The Two Sisters Join
"Hello, Elize- chan."
Meitellia introduced herself with a smile, and then had Elize introduce everyone.
"Hello, I'm Ais, your senior."
Ais's bright eyes, her innocent and adorable face, and her seemingly flat yet intensely emotional tone all made her incredibly cute.
Since Elize was only two years older than her, she felt it was just another playmate to have.
More importantly—this makes Ais a 'senior'.
"Hello, Ais- senpai, please take care of me from now on."
Elize greeted everyone with a smile, not minding at all that Ais was younger.
That being said, the two should get along very well.
Ais's Tempest and Elize's Red Flower Chickweed are both similar types of enchantment magic.
The former is a wind-type, agile swordsman.
The latter is associated with fire, and its fighting style is more ferocious.
It would be really fun if the two of them teamed up.
Chapter 128 The Joining of the Two Sisters
"Hello, my name is Ray."
Ray waved and greeted Elize.
"I thought I was seeing things, but it's real?"
Elize looked at Ming Ge with a puzzled expression.
"Ray is a monster with intelligence; I call her Xenos."
Ming Ge said, "Since the Dungeon became active, many unusual things have happened. It's not just Orario that's changing; the whole world is changing."
"I see."
Elize nodded and looked at Ray, saying, "Hello, I'm Elize."
She grasped Ray's wings, as if shaking hands, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Although monsters are the enemy—a fact that has become a consensus in this world— Elize still chooses to trust Ray.
Of course, it could also be said that Elize trusted Ming Ge.
She is also young, so she is more open to new ideas.
Seeing Elize's reaction, Ray also showed a simple and happy smile.
"Speaking of which, the Ganesha Familia wants two members of their clan to convert to our clan."
Astraea seemed to remember something and looked at Ming Ge, saying, "They are sisters, named Shakti and Aki. Do you remember them?"
"Those two sisters... they have a strong sense of justice, which should align with your sense of justice."
Ming Ge was somewhat surprised and asked, "Speaking of which, Ganesha is actually willing to release them?"
In this era, the Ganesha Familia had not yet risen to prominence, but their numbers were already considerable, and they frequently assisted the guild in its duties.
I remember the last time we caught a thief, they helped us take him to the guild prison.
"A good god should consider the future of his children... This is what Ganesha said."
Astraea smiled and said, "Don't let Ganesha's eccentricity fool you; he's no less loving towards children."
"I see... then I roughly understand his reasons for doing this."
Ming Ge nodded in understanding.
Ming Ge knew the two sisters, and although they were the ones who received help, they were still connected.
According to the definition of the Astraea Familia, these sisters certainly meet the requirements.
Even though Ming Ge said that it's possible to train an exploration-type Familia, it's not as good as directly joining the Astraea Familia in terms of safety or growth.
After all, Shakti was only Iv2 and Aki was only lv1, so it was too dangerous for them to enter the current Dungeon.
Therefore, having these two promising talents join the Astraea Familia will allow them to grow even better.
"Take it."
Ming Ge smiled and said, "The addition of two promising newcomers is a good thing."
"Hmm... I'll go check it out tomorrow."
Astraea nodded.
"Then it's time to celebrate."
Ming Ge smiled and said, "Welcome to the Astraea Familia, newcomer."
Bang! Bang! The sound of cannons went off, creating a lively atmosphere around them.
Elize arrived exhausted from her journey, so she didn't start teaching on the first day.
After celebrating for a while and explaining what she needed to do in the future, evening soon arrived.
A small banquet was held, and everyone drank quite a bit.
Of course, Ais and Elize didn't drink. Although there's no rule against minors drinking alcohol in this other world, Ming Ge still remembers that the child was curious about the taste of the alcohol and started acting crazy after taking a sip.
As long as he's not around Ming Ge, this kid is the kind who'd actually draw his sword. He seems well-behaved, but he's actually a brat with terrible drinking manners.
Meitellia and Alfia drank quite a bit, and perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, the three of them took a bath together and then stayed together, returning to their room together.
Although they were still a little awkward, they drank to bolster their courage. Seeing each other, who were usually either dignified or gentle, reveal another side of themselves, the two sisters couldn't help but marvel at how much they had grown up.
A night passes in the blink of an eye.
Ming Ge woke up early the next morning.
Ais also got up early to exercise. You could say kids have lots of energy. Ming Ge remembers waking up around 3 a. m. when she was little to watch her parents get up early and go to work.
