After I V-brother Zheng 50

"Kaguya is as beautiful as ever tonight."

Alicia smiled and casually commented, "But she always puts on a fierce look, even though she's clearly concerned about her little sister's safety..."

"It's just like Dr. Möbius!"

She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Qin Yu interjected.

For a time...

"Don't drag me into this so easily."

The snake seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and frowned, saying, "I'm not as kind as this little girl."

"I can't be bothered with those who like to court death..."

"Yes, yes, yes?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Beside him, Qin Yu held a glass of iced cola, his smile enigmatic.

Mebius fell silent.

Because she then realized that, facing this time traveler who 'knows the future,' her current boss... her rebuttal would seem quite powerless.

After all, the other party really knows me.

Of course, even if that were true, Mebius would never admit it himself.

Qin Yu and Alicia remained silent.

There's a limit to how much you can joke around.

If we anger the snake, then it won't be fun.

As for the others...

Cangxuan, Danzhu, and Klein were eating snacks and drinking milk tea.

They keep their eyes down and their noses closed, trying their best to become invisible people with low profiles.

no way.

They wouldn't dare joke about Mebius as casually as Qin Yu and Alicia did.

The Vilvies, on the other hand, focused their attention on the big screen in front of them.

Eden and Blanca exchanged knowing smiles without saying a word.

And Desdovia...

"Our [Lotus] went to that world, it feels... like she's been given a cheat code!"

These days, our team members have learned a lot of secrets related to the world of DanMachi, either by watching cross-border live streams or by talking to Qin Yu.

That's why Desdobia is giving this assessment now.

The current situation of these people having fun is another matter.

Looking at the DanMachi world alone, Kaguya and the others are currently unaware of the 'Law of Conservation of Smiles'...

"Tsk, in the end I still have to be the villain."

Kaguya, being the vice-captain, had no choice but to take the initiative to handle these troublesome matters after everyone's attempts to persuade Ren failed and their own captain proved quite unreliable.

“Then let’s do as Alicia said back then, Lian. As long as your strength is recognized by me, I will allow you to go to the dungeon.”

"However, don't blame me for not warning you, even if you cut someone with the back of a knife, it still hurts a lot."

As she spoke, Kaguya, who was gripping her long, narrow katana tightly, turned the direction she was holding it.

With the blade facing him, he slowly raised the sword...

At the same time, the petite figure in front also assumed a fighting stance.

At this moment, [Lotus] held a wooden knife in her hand, holding it horizontally in front of her face.

"Ok?"

Kaguya, who hails from the Far East of the world, has studied swordsmanship since childhood and has never seen such a bizarre stance.

But she was, after all, very experienced in this field, and she did manage to see through some of the clues.

In fact...

If Kaguya had ever been to the Black Bullet World, she would have discovered that this was the starting stance of a sword-vibrating technique from the 'Tendo-ryu' school.

As mentioned before, after Li Sushang went to the background of the 'Divine Land' to study the real ancient martial arts classics, Qin Yu originally looked down on these unorthodox skills.

However, this so-called 'Tendo style' also has one advantage.

Quick fix!

In just the last few days, a few terracotta warriors maintaining the 'Kempfa' combat system in the Black Bullet World watched the girl named 'Tendo Kisara' practice her swordsmanship.

[Lotus] had already remotely shared and learned all of her combat skills.

Right now, the move that [Lotus] is using is one that Tendo Kisara created himself.

It can unleash supersonic slashes with the physical abilities of an ordinary person.

Its name is—

"Bah~"

Their figures intertwined.

Everything happened in an instant.

"?"

Kaguya's face showed a look of astonishment.

The long, narrow katana in her hand had just been knocked away by a tremendous force.

It almost flew out of my hand.

It should be noted that in the world of DanMachi, an ordinary Lv.2 adventurer can run as fast as a horse.

Kaguya is a speed-attack type Lv.3.

But now, she turned her head blankly, looking at the wooden knife that had reached out from behind, resting on her shoulder and hanging by her neck...

"Click~"

The blade of the wooden sword broke off completely.

It clearly withstood immense pressure that its material simply couldn't withstand.

The broken blade clattered to the ground...

"!"

The other members of the clan who were watching nearby all showed expressions of utter astonishment.

What just happened?

"What happened? Kaguya lost?"

"This……"

……

Without a doubt, Kaguya Gojou's ability to become the vice-captain of the Astrea Familia was already widely recognized.

Even though everyone present knew that Kaguya was only testing the newcomers and hadn't gone all out, and that she had been somewhat careless, but...

A level 3 adventurer, an elite who has twice broken through his own limits in dangerous situations and achieved 'great deeds' before leveling up.

Their nerve reaction speed is unmatched by ordinary people.

With this foundation in place, no matter how much leniency is applied...

"Our little sister is truly extraordinary!"

Lyra thought to herself, "I originally thought he was just another magic idiot, but I didn't expect him to be so good at close combat as well."

"It should be possible to develop along the 'magic swordsman' path, which has greater potential."

While she was secretly analyzing the situation, Kaguya's side...

"That was a secret sword technique, wasn't it?"

She was able to accept defeat gracefully, sheathing her long, narrow katana 'Higanbana' and turning to look at [Lotus] behind her. "Does it have a name?"

Seeing her ask that...

"Dragon and Tiger Double Strike Stance - Asafoetida Double-Headed Sword".

【Lotus】 replied calmly, “The Dragon Tiger Double Strike stance excels at defense and counterattack, and the counterattack can be quickly followed by a second strike after using the ‘Awei Evil Double-Headed Sword’ variation.”

"At this point, my slashing speed had already exceeded the speed of sound."

No wonder...

Even with Kaguya's Lv.3 physical abilities, she could only barely catch a glimpse of her afterimage.

Although she should have a chance to defend against such a sudden and abrupt attack if the two sides were to engage in a true life-or-death struggle, it is clear that such an attack could easily lead to an unexpected defeat.

Not to mention, the current [Lotus] is only a Lv.1 newbie.

During the brief exchange between the two sides, [Lotus] did not utilize her superhuman physical abilities.

"That's a terrifying move."

Kaguya commented as follows.

Little did she know that quick-learning combat techniques like the 'Tendo Style' were utterly beneath the surface of the 'Shenzhou Land', the backdrop of the Black Bullet World.

Therefore, in Kaguya's eyes, Ren, who is not yet proficient in using the ancient martial arts techniques circulating in the latter region, is only a 'genius with the same level of swordsmanship as herself' for the time being.

Yes, similar techniques also exist in the 'Gojo-no-ke' school of martial arts that Kaguya belonged to in her early years.

In the original timeline, she even managed to injure Fang Hai's exceptional Lv.7 level character with her current Lv.3 combat power.
