Kenshi, The Spirit Swordsman

Chapter 11

Kenshi: Nijika Karatachi. Fancy seeing you here.

Rain: Same to you. Also, my name here is Rain.

Kenshi: So you use your maid name, huh.

Nijika Karatachi, a friend of mine. She used to be a one of the two DEM strongest wizard, the second person is Mana Takamiya. Later, those two quit the DEM and joined Ratatoskr.

She works at the Maid Cafe as a part-time job not too long from my house. Her name is Rain in there. I always go to that cafe with my family or my friends for lunch or sometime is for breakfast.

She's also a singer. Her voice is very cute, especially when she sings. After I sealed Miku, I brought Nijika to Miku's house to let the two of them get to know each other, since Miku is also a singer too. So sometimes, when Rain performed, Miku goes to the stage to sing with her too. It's really entertainment.

Kenshi: Well, since I knew you were following us so I'm guessing you already know our names here.

Rain: Hehe. Yeah. Kenshi and Shin, right? It's a cool name.

Shin: (Um, which name?)

Rain: Anyway, what are you guys doing here?

Kenshi: You see, we can't stay at our place anymore since the day I used the unique skill.

Rain: Is that so?

She put her hand on her chin, thinking for a few seconds before she talks to us.

Rain: Why don't you live with me? I have my own house at the floor 24.

That makes us very surprised.

Kenshi: Wait, really?!

Rain: Yeah. Helping friends is a normal thing to do.

Shin: Not everything can solve with a word "friends" but if you've invited us then we'll gladly accept.

Rain: That's great! Now come on!

She leads us to her house and we follow her.

-Floor 24: Panareze-

It's been a while since the last time we came here. The scenery on this floor is really beautiful. A large lake with some small islands in the center.

After a long walk, we finally reach her house. It's a small house like Asuna's, but she doesn't live in the town, that's the difference.

Rain: Here we are. Come on in. Make yourself at home.

We walked in. Remember when I said her house is like Asuna's? Just pretend that I didn't say that.

Kenshi: This place is HUGE. Not that huge but still, wow. You live here alone, Rain?

Rain: Yep. I spent half of my cols for it since I had lots of cols before.

Kenshi: Uh huh.

I would buy a house like this too if it wasn't for this dead game.

Later on, we sat on the sofa in the living and have a talk. Just like Kirito, Rain is also a solo player all this time. I was half surprised to know that Rain's Hiding Skill is already maxed out, and I don't want to know how did she do it. Anyway, Rain said we can stay here as long as we want, and her house has two guest rooms, weird coincidence.

Currently, I spent a minute to upgrade my Skill Tree and I've unlock my new skill.

Kenshi: All right!
