Translation took a long time due to busy times during the chinese new years and sickness, which is why it took a while. The next chapter is already translated too, so we can get to work on it immediately. Got a week off work so I might be able to spend more time on this. Maybe as early as next week. Don’t take my word on it though.
Enjoy your read~

Chapter 51.5 Skill integration
[And so, I'm thinking about integrating various skills now.]
[Oh~]
<<*clap clap clap*>>
Mio and Dora were playing along with my farce. I was doing this farce after confirming my follower monster’s skills.
All the main members (Sakura, Dora, Mio, Maria and Sera) were present.
[So, master. Could you tell us your policy on skill integration?]
[Aah, alright. First of all, you need enough skill points for the skill integration. That’s why I’m thinking about giving preference in giving integrated skills to the main members here among the first ones. In short, I’m favoring members who associates with me the longest.]
[Oh~ I’m glad I became your subordinate while it was early, Master.]
[That's right (desuwa). I'm a little happy to receive preferential treatment (desuwa). Although do feel a little bad for the other girls…]
Other members will get them too when we have excess points.
[Secondly, since it will be hard to make all skills level 10, I will be making them level 5 at most. As for the skills in exception to that, we will be using the pre-integrated skills as is.]
[So it means integrated skills will be at level five, and what skills will be higher will differ for each person. …I'm glad. If everyone has
I picked up the lonesome remark Mio said in a tiny voice at the end. If you say that, then It may end up with ‘Maria alone is OK’ you know?
[Thirdly, since integrated skills can't grow, each person will also own the pre-integrated skills of those they use often. Oh, Maria will have all the basic skills.]
[Yes, please entrust them to me.]
When they have the skill they use both before and after integration, the higher leveled skill will be given priority and the experience point will be added to the pre-integrated skill points. It’s quite helpful, so possessing both would be fortunate.
[It is something like that I think. Then, let's start integrating skills.]
[Err, are we going to do the martial art skills first?]
Sakura asked. If I go in order, martial art skills should be first.
[You are right. Let's start with martial art skills]
Integrated skill :
[Alright, it is done.]
[Eh?
[I’ve decided at my judgment not to add things that are bad for your reputation or education.]
First of all it’s because I didn't want Dora to learn the assassination skill. The same went for thief-like skills too.
[Well, it’s not something to feel good about learning it either.]
[Lastly, we can’t integrate
[The way you said it, Jin-kun, means those are unique skill, aren't they?]
[Yeah, there seems to be a quite a lot of skills that can't be integrated. Then, next are the magic skills.]
Integrated skill :
[This will allow us to use several hard-to-train magic skills. And also
[Eh? Why is the number of skill in martial arts fewer than this?]
[You are right. There are a lot of technique-type and body-type after all. So in short, Maria, please gain martial arts type skills.]
[Please leave it to me.]
[I don’t think you can gain them that easily though…]
Look, this is Maria I'm talking about…
[Next are technical skills.]
Integrated skill :
[That is amazingly numerous.]
[Yeah, it turned surprisingly into quite a number. There’s nothing but skills that are difficult to use if you don’t have a certain amount of knowledge beside the skills. Honestly, I don't feel any benfit from integrating those skills.]
[Well, I don't think anyone can master them even if they’re all raised. …Except Marichan.]
[You are right. I guess level 3 is enough for all members when it comes to these.]
You can’t really say that it’s insufficient if they all have level 3 when it comes to technique skills. Because there’s nothing but skills that are good if the real specialists reach high levels in them.
[Oh, come to think of it, I couldn’t integrate
[I think it is possible maybe because monsters can use it on monsters of their own kind. The Goblin King originally had it.]
[Oh, I see. So the Goblin King can use
Mio nodded at Maria's explanation.
[Well then, next ones are body skills.]
Integrated skill :
= +<
[This is a lot too. Oh, which reminds me,
[Eh? That’s a unique skill? But Marichan and Cloud from the adventurers party learned it by themselves…]
[That’s amazing. It is very different from me who still hasn’t gotten 0 new skills by myself …]
Err, Sakursan feels a little down.
[It is fine. Since I'm the same.]
I was also feeling down a bit.
[Huh? But Jin-kun, you just can't acquire skill from the disadvantages of your special power, right?]
[Well, you are right. In your case, Sakura, you have chances to learn skills, so you can push for something you’re aiming for and learn it. Different from the absolutely impossible me.]
[That's right. If it’s possible, then it’s good to try and challenge it. Alright. I’ll think of something and put it into practice.]
Looks like Sakura has become able to look forward. I’m more than happy that her gloomy face doesn’t show up so often at this time.
[Well then, let's put the integrated skills with the skills I mentioned until now as the standard. I’ll collect the skills that aren’t used as much as the integrated skills. Except for Maria.]
[Yes.] x4

[Then, let's start with my skills]
Shindou Jin

Special Power :
Equipment : Spirit katana – Incomplete
[Master…]
[What's wrong, Mio?]
[Because you kept away the skills that are bad for education from the integrated skills, your skill column has become excessively thief-like though…]
[Oh, right. They’re now standing out instead because they’re not integrated. It can't be helped that it’s full of that.]
The hief skills
[Well, there aren’t any skills I particularly need, so I guess I'm okay with this.]
[As for me, Jin-sama, I would to have all integrated skill at LV10 for your safety…]
Maria said something unreasonable.
[There’s not enough skill points.]
[Understood. I will go earn them, so please take some rest until then, Jin-sama.]
[The way you said it makes it sound like I’m like a kept man so please stop…]
Maria would happily accept it normally if I tell her I want to be a kept man…Since it looks like she essentially doesn’t want even one bit of danger… It is quite different from my principles so I just won’t say that, so…
[Next, it is Sakura's turn.]
[Yes. I'm looking forward to it.]
Kinoshita Sakura

