222 Episode 222 "Awakening. Cheat Daughter-in-law 2nd and 3rd Form (Cutlass Feen) Part 2".txt

A few hours later, in the carriage...

'...... Cutlass?'　You're spaced out, are you okay?

You can go to ....... It's a great site.

Next to me, Cutlass answers.

The hand on his knee opens and closes over and over again.

Every once in a while, he squeezes his hands together and arches his back.

Each time I hug her shoulders and pull her close to me to calm her down.

But I'm still drenched in sweat.

I wiped myself off before leaving the inn and went to change my clothes.

Boku ...... has a lot of ......, a little bit of carriage drunk.

Really?

'Yes, it is. The carriage's ...... vibration is ............ a little ...... cracked a little. Just ...... ...... hmmm

Well, well, he says he's okay with it, too: ......

Fynn, sitting to my left, nodded.

'I, Cutlass's other persona, has said it's okay, so it's okay ......

But, you know what?

Aine nodded her head with a curious look on her face.

'Why is it that sometimes Cutlass and Fynn-chan are doing the same movements as Nay-kun?

""What?"

Me, Cutlass and Fynn nodded our heads at the same time.

Scratching our cheeks, holding our chins and nodding our heads...

...... right?

""Uh, ...... is this."

............ Dear Aine, come here.

At the gyoja stand, Iris beckons to me.

'I know what is happening to Iris. As a maiden, you would be grateful if you would not ...... touch her.

Really?

'I don't think it's a problem for either Mr. Cutlass or Mr. Fynn. In fact, I think they are in a happy state ....... I'm just worried that it will become a habit. ......

Mmm. If you say so, Iris, I understand.

Aine moves to the guru's seat with a strange look on her face.

Iris knows what state ...... Cutlass is in, doesn't she? Maybe.

It's because I also used the "Fast Reconstruction 《Quick Structure》 - Revised" on Iris the other day.

That skill, instead of being able to 'rebuild' the skill in an instant, you have to keep adjusting it afterwards.

That means that during that time, me and Cutlass will remain connected.

The normal Fast Rebuild Quick Structure stays connected as well, but the mind and body of "Kai" are both stronger - a combined state.

That's why I keep adjusting the inside of the cutlass next to you, but...

Lady Cutlass.

Suddenly, Iris, who was seated at the governor's table, said.

Cutlass shook his shoulder with a jolt and then...

"...... Hi, yes. Iris, which

That may be a little daunting at first ...... but it's okay. I'm sure you'll find that as you get more and more comfortable with your big brother, you'll start to feel more at home ......

...... Oh, thank you very much.

...... Mr. Fynn, are you still in the same situation ......?

So it is. Fynn has been working his magic since daybreak.

"Are you a foaming-at-the-mouth kind of guy?

Yes, sir.

...... I don't like the way you say that.

I waved my hand.

Cutlass and Fynn waved too.

"......, I see. ...... I feel at one with this person, ...... and I'm one with them. There is: ...... n.

Good luck. Iris' ...... its ...... for the future.

Yes, sir. ......

Cutlass slumps over, holding her trembling knees in place.

I put my own hand over Cutlass' hand, monitoring her condition.

...... Arujidono's hands are ............ big ...... warm, and they are.

Cutlass looked at me and smiled softly.

I'm deeply connected to Cutlass with "Fast Rebuild and Reform" now.

It's because the "Fast Rebuild and Reform" has the effect of increasing the unity between me and the person I'm rebuilding my skills with.

The last time I used it on Iris, my movements and her were in sync with each other.

I felt like I knew what Iris wanted to do, what she wanted me to do.

That's why I thought it might be possible to use it in the "Spirit Link".

In order to make the Spirit Link work, you have to be engaged for a certain amount of time.

But I thought that by connecting with them more deeply, it might be possible to shorten that period of time.

In short, by increasing the concentration, we can shorten the time.

Anyway, we're engaging our souls in a cheat way, you know.

It doesn't matter if you use a cheat to establish a 'spirit link' (spirit link).

...... I think I know what Cutlass wants me to do when I do this.

For example, ...... now Cutlass wants a pat on the back ......?

I felt that way, so I touched Cutlass' back.

