Chapter 767

Facing the curious gazes of the others looking over, Riveria, who was also on the shore, offered an explanation: "Ais was a strong-willed child who was also comparatively prone to getting heated up when she was little; she stubbornly wanted to become strong, always shouting things about going to the Dungeon to kill all the monsters."

"Back then, to prevent that somewhat reckless her from having an accident, I took charge of training her, and throwing her into the water was also just to let the little her calm down properly when her head got hot……"

The others: "……"

Physical calm down, huh?!

"I also didn't expect that she would unexpectedly become the current situation of being afraid of water."

The Nine Magic Princesses were also somewhat surprised.

"Riveria, I don't have any meaning of blaming you either; the little me indeed made you worry quite a lot."

Ais comforted the elf mother in return.

"And, I'm not afraid of water either, just not too good at responding to a liquid environment where my feet might not be able to touch the bottom, so, the matter of going into the water, let's forget it, I'll just watch everyone play on the beach."

"Eh, how can this do, being an Adventurer yet a dry duck this kind of thing, is an extremely big weakness, if in the future you must face a situation where you have no choice but to go into the water, wouldn't it be game over, it might even drag down the team's hind legs, Ais, I feel you should take this opportunity to learn to swim properly."

Loki spoke with righteous severity.

"How about this, this Main God-sama with extremely good water nature will personally, hand-in-hand, teach this child to learn swimming!"

Only her two hands making a kneading motion with evil intent betrayed her true intention; this hoodlum Goddess just wanted to take advantage of Ais hard while teaching the Sword Princess girl to swim.

In the end, Ais acknowledged Loki's words, that her own inability to swim might become someone who drags the team down in the future, but just wanting to learn swimming, there was no need to let this Main God-sama with ulterior motives do the teaching.

"Damn~"

Loki with a face of unwillingness, but could only accept Tiona and Lefiya and the other girls going to teach their family's cute Sword Princess.

"Let's first learn how to tread water."

Tiona pulled the Sword Princess's hand, and practiced right there at the seaside.

"Is it like this?"

"Right, Ais, you're doing well."

Worthy of a high-level Adventurer, the Sword Princess's capability for body control is just high, she quickly learned the correct way to tread water.

"Then, now, I'm going to let go of you……"

Tiona let go of her hand, but just at the next moment she released her hand, the Sword Princess directly sank down.

"No, why did you learn to tread water, yet still directly sink down?"

After fishing the sunk girl from the sea to the shallow area, Tiona asked in confusion.

"Sorry, I don't know either, I just naturally sank down."

Regarding this, Ais just hugged the Amazon girl's waist, coughing while apologizing.

After that, Tiona brought Ais and attempted several more times, and everyone discovered the crux of the problem.

"Ais-san, once submerged by water, her whole body becomes stiff."

"It looks like it should be the sequelae from being frequently thrown into the water to calm down when she was little……"

"How about, try holding breath underwater first, see how adapting to the feeling of being underwater works?"

Lefiya proposed a suggestion.

"No good, completely useless."

After another round of attempts, a disappointing result was obtained.

Once entering underwater, feet unable to step firm, the Sword Princess girl would experience body stiffening.

"Riveria-sama, did you perhaps train little Ais-san as some kind of wild beast?"

Ais's situation, rather than saying she can't swim, it's better to say a conditioned reflex of 【once submerged by water she will definitely be at a loss】 was established, and Beast Tamers generally use this kind of way to train wild beasts, even control monsters.

"Let me try, how about it?"

Just when the crowd helping Ais learn to swim were somewhat at a loss, Broly, who had been watching from the side for a while, spoke up.

"Eh, Broly, do you have any good ideas?"

Tiona asked curiously.

"I'm not certain if it's useful, but I do have a thought."

"What thought?"

"People always have things they're not good at doing, but if you swap the thing you're not good at doing for a thing you yourself are good at doing, wouldn't that lower the difficulty of learning to do the thing you're not good at?"

"Uh, then specifically how to do it?"

"Very simple, Ais, you're good at Swordsmanship right."

"Mhm."

"Then don't go think about swimming things, directly come learn a new Swordsmanship with me."

Broly didn't know how to solve the conditioned reflex problem, but he had once taught Alice, who was not good at dancing, to learn dancing.

Ais and Alice only differ by one character, but Broly felt things should be about the same; Alice not good at dancing, Ais not good at swimming.

