Chapter 168: Alps

“It seems… that an amazing granny has arrived.” (Fohl)

Fohl arrives carrying Atlas on his back.

Rafatalia and the others have a level cap of 100, but these two can reach 120.
It’s true that having technique can balance out having low stats, but having high stats never hurts.

“What are you talking about? You’re taking her lessons as well.” (Naofumi)
“Ge…” (Fohl)

Fohl has recently been preoccupied with tending to Atlas, and he’s been ignoring my orders.

I was able to tame Kiel with food, but it seems that won’t work on this one.
The younger sister Atlas’s condition has improved quite a bit, and it seems a full recovery may be possible.

“Naofumi-sama, it’s been a while.” (Atlas)

“And still we meet here and now. Naofumi-sama suddenly left, so I was feeling… anxious.” (Atlas)

Ah, so she was afraid that her medicine supply had disappeared.
If I don’t feed it to her personally, the effect decreases.

“Nununu…” (Fohl)

Fohl begins staring at me menacingly.
What’s he so bitter about?

“HM? Oy, little girl over there.” (Granny)

The Old Woman approaches Atlas.

Please choose one student at a time, or I will be understaffed.

“Laddy, why are you carrying that girl around?” (Granny)

She begins questioning Fohl.

Isn’t it obvious that Atlas is sick?

I’m quite skeptical when it comes to the elderly.
This trauma was probably brought about by Trash.

“Atlas can neither see nor walk!” (Fohl)

“D-don’t screw with me. Atlas can’t st-” (Fohl)

“… I got it.” (Fohl)

Fohl slowly lowers Atlas, and grasps her arms to steady her.

This may be a world of magic, but there are some wounds that won’t heal so easily.

“Naofumi-sama, if I may ask for your assistance.” (Atlas)
“Ah, got it.” (Naofumi)

She won’t be able to stand anyways. Someone with as weak a constitution as her won’t recover this fast.

This old woman’s standing right in front of us.
Perhaps the medicine will work.

“Hup…” (Atlas)

Atlas uses me and Fohl’s hands, and manages to stand.

“Wow… Is this what it means to stand on one’s own feet?” (Atlas)
“Ah… Atlas is… Atlas is standing!” (Fohl)

What sort of girl from the Alps are you? (TL: Heidi reference)

And I would have stuck to it to the end. Like with Taniko.

Atlas slowly starts walking while teetering from side to side. She smiles.

“Thank you, Naofumi-sama, Onii-sama.” (Atlas)

“Yes, Onii-sama.” (Atlas)

Her condition was horrible, but she has recovered to this extent.

It worked for the Old Woman and now Atlas.

“And so Naofumi-sama… what should we do from now?” (Atlas)

“Yes, Onii-sama has been diligently leveling with the others.” (Atlas)
“So what do you want to do?” (Naofumi)

Even if she can walk, I don’t think I can count on her for hard labor.
Atlas is also a Hakuko, so she can reach level 120.

“I also wish to learn how to fight.” (Atlas)
“Atlas! You don’t have to do that!” (Fohl)

Fohl of the Alps shouts out.
But of course he will prevent his sick sister from participating in battle.

“No… I’ve wished this since I was small. If I was ever able to walk, then I wouldn’t want to be the one who just got protected all the time. I want to protect you too.” (Atlas)
“B-but…” (Fohl)

Atlas’s strong will seems to have gotten through to Alps.

I’ll stick with Fohl for now.
Taniko? No idea.

“And so, Naofumi-sama, please let me fight as well… Please let me level up with everyone.” (Atlas)

“I’ll fight! Protecting Atlas is my duty.” (Fohl)
“No, I wasn’t asking about that…”

I explained the powers granted unto me by my shield’s growth correction abilities.

“And so if you want to truly become stronger, it will probably be best to reset your level. What will you do?” (Naofumi)

“With the Growth Corrections, Atlas may surpass you some day.” (Naofumi)

My words seem to have affected him.

“I want to win against Onii-sama.” (Atlas)
“Nu…” (Fohl)

Fohl hesitates and stares at Atlas’s face.
I guess it will be painful for him if his precious sister gets beat up on the battlefield. He seems to have come to a decision.

“… I got it. I’ll reset.” (Fohl)
“You seem to be discussing something interesting.” (Sadina)

Sadina suddenly appears.

