As the battle was over for the time being, I asked Hana about something that I had been concerned about.

"Oh right, since you hit the Goblin Knight with your bare hand at the end, is your hand injured?"

It would be a big problem if there was even a little scratch on her hand after all. So, I asked with that in mind but, Hana simply answered with "I'm fine."

"I didn't get any injuries because I used Cladding Barrier."

"I see, it can be used that way, huh."

Looks like Hana used [Cladding Barrier] like a kind of protector1. Certainly if her body was protected with that kind of strong barrier, there would be no way she could get hurt just by punching the Goblin Knight.

Even so, to think that she found a way to use [Cladding Barrier] as a means other than defense even though I haven't found it yet, Hana might have a talent in terms of resourcefulness in combat.

I wonder how excellent Hana will be as an adventurer if she used [Stock] to copy powerful skills and utilize them in various ways.

"…Fumu"

And here, I sunk into the sea of thought.

In order for Hana to shine as an adventurer, she should join a party rather than solo like me. Because to make the best of [Stock] ability, companions who possess excellent skills will be needed.

If I may add, Hana's strength was that she could fight in various ways depending on the situation. Which means, it might not even be necessary for her to stay in one party. In conclusion… as expected, for sure it's better for her to join a guild too.

And if possible, I want us to belong to the same guild. No, it can even be said that it's a must. Given that condition, the first candidate at the moment is… Yoizuki.

Although Yoizuki is a high-ranking guild that is renowned for their ‘small number-exceptional talents', I am certain they would be delighted to recruit Hana if they knew her talent. But the question is whether they are trustworthy or not–

"? You suddenly became silent, what's wrong, Onii-chan?"

"No, nothing"

Perhaps because she was wondering why I suddenly had a deep thought silently, Hana asked. In response, I shook my head and placed my hand on Hana's head.

Although I made a lot of assumptions, in the end, it's up to Hana to decide which guild she wanted to join. As follows, there is no need to think that far at the moment. Right now, let's just do what we can.

"Yosh, if Hana is fine with it, let's look for the next monster"

"Roger!"

After that, we walked around the dungeon for an hour. And Hana grew steadily every time she fought a monster.

Footnotes

Like what boxers wear on their hands. I mean, punching someone’s face definitely hurts after all.
