No idea if anyone didn't get this part but in regards to Bel's Shooting Intuition. The bonus is a % correction/adjustment, not a hit rate bonus. So even if it's 100% it's not 100% chance of hitting, but it's better to think of it how in some FPS the cursor changes in size to match the range where the bullet will deviate within. Bonuses to correction = smaller range of deviation.
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 30
It seems that reincarnated people are born several years after the previous reincarnated people, basically the generation that is in possession of Unique Abilities end up dying. Supposedly only after that are new reincarnated people born. When they're born it seems there's cases of just one being reincarnated or cases like us with a number of people. However, I'm sure there's most likely multiple. Since there's probably some who died while children or who she never ended up meeting in their whole life so she probably just didn't notice them.
For example the military organization. I'm sure that the fact that the nobility and soldiers are a different set of rankings is related to the advice Lilus gave. I think there's various other things as well. The qualifications for companies and the shape of politics. Fundamentally the nobles are ministers who are appointed by the King and roughly governing over things but the rankings of the officials at the end are already decided and even commoners and free people can get promoted pretty high on that end. I think that's something pretty abnormal for Orth. "
"Certainly, I've heard that there's various things that are different in Rombert Kingdom from other countries.."
Zenom said seriously with his eyes opened. I nod at him and then continued my words.
"I think that George Rombert was wise. I'm sure he was originally blessed with military talent but without getting arrogant from that, he accepted Lilus's advice, and just like this he made Rombert Kingdom a large country that's lasted 500 years. Listen and be surprised at his name before he was reborn, he supposedly said it was Minamoto no Yoshitsune."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine suddenly got noisy. I'm sure just Zenom has no clue but that can't be helped. Ralpha is explaining to Zenom that it was a famous military commander in our past lives. I waited until everyone quieted down.
"Is it already fine? Ah? It seems that Musashibo Benkei died without meeting Yoshitsune. Yeah. The continuation. It seems that after Lilus became a {Demi-God} she was able to sense the signs when reincarnated people are going to be born. And even more time passes..500 years. It seems that Lilus senses a single reincarnated person born below her feet. That was, Chizumagurol. My subordinate from the past that I met in the dungeon the other day. It seems that Lilus was surprised when Chizumagurol was born. Up until then she had met and seen a number of reincarnated people but it was her first time meeting someone from the same era as her after all.."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine the four of them are closing their eyes or looking into the distance while trying get a feel for Lilus's feelings.
"I'm sure she was happy. It seems that soon after she was born she used magic to peek in on her memories and see what kind of person she was. That magic is called {Report} and it's spell that's already been lost now and uses a tremendous amount of mana. When the spell is used on the target while they're sleeping or the level of their consciousness is low, it forcefully displays memories that strongly remained in their impression. And then, as compensation for that the target's memory is sealed. Eh? I don't know if the memory that was looked at itself gets sealed. In the first place, it seems that even I don't have enough mana to use that spell {Report} at all so I can't use it.
"Yeah, I understand that person's feeling as well. I'm sure she wasn't able to hold it back.."
Bel and Toris are supporting my wife Lilus.
"Certainly, that's true but..forgetting your life because of that..is painful I'm sure.."
Ralpha whispered.
"Well, forgetting is a faulty way of putting it. Just like I said in the start, the memories are just sealed and not completely forgotten. In reality, when Chizumagurol met me she remembered the considerable portion of her memories. I'm continuing..after looking through the memories of Chizumagurol's past life Lilus noticed something. The fact that Chizumagurol didn't reincarnate alone."
I took a glance around at everyone's state. There was no one making strange faces. I was a bit worried someone would interject. I'm saved.
"A certain person was in the memories of Chizumagurol. That person was someone Lilus was intimate with during her time on Earth. Since that person was in Chizumagurol's memories even if she knew it was no good Lilus couldn't stop looking at Chizumagurol's memories. That person was, Lilus's husband in Japan."
"Ah..that is..might not be..impossible."
"No way~!"
It seems that Bel and Toris might have realized.
".."
Zenom still has his arms crossed and is making a difficult face with his eyebrows raised.
