Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

“Bell, you’ve had two near-death experiences in the dungeon before. I think that’s because you’re a member of the junior clan and didn’t have any senior members to teach you dungeon adventure experience.”

"Twice I lost my life..." Bell broke out in a cold sweat, his face instantly turning bright red.

I've had far more than two near-death experiences in the dungeons; I'd say four or five...

The first time was when he encountered the Minotaur. The second time was after the tavern when he ran into the dungeon without wearing any armor and even rushed all the way to the sixth floor, where he happened to run into the War Shadow spawn. He almost died in that battle. The third time was when he obtained magic and excitedly used it in the dungeon until his mental energy was exhausted, and he collapsed in the dungeon. The fourth time was when he encountered the swarm of killer ants while rescuing Lily.

There were a few more times that I'm not sure if they count.

This includes experiences like nearly being wiped out when I was still very weak, encountering large groups of goblins, and several times when my consciousness was temporarily disconnected while eating the bento boxes given to me by Hill in dungeons, only to reconnect later...

..........

If you calculate it this way, four or five times doesn't seem quite right, hahaha.

He chuckled inwardly and scratched his head.

At this moment, Lily and Hill's expressions also turned serious. This was the first time they had ever heard of something like this, where Bell had already faced death several times.

Well, it's not like this is the first time I've heard of it, since some of these things are closely related to the two of them.

For example, the killer ant incident, or the killer bento incident, etc.

Let's hear what that blond guy has to say.

The little people and the street girl reached an agreement with a glance.

Ais herself completely ignored the secret exchange between the two. She stared intently at Bell and then said very seriously, "Do you want to learn adventure experience from me? I can teach you, and I can also give you guidance in combat... um, guidance."

Thinking this, Ais glanced slightly at Lieyan, who was happily eating melon seeds nearby.

thinking in mind.

The training with Lieyan could be considered guidance... Since Lieyan became stronger as a result, then it must have been guidance.

That's right.

That's it.

That is guidance.

Ais confidently persuaded the little Ais in her heart to shut up the little Ais who had raised the flag of rebellion and shouted that it was definitely not the little Ais who was in charge.

"Of course! Of course I'm willing!" Bell was overjoyed and readily agreed. "I'm completely self-taught in combat; I'm a complete novice and often do strange things, almost getting killed by monsters. I know I need to become stronger, but I'm just utterly useless. If Miss Ais were willing to teach me, that would be wonderful!!"

Bell was so excited he was almost incoherent, his face flushed, and words burst from his mouth like a machine gun.

The boy's enthusiastic reaction made the one who had brought up the idea feel somewhat lost and apprehensive. She struggled to resist the urge to look to the flames for help, and tried to regulate her breathing.

Sensing this pathetic side of her, the little Ais inside her wanted nothing more than to jump out of her body and give this cowardly Ais a good punch.

Just then, Mia's voice came, completely relieving the awkward atmosphere on Ais's side.

"The food is ready, get ready, Flame Boy. Oh? White Hair Boy is here today too. Wait a moment, the food will be brought to you shortly." Mia's cheerful voice rang out, and then a huge mountain of food appeared before him.

"Please enjoy this. It's made with premium rice from the Demeter Familia, cooked in the fine spring water of the Water City, and served with a stew of premium beef and thunderstorm potatoes with twenty-three layers of broth."

Mia casually placed the same side dishes in front of Ais and Belle Lily, but in much smaller quantities.

Lie Yan glanced at the few stunned people around him and couldn't help but shake his head.

So what if the portion of food was a little bigger? What's the big deal? Am I not allowed to eat more just because I'm tall?

"Let's eat first. Although it may seem presumptuous of me to presume to do this, let me teach you this first lesson."

"It's hard to say when an accident might happen when you're on an adventure, so you have to be mentally prepared for things other than adventures."

Flame lowered his eyes, thinking of the cat food on the New World, where every meal was prepared to the standard of the last.

"The most important thing to do to stay safe and sound is to eat on time."

"Come on, do it!"

Chapter 131:

The afternoon sun slanted down on the towering buildings that formed a circle, and huge banners fluttered and slowly rolled in the breeze, revealing the dark emblem of the Clown Clan.

Beneath this fluttering banner, in the office belonging to the clan leader, Flame and Ais, who had just returned from the guild, recounted in detail to Finn, who was listening intently, what they had encountered in the dungeon and their speculations.

"That's roughly how things are. I've already reported to the guild with Ais, and I expect we'll receive some requests soon."

"Yes, you did a great job. I will contact the guild about the next steps. Thank you for your hard work, go and get some rest."

After a brief exchange, the office door opened again, and two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from it—it was Flame and Ais.

"Finally all done... I need to get some rest now."

Lieyan shook his stiff neck, looking slightly tired, feeling that the experience of this afternoon had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

have to say.

Having grown accustomed to the high efficiency of the Monster Hunter World guild, the tedious and lengthy process of the DanMachi World guild delivered a heavy blow that was hard for him to accept.

Before actually giving the report, he had no idea that reporting to the guild would be such a troublesome thing.

What should have been a simple matter of a few words ended up going up the chain of command, first to Eina, then to Eina's staff leader, and finally to the guild master.

