After listening to An Xiu's words, Sakura nodded, and then looked at Ais beside him.
"Ais sister, are you leaving Dungeon with us?"
Hearing this, Ais looked at the broken sword in his hand and nodded in the same way.
After all, the weapon has been damaged. If you continue to stay in Dungeon, with the strength of Ais, although you will not encounter any danger, it is also meaningless.
In this case, it is better to simply go back to Familia and ask Loki or the leader Finn for a weapon.
In addition, Ais also has some concerns about Sakura. After all, since she first met Sakura, Sakura has become stronger very fast. It took two months to increase from lv1 to lv5, which equaled Ais's nearly ten years of hard work in just a few dozen days.
Moreover, Ais knows one thing very well, that is, Sakura's strength is by no means as simple as lv5. You must know that Sakura can easily defeat himself at lv2. Now Sakura at lv5, maybe even Finn and Riveria will not be their opponents.
Therefore, Ais wants to ask Sakura for the secret of becoming stronger.
As for Seele and An Xiu... Although Seele's upgrade speed is also very fast, it has not shown much strength before, and only showed part of Authority of Creation to give Apollo Familia heals his wounds, but Ais doesn't know An Xiu at all. Strictly speaking, this is the first meeting between An Xiu and Ais.
Therefore, Ais only regards An Xiu as the newly recruited Familia member of Hestia Familia.
Just do what you said, and on the way away from Dungeon, Ais told Sakura his thoughts without any concealment or concealment.
However, Sakura felt a little embarrassed about Ais's behavior of asking for the secret to becoming stronger.
It's not that she doesn't want to share, as long as An Xiu allows it, and the other party can get Sakura's approval, then Sakura naturally doesn't mind sharing some experiences and skills, but the problem is that she doesn't have the secret to becoming stronger.
Indeed, Sakura's upgrade speed is very fast. The rapid upgrade to level 5 in two months can be said to have shocked the entire Orario. However, the only reason for this result is purely because of Sakura's talent.
If you ask Sakura how she became stronger so quickly, the only answer Sakura can give is to let nature take its course.
Start by cracking God's Blessing and fill up Great Feat in one go. Then go to bed early and get up early, eat on time, and go to Dungeon every day to swipe various monsters. As you swipe, the attributes will be automatically full, and then you can upgrade.
If you deliberately delay upgrading for two days, you will also see that the magic attributes on Blessing Panel gradually change from a full and extraordinary level to a mess.
Can others replicate this experience of becoming stronger? It can only be said that it cannot be replicated at all.
Therefore, the only answer Sakura can give to Ais is rejection.
Ais did not feel frustrated by this result, but continued to ask another question.
"Can I study with Sakura for a while?"
Since the answer cannot be found in words, Ais plans to learn from Sakura through personal experience.
However, perhaps he also realized that it was a bit inappropriate to make such a straightforward request, so Ais added another sentence.
"I can give you a reward."
"Reward?"
Looking at Sakura's eyes, Ais nodded seriously.
"As long as it's what I have, anything is fine."
Ais definitely can't get out the money. The repair of the Despair Sword that was cut off by Sakura before and the long sword that was just scrapped has already wiped out all of Ais's savings. He is also burdened with a large amount of Valis debt, so all Ais can pay is other things.
Although with Ais's thinking, she couldn't think of anything else on her body that could be used as a reward, but as long as she could learn from Sakura, she would do anything.
"It's too exaggerated. It's not a troublesome thing anyway. Sister Ais doesn't need this."
Facing Ais with a serious look on his face, Sakura waved his hands repeatedly. As mentioned before, the way Sakura became stronger was purely due to talent and could not be copied by outsiders. Therefore, even if he studied with him, Ais was destined to learn nothing.
Under such circumstances, Sakura's character would naturally not ask for high compensation from Ais. She would not be able to do such a shameless thing.
"Riveria said that when you ask others for help, you must pay equivalent compensation."
When facing Sakura, Ais's expression remained unchanged and he continued to speak stubbornly.
In response, Sakura could only nod.
"If this is the case, then sister Ais will do something for the members of Hestia Familia unconditionally from now on without hurting the people around her."
After thinking about it, Sakura proposed such a big or small condition as a reward, and Ais didn't think there was any problem after thinking for a moment, and nodded immediately.
"Okay, I agreed. After I go back, I will apply to the leaders Loki and Finn to move to Hestia Familia for a period of time."
In this way, An Xiu and Ais left Dungeon all the way without any accidents.
After returning to Orario, Ais said goodbye to An Xiu, Sakura and Seele, and then returned to Loki Familia's Resident Twilight Manor informed Loki and Finn about Dungeon's experience, his next purpose, and the process of communication between himself and Sakura.
