Chapter 13 The story of people with special powers and skill composition

 

[Let’s stop talking about Maria’s skill and get back to the topic of special power for now.]

[The fourth dimen—]

[Is that so? It’s almost like you’re travelling empty-handed.]

[Well, it is normal for slaves to carry the baggage.]

[That’s right. That is better.] 

It seems both of them were prepared for that. I don’t want to make girls like them do any heavy lifting at all.

[It is still less than I thought. There was an item box from those thieves. That can be used for camouflage, too.]

Mio looks shocked when she heard my words. Did I say something strange?

[I never thought Master would use the priceless item box as a camouflage…]

[It is valuables enough…]

I see, the item box itself is valuable enough. I’m really ignorant.

[I’ll leave it to Sakura for now because the things necessary for the trip are in the item box.]

[Uh, yeah.]

The pouch is embarrassing.

[So, it still looks like a bag without the contents inside.]

[Well, that standard is really high…]

In addition to special powers, we are replacing the technology of Japan with magic, and that makes our situation tolerable. It is endless if we are going to look up.  (ED:上を見ればきりがない。Huh?)

[They are powerful and convenient, without a doubt, but the result can cause items with similar property to become inferior.  I see this more clearly than the other three…]

A: The capacity is unlimited; it can dismantle or synthesis anything inside; it can store corpses; you can choose whether or not to stop time for the stored object; you can store living creatures if they are petrified or frozen; and magic can be stored, too.

It was unexpected, and there’s no excuse, either… I should’ve already confirmed it properly.

[It seems I have many things I need to confirm right now.]

I decided to tell everyone about the information I just obtained.

[One can even put humans in it, too, depending upon the condition. Corpses, as well. It is even possible to revive humans, via usable items, while they’re being stored.]

As Mio said, I think those functions can be utilized and abused. I didn’t think about handling the corpses like that…

[It seems you can manipulate the time of the stored object, too. It can also be used to store food for a long time.]

Mio’s ideas don’t stop. Oh, this one is from a chef’s point of view.

[If you can synthesis inside , doesn’t that mean you can cook with it?]

[Oh, that usage is really original.]

I think so. The purpose of special power is to aid the adventurer and battle.

[What do you mean by “stored magic?”]

[It is virtually no chant.]

I didn’t receive the no chant skill, but I can use no chant virtually (Even though it is necessary to set it up beforehand). 

[I think I will store the surplus magic as much as I can from now on.]


[Well then, the fourth and last special power is . It can form a special connection between my subordinates.]

Maria asked.

[The connection is something like invisible path. By the way, it can be used only with subordinates, tamed monsters and slaves, but it doesn’t have a distance limit. It can be used to communicate with each other without speaking, and to share abilities.]

Mio’s eyes brighten up as she asked that question. Because she heard how useful the connection is, she wants to use it, too.

[Not all abilities can be shared. I still have the sole authority to determine who can use them. It is impossible to take ability from an enemy who was defeated by someone without power turned on.]

[No, everything will come to me. It is more like a remote terminal than sharing the ability. Since acts as a remote terminal, I can give ability to the person who defeats an enemy, if it is necessary.]

It is troublesome. Why can’t I set it so half of the ability from defeated enemies goes to me and the other half goes to the person who defeated it? Wait… I can!

[It seems I can set private and common areas of storage by using , as well.]

[Yeah, if you think of it like that, even though just one part is lent, it still has infinite capacity. You could say becomes more useful. Oh, that convenience function was set to OFF a little while ago.]

It doesn’t seem the others can set passage of time for items. It is basically just sharing with them because I still have the final authority over it.

[The help function from can’t be used, but status check and map can be used.]

[In short, Master will become stronger if the number of subordinates is increased.]


Maria’s switch was flipped in strange place. If the network of my abilities is completed, I might become the strongest just by letting my subordinates do all the work.

Sleep is an easy way to get strong? No, I think my own strength is important, too.

[By the way, thanks for . I can talk with Dora now.]


[Dora, transform.]

<

Dora’s body shines brightly while she answered, and her dragon form appears when the light settled.

[What on earth? Is this…?]

Maria forgets to breathe.

