152 Episode 152 "The Beginning Of A Trip For Three Girls And The Activation Of" High Level Cheat Skills "".Txt
A few days later.
Aine, Leticia, and Cutlass left for the resort town of Mishlila.
It was a carefree departure, borrowing a carriage from the Ilgafa lord's family.
The reason we were able to borrow a carriage was because of the great success of the 'Oohoumei Party' and the fact that we received the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing', which made the lord-san feel good about it.
Leticia said that a two-horse carriage is a luxury when there are only three of us traveling together, but Iris, who came as the representative of the lord's family, said, "If the journey is for the 'Heavenly Dragon's Representative' to connect the town of Wings, the resort and the port city of Irgafa with the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing', it's a kind of ceremony. A certain amount of ceremony would be necessary," he said and did not relent.
In the end, it was Nagi who made the decision, but there was no way he would refuse to "make the journey of his friends easier"──!
In the end, Leticia and the three of them had to leave in the carriage.
''Hmmm! It's a beautiful day.
Perfect for a second 'company trip', wouldn't you say?
Aine is happy to have both Leticia and Mr. Cutlass with her.
Leticia and Cutlass are sitting on the Gosha-dai, while Aine is checking her luggage later.
It was early morning when they left the mansion.
The good friend Cheeto's slaves and the master (Nagi) saw the three of them off with a smile.
Several hours have passed since then, and the carriage is moving along the street, swaying faintly.
It was the beginning of the 'trip with friends' that Leticia had dreamed of.
...... "...... You have really hit the nail in the coffin of my wish, Nagi-san: ......
Leticia held her cheeks, which involuntarily seemed to loosen up.
We'll have dinner together, stay at the inn and talk - I get excited just thinking about it.
What shall we do? What shall we talk about? Aine and I are going to start with a dish for three people: .......
You can't go to ....... Our journey has just begun.
Leticia realizes she's floating and shakes her head (cover) in a hurry.
We have to brace ourselves until we get to the other side.
''Aine. You're connected to Nagi-san in "Chii and Sukiru", right? In case you're wondering, call me on time every hour at ......
Hmmmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
When Leticia turned around, her eyes met with her best friend (Aine), whose expression remained loose.
She was so vivacious that she couldn't compare to Leticia earlier.
Her eyes sparkled and she hummed lightly, like she was dreaming of a fun future .......
'Um, Aine,'
What? Letitia.
Why are you so smug?
Handing the horse's reins to Cutlass, Leticia leaned toward the back of the cart.
'Ehh. What is it? Aine doesn't have a smirk on her face at all.
Aine turns toward the wall and peers into the leather bag.
It's behind her, but I can tell. Her earlobes and neck are bright red.
'Are you moaning because you're going on a trip, Letitia? Even though it's a 'chit-chara', you have to brace yourself for an all-girl trip. Hmmm...
'I don't want Aine to be the only one to say that now.
As she said it, Letitia looked at Cutlass next to her.
'Do you know anything about it, Mr. Cutlass?'
I have no idea. But you seem very happy, Lady Aine.
That means that ...... something happened that would make Aine happy.
Letitia puts her hand to her chin (chin) and thinks about it.
Something that would make her best friend (Aine) happy. Something that would make her hum. It's ...... hmmmm.
'Nagi-san.'
Bikun.
Aine's back trembled as Leticia murmured.
'...... Huh? What is the matter with you, Aine?
Hey, it's nothing.
Nagi and Aine at ......
No response.
'Nagi-san and Rita-san? No, Mr. Cecil.
Bi-bi-bi-bi-bi.
'Nagi-san, Iris-san and Raphilia-san. Leggy-san?
No response.
'Nagi and Cecil.'
Biiku, biiku, biiku. Huh?
More. Letitsier. We can't play with Aine.
I won't do it again.
Letitia put her hand over her mouth and chuckled.
'Because I had it all figured out,'
...... It's not a good idea to intrude on your master's privacy.
I'm not your slave, Mr. Nagi. I'm your best friend.
Laetitia chuckled as she looked at Aine.
'And I am also your best friend, Aine. Therefore, I can only expect you to be so pleased.
Ugh. ......
'Nagi-san and Cecil-san have become 'very good friends', haven't they? And you helped with that. Isn't that right?
Aine isn't sure either: "Aine isn't sure either: ...... I just think it's kind of true.
Aine replied, holding her hot cheeks.
Then she looked at her best friend (Letitia).
You know, ...... Letitia.
What is it?
Letitia is surprisingly naughty in case you haven't noticed.
Aine murmurs with her eyes.
''──na!
Leticia's face turned bright red.
You realize the meaning of the words you just said and you can't help but picture them in your mind. Then her body temperature suddenly spikes. Leticia hurriedly slaps her cheek and chases away the image that came to mind.
''See?''
I don't think so.
It was somewhat embarrassing, so Letitia looked away from Aine.
'But ...... this is a valuable step for Nagi and the others, isn't it?
And for Leticia, who has been watching over them for a long time, it's something she has to support. Even Leticia has had Aine's back until now.
Aine's wish is to take care of her family by becoming the "party's big sister". That includes taking care of Nagi's children.
For that reason, Aine is prepared to be in a position to give milk to Nagi's child.
