"Hoo!"

Sitting on the rooftop, looking around the village, Mika's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.

Tomorrow is the day Mika and the others will head to Orario. It is also the day he will say goodbye to the place where he has lived for nearly ten years.

"What's wrong? Feeling reluctant?"

Climbing up the ladder and seeing Mika's expression, Yahweh asked with concern.

"Indeed, but this won't affect my determination to go to Orario."

Standing up and looking into the distance, Mika said seriously, "We cannot stop until we reach our dreams."

"Quite determined, aren't you!"

Hearing Yahweh's teasing, Mika smiled lightly.

Then he turned around and asked, "Yahweh-sama, is there something you need?"

Hearing Mika's question, Yahweh's previously relaxed expression turned serious.

"Are you just going to watch Airmid and the others like this?"

"Oh, it's about that!"

Mika realized and then rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Ever since Mika gained magic, Airmid has been 'diligently' training every day.

Originally, the training tasks Mika and Yahweh set for Airmid and Mellie were already doubled, but now Airmid and the others are training at four times the amount.

This has led to them spending all their time either eating or training, with even their sleep time being reduced.

As for the reason, Mika knew it well.

It was dissatisfaction with her own strength.

Airmid believed that if they encountered a dangerous situation, Mika would disregard their agreement to protect them.

Although it wasn't visible from her appearance, Airmid believed Mika had a spirit of self-sacrifice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened such magic.

So, she couldn't let her strength remain weak, in case she would drag Mika down, leading to his death.

Faced with Airmid's firm determination, Mika couldn't persuade her and could only let her continue training.

Additionally, influenced by her, Mellie also started training with Airmid.

After all, she was also part of the group Airmid mentioned as being protected by Mika, which was unacceptable to Mellie, who aspired to assist Mika in becoming a hero.

"I can't do anything about it! Yesterday I wanted to persuade her, but after seeing me, she trained even harder."

Seeing Mika's distressed look, Yahweh sighed.

"It seems like we'll have to wait until she figures it out herself. But who knows when that will be."

Staring into the distant sky, Mika remained silent.

...

After coming down from the rooftop, Mika returned to his room and sat at the desk to study.

And he was not studying anything else, but the interpretation of sacred texts.

In the world of Danmachi, sacred texts are used by gods and possess special powers.

The system of divine blessings is constructed from sacred texts.
