DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works

After listening to Shirou's account, both of them fell silent. A moment later, Riveria raised her head and looked at Shirou, asking seriously, "When do you plan to leave Orario?" Riveria had no intention of persuading Shirou to stay; she knew very well that his departure was inevitable, and her persuasion would only make things difficult for him. Riveria never did anything that would trouble her comrades. Moreover, from Shirou's previous stories, she already understood the significance of saving his sister to him. For his sister, he had even betrayed the noble ideals he inherited from his father. She knew very well that Shirou's will had long been as hard as steel.

Seeing that Riveria had no intention of stopping him, Shirou smiled and replied, "As expected, if it's Riveria, you'll definitely understand me."

"The day I leave Orario will be after this expedition."

"After all, this is a historic moment for our Loki Familia, carrying the will to surpass the past and explore the future! I believe this expedition will undoubtedly be recorded in the history of the Loki Familia. How could I not participate in something like this!"

Looking at Shirou, filled with fighting spirit, Riveria couldn't help but smile. Indeed, this man held the same conviction as them.

"So, who else have you told about this?"

"No one but you. Not even Lefiya or Ais. After all, this is a critical time for the expedition, and I don't want to affect everyone's morale."

"So, can you keep it a secret for me, Riveria?" Feeling Shirou's trusting gaze mixed with a plea, Riveria helplessly rubbed her forehead and said teasingly, "Then won't I become your accomplice? Loki and the others will definitely be unhappy if they find out later." After sighing helplessly a few times, Riveria gently said, "I understand. I'll help you keep it a secret."

"Thank you, Riveria!" Shirou said gently, looking at the gentle Riveria in front of him.

In the days that followed, Shirou's life returned to stability. In the mornings, he trained Bell and Lefiya on Orario's walls. After returning, he would go to the Dungeon with Ais for training. Of course, sometimes Lefiya would also follow the two. But every time they rested, she would have to endure some "dog food" (displays of affection). Ultimately, driven by unwillingness, she actually started fighting with Shirou for Ais's lap. How could Shirou tolerate this? This was not a position to be given to someone else. Finally, with Ais's face flushed with embarrassment, both Shirou and Lefiya lay on Ais's lap. Indeed, good things should be shared. The two experienced "old drivers" exchanged knowing smiles.

Of course, this result led to Lefiya following behind the two every day from then on. This transformed their original two-person world into a three-person world. However, this configuration was still bearable. After all, they were both "sisters," so he had to treat them equally.

"Clang!" Ais's sheathed sword struck at an extremely tricky angle, aiming for Bell's vital point. But in that fleeting instant, Bell sensed the danger and brought his short sword to block Ais's path, deflecting the attack. And at the moment their weapons clashed, he twisted his body and attacked Ais from the other side. However, due to Ais's astonishing reflexes, this strike was destined to miss.

But this didn't mean Bell hadn't changed at all; on the contrary, Bell's progress during this period was astonishing. It was just that Ais was, after all, an LV.6, and her reaction speed was formidable, making it difficult for her to evade his attacks. But this was because Ais possessed LV.6 level reflexes. Other LV.1 or even LV.2 adventurers would hardly be able to successfully dodge that strike.

"That was a truly brilliant strike, Bell! From today onwards, you have graduated!" The basic movements had all been taught to him; the rest required him to continuously hone them in the days to come. Only then could he continuously improve his martial arts. In other words, he would have to progress the rest of the way on his own.

"Yes, I understand! Thank you for your teaching, Master Shirou, Master Ais!" Hearing Shirou's announcement, Bell also bowed his head, giving a deep bow to both of them. During this time, both Shirou and Ais Wallenstein had tried their best to impart various knowledge to him. Bell knew very well that without their training and guidance, he might have been left in the Dungeon forever, unable to return to Orario. But with their guidance, Bell had strong confidence that he could become an excellent adventurer.

Walking in front of Bell, Shirou gently patted his shoulder. "Keep it up, Bell. I believe you can definitely become the hero you envision."

"Yes!" Looking at Bell, who was nodding continuously, Ais also said with satisfaction. "Keep it up!"

"Yes!"

"You are the disciple of Orario's Bow and the Sword Princess! You're not allowed to disgrace their names, understood?" Seeing this, Lefiya, as his senior, also put her hands on her hips and encouraged Bell with a scolding tone.

"I will definitely not tarnish your reputations!" In recent God Meetings, Shirou's title was officially changed to Orario's Bow. As an adventurer named after Orario, Shirou's fame was spreading beyond Orario with the title of hero, resounding throughout the entire continent. Coupled with Ais Wallenstein, the Sword Princess, whose fame had already spread far and wide, looking at the two heroes before him, Bell's heart was filled with pride and admiration. He was determined to become a hero worthy of being called their disciple.

"Then work hard, Bell. Go write your own chapter. Tomorrow, we will also go and forge our own legends!"

"An expedition, huh!" Bell repeated the word to himself, his eyes filled with envy. He really wanted to go on an expedition too!

"Then that's all for today. We also need to go back and make our final preparations for the expedition."

"Yes, I'll be going then."

"Thank you again for your teachings, Master Shirou, Master Ais, and Senior Lefiya."

"Thank you, everyone!" Waving his arm, Bell's figure gradually disappeared on Orario's walls. Looking at the spot where he vanished, Shirou smiled and said, "Perhaps one day, we will all be proud of his achievements."

"Mhm!" Both Ais and Lefiya nodded. After all, Bell's various good qualities had been fully displayed during this time. Everyone greatly approved of him. Especially his resilient personality; it was truly commendable.

"But before that, we still need to let him know that his masters cannot be easily surpassed."

"If he surpasses us so easily, wouldn't we lose face?" Looking at the two whose faces read "Indeed," Shirou smiled and said, "Then before that, let's leave a strong mark on Orario's records." Although Shirou knew very well that the farthest floors explored by the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia before them were definitely not the 58th floor, since the Guild said so, they would just go along with it.

"Tomorrow, we're going on an expedition! We'll venture into areas neither the Zeus Familia nor the Hera Familia have touched, leaving our record in Orario's history forever!"

"Are you ready for the expedition?"

"Of course!" Ais and Lefiya looked at each other and answered with certainty.
