A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 54 : ‘I've finally caught up to Senpai's footsteps
Chapter 54 - ‘I've finally caught up to Senpai's footsteps!
...In the morning, Anna was snuggling with Atala. In the afternoon, when Anna wanted to go and snuggle with Louise, she suddenly heard a sizzling sound of Lightning coming from the training ground where Louise was.
Anna immediately realized that this was someone breaking through a small stage of their attribute, and they were discharging Lightning. However, she noticed that the sound of Lightning was quite prolonged.
Usually, a small attribute boost only sizzles for a few seconds, but the training ground... had it been going on for almost ten seconds?
Oh no, could something have happened to Louise?
Was it not an attribute boost causing the discharge, but rather a mage casting some Lighting magic to attack Louise?
Although Anna had never seen any Lighting magic, spells like Lightning Bolt were as difficult to learn as Fireball. Helga could already be considered quite good for having learned Fireball.
A normal Fireball was not something an F-rank mage could learn; learning Flame Arrow was already pretty good. Helga's ability to learn it was a testament to her exceptional talent.
Except that both mana and strength were a bit off for a mage, Helga's talent in the path of magic was unusually high.
...But that's not the point right now!
“Lou! I'm coming to save you!”
With a flash, an exceptionally ornate longsword appeared in her hand. Wielding it, Anna charged straight into the training ground, only to find a bewildered Louise.
As for any mage who could cast Lighting magic...?
Sorry, I didn't see any.
All she could see was the Lightning on Louise's body gradually subsiding, and the sizzling sound that had lasted for dozens of seconds finally came to an end.
“Senpai?”
Seeing Anna so nervous, although Louise was a bit puzzled, judging from the words Anna shouted as she rushed in, it seemed that Anna thought something had happened to her?
Senpai is so concerned about me!
Louise's heart felt as sweet as honey, making her face flush red.
“...So, what exactly happened?”
Seeing that nothing seemed to have happened, Anna was instead a bit confused.
“My attributes improved, didn't you see?”
Louise said it as if it were the most natural thing.
“...Isn't the Lighting discharge from an attribute boost just a brief thing? Why did it last so long?”
What just happened couldn't even be called a discharge... it was more like a leak.
“...Well, about that.”
At this point, Louise inexplicably felt a little proud.
“I think two of my attributes improved at the same time?”
“?”
Anna slowly typed out a question mark.
...
After a simple explanation, Anna's face could only be described as astonished.
“You're saying that your Stamina attribute and Mana attribute both improved at the same time?”
Two attributes improving simultaneously... Although Louise had initially said so, Anna thought she must have misheard.
Because... This is truly unheard of!
It's almost common knowledge on this land, attributes cannot improve simultaneously. If both of your attributes have been honed to the point of advancement, only one attribute will improve in a day... This is the most basic of common knowledge.
But... Louise actually broke this common knowledge?
Anna circled around Louise several times, leaving Louise full of question marks.
“Senpai, there's no need to look at me like that...”
“I don't believe you don't know the common knowledge about attribute improvement.”
“I know that too.”
“Did you drink some kind of potion?”
Although it's said that natural attribute improvement can only happen once a day... that's “natural improvement.”
If there's external assistance, it's completely different.
“Something particularly evil, seemingly without side effects, improves your attributes, but then you sign some kind of agreement with something of completely unknown origin, and it ends up constantly playing life in your head or something...”
“Senpai, what are you talking about?”
This made Louise even more confused.
“...Nothing.”
Honestly, Anna really was thinking about those attribute enhancement potions.
“So, did you drink any potion or not...”
“Senpai! Are you looking down on me?”
Louise got angry.
“Ah... this...”
Facing Louise's anger, Anna was somewhat at a loss.
Seemingly aware that her emotions had been too intense just now, Louise took a deep breath and calmed down a bit: “It was a natural improvement. At most, I just ate a bit more of those monster meats.”
“...”
Anna knew that too... After all, everyone ate at the same table, and they all had those monster meats.
It's just that for Anna, those monster meats weren't as effective anymore; she needed higher-grade monster meats to help with her attributes.
But... how does this relate to Louise being able to improve two attributes at the same time...
...
Wait, why am I being so nitpicky?
Anna suddenly realized something.
Was she too worried about Louise?
Looking at Louise's face, Anna inexplicably felt reassured.
That final reassurance was the intuition that kicked in at such times.
‘Why not trust Louise and stop being so nitpicky?’
“...Sorry, Lou.”
Realizing her mistake, Anna immediately apologized, and facing her sudden apology, Louise was taken aback.
“I should have trusted you more...”
“No, it's just that Senpai was too worried about me... I know that.”
Seeing Anna apologizing so seriously, Louise panicked.
Louise thought that perhaps her earlier temper had made Anna angry, hence the distant attitude in her apology.
However, Anna's next action put Louise at ease.
Anna simply gently hugged Louise.
“...Stay with me for a while tonight.”
This was Anna's compensation to Louise, and also her response when she saw Louise's panic.
Louise, however, was completely stunned.
Such a proactive Senpai... has my Senpai been replaced by someone else?
Feeling the scent on Anna, Louise's heart completely relaxed, and her body softened considerably.
“That's what you said, Senpai.”
Using her usual method to breathe into Anna's ear, Louise made Anna lose her composure while also making herself feel much better.
My Senpai is still so cute!
“...But since both your Stamina and Mana have improved, doesn't that mean...”
Silly Senpai finally noticed that.
Louise's little pride was about to overflow again.
“Exactly what you're thinking!”
Previously, her attribute shortcomings were these two attributes. Although this was an unconventional attribute improvement, Louise had a clear conscience; she definitely didn't drink any strange potions.
If anything... Senpai's sudden large attribute improvement, like a hero's, was even stranger!
...In any case, these two attributes meant one thing for Louise.
Louise could now become an E-rank knight.
