Super Evolution!
From slight, steady gains to complete stagnation.
Not just Ais herself, but almost everyone believed the girl had reached her limit.
It was impossible for her to ascend further.
Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses, even a genius like Ais.
In their plans, once Ais could raise her Magic status to S, she could start working on a Great Deed to advance to Level 6.
But at this critical juncture, and against everyone's expectation, this stubborn girl had managed to squeeze out her talent, moving a step forward on a path that had seemingly reached its end!
No, it wasn't a simple step, but a leap!
An average increase of sixty points, directly spanning over half a class.
Not only did her Strength and Endurance rise to C-rank, but her Magic also broke through to the middle of S-rank.
Even her Agility and Dexterity, which didn't rank up, were now infinitely close to the S-rank mark!
An advancement this significant in one go was extremely rare, even in Ais's previous experience.
And an abrupt self-breakthrough after such a long period of stagnation—not just her, but even the Three Elders and the Head Goddess Loki herself had never heard of it!
Talent has limits; this was an iron rule.
Ais's previous Level Ups were only achieved with a single S-rank status.
This time, after a long accumulation, was she finally on the verge of a big boom, achieving an unprecedented Triple-S?
After receiving permission from their Head Goddess, the Three Elders passed around Ais's status.
Predictably, their shock was far greater than their joy and blessing.
This was too abnormal.
During the expedition, Ais, as the vanguard, had engaged in fierce battles.
But those battles were no different in essence from what she had experienced in the past.
In fact, due to the group effort, the intensity was even slightly lower than her solo training.
The few times she was injured were only minor injuries from charging too far ahead while fighting a boss.
Ais was still in full health until they set up camp and rested on the 50th floor.
How could such battles cause her to improve so much?
...A little thought was all it took.
The only battle during the expedition when she was out of everyone's sight.
The reason must lie there!
"Just who in the world is that guy?" Gareth's beard was trembling.
Finn's thumb faintly ached, and Riveria's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
As for Ais, a strong desire surged in her eyes!
It must be him! That man!
He did that because he knew I could gain further strength from that trial!
It must be!
The fact that he increased the intensity of the flames midway, the relieved smile on his face when I successfully broke through in front of him, and that final gesture of care—all proved his deeper meaning...
Krrrch!
The girl clenched her fists tightly.
I must see him; I must see him!
Because only he can give me the strength I crave!
It's the strength that cannot be obtained within the party, the Familia, or the care of countless people.
It can only be acquired in a full-power fight with that man!
"Finn, I request to join the investigation team for the Firebreather."
Her tone was solemn, and her expression was determined, which was deeply moving.
"Please!"
The high-ranking members, including the Head Goddess, exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.
"Promise me, Ais."
Riveria reached out and stroked the girl's cheek: "Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
Her hand was soft and warm. Following the mood, Ais could only nod.
But in her heart, she already had a clear plan.
If one doesn't throw oneself into hell,
It's absolutely impossible to obtain the power to transcend it!
...
On the other side.
The Pleasure Quarter, the Far East Inn.
"Hey, hey, do you really know what you're doing?"
Aisha's eyes were frosty as she coldly stared at the frivolous Eugene in front of her.
"Of course!" Eugene wore a smile he believed to be sincere but was, in fact, incredibly lewd.
"This is the Pleasure Quarter, the domain of the Goddess of Desire."
"A single man like me and a beautiful woman like Miss Aisha gathering together."
"Naturally, we're here to chat about romance and pleasure~"
He boldly cornered Aisha against the wall. His open shirt revealed his bronze, muscular physique.
The invasive aura made Aisha, an old hand with men, feel a thrill.
To an Amazon, this guy was irresistible in every way.
However...
Aisha looked back at the lights of the Far East Inn.
Haruhime was still waiting anxiously for her lover there.
And she was about to steal Haruhime's man, whom she regarded as a younger sister, in such close proximity?
Gulp! She forcibly swallowed, turning her face away.
"Get lost."
"Isn't Lena enough for you to squander your time on?"
"You can ask her~" Eugene chuckled mischievously: "Whenever she manages to get out of bed."
Just as the atmosphere between the two grew more ambiguous, a soft, sweet voice appeared by their ear.
"Aisha-nee-san? Master?"
"Why aren't you going inside?"
It was Haruhime!
She stood prettily by the side, holding a string of paper lanterns. Her emerald eyes would usually light up beautifully when she saw a close friend or a loved one...
But when a close friend and a loved one appeared together, it was a bit odd.
"Ah, that! Haruhime! It's not what you think!" Aisha hastily explained.
"Miss Aisha and I were discussing something." Eugene's expression didn't change. He wrapped a big hand around the curvy woman next to him: "Something very important~"
What the hell are you doing, you bastard!!
Aisha felt a jolt run through her body. This scum dared to flirt even with Haruhime present?
"Oh..."
Haruhime blinked, looking like she half-understood.
In this regard, she was like a long-licensed female driver who had never driven a car.
"Let's go inside to talk!" She innocently didn't overthink it.
But Aisha's face was flushed red!
She looked at the warm light. That place should have been a safe haven for Haruhime and Eugene.
But now she was going to get involved, too?
No, absolutely not!
The Amazon suppressed the fiery urge.
If they went there, it absolutely couldn't happen!
She glared fiercely at Eugene, signaling for the guy to stop testing the limits.
However, how could this super pervert be moved?
The hard, dark-skinned beauty of the carnivore type was now showing a struggling and embarrassed expression.
Such a rare sight—how could Eugene miss it?
"Stop..." She realized she couldn't overpower Eugene at all.
In terms of both mentality and strength, the once powerful and beautiful black panther was now just a kitten.
"She means we shouldn't waste time dawdling."
Eugene wrapped one arm around Aisha and didn't forget to hold Haruhime's small hand with the other, making the young girl both sweet and shy.
They walked step by step into that bright light.
Until they passed through all the intoxicating sounds and scents and arrived at Haruhime's room.
"I'll go pour you some tea!" Haruhime eagerly stepped forward but was immediately hugged around the waist by Eugene.
"Huh?"
"Mmph!"
She felt a fiery sensation on her lips, and her eyes instantly became hazy.
"Hu-Husband..."
With a weak, sweet sigh, Haruhime's body collapsed backward, and Eugene gently laid her down.
The system's item is certainly effective!
Eugene wiped his mouth and looked back at Aisha.
The woman before him was tall and slender, her sheer fabric swaying.
Sweat trickled down the curve of her waist and abdomen.
Everything was clear without a word.
"Hoo, hoo!"
"You better be ready for this, you bastard!!"