"............ is uu. It's calming and it's ...... a happy feeling. Huh.

Are you feeling okay?　Cutlass.

"It's a great ......, but it's more like 'happiness' ...... has been going on forever... ...there is.

Cutlass wrapped his damp hand around mine.

'So please continue on ...... and there is ...... as is.'

All right. I'll check your skills, just in case.

I called up the skill window.

This time, I made this skill with "Fast Reconstruction: Quick Structure, Revised".

Magic Poison Decomposition Lv 1 (4 Concept Cheat Skill)

A skill that neutralizes 'magic magic' and 'toxin elements' to 'speed up' and 'neutralize'.

A skill that allows you to eliminate magic and poison that touches Cutlass-Mutran's body earlier.

The neutralization speed is based on the number of Concepts x (pour) level % + 20%.

(Current Neutralization Speed: 24% increase = 20% more than normal speed to neutralize)

You can also neutralize petrification, which can only be broken by dispelling it, within a certain amount of time.

However, it cannot be used for attack magic that takes instantaneous damage.

This time I used Common Skill's Detoxification Lv 1 and Delayed Magic (Slow) Lv 1.

Detoxification Lv 1.

Skill to "neutralize" toxins "early".

"Delayed Magic, Slow, Lv 1.

The skill of using magic to slow down your reaction time

I've used 'Delayed Magic (Slow)' before, so I knew what kind of concept it was.

By combining it with 'Detoxification', I tried to create a defensive cheat skill.

However, the purpose of this time wasn't to create a cheat skill, but to connect more deeply with Cutlass with 'Fast Rebuild and Reform'.

'The ...... concept (gaineen) is getting off. I'll stabilize it. Cutlass.

"...... is yes, ...... hmmm. Hmmm!

Cutlass turned his body around, holding his mouth.

...... That's funny.

We're in sync, so I kind of know why Cutlass wants it.

So I should have done exactly that .......

............ some more, like this?

Ha ha ha ......

Koten, Cutlass puts his weight on my shoulder.

'............ Arujido.'

Are you okay?　Cutlass.

It's ............ much better, and it's there. ...... Somehow, it's ...... that's going to melt away. I've been feeling ...... that it's okay to put away ......, so I'm going to ......

Cutlass said, looking up at me in a daze.

"I'm going to stay ............ like this all the way through ...... with Arujido and 'Shinkuro' ............ all the way.

We'll be at Metecal soon. Good luck.

...... hui.

Pockle, Pickle, and Peckle, try not to shake it up as much as possible, but it would be helpful if you could ...... hurry it up.

"'It's time for you to go home!

And so, the carriage with us on board was heading towards the commercial city of Metecar...

Shortly after noon, we had reached the Metecal Inn.

"............ whew. Finally, ...... has settled down. ......

'Thanks for your help. Cutlass.

...... I'm ...... already ...... I'm a puppy under the spell of a certain someone.

Sorry to bother you at ............. Brother. Mr. Cutlass. Mr. Fynn.

For the time being, I told Rita in "True Consciousness-Sharing Mind Linkage True" that we've arrived!

Rita and Letitia are going to gather some more information at Viscount Mirfe's house.

So we quickly got a place to stay, the pair of us, me, Cutlass (and Fynn), Aine and Iris. ......

When I think about it ......, I don't think Iris needed to be present the first time: ......

Iris has been told by "Kerkator the Sea Dragon" to make sure that me and Cutlass can do ...... properly.

But that doesn't have to be today.

I'm sure there will be one more time during the ...... journey.

That's what I told Iris.

"How do I know you won't be involved in something at Metecar?　I must be present when I can, I must, as a maiden!

Okay. Is that all right with Cutlass?

............ is fine. It's a good thing that Ilisu already knows ...... what I'm like at ....... ...

Yes. Yes, sir.

I ask you to perform the last rites at ......

He sat down on the bed and bowed deeply.

This time, Cutlass and I performed a two-step ritual in order to 'spirit link' at once.

First, we exchanged our magic power with the "Ability Rebuild 《Skill Structure》" to "Engage" our souls.

Next, use "Fast Reconstruction 《Quick Structure》・Change" to synchronize and further strengthen the connection.