Alice has combat talent, Ais also has it; Broly used combat ways to teach Alice dancing, similarly, can also use practicing Swordsmanship ways to teach Ais swimming.

Brain discarding the matter of swimming into water, single-mindedly only thinking practice sword, practice sword, practice sword, and this training way turned out quite effective.

Making the Sword Princess girl swim while body stiff is impossible, but if making the other party, while body stiff, use hands and feet as substitute swords to wave out Swordsmanship in the water, that can be done.

Standing on the coast, Riveria only saw Ais in the sea, like a tuna speeding through the water, suddenly leaping out of the water surface, then plopping down.

Although the swimming posture is a bit subtle, compared to a human, more like a Swordfish, but indeed able to splash about in the water, and the high-speed splashing kind.

And splashing about together with Ais, there's also Broly this Saiyan boy who taught the girl this unique swimming posture.

As for why Broly would know this, that's naturally because Water God Style actually also contains this part of technique — the Six-Faced World's First Water God, was originally famous for slaying rampaging sea tribe Sea Dragons.

Although Water God Style Swordsmanship evolved moves because of land environment, reverse-pushing the initial version of Water God Style Swordsmanship isn't difficult for Broly either, just previously he didn't have this necessity to do this kind of reverse-pushing, Ais just happened to bump into it.

"Ugh, coming to the seaside shouldn't it be normal playing in water, at worst hugging and cuddling in the water, even getting intimate behind beach reefs is normal, why did it become a new Swordsmanship teaching location!?"

Looking at the distant sea level, Broly's figure leaped out from under the water surface, simultaneously bringing forth a water blade of Water God Style Ultimate Technique Sea Dragon Slash, Liliruca started complaining.

"Walen-san, your methods for attracting that kid Broly really are something!"

Hestia was also grinding her teeth in the shallow water area.

Swimsuit beauty comes second; practicing swordsmanship makes me happy.

The women in swimsuits in the shallow water area soon began watching the two people practicing swordsmanship mysteries over there.

The waves raised by the clashing Sea Dragon Slashes were just short of being usable for surfing.

"Tione, Tiona, I have a request for you two."

Some time had passed since entering the sea; entertainment and relaxation were just about done, so Loki sought out the Amazoness Sisters.

"What is it? If it's wanting to touch my butt or rub my chest, then please excuse my refusal."

Tione watched with vigilance at those narrowed eyes.

"Ah, do I seem like that kind of Goddess?"

Loki started complaining in dissatisfaction, then saw both sisters nod simultaneously.

"Not 'seem like' — you simply are."

"Fine, I just want you two to dive down to the seabed and check whether the Leviathan Seal on the underwater entrance leading to the Dungeon's Water Vein is still secure."

"Eh?"

"I suspect that the Man-eating Flower Monsters that appeared inside the City during the last Monster Festival came out from the underwater passage on Melen's side."

Loki gave an explanation.

"Ah, no wonder the swimsuits Loki-sama gave us were Water Spirit Cloth."

Tiona realized; coming to Melen this time, it now appears it was indeed premeditated.

This pair of Amazoness Sisters did not refuse the Main God's issued Quest; they directly dove and swam toward the seabed depths.

With the Water Spirit Cloth swimsuits, their swimming speed was not slower than fish.

Before long, they arrived at the Water Outlet linking the Dungeon's Water Vein.

Tione pointed at herself, gesturing left underwater.

Then pointed at her younger sister, gesturing toward the right.

Tiona directly understood her own older sister's meaning.

This pair of Amazoness Sisters, one left one right, began inspecting the Seal embedded above the Water Outlet, made from Leviathan Remains.

The two inspected a full circle meticulously, found no missing parts in the Seal, met underwater, and Tiona shook her head at her older sister.

Tione thought for a moment, then pointed upward; just as the two were preparing to surface for air, then swim back to report the seabed Seal situation to Loki.

Two plant-type Monsters resembling sea snakes swam past from the seawater not far away; both Tione and Tiona spotted them. This pair of Amazoness Sisters, who had originally intended to swim back to the sea surface for air, instantly changed their swimming direction in the sea and chased after the Man-eating Flowers.

"Gurururu……"

One Man-eating Flower was caught up to and quickly eliminated through the tacit cooperation of this pair of Amazoness Sisters, but the other one headed straight for a passing sea vessel overhead.

Tione and Tiona absolutely did not dare delay time to retrieve the Magic Stones that fell and sank to the seabed; they chased after the second Man-eating Flower.