"What? Ais-chan is going to move to that little dwarf's Familia residence for a while?!"
"No, I don't agree!!!"
Unable to accept the departure of his beloved Ais, Loki immediately jumped to hug Ais's thigh, but Ais easily dodged it.
So, Loki immediately started acting like a rogue, rolling around on the ground.
"Hey, Ais-chan wants to leave me and run to that little dwarf or something, don't do it, don't do this kind of thing!"
"Such a thing will have to wait at least ten years... twenty years... no, at least thirty years after I return to the Heavenly Realm before it happens again!"
Chapter 168: Loki Familia's thoughts, Ais's visit
Ignoring Loki's unreasonable troubles, Ais looked at Finn in front of him.
Compared to Loki, Finn is obviously much more rational.
"Would you like to go to Hestia Familia to exchange and study for a while? If they really allow it, there's nothing wrong with it."
To be honest, Finn actually doesn't think Ais can learn anything from this trip. Let's not talk about whether there is a so-called secret to becoming stronger. Even if there is, it is impossible for other people Hestia Familia to agree to teach Ais so lightly.
This can be seen from the conditions put forward by Sakura to Ais. Ais is required to do one thing for Hestia Familia members unconditionally without harming the people around him. It sounds like a very important commitment. No, but think about it carefully, with Sakura's ability to easily defeat Ais at lv2, but for Sakura who has reached lv5 just two months ago, does this promise really have any weight in front of the other party?
If the person who proposed this condition was a male, then Finn would have to secretly figure out whether the other party had any bad thoughts because of Ais's innocence, but Hestia Familia is different. From the main god to the two super geniuses Familia members are all women, so it can be said that it is as safe as possible.
Oh no, listening to what Ais just described, Hestia Familia now seems to have a new male member, but a newcomer who just joined Familia cannot have any weight, let alone What can Sakura, Seele and that Hestia master do to the lv5 Ais under the nose, so this concern can be completely eliminated.
From Sakura's point of view, this condition was probably just mentioned casually by her, and she didn't care at all, let alone really need Ais to do anything.
Therefore, if Ais goes to Hestia Familia to study for a period of time, it can be said that there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
It's best to learn something. Even if you don't learn anything in the end, it's just a waste of time. At the end of the day, you can build a good relationship with Hestia Familia, which is also beneficial to Loki Familia as a whole.
The world of Adventurer is not just about fighting and killing, especially for a large Familia like Loki Familia. Although Hestia Familia is now very small and has been established for a short time, its strength is enough for Loki Familia to take it seriously.
He was able to defeat Ais at level 2, and rose from level 1 to level 5 in two months. At the same time, he also mastered the most outrageous True Magic that Finn has ever seen in his life [Card Creation]'s Sakura, and Seele who rose from lv1 to lv4 in the same two months, and had demonstrated some powerful large-scale treatment of True Magic.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Hestia Familia does not encounter any changes in the future, then the future of Orario belongs to Hestia Familia, or to Sakura and Seele.
This is not just Loki Familia, Orario and most Familia, no matter how stupid they are, as long as they still have normal judgment, they will not fail to see it. Not to mention ordinary people like them as Familia, even the gods of Orario have identified these two as the heroes who will lead mankind to defeat Black Dragon in the future.
Of course, in this case, there will definitely be Familia with evil intentions who will have some evil intentions towards Hestia Familia, but the problem is that Sakura and Seele are growing too fast. It is normal for Adventurer to go deep into Dungeon and stay for ten and a half months, but it only took two months for Sakura and Seele to reach lv5 and lv4.
Excluding the first few days of upgrading to lv2 and the subsequent period of preparing for War Game with Apollo Familia, for those larger-scale Familia, Sakura The upgrade speed of and Seele is as fast as when they go to Dungeon. When they come back, they find that they have grown or are about to grow to the top level Adventurer.
This kind of upgrade speed is combined with the lv5 and lv6 level Floor Boss that was copied from Sakura with Mirror Card during War Game. The entire Orario and Familia are basically all honest.
"I also think Ais can go to Hestia Familia, and those two children Sakura and Seele should have no malicious intent."
Riveria, who was also present when Ais came over, nodded and agreed with Finn's proposal.
She had also met Sakura and Seele. Those two children made her feel very comfortable even as a member of the royal family of Elf. They could not be bad people.
So, after getting the support of Finn, the group leader, and Riveria, Ais returned to his residence to pack his things, and then went to Hestia Familia.
"It hurts, it hurts too much."
Seeing this scene, Loki knelt in front of the station in an orz posture and watched Ais leave, clutching his chest with a heartbroken look on his face.