By doing so, I increased the density of "Soul Engage" per hour.

I felt like if we just layered our bodies together, we could create a 'spirit link'.

It's a good thing that ...... doesn't care if it doesn't work. Arujidono.

Cutlass said and laughed.

I want to help everyone at the ...... party, so if you can get a clue to empower everyone with ...... me, I'll be happy to do just that! ......

...... I'm sorry, too.

Fynn took over Cutlass' line.

Arujidono is a man who saves people by getting great ideas and making them come true. We will be happy if we can be of help to Arujidono.

Illis would be the same at ....... Don't you dare!

You know, Iris and Fynn, they're both overzealous.

I said, nodding their heads.

Iris and Fynn closed their eyes, tickled.

Then I beckoned Cutlass over to me and put him in my lap.

'You don't have to push yourself, you know. I really want to do a lot of things with ...... cutlass and ............... two levels of enhancement, that would be nice.

I looked at everyone's faces and said.

'The reason I decided to do the two-step reinforcement is so that everyone ...... including Cutlass can live a carefree life. You can't force yourself to do that, you know.

I thought you would say that about .......

...... "And if you can strengthen Cutlass by two levels ...... and in case Cutlass is in trouble because of the 'royal blood' that flows through him ...... It's easy to get out of that kind of fate, isn't it? Well, I'll have me and everyone else by my side when that happens, so I guess it doesn't matter.

............

...... hmm?

I love ...... and I have it.

Cutlass sat sideways on my lap and looked straight at me.

I'm ...... grateful to my mother for raising me as a knight candidate. It's the reason why I met Arujidono ......

We'll have to go visit Cutlass' mother's grave at some point.

"Cutlass and Fynn, your children were given to me.

That's about as good as it gets.

Then ...... we'll begin the rest of the ritual, Cutlass.

Yes, sir.

Cutlass put his little head on my shoulder.

I hugged his back and...

Readjust 'Magical Decomposition Lv 1' Execute 'Fast Rebuild [Quick Structure], Revised'!

────────!

In my arms, Cutlass's little body trembled in my arms.

Then, Cutlass held me in his arms and...

So, the last rites, please go to ......

Are you sure you want to keep going?

............ Rather, I'd rather keep it that way, or else I'd be in a lot of trouble at ............ This is going to be a problem: ......

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

I'm going to be the mother of the child of the brave men of the sea dragon.

I'm sorry, ......, but I just kind of floundered.

Maybe we should take our time.

But when I saw the Cutlass I thought, not only do I want to make a promise, I also want to make a 'spirit link' with it.

It's just the way we are, isn't it? Hee hee.

Cutlass laughed.

I have nothing to hide from you all, sir. We're a party, we're slaves, we're family, and we're all important to each other.

Then Cutlass, in a graceful, elegant manner, bows to me like a princess and bows to me like a...

Then, slowly, he began to undo the strings of his clothes.

And then...

It was still early, so we drew the curtains tightly shut and...

I'm going to listen to what Cutlass wants me to do with True Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage True, and I'm going to proceed slowly...

When it was over, Cutlass switched places with Fynn...

And so time passed slowly...

I love ...... and I have ......

"...... our ...... our ...... our ...... our Arujido.

.................. (patter)

Cutlass and the others fell asleep (Iris turned bright red and fainted on the way).

And then...

The "soul engagement" over a certain density - the condition was cleared.

The message that Cutlass and I wanted was displayed.

Magical union over a certain period of time──conditions were cleared.

Embrace with complete trust in each other for more than a certain amount of time──cleared the condition.

Spiritual bond over a certain depth of time--clear the condition.

The Spirit Link has been established, and the Soul Link skill has been awakened.

SOUMA = NAGI

Ability enhancement (Skill Booster), modified (Spirit Link Skill)

You can extract a "level" from the target skill.

Once the level is removed, the skill will collapse and disappear.

The extracted "level" can be added to the rebuilding skill when you rebuild the ability.

(For example, if you extract level 1 and 2 from Doubtfulness Level 1 and Worry Level 2, you can save them as a level concept of Level 3.

If you use this when you rebuild your ability, the rebuilt skill is no longer level 1, but level 4.

