoto, Haruhime, aia would be among my choices as my favorite characters. However, I am a man of one woman only, who wants to avoid a headache from dealing with a variety of women in a retionship! Not to mention that Mikoto is in love with Takemikazuchi, so for me, just her friendship is enough.
Mikoto, seeing us approag, stopped hitting her "oppo," and she looked at me trying tnize me, but her god took her out of her thoughts.
"Mikoto-kun, this man is Lucius Drakenar. He is a mage from my friend and colleague Hestia; he has physical deficies as a mage and wants to learn our oriental style. I would like you to teach him." He said calmly. Mikoto analyzed me for a moment, thinking if I should learn from her or not. She must be thinking of some dition. But fortunately, she nodded as soon as she saw Riekling, making the word "cute" escape from her lips.
'Riekling be a great blessing sometimes!' I excimed internally.
"I teach, however, you must call me Sensei!" She said in silence while staring at the goblin. "Eh? Is that y dition?" I let slip. I was hoping she would call me Lucius-dono, but I won't die if I call her Mikoto-Sensei.
