Waiting for the bait to be eaten

The sound of knocking down was heard.

"Ais, are you there? I brought you breakfast. Let's eat together."

Tsukasa escaped to Ais's room, and he was sure Bete would never think he was hiding in Ais's room.

The door was opened, and Ais came out. Her hair was damp, showing she had just finished taking a bath.

Ais was slightly surprised when she saw Tsukasa, and her snow-white face turned crimson. She wasn't sure why, but it made her heart jump.

Tsukasa was about to enter, but suddenly he was dumbfounded when he saw Riveria was there.

"Huh? Tsukasa, what are you doing here?" Riveria asked with some confusion.

"I brought breakfast for her since I thought to discuss something with her," Tsukasa said smoothly.

"Is that so? It's a good time since I want to talk with you too. Come in," Riveria said and pulled him inside.

Tsukasa was pulled inside by two women inside. The door was closed, so he wouldn't escape. "Sorry, I didn't bring you breakfast, Riveria." He only brought two sandwiches, one was for Ais, and the other was for him. "If you don't mind, how about you eat mine?"

"No, you're hungry from the morning training, right? You should eat it yourself." Riveria shook her head softly.

Riveria and Ais sat on the bed, with Riveria sitting behind Ais, tending her hair gently.

"So, what are you doing here?" Tsukasa asked curiously while eating a sandwich. He sat on the chair and moved it closer so they could talk more comfortably.

"I have been taking care of Ais since her childhood." Riveria showed a rare gentle smile when she helped to brush Ais's hair.

On the other hand, Ais ate relaxedly, letting Riveria brush her hair as if it was something natural to do.

Tsukasa had heard Riveria treated Ais like her children, and it seemed it was right.

Still, suddenly Bete's shout sounded.

Riveria's expression was quite unnatural, but she asked, "What's happening?"

"Well..." Tsukasa explained the ins and outs of what had happened, causing Ais to ask, "What is impotence?"

"......" Shishio and Riveria.

"Ais, you don't need to know about this," Riveria said sternly.

Ais was confused, but she nodded regardless since Riveria had said so, so she didn't have an interest and agreed.

Still, when Tsukasa saw this, he somehow understood where the lack of Ais's common sense came from.

"It's a disease that only happens to men." Tsukasa felt this wasn't good and decided to help Ais with her common sense. "So if you see Bete, you need to say, "it's okay."

Ais didn't understand, but she nodded regardless.

"......"

Riveria must admit Tsukasa was evil, but she didn't hate it since she also knew it was impossible for Bete and Ais to be together even if Bete liked Ais. On the other hand, she felt it was more natural and suitable for Ais and Tsukasa to be together. They had a similar attitude, wanted to become strong, and they could communicate with each other with their swords. She felt if Ais was with Tsukasa, she didn't need to worry about anything.

However, strangely, Riveria frowned and felt uncomfortable, especially when she thought about the night she spent with Tsukasa together.

Still, their age was too far apart, and it wouldn't be weird to say she was his mother.

Riveria suddenly became gloomy.

"Riveria?"

Riveria awoke and asked, "By the way, I have heard you're going to help Ais to become a Level 6. What are you planning to do?"

Ais also looked at Tsukasa and wondered what he wanted to do.

Tsukasa coughed and said, "Do you know the reason why I can become a Level 3 adventurer so fast?"

Ais and Riveria shook their heads and looked at Tsukasa curiously. They were also curious about this matter, wondering how he could become stronger so fast.

"It's to fight for something or someone stronger than you," Tsukasa said.

"Something or someone stronger?" 2x

Tsukasa then listed his fight one by one and the trigger of how he became a Level 3 adventurer in just a mere two weeks or more.

Listening to his crazy adventurer, Ais and Riveria also understood why he could become so strong so fast, but at the same time, they also knew this feat was impossible to copy since they might die!

Going to the dungeon wasn't just a mere picnic. It was dangerous, and sometimes, the reason why they died was something trivial. Even if they had been going to the dungeon for so many years and had much experience, they could die anytime just because of an accident.

Anyway, after listening to his words, Riveria frowned and asked, "Then who do you plan Ais to fight?"

Ais also looked at Tsukasa eagerly since she wanted to become strong.

"I plan to make her fight Udaeus," Tsukasa said.

"Udaeus?" 2x

Udaeus is a Monster Rex on the 37th Floor. Leaving the description of the monsters and how they were shaped, it had a power similar to a Level 6 adventurer!

Ais was just a Level 5 adventurer, and Tsukasa asked him to fight a Level 6 adventurer?

When Tsukasa saw Riveria wanted to scold him, he said, "Riveria, the factor for one to win against someone who is stronger isn't just about physical ability or even stronger magic. It is also about wit, technique, advantageous position, and many other things. The level difference between Ais and Udaeus is only one level, so her chance to win isn't small. Also, I'll accompany her, so in case something happens, I can help her to run away."

"Riveria..." Ais looked at Riveria with a begging expression. She longed to become stronger, and she definitely wanted to fight Udaeus!

Having stared at Ais and Tsukasa, Riveria could only let out a long sigh and decided to give up. "Okay, but I'll accompany you two."

Ais and Tsukasa smiled at each other.

Tsukasa raised his palm, waiting for Ais's clap on his palm.

Ais hesitated for a moment before she clapped his palm with a soft expression on her face.

Watching how close the two were, Riveria let out a helpless sigh before she smiled and decided to support the two.

They talked for a while before it was time for him to go to the dungeon with Lefiya, Alicia, and Line.

The four walked out of the Twilight Manor as usual, but they heard a loud grief roar from Bete.

Ais, who followed Tsukasa's advice by saying, "it's okay," looked at Bete in confusion since his reaction was different from what she imagined, so she repeated those words again.

Bete, on the other hand, cried even harder.

However, it had nothing to do with Tsukasa, Lefiya, Alicia, and Line. Instead, the four entered the dungeon together and started their adventure again.

Still, when they entered, Tsukasa glanced to the side and saw many Amazoness seemed to be waiting at the entrance of the dungeon. He frowned slightly, but he didn't do anything and only walked away. He rubbed his nose and smiled happily under his mask.

"What's wrong, Tsukasa? You seem in a good mood," Alicia asked since she thought Tsukasa would be in a bad mood since he was under enormous debt.

"Nothing, I just found a way to solve my debt," Tsukasa said mysteriously.

"Really?" 3x

The three asked him, wondering how he was going to solve his debt.

However, Tsukasa didn't say anything and waited for the fish to eat his bait.