"..Lilus noticed the possibility that the man who was her husband could have reincarnated on Orth as a baby. However, her body was already in a state where she couldn't move freely. Quite literally, her legs were rooted to the ground. Since it couldn't be helped she made use of that spell {Report} and used it blindly one at a time..from one person on Orth after another..she slowly looked into the memories of various people while searching...
After 10 years she was finally able to find them..after looking into their memories and finally being able to specify her husband I think she was quite happy. Even if she's a {Demi-God} she's not omnipotent. In order to meet him she would have needed her husband to come to her place. There was no other way to talk than that...She had already reached her limits in mana and while it was temporary she was about to die as well. It seems she overdid it quite a bit somehow aligning her mentality just to say "I'm here, come and meet me.""
Everyone has quieted down tilting their ears to the story.
"Now then, the story changed a bit from here. I was able to notice it vaguely but I had some memories that were disappearing. The first time I noticed it was shortly after we came to Baldukk. And then, in a strange place I noticed that I had a powerful spell, one to the level that even I couldn't remove cast on my hand. After that..I gathered information from various places..and there's some coincidences here as well but if I have another chance I'll mention it..In any case, I realized I was under the effects of a powerful spell that I couldn't release myself so I thought the only option was negotiate directly with the caster.
I'm sure that after everyone started training with magic there's countless things you could have noticed but using a new spell itself isn't all that difficult. However, that's only in the case that spell actually exists and you've seen it used in front of your eyes. Using the example from just now even if there's a spell called A that you know the name of, if you've never actually seen it then in most cases you're still doubting it's existence somewhere in your mind. Even though I just mentioned the spells named {Report}, {Detect Magic User}, and {Telepathy} I don't think you'll be able to use them with just that."
I shifted my position on the chair again before continuing.
"However, my Magic Acquisition ability let's me reasonably become able to use a spell just by learning the name and effect of it in a short amount of time. And then, the hidden ability that was released by reaching the highest level, it's just somewhat but it makes it easier for me to develop my own spells. I haven't put any effort into it yet but I think I'm going to make a new spell using this."
I grin while looking around at everyone.
"It will be an expansion of {Status Open}. I think it would be good if I can see peoples {Status} without touching them directly. Particularly, if I can see things that only the person them self could see until now like Unique Abilities, special skills..and if I could see the levels of magic it would be the best. It would be an advantage in searching for reincarnated people, and from here on out, I think it would be helpful in finding talents to make my country."
Gwine seemed like she had something she wanted to say.
"Gwine, is there something you want to say? What is it?"
"..Wun, I was just wondering how that would be useful?"
"Gwine, think carefully about it. I think it would be extremely useful. For example, if you caught a glimpse of someone that seemed to be Japanese in the town. If Al-san can use the spell he just mentioned there then he can tell if they're a reincarnated person without even being noticed by them. This advantage is big. It's an unpleasant way of putting it and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but before the other side even notices you could grasp their weakness if possible and start surrounding them before they know it. If you can do that then even if they refuse negotiations it's possible they'd be forced to become allies. After all there's no guarantee everyone will sympathize with Al-san, I'm sure there's cases where people normally want to do their jobs or live with their families as well. It would be big if we could make people like those into allies."
Toris said. And then, Bel continues to open her mouth.
"Since the two of us have already made our decisions, it's a bit late to be saiyng anything at this point but rather than grasping the other persons weaknesses, I'm sure we can find things that would be of merit to them and get them to become our allies. It's big that we can find merits that are tailored closer to the interests of the other person as well. Of course, even if the other person isn't a reincarnated person it's big that we can find out their name and family ahead of time as well."
Next, even Ralpha added on as well.
"If you can see monsters as well then it could be convenient..like special skills. Since magic didn't work on that {golem} from the other day.."
Zenom says while his arms are still crossed.
"..However, even if you can make a spell like that, we can't tell anyone about it. I'm sure anyone would dislike knowing you can use {Status Open} freely on anyone at anytime. Just thinking about it is creepy."
"That's true."
I make a bitter smile while replying.
