Chapter 37: Consulting with Sempai

“Hmm, what you have beside your stole huh.”

Mizumori-sempai is washing her sweaty hair while saying so.

Wearing her light-purple practice clothes with her shoulder-length hair tied up into a ponytail. Her refreshing white nape is so tempting. It was like it can cast magic that won’t let my eyes wander off. I mean I tried but I still couldn’t look away. I want to touch it.

“That’s a very hard question......”

“It is isn’t it.”

I wonder why she still hasn’t got her own fanclub yet when she is this pretty? I can’t find it even when I asked around the entire academy. Though, I found three fanclubs that currently exist.

The student council president’s guard (Fanclub) MMM, the current generation saint’s holy knight order (Also Fanclub) SSS and the newly established Ludi’s imperial guard (Again, a Fanclub) LLL.

Well, I can just make her one. How about YYY as the abbreviated name. I look forward to getting membership No.Zero.

“Depending on the weapon you can extend your reach and even compensate for your weakness.”

“.......Actually not just weapon, I think I will try to carry a shield too.”

Last time my reaction was delayed because of some weird habit too.

“I see, defending yourself with a shield while focusing on attacking with third and fourth hand huh. In some cases, you can even use it along with third and fourth hand to defend too. That’s like fighting against an iron wall.”

Well, since he can’t equip bow or any long-range weapon in the game, having him equip four shields and tank the damage was the most popular way to use him after all. But this is not a game, there’s no such thing as equipment restriction here. It might be good to carry the bow around to cover for my weakness.

“In my opinion, I will recommend using the weapon that you find easy to use.”

“I see, as expected huh......”

“In my case, I use Katana, Naginata and I can also use a bow for a little bit. But at first, I tried a lot of weapons early on too. In the end, the one that fits me best is naginata, it is also my strongest weapon. I think it is important for you to keep your motivation and have your own specialty.”

“So....it is good for me to experience all kinds of different weapon right?”

Sempai nodded to my conclusion.

“Yes, I think so. It just that...., if you want to experience the weapon I think it would be good for you to do it until the end. Doing something half-heartedly is a waste after all.”

Instead of jack of all trades, it would be better to be master of one huh. That’s certainly right.

“Then I will do that.........but what weapon should I try first?”

An orthodox sword? Japanese katana? A long-reaching spear? Mace? Axe? Or bow?”

“I can look after you if you choose a katana or naginata, you are welcome at the dojo too if you want to learn more. Katana and naginata are wonderful weapons you know....... Comparing it to another weapon it cut much better.........it is also simple to enchant it with magic so I really recommend using them. Moreover, since you can’t carry a shield while wielding a katana you have to rely on your skill to evade or defend by a paper-thin margin. But since Takioto already learned to use mind eye along with using your third and fourth hand you can cover its weakness and draw out its strength to full potential.....HOW ABOUT IT!!?”

Even if you are saying that while holding my hands..........Sempai’s sales pitch is too heavy. Well, it’s fine I guess. I was looking for the weapon that Sempai and Claris-san can use anyway.

“Yeah,.......... I think I will try using katana then.”

“Well, I thought you would say something like that so I have prepared this for you!!”

Saying so she pulled out a wooden practice katana from who knows where. Seriously where the hell did she pulled it out from?

Even so, the happy sempai looked so cute. It breaks my heart that I have to turn her down for now.

“Umm, I am very happy that you prepared all this for me but I have school after this so.....”

Sempai understandingly nodded.

“I see, I want to do it after school too but I have the public moral committee duty today so........ How about we start tomorrow morning?”

If it’s tomorrow morning then I won’t have any problem.

“Yes, I will be in your care.”

When I said that sempai clasped her hands together as if she remembered something.

“Come to think of it, it seems the matter that we talked about last time is going along smoothly you know.”

“Umm, which matter?”

Is it the launch of her fanclub YYY? Wait a minute, I don’t remember ever asking her for permission though. It would be foolish not to huh. I wonder if she will forgive me if I take membership No.1 instead of No.Zero.... Well, I’m sure she is not referring to this though.

“It’s the beginner dungeon. It seems we were able to be in the same party, of course, Ludi is also with us.”

“Hee.”

I nod along.

“Is it Marino-san’s work?”

“Since grouping, the student for that dungeon is her work anyway. she said to leave everything to her.”

Marino-san good job! Having sempai in the same party and depending on the other member, capturing the first ten floor might not be impossible anymore.

“Takioto.....you seem really happy, huh?”

“But of course.......... I’m together with sempai after all.”

Hearing so, sempai broke into a smile.

“You said that so casually, Takioto...... no, it’s nothing. Let’s head to the academy.”

Saying so we head back home. Thinking about it, considering that I have to head back and take a shower I will barely have time to make it to the academy.
