"So, since Cecil and I are now officially 'soul-dealers'
I'm here.
In the living room away, me and Cecil reported to everyone.
'Wow, surprise congratulations, Cecil-chan,'
That's what I'm talking about. You pulled off the Engage Ceremony.
It's .......
Rita's cheekbones are on the table, Aine's eyes are shining, and Letitia's turning bright red.
But you're so nonchalant. No one is surprised.
...... Come to think of it, this house has a lot of sound going through it.
Even when I was in my room, I could hear Aine and the others.
So you all have a general idea of what's going on. Well, that's fine.
Cecil is feeling better now, so now we just need to take it easy and head to Ilgafa.
Rita-san, Aine-san.
Next to me, Cecil nodded as if he had made up his mind to do something.
I moved closer to Rita and Aine and took their hands in mine with my tiny ones.
''Both of you, please come to your rooms with Nagi-sama.
What? Hey, Cecil?
...... Cecil. No way.
"You two should make a 'soul promise' to Nagi-sama.
Wow, wow!
...... Aine too?
I thought you were going to say something like that! It's Cecil!
Maybe.
I figured out how to use the ability rebuild level 3, and where the souls are located.
It may not be as easy as Cecil's, but if you give it time, you should be able to 'soul-promote' with Rita and Aine.
...... Aine is fine.
But Aine gently let go of Cecil's hand.
'I don't think it's too early for that sort of thing, Aine.
I know.
Aine has her own brother, Naiad, to deal with.
You can't tie me and my soul together so easily, can you?
But what do you mean when you take out a small card from the chest of your maid's uniform - the kind you use for radio exercises - and say "I haven't accumulated my service points yet, so ......"?
And Rita, on the other hand...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
She shook her head frantically, shaking her golden hair.
'Why is that, Rita?'
'It's not natural! Of course we can't be together!
So why won't you let go of my hand, Rita?
Yeah. It's strange.
Rita, I don't know how long it took you to get up and walk towards me.
".................. Oh, what? Why eeeeeeeeeeee?
Rita let go of Cecil's hand with a bang.
I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.
'No, no, Nagi! You're still "engaged" with Cecil, right? Make sure you properly establish the 'Unity Spirit (Spirit Link)' before you do it!
But you should at least practice your 'soul promise'.
Why?
Because Rita was always at the vanguard of our party.
So, Rita has the highest chance of being injured.
I want to be able to use the great recovery of 'Soul Promise' in case of an emergency. Besides, it's the theory in the game to assign higher skills to the vanguard characters. It's a good idea to experiment with the difference between magic and sacred power in Rita's case, so I want to experiment with various things.
I'm not sure if that's the case, but...
It makes so much sense, I hate it!
And since Rita is a lonely person, I think she'll feel better if she's connected to us.
No, that's not true. I'm not a lonely person.
If you don't like ...... Rita, I'm not saying you have to.
What?
Why do you look like an abandoned puppy over there?
Do you still want me to just practice?
No, I don't! I'm not ashamed of that! Not, no! No, I won't! I want to, I don't want to, I don't want to - I don't want to, I don't want to - oh, my God!
Rita?
She turned bright red and screamed, held her mouth like she was startled by her line, reiterated it, held her chest in her pajamas, and wagged her tail...
Are you freaking out so much that you don't know what you're going to do with yourself?
"Don't worry, it's just practice. It's just a practice run, you know, to see if you can engage.
'Wow! Garu-ruh!
Don't go wild.
What should I do? I don't want to force it.
But I'd like to be able to use the big recovery in case of an emergency. ......
.................. It can't be helped.
Let's use a cheat persuasion method here.
'Cecil, come here for a minute.'
I beckon Cecil over to me.
In the corner of the room, I put my face close to his long ears and listen so Rita can't hear me.
...... Huh? Ha, yes, Rita, you can go to ............
Cecil turned red to the tips of his ears and nodded his head in agreement.
Then Cecil went back to Rita, looking up at her face as he said
'You don't want to be with Cecil, Rita, do you, sister?'
Guffaw!
A stroke of the sea.
Rita slumped down, holding her chest.
Phew. This is impossible to resist.
''Cecil will be lonely without his reincarnated sister Rita, won't he?
Haha!
If you and I unite our souls with Nagi's and reincarnate, maybe we can become real sisters in the next life, Rita!
'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!'
Rita cowered with her head in her hands.
Cecil's mental attack (evasion disabled. Physical defense disabled) was critical.
''Rita-san. Let's be honest?
But, but, but...
'I'm not afraid. I'm just going to practice. And I want to stay with you, Rita.
Have you been with Goshujin and Sesshuru for a long time? Happiness......
Rita looked up.
Her cherry-red eyes were downcast.
Rita looked as if she was sleepwalking, and Cecil pulled her hand to me.
Oh, it was too much.
I thought it was best to attack Rita, who likes cute things and Cecil, with her sister character.
The mental attack is working too well, and I'm losing consciousness. Sorry, Rita.
......
'That said, if you tie us up and bring us before Iris, we'll claim our innocence. We'll prolong the conversation thoroughly. If the Living Mail attacks while we're being held, our innocence will be confirmed. Since we haven't yet accomplished our goal of kidnapping Iris, won't the enemy come at some point?
All you have to do is tell them the enemy is here to save you.
Will the Irgafa Lords' legions move the suspect and Iris together?
...... It's...
It can't be. We'll be separated from Iris. If the enemy attacked Iris, we wouldn't be there at all. Therefore, your point is not valid.