"However, please rest easy, Zenom. I don't think it would be so easy to use right and left. It's just my guess but I feel like it would use a considerably amount of mana. Even if I can do it I don't think it's something I could use a number of times. It feels like it would be more of a decisive technique. When it comes to using it on monsters in the dungeon unless it's a considerably powerful enemy it would just be a pointless waste of mana. It might not be all that useful in combat."
And then,
"I don't know how much time it will take for me to complete it as well."
By explaining it not as the Unique Ability, Identify, but rather just a type of spell then I should be able to decrease the amount of evasive feelings they get in regards to it. Furthermore, if I make it so that it uses a considerable amount of mana then even if they ask me to teach it to them they won't be able to use it. Almost like the spell {Report} to me.
"Sorry but that's about all of the information I heard from my wife. It would be good if Toris can notice the expansion ability to his Scales."
I said that and finished things up.
"Now then, the next thing. This morning, I talked with the King. Putting it frankly, there's a reasonably good story and one that's not very good at all. I guess I'll start from the reasonably good story."
Everyone is focused on me again.
"It seems that fundamentally, it's {OK} for me to create my own independent country at my own convenience. And, buying a portion of the royal territory..is a weird way of expressing it, but I guess that's fine, if I can buy some , then fundamentally Rombert Kingdom itself won't attack us if we don't take any hostile actions towards them first. Though they won't save us even if we're attacked by countries other than Rombert."
Ho~ and I heard sighs of relief from everyone.
"That's wonderful isn't it. It's big that one large points of grief has disappeared!"
Toris said. That's certainly true.
"Ah, that's right. However..I was beaten, after all that old man King isn't an ordinary guy."
After I said that and everyone leaned forward a bit.
"From here on is the news that isn't very good. Like I just said, buying some of the royal territory from the King is fine itself. Though it might be considerably smaller than the edge of the East like Count Rinflait's territory but it's not a territory as barren as there. Or rather, it would be fine to say the land itself is quite fertile. However, there's several large problems. For starters, the problem of money..It's 10,000,000,000 Z. Otherwise handing over a useful magic tool that rivals that amount."
".."
I'm sure they had somewhat predicted it. It's for that reason that we're still tirelessly exploring the dungeon.
"The next problem is the fact that it's a territory in the Dirt Plains."
""Eeehh!!?""
That's only obvious.
"That's right. It's common knowledge but there's conflicts with Devas Kingdom there all the time. It seems fine if we don't take into consideration attacks from the Rombert side but I'm sure things won't go that way with Devas. And then, the problem that is inclusive of that. Bel and Zulu were born in Devas. Zulu is fine, but Bel, it might be possible you would have to cross swords with people from your own country. Or rather, I'm definitely sure Devas would try to lay a hand on us so it's not just a matter of possibility. If it comes to that Bel, can you fight? It will be a death match to protect our land. Depending on the case since the Koloil family is a Sub-Baron they might participate in the attack."
I said while making a sour face, and everyone, was looking at Bel's face. Gwine is looking at Bel quite worried. However, only Toris isn't looking at Bel and is standing together with her looking at me.
"Al-san. When I turn 20 years old I intend to marry Toris. If it comes to that then I won't be Bernadette.Koloil but Bernadette.Karlstalan. And I won't be the second daughter of a sub-Baron but I will be the first wife of Count Kalstalan in the country that Al-san makes. No, the Kalstalan family that Toris leads in our new kingdom will aim to be a Marquis, so I'll become the first wife of Marquis Kalstalan. If the Sub-Baron Koloil of Devas Kingdom offers their allegiance to us then I'd like to accept them but if that's not the case then that would make them invaders. What is there to worry about a Marquis of the Kingdom fighting against some invaders?"
I was worrying about whether you could separate things inside of you. First wife (candidate).
After hearing Bel's declaration starting with Zenom, Ralpha and Gwine were all dumbfounded.
However, I've certainly been shown the resolve of you, you two.
You're seriously intense.
After that, we all got into a debate about whether the Dirt Plains were better, or the East is better as our conversation continued late into the night.
