"Because her parents are long gone, Lily has to find a way to make a living; her only advantage is that she has some strength, but she is definitely no match for adventurers. In front of them, I am just an ordinary child who can't even kill a chicken."
For Lily Luca, who cannot become an adventurer, she can only live as a supporter.
These words immediately evoked sympathy from the girls.
However, Akeno Himejima still had some doubts.
"Dungeons are so dangerous, you shouldn't have chosen the Supporter profession. You should have found a safer job instead."
“Lily has thought about this too, but the members of the Soma Familia always cause trouble. In the past... the flower shop of the old man and woman who adopted Lily was destroyed by the Soma Familia. So I don’t want to cause trouble for others. Being a supporter is the best option.”
"Destroy the flower shop of the person who adopted you? Are those people from the Soma Familia you mentioned really your companions?"
"Lily doesn't understand why they all hate her, even though I haven't done anything..."
If she wasn't lying, then it could be said that Lilyluka's experience was extremely tragic.
This is what the girls are thinking.
Having lost her parents, she is harassed by her adoptive family and discriminated against in the dungeon. This is Lily Luca's current situation.
"Lily is useless and too ashamed to stay at the headquarters of the Soma Familia. She doesn't dare to talk to them either, so she's currently spending the night in various cheap hotels."
Lily Luca explained the current situation.
She kept going back and forth, seemingly searching for answers, turning to various places.
While searching for cheap hotels, they also tried to earn money through support work.
"I had a job today. Although the two adventurers promised to give me a fair share, I didn't even get a tenth of it, even though I spent six hours exploring the dungeon with them."
Thanks to this...
“Lily has no money left to stay in a hotel, so after seeing Lord Hyakuri, she wanted to see if there was a chance to become a supporter. Lord Hyakuri is now one of the highest-ranking and richest people in Orario, so she will definitely receive a good reward. Of course, the premise is that she can be hired by you.”
"You've run into way too much trouble..."
Tacheng Cat couldn't help but complain.
She thought for a moment, then took out the cat biscuits she had bought earlier.
The kitten handed the remaining portion to Lily Luca.
Have you ever had dinner? Would you like some?
"No, no need, miss, I'm not hungry."
Although Lily Luca verbally refused, the growling sound from her stomach exposed her lie.
"Give it to me."
"Okay, okay..."
After the kitten carefully stuffed the cookie into her mouth, Lily Luca had no choice but to eat it.
Himejima Akeno, who was not far away, did not sense any malice from Lily Luca, so she took out the water she was carrying and offered it to her.
"Just eating cookies won't do, you need to drink some water."
"Um... thank you."
"So their purpose is to follow us and see if there's an opportunity to be hired as support personnel?"
"Yes... Miss."
"I am Himejima Akeno."
After Himejima Akeno finished her self-introduction, the remaining girls also finished their self-introductions.
After being fed by everyone, the nervous Lily Luca calmed down considerably.
Bai Li, who was watching from the side, remembered that Lily Luca's background in the original work was very dark.
Because of the harsh environment of the Soma Familia and the contempt of other adventurers, she developed a twisted personality that distrusted others and had an extreme aversion to adventurers.
It seems quite likely that they are faking it now.
However, Baili did not say these things.
As a supporter, Lily Luca's behavior, while not twisted, was actually quite commendable.
Having her assist the girls by picking up modes and materials, and then helping them find their way, is quite a good idea.
"I have candy here too."
At that moment, Yotsuya Miko approached.
Seeing this, Yukino's earlier wariness vanished.
"It seems that the abnormal situation in this dungeon has nothing to do with you."
“Miss Yukinoshita, I don’t have the ability to influence the monsters in the dungeon. If I did, I wouldn’t be a supporter. Lily’s goal is the same as I just said: she wants a job… I wonder if there’s any chance…”
Lily Luca answered in an uneasy tone.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Mao and Jian Zi fixed their gazes on Bai Li, and the girls said in unison.
"Hire her!!"
"please!"
The loss of her parents, discrimination against her, and current unemployment that could lead to homelessness evoked sympathy from the young girls.
Baili did not refuse the request.
"I can hire you. The salary for one dungeon exploration is... 50,000 falies. What do you think?"
"This... so much?!" (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Lily Luca looked surprised when she heard the number.
However, this amount of money is only 0.05% of the rewards from Baili's first exploration of the dungeon, which is roughly equivalent to the money earned in one second.
Hiring Lily Luca once a second is not even an expense for Baili.
"So do you know where the most monsters are?"
When asked this question, Lily Luca nodded.
"I know, please follow me...!"
After eating and drinking her fill, Lily Luca perked up immediately when she heard that Baili was offering a high price to hire her.
She wasted no time and picked up her backpack, which was much larger than the others, again.
"Just ahead, there's a monster-hunting spot that many adventurers love."
The group exchanged glances, and after Baili took the first step, they resumed their actions.
Alas, alas, alas?
what's the situation?
Lily Luca, who was leading everyone to different monster-hunting locations on different floors, didn't know how to describe what she was seeing—
After passing the twelfth floor, the monsters no longer disappear.
Thus, the girls had the opportunity to fight.
The first thing you encounter is a huge cave inhabited by a group of ferocious, spider-like monsters.
Before anyone else could make a move, Himejima Akeno stepped forward.
Facing the spider monsters that were about to launch a swarm attack, Himejima Akeno clasped her hands together. In the instant that a strange power caused spatial fluctuations, a black lightning bolt descended from the sky, instantly piercing through the enemy's defenses!
The destructive power released by the Black Lightning Punishment was extremely terrifying. The monsters' bodies, along with the caves they hid in, were shattered and torn apart, leaving only their broken, hard shells and remains.
This power was so great that it would strike fear into the hearts of any enemy, and Lily Luca was the most surprised of them all.
However, this is only the beginning—
When they arrived at the new monster-hunting location, Tajo Kitten decided to show off her strength.
She collided with the steel beasts in front of her, but just before they made contact...!
The kitten leaped up lightly, condensing a strange flame in its hand that felt completely cold, and then suddenly swung it forward.
Strange flames, a mixture of demonic power, demonic energy, and the power of destiny, engulfed the enemy. The steel beasts had no chance to react and, like the previous monsters, were instantly melted! Defeat!
Soon, only the remains of the steel monster remained at the scene.
Strangely enough, Lily Luca didn't feel any heat when she walked over.
It was as if the flames had never existed!
Immediately afterwards——
Next, it was Miko Yotsuya's turn to team up with Yukino Yukinoshita.
Lilyluka saw a gigantic rock monster, encountered a python whose body shimmered with the light of diamonds, and met a gold-eating beast that devoured all the adventurers' armor.
These monsters have different appearances, but they all have one thing in common: they have very high defense.
Once dungeon adventurers see this, they will often choose to retreat.
Only high-level adventurers would choose to fight against it.
As a result, Yotsuya Miko and Yukino Yukinoshita, who were in Lily Luca's field of vision, showed no intention of backing down.
"Um... Mr. Baili, wouldn't it be better to be more cautious?"
"Just watch, Lilyluka." 107
The instant Baili finished speaking, all the high-defense monsters were instantly killed by Miko X-Nano's combo attack.
Faced with their abilities, all defenses become meaningless.
"The powerful monsters in the dungeon are no match for them..."
Lily Luca didn't know how to describe the situation before her.
Unlike ordinary explorations, the group fought their way through numerous floors in a very short time and arrived directly at the adventurer town of Rivera on the eighteenth floor, a safe floor.
"Sigh...we've already arrived at Rivera?"
Lily Luca still doesn't feel like it's real.
Where did you get this mess for yourself?!
