A Hentai System in the World of Danmachi.

Chapter 139 – Has Tiona fallen in love?

The blades sliced through the air, producing loud sounds each time they pierced the monsters. They kept changing direction as if dancing in the air. The monsters couldn't get close.

I smiled at Ais, who looked startled.

"I didn't know you could do something like that," she said, watching my blades.

"It's very useful, but I can't keep it up for long." Even though my mana reserves had grown considerably, it was draining rapidly.

It took a lot of mana to keep the blades flying around at high speed. This isn't something I can use for extended periods; I'll have to turn it off soon.

"Then let's get ready. Don't worry, it's all right; you don't have to do everything alone. We're not going to die to something like this," Ais said confidently.

"That's right, Luan! You don't need to keep holding them back! Let them come closer!"

That's not the issue here... I know you won't die, but the mission doesn't allow you to get hurt. You can't get injured in any way.

How should I explain this to them?

There's no way to explain it.

"Don't worry, I can handle this."

The number of monsters had dwindled significantly.

All the monsters were nearby; I couldn't sense any further out. They were all gathered around us. I should create an escape route for them.

And that's what I did.

"Ais, Tiona, Tione. Being surrounded isn't a good idea—this way."

All the blades flew forward, creating a large path for us to pass through. To be safe, I used [Dark Magic] to create a tunnel, shielding us from any incoming attacks.

As we emerged on the other side, the monsters "screamed" in rage, and the Bad Bats increased their flying speed to harass us.

But my blades came from behind and pierced every one of them.

There were few Bad Bats left—they were nearly all dead.

The largest number of monsters now were the Orcs, the strongest ones.

Luckily, we weren't attacked by a large group of Infant Dragons or anything like that.

"Luan, shouldn't we leave now? These monsters seem endless," Ais looked back at the swarm of monsters. It was like an army of them.

"Don't worry, Ais, I can handle this."

"Are you sure? You look tired."

My breathing was heavy. I felt a little tired.

"It's fine; those blades drained a lot of my magic. I'm tired, but I'm okay. Don't worry, I'll recover quickly. In the meantime, I'll fight using my dagger."

"You plan to fight all of them head-on? Don't be ridiculous, we're going to help you."

"No. You can't get hurt. You can't suffer a single scratch, understand?"

Hearing my words, all three of them blushed, clearly embarrassed. They thought I said that because I liked them, but that's not it! I want to complete this mission!

"So stay back and don't get in my way, all right?" I said to them, looking seriously at all three.

After that, I started running toward the group of monsters, gripping my sword.

I cut through the air at high speed, then swung my dagger relentlessly, slicing through everything in my path. Even though some monsters managed to hit me, they were just weak ones.

I didn't feel any pain.

I began moving and slipping between the monsters, slicing through their bodies as if they were made of paper.

Their numbers didn't seem to be decreasing.

"Damn, my dagger."

My dagger was reaching its limit. It was extremely damaged, with cracks starting to appear along the blade. Besides, I couldn't cut the monsters as easily as before.

"Damn it. Burn."

With my dagger close to breaking, I used magic.

Around me, towering walls of flame rose in a 20-meter radius, burning the monsters within range.

"Their numbers have decreased enough; I think it's all right now. I can do this at my own pace."

But before I even realized it, the three girls were already close and had started fighting the monsters.

"I told you not to come closer!" I shouted, running toward them. I then created a barrier in front of them and myself. "I said I don't want you to suffer a single scratch. Stay back!"

"You looked like you were struggling, so we came to help. Don't worry, we won't get a single scratch," Ais said confidently.

I realized I was being foolish. These three girls are incredibly strong.

And as I expected, they began fighting the monsters with perfect coordination.

The number of monsters dwindled faster when we started working together.

We were lucky this mission took place on this level. If it had been deeper, we would have been in serious danger. Imagine an army of minotaurs coming at us like this.

Then, after long minutes and lots of magic used.

[ Mission completed! ]

[ Points: +50 ]

[ Ais Wallenstein, Tiona Hiryute, and Tione Hiryute's favorability increased by 50%. ]

[ Tiona Hiryute is in the process of falling in love with you. ]

What a surprise.

But I didn't have much time to think about it. My body, extremely fatigued, finally gave in. I had never used as much magic as I did today; my mana reserves were practically empty.

As I fell, the three girls approached, concerned.

"Luan, are you okay?" Tiona asked. She knelt down and placed her warm and soft hand on my face.

Ais, however, didn't express her concern in words, but her gaze said everything.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Thank goodness. I was worried," Tiona said, smiling.

Ais sighed in relief.
