Don't Ask Where This Sword Came From!
Li Yu led the five directly to the entrance to the KonoSuba World. Upon arriving, they immediately saw the entrance; was this the world they were going to?
After looking around and finding that the area was entirely forest, Miori Shiba help but ask, "Is this place close to that city? Does the surrounding land need development?"
All she can think about right now is buying a piece of land here. It's no wonder she's a capitalist's daughter; even though she doesn't know what that world is like, she's already thinking about doing business at the entrance.
"I don't know. You should ask the local administrator about this. I'm only responsible for development; what happens in the future isn't up to me." Li Yu shrugged; he knew nothing about these things.
After saying this, Li Yu strode inside. Seeing this, Miori Shiba could only put these matters aside for the time being and hurriedly followed, deciding to learn about the situation in that world first.
The group followed Li Yu through the Spatial Passage and reappeared in a grassland, where they could see giant frogs hopping around in the distance.
Looking around, Li Yu quickly realized where he was—the place where Aqua and the others had been eaten by frogs. These frogs were supposedly quite tasty. Without giving it much thought, Li Yu began communicating with Asuna: "Asuna, I've arrived. I'm on the grassland at the entrance. Where are you now?"
Asuna, who was inside the guild at that moment, also felt a surge of joy upon hearing Li Yu's voice. They had just returned and were now hearing the news of Li Yu's arrival—this was truly wonderful.
"I'm at the guild in town. We just wiped out a Demon King's Army officer. Come straight here, I'll meet you at the town gate!" Asuna's voice quickly echoed in Li Yu's mind.
After the agreement was reached, Li Yu said to Miori Shiba and the others, "Let's go. I've already contacted Asuna and the others; they're nearby."
After saying that, Li Yu led the way, with the others following closely behind. Sakayori Iroha jogged up to Li Yu and asked, "Senior Li Yu, what mission do we have in this world this time?"
They were brought here directly, but Li Yu didn't explain anything about the mission to them, which made Sakayori Iroha very confused about what she was supposed to be doing in this world.
"This world is quite special. As long as you have skill points, you can learn many kinds of True Magic in this world, and you'll learn them very quickly. I plan to have you here to test whether Hestia's Falna combined with this world's system can make you stronger quickly." Li Yu explained the situation of this world to them as they walked.
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, everyone's eyes lit up. If that were the case, then this world would be incredibly valuable—a perfect starting village! This was the unanimous thought that popped into everyone's mind.
Miori Shiba made a decision on the spot: once she returned, she would have her father buy land here. If nothing unexpected happened, this world would become a cradle for new talents, wouldn't it?
Especially the fact that one can easily learn the True Magic of this world—how much time could that save for so many people? It's incredibly meaningful.
Yuki Suou was also somewhat intrigued. She hurriedly asked Li Yu, "Senior Li Yu, is it possible for people without True Magic talent to learn True Magic in this world?"
To be honest, she was quite frustrated, since she had always wanted to be a True Magic, but unexpectedly, she had maxed out her talent in martial arts, and the talent she awakened was also related to martial arts.
She could learn Martial Arts in no time, but anything related to True Magic was completely foreign to her. She couldn't even learn meditation, which frustrated her greatly.
Since awakening her talent, she has tried many methods, even traveling to other continents and worlds, but none of them could solve the problem. Now, it seems there's a turning point?
"Sure, as long as you change your job to an adventurer in this world, you won't be limited by your profession and will be able to learn all the True Magic in this world. It's pretty overpowered, although it will cost more skill points!" Li Yu's words immediately reassured Yuki Suou.
That would be fantastic! As for having more skill points? That doesn't matter. As long as she can learn cool True Magic, that's all that matters. And according to the game's mechanics, there must be a way to obtain those skill points, right?
As they walked and talked, Li Yu told them about the situation in this world. Their only goal in coming to this world was to see if the Falna could work in tandem with the world's system.
After learning about these things, everyone immediately understood what they should do. They followed Li Yu to the entrance of the town, where they quickly noticed the people waiting there.
They also saw Li Yu and his group and immediately rushed over to greet them. Asuna couldn't hide the joy on her face when she saw her boyfriend, and she hurriedly came to meet him.
