The last one to left were two, no, three people?
"Eheehee~ Elisa Onee-chan and Fina Onee-chan are so cute!"
"Ugh, she's so adorable! Alright, I'm taking this kid ho with !"
"What are you saying, dear sister? Just dote on her like normal."
Lulu, our very own «Lolita Hero», was hugging the two with a completely slack-jawed expression, rubbing her cheeks against Elisa on her left and Fina on her right.
Elisa, heart thoroughly captured by Lulu, was utterly smitten.
Even Fina's usual cool deanor lted away, her cheeks flushed, and a small smile graced her lips as she stroked Lulu's head.
In fact, it was more like Lulu was being doted on.
What is this precious sight? Even Celia's hands havw stopped moving. Seriously, where's the screenshot option?!!
"You guys have really beco close, haven't you?"
"Hehe! Lulu and Onee-chans are super close!"
In my words, all three of them turned their gaze towards .
Oh no. It's too precious, it's blinding!
What a dilemma. I still needed Elisa and Fina to allocate their stats and get so practice in. Naturally, that ans they've to be separated from Lulu, and this precious sight would be gone.
Should I really do that? Is it really okay? I'm too scared to even look at Celia's face.
While I was wrestling with that internal conflict, Fina was suddenly right in front of .
"Then, teacher, please guide us."
"Huh!? But you two were as thick as thieves just a mont ago!"
"We're about to receive valuable teachings. There will be other opportunities with Lulu-chan."
"Yes! It's wrong to neglect other things just for doting! When it's ti to dote, dote. When there's work to be done, do it properly. That's the mark of a true enthusiast!"
"Lulu is saying sothing so mature!?"
Please stay the cute, adorable child forever, Lulu! Though she was the sa age as . I always keep forgetting that.
"So, while Elisa-chan is playing with Lulu-chan, I'll leave Fina-chan to you!"
"Onee-sama, you should practice too."
Fina's usual cool retort flew at her sister.
Elisa sure had a playful personality, didn't she? Sotis she even refers to herself with a "-chan".
Despite saying that, Elisa seed concerned about Fina and ended up staying. She was still hugging Lulu, so her words carried no weight, but it was clear she genuinely cared for Fina. Fina seed to feel the sa way.
"Alright then, I'll impart the training thods for «Archangel»."
"Please do, teacher."
With that, Fina bowed her head once, holding both hands forward, and then retrieved her «Holy Silver Heavenly Sword» and «Holy Silver Heavenly Shield» from her «Spatial Storage Bag».
They were advanced pieces of equipnt. A one-handed sword with Holy attribute and a great shield with Holy attribute resistance.
Both were drops from «Gold Chests» dropped by the rare boss «Iron Mountain Beast - Donkonga».
They were made of the sa Mithril as Reglam's «Mithril Sword», but these were stronger.
The equipnt ca from our guild, which I lend to Fina. They were required to fulfil the manifest condition of «Archangel». It appears she's still using them.
The shield was fashioned after heater shield design, and to be frank, it was barely that big, except just being slightly wider. But, in Fina's hand though, it certainly was no less than a great shield given her stature. It's about a size larger than my «Firmant Shield».
The holy shield had far better abilities than my «Firmant Shield». Of course, that's advanced grade equipnt for you.
If only it hadn't been a great shield, I could've used it too. But, a bumr. «Brave» was only compatible with small shields.
Anyway, to put it short, I felt it would be a waste to let set equipnt eat dust, and lend them to Fina.
To further amplify the defense, she was also equipped with a blue and white the armor.
She was a tank & healer. The last thing anyone would want would be for their tank to be knocked out. The best equipnt you could secure for them, the better. It's also why I had passed her advanced grade equipnt.
Visually, she looks magnificently divine, adorned in holy white robes with blue armor. I even had Marie-senpai use «Design Modification» to give her equipnt a close resemblance to an angel. Now, the current equipnt prioritized both aesthetics and performance. It's super strong, cute, and tough! And cool!
"«Archangel» is an all-rounder, capable of various things like offense, defense, healing, and buffs. Its main role is tank, but it can also switch to offense or healing. If you defend while self-healing, you can beco an incredibly tough tank—it's a powerful class."
"Yes!"
"There are various ways to train it, but my recomndation, incorporating Fina's requests, looks sothing like this."
I pulled out several notes and showed one of them to Fina as my recomnded training plan. This plan was remade for Fina. Indeed, even the strongest training manual was being modified every day.
It'd been half a year since I ca to this world. I've grown accustod to real-world combat tactics. Considering individual personality, this training plan incorporated those elents.
Of course, it's fine if she doesn't like it. I had four other plans ready.
"This is good."
"Huh? You haven't seen the others yet?"
"If the teacher is recomnding them, there's no doubt it's correct. The other mbers are the living example."
What resoluteness.
