The atmosphere there had suddenly become somewhat strange.
Shien and Diere just stared at each other like that, also falling into silence.
After a while, Shien felt like he needed to go on the attack.
“I…”
Shien continued to construct hundreds of additional signals for use in his mind and got ready to seriously go at it again.
Unfortunately, Shien’s courage and perseverance was slain by a single sentence from Diere.
“You want to learn?”
Diere just directly stabbed into the heart of the subject without avoiding the issue.
Shien who got really to go at it was suddenly countered without any way of expressing it. The signals that were about to leave his mouth could no longer be stopped though, so he ended up giving such a response.
“W-Who wants to learn? Not me!”
Shien’s words became something like that, and his tone was filled with a strangely high tension too.
“”””…””””
This time, not just Diere, but also Vivian, Lumia and Melika all went silent. They just had no words.
Shien managed to respond too, and he seriously wanted to slap himself across the mouth.
(Where’d this tsundere bit come from!?)
Shien wanted to die there and then.
Yet, at this moment, Diere said something.
“I can teach you.”
Diere actually showed such an attitude in front of everyone there.
“Diere?”
Vivian was suddenly surprised.
“Eh?”
Lumia was also dumbfounded.
“Teach?”
Melika found it similarly unexpected.
That’s because, anyone who knew Diere would know, that prodigy girl isn’t someone who cares to get along with people. Her attitude towards others are generally super cold, and only with her comrades in the same party would she relax her attitude somewhat. Even that was only in terms of her attitude though, and she’s basically not the kind of person who would volunteer to help someone else.
Plus, Diere was also very much on her guard against Shien before, and she’d been treating him with caution the whole time.
For that Diere to suddenly make such a change, that was really unexpected for everyone.
What’s even more unexpected is that Diere would actually declare that she’s going to teach Shien the [Magic Sword] skill so straightforwardly.
“That’s [Magic Sword] though? A high level skill that could only be learned with a low chance for a level 70 melee type you know?”
The words that Melika had let out should be what everyone who understood the situation wanted to say, right?
A high level skill that even a level 70 melee type would only have have a low chance of learning. Diere managed to learn it before level 60 and she was already known as an unmatched prodigy, but now she wants a level 10 newbie to learn it?
Anyone who knew would have just a few words: Stop messing around.
But Diere didn’t particularly mind.
“Come find me after we get back to Lamdrion.”
With that, Diere turned around and left.
Lumia and Melika once more looked at each other before hurriedly following along.
“That…”
Shien still hasn’t quite managed to react and was still just blinking furiously on his own.
Vivian who was left gave Shien a deep and meaningful look, and, after a bit, bloomed into a smile.
“See? I told you that someone had already let down their guard against you, you just didn’t know, that’s all.”
Vivian spoke with a grinning tone, and Shien had no response to that.
“Alright.”
It looks like, as a Hero from transmigrating to another world, he has some weight after all.