A whole hour was wasted on so-called procedures, with the same thing being repeated several times. And this was only because he was a member of the Loki Familia and had Sword Maiden traveling with him, so he was given the green light all the way.

It's just outrageous.

It was only then that Lieyan understood why the old god behind the guild, despite not intending to develop his own followers, still used Fels to raise a private army of heretics in the dungeon.

Unfortunately, the guild's information dissemination efficiency is simply too low. Not only does it retain traditional or outdated methods, but the guild's upper echelons also exhibit arrogance, frequently treating important information as useless and delaying or ignoring it altogether. Relying on the guild's channels as your eyes and ears is practically tantamount to gouging out your own eyes...

".........Um"

On the other side, Ais also showed the same mental fatigue. Her pretty face was furrowed with brows, and she nodded slowly as if still shaken. Clearly, she, like Lieyan, had suffered mentally from the process.

For reasons that everyone understands, she has basically never personally gone to the guild to report anything.

The important matters of the clan are handled by Finn and Riveria, while the minor matters are handled by Raul and Angie's middle-level officers. Reporting is not something she needs to deal with, so this operation has had a particularly strong impact on her.

"Forget about these unpleasant things," Lieyan changed the subject. "What are your plans for what happened today?"

What Flame was referring to was that, while the bountiful hostess was dining, Ais personally invited Bell to teach him about adventurer experience and combat methods.

After Flame won his eighth bet with Mia, securing a free meal and causing Hill to lose another commission, Flame and Ais, still with matters to attend to, didn't linger at the bountiful hostess's house and headed straight for the guild headquarters, the Pantheon.

Before leaving, thinking that she didn't have a concrete plan for her promise, Ais discussed it with Bell and decided to meet him on one of the walls of Orario the next morning, where she would tell him about the training plan.

“…I’m prepared to train like I did with you, Flame.” Ais pondered for a moment before giving her answer.

Lie Yan gasped, his face filled with disbelief.

"The same standards I was trained on? Are you serious?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course not!"

Ais tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her clear eyes.

Her previous training with Lieyan was very effective; the attribute growth she gained after training was even higher than when she went on adventures. So why didn't it work for Bell?

"Because people die..."

Lieyan couldn't help but cover his forehead and sigh, feeling that his daughter seemed to have some misunderstandings about common sense.

His training was built on various conditions, and the most important prerequisite was that he had to be strong enough to defeat a series of monsters with his bare hands before receiving any favors. If it were any other LV1, even someone like Bell, they would probably be ready to eat on their first day.

"But what about you, Blazing Flame?"

"I'm different... Besides me, have you ever seen anyone else who could kill a dragon without any favors?"

"........."

Flame rolled her eyes and complained, while Ais opened her mouth as if to refute, but couldn't bring herself to say the answer.

She had indeed witnessed the ability to kill a dragon without any favors, but that was not in reality, but in a dream. In her dream, a man named Albert used his weapon to kill countless powerful monsters.

But she couldn't say it. On one hand, she saw it in her dream and it couldn't be considered evidence. On the other hand, her background was kept secret within the Loki Familia. Only the three leaders of the Familia and Loki himself knew her true identity.

"Then what should we do?" Ais asked blankly, her eyes glazed over. "If we can't use the same method as with Lieyan, then what should we do?"

"In short, let's reduce the intensity for now. My body is strong, and I have heavy armor and my hunting horn, so you can go all out during training. Bell, on the other hand, doesn't have that advantage for now, so we can only try to suppress our strength with you."

Flame squinted and glanced at the sky outside.

He meant that the conditions are not available at the moment, and I think everyone understands what he means.

That's right.

Besides Finn's plan, Bell was also someone Flame wanted to recruit as a laborer. After all, with such a big protagonist hanging around, how could they not want to bring him over to shine?

However, for now, the idea can only remain an idea. Although Flame really wanted to bring Bell over to take a look, he wasn't planning to bring Bell into the group until Finn's plan was fully completed.

However, other care arrangements still need to be made. For example, melodies that can significantly improve training efficiency, such as those for faking out, as well as melodies for defense and recovery, should also be included.

Huh? You're saying this is persecution?

Ha, how could it be persecution? He and Bell are half-brothers, they are close, loving and respectful to each other!

These are all experiences, you know what experiences are.

I'm not some kind of demon~~

This is all for Bell's future!

"That makes sense." After thinking for a moment, Ais nodded slightly and then silently made a note of it.

“Ais, you’re not very good at teaching. And Bell is a complete self-taught person, so let’s not think about how to teach him. Let’s just get straight to the practical part and let Bell learn through his body.”

"Ok!"

Ais nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling. It was just about hitting someone, something she was very familiar with, more than anyone else.

A white-haired boy, clutching his stomach in pain, was walking home in the western district when a sudden chill ran down his back.

"Okay, that's about it. There's not much else to say. Whether it's adventurer experience or combat style, it ultimately depends on Bell's own understanding to reach a level of mastery."

Lieyan finished speaking with a smile, and Ais nodded vigorously with a look of having learned something, following closely behind Lieyan, looking forward to tomorrow.
