Athena was sitting on the dungeon floor catching her breath.
「Haa, haa…f-for now I defeated the ones who came Karen.」
Around her were a number of blue magic stones lying about.
These were the result of defeating the Lake Dungeon’s monsters.
「Fumu, you’ve beautifully taken care of a group of twenty. You allotted the correct amount of magic to each, used an appropriate amount of power, and lasted til the end. Wonderful Princess Athena.」
「Un, for strong power I was recalling Daichi-oniisan so I was able to do it somehow.」
Just remembering what she saw didn’t make her able to do it, but it was useful as a reference.
…….she knew the sensation of endless power flowing off of Daichi-oniisan if you touched him.
Thanks to that, she was able to accomplish this without difficulty.
Athena thought that she would need to thank him for the help when…
「Ok then, Princess…your training is over so please head back to the cottage first to rest.」
Karen said.
「Go on ahead? You’re not coming back?」
「No, I’m going to investigate the lake for a bit. I’ll be going around.」
「I see. Then I won’t hold back. I’ll see you later.」
「Yes, please do so.」
Karen said with a smile, but it quickly shifted into a serious gaze.
「——ah, but Princess Athena…you do know that there are still life signs around the area right?」
「There’s no problem. I know there are plenty of strong things in the water so I decided to teleport to the surface.」
Athena said and took out a teleport scroll from her bag.
‘……I’m not like Onee-sama, I can’t use teleport freely yet.’
That’s why she needed to use items like this.
It was expensive, but in comparison to safety it was negligible.
「But I’d really like to be able to use it like Onee-sama. This scroll makes too much light and sparkles.」
「Teleport requires a high level of skill and experience to use after all. You need to visit the location beforehand and sense the space and perceive the change in location. Dianeia who can use it freely is top level amongst humans in my eyes.」
Athena felt some pride well up in her at Karen’s words as she nodded.
「You’re right…….fufu I have to be more obstinate like Onee-sama. She’s aiming to reach Daichi-oniisan so I need to be firmer.」
「That’s the spirit…..ok then head on back. Be careful Princess.」
「Un, do your best Karen.」
Athena said and gripped the scroll.
「Ok~ I’ll head back, rest, and practice some more! —「Teleport Scroll Activate」」
The magic entered the scroll and activated as Athena wished.
Her body was enveloped with light and the next moment…
「——pwaahh, the teleport succeeded.」
Athena was floating on the water near the cottage.
「As expected, with a scroll you can’t move as precisely.」
If you wanted to move precisely, you’d have to do it yourself.
With those thoughts in mind she didn’t want to keep relying on scrolls.
「Ok. Once I get back I’ll practice.」
She modified her plans once more and began swimming towards the cottage.
At that time…
「—Huh? I feel some strange magic following me…..?」
She stretched her senses out and felt something.
…..what was it?
Maybe it was drawn to the magic of the teleport, she thought. She turned and looked.
「……..huh?」
There was huge group of the large white snakes she had just fought in the dungeon.
