NOVPUBTo Litty, he was nothing more than just an obstacle blocking her path, someone who was trying to drag her down.
Litty’s face instantly turned grim as she realized that the people like Zhul, who attacked Maamu, were also ones who were reaching out to her from the depths of the abyss.
“I’m going to be okay.”
Suddenly feeling the pressure emanating from Litty, the branch manager hesitated to give Litty any more words.
***
Litty was curious about Roma’s condition and visited the Dancer’s Guild. Lively music and strange voices were coming from inside the building.
Everything inside was new to Litty. She was almost tempted to also try acquiring this title, but restrained herself. She did not want to delay her trip to Taharajal any longer.
“Hai! One! Two! Three!”
A world of dancing taking place inside. Many people of all genders were doing moves that Litty could not understand.
Litty could not imagine how this could be utilized in battle.
“Roma-sama! Excellent!”
What especially caught Litty’s eyes was Roma’s gorgeous dancing. Litty was mesmerized by her incessant and bewitching dance.
A perfected dancer was a sight for all to behold. The current Roma was as close to perfection as she could get, and her learning speed alone was almost on the same level as that of Litty’s.
“Yes! Break time! Oh, what do we have here, a small spectator?”
The instructor noticed Litty, and Roma turned around, hesitated a bit, but smiled. She was somewhat embarrassed to be seen by Litty in her current state.
Roma had aimed to be a fighter at first, because of a self-image she wanted to reach. However, that self-image she was aiming for had changed a bit after delving into the world of dancing.
After a break, everyone relaxed as they wanted to, and Roma, while facing Litty, could not make eye contact.
“Roma-san, you look so beautiful.”
“Re, really?”
“Yes, you do.”
Litty’s simple compliments made Roma feel embarrassed. She would have to show her progress at some point in their journey. However, she was still embarrassed to show her current unfinished work when she was not ready to do so.
She was still practicing, and she didn’t feel comfortable showing her unfinished work.
“I’ve acquired the Knight title.”
“I knew it. I did expect you to get it soon…. I also managed to make it to the final exam. I’m surprised at how fast I’m progressing…”
“That’s wonderful! Wooow! It makes me also want to try being a Dancer…”
“We don’t have much time left, and I’m worried about Kuufa-chan and the girl with her… By the way, Litty, did anything dangerous happen to you?”
“What? What Danger? You mean, the mock battle with Ilysis-san…?”
“You were with Ilysis-san?!”
Roma grabbed Litty’s shoulder and shook her.
“Well, I did have a mock battle with Ilysis-san, and we had a bath together.”
“Bath!”
Roma’s high-pitched but heartbreaking cry echoed through the guild. The sight of Roma, who froze for a few moments and then collapsed to her knees, was unusual.
Many of the people watching the two rushed over to Roma, whom they thought to have fallen and fainted.
“Roma-san?!”
“Myan!”
Myan crawled over Roma’s body in a way that she remembered. It was the same action she did during the bath, but this scene turned into complete chaos.
As expected, Litty couldn’t keep up with what was going on, and was only seriously worried about Roma.
