CHAPTER 71: Agreement with Ais

Syr looked enviously at Yuri and Chloe playing in the distance. The other girls just covered their mouths and laughed softly, while Ryuu ignored everything and focused on washing the dishes in the kitchen.

After intimidating Chloe enough, Yuri slowly left to find Ais, who was peeking through the door.

"Do you want to tell me something?"

Ais shook her little head.

Seeing that she didn't want anything, Yuri turned and left.

After walking a few steps, Yuri stopped.

The one who was following him also stopped immediately.

Yuri turned to look behind him.

Ais immediately followed suit and turned around, trying not to let Yuri's back leave her sight.

Seeing this scene, Yuri took a deep breath as his lips trembled.

After that, he turned around and continued walking.

Ais continued to follow Yuri's every step, making a point of always having his back in sight.

Seeing that Ais wasn't going to stop following him, Yuri sighed in exasperation and said while placing a hand on his face:

"Do you really want to see my skills that much?"

The girl just tilted her head to the side as she looked innocently at Yuri. That innocent look, along with her pretty face, made her truly adorable.

"I want to understand how you managed to become so strong..."

Generally speaking, each adventurer's skills represent their personal essence.

Ais really wanted to know how Yuri became so strong, even though he was a Level 1 adventurer. She truly wanted to see Yuri's skills—maybe that way, she could follow the same path as him and become even stronger.

Yuri sighed and turned to look at her.

"Ais, you should know that each adventurer's skill panel is secret, right?"

"Not even members of the same familia can see your abilities without a good reason."

Upon hearing what Yuri said, Ais lowered her head and pursed her lips in frustration. Even her shoulders seemed to slump with disappointment.

She raised her head and looked at Yuri with puppy-dog eyes.

"Don't look at me like that…"

Yuri, who was about to refuse, almost had a heart attack when he saw Ais's eyes.

"Ahh~ It's okay..." Yuri walked over to Ais and placed his hand on the girl's head. Her golden hair was incredibly soft.

Ais didn't resist Yuri's touch; she just looked at him expectantly.

"Very well, I'll let you see—but you'll have to make a deal with me. How about that?" Yuri said while rubbing her head.

"And truth?" she asked expectantly.

Her eyes seemed to glow as she looked Yuri in the eyes.

"It's the truth. And don't worry, I guarantee you won't lose anything with this deal."

Yuri reached out and took Ais's hand. After seeing that she didn't mind it, he pulled her into an alley where no one passed by.

Seeing that there was no one else besides them in the alley, Yuri took off his shirt, revealing his body to the girl's eyes.

His perfect muscles and the flame-shaped mark that rose from his chest to his collarbone left the girl stunned.

Ais couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at Yuri's body. She didn't understand the feeling she was experiencing at that moment.

Yuri turned around and showed his back to the girl.

Despite not understanding what was written, Ais still managed to grasp a little of what appeared there.

Some of his abilities and their parameters were exposed to the girl.

When Ais saw Yuri's abilities, she couldn't help but open her mouth in bewilderment.

How can someone have so many powerful abilities? she asked inwardly.

"Furthermore, he also has parameters higher than S…"

If someone who can defeat a Level 5, experienced adventurer without even having a level is only now being promoted to Level 2—with such high parameters—how strong will he be when he reaches Level 5?

Ais fell silent as she contemplated how absurd Yuri truly was.

"You seem eager to get stronger."

Yuri knew that Ais had been stuck at Level 5 for a long time.

"I can easily feel it, Ais. You're eager to get stronger, right?"

"Mm…"

The blonde girl nodded.

"Ais, there's a special breathing method with wind-related skills. If you master this breathing method, I'm sure you'll be able to reach SS in agility."

[A/N: We all know she wouldn't match Thunder Breathing.]

"Plus, this will help you improve your swordsmanship a lot."

Yuri's words made Ais raise her head and look at him expectantly, her eyes twinkling.

"Do you want to learn?"

The girl nodded quickly. Her innocent look made Yuri feel a little guilty as he remembered what he was going to do to her in the future.

Yuri put his shirt back on as he turned again to look at Ais.

"Then let's make a deal."

"Ais, I'll teach you Wind Breathing, and in return, I want you to demonstrate your Ariel magic to me a few times."
