Rival (
Summary[]
After bumping into Bell and apologizing to each other Lefiya asked him if he hadn't seen Ais. He asked her if she was a member of the Loki Familia and, when she answered yes, he freaked out and ran off with Lefiya following after realizing that he knew something. Finally after a while Bell was able to hide from her and went to meet Ais. Later, while returning from their training, they were seen by Lefiya who thought they were having an intimate moment as they were so close to each other, causing her to pass out.
Everyone in the Loki Familia home was shocked at Lefiya's state and didn't know what to do. When Ais approached her to see why she was like that the Elf asked her who was the human she had met with, which made Ais get scared and take her elsewhere. She then told her about their secret training and explained that she had been close to him because she was helping him walk since he was injured after the training. Lefiya felt jealous upon hearing about it, further thinking that he was cheeky to make Ais train him for free. Ais came out in his defense and argued that she had offered herself, asking Lefiya not to tell anyone about it. Lefiya said she wouldn't only if Ais trained her as well to which she agreed.
During a break on their second day of training, Ais was surprised by how quickly Bell had grown thinking that it would be good for him to acquire a style similar to hers, but concluded that he should decide for himself. She also asked him if he was upset that she had called him a coward the day before but told him that that was a good thing since it would help him survive in the dungeon. On the contrary, not feeling fear was dangerous, explaining that she was like that and she had made others worry about her several times, saying that she was very similar to a monster. Bell refuted her claim, noting it had been her who had saved him as well as made him want to be like her.
After that they resumed their training with Ais noticing that he had improved and was excited about it, but ended up giving him a blow that knocked him out. Realizing it was similar to the time she found him on the 5th Floor she decided to repeat the lap pillow thing. When Bell woke up he asked her why she had done it. She tried to excuse herself by saying that he would recover faster, though finally confessed that it was because she had wanted to. Ais got upset and asked him if he didn't like it; Bell replied that he liked it but it was embarrassing, though noted he had no choice but to accept it when he was unconscious. Hearing this, Ais' eyes sparkled, which scared Bell, who could do nothing but scream as she approached him.
Later that day Lefiya and Ais went to the 5th Floor to train with the latter asking what she was supposed to teach her, causing Lefiya to become depressed after realizing she had no idea herself, so Ais proposed to help her learn concurrent chanting. After failing several times, Lefiya asked Ais how the human was doing and she replied that he was growing fast and had potential. At this Lefiya told him in her mind that she recognized him and that from that day on he would be her rival, declaring that she would not lose against him as she stood up and asked Ais to continue.
