Chapter 109 - A sword of excellent quality.

I sat down with Bell and got some tea to drink. It was the first time I had seen Bell brew tea, and it was tasty. The tea that Hestia brews is much better, but this is good too.

"The tea is delicious."

"Thank you. Since the Goddess hasn't woken up yet, I had to brew it."

"I see. The Goddess usually wakes up pretty early, doesn't she? I wonder what happened..."

"I don't know. She probably just decided to sleep a little longer today." Bell took another sip of his tea. He was acting normal. He didn't seem to have heard anything that happened between Hestia and me.

Should I tell him? No, it's better to let Hestia do that. Maybe she doesn't want him to know yet, and she would probably be angry with me if I said something.

"Where were you? Did you go out to buy something?"

"I was after a sword for Lili. I want to teach her to fight during our exploration today. Aren't you interested in training her too?"

"Lili wants to fight with a sword? I didn't think she was interested in that kind of thing."

"Well, she stays home and is getting bored. Besides, I wanted her to get strong enough to protect herself. I can't protect her forever, can I?"

"Yes, that's true. You never know what might happen in the future." Bell said with a sad expression.

"It's been a while since we've talked like this."

"Our work schedules are different. You're at home when I'm in the dungeon, and when you're in the dungeon, I'm at home. It's hard for us to sit down to talk...I think the only time we talk is at dinner."

"Yes, that's right." I nodded and sighed. "Are you excited about today's exploration? You're up pretty early."

"I usually wake up early... But I was a little anxious too. Speaking of which, I must leave within minutes to meet Mikoto and Welf."

"Can I come with you?"

"Don't you need to get a sword for Lili? It doesn't look like you've managed to find a good sword. You are not carrying one, after all." Bell shrugged and took another sip of his tea.

I opened my Status and looked at the sword in my inventory. I began to wonder if I should show this skill to him. It is only a storage skill.

When I go into the dungeon with them, I will show even more amazing things than that.

"About Lili's sword, I got one." I decided to show the skill to him. The sword I had bought in the Goddess store appeared in the air, and I placed it on the table.

Bell was paralyzed for a few seconds as he processed what had happened.

"Hey, what was that?" He asked excitedly.

"It's an ability that helps me store things. I can store everything here and make my job in the dungeon easier."

"I would love to have a skill like that! It would be so useful."

"Yes, it is quite useful. Unfortunately, I can't just teach it to you."

"It is a unique skill you received after leveling up?"

"Something like that."

"I'm jealous."

"Don't be jealous. You're amazing too."

"..."

Bell took the sword and began to analyze it. He was probably comparing it to the sword that Ais uses. From his expression, he seemed impressed with the quality of this sword.

[ Jinna's White Sword ]

[ Quality ] - Good

[ Attack Power ] - 768

[ Durability ] - 1762/1762

[ Magic Conductivity ] - Good

My sword is much stronger, which is understandable since mine cost much more than this one. But still, this sword was good enough for Lili for now. Maybe even too good.

I would make a fortune selling this sword.

But what made me quite intrigued was the name of the sword. Who is Jinna? A goddess? No, I've never heard of that name before. I'm sure it's not a goddess. Maybe it's the person who forged the sword.

Well, whatever.

"You must have paid a fortune on that sword. I don't understand it very well, but the material of this sword seems excellent. Besides its appearance... it's beautiful."

"It was not as expensive as you imagine."

"Then you must have gotten a good discount." Bell laughed and placed the sword on the table. And just after he put the sword on the table, someone came down the stairs, and it was Lili.

She was a little sleepy.

"Good morning." She said with her eyes partially closed. However, her eyes widened when she saw the sword on the table. "That sword!" Her eyes were shining, and her tail was wagging nonstop.

Cute.

Some time passed. Bell had left a little after Lili had come downstairs. He went out to meet with Mikoto and Welf. And after Lili finished eating breakfast, she and I went to the plaza near the portal, where we met with the three.

We all got in line, and it took a while. And about Lili's sword, she looked amazed at its beauty after seeing it.

And even though she asked me to take the sword with her, I didn't allow it because it would attract too much attention. It was a flashy sword, just like mine, and leaving Lili with it might be a bad idea.

Someone might try to steal it. It would be difficult to steal it with me here, but it is better to prevent it so that no unforeseen thing happens.

"Alright, which floor do you guys want to go hunting on? I don't want to go too far down because I want to train Lili using weaker monsters." We walked together through the corridors of the first floor.

Lili and I were in front, and the other three were further back. They put me as the leader of the group for some reason.

"I don't mind. Your goal was to train Lili all the time, right?" Bell asked.

"Maybe? What about you two? What do you think?"

"I don't mind," Welf said.

"I don't see a problem with that either. It will be a pleasure to observe a training done by you." Mikoto gave a smile.

"I see. Then let's go." I removed Lili's sword from my inventory in front of Mikoto and Welf as I knew they could be trusted. And after hearing some words of admiration for my "storage magic," we moved on.
