DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 96: Return Trip to Orario! The Idea of Weighted Training

The floor lord Goliath was unilaterally slaughtered, the speed faster than Yamato Mikoto had anticipated, not even giving her a chance to assist.

Unfathomable swordsmanship, a powerful combat style.

To be honest, that Liam could achieve this, her mood was unexpectedly calm. She even had a feeling in her heart…

"Isn't this very reasonable?"

Mikoto looked at Liam walking towards her, just silently returning her tachi to its scabbard, without any other words.

It was just that the seed planted deep in her heart showed faint signs of sprouting.

Holding the same thought was Lili, who had spent the most time with Liam. Noticing that the floor lord Goliath had been speedrun.

She looked up and signaled to her fellow supporter.

"It's about time to head back."

"."

Agreeing to help with the Familia expedition, Kashima had done a lot of mental preparation, including how to respond safely when encountering uncontrollable dangers.

The one thing he had never expected was that Liam, also a Level 2 adventurer who had never even set foot in the current area before.

Could directly activate speedrun mode in the Dungeon!

Kashima looked at Yamato Mikoto, who had already gotten used to it. His mood was complicated. He looked at the vast, empty room behind him.

At this moment, he had only one thought, and that was after leaving the Dungeon.

To inquire about Liam from the "Hestia Familia" – was he a new adventurer, or a veteran who had long since broken through to Lv2!

This unforgettable Dungeon experience, Kashima would find it truly hard to forget…

"Let's go."

"Don't make the Lady Goddess worry."

Even on the safe floors of the middle levels, the environment was somewhat like a natural oxygen bar. Only by truly leaving the Dungeon.

When the sunlight splashed on his body, would he have a feeling of being down-to-earth.

That's how Liam felt. Ending the compulsory Familia expedition, he just needed to report the final result to the Adventurer's Guild.

As for the "Soma Familia Destruction Incident," it was already completely over.

"There are still quite a lot of things to do…"

"But they can be handled slowly." His gaze swept towards the vicinity of the central plaza, where a considerable number of adventurers were gathered.

It was just morning, the peak hour for adventurers.

The first thing to do, of course, was to return to the Familia home, report his safety to his own goddess, and put Hestia at ease.

Next was to report the expedition results to the Adventurer's Guild and sell the dropped items.

It could also be considered a joint Familia expedition with the Takemikazuchi Familia. It wouldn't be right to have spent so much time together.

And not even have a celebration banquet in the end.

Just as they were about to part ways, the one socializing on Liam's behalf was the supporter Lili, carrying a huge backpack. Standing beside Liam.

She made reasonable arrangements.

"The celebration banquet is set for tonight, at The Hostess of Fertility restaurant."

"No problem, I will inform my Lord God to attend." Involving Familia diplomacy, Kashima Ouka was much more serious.

And from a rational point of view, with Liam possessing his current strength, developing a friendly relationship would be beneficial to his Familia.

Chigusa, with a relatively soft personality and short hair covering her eyes, quietly followed behind.

Just as Liam and Lili were preparing to leave, Yamato Mikoto, wearing Far Eastern style armor and combat attire, did not follow the team.

The young woman fidgeted with her fingers, recalling her experiences during this Dungeon expedition.

From the perspective of a junior in swordsmanship, she still owed thanks to Liam for his patient help and for pointing out the shortcomings in her own sword style.

And…

Her budding inner feelings. Mikoto, very rarely, hesitated.

God Takemikazuchi's guidance made her words and actions exceptionally polite. Walking up to Liam, she bowed.

"Thank you, Liam."

After earnestly expressing her thanks, when it came to her request, the young woman became a bit shy. The warm sunlight shone on her fair and delicate face.

Faintly revealing a bit of crimson. She lowered her head and stammered, "I hope to have the opportunity to... spar with you in swordsmanship."

"No problem."

After all, the "Futsunomitama" magic effect was truly overpowered. Through their interactions during this period, a bold idea.

Directly appeared in the deepest part of Liam's mind.

