DanMachi Gaiden Sword Oratoria – Episode 9 – Lefiya’s New Rival and Feelings of Jealousy

Now that Bell finally appears for some special training with Aiz, Lefiya starts to show jealousy.

This is bound to happen, but Aiz wants to know why Bell gets stronger. With the expedition coming up soon, Lefiya needs to prepare too. When Lefiya runs into Bell while looking for Aiz, she becomes suspicious of him. She has a good reason as Bell has a secret training session with Aiz, which he is hiding. After Lefiya saw Aiz carrying Bell on her shoulders, she becomes distraught.

It’s obvious that Lefiya is upset. After all, she has a huge crush on Aiz. She asks Aiz for special training too or otherwise, she will tell everyone about Bell. Yes, Lefiya is willing to do it to be with her even if Aiz is not the most appropriate training partner. Even after making the promise, Lefiya still shows her envy after seeing Bell on Aiz’s lap. It’s quite obvious that she wants the training so she can become stronger than Bell, her rival. Still, it’s funny how Tiona and Tione asks Riveria about how Lefiya is reacting.

Aside from that, it seems that Aiz needs to take a break from training with Lefiya. While Bell is receiving training from Aiz, Lefiya felt annoyed. Eventually, she runs into Filvis and Dionysus. They treated Lefiya to some sweets, which allowed Lefiya to calm down.

After eating some sweets, Lefiya decides to go with Filvis to do some training. Lefiya perfected her spell casting and use of concurrent chanting. With that, Lefiya asks Filvis to call her by her first name.

This is bound to happen since Lefiya grew closer with Filvis. Sure, Filvis became reluctant to do so at first, but she eventually did. Like I said last time, Lefiya and Filvis will make a good pairing if Aiz doesn’t work out. Then again, Bell still has Hestia, so Lefiya shouldn’t lose hope. Either way, this pairing only grows stronger after Filvis entrusts Lefiya with her Dio Grail.

Aside from that, Aiz finds the answer she was looking for. After Hestia comes to pick up Bell and Aiz walk back together, they got ambushed. I wonder how they will get themselves out of this situation. We’ll find out next time. ¶
