DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 98: Tsubaki: This Weapon Durability Consumption, Is He Even Human?

The speed of his ability score improvement somewhat exceeded Hestia's expectations. This could definitely be considered a leap in improvement.

She found it hard to imagine how Liam had achieved this.

It was only when she finally saw that glaring great feat that she suddenly felt these things seemed to become reasonable.

"As a Lv2 adventurer, single-handedly killed the floor lord Goliath."

If Hestia remembered correctly, the potential ability score of a middle-level floor lord could rival a Lv4 adventurer.

Its specific strength, no matter what, could be compared to a Lv3 adventurer.

She didn't continue to straddle Liam's back. She rolled over to sit on the edge of the bed and handed him the cowhide paper with the rubbed status.

Any more questions, her incredibly complex mood…

Finally just turned into a sigh. She said softly, "Liam-kun, you've really worked hard during this Familia expedition."

He didn't answer directly.

Liam browsed his updated ability scores. Of course, they hadn't reached their limit yet; it could even be said there was huge room for improvement.

All in all, the effort he put in was well worth it.

His smile was relaxed, but his tone was exceptionally serious, "As long as the effort put in yields rewards, this can't be called hardship."

"It's just that to break through to Lv3, I still need to settle for a period of time."

The great feat to raise his level was already ready. The next thing to do was simple: continuously undergo Dungeon training.

Max out all stats to the SSS level.

The gap in physical potential, the main thing was to accumulate small amounts to make a large one. It couldn't be said that he could fight across particularly large level gaps.

But at the very least, against adventurers of the same level, he had to achieve a crushing effect, right?

Now that his ability scores had been updated, Lili was heading to the Adventurer's Guild to give the final report on the Familia expedition.

And to exchange the spoils for Valis.

Next up was to repair the weapon after the high-intensity devastation.

Looking at Hestia, who was bending over to put on her shoes, her face filled with gratification, Liam smiled and suggested, "It's about time."

"To take Lady Hestia to work, and repair my weapon along the way."

She had intended to let Liam rest well and just pack a bento to bring back at noon, but she hadn't expected him to bring it up proactively.

To have more time together, Hestia certainly didn't mind.

After putting on her ladies' round-toed leather shoes, she lightly stood on her tiptoes. Without her blue "holy relic," the form-fitting white blouse.

Was perfectly complemented by the young woman's excellent figure. Accompanied by the action of kicking her toes.

At this moment, the "Law of Universal Gravitation" was perfectly manifested on Hestia, but she herself was completely unaware of anything amiss.

Putting on her blouse jacket again, her smile was full of slyness when she turned her head sideways.

She extended her hand, waiting for Liam's response, "Okay, so is Liam-kun also considering setting off now?"

"Definitely."

Liam put on his shirt and took the hand Hestia had proactively extended. It was soft, much more interesting to hold than a sword hilt.

This statement was limited to non-combat moments.

The fastest adventurer to break through to "Lv2," a great feat that broke the world record. After these seven days of settling.

Most adventurers had already lost the desire to discuss it.

The curiosity about "Sword Soul" Liam's identity had also been diluted by various life and basement trivialities during this period.

In a sense…

The compulsory Familia expedition issued by the Adventurer's Guild had created a quiet space for Liam. He didn't even have a Familia home yet.

Even the "Hestia Familia's" crest hadn't been decided.

No one would associate Sword Soul with a young man passing by in a cloak. After all, there really weren't few young people in Orario.

And this situation didn't hold when he went out side by side with Hestia.

After all, the latter's reputation on North Main Street, and even among adventurers… wasn't particularly good. She had finally quieted down for a period.

A newly founded Familia, yet it had created such a sensation!

Even though he had mentally prepared himself in advance, when passing adventurers recognized their identities and discussed them without mercy, Liam still felt a strange feeling…

It was approaching noon, and the number of passing adventurers was relatively small, but they would all stop and discuss after Liam and Hestia left.

"The one next to Hestia... could that be Sword Soul, Liam Moon?"

"Very likely."

"Their Familia has very few members. Even the adventurers who wanted to join the Familia a while ago were rejected by the Natural Disaster."

"He's younger than expected. He hasn't really accomplished any great feats in the Dungeon, has he?"

A relatively young and tall beastman adventurer, with a conspicuous scar on his face, firmly memorized Liam's features.

Black hair, red eyes.

Habitually wears a cloak.

After withdrawing his gaze, a smile squeezed onto his ferocious face. He then squeezed into the discussion group and asked, "You all seem to know..."

"A lot about this 'Sword Soul'?"

"Let alone us, right now even the Kingdom and other cities, you probably can't find anyone who doesn't know Liam's identity!"

"Oh, can you elaborate?"

If Liam's mood was strange, then Hestia's could be completely described as nervous. Although she maintained her usual posture.

But the slight sweat on the young woman's palm could be detected.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't feel that with his cheats maxed out, being the "fastest adventurer to break through to Lv2" was something to be proud of.

For Hestia, who had a dependant…

It was indeed a unique experience. He didn't say much, just squeezed the hand he was holding a little harder.

"."

The young woman could feel Liam's intention. The nervousness in her heart eased slightly. A god who couldn't provide help.

To actually have such an outstanding dependant... and…

This was what Hestia least wanted to hear. It was even crueler than recruiting Liam. But there was one piece of good news.

That was, Liam had always been by her side!

They followed South Main Street to the central plaza.

Not many adventurers were gathered here, only a few scattered supporters who hadn't found an employer. Even when they cast their gazes.

Hestia could face them calmly. If there was something to worry about, it was probably…

When could the relationship between them progress further?

Arriving in front of the "Hephaestus Weapon Shop," the young woman stood on her tiptoes to arrange Liam's cloak, finally patting her hands in satisfaction.

"Very good! For repairing the weapon, do you need me to find someone for you?"

"I already have someone in mind. Senior Tsubaki helped me with the repairs last time, and she said I could find her if there were any problems in the future."

Thinking that it had only been 7 days since the weapon was repaired.

The key was that this was after its quality had been improved and Mithril and other materials had been added. Liam's footsteps couldn't help but pause slightly.

He hesitated whether to let Hestia hand over the weapon.

Just then, the smith Tsubaki, who had also just arrived at the weapon shop, heard Liam's conversation and didn't think it was helping for free.

Through repairing the weapon, she could also gradually figure out the means by which Liam maintained the weapon's sharpness and durability. She waved her hand casually.

"Let me see the weapon."

"."

Liam hesitated for a moment, but finally, under Tsubaki's "don't be fussy like a man" gaze, he handed over the short sword weapon.

His heart was filled with apprehension.

And Tsubaki, who took the weapon, decisively drew the short sword from its scabbard. Feeling the sword momentum rushing towards her, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

It was just that when she noticed the cracks on the sword body.

A head full of black lines gradually appeared on her mature and beautiful face.