Extracted "Level Concept" can be saved up to 2.

The "Skill Booster" has suddenly changed to "Ability Booster".

This means that only the levels of skills that can't be used can be extracted as a 'level concept'.

And up to 2. Add those skill levels together.

Until now, when you rebuild a skill with the "Ability Rebuild" function, the skill is set to level 1.

Even with 'Ability Extraction (Skill Stocker)', I wasn't sure if the extracted concepts would be useful.

But this could control the 'skill level' itself.

All the skills I'm going to create from now on can be set to a high level. That's great: .......

So, the skills for the Cutlass are ...... eh.

''Dragon Knight Change (Dragoon Mode)'' (Conjuring Skill 《Spirit Link Skill》)

It is the fruit of Cutlass' desire to become the "Dragon Protector".

When activated, the Dragon Knight's Armor forms around his body.

Cutlass will not be damaged until the Dragon Knight's Armor is destroyed.

(If the damage exceeds its defensive strength, the dragon knight's armor will be blown off and the damage will stop.

While the Dragon Knight's Armor is deployed, damage from fire and freezing magic will be reduced.

Furthermore, by receiving magical power from a party member who possesses the dragon's attribute, the knight gains additional effects based on that attribute.

(If the dragon is a sea dragon, it gains water breathing and water pressure resistance. (If the dragon is a sea dragon, it gains breath and water pressure resistance, and if it is a celestial dragon, it gains fall resistance and magical defense.

In addition, the "Armor of the Holy Knight" and "Armor of the Dragon Knight" can be summoned in layers.

...... woohoo.

This is an absurd cheat, isn't it?

The fact that the "Dragon Knight's Armor" and "Holy Knight's Armor" can be stacked on top of each other means that in that case, if you destroy the "Dragon Knight's Armor", the "Holy Knight's Armor" will appear, and if you destroy the "Holy Knight's Armor", an unharmed Cutlass will appear from within. ......

It's a nightmare situation for the enemy.

Of course, for me, it's not much of a stretch to say, since the cutlass's defensive power is increased.

...... Huh?　Fynn's also has more skills.

The search for sacred artifacts, artifact searcher, modified.

Perceive the location and capabilities of sacred artifacts in the vicinity.

You can sense whether there are sacred artifacts within a radius of several tens of meters around you. You can also sense its capabilities.

Basically, it can't be blocked by walls, obstacles, or treasure chests.

This one is a higher level version of the 'Artifact Searcher'.

It's amazing ...... that you can even know the ability.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I guess that means both Cutlass and Fynn have awakened their defensive skills.

...... Really, you did a great job. Both Cutlass and Fynn.

............ Fumyu, Arujidono ...... and ......... ...Compliment Cutlass ...... and congratulate him on .......

I placed Cutlass and the magical body Feen on my lap and patted his back.

I took my time - slowly - until their breathing calmed down.

...... Thank you, Iris, for your services.

............ has done its best: ......

Iris replied quietly, pressing her bright red face against the couch cushions of the room.

Then I draped the blankets over Cutlass, Fynn and Iris' bodies as they fell asleep.

Finally, I patted each of their heads and with a ...... snap, they took my hand in theirs.

The bed and the couch - I sat down on a chair in the room with my hand pulled by each of them.

...... I've made everyone reckless this time.

Let's just do this for a while.

Besides, watching everyone's quiet sleeping faces makes me happy.

A few moments later, there was a knock at the door of my room.

I pulled my hand out, with a sigh, so as not to wake everyone up.

I got up from my chair and opened the door to my room to find Aine standing there.

She's holding a tub of hot water in her hand and a cloth to wipe her body.

'...... That's my sister,'

Mmm-hmm. Aine knows what she's talking about.

With that, Aine took out a small note.

'I've been looking up a place in the commercial city of Metecal that serves food that is good for digestion and energizes you. Once we're settled, we'll all go together.

You're too sensitive. Sis.

"Mmm-hmm.

Aine took a satisfied breath and closed the door.

Then I waited for Cutlass and Iris to wake up, and got ready for them.

We had dinner at the restaurant that Aine recommended...

You'll get a good night's rest.

I decided to head to the rendezvous point with Rita Laetitia.
