Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

"Sorry for the wait. I updated my stats just now, hope you didn't mind?"

-------------------------------------

The young girl shook her head, then looked curiously at the gentle-smiling face before her.

"Have you gotten stronger again?"

"..."

Fron rubbed his nose, this question wasn't easy to answer. If he provoked Ais again and she went wild, the blame would definitely fall on him.

"Eh, it's fine. I've grown just a tiny bit."

"Mm."

The girl truly, innocently believed someone's well-intentioned lie.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

The two set out together toward the dungeon, with Fron once again serving as Ais' supporter.

Leaving the mansion courtyard, passing through the park, they immediately drew countless gazes

...

"[Flame Demon] and [Sword Princess] huh ... "

"Pretty strange, normally you never see them head into the dungeon, but lately the Loki Familia adventurers seem super active."

"Well, there must be all sorts of reasons."

The two walked toward the central plaza as if no one else existed, while overhearing the whispers around them.

"So others have noticed too, that Raul, Anakitty and the rest have been frequently entering the dungeon."

"Yeah. Everyone's become more proactive. Ever since Fron came, everyone's been a lot more motivated."

This was an undeniable fact. Fron was like a snarling tiger, constantly baring its fangs at the ones running ahead, urging them forward.

Yes, especially the senior members of the Loki Familia, this was the anxious mindset they had when facing Fron.

Now that his level was on par with Anakitty and Raul, how could they not feel pressured?

Since they didn't plan on a long expedition, the two only prepared lunch rations. Ais originally intended to just make do with simple dry rations.

But Fron righteously rejected that idea, and instead bought several portions of Jagamarukun, Ais' favorite red bean cream flavor (extra beans, extra cream).

In these details, it was clear Fron was always paying attention to the girl.

And Ais' pretty face flushed red.

'Why do I feel this way only when facing Fron? This has never happened before… sweet, sticky. Very comfortable.'

In the central plaza of Babel Tower, walking one after the other, the golden-haired girl stared blankly at Fron's back.

As for Fron, carrying a supporter's pack and staff, he didn't notice at all the complex emotions and gaze filled with certain feelings from the girl.

Following the flow of adventurers, they went up the facility's stairs. Fron turned his head, intending to call Ais.

But, in that instant, he saw figures that should not be here.

Crimson short hair tied into a small ponytail at the back, simply dressed in tight leather armor and over-the-knee boots. Though she looked like she was just strolling the city, a weapon hung at her waist.

This crimson-haired girl's expression was stern, her eyes constantly filled with vigilance, as if guarding some important person.

In contrast, the other girl was different.

Her expression was excited, speaking nonstop, her big eyes scanning the street, though mostly lingering on men.

By chance, she spotted Fron and Ais together when he turned his head.

Though still at a distance, she instantly recognized the suspicious pair of Fron and Ais.

Sky-blue hair neatly tied down to her waist, wearing a hunter-like combat outfit and long boots.

Her refined makeup, highlighted with a forehead ornament, carried a divine aura. She was a beautiful goddess, elegant and exquisite. In Fron's eyes, her beauty was no less than that of the beauty goddess Freya.

Guided by her Familia, the goddess's gaze fell upon them, meeting the golden-haired youth's eyes for an instant.

"The goddess, Artemis, has her Familia returned to Orario?" , Looking at the [Artemis Familia] group, Fron muttered softly.

Their gaze crossed for only a brief moment, then shifted away.

"Mr. Fron? Miss Wallenstein?"

At this moment, another unexpected female voice interrupted Fron's thoughts. He and Ais turned slightly toward the sound, and saw in front of Babel Tower's elevator doors, a half-elf girl wearing a Guild uniform.

"You are… Eina?"

...

In front of Babel Tower.

"Cranel's in trouble? The [Soma Familia] supporter has issues?"

"Y-yes. According to our Guild investigation, their Familia's management is extremely chaotic. The higher-ups are preparing to intervene."

Fron frowned tightly, reflecting on the incident he had orchestrated earlier.

'I even said that much, and yet that Liliruca still acted? Is pure love really that unreliable???'

Sighing, Fron nodded.

"I beg you, I heard from Bell that your relationship isn't bad. Please, you must save him."

"Ah, don't worry."

Regarding those Soma Familia adventurers who engaged in betrayal and backstabbing, Fron truly wanted to personally kill them.

But why dirty his own hands when monsters could do the work? Why add unnecessary trouble?

...

Dungeon, sixth floor.

"Us moving forward so leisurely like this, is there no problem?"

Ais walked shoulder to shoulder with Fron, while faintly sensing the flow of monsters.

"Ah, no problem. Die? No way he's going to die. Don't underestimate Cranel, he's strong."

Fron wasn't worried about Bell's safety at all. A total cheat character, with a doting goddess backing him, if something happened, that'd be the real miracle.

Besides, he wasn't some saint. His strength was for protecting family, lovers, friends, comrades. Outsiders? It wasn't his job to be merciful.

With a "shing," Ais suddenly drew her beloved sword neatly and blocked Fron, eyes sharp and vigilant.

"What is it?"

Fron trusted Ais' sensing ability. Against monsters, she was like a human radar. Exploration was best left to her, he had no doubts.

"Monsters are being lured by something. It seems artificial."

"..."

Fron pulled back his hood, narrowed his eyes, and gripped the the staff behind his back.

"Let's go check it out. Maybe something troublesome is happening?"

He had already foreseen what awaited ahead. Lately, all kinds of rumors were flying: adventurers betraying each other, thieves inducing "Monster Feasts." From all the clues, he had roughly pieced together the truth.

It all originated from Soma Familia's divine wine...
