Chapter 264.5 How to become a God of Lightning?
Part 2
So you will just keep on going, huh, Luke Onii-sama! But I am sorry, but I plan to ask Master~ to give me my Alias…… And yes, I would be more than happy if I could get one or two words from Master’s~ own Alias.
I swallow these thoughts, which I have yet to share with anyone, and think of ways to somehow avoid getting involved in this.
“………… But…… The thing is…… If you want to train, wouldn’t it be better to train with Onee-sama? I am ashamed to say this, but I am still lacking experience.” (Tino)
“Liz is already fast enough! If we train together, you’ll never be able to catch up! This is a training I thought of, so I should be the first one to do it! Listen. This is top-secret training. We’ll reveal the story after simulating once. Liz’ll owe me this.” (Luke)
It’s not good, this man…… Is Onee-sama’s childhood friend. At this rate, I will end up scorched black.
Master~ has imprinted a little bit of the word “hold back” in Onee-sama’s dictionary, but I don’t think there is anything like that in Luke Onii-sama’s dictionary.
As Tino desperately searched for a way out, Luke Onii-sama clenched his fist tightly and said.
“Let’s both become a “God of Lightning (Raijin)” and show off to Cry! Tino, you should store lightning in your body. I’ll train so I can gather lightning in my sword. If we teach each other after we have mastered it, we can double our learning speed! Liz seems to be able to create her speed by controlling her body, but it is obvious that lightning energy is stronger than heat energy created by controlling her heart! It’s okay, I understand Tino’s concerns. You think it’s meaningless if you can’t use it without lightning, right? But even eels can generate electricity, we just need to generate it from inside us! And if you want you can learn Magic, or you can spin your hand around and around and do something like a hand-cranked generator. If you ask Sytry, I’m sure she’ll create some tools for you! The possibilities are endless! Also, it is so damn cool!” (Luke)
I have no idea what you are talking about.
My eyes were spinning, I was sweating cold sweat, and my heart was beating wildly.
I ruminated over the words I barely heard in my confusion.
“Show off…… I’ll show off to Master~? I’ll show it off?” (Tino)
A level 8 Hunter who quickly rose to glory. Did Tino ever have anything to show off to such a person?
Master~ is strong. He is strong, kind, smart beyond Tino’s imagination, charismatic, and has a long list of accomplishments to his credit. The only thing Tino has over him is the amount of debt.
“That’s right! We’ll show it off. And we’ll tell the world that we are the “God of Lightning (Raijin)”! We’ll be――”Gods of Lightning (Raijin)”! And Tino will also be clear to go to Treasure Shrines with us! That’s right………… With one more person, attacks will be more spread out, so we can go to even more intense Treasure Shrines!” (Luke)
“Master and I, together, in a Treasure Shrine……” (Tino)
That is an excellent idea. Of course, this assumes that Tino is capable of keeping up with the Treasure Shrines that Master~ is conquering, but if we can conquer Treasure Shrines together, it will be a wonderful experience and it will become a wonderful memory. Besides, there will be a bond that will be deepened by going through deadly places together.
This is Tino’s dream, which has not disappeared even though I have been beaten down by so many trials and have been disciplined by Onee-sama.
“That’s right! And if Tino learns swordsmanship, she’ll be the best! Because Liz doesn’t use a sword! I bet there is no swordsman who has ever slain a lightning-fast Thief who has mastered the sword! And of course, Tino is the only Thief who can move at lightning speed and use a sword! Cry will be impressed too! He’ll shower you with high praise!” (Luke)
“!! That Master~ will…… Shower me with high praise!?” (Tino)
That’s………… Completely unimaginable. That Master~, who has smashed his enemies, Clan Members, and Tino to the bottom, regardless of who he is dealing with and wherever he is, will praise me unreservedly――.
That, Master~ who has a habit of saying “The trial hasn’t started yet (Liberal translation)”, will praise me?
Maybe he will hug me and pat my head and go on a date with me…… I can get those things?
“With a little training, not only can you become the “God of Lightning (Raijin)”, you will also surprise Cry. Tino, are you up for it?” (Luke)
“Uh…… I………… I’ll do it!” (Tino)
“All right, then let’s get Lucia to shoot out lightning as soon as possible――” (Luke)
Hearing those words, Tino came back to her senses just barely in time.
Lucia…… Lucia Onee-sama!? If Lucia Onee-sama, who is known as one of the best Magi in the capital, were to use lightning magic on me――The current me might turn into charcoal, don’t you think?
The amount of excitement in his words is too high. Is his passion enhanced by Mana Material? It is frightening in a different sense than Sytry Onee-sama who is rational and who does not allow counterarguments.
I take a deep breath and calm my mind. My head cooled down and my composure returned.
Or rather, in the first place, isn’t Master~ the “God of Lightning (Raijin)”?
That man, Kryhi Andrichhi, seems to be the type of person to make a lot of assumptions, so isn’t it some kind of mistake?
Also Luke Onii-sama, electric eels are not actual eels.
And by the way, Tino isn’t an eel, and of course, isn’t an electric eel either.
That’s when Lucia Onee-sama entered the room. With a sullen and grumpy expression, she holds a familiar staff in her hand.
Maybe because she hears Tino’s conversation from outside the room, the first thing she does is to clear things up.
“I will never cast it, alright? ………… And if I did it anyway, it would just fall on Nii-san or Anthem-san. Seriously, you are so easily influenced――” (Lucia)
.
“It’s alright, I’ll hold hands with Cry and Anthem.” (Lucia)
Well, that’s a nice idea. But be that as it may, I think Luke Onii-sama should stop saying weird things with such a serious expression.
“What happened for you to have that staff?” (Tino)
Lucia Onee-sama was holding a staff. It was the staff that Kryhi Andrichhi used.
In response to Tino’s question, Lucia Onee-sama sighs heavily and says in a melancholy voice.
“Nii-san――Leader pushed it to me. I told him I didn’t want it, but he told me “I don’t need it. Lucia should keep it as she isn’t good at controlling lightning――”.” (Lucia)
“………… Eh……?” (Tino)
『I』 don’t need it? 『Lucia』 is not good at controlling lightning?
……………… Don’t tell me Master~…… You are the “God of Lightning (Raijin)”?
“It is not my control that is bad! I can’t hit because! Nii-san! Is the one who attracts it! Moooh!” (Lucia)
“Ahhhh, I wonder if there is a trick to attracting lightning. I can still understand Anthem’s case since he is big…… I should ask Cry about that.” (Luke)
“Every time you ask me why I can’t use Lightning Magic, do you know how troubled I get! Nii-san, do you know! Nii-san!! It is not that I can’t use it! I can use it! I can use it, but it will fall on you, Nii-san, so I don’t use it! I don’t like it! Do you know how hard Syt had to work to make a lightning-inducing drug as a countermeasure for that! Do you even know! Do you! Do you!?Don’t be shocked at every little thing! I am the one who is shocked!” (Lucia)
………………… Yosh, for the time being, Master~ is God.
When I declared that in my heart like I was reminding myself of that fact, I quietly left the room before getting caught up by Lucia Onee-sama, who was taking it out on a stuffed animal, and Luke Onii-sama.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
And here’s the last chapter of this arc!

Don’t worry it’s a training Cry thought of, you won’t die. It will just hurt to the point you feel like you are dying!
