Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

—--------------

Chapter-18

—--------------

Lili, walking behind Yuno, looked at his back with complex emotions.

Lili was originally born to parents belonging to the Soma Familia, making her a member of the Familia from birth. 

However, her parents didn't look after her and ordered her to earn money for them instead. A while later, her parents were killed in the dungeon, leaving her to fend for herself.

The Soma Familia didn't take care of her and bullied her, making her lonely and isolated.

To earn money, she tried to be an adventurer but didn't have the talent, eventually switching to being a supporter. 

As a supporter, she was constantly looked down on by those she partied with, fueling the hatred of adventurers inside her.

After a while, Lili decided to run away from the Soma Familia and become a normal citizen.

However, the Soma Familia found her and inflicted misery on the old couple who took care of her, destroying their store and stealing money. 

She began to hate Soma himself, wondering why he created a Familia if he wasn't going to take care of it.

From that time on, Lili began using her hatred of adventurers as an excuse to trick and steal from them.

Now she is under a big diploma about yuno the moment she knows he is an adventurer.

She is now confused about what to do. Should she hurt him?? Or Should she help him??

When she first saw him she was seriously injured by her fellow familia members but she was able to manage to see him, he was the most handsome person she had seen in her whole life.

He fights for her sake who is a stranger to him Moreover, he is blind but for some reason, he can see without his eyes.

On one hand, she wants to repay him for saving her.

On the other hand, she remembers how adventurers treated her in the past and now she only wants them to die.

That's why she decides to follow him to the dungeon to see if he is the same as those adventurers.

If he is the same as those adventurers then she will give him an ending like those adventurers.

Even though she knows is the only supporter who is considered weak, she is a very smart person and possesses a strong insight which she uses to outsmart the adventurers in the dungeon to steal or trap them inside.

But she hopes inside her heart that he will be different because of the care he shows earlier.

Also, the more important thing is that if anything happens to him then she may not be able to eat his superb cooking in future again, if possible she doesn't want that to happen.

Looking at the back of the handsome blindfolded boy who is walking with a cane in his hand with a Complicated graze, she continues to follow him.

...

They both reach the dungeon, people are now entering the dungeon or waiting for their party members to come to the entrance while some invite other adventurers to party with them.

When they arrived at the entrance, Yuno unconsciously attracted all the attention of the people towards him because of his unique features.

Even though yuno didn't mean to attract attention but due to his god-like face and wearing a blindfold holding a cane while moving like a blind man, yuno was bound to attract people's attention even without doing anything.

Women look at him with pity and confusion because of his handsomeness but the inability to see while men look at him with mockery, disdain and jealousy because they envy his looks.

They all were confused why someone blind person became an adventurer since it was obvious because of the armour he is wearing and supporters following him it's obvious that he is an adventurer.

But nobody comes forward to team up or even ask him if he needs help.

Well, this is normal after all, a dungeon is no joke it is a complex labyrinth where there are countless floors filled with traps and monsters. If they help someone who can't even see in the dungeon it will only bring trouble to them.

Only if he was not blind then maybe adventurers take him as a supporter especially females who will love to use him as their boy toy to satisfy themselves.

Yuno ignores all the stares and walks beside Lili towards the entrance of the dungeon since he already used this.

But on the other hand, lili looked scared by the Attention, she tried to cover her face with her hood.

They both enter the dungeon while they ignore the people's curious eyes.

They both entered the first floor and found a spot where nobody else was present.

Yuno spotted the horde of monsters which consisted of goblins and kobolds.

Yuno simply rushed toward them while he took out the blade from his cane.

Lili watched this scene in horror as she quickly closed his eyes afraid to see what was going to happen.

But after a few minutes when she didn't hear any screaming as she expected.

She then slowly opens her eyes to see the scene which causes her eyes to wide open in surprise and makes her speechless.

Around 15 to 20 heads of monsters laying on the ground separated from their bodies while yuno standing in the middle of this with an expressionless face like it doesn't affect him at all.

Then monsters disperse into particles leaving behind the mana stones and dropping items while yuno puts his blade back in the sheath making it look like the same old-fashioned cane.

*gulp*

Lili unconsciously swallowed her saliva as she quickly run towards yuno and said:

"That was amazing!!"

"I haven't seen any adventurer who can kill that many monsters all at once!!"

"I am sure nobody can do half of what you have done!!"

Lily's mouth was full of praises while starting to act like a little fan girl towards yuno.

This time yuno didn't use armament haki, conquered haki or devil fruit ability

Since lili is present he didn't want to reveal his abilities and make her feel inferior also there is the fact that template progress also filled fast compared to when he used his other skills to attack groups.

In this fight, he only relies on his sword and observation haki to predict their moves and cut their heads with swift and clean cuts.

From yesterday's experience, he didn't feel any kind of negative emotions and was also able to understand how to finish the monsters in an easy and fast.

Yuno simply smile at her and went to pick up the loot.

"Wait!! Please let me do it since it's my job after all" she said as she quickly started to collect the magic stones and drop items.

Even though yuno agreed to take her with him, he didn't mean to make her do anything since he still think she needs rest from yesterday's injuries.

But sensing how she doing her work without asking, he smiled and helps her to pick up the loot.

"Let's continue," yuno said as he and lili finished picking up the loot since there is a supporter for storage he didn't have to worry about killing too many monsters.
