Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 76.2

It seemed that the young lady preferred weapons she could hold with both hands. Today, she had chosen a long spear.

She was the first to stab at the wolf, dodging sideways with a leap. Immediately, magic from the rear hit the wolf, taking it down in an instant.

More beasts were sent in, but the young lady deftly handled them, making sure to stay clear of the magic attacks.

Before I could even react, the five of them had already taken down all the monsters.

“Phew… it’s over.”

“Chloe, that was amazing!”

“Ahaha… thank you.”

When the girls complimented the young lady, I couldn’t help but feel proud as well.

The young lady’s movements were quite impressive.

“Milady, you did well.”

“Thanks!”

“Where did you learn to fight like that?”

“Where? I just did what we practiced during the joint training at Kuroisa, right?”

“Hm? Oh, you mean the shield-bearer and attacker roles?”

“Exactly. I don’t need to be strong to defeat the enemy. Magic is far stronger. I just made sure to clear a path for them to strike.”

“Oh… Milady… you…”

“That ‘you’ part is unnecessary!”

She elbowed me.

Ouch!?

Normally, it wouldn’t hurt much, but this time it really hurt!

“Beryl!? Wh-What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing, Milady… Could it be that you’ve become… stronger?”

“…”

“J-Just kidding! It just hurt more than usual.”

“It sounded like you were saying it never hurts.”

“Haha…”

“I’m not sure what’s going on, but I leveled up a lot today.”

“Huh…?”

“Is it always this easy to gain levels?”

Ah.

Could it be…?

“Don’t tell me, Milady… you didn’t just level up by ten, right?”

“Not ten—more like twenty.”

Whaaaat!? Why is my 【Sovereign Path】 affecting the young lady too!? She’s not even my subordinate!

…Wait a minute. Maybe the key is not how I feel, but how they feel about me?

If someone who viewed me as an enemy infiltrated my team and received the bonus from 【Sovereign Path】, that would be a huge loss for me. There’s a penalty afterward, sure, but the loss would still be there.

I see… I don’t fully understand how 【Sovereign Path】 works, but it seems that if they consider themselves my subordinate, it applies.

Later, it was Lisa’s turn. The team leader organized the group, and Lisa effortlessly blended in with everyone, fighting alongside them.

Lisa… is she actually good at working with others? Or did she learn this after playing with the kids at Kuroisa?

When Lisa returned, she said something shocking.

“Beryl. For some reason, I leveled up a lot.”

“Lisa too…?”

“Is this also because of your power, Beryl?”

“W-Well, sort of… Please keep it a secret, alright?”

“Sure! It’ll be our secret!”

Haha… I guess it’s only a matter of time before someone finds out, but for now, this is fine.