Could he imitate "King of Endurance Training, Koby" and use a gravity field to train in a high-pressure environment that restricted his own movements?

Would the efficiency of his ability score improvement increase?

He said sincerely, "Perhaps I will have to trouble you in the future."

"...!" Quietly standing beside Liam, both being girls... Lili's life experiences had made her much more mature than her peers.

Just now, Yamato Mikoto's solemn thanks and request.

For some reason, she always detected a slight sense of crisis from this young woman who was taller than herself and whose looks were passable?

The polite interactions with Kashima and the others. But when facing Liam, Lili's bright smile was full of girlishness.

"Liam, we earned a lot, a lot of money on this Familia expedition!"

"And we came back from the Dungeon alive." Only when they were alone did the young woman not restrain her inner excitement.

Thanks to Liam's monster-clearing efficiency, the harvest from this Familia expedition…

Completely exceeded Lili's imagination. Not only could it solve the "Hestia Familia's" current bleak situation of having no funds.

If they sold everything, they might even be able to rent a slightly more spacious room and move the Familia home out of the abandoned church.

Including herself, she could also move in to live!

"Unless you have experienced another's suffering, do not advise them to be good."

The former Lili was not worthy of sympathy. Now, getting along, they had also experienced unforgettable things. Had she changed?

This wasn't Liam's primary concern. Noticing the young woman's bright and gentle smile.

He felt it was very necessary to pour a basin of cold water on her, "You're right, but all this money is mine. Someone said they would work for free."

"There's such a good thing?"

"."

Realizing her true thoughts were exposed, Lili blinked her sly eyes and analyzed seriously, "I've estimated the adventure earnings."

"Changing to a Familia home with a slightly better environment, we should be able to rent it for 1 year."

"At that time, Lady Hestia and you, Liam, can move over. And Liam, you said you'd provide food and lodging."

"...If I move over, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Noticing the young woman's expectant gaze, the corners of Liam's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He always felt that the development of things would be very strange!

The words were already out; there was no taking them back.

He didn't speak, just reached out and gently rubbed Lili's head, which was covered by a cloak hood. If she had a pair of beast ears, it would be even better.

"Let's go home first."

"."

Besides reporting his safety and handling the aftermath of the Familia expedition, Liam was also quite curious about his adventurer title.

Logically speaking, breaking the world record…

The matter of a title would definitely be considered rigorously. As for a quicker method, that would be to just randomly ask a passerby.

The latter was simple.

But he felt that he could leave this "surprise" for Hestia to tell him herself.

And in the basement of the abandoned church, during the time Liam was on his Familia expedition, Hestia didn't just lie around at home.

During the day, she went to the Hephaestus weapon shop to work off her debt.

Anxiety was unavoidable, especially when she was tidying her close friend's office and broke several of her glass cups.

"Let's start today with working off the debt!"

"."

Changing into the gray-black staff uniform, a size perfectly tailored for a young woman, when she slipped her bare feet into the round-toed ladies' leather shoes.

As she gently hooked her heel with her finger, the already form-fitting style made her lines incomparably graceful.

After all preparations were made, just as she was about to head to the Hephaestus main weapon shop, several footsteps came from the corner of the stairs.

It didn't make Hestia feel expectant.

On the contrary, there was an indescribable sense of annoyance. With the "Fastest Lv2 Adventurer" identity becoming known in Orario.

It had already become her biggest annoyance.

An unknown number of Familia gods had made promises and conditions, hoping to get Liam to transfer Familias. The result, of course, was rejection by Hestia.

She went about preparing for work on her own, not even glancing behind her.

Her tone was not particularly polite, "If you're here to discuss Liam-kun transferring Familias, turn left at the door and see yourself out."

"For other matters, also see yourself out, because if I don't leave now, I'll be late for work."

"."

There was no reply. Instead, the footsteps suddenly stopped, making the young woman turn around in confusion. And the face she saw.

In an instant.

The most beautiful words in the world could not describe her smile at this moment.
