Hello, adventurers of Axel! 👋 We all know the noble (and slightly peculiar) Crusader, Lalatina—or rather, Darkness. She’s always complaining that no one in her party understands the true joy of being the team's "shield wall." Especially Kazuma, who always runs away from danger.
The Scene: Today, Darkness decided that words weren't enough. Kazuma needed a practical demonstration of how rewarding it feels to experience the "intensity of battle" firsthand.
Knowing he would try to escape, Darkness used her overwhelming physical strength to force him into submission. In a swift headscissor move, she neutralized any chance of the adventurer fleeing. As Kazuma struggled to breathe under the iron grip, Darkness—with heavy breathing and a strangely blissful smile—began to explain how that feeling of being crushed, that "test of endurance," was the best part of being an adventurer. For her, it was a moment of shared glory; for Kazuma, it was just a terrible Tuesday being the "training dummy" for the strongest (and weirdest) Crusader in the kingdom.
Do you think Kazuma learned to appreciate Darkness's "taste" for these trials, or is he just more terrified of her now? Share your theories in the comments!
Thanks for the constant support! 🛡️❤️