[Cute~! A soft and fluffy feather. Cute, round eyes. I want this girl~]


[Dora is a monster call “Dragonewt.” Although Dora is a dragon who can transform into human form, she is too young and can’t speak human words. In the case of , we can talk without speaking. In short, it is “Telepathy”.]

[Uwa, I can hear her voice in my head.]

[Uwa, this is Jin-sama’s voice.]

[Yes!]

I couldn’t do it at first but it becomes good enough to talk after trying for several minutes.

As Sakura heard the young girl’s conversation in her mind, her physical strength recovered, so I get a bit closer to her.

[This is all of my special powers… for now. Should we talk about Sakura’s special power soon?]

The girls’ glances are focused on Sakura.

[Err… Don’t expected too much, I only have one special power, and it isn’t as great as Jin-kun’s…]

Sakura doesn’t seem to have confidence in her ability, but that isn’t the case at all. If I have to say, her power is enough to be called goddess.

[My special power is , and it can create any magic this world doesn’t have. The magic called “Revive” which was used to heal Maria’s wound was created by this power.]

As expected, both Mio and Maria are dumbfounded. Her magic isn’t inferior to my special powers, either. And in their eyes, it is strong and convenient.

[Not only master’s special powers are strong, but Sakura-sama’s are, too.]

[Again…]

[No, I think that is good enough. Since Sakura-sama and Master are together, there is virtually no flaw.]

[Yeah, leave it to me.]

[Well, it doesn’t matter since it is already ended.]

I told Sakura how to receive gratitude from Maria.

[It is okay. Don’t worry. Maria-chan doesn’t tell me herself, but Jin-kun already gave me the instructions. I discovered this special power because of Jin-kun, too… In the case of Jin-kun, I feel like I have to do something for him, even without this special power.]

No, I don’t think like that, at all. However, I will be troubled if you don’t awaken that special power. There is no guarantee the rest of my special powers can heal Maria. By the way, just taing out will let her regeneration skill work.

[No, I didn’t do anything in particular.]

I can’t put much appeal for now. Uh, there is no guarantee it can be done with the power I have. It isn’t a lie.

[Well then, I guess that was all about special power. Uh, it is the right time. Let’s have a lunch soon.]

Maria asked, but I don’t know what she means.

[What do you mean?]

[Y-Yes. That’s right.]

With an explanation from Mio, Maria also nods. Perhaps slaves’ food is different from Master’s. Yeah, in drama or manga, too, nobles and servants don’t need to eat the same thing.

[That’s right. Because I don’t have money problem, shouldn’t you guys eat the same thing, too?]

[There is something else that can’t be left unspoken. It is necessary to clarify our standpoint toward it.]

Maria objects strongly. She still thinks “We are above them” and rejects my decision.

[As Jin-sama wants.]

She kneels down, without hesitation, when I gave her an order. As I said “We have to eat the same thing” a little while ago. Maria showed disapproval about it, but it is totally different when I ordered. A little while ago, didn’t I say “To eat” as question and answer?

[Maria-chan, that is fine.]

Mio is somewhat astonished when she speaks.

[Because we are his slave, it is natural for him to choice what is good for us. Though of course, we still need to give priority if it is an order.]


Maria’s complaint was cleared up when Mio says that.

I order five complete meals from an employee at the hotel, and we decide to move to into four rooms. Dora doesn’t need bed because she will sleep with either me or Sakura.

Food arrives. It is delicious enough to make Mio and Maria cry. It has been a long time for Mio (8 years) – and first time for Maria – to have a high-class meal. (Each meal = 1,000g)

We take a short break after eveybody finished their meals. Those two are regretfully looking at the tableware.

[It has been a long time since my stomach has been this full. About 8 years? Well, since I had a small appetite in my life before, this might be the first time in 24 years that I’ve eaten this much.]

Mio talks as if she is 24 years old.

[It was the first time in 12 years for me. Since I have to eat to survive, I become happy just to have something to eat…]

Maria displays a happy expression. However, I could sense a little gloominess in her.

[Is it really okay for us to have this kind of treatment even we did nothing until now…?]

