Various Worries

… Aria Lockwarde orried

She had become an adventurer and joined a party, but was her current self truly contributing…?

She had borrowed the Circryher spear, but her impatience made the head feel heavy, and it wouldn’t move as she wanted it

As her sweaty hands let the portion she clenched slip, she decided to take a break to get her breathing back together

“Hah, hah… I’ left behind”

Her party members consisted of Lyle and Novem, ere a year her junior, and the automaton Poyopoyo, who’s name had yet to be finalized The four of them(?)

At this point, if they asked Clara or Miranda, they would probably lend a hand as well

And within the on her own

She thought she was properly accouard, but for sorowing distant

Lyle had a lot of loose ends to him, but he did rack up achievements

You could understand it if you ever saw him up close

He could use multiple Skills simultaneously, and he easily em as well, she would never be able to use it like Lyle

Support and Vanguard Class Skills were different

But in regards to handling them, it was clear as day that Aria fell behind the boy

She could use h level of Novem’s

The times where the Lockwarde House was heralded as a Viscount House were but a distant ic in order to live, she had been worry over how to get through the days

Even if she took up jobs to support herself, her father’s e always left the House baren

At the end, she was seriously giving thought to selling off her body

No matter what she did, it was pointless…

She remembered her father’s voice

He was a prideful man, and he hated adventurers

If they ever even came out in conversation, he would lash out, and he was always bringing troubles

“… Just what aretfully, Aria knew the extent of her own ability

Whether she fought up front, or cast ic in the back, she would never match up to either Lyle, or Novem

Unlike the two of the their ripped the red ge at her neck

Of the Skills recorded in it, there were four in total

Her own Skill… 【Quick】 included, the number became five

While Quick allowed for swift consecutive h

It was the Skill she had obtained on her own, so it wasn’t a struggle for her to use it Cothen one’sattack, send out a shockwave

If you looked at the other Skills, they were all a lineup any vanguard adventurer would look upon with envy

In the past, an adventurer she ood or bad, all a gem did was record Skills, and as it arbitrarily recorded theic Tools bestoith Skills was the preferable option

Essential co the eneh level enemies could be taken down

I mean, it acted to raise your abilities, and lower the oppositions

That difference could become a wide one

Geic Tools, and the current me can’t afford one… in the end, I’ll have to eh

She tried to wipe her sweat off of her body, but it stuck, and when she took a rest, she got the feeling she had a slight fever

This time, the clothes stuck down to her started to h, and no one could peep in, so Aria removed her upper layer

“Even h sweat that they could be wrung out

Spear in hand, she moved to head back to the inside

When she went to the door into thea basket

“Oh,sweat, so please don’t come any closer I have my precious master’s washed laundry here”

The bad-mouthed autoiven a fixed level of treatment

Only Novem was an exception

“… You sure treat Lyle different from everyone else”

As Aria said that, Poyopoyo responded with a serious face

“What of it? I have becoize, but everyone else is just an extra? Ah, but… if master told me to serve Aria-san likeyou with such resolve However, do remember my loyalty if saved for no one but that chicken dickwad…”

As Aria felt fed up at Poyopoyo’s long speech, she looked at her with tired eyes

“Fine byaround that man one after another…”

What she remembered were the events that transpired before she caht with a pretty full , ‘theof the like Aria’s face turned red

And to her, Poyopoyo…

“You’re in the way, so can’t youthe time I have left to dry the laundry And wait, you reek of sweat, so why not dunk a bucket of cold water over yourself?”

Aria looked at Poyopoyo

“… I think I hate you”

Poyopoyo responded

“What a coincidence I have no interest in anyone besides that damn chicken Oh, that woman is another , she simply wasn’t interested Aria passed by her, and entered the e automaton, she did all the housework to perfection

It was on a level where co about it was unreasonable

“Really, just why did you have to wake this strange girl… idiot”

While turning her eyes to the auto up in the yard, Ariaco to adventurers

I was oing to have four fighters, we’ll have to have the sareater number of support”

In order to conquer Aru Skills

The first I thought of was gathering numbers, a simple, and exeather personnel I could trust as my coin with

The very fact that we hadn’t ress on that one

“It’s fine to take ti that period, I won’t be able to use and Skills

It’s not like they’re necessary for me to move as I want

But as the item I had relied on to now had become unusable, I had to obtain a neer foras a party, I needed to obtain the necessary technique

“Confir, confir safety… the Fifth and Sixth’s Skills are way too convenient”

Having lost the areas those Skills compensated for, I was immediately inconvenienced

The Second spoke

『Their Skills are extraordinary as a set While convenient individually, I’m surprised they manifested a set like that』

Different Skills manifest based on the individual

Even if you had identical twins, it’s not certain that the sarowth and desires, and other such factors influence it, or so I’ve read

Aie is exceedingly difficult

“To co it onpart in itself isn’t a problem

If I tried, I think I could do it, and I’m sure it’s possible, but… the time necessary to pick it up, and to learn all the other necessary skills would add on time in units of years

If possible, I don’t want to stretch it out that long

Once we fortified our party in Aru to the capital of adventurers, the free city of 【Beim】

Celes… there’s also the matter within one place for too long is likely dangerous

(For that whimsical Celes, I wonder just when her interests will beco she ine what she’ll be doing next

Back when irl was Celes again?)

Looking back, it’s a memory of when I was ten

I treated my sister Celes as an older brother should That’s how it should have been I have noparticular to be hated

The mansion just suddenly started to move with her at its center…
