The Ultimate Lich King

The only thing that Eina remembers is that Hestia once said that Ye Yu's magic attribute is very high and he is suitable for taking the mage route.

At that time, the half-elf girl didn't care much. High magic attributes did not mean that she would be able to take the mage route. If she couldn't understand magic, it would be meaningless no matter how high the magic attributes were.

And if just one magic attribute is outstanding, it will mean that the early battle will be very difficult. In comparison, in the early stage, adventurers with outstanding strength attributes were more relaxed.

"You...have understood magic? How come?"

Aina stared at Ye Yu with some confusion. She had never even experienced fighting, so why did she understand magic?

Adventurers all grow up through battles. It would be really strange if they could become stronger without doing anything.

"It seems that I have been underestimated. I just can't meet the monsters." Ye Yu shrugged with a look of helplessness.

As he spoke, the temperature in the compartment began to gradually recover.

At this time, Aina, who realized that she was still lying in Ye Yu's arms, blushed and started pushing again.

"Okay, I already know that you can use magic, can you let me go now?"

After Ye Yu released Aina, the girl sat up straight, cleared her throat and put on a serious look.

"Now that you can use magic, magicians will face a huge problem in the early stage, which is the depletion of magic power. As a newcomer, you cannot cope with high-intensity combat. Once the magic power is depleted, it will be very dangerous. Therefore, it is very necessary to equip weapons to deal with weaker monsters, but why choose a long sword as an auxiliary weapon?"

Aina still couldn't figure out why Ye Yu was carrying a long sword. Whether it is a staff that can reduce consumption or a lightweight rapier or short knife, it is a good auxiliary weapon for Ye Yu. But Ye Yu, who had no choice among these, chose a long sword.

Aina looked at Ye Yu, who was dressed in casual clothes, from head to toe, looking at no corner. Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange when Eina stared at him so unceremoniously.

Aina is not eating Ye Yu's tofu.

What she was looking at was not Ye Yu's body, but the equipment he was wearing... But for the time being, she didn't seem to notice anything.

"Since it is equipped with weapons...why not be equipped with armor?"

"Armor? There is no need for those things."

Ye Yu shook his head, while Aina was slightly angry.

"How can you say that? A good suit of armor can save your life at a critical moment. Although I know it seems strange for a mage to wear armor, but anyway, you, a mage, are already carrying a sword on your back, so wearing armor is It’s nothing more.”

Knowing that Ye Yu couldn't afford those expensive magic props belonging to the mage, and using them on the first few floors of the dungeon would be a bit fussy, Eina suggested that Ye Yu buy a suit of armor.

Although it may seem a bit bulky, it is indeed something that suits Ye Yu very well.

"There is no need for this, and I don't have any spare money around me. Instead of buying armor or other armor, I might as well hire a supporter."

"Well, if you think so."

Aina shook her head helplessly. Apparently she was used to her proposal being directly rejected by Ye Yu.

But to a certain extent, a good supporter is more effective than armor. As long as the supporter can draw the monster's hatred, Ye Yu, as the mage, can easily attack.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Aina. I think maybe I will be able to complete the task you assigned me a month ago tomorrow."

Seeing Aina's helpless look, Ye Yu smiled softly and said this.

"I don't think you will just stay on the floors where goblins are infested."

Aina had a look of distrust on her face and immediately stopped Ye Yu who was about to turn around and leave.

"Don't leave in a hurry yet, just accept this."

Ye Yu was slightly startled and turned around. What the girl slowly handed him was a slender protective gear.

It takes the form of an attached gauntlet, approximately in length from wrist to elbow. Seeing its forged metal surface, you can tell it has the same function as a shield. Just like Eina's eyes in front of her, they were the same color as emerald.

"Just think of it as a reward for completing the task in advance, and use it well."

"Hey...this doesn't look good, does it?"

"What? Are you unwilling to accept gifts from girls?"

"That's not... what I want to say is, is it really okay to make an exception like this and let others know about it?"

Ye Yu said with a chuckle while putting this wristband-like thing on his wrist.

"What? There are only two of us here. If you don't tell us, who will know?"

Aina muttered so quietly, showing a coquettish expression like a little girl. She looked at Ye Yu who was sitting in front of her and spoke seriously.

"I hope you accept it, not for me, but for yourself."

"Adventurers, you really never know when you will die. No matter how strong you think this person is, he will still leave as soon as he wants, just like a god's whim. I have seen too many adventurers who never come back. ”

"Well, I am really useless as a consultant. I can't help you Ye Yu at all. At least, this can be regarded as my little help."

Aina, who was laughing and laughing, always looked at Ye Yu when she spoke.

With her quiet eyes.

"I thought...Miss Eina would hate me."

In response to the girl's sincere eyes, Ye Yu said this playfully.

"Eh!"

Eina, who had a gentle look on her face, suddenly had a slight blush on her cheeks. Accordingly, the girl began to stutter even when she spoke.

"Although... although Ye Yu, you are really annoying sometimes. For example, you don't listen to my instructions, you don't want to listen to my teachings, and you always do some dangerous things on your own. Things or something..."

"But...but I am your adventurer advisor after all. How could I hate you?"

At the end of the sentence, the girl who was really shy and couldn't stand it lowered her head, not daring to look into Ye Yu's gentle black eyes.

"On the contrary... Ye Yu, don't you hate me a little? You hate such a verbose guy like me."

"No...because I know that everything Aina does is for my sake."

Ye Yu smiled like this and stood up.

"Besides, as the first person to enjoy such treatment, this is really flattering."

"That's... I'm not the first one... I'm also very caring and responsible for the adventurers I received before!"

The girl shouted shyly, but Ye Yu had already opened the door and left.

"What a... idiot."

Looking at Ye Yu's leaving figure, Aina lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"So... please live well and don't take any more risks, Ye Yu."
