Multiverse Gacha

[15] Adorable Ais!

*ROOOOAR*

A Kobold roared, biting towards August's neck.

If this bite landed, it would be a certain death.

Swoosh~

Just at this critical moment, with his life on the line and about to be killed the next second, August disappeared from his original position.

This scene stunned the Kobold and also surprised Ais, who was rushing over with her sword.

Seeing August in danger, without any hesitation, she drew her sword. With the enhancement of wind magic, her speed was enough to take down the Kobold before August was killed.

However, August vanished in an instant, leaving her astonished.

Although August disappeared, Ais's sword didn't stop.

The sharp Desperate Sword directly struck down the Kobold.

"That was really dangerous!"

At this moment, August's voice echoed from the side.

Ais turned around and saw August standing there unharmed.

While August watched the Kobold being killed by Ais's sword, he felt a bit hit in his heart.

Even with all his firepower, in such a situation, a Kobold still managed to get close to him. If he didn't have Blink, he might have really been in trouble.

But what was now a threat to him was so weak in Ais's hands.

"You just..."

"Space magic. It allows me to instantly move to another location through space. Not bad, right?"

"A very powerful magic!"

Ais said seriously.

This statement was not a compliment but a statement of fact.

Having such magic was undoubtedly a lifesaving skill in battles.

When danger approached, being able to escape meant changing the course of the battle in just an instant.

Moreover, possessing such magic made August even more challenging to deal with.

At this moment, August also opened the system.

[Ongoing Mission: Test the Waters III · 143/1000]

After such a long battle, only 43 monsters were killed. It would take a lot of time to complete this mission.

It was clear that within these few days, completing this mission was not something to think about.

Yesterday, continuously hunting the lowest-level monsters on the first three floors barely reached 100.

Today, he had already gone deep into the ninth floor, and the strength of the monsters was starting to put some pressure on him.

August was not planning to go deeper. Instead, he chose to grind monsters for experience.

Kobolds were already a threat. If he wanted to go deeper, he needed to wait for another update in his abilities, further enhancing his strength.

Crack~

Just at that moment, Kobolds crawled out from the ground.

Different from Goblins emerging from the walls, Kobolds were born from underground.

"Monsters, face your judgment!"

As he spoke, the Gate of Babylon activated, and weapons flew out rapidly.

A group of Kobolds was troublesome, but dealing with just three or four in a designated spot was a one-way road to death.

Ais sheathed her sword, her gaze always locked onto August.

.

.

.

August don't know how long passed, under the tearing of the sword, another Kobold fell.

And at this moment, the mission panel finally reached [200/1000].

August also let out a sigh of relief, the task target for today was completed.

"Miss Ais, I think we've done enough for today. Let's go back!"

"Yes."

Nodding faintly, Ais's face was like that of an expressionless porcelain doll, and it was hard to discern any changes in her expression.

August didn't mind, he knew Ais was like this.

Although Orario was chaotic deep within, under Loki's protection and her familia companions, she seemed so pure.

The two walked side by side towards the upper floors.

"Do you want to learn sword techniques?"

Suddenly, Ais's melodious voice sounded from the side.

"Hmm?"

August looked at Ais in confusion.

"I noticed that you use skills in your battles. Even though you also fight with a sword, you don't know any sword techniques yourself."

"Well, I'm still a newcomer, you know? I've never been exposed to sword techniques."

"I can teach you."

"Why teach me?"

August was puzzled. In Orario, although there were no class distinctions, in this place filled with deception, apart from trusted companions, hardly anyone would voluntarily help others, let alone teach something like sword techniques.

Even in the Loki Familia, first-tier adventurers like Ais and Tiona wouldn't easily teach their companions.

"You can only help me get stronger by becoming stronger yourself!"

"Alright!"

Ais's explanation was very Ais, and August found it understandable.

At the same time, August had a guess, the reason Ais went to the dungeon with him today was probably to observe him.

Just like why Bell, the original series protagonist, could become strong so quickly and then be taught to fight.

Gurgle~

At this moment, a sound echoed.

Suddenly, the previously expressionless Ais's cheeks were tinged with a layer of pink.

This made August stunned, especially her expression due to embarrassment, making Ais look so adorable.

"You... didn't hear anything..."

Ais stared at August and slowly uttered these words.

At this moment, August was instantly charmed, she was just too cute.

He absolutely had to make her his, absolutely.

In that instant, August's mind was filled with only this thought.

However, soon, under Ais's 'gaze,' August quickly came to his senses.

"I didn't hear anything!"

Hearing August say this, Ais let him off.

However, through this incident, the relationship between the two involuntarily became closer.

"Do you want to eat?"

August took out a bucket of fried chicken—drumsticks, wings, and chunks. Although not much in quantity, there were plenty of varieties.

Looking at the fried chicken in front of her, recalling the memories of the morning, Ais's mouth began to water slightly.

Seeing Ais obviously tempted but not reaching out, August directly handed the bucket of fried chicken to Ais. Whether she wanted it or not was not important, what mattered was that he took the initiative to give it to her.

Holding the bucket of fried chicken, Ais did not refuse.

"Seeing you like this, you definitely didn't have breakfast this morning, yet you lied to me, saying you did!"

Just as Ais was about to eat the fried chicken, she heard August's words and blushed slightly.

Being pointed out, she indeed didn't have breakfast this morning, she had come to find August as soon as she woke up and hadn't eaten breakfast.
