Chapter 99: SEED OF POSSIBILITY 4 LUDI

Chapter 99: SEED OF POSSIBILITY 4 LUDI

“What’s wrong? It’s already late you know.”

“Well, a little.”

Urged to sit by Ludi, I sit down on the green sofa.

Ludi’s room is mostly covered in her favorite green color from her curtains, sofa to her futon.

She was probably relaxing in her room, Ludi put a bookmark in the book she was reading and put it on the side. Although it is a simple design, her frilled white negligee is somewhat strangely beautiful and sexy at the same time.

“I have something I want to give you.”

“To me?”

“Yeah, to you.”

I took out three golden seeds from the bag in my hand.

“What is this?”

“Umm, it’s a delicious snack.......sorry.”

Even though I said it myself, I think it is still impossible for me. Ludi probably thinks so too because she keeps staring me down.

“......It’s not a snack right?”

“It’s not.”

“So, what is it?”

She pinches one of the seeds up and takes a small breath.

“It is called the seed of possibility.....”

Looking at the seed that is reflecting off the light, Ludi jumped in surprise, her reaction almost surprises me as well. She gently places the seed on the table like a newborn baby with her eyes still wide open.

“Wait, what are you making me hold!?”

“No, I didn’t make you though.....”

I’m sure you picked that up on your own.

“Is it real? It might be a fake right?”

“If it can make Nanami and Marino-san stop joking and take it seriously then I think it has some credibility.”

Ludi’s eyes turn even more severe.

When I tried to continue the conversation, she stopped me with her hand.

“.....wait a minute. Let me calm down a little.”

Saying so, Ludi shut her eyes and takes a deep breath. She moves the book that she placed on the side of her chair away with her eyes still closed and correct her sitting posture. Her every move somehow possessed elegance, it reminds me that she really came from high society.

Ludi slowly opens her eyes.

“Okay, please continue.”

“I want you to have it Ludi.”

“Eh?”

Her eyes opened wide in surprise.

“Wait a minute! Kousuke is not going to sell it or using it on yourself but giving it to me !?”

I can hear the words [[What are you thinking? Are you an idiot!?]] coming from her expression.

“I already used it on myself. I actually got five of them you see so I thought about giving the rest to the people who took care of me.”

“Wait, my brain can’t catch up.”

“I want you to have it Ludi.”

I repeated the same words to her again.

“Please. Wait. How can I accept such a thing ! ? Do you know how much one of this worth? In the first place, a person who has always been on the receiving side like me couldn’t possibly receive something invaluable like this.”

“But, you have also given me something invaluable too, Ludi. It was something invaluable to the extent that I will never be able to pay you back as well......”

“.........I have?”

“Yes. Moreover, it was really useful...... No, it is embarrassing to say it to your face like this but the fortieth floor was really difficult you know.....”

“Of course it is! Yukine-san also said that normally something like that would be impossible to achieve you know.”

She said it like I’m not normal but well, I really am not huh.

We~ll.....in fact, when I think about it that place was really harsh huh.... If I didn’t get that strange powerup from the amulets then I would have to give up halfway through the 30s floors after all. They are the important treasures that supported me in my time of need.

With that said, I took out Ludi’s misshapen amulet.

Then I dangling it in front of Ludi to show her.

“Wa, Wait.....a minute. Wait wait. Wh-What are you saying? Just put it back. It’s super embarrassing.”

Ludi rushes in and tried to take the amulet from me. However, I have no intention to hand over my treasure. I immediately put it out of Ludi’s reach and show it to her once again.

“You know, I am quite embarrassed myself too.”

“You idiot. If you are embarrassed then put it away already. In the first place, there’s no value in something like that! I got the materials from Yukine-san as well. It doesn’t even worth the price of expensive ramen you know!”

“Well, that’s true. Certainly, its monetary value might be cheap but......that’s not the way you decide the value of something like this right? That’s why this amulet is much more important to me than this seed.”

Her face turned completely red. But I think the same goes for me as well.

“So, it’s my bad that I can only repay you with a seed like this but, can you receive it?”

“A seed like this huh, you really are..........I can’t even repay you for the ring yet.”

The red face Ludi is still reluctant to receive the seed.”

“Hey, Ludi?”

“What?”

“I said this before I went into the Academy dungeon right?”

“Said what?”

“That I want you to together with me from now on. So you know......without any question, can you listen to my story until the end?”

“Now you are making me uneasy about what you are going to say. It’s fine, go on.”

“You know, one of my goals is to capture the Academy dungeon in its entirety right?”

Ludi nodded without saying anything.

“I thought about what would be necessary for me to achieve that and I think that is everyone’s cooperation.”

Trap detection, vanguard, long-distance attack, support magics, and recovery magics are a matter of course. However, it is not just that. I need something to help me mentally too.

“That’s why, I am sorry but if possible, I want Ludi to always be together with me.”

“Don’t– apologize. I will always–be with you.”

“Thanks. Well, please listen to me a little more. You see, Ludi is certainly strong even without the seed and I think you will become even more powerful from now on.”

When I saw Ludi keep getting stronger, I think that this will definitely be the case. If we are doing a mock battle together, I have no intention to lose though.

“But you see, I think that if we are going to capture the dungeon together anyway, I think that it would be better if everyone can get stronger even a little bit more. That also applied to Sempai and Nanami too of course.”

The effect of the seed of possibility on Ludi is not just the removal of her abilities value limits. She will also get the aptitudes to use recovery and support magics, more magics will be available to her as well.

There’s no doubt that she will become much stronger.

“If I put it like this it will become our give-and-take right? And, the most important thing is....”

“Most important?”

“.......I want to grasp on to the possibilities with Ludi and become stronger together. I want you to go to the deepest part of the dungeon with me.”

“....stupid, I get that already.”

Saying so, she picked up the seed and look at me.

“It is not to Kousuke’s level but I also want to become stronger. More importantly.”

I thought that some sort of magic was cast on me.

Ludi narrowed her eyes a little and give me a beautiful gentle smile.

However, she is full of mysterious charms that can even make Narcissus who received a curse that made him can only love nothing but himself, fall in love with her.

“I want to see it together with you.”

Ludi swallowed the seed.

My heart couldn’t beat faster than this. But for some reason, I am getting embarrassed. I can only pretend like nothing is wrong and say “I will be in your care from now on.”

Ludi must be embarrassed too, she avoids my eyes and turned away with a red face.

As I hide my turmoiled heart by feigning my calmness, I look at Ludi who is casting her gaze downward. Then suddenly a thought occurs to me.

“.......Ludi.”

“.....What?”

“Let’s go eat ramen this weekend. The place in front of the train station.”

“.........Fine, it’s your treat okay, Kousuke?”

“And you know, can you give me a massage after tomorrow’s training. For free of course. Since I will treat you to ramen later, it’s okay right?”

“Fu fun, my massage huh.”

She said that she is confident with her skill and look at me while making a cheerful smile.

“I don’t mind doing that for you but that is that and this is this so you must buy me cup ramen too.”

Just how much do you love ramen, or so I retorted. Seeing that, Ludi laughed. After that, we laugh together for a while.
