Chapter 37: Lilina’s Growth
“So, why did Lilina suddenly become so strong?”
After defeating the bat-like monster, I decided to ask Lilina about something that had been on my mind.
With a proud look on her face, Lilina puffed out her chest.
“I awakened thanks to the power of my love for Lloyd-sama!”
“Uh…”
From her confident expression, it didn’t seem like she was joking.
Since Lilina seemed to be eagerly twitching her ears and wanting to be petted, I gently patted her head.
She responded with a relaxed, beaming smile.
“Hehe♪”
“So, can you tell me more about how this ‘love’ helped you become stronger?”
“Ah, Lloyd-sama, are you doubting me? It’s true! I thought, ‘If this continues, Lloyd-sama might die, I have to help!’ and suddenly I could use various skills!”
“No, no, surely not… But, is it possible?”
Looking at Lilina’s adorably upward gaze, I couldn’t help but utter those words.
Just as there are protagonist perks in anime, could there be something like a heroine perk as well?
If Lilina truly believes I’m the protagonist, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to awaken her abilities for the sake of the protagonist.
Well, in reality, I’m just a villain though.
But seeing Lilina’s awakening like this, maybe her explanation has some merit.
“By the way, what skills did you learn?”
When I asked, Lilina placed her index finger on her chin as if recalling.
“Um, I learned ‘Presence Detection,’ ‘Weak Point Detection,’ and ‘Sharp Blade.’ I was able to detect the monster’s location and weaknesses even in total darkness. Also, my dagger was sharper than usual.”
“I see. So that’s why you were able to land a hit on that monster.”
I nodded in appreciation as I listened to Lilina’s explanation.
It seems that with ‘Presence Detection,’ she could sense the monster’s presence, with ‘Weak Point Detection,’ she identified the monster’s weaknesses, and with ‘Sharp Blade,’ she made her dagger sharp enough to deliver a decisive blow.
Perhaps by concentrating her sensitive nose and ears to the limit, she was able to use ‘Presence Detection.’
It might be that her beastman instincts were heightened to their peak in response to my danger.
As for the other two skills, maybe she mastered them as an assassin, improving her combat style.
Honestly, I’m not sure about the specifics.
“Was the damage that prevented the monster from moving also thanks to ‘Weak Point Detection’?”
“No, I used this.”
When I asked, Lilina showed me a container with a liquid from her pocket.
Seeing the unfamiliar liquid, I tilted my head.
“What’s this?”
“It’s poison.”
“Huh? P-poison?!”
I was surprised by the unexpected revelation and widened my eyes.
Lilina, perhaps thinking she was being praised, wagged her silver tail excitedly.
“I have knowledge of medicine, so I mixed various things to create this poison! Am I amazing?”
“Y-yeah, that’s impressive. I certainly didn’t anticipate this.”
I stood there for a moment, staring at the poison Lilina was playfully shaking.
…There wasn’t any scene in the anime where Lilina used poison, was there?
True, Lilina has the knowledge to turn the medicinal herb ‘Potion Herb’ into a potion, so she does know about medicines.
But I never imagined that the heroine would be secretly concocting poison.
“Huh? It seems like I’ve learned a new skill. …’Poison Blade’?”
Then Lilina said, with a puzzled expression, something like that.
It seems Lilina is growing more and more even in ways I didn’t know about.
…She’s starting to really resemble a true assassin.
Faced with Lilina’s growth, I couldn’t help but think that.