It is really late to realize that, but it is unbearable after eating something delicious once (Mio is a good example). As for Maria, she could enjoy delicious food from now on. Of course, I can order her not to eat, too…

[I will have you working from now on. This is a prior investment. If we start traveling, the quality of the food we can eat is sure to decline for sure. So that is the reason I bought Mio. Although we’ll use you as slaves for life necessities, don’t worry. We won’t treat you cruelly.]

[[Yes!]]

Those two answer cheerfully. I decide to organize our skills first before going to buy weapons. But Mio, it is undeniable that Maria can’t be sent into battle directly. Excluding Dora, Mio is the youngest normal human with no cheats, except for being able to reincarnate. Originally, I wouldn’t let her join the fight, but I have to…

[Well then, I will start skill organization soon.]

[Isn’t that too many with magic?]

[Then, please give me some magic first.]

Mio seems to want to use magic. I don’t mind if she wants to be full-time magician.

[Except for the main weapon: Sakura. She is a full-time magician.]

[Whip and bow are recommended for mid-long range fighting.]

I don’t have whip skill, but I might obtain it if I use it for a while.

[Whip is no good! Let me use a bow.]

I think there is some demand for loli queen. Well… For now, I’ll just give her a set of magic: and .

[Maria, I’m sorry, but could you give each of us points for the skills we don’t have?]

I could use converted points to supplement Maria’s lost points, but that would take a lot of points.

[I don’t mind. Please use it freely.]

[Yes! I’m glad to help you.]

As Maria gives me the permission, I distribute one skill point from each skill to each member. When it becomes LV1, it will give a power that exceeds amateur level.


[What is Maria’s main weapon? I think we lack a vanguard, so I want to put you in that position.]

[Understood. Is the sword good enough?]

[Well. Since reinforces , it’s a good idea. So, let’s start with a one-handed sword first.]


Maria’s weapon type has been decided, too. It seems she is skillful enough to have a dual-wielding style, if she want it. Since she’s the type who can do anything, I want to let her do various things.

Since this talk is settled, let’s move to the next step.

[Well then, the conversations about skills and weapons are done. Let’s go shopping. Clothes first, and then for weapons, armor and travel necessities afterwards.]

<>

We head to clothes shop in town. It seems this is the first time both Maria and Mio have had a proper look at this town, too.

[Don’t look the other way too much.]

Since I hold Dora’s hand, the one I most worry about is the self-proclaimed 24-year-old little girl.

But we arrived at clothes shop without a problem. I buy my own quickly and then wait for the girls in front of the shop. I told them to buy clothes they like since I gave them a big budget to use.

With the huge budget, I don’t see any reason why those girls will hate dressing up. It isn’t a bad idea to let those beautiful girls dress up. (Excluding the possibility of becoming a target for bad guys, that is.)

The girls came out after I’d been waiting for a while. Maria and Mio weren’t wearing the clothes from the slave dealer. Instead, they’re wearing the clothes they bought from the shop. Maria is wears shorts and T-shirt for mobility. Without showing off, she gave priority to efficiency. Mio is a gothic lolita. Don’t you know you have to fight in the future?

[We bought too much.]

The girls are showing me the big bags full of clothes that they bought.

[That’s okay, but Mio, why did you choose gothic lolita?]

[Well, you need to fight…]

[Oh well…]

I can’t argue because I don’t see a problem for 8-year-old girls to wear cute clothes.

[Yeah, with pleasure.]

Since Mio says that with confidence, I return to my real intention. Cute girl in cute clothes is justice.

[I-I must prevent you from disappointing Jin-sama’s expectations. A-As a girl, I should learn how to dress up…]

Maria is serious in a strange way. I couldn’t say the current Maria doesn’t dress up. I shouldn’t tell Maria about my demand. I know she doesn’t hate my request, but I don’t want her to do it so eagerly.


Next are travel necessities. We only need personal tableware and sleeping bags for each person… According to Mio’s suggestion, we decided to separate them with color. By the way, the color coding is as follows:

My items are “Black”; Sakura’s are “Pink”, Dora’s are “Red”, Mio’s are “Yellow,” and Maria’s are “Blue”.


By the way, I decide to prepare the full set of cooking tools for Mio (and Maria) because my cooking skill is 0,. I would have totally forgotten about cooking tools had Mio not told me.
