"It's a bit of speculation indeed. But to be honest, when I saw the footage taken in the surveillance, I only vaguely felt that the girl in it was a little familiar, after all, I never thought I would see you here. ”

There's no need for Lévy to hide that he's watching the surveillance. After all, they were already able to come to this kind of otherworld, and they easily defeated a monster that looked like a 'boss' in this labyrinth. It's too ironic for such a person to say that they don't have the ability to see the monitoring of an ordinary highway rest area.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. McDowell here, you are ...... Qualified? No, it's an anomalous person, right?"

Hiiragi Asuka stared closely at the sword and gun in Levi's hand, and examined it carefully, as if she had determined something.

"Qualified? Do you call someone who has a weapon like yours a qualified?"

As if the courtesies were reciprocating, Levi also stared at the sword in Hiiragi's hand that had a strange shape, but it was quite beautiful from an aesthetic point of view. He could feel that the sword was not only made of a very special material, but also exuded an energy that he had never felt before.

That's right, it's the special otherworldly energy that makes up this labyrinth and the monsters in it.

"Yes. ”

The girl was silent for a moment, then nodded in reply.

This is a smart girl who is young and inexperienced, but she acts decisively - just a few words and expressions, Lévy already has a pretty high opinion of the girl. Of course, this also includes the impression left by the contact between the two when they were not clear about each other's 'identity'.

Although Levi still doesn't know which organization the girl belongs to, no matter which organization it is, as long as it is related to this kind of thing, there must be a basic principle of secrecy. But it seems that the girl only hesitated for a moment, and then gave up such things as pretending to be stupid, or other tough methods.

Maybe it's because Levi is obviously not an ordinary person, maybe it's because he witnessed Levi's ability to easily defeat huge monsters, and maybe there are other considerations. But there is no doubt that the girl made the right choice, especially not as overwhelmed as children of her age usually feel when faced with such a choice.

I'm afraid this kid will be great in the future.

Lévy didn't dare to say how great his eyes were, and he didn't know if there were any 'tricks' in this kind of thing that some people said were mysterious. But with his experience far beyond what ordinary people can have, a young man like Hiiragi Asuka was not something that Levi hadn't seen before. And everyone else, without exception, has grown into quite remarkable people.

"Those who have awakened their powers and can use such 'soul devices' to fight against the 'alien beasts' of the other side are used to being called 'qualified'. ”

Soul device, Lévy looked down at the sword in the girl's hand again. No wonder he could faintly feel that the sword had an unusual 'connection' with the girl herself. Although it wasn't necessarily as she claimed, it was as if the sword represented her soul, her heart. But it is true that the sword should have some degree of connection with her heart, and even that appearance may also reflect a certain quality of her heart.

Levy has seen all kinds of strange weapons, and he has indeed seen weapons that are truly 'embodied' by people's 'hearts'. Compared to those things that were simply magical, the sword in Hiiragi's hand belonged to something that Levi could understand with his own common sense. The so-called weapons that are directly linked to people's hearts or hearts to exert special powers and can be used more flexibly like arms and fingers, in fact, let alone in the form of abilities, in some planets with more advanced technology, even pure technology has given birth to similar products.

"Listen to you, as if your 'soul device' could be obtained naturally by awakening the power of the 'qualified' as you say. ”

It sounded like a tentative thing, but Lévy was genuinely just curious. He is not the kind of person who must pick up something valuable when he sees it, let alone step on the coin he sees on the street, make sure that there is no one around, and then quickly pick it up and continue walking as if nothing happened. If he was interested in what humans could get in such an otherworld, he would have been able to find out about these things that he only now knew from Hiiragi Asuka through his own channels.

If you don't want to get into trouble or something, even if you don't alarm or covet or really pay attention to such an otherworldly organization for the sake of protection, Levi won't be unable to inquire about anything useful. In fact, Aozaki Orange, who Levi specially asked this time, has been interested in this otherworld for a while, and has really studied it to a certain extent.

It's just that Aozaki Orange is the kind of person who only cares about the 'benefits' that can be provided by what is not available in the reality of the other world, as Levy said. She was only intrigued by the 'material' that she had never seen before. Later, after researching for a while, she found that the materials produced in the other world did not help her goal much, just like a child who played a game for a few days and thought it was not interesting, and then she left it behind in a blink of an eye.

"There are some people who want to think about what the teacher said, and at the same time they awaken their abilities, they get their own exclusive soul device. But we don't know exactly how that works. ”

This is really a very decisive girl, and she didn't hesitate at all after deciding. If some of the seniors in her organization were to change this kind of thing, they might not know whether to let Levi know about it, right? Although Levi, who had listened to it, thought that there was no need to hide this kind of thing in the slightest.

"But this sword of yours isn't like that?"

She said 'a part of the people,' and from the tone and expression, the girl didn't seem to count herself in that part.

"Well, my situation is different. ”

Hiiragi's expression was a little subtle, and it looked complicated and elusive, but Levi understood it immediately. Such an expression is like Mengmeng sitting on the roof in the middle of the night looking up at the night sky, or like Kaguya occasionally sitting in the room with her head down and silent...... Of course, Kaguya's time like that was rare was very rare, that is, Levi had been to her room too many times before he had happened to run into it once.

It's just that Hiiragi's expression is obviously more ...... than Mengmeng's at that time Sad, yes, Lévy found another place where she was similar to Rin Tosaka, and also very similar to her other daughter, Fit.
