　The girl who bowed to me with a small bow was Tia, the girl who had given her mother a trip to the hot springs.

　On my way back to Foothill Town after that, I ran into the town's neighborhood watch and politely explained the situation to them.

　The mayor of the town thanked me profusely and agreed to pay for my stay.

　After I had enjoyed the hot spring so much, I was thanked again by Tia and her family, who had also enjoyed the trip with their parents and were going back home today.

I was thanked again by Tia and her family, who had also enjoyed the trip with their parents and would be heading home today. Just take good care of your mother from now on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course!　Yes, of course!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so happy to see Tia smiling so much that I couldn't help but smile as well.

　I am an only child, but if I had a younger sister, she would probably be like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure that if I had a sister, she would be just like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah ...... ehehe♪"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I smiled and patted her on the head, and she blushed shyly.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good deal on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good deal on a new pair of shoes. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure what to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the pictures and expect to be able to see them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ma, can I see you again ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I nodded and said, "Yes!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!　I'm looking forward to seeing you again too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow! Oh, thank you so much!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first time I saw her, her eyes were shining brightly, and she bowed her head vigorously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　　　　　　I was so happy to see her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After I left Tia and her family, I went back up the mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had felt the lack of power when I fought with Adamantia the other day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a good thing that we managed to pull it off due to a series of coincidences, but miracles like that don't necessarily happen every time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, it would be more natural if such a miracle did not happen.

　So we asked the mayor if there was some place where we could practice our skills, and he introduced us to a temple in the middle of a volcano.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mayor told me that the temple was located in the middle of a volcano, and that adventurers often visit there to acquire the "fire resistance" sub-skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sub-skills" are skills that are not as important as the main skill, but they are established as a part of one's abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are five ranks of sub-skills, from E to A. The initial rank of "E" is easy to learn, but not that effective.

But it's better than nothing. But it's better than nothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought to myself as I climbed the mountain path, and eventually I saw the entrance to the temple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It appeared to be a cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard about it from the mayor. I have heard about you from the mayor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The woman at the entrance, dressed as a priestess, leads me into the temple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed to be a path that led to the inside of the volcano, and gradually the orange color of the surrounding scenery increased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more we proceeded, the hotter it became, and finally we could even see the lava flowing in a thick stream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be honest, it was already too hot and I wanted to go home, but it would have been awkward to come this far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The miko was looking cool, so as a boy, I had to put up with it, even if it was hard for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, the priestess probably has "fire resistance," but that's about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is said that if you meditate at the altar over there, you may gain 《Fire Resistance》.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow, I understand. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my head in a daze, I went up to the altar where the priestess told me to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The altar was shaped as if it was going to pop out into the crater, and if you made a wrong move, you would be thrown headfirst into the crater.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Alright, I'll meditate~.......'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--I'm going to meditate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ahh ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then, immediately--one wrong step .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Woah!　Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Iguza-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the miko's panicked voice at my back, I went headlong into the crater.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　　　　　　I was so far back that I went headlong into the crater.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Strangely, it was not hot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, I slowly wake up in a slumber that even feels somewhat pleasant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard someone's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard someone's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a strange voice that could be either male or female.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a voice that could be either a man or a woman. I salute you for your courage and diligence, and I will give you a part of my power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that moment, I knew something had changed inside me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This feeling was the same as when my "substitution" skill changed to "invulnerability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I don't know why.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was sure that I could fly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--I could fly now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Go ahead, child of man. With my burning wings, I will fly to the end of the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--Doban!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A moment later, my eyes widen, and I fly out of the lava as a bird clad in crimson flames.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And when I landed on the altar again, I saw the priestess with swollen eyes, who had probably been crying, frozen with a look of surprise on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, I can hardly remember what happened to make it so, but it seems that my skill has evolved further again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Skill -- 《phoenix》: Become a great fire angel, instantly heal wounds received, including death, and nullify fire-attribute attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I guess that means I acquired a really great "Fire Resistance" skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know, but I'm glad anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm glad anyway. It seems I've caused her a lot of worry, so I have to report my survival to the miko for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry, I'm back now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I'm back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the miko was still stunned, as if she hadn't quite grasped the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had to go to the miko's office and ask for her help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I tried to reassure her by saying in the gentlest possible tone of voice, "I'm fine as I am.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm fine as I am, so please don't worry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no, no, no. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--I said in a gentle voice, trying to reassure her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Look, you're not hurt anywhere, are you?　I'm fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no, that's not what I mean. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--Flick, flick, flick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The miko was somewhat brusque, but eventually she said, somewhat embarrassed, her cheeks tinted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, um, if you could wear a kimono if possible, ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A kimono ......?　Oh, no, I'm completely naked!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wait, I'm completely naked!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, you said that first, didn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hastily covered my lower abdomen with my hands, and it was only then that I realized what the miko was glancing at.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, why was she looking at me so many times?