“I wonder if I should do it as well.” (Sadina)
“Fumu…” (Naofumi)

I was going to the Dragon Hourglass anyways, so I don’t mind.

“We’ll be leaving immediately. Military Instructor, please help Rafatalia and Rishia.” (Naofumi)
“I understand.” (Granny)

Sadina is large, so we’ll have to couple a cart to the carriage… Oh, right.

“Are the Lemos here?” (Naofumi)
“What is it?” (Lemo)

The Lemos gather.

“Are you people raising your levels as well?” (Naofumi)
“Yes, most of us were already over level 30 when we got here.” (Imya’s Uncle)

Imya’s uncle begins explanations.

“I see, then anyone here who wants to learn blacksmithing, come with me.” (NAofumi)
“Blacksmithery? Then I’ll go.” (Imya’s Uncle)

Imya’s Uncle raises his hand.
What?

“I’ve already put the basics to heart.” (Imya’s Uncle)

“Understood.” (Imya’s Uncle)

“Everyone is quite skilled in that aspect.” (Imya’s Uncle)
“Got it.” (Naofumi)

It seems that at least that area will finish without a hitch.

“Where is Imya, anyways?” (Naofumi)

“I have no issues. Tell her that she can learn freely.” (Naofumi)
“Yes.” (Imya’s Uncle)

Imya’s developed an interest in making clothes.

It seems that the people of my village will finally be able to wear decent clothes soon.

“Oy, why are you wearing a loincloth?” (Naofumi)

Sadina appears wearing a loincloth. She’s also wearing a vest, but that doesn’t make her appearance any less strange.

It’s aesthetically terrible. It’s up to Imya to prevent this town from turning into one of loincloths.

“Personal tastes.” (Sadina)

Sadina offers a brief reply.

“I’m home~. Melty-chan was busy so she rejected me.” (Firo)

Firo comes back from the neighboring village at the right time. I call her over.

“Then what shall I do?” (Atlas)

Atlas, who we are leaving behind calls out.

Fohl is coming to the Castle Town with us to reset his level, but Atlas was level 1 from the beginning.

“Military Advisor, what do you think of this girl? Can we send her off to level in this state?” (Naofumi)

“Quit spouting crap! Treat her more carefully!” (Fohl)

Fohl snapped.

… Though I’m not one to speak.

“What’s wrong?” (Firo)

“Hm… is Atlas-chan strong?” (Firo)

“Try Punching Firo.” (Firo)

Firo tries to act as Atlas’s senior and presents herself for Atlas’s attack.

“Eh? Ah… Sure.” (Atlas)

Atlas closes her fist, and hits it against Firo’s chest.

The next moment leaves me speechless.

“AKYAAAAAAAAAA!” (Firo)

Firo does a somersault and falls flat on the ground.

“I-it’s the real deal. Atlas-chan’s punch really hurt. Master, please heal me…” (Firo)

With teary eyes, Firo stares at me.
Is she acting? That was a terrible performance.

“I just slightly disrupted the flow of the massive power within Firo… did it hurt that much?” (Atlas)

“I’m sorry.” (Atlas)

“Stop it with the jokes, monster girl! Stop trying to send my sister into battle!” (Fohl)

“Ah, yes.” (Atlas)

On Firo’s order Atlas smacks her fist into her brother’s chest.
Fohl makes no attempt to block, and takes the attack head on.

“KAHA…” (Fohl)

He lets out a loud sound and falls to his knees.
He seems to be tearing up.

“I-I didn’t feel… anything so… Please stay… home.” (Fohl)
“You’re obviously pushing it…” (Naofumi)

This is actually quite amazing.

Is she able to sense something else because she can’t see?

If she grows from here, she may turn out to be amazing. As expected of the Hakuko race.

The Old Woman should get to work on her immediately.

“Well, just go level in a way that doesn’t put yourself in too much danger. We’re off to go Level Reset.” (Naofumi)

“”I-I still don’t approve of you making Atlas fight. (Fohl)

“B-but…” (Fohl)

“Yeah!” (Firo)

Firo grabs the resisting Fohl. The other slaves prepare for the harsh trip.

“Level up the dragon chick with you. Now then, we’re off.” (Naofumi)

“Yeah, I’ll be back soon.” (Naofumi)

Rafatalia’s always seems to be seeing me off, but I’ve never had the opportunity of seeing her off.

And so I took the slaves that wanted to level reset, and those that wanted to learn from the old man to the Castle Town.