"...... Ugh, shut up! You're a dead man!
Wouldn't it affect your assessment if you killed a suspect based on field judgment?
'A mess! All you do is talk, you adventurer!
These guys didn't have good information. So it was a waste of time.
Well, at least we know that Ilgafa's regulars can't be trusted.
"The biggest mistake you made was...
I raise my hand.
To tell me when to attack.
'It's only a regular soldier picking a fight with a guy who has a cheat character!
'It's entirely too sweet. It's a waste of time for you guys to use 'Chiito Sukiru'.
I heard Cecil's voice.
He's standing behind me, his hands on his hips. I can hear his voice. It's chanting.
Two incantations are flowing out of Cecil's beautiful lips at the same time.
"O genie, let there be light before me. Lamp!
"'Spiritual breath, shoot my enemy. 'Arrow of Fire!'
It's Cecil's new skill 'Double Casting'.
It allows you to chant two spells at the same time.
Cecil waved his thin arm and pointed his fingertips at the soldiers.
The one fired from the fingertips of his right hand was a ball of light.
What was fired from the fingertips of his left hand was an arrow of fire.
They wouldn't miss at this distance. The arrow of fire strikes the chest of the bearded soldier and the ball of light hits the face of the soldier who was behind him. Furthermore, Cecil chanted continuously. If he can chant two level 1 magic at the same time, that means he can fire continuously at twice the speed.
''Gyaaaaaaah! My eyes, my eyes, oh my God!
The soldiers scream as they are bombarded with one spell after another.
'Get away from my master. Rude.''
Gross. Gross. Gross.
Furthermore, Rita's kick, which jumped out of the air, blew the three men away.
More from over the heads of those men as they rolled to the ground.
Oh, I'm sorry. My hand slipped.
with a splash
The muddy water that fell from the roof hit the soldiers.
'When did you get up there, Letitia?
'I'll clean it up in a minute. Please, Aine.'
"Yes, sir. I want it shining right now. The ground.
A maid appears from inside the house with a mop in her hand.
She spins around and gives me a bow.
Bam, bam, bam, bam
In the meantime, one after another, muddy water and tub after tub hit the soldiers.
Puddles of water were forming underneath the soldiers' feet.
Nah-kun, it's dangerous. Don't move from a safe distance...
"Safe distance?
I'm in the doorway. The distance from Aine is about ten meters.
That's about the extent of the effect of this skill.
Aine slams the mop down on the puddle.
She glared at the stunned bearded soldier and declared.
You deserve to die for scaring Nah-kun. It's a good idea to suck it up and use the special kill 'Sewage Increase Lv 1'.
The mop - began to spin at high speed.
Underneath Aine's feet, a puddle of water swirled around. The amount of water increases.
At the same time, the ground underneath my feet - a little toe to be exact - was cracked.
The weeds that had been growing for a little while were dying in the blink of an eye.
It's as if they were deprived of water.
"Gugaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
The bearded soldier holds his feet and screams.
Reddish water is flowing from the gap between the iron shin guards.
Is that the sweat of the bearded man - or is that water from his body?
...... So you're forcibly siphoning off the increased water from the surroundings.
The "Sewage Increase LV1" increases the amount of "dirty water" that Aine touches with her cleaning tools by 20%.
The increased water is then forcibly (・・・・・) sucked up (・・・・) from the surroundings (・・・・・) and from the air (・・・・・・).
From the ground, from plants, and from the air. And from its bodily fluids, if people are touching it.
Except for the user of the skill, Aine.
'Don't, don't, what the hell is this?
Aine didn't do anything. He's just making more water.
'Aaaaah!
Both of the soldier's legs begin to twitch.
I wonder how much is 20% of four tubs of muddy water.
At least it's going to be enough water to cause severe heat stroke.
'Hee, hee ...... hee ..................'
Aine, stop. He's gonna die if we don't stop. A dead body in here could get him in trouble.
Yes, master.
Aine lifted the mop.
The eddy in the water disappeared, and the increased muddy water flowed out towards the surroundings. ...... Wait a minute.
Didn't we just fix the sewage spatially?
Does this skill fix the sewage in a radius of about 10 meters, with a 20% increase, until the skill is released (・・・・・・)?
...... cool. "Sewage increase level 1".
"Gah-ha-ha. Bah, blah, blah, blah, blah, the wizard wasn't sick: ...... that's a different story.
Two of the three soldiers are rolling around, holding their eyes.
His bearded face is shaking in a puddle of water with his hands and feet.
"I don't know what you guys think, but we're not here to antagonize you. I don't understand your values, but we don't want to antagonize you," he said, "We don't want to work and we don't care about anything else. Now get back to guarding Iris.
Of course, before that, though, Aine's 'Memory Cleaning LV1' will erase the memories of the last few ten minutes.
''d*mn it. We're proud Ilgafa's regular soldiers! I don't take orders from a bunch of furloughed adventurers...
'If you're proud, do your job! You're not going to do something stupid, leaving the mission alone!
If I was the enemy, I'd take Iris right now.
The regulars are downed by the undead and still recovering.
The adventurers are freshly mauled and not coordinated.
The townspeople are upset that the cemetery protector was broken.
If the enemy has the strength to fight, the best thing to do is to attack them now.
"-You don't think about that!
'There's no such thing as an attack in this town! If there is, I'll take the responsibility and give this life for it!
Enemy attack!
Shortly after the bearded soldier ranted, a shout rang out from across the river.