However, they were still a step too slow; the Man-eating Flower had already reached that ship first. Just as the two thought the ship would suffer destruction.

"Bang—"

The Man-eating Flower that had just bound the ship had its large head suddenly burst open; it was actually instantly killed by someone on the ship.

The people on the ship did not discover the two in the sea, but Tione saw the Sea Snake Flag hanging on the gunwale, and that was precisely the emblem belonging to the Dun Country 【Telskyura】.

"Older Sister, is that Kali-sama's ship?"

"Don't need you to say it; I saw it too."

"Eh, Older Sister, what are you going to do?"

"What else? That is of course to go ask those guys, what exactly they came here to do?!"

Tione directly chased after the ship sailing toward the Port; Tiona had no way to stop her, so could only follow along.

However, she did take out the Communication Crystal Loki had just handed her, and reported the situation to the Main God on the other end.

"Dun Country, huh. That's some trouble."

Receiving Tiona's transmission, Loki muttered a line, then called the others to go ashore.

Everyone didn't even have time to change out of their swimsuits before being led by Loki, rushing hurriedly toward the Harbor direction.

"Loki-sama, did something happen?"

Lefiya asked.

"Nothing has happened yet, but if we go late, something might end up happening."

The Dun Country's sea vessel arrived at the Port; a herd of Amazoness Warriors disembarked.

Just as the Goddess wearing extremely revealing clothing, with a Pomegranate physique, at the lead was about to walk toward the Town, a call came from behind.

"Kali!"

The young Goddess wearing a half-bone mask on her head, with a Skeleton-head necklace as decoration on her neck, turned her head. Upon seeing the Amazoness girl running over, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes: "Isn't this the child who left this one's side some years ago?"

"What are you bringing people over here for?"

Compared to this Goddess's pleasant surprise, Tione appeared rather imposing.

"This one came over here for sightseeing. What of it?"

"Cut the lies. A Goddess like you, how could you possibly come here for a reason like that?"

Towards Kali's answer, Tione completely did not believe it.

"Hey hey hey, is that your attitude when speaking to a Former Main God?"

Kali was somewhat dissatisfied with Tione's attitude.

The Amazoness Warriors beside her cast somewhat unkind gazes at Tione.

"Answer my question."

Kali ignored Tione's question, her gaze turning toward the other Amazon girl following behind.

"Tiona, do you also intend to be like your sister, filled with hostility toward this Former Main God?"

"Uh, although I don't really want to be hostile toward Lady Kali, given the current situation, I'll stand by my sister's side."

Tiona looked at the group of Amazon women staring at them with predatory intent across from them, and chose to stand firmly behind her sister.

"Ah, your sisterly bond is still this good; then, let this one properly witness the growth you've achieved outside these years since leaving me!"

As her words fell, a tall Amazon woman walked out from behind the Loli Goddess and stopped before Tione.

"Algana..."

Tione, who had already reached Level 6, looked at the Amazon woman who had stepped forward, and subconsciously assumed a defensive posture.

Just as the two sides confronted each other, battle about to break out, Loki came running over: "Hey hey, Kali, you guy, what do you want to do with my kids?"

"Yo, isn't this Loki? You're still the same as before, not a bit of substance in your chest."

Kali greeted Loki who had run over, but this greeting was extremely unfriendly, making the Clown Goddess somewhat frantic with anger.

"Hah, you're flat-chested yourself, what gives you the right to say that about me?!"

"This one has a child's posture, while you have an adult's posture."

As Kali spoke, she looked toward Hestia who had come along, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

"Eh, have you gotten on good terms with this Giant Breasts Loli?"

"Hey, you brat-looking guy is very impolite, what do you mean Giant Breasts Loli, don't I have a name?"

Hestia was very dissatisfied with Kali's address for her, baring her teeth at her.

"There are quite a few people; doesn't seem like a good time for a reunion."

Kali ignored Hestia's baring of teeth, her gaze sweeping over the group of people who had followed behind one by one, then spoke to Tione.

"Reunion? No, I don't want to see your mug again even a little bit."

"Contrary to you, these years, this one has missed you two quite a lot."

Kali waved her hand.

"Alright, this one still has business; let's make an appointment for later. We're leaving."

Finished speaking, she led her people away.

And Tione, not wanting to drag others into her private affairs, did not move to stop the other party from leaving.
