Chapter 47: Is That Some Kind of Signal?

Chapter 46: Is That Some Kind of Signal?

Soon, all the lizardmen have fallen.

Not only did they fall to Diere’s blades, they also fell to Lumia’s fists and Melika’s magic.

Those three girls displayed superhuman abilities. Especially Diere, who made Shien change the way he saw her to a certain degree.

Even Lumia and Melika gave worshipful looks at Diere.

“As expected, Diere’s still so strong.”

“No, she should have become even stronger than before, right?”

Lumia and Melika came over to Diere’s side and continuously chattered about like that.

It looks like those two girls were Diere’s fans.

Only, did they actually forget that Diere is actually younger than them?

Mah, there’s no rule that you can’t idolize someone younger. Wasn’t there a bunch of ladies madly following fresh meat far younger than themselves?

Got used to it is all.

“You’ve worked hard.”

While Shien was imagining random stuff, Vivian came up and checked over her friends. Her expression turned back to being gentle and friendly, completely different from the strong and confident showing she just had.

Naturally though, Diere didn’t particularly take everyone’s praise to heart.

“That much wasn’t really anything.” Diere’s voice was unshaken, “At least, I still can’t compare to her highness the princess.”

Those words attracted Shien’s attention.

Highness the princess?

Who’s that?

Without minding Shien’s thoughts, Vivian spoke again with a laugh.

“It’s a bit far-fetched to be comparing you to that one. Never mind within Mitra, no one in the world could compare to her. To find someone who could definitely win against her, even within all three worlds, you’re probably still limited to someone on the same level as the three great goddesses and the six great demon lords.”

What Vivain’s words received back was merely Diere’s silence.

However, that isn’t a voiceless rebuttal, but rather an agreement.

Obviously, Diere showed that she also agreed with Vivian’s words.

However…

“Hm?”

Shien suddenly gave a start.

Because, for some reason, Diere suddenly turned her head and looked towards him.

Although he had no way of seeing the expression or gaze underneath that hood, Shien could still feel that the gaze Diere gave him was filled with some considering meanings.

It was like she was giving Shien an appraisal, as if he’s being used as a comparison to something.

That action was something Shien really didn’t understand.

However, compared to that matter, Shien was more interested in a different subject.

“That [Magic Sword] just now was really amazing.”

With those words as a lead in, Shien tried to give a signal to Diere.

“… Hn.”

Diere was silent for a moment and nodded. It was a response at least.

“… If someone could learn it, no matter who it is, it would definitely be something to be proud of.”

Seeing that Diere’s response was so weak, Shien grimaced and continued trying to signal to her.

“Hn.”

This time, Diere gave Shien a strange look, followed by another cold nod, and again gave out a most basic level response.

“… Even though you’re so young, but as the saying goes, the first achievers lead, so even if it was something like being a teacher, you should be able to do it, right?”

Shien maintained a stiff smile and continue to furiously signal.

“…”

Diere went silent and no longer gave any more responses.

“…”

Shien too had ran out of words.

That girl is really hard to deal with.

“… What are they doing?”

“I… I don’t know…”

“Is that some kind of signal?”

Over by the side, Vivian, Lumia, and Melika looked at each other in non-understanding.

The atmosphere there had suddenly become somewhat strange.

Shien and Diere just stared at each other like that, also falling into silence.

After a while, Shien felt like he needed to go on the attack.

“I…”

Shien continued to construct hundreds of additional signals for use in his mind and got ready to seriously go at it again.

Unfortunately, Shien’s courage and perseverance was slain by a single sentence from Diere.

“You want to learn?”

Diere just directly stabbed into the heart of the subject without avoiding the issue.

Shien who got really to go at it was suddenly countered without any way of expressing it. The signals that were about to leave his mouth could no longer be stopped though, so he ended up giving such a response.

“W-Who wants to learn? Not me!”

Shien’s words became something like that, and his tone was filled with a strangely high tension too.

“”””…””””

This time, not just Diere, but also Vivian, Lumia and Melika all went silent. They just had no words.

Shien managed to respond too, and he seriously wanted to slap himself across the mouth.

(Where’d this tsundere bit come from!?)

Shien wanted to die there and then.

Yet, at this moment, Diere said something.

“I can teach you.”

Diere actually showed such an attitude in front of everyone there.

“Diere?”

Vivian was suddenly surprised.

“Eh?”

Lumia was also dumbfounded.

“Teach?”

Melika found it similarly unexpected.

That’s because, anyone who knew Diere would know, that prodigy girl isn’t someone who cares to get along with people. Her attitude towards others are generally super cold, and only with her comrades in the same party would she relax her attitude somewhat. Even that was only in terms of her attitude though, and she’s basically not the kind of person who would volunteer to help someone else.

Plus, Diere was also very much on her guard against Shien before, and she’d been treating him with caution the whole time.

For that Diere to suddenly make such a change, that was really unexpected for everyone.

What’s even more unexpected is that Diere would actually declare that she’s going to teach Shien the [Magic Sword] skill so straightforwardly.

“That’s [Magic Sword] though? A high level skill that could only be learned with a low chance for a level 70 melee type you know?”

The words that Melika had let out should be what everyone who understood the situation wanted to say, right?

A high level skill that even a level 70 melee type would only have have a low chance of learning. Diere managed to learn it before level 60 and she was already known as an unmatched prodigy, but now she wants a level 10 newbie to learn it?

Anyone who knew would have just a few words: Stop messing around.

But Diere didn’t particularly mind.

“Come find me after we get back to Lamdrion.”

With that, Diere turned around and left.

Lumia and Melika once more looked at each other before hurriedly following along.

“That…”

Shien still hasn’t quite managed to react and was still just blinking furiously on his own.

Vivian who was left gave Shien a deep and meaningful look, and, after a bit, bloomed into a smile.

“See? I told you that someone had already let down their guard against you, you just didn’t know, that’s all.”

Vivian spoke with a grinning tone, and Shien had no response to that.

“Alright.”

It looks like, as a Hero from transmigrating to another world, he has some weight after all.
