Many apologies for the long wait, Kookie was busy traversing the roads of life….and dying of heat stroke (well not really, but it is that hot >w<). Next time, feel free to take over if I’m stuck in limbo for more than a week.
Chapters until Raphtalia returns: 25
Aspiration of Dedication
The knowledge from Ren’s world is also quite doubtful.
It’s very likely that Motoyasu will be the same as well.
It’s all just useless information. It would be great if we could establish a Class Up method to surpass the limit like this though.
And yet, Gaelion wasn’t able to.
I ignored Motoyasu and continued the conversation.
Isn’t that right…. even regarding the Peerless Transformation Style, why has such an excellent martial art become something only the Old Hag knows.
The past conflicts are also on my mind but the investigation would be endless.
I’m not getting the information I want, as if it’s intentional.
“This is just my guess, but is it alright?” (Naofumi)
“Tell us.” (Ren)
“It’s the possibility that they need a hero to surpass the limit. It might be that it wasn’t attempted so the method was lost.” (Naofumi)
“Ah, I also inferred something like that. It’s just that apparently Heroes are sometimes summoned and sometimes selected so it’s somehow doubtful.” (Ren)
“Is that so…. if they were summoning periodically then there’s no way it would be forgotten.” (Naofumi)
“Really, what the hell are the waves.” (Naofumi)
“Yeah…” (Ren)
“Do you have any information about efficient hunting grounds?” (Naofumi)
“Right, in that case―” (Ren)
It might not have been taking into account the negative effect of the change in ecosystem or the change due to the waves.
It looked like the enemies were becoming stronger with each wave, and the deployment modifications of net games is probably there.
Well, this world isn’t a game though.
From the start, it was knowledge from guys who caused such a debacle.
I had asked with the assumption of failure so it’s the same as not taking any damage.
You said it with all your heart though… it’s because he was corroded by the curse.
Oh well. I’m trying to recruit the good Ren as an ally.
Ren stared at me enviously.
He’s misunderstanding something though.
At my question, Ren’s expression gradually turned blue.
Ah, he never even considered that kind of thing.
Sigh…. it’s a troublesome age.
Ren hurriedly put his hand on the door as if he was going to exit the house.
In this situation, should I call Taniko?
Well even if I call her, she’ll probably be very sullen.
Ren didn’t actually know, but she already knew.
To not be thinking of revenge deserves some merit.
I do respect it, but it’s something I can’t do in practice.
This is a world where experience can even be gained by killing humans.
Don’t say nonsense such as humans and monsters being different.
He made a reluctant face.
It’s because Ren is similar to the Female Knight. He probably has high ideals.
This is already a disease.
It’s just a complete change from a gamer’s mindset to aspiring to be a saviour with dedication.
Moreover, there’s even the addition of masochism.
That Motoyasu, he probably didn’t listen to what I said.
Ignoring that, I turned to a different problem.
What was it that I wanted to ask Motoyasu?
For now there’s that.
Motoyasu tilted his head in confusion.
Hey, what’s with the question mark.
What the hell!?
In other words, it’s a skill superior to Blutofer?
A skill that can be invoked with no compensation, how much of a cheat is that.
….It was invoked at the cost of Envy?
Then what about Temptation?
Thinking about it, it probably uses Lust.
However…
Motoyasu’s followers started hitting him repeatedly.
No matter how I interpret his words, I feel like Motoyasu just wants to do obscene things with Firo.
Motoyasu has so much Lust that it can’t even be completely taken away by the Curse Skill.
“Yes, but I have one thing I must apologise to Firo-tan and Father-in-Law for.” (Motoyasu)
“It’s not just one thing.” (Naofumi)
“Actually, there’s one other eye-catching person apart from Firo-tan.” (Motoyasu)
“Oh really, then head that way.” (Naofumi)
“However, I only met her once so I do not know her. She looked like an extremely large Filorial.” (Motoyasu)
“It seems she came because these children were candidates to be the next queen but when I realised, they had already lost their candidacy.” (Motoyasu)
“….What happened?” (Naofumi)
“Who knows? Before I knew it, all that was left was a lot of loose feathers.” (Motoyasu)
“Ah…she was beautiful like Firo-tan, and so my tolerance….excuse me. I, Motoyasu, am devoted to Firo-tan!” (Motoyasu)
“No, it’s fine because she’s eye-catching.” (Naofumi)
After that, Atla and Sadina came to my house to sleep.
It’s already become routine.
By the way, Firo was grounded so she slept at Melty’s.
As far as it goes, Kiel is a veteran among the slaves so her friendship is widespread, and Imia has deep relationships with the production team.
Hence they are the perfect people to inquire to about the status of the village.
And incidentally, they can also be good as a countermeasure against Atla.
I don’t know if it’s because those dexterous Lumo and Aquatic slaves liked it but if I didn’t caution them, they would work all night to manufacture goods.
It’s been profitable thanks to that though….
I’ve given them a portion of the proceeds and when I ask what they’d like as thanks, they request that I cook some food.
I wonder if that much is fine….
Mainly, I feel like she will target me as a carnivore.
If I didn’t have the intention of running a household, staying in this world would be unthinkable.
The next morning, Ren tried hard to look after Taniko, which she hated.
Taniko also didn’t do anything about Gaelion but she glared at me for Ren’s situation, although I didn’t really care.
While Taniko and Ren had their little dialogue outside the monster hut, I crossed my arms and glared at Gaelion.
Firo, in her monster form, lay in wait behind him.
That was so I could threaten him depending on his answer.
Gaelion declared, his eyes swivelling around frantically.
I knew she disliked him but that Firo, she opened her mouth in jest.
So you hate him that much.
Hmm….. this panic, it seems he really doesn’t know.
Ah, I heard the sound of a slap.
That Taniko got angry and hit Ren’s cheek.
Such a thing could be heard, spoken in a loud voice.
Well, there wasn’t any need to peep.
I don’t know the details of what happened, but Ren started hanging around Taniko a lot afterwards.