Equipment : Star staff – Stardust
[A magic specialist. Only
[You are right. Well, there aren’t many chances to use high-level magic though.]
[If we use the highest level 10 and such with our magic power, it’ll become quite a chore.]
[It will be nice if we don’t have the chance to use it from hereon.]
[That's right.]
Such overkill magic, we never had the opportunity to use it after all.
[So, is there any skills you want?]
[Err, I did say it before, but I aim to acquire a new skill by myself, so I don't need any now. I understand it when I look at it this way, but I don’t have anything in the technical type beside those that were integrated, isn’t it. I’m sad that it’s like I’m being told I lack any interests or hobbies, so I’m thinking about aiming for a skill in that area]
[Understood. Good luck in acquiring new skills… I can't do that after all.]
[Eh… yes.]
Sakursan gave me an absentminded response. It’s not like I mind it that much with my self-deprecating joke-like line. I mean, my special powers leveled up…
[Next is Dora.]

Dora

Equipment : Mithril Staff, Mithril Buckler
[I gave Dora the skills that monster can use.]
<
[Well yeah, biting something dirty is not good after all.]
<

I’d like her to play-bite if possible, but there doesn’t seem to be any of that in the dragonewt culture. Too bad.
[Is there any skills you want?]
<~ Because I will work harder in making medicine~>>
[Dora's medicine is high quality after all. Maybe there will be a day where you can create legendary class medicine that reaches Midori's
<
Well, we can’t sell those either way.
[Next, Mio.]
[Aren’t you being somewhat rough!?]
Mio

Skills :

Equipment : Mithril Bow
[
[Thanks for
[Come to think of it, you haven't asked me to convert any skills lately, Is that fine?]
[If it’s against monsters around here, then level 3 is enough after all. Master will be the one who will tame them when we are together after all… Besides, I felt somewhat satisfied when I tamed one, so it isn't that important anymore.]
Potechi, who had become an indoor dog at our mansion right now was the monster she tamed. At the time the assassins came, Potechi kept sleeping. Looks like it can't be a watchdog either.
[And skills that you want?]
[
[If you’re fine with that, Mio, then increasing the skill itself is no problem for me. I’m interested how delicious your food will become if we increase the skill too.]
[So then, if you please.]
The meal we had afterwards became so delicious enough to understand the difference. Sakuya who came from Kastal to play was so moved by how delicious Mio's meal was, she shed tears. And I decided to give her a light head chop as she tried to scout Mio again.
[Next, it is Maria's turn then. I’m saving your skill points so it’s a little difficult.]
[I’m sorry for troubling you.]
Maria
LV62
Skills :
Martial Arts Type
Magic Type
Technical Type

Other Type
Possesses all original skill points from before integration.
Equipment : Treasure Sword – Everlasting Darkness (Tokoyami)
[Looks like both
[Yes, there are relatively easy to level if I make sure to put my mind in using it.]
[That probably only applies for you Maria. Come to think of it, I haven’t really thought about it, but why is
[I'm a woman. Would you care to confirm it once more?]
[No, that's fine…]
[Perhaps you can learn it if you work hard, don’t you think?]
[Are you fine with that, skill system?]
According to Alta, gender only influences the advantage/disadvantage to learning the skill, so it isn’t impossible to learn them. It couldn’t be integrated since monsters couldn't learn it.
[And the skills you want to learn…]
[I have none. If it is necessary, I will learn them by myself.]
Maria is the only one who can do that after all.
[Huh? Didn’t the
[Ah, you are right. I don't notice it at all if you didn't tell me.]
Maria didn't notice this either.
[You really don’t have any interest in yourself do you…]
[Well, you are right.]
Maria affirmed towards Mio’s amazed voice.
[So, the skill you learned this time is…]
You can learn new skills each time the
It seems it’ll be inherently unique skills once she gets to lvl 6, so I couldn’t integrate it. Maria got it with trouble, so I decided to leave it attached to her.
Can erect a barrier with support effects. Can erect a barrier at any place on a three dimensional airspace.
[So, the last one is Sera.]
[Yes please.]
Sera
LV47
Skills :
Martial Arts Type

Other Type
Equipment : Guardian's Greatsword, Guardian's Great Shield
[You’ve got somewhat many close combat skills.]
[I haven't been able to use spears recently though., since I have a set equipment for the sword.]
[Well that’s true.]
[I will continue practicing it just in case.]
[Even so, you are specialized in close combat aren’t you? The so-called musclebrain style.] (Spec: Not sure about ノーキン)
[Musclebrain? What does that mean?]
[That you’re certainly close to “Muscle for brains”]
[That is a terribly rude word to describe me…]
But even Sera thinks her skill composition is basically musclebrain.
[So, is there any skill you want?]
[Something that will ensure I will not be called a musclebrain.]
[…Then I will add more
[Thank you very much.]
Let’s not say that the problem isn’t just Sera's skill composition but also her nature.
[Well then, we’re done reorganizing our skills, so how about we head to the graveyard area.]
[Hii~!]
Oh, that last part was Mio's shriek.