Of course, both Finn and Riveria know that Loki's current behavior is obviously mostly funny.
In fact, Loki is really not too worried about the current situation. After all, Ais just went out to study for a period of time, and it is not that he will not come back.
Sakura and Seele are also very cute children from the netherworld like Ais, and there is no way they can take advantage of Ais.
I just don't know why, but Loki always feels a faint, subtle premonition of ominousness.
However, just like Finn's previous analysis, Loki also didn't think Ais would encounter any problems here, so he just classified it as his own illusion.
Hestia Familia station, An Xiu, Seele and Sakura have also returned and received a warm welcome from Hestia.
"Sakura, and Seele, it's hard to go to Dungeon this time. Are there any injuries on your body, and are your clothes dirty? I'll boil water for you to take a bath. How about we have a big dinner to celebrate in the evening?"
Well, it seems that An Xiu himself is not included in the welcome list of Hestia, or An Xiu is just incidental.
However, An Xiu didn't care about this. After all, when he first arrived in the world of DanMachi, he used Hestia as a tool. Is it possible that he didn't allow others to have a little emotion towards him?
Now An Xiu is not in a hurry to return to the Genshin Impact world. Without directly taking action, Sangonomiya Kokomi will probably have to command the Resistance Army and Shogunate troops to fight with Kannazuka for a while. It is still early to fight against Narukami Island.
Looking back at the DanMachi side of the world, there are clearly more fun things to do than beating up the Shogunate army.
"Someone from the child over there at Loki actually wants to come to our place to stay for a while, and it's the child named Ais?"
At this time, Seele and Sakura also informed Hestia about Ais, of which Hestia obviously had no objection.
"Isn't it good? The child named Ais is also a good child like Seele and Sakura. There is nothing wrong with living in Hestia Familia."
And with outsiders here, that guy An Xiu should be more restrained towards Seele and Sakura, right?
With this idea in mind, not long after, a knock on the door sounded outside the Familia residence.
PS: There is another chapter at 12 o'clock.
Chapter 169: New card created by Sakura, exhausted Ais
"Excuse me."
Standing outside the gate of Hestia Familia, Ais said to Hestia who came to open the door.
"It's okay, Ais, right? Sakura The kid has already told me about your matter, so come in first."
Ais was brought into the station, and Hestia was brought to the lobby.
"Ais, you should also know about the situation of the Hestia Familia residence. This residence used to belong to Apollo Familia. After it became the property of Hestia Familia, only a few of us have lived there. There are still many spare rooms. Just go to the second floor and pick one out later."
Sakura and Seele in the hall also welcomed the arrival of Ais.
"Welcome, sister Ais."
In this way, after putting the luggage in a vacant room on the second floor, Ais settled down temporarily in Hestia Familia.
While Ais was cleaning up the room, Sakura was in the hall with his eyes closed, looking like he was thinking hard.
"Are you worried about what to teach Ais?"
Seeing this scene, An Xiu asked.
In response, Sakura nodded.
"Sister Ais has already made a promise to Sakura, so Sakura also wants sister Ais to become stronger."
After all, Ais has already received remuneration from Ais, so Sakura does not want Ais to gain nothing while studying at Hestia Familia.
Unfortunately, Sakura's knowledge blind spot is somewhat touched on how to teach others to become stronger.
It's impossible to directly give Ais a Sakura Card, right?
I couldn't think of an answer for a while. Fortunately, after Ais finished cleaning up the room and came out, it was already late, and everyone started preparing for dinner.
Due to the arrival of Ais, everyone did not choose to go out, but directly prepared a feast at Familia's residence.
Dishes prepared by Seele were served one after another. From the time they were presented until now, Seele's cooking skills have been honed to a very good level, which is no less than the dishes sold in Orario's tavern.
Since it was the first time to dine alone in another Familia, Ais behaved quite silently.
But soon, she was attracted by the scene on the dining table.
"Seele, Sakura, now is the time for you to grow, so you should eat more."
I saw that Hestia was very attentively picking up food for Seele and Sakura, but Ais didn't have much reaction to this.
And Seele and Sakura... are An Xiu, whom she thought was Hestia Familia's newcomer before they surrounded her?
"An Xiu-ge, this dish was specially made by Seele. Come and try it."
"And this dish, it seemed inconvenient for An Xiu-ge to pick it up just now. Sakura is here to help An Xiu-ge pick it up."
"There are also sisters Hestia and Ais. Come and have a taste too."
To be honest, Ais feels a little strange about Hestia Familia's relationship. Compared to Hestia, who is the main god, Sakura and Seele seem to be closer to this man named An Xiu.
