Chapter 454

“Hmm? I’ve told you several times already, you have to call me Sister Lvzi, do you understand?”
“…Sister Lvzi.”
Clearly, she was about the same age as me… Jilly couldn’t help but complain in her heart.
She did not mind calling the girl who looked her age “sister.” After wandering alone in this land for five or six years, she had learned a lot about people—the ones who truly cared for her and those who had their own reasons for being nice. She could sense the difference.
Interestingly, even though their voices and personalities were different, sometimes she would have the illusion of seeing the other girl as Sister White Feather.
She had only heard her sister’s voice in “Psychic Call” and had never seen her sister’s face.
“If you don’t want to run away, then you have to fight.”
At that moment, a sharp-eyed blonde girl next to the green-haired girl said seriously.
“Jilly, remember not to stray too far from us during the fight.”
“Understood, Sister Army Lady.”
Unlike before when she needed Lvzi’s reminder to call her “sister,” Jilly had no hesitation calling this blonde girl, who was also around her age, “sister.”
If Lvzi made her feel playfully lively, Sister Army Lady was more mature and steady, giving her a stronger sense of an older sister.
Just like before, sometimes she also had the illusion of seeing Sister Army Lady as Sister White Feather. It’s quite strange.
“Then, let’s go too.”
After receiving a reply, Sister Army Lady looked towards the battlefield, her eyes shining with amazing fighting spirit.
She hadn’t fought at full strength for a long time.
With this thought, she couldn’t help but push aside what she had said earlier and rushed to the battlefield first.
“Fighting fool.”
At that moment, the last of the four girls spoke softly.
She was the oldest in appearance among the four, looking around twenty, with long gray hair and bright silver eyes.
“Sister Stealth One.”
Jilly stared at the woman with gray hair, her face went blank again.
If the first two people only made Jilly feel confused, then Sister Stealth One gave her an even stronger feeling! Both the voice and personality were very similar to the person in her memories, and in terms of age, she was also closer than the other two women!
Although she had not yet succeeded in avenging, once this battle was over, should she go back to Granville Monster Forest?
Thinking of the person in her memories, Jilly couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart.
“Hmm.”
In response to Jilly’s greeting, Sister Stealth One simply nodded her head and softly replied.
Over the past three years, she had spent most of her time in the Adventurer’s Guild in the royal capital, while the task of finding Jilly was given to Sister Army Lady and Lvzi.
Even when they found Jilly and invited her to join their Adventurer Squad, they had only spent just over a month together; before that, Sister Army Lady and Lvzi had been with her all the time.
Additionally, Sister Stealth One was quiet and had a cold personality, so Jilly was not as familiar with her as she was with the other two women.
…
At the moment Army Lady rushed to the battlefield, the adventurers, led by the “Great Blade” Walkery, were already engaged in battle with the flesh monsters that had emerged from the meat mountain.
These Class A adventurers not only had high ranks but also each possessed their own skills, and regular tentacles were no match for them; only giant tentacles posed a challenge.
As for the humanoid monsters, they found it even harder to deal with them, but fortunately, the number of adventurers far exceeded that of the humanoid monsters, so for the time being, they were able to hold them back.
“Whoa! It’s Army Lady from the ‘Moat Blade’ Adventurer Squad! Lady Army Lady has come to help!!”
Recognizing Army Lady, the adventurers from the royal capital shouted joyfully when they saw her rushing in.
“Army Lady? Is she the Army Lady from the S-class Adventurer Squad? One of the three newly promoted S-class adventurers in the kingdom?”
“That’s right! It’s her!!”
In three years, the once B-class Moat Blade Adventurer Squad had risen to S-class, and its three members, Army Lady, Lvzi, and Stealth One, had their names spread throughout every Adventurer’s Guild in the kingdom.
Since all three girls had captivating beauty, during the time they first became S-class adventurers, not only did adventurers in the Adventurer’s Guild talk about them, but people in town also frequently mentioned them.
Back to the present.
Just as the adventurers were fighting and conversing, Army Lady rushed in front of a humanoid monster.
As she charged in, the sharp sword in her hand swung upward and struck, defeating the humanoid monster that had been a tough opponent for the Class A adventurer for a long time.
With her exceptional sword skills, even without using any special techniques, Army Lady could effortlessly defeat each humanoid monster on the spot.
“Hahaha, that’s amazing! Miss Army Lady’s skills might be even stronger than the Empire’s Sword King Hugue!”
After watching Army Lady fight, another S-class adventurer, Walkery, chopped an attacking humanoid monster in half with his large sword while laughing in admiration.
He was observing Army Lady, and Army Lady was observing him.
She had heard about the S-class adventurers in the kingdom and had wanted to try fighting them, but this time, only Walkery came to confront the Meat Mountain.
Although she was curious about her opponent’s strength and wondered if she could defeat him without changing her stance or using cheating skills like “Magnification” and “Berserk,” this was not the right moment to duel.
After nodding at Walkery to greet him, she confronted the advancing humanoid monster.
At that moment, Lvzi, Stealth One, and Jilly caught up and joined the battle against the flesh-and-blood monsters on the battlefield.
Lvzi was using a long sword specially made for her, which had a high resistance to poison and corrosion, along with several short daggers made of the same material.
The short dagger, carrying an acidic liquid, pierced through one tentacle and humanoid monster after another, and in the next moment, these flesh monsters quickly corroded into pools of blood.
If a monster got too close, she used the long sword to attack, and any monster struck by the sword would also be entirely corroded.
In terms of killing efficiency, Lvzi even surpassed Army Lady.
As for Stealth One, she naturally wielded two daggers as her weapons.
With a higher agility and a talent for stealth, her figure in battle was as elusive as a ghost, allowing her to toy with the monsters while skillfully wielding her daggers to take them down one by one.
Although she could not compare to the three from Lvzi, Jilly’s performance was also commendable.
Even though she was only a Class A adventurer, her perception of danger was exceptionally sharp; it was difficult for enemies to hit her, and once her long sword was drawn, it swiftly felled tentacles and humanoid monsters.
