Keare truly hadn't expected that the War God, Takemikazuchi, would regard him as a disciple, especially since it was a choice made regardless of Familia affiliations.
If he were to refuse this, he'd be pure crazy.
A god proficient in various martial arts techniques, whose strength could rival an Adventurer of Lv5, could not teach everything, even if he was willing to spend some time.
At the very least, he could become half a weapon master in the Dungeon.
And accepting the identity of a War God's disciple also meant a deep connection with the members of the Take Mikazuchi Familia to some extent.
Keare, of course, had no objections; his tone was decisive:
"It is my honor to become a disciple of Lord Takemikazuchi."
"When I was exploring the Dungeon today, I encountered a rare monster, the Blue Butterfly, and had no means to deal with it, so I want to learn bow and arrow related weapons."
"I thought..."
"You would, like last time, choose a combat style simply because it looked cool."
Takemikazuchi shook his head gently, but in the complex environment of the Dungeon, mastering more combat styles was always beneficial for exploration and development.
As for bow and arrow training.
It wasn't as cumbersome as basic swordsmanship; it was simply about adjusting posture, shooting techniques, and repeatedly training to gradually improve accuracy.
Training conditions were limited at night.
After mastering the training method, Keare did not continue to bother Takemikazuchi; after expressing his gratitude again, he returned to the abandoned church on South Street.
Mastering the training method.
Next came the tedious and boring training, but he soon discovered a problem:
He had to customize a bow with a high enough draw weight; for Keare, whose overall abilities already far exceeded those of a normal adult male, this low-intensity training...
Didn't even provide an opportunity to use 'Recovery' or 'Imitation'.
"Tomorrow."
"I must go to the Dian Cecht Familia to sell the rare Blue Butterfly's drops, and it would be best to customize a bow with the maximum draw weight."
With this thought.
Keare simply washed up and then chose to rest.
This feeling of being able to improve in ability by putting in effort is truly captivating, and the feedback is very strong.
Unlike his previous life.
At least in Dungeon or Familia, he wouldn't work hard to earn money only to find that his salary couldn't keep up with the rising housing prices.
Meanwhile, in the collective dormitory of the War God Familia.
Since he was taking in a member of another Familia as a disciple, Takemikazuchi felt that the children of his Familia had the right to know about this matter.
Crucially.
There was also the information that Keare was actually a support personnel.
"That's how it happened."
"Hestia and I have a very good relationship; she is a trustworthy god, and her Familia member, Keare, from my observation."
"His personality is very much to my liking; what do you all think?"
"We're just... looking at it."
"To us, Lord Takemikazuchi is also an elder and a master; in other words, Keare... he can also be considered my junior disciple, right?"
The first to react was Mikoto, who already had an excellent impression of Keare.
As the captain, Kashima Sakura, did not express an opinion, while Chigusa, who was somewhat timid and centered around the captain, simply lowered her head to avoid eye contact.
When Takemikazuchi said these words, he was also observing the reactions of his Familia members; upon seeing their unperturbed expressions, he slightly relaxed.
He continued: "There's also a rather important matter."
"It's about Keare teaming up with you for Dungeon exploration. This information... you just need to know it; don't reveal it."
"Understood, Lord Takemikazuchi."
Kashima Sakura looked up; after all, it concerned the safety of the Familia, and he had to take it seriously, but Takemikazuchi's next words.
Made everyone present a bit restless.
"Keare."
"He is actually a logistics support Adventurer; if you get injured in the Dungeon, you can safely entrust him with healing.", Takemikazuchi explained.
Logistics support.
Kashima Sakura was surprised; it was simply because the number of such Adventurers was extremely scarce, mostly monopolized by the powerful Familias in Orario.
He had never imagined that his small Familia could get such a good deal?
Judging from this information, coming from a weak Familia and without the help of companions, it was reasonable for Keare to want to improve his strength.
Even though he could rely on his talent to enable the Dungeon's easy mode.
Keare was still willing to put in effort and sweat; just this alone made it hard for Kashima Sakura not to have a good impression of this future teammate!
And the most peculiar expression belonged to Yamato Mikoto; as a sparring partner for sword skills, she truly had many things she wanted to complain about regarding Keare.
Those days of high-intensity training.
No wonder he could recover to normal so quickly; it turns out he had 'healing' skills. This guy was purely treating himself as a training sandbag!
"No wonder..."
"That guy Keare always acted as if nothing happened after getting injured in combat training; it turns out he was secretly using Recovery skills when I wasn't around."
I'm a person too!
Doesn't this guy know to help me heal and recover after training? Thinking of this, the black-haired girl couldn't help but grit her teeth.
But more than that.
It was Mikoto's heartfelt admiration and an urgent desire to improve her strength; if she didn't work harder, wouldn't she be caught up by Keare?
—
Lili, disguised as the 'Cinder Girl', with her appearance reminiscent of the Ice Wolf Tribe's Setsuna, made her highly recognizable in the Central Plaza.
She lacked a bit of wildness in her eyes.
But in return, she had a slightly higher IQ than Setsuna.
Considering that he could continue to cosplay Setsuna and grasp the famous scene of the future in Dungeon or Familia, Keare just wanted to say: What more could he ask for?
They successfully met up and, with great tacit agreement, chose to head to the starting floor of the Dungeon.
After a simple exchange of information, they quickly focused on Dungeon exploration, and considering the sudden increase in difficulty on the 10th floor.
Today's exploration plan was still to be carried out in the 9th floor area.
Thanks to his familiarity with monster weaknesses, the overall process was very smooth, but in terms of luck, yesterday's streak did not continue.
They did not encounter any rare monsters.
But this was also something Keare had anticipated; if they were that easy to encounter, why would the Blue Butterfly still be called a rare monster?
With the existence of the supporter Lili, there was no need to worry about collecting drops.
He could focus all his energy on fighting monsters, and as for how many monsters he killed, he had gradually lost count.
But the valis exchanged for magic stones and materials at the end would not lie.
After finishing today's exploration, Keare stood at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild and looked up at the sky gradually dyed red by the setting sun.
"Today's harvest was pretty good."
"I still have a surplus of nearly 60,000 valis now. Next, I'll go to the Pure White Sanatorium to sell the rare materials to Amid!"