"Asuna!" Li Yu smiled when he saw Asuna. Asuna and Kato Megumi walked up to Li Yu and looked at the group of people Li Yu had brought with them with curiosity.
"Hello, senior!" Sakayori Iroha, Eriri, and Yuki Suou were meeting Asuna and the others for the first time, so they were all quite unfamiliar with them. However, Tendō Kisara and Miori Shiba were quite familiar with them.
"Asuna, it's been a long time!" Miori Shiba was overjoyed to see these familiar friends, but there were also some unfamiliar faces, such as Arcueid, who had just joined the team!
"Hello, Kisaragi, Miori, it's been a long time. Come on, let's go inside first!" Asuna understood the situation from how these people addressed her.
Are they the new members of the Special Class? Li Yu brought them here for training, right? With this in mind, Asuna led the group into the town. Because of the recent war, the town was quite quiet, with the only lively place being the area where the guild was located.
Led by Asuna, the group arrived here, feeling the atmosphere that was so different from the outside world. Sakayori Iroha and the others, who were visiting another world for the first time, were all incredibly surprised.
Asuna led everyone to a table where they sat down. The table was already laden with food, all of which Asuna others had ordered when they went out. Naturally, she wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal to welcome Li Yu and cleanse their home.
"Let's eat first, then we can chat more." Asuna sat down with Li Yu and began to invite everyone to try the food from this other world.
Seeing this, everyone didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat. While eating, they started chatting, Asuna told them about some of their experiences in this world.
The other students have already dispersed and begun their adventures around the world to find the cheat codes that Aqua and her friends had thrown in.
"Did you find anything?" Li Yu looked at Asuna with some curiosity. Was this search for cheat codes just a whim? Did she see something that prompted her to do this?
"I found a sword, bought from someone named Kazuma, it cost me quite a bit of money." Asuna said this with a wry smile.
That guy used his thieving skill to steal a weapon from a reincarnated person, then sold it to Asuna. Asuna, of course, didn't hold back and bought it without hesitation.
Once it's in her hands, there's no going back. She bought it from Kazuma anyway, so if she wants it back, she'll have to go to Kazuma, since she paid for it.
Li Yu listened to Asuna's explanation and was quite speechless. It was a bit cunning, directly shifting the blame onto Kazuma, but he had to admit that it was a brilliant move.
"But this thing seems to be bound, can you take a look for me!" Asuna said, she handed the artifact she bought for 200,000 to Li Yu Li Yu, the blacksmith, to see what was going on.
Other eyes also turned to look, and everyone was quite interested in these things, especially after learning that there were many cheat codes in this world.
Li Yu took the weapon handed to him by Asuna, examined it briefly, and understood what it meant. He reached out and touched it, and the bound soul inside instantly dissipated, turning into a ray of light and vanishing before everyone's eyes.
"Done. It's just a cricket's soul being bound. I'm a professional at manipulating souls." For Li Yu, who possessed the Third Magic, solving these problems couldn't be easier.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Asuna's eyes lit up. Looking at the divine weapon in Li Yu's hand, she couldn't help but say, "I don't really like the design of this sword. What do you think we should do with it? Should we just take it back?"
Her own sword was already quite good, and it had even become Noble Phantasm, so she wasn't very interested in these divine artifacts; the enhancements they provided weren't as good as her own weapon.
"Let's just melt them down as materials. Megumi and Yukino's weapons haven't been forged into Noble Phantasm yet." Li Yu examined the weapon in his hand and had an idea. It was perfect for forging Noble Phantasm for the team.
Adding the materials from this sword would likely significantly enhance the forged Noble Phantasm, so it's definitely not a waste; even some of the world's cheat-like items can be collected and used as materials.
Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up when they heard Li Yu say that. Noble Phantasm? That's amazing! They had seen Asuna's rapier before. When Asuna cut down those Demon King's Army, it was like cutting vegetables. It was incredibly powerful.
Currently, excluding Emilia Asuna probably second only to Ais in the class, right? The power amplified by that Noble Phantasm is more than just a little bit!
