A Blade Made of Slime

Chapter 20 - Elizabeth

Elizabeth?

Despite being rather small, her body was certainly tough and the aura she gave was rather threatening. She gave the appearance of a stereotypical female holy knight.

"My oh my! You are adorable!"

"Nn?"

"Rah, you got beat by a child this adorable? I don't blame you, one would get weak trying to hit something so adorable!"

"I wasn't being weak though, that kid knocked me on my ass."

"Oh, yes you were!~ How could you not be against something this cute! Oh! Amanda!"

"Elizabeth!"

The two had gone over and hugged each other.

"I was wondering where you were! I would have thought you would stick around Donadrond and watch the newbies fighting amongst each other. I should have known you would stick close to the small cutie here!"

"Isn't Fran adorable?"

"Why yes she is! I never expected Rah to be beaten by such a child. This is the rumoured Fran correct?"

"Nn?"

"Look at how small you are yet you have such vigour within that miniature body."

"Nn..."

[What's up Fran?]

(She seems weird.)

[Weird?]

(Nn. )

I tried to analyze her to figure out exactly what Fran might have been referring to but nothing popped up.

<Notice. The analysis attempt has been blocked.>

Blocked?

Even Amanda and the guildmaster couldn't block our analysis before. Why was she able to?

<Answer. She likely possesses a Skill or item that prevents Analysis. Analysis Protection from a Skill alerts the user of the usage of analysis, thus it is likely the user is utilizing an item to block analysis as they had not reacted.>

I see, then it's not possible to analyze them then...

<Negative. It is possible to bypass Analysis Protection given enough time. Attempt to bypass Analysis Protection? Yes or No?>

I'm not entirely sure if I want to try to forcefully pry into her stats but since Fran had noticed something unusual about her, it was best to look deeper into it.

Yes.

<Beginning process.>

I'll have to wait until Great Sage is able to get through her protection, for now, we can only guess what she might be capable of.

Before we had even noticed it, Elizabeth was close up to us.

"Hm, she does give off a feeling of weakness though clearly, her powers exceed what one might expect."

"Nn..."

"Oh?"

"Too close."

"Oh! My apologies!"

She had backed away from Fran.

"I don't believe I have introduced myself properly but I am Elizabeth, a B-Rank Adventurer, it is nice to meet you."

"Nn. Fran. D-Rank."

"D-Rank... woah... I remember first training to become an adventurer. It was hard work to get to D-Rank, I say that much yet you managed to blow through and get to it at your age!"