She truly looked quite dashing when saying that. As expected of a level-headed character. I'd an inkling she'll get along well with Sierra.
"You sure know how to pick words."
"Teacher, please use your thod, and make strong."
"Alright, leave it to !"
With that swift and decisive personality, she truly was born to be the tank... taphorically speaking. You wouldn't think from her stature after all.
However, indeed. The first plan was the training thod I believed would suit Fina best. I was honestly delighted that she trusted there.
"Alright, let's allocate so SP! Since it's a second-order tree, you wouldn't notice the unique traits much yet, but be sure to invest in the passive skills «Sword of the Archangel LV2,» «Shield of the Archangel LV2,» and «Robe of the Archangel LV2». These are foundational skills that will compensate for any stat deficiencies."
"Yes!"
"As a tank, taunting skills and defensive skills are absolutely essential. You also have to unlock the main healing magic and a unique skill!"
"Understood!"
The unique skill, «Archangel Incarnation» was a self-buff ability similar to my «Brave Heart». Except, the user would transform into the appearance of an Archangel when using it.
Once she learned it, I will definitely have her show it to later. ...No, wait a minute. Since it's a transformation, maybe she should try it sowhere without n first?
I was really dying to see the transformation in the flesh! I guess I'd wait for her to familiarise herself with the skill first.
It might not be a good idea to ask her to transform before the opposite gender when it's barely been a few days since she joined us.
Putting aside my dilemma under my guidance, Fina finished allocating her SP.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll practice a bit."
"Aren't you going to hug Lulu?"
"........."
At my words, Fina's gaze drifted towards Elisa and Lulu, who were still embracing. Elisa's mouth was curled into a smug smile. Fina gave her a half-lidded stare.
"...I'll wait until the big sis is finished to train. It would be a sha to leave Lulu-chan alone."
Ah, she caved.
"Oh bliy~, you really are stubborn to keep denying your heart~. Alright, Lulu-chan, now go hug Fina-chan."
"Roger~!"
"........."
Lulu stood up, separated from Elisa, and hugged Fina directly.
In an instant, Fina's cool expression softened.
And Elisa watched them with a smug grin. Fina noticed her.
"...Onee-sama, I don't think there's anything to stare at."
"Fina-chan and Lulu-chan are so cute, I just can't help myself."
"Just go. What are you doing making the teacher wait?"
Elisa had quite the personality.
Since Fina seed genuinely embarrassed, I reached under Elisa's arm and lifted her up to retrieve her.
"Co on, Elisa, over here."
"Oh-dear~!"
Acha! I accidentally picked her up like a child.
How should I put it, Elisa just gave the vibe that would have you unconsciously act in such a manner. Look, Elisa didn't seem to mind at all. In fact, she even looked like she's enjoying it.
Phew, I guess I was at least safe if she didn't frown.
After taking Elisa, I imdiately started teaching her.
"Elisa, you're a healer. And a special devil healer at that. I'll teach you magic and combat strategies, so absorb it well."
"You can count on . I'm pretty good at studying, you know."
The twins were placed in «New Class 3». While they don't stand out much because the other mbers were so exceptionally talented, they were quite capable academically.
«Nightmare» was unique. The job wasn't any regular healer; it also had abilities such as heal drain, damaging enemies while healing allies.
Of course, there were regular drain abilities that were useful, but the one it utilised, draining after putting an opponent into «Sleep» status, were exceptionally strong.
In particular, if the target was struck by «Sleep» debuff, Elisa could also drain the opponent's mana, minimising the requirent of potions. And this was followed by an even stronger skill, «Instant Death», which put the target to an eternal sleep.
Once the target was put into «Sleep», you could be assured that it was going to be certain death. Against regular mobs, the combo was simply---battle start -» imdiate area-wide sleep -» MP absorption -» (eternal sleep) instant death.
It was an endless loop.
Of course, this combo couldn't be used on bosses, so I also taught her boss-specific strategies.
Elisa listened intently, nodding along, and when I finished, her eyes sparkled.
"Amazing! What is that? It sounds so cool! I want to try it!"
It seed she liked it, so I presented the training theory and SP allocation guide, completing Elisa's second-order skill tree training.
With this, everyone's stat allocation was complete.
Now all that'd left was to practice.
Just as I was thinking that, the person I was waiting for arrived.
"Zephyr-san, sorry to keep you waiting."
"I've been waiting for you, Tabasa-senpai!"
It was Tabasa-senpai, one of the mbers who was supposed to join us later, as I ntioned earlier.
The main focus of this practice session was tanks and healers.
Thus, I sought Tabasa-senpai to join us. Among the entire guild, she undoubtedly had spent the longest ti as primary healer, she was also excellent at teaching, and beyond that, she already had the respect from other mbers.
With all parties gathered, and our new mbers gaining their foundation, I put our next agenda into action—Training. And training ans Dungeon Ti!
