Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Tsukasa stood before the tombstone and sighed in relief when he thought he had sacrificed his arm to save Line and the others.

Fortunately, his arm was no longer disabled since his arm had recovered, and his "Love" skill had been updated. It was a good thing, but he definitely didn't want to cut his arm again in the future.

Still, killing Filvis back then gave him a bad taste.

However, he shook his head and looked at the elf girl beside him.

"Everyone is waiting for you to go back."

Tsukasa said slowly, "Ais, Tiona, and everyone are worried about you."

"Sorry."

Lefiya nodded calmly.

"My selfish behavior has caused trouble for everyone, but I won't do that again from now on, and I will apologize to everyone."

"....."

"Why are you so weird?"

Tsukasa frowned.

Lefiya, who acted like an adult, made him feel unfamiliar.

The innocent smile on her face was gone, and her expression became more mature. After her best friend passed away, a huge change happened to her overnight, making her abandon her past innocence and forcing her to grow.

However, many people didn't want to have this kind of growth.

Still, whether this change was good or bad, no one knew for sure.

"I think it's normal. I just think that it's not good for me to act like before, especially when I have caused so many troubles."

Lefiya shook her head, and her body straightened up as if she was about to face a mission.

She was a Level 4 and might also become a Level 5 soon.

Still, in the Loki Familia, becoming a Level 4 meant becoming a second string group and becoming a candidate for the executives, which were trusted with a great mission and responsibility. however, she was still childish before and often caused a lot of trouble, but this time, she was different. She wouldn't make such a mistake again.

"I can't stay like how I used to be."

After Filvis passed away, Lefiya realized something.

If her Familia members died like Filvis due to her mistake, she would definitely suffer a similar feeling again.

Tsukasa understood.

Lefiya forced herself to change and didn't allow herself to bend for a moment.

*Slap!*

Tsukasa slapped the back of her head.

"Why?! Why did you hit me?!"

Lefiya was slapped and staggered. She came back to her senses and looked at Tsukasa with tears in her eyes.

He was strong, and he also didn't hold back before.

If he was a Level 1 like before, it might not be a problem, but his level was higher than her now!

It hurt!

"Good!"

"What do you mean?!"

Lefiya was annoyed.

"Seeing the old you back, I am happy."

Tsukasa nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't make fun of me!"

Lefiya puffed her cheeks, showing her unhappiness.

"Who is making fun of you? I am super serious, you know?"

Tsukasa rolled his eyes.

"Listen, Lefiya. If Familia members are killed or injured during the expedition, it should be the responsibility of the executives and not the responsibilities of the second string members who have not yet grown up. If someone is killed and we blame the second string member for it, this Familia will be finished sooner or later."

"...You're younger than me. Why are you the one who is teaching me?"

Tsukasa rolled his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.

He must admit that this elf sometimes said something annoying.

Lefiya hurriedly hugged her head with a cute expression on her face.

"You're saddened about what happened to Filvis. We all know what."

Lefiya's expression froze, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

"I don't know how important she is to you, and I can't say I understand how you feel about her."

Tsukasa looked at Lefiya and said, "But I hope that you have more than one friend. Everyone is here with you."

Companion, Familia members, and comrades.

Frankly, this is what he valued the most in his life besides being the strongest in the world.

"When you're sad because of the death of Filvis, everyone is also worried about you."

Tsukasa thought for a moment and said, "However, remember this. If you make everyone keep worrying about you, you won't become a qualified second-string member."

He was frank and told her the truth, but instead of getting angry, Lefiya was stunned.

She realized that she was the one who had always been protected. Ais, and the others, even Tsukasa, who was only Level 2 back then, had been protecting her.

If she kept making everyone worry about herself, what qualification did she have to become a member of the second string?

"...You're younger than me, but how did you know so much?"

"Age isn't the point. The most important thing is the experience."

Tsukasa rolled his eyes since, in terms of mental age, he was twice Lefiya's childish personality.

"Okay, you're better, right? Let's go back."

Watching her, who realized everything, Tsukasa also smiled.

"Today is the day when Dionysus is publicly executed. You should also witness the end of this evil god."

He turned around and was about to walk to the center of the city.

In response to the fierce demands of the adventurers who lost their companions and the ordinary people who lost their families, the guild finally decided to publicly execute the evil god Dionysus under the tower of Babel, so everyone could come and watch.

Even if the guild respected god "very" much had succumbed to the will of the public this time, and from the perspective to protect Orario, it could be set up as an example.

Of course, everything had permission from the god society and Uranus.

As he turned around, there was a sudden weight on his back.

Tsukasa was startled, and then he reacted.

"Sorry, this is the last time for me to be willful... but let me hug you for a moment."

Lefiya's dull voice sounded from behind.

Tsukasa didn't speak and acquiesced to her actions in silence.

'Sure enough, I can't forget him.'

Lefiya let out a long sigh in her heart.

She had decided to give up on him, but the more she gave up, the deeper she felt, and she always felt she wouldn't be able to do anything without him by her side.

On the contrary, because he was by her side, she had always been at ease.

"I am sorry, Ais-san, Riveria-sama..."

She had an unreasonable longing for Ais. It was so unreasonable that sometimes she could giggle when she thought she had formed a family with Ais.

However, these days, for some reason, she doesn't think about Ais and likes her how she used to be.

Instead, she started to keep thinking about this annoying guy.

She knew it was wrong since she knew he was Riveria's partner.

However...

"I really like you."

She said those words inside her heart.