Leticia thinks it's ...... a determination, or rather a desire.
...... That means that Aine's 'big sister limiter' has been lifted. Huh, it's getting fun.
I can't stop smiling.
That's why I love this party ......, Letitia mumbles without saying a word.
It's much better than the socializing and gossiping of the aristocratic society. It's fun and pleasant and warm just to be together. It's enough to make you want to thank fate for bringing you and everyone else together and that you're in a position to help everyone else.
'I don't know what it is, but it's going to be interesting!
'Oh, ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Cutlass,'
Letitia looked at Cutlass, who was sitting next to her.
'You've left me out of the mix. Let's see, this topic involves ...... Nagi's personal information, so if you can ...... ask him if you can, please ask him.
I don't mind, sir.
Cutlass smiled with a toothy grin.
''I'm like a knight protecting everyone, so as long as everyone is happy, that's all that matters!
He's a good man. Mr. Cutlass.
Letitia looked at Cutlass and laughed.
Why do all the girls gather around Nagi, all the girls who want to be friends?
This is why I want to be with them. It's really a problem for them.
I envy you your position, once and for all.
Is that so?
Sometimes I envy myself that I'm a nobleman. ......
Letitia gave a small sigh.
''Even though I'm with you all, I can't help but remember that I'm from the Viscount's family (shakuke). I'm so weak. I'm weak. I guess I'm not ready to truly abandon my position yet. ......
Aristocracy is a difficult thing, isn't it? ......
...... There's a lot to be said for a house that's been around for a long time.
Is that so?
Yes, it is.
I didn't know I was a royal princess, so it was easy for me to abandon my position, but it's not easy for someone who has lived as a nobleman all his life.
"Yes, ......, my goodness... wait a minute!
Leticia looked into Cutlass' face, feeling as if she had heard some amazing words.
''Mr. Cutlass. What did you just say? Princess? The royal family? Huh?
Oh, you didn't tell Lady Letitia that, did you?
Cutlass scratched his head in embarrassment.
It's a bastard child that His Majesty the current King of the League, King Nadal, had given birth to by his handmaiden. I've never met His Majesty, and I'm sure he's forgotten all about me. Here's a coin from the royal family.
With a pop, as if it were a cheap copper coin, Cutlass placed a golden coin in Leticia's hand.
A half-moon shaped coin engraved with the profile of a little girl - Leticia had heard of it too. It's a special one that is minted when a child is born into the royal family.
...... um. Aine? Is it true?
The skill had been activated for, at most, a dozen seconds.
But to Cutlass, it felt as if it had been stretched out dozens of times.
'Boku and Fynn, we're both one skill, aren't we, this is ......'
"Well, you'd have to be ...... us (・・・・・・) to master it.
A voice from inside Cutlass's head came from 'The Other Self (Fynn)'.
''You're very good at choosing us to be the users of this skill, aren't you?
Absolutely, sir.
"I'm surprised that you know so much about Cutlass.
That's not a very nice thing to say! Fynn.
While retorting, Cutlass was remembering what happened ten minutes ago...
Shortly before Letitia and Cutlass went into battle...
'I will distract you all. In the meantime, Mr. Cutlass will deal some damage to the enemy at ......, right?
It is all right.
Cutlass nodded as they drove down the street.
'Because the new skills that Arujidono gave me are for one person to deal with many.
You shouldn't be pushing yourself, you know?
'I don't have to defeat all my enemies, do I? Those adventurers who are being attacked are still able to fight, sir. All I have to do is to reduce the enemy's numbers or take away their ability to fight.
As he said it, Cutlass checked the skills he had in him.
(The new skill Arujidono gave him should be able to do that.)
Until the day before yesterday, what was there was an ordinary 'Ranta'.
'Ranchu' LV5
The skill to slash at random with the sword.
A multi-level attack skill for beginners.
You can increase the number of times you swing your sword. However, the hit rate is reduced by that amount.
The attack frequency is level - (minus) 1.
Nagi reworked this into the '4 Concept Cheat Skill'.
The material was the "Meditation" LV1. This is a skill that the Iturna Order gives to new members and is fairly cheap. It's also available on the market, making it a good tool for experimentation.
Meditation Lv 1
The skill to "notice" the "five senses" in "silence
Nagi took only 'notice' from this skill and made a '4 Concept Cheat Skill'. Because I used the 'Concept Extraction (Skill Stocker)', my level will not decrease ...... even if I rebuild it, but Cutlass, who was in the middle of 'rebuilding', had no time to listen to the explanation.
'I sounded quite embarrassed ...... while I was building it, but ......
I turn bright red when I think about it.
I endured it because I thought it would help Arujidono, but every time she tinkered with my skills, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to being a 'girl'. I'm happy about that, but it's also very embarrassing.
Anyway, the new skill I was able to acquire was...
Kakusei Randa, LV5 (USR + "Ultra Super Rare Plus")
(4 Concept Cheat Skills. (Extraction Concept Applied)
The skill of 'realizing' and 'cutting' at 'random' with the 'sword'
Cheat multi-level attack skill.
Using the sword as a sensor, you can attack while keeping track of your surroundings.
The enemy's movement, the feel of the ground, the flow of air - you can 'notice' all the information that surrounds you.
Increased accuracy. Increase the critical rate. The number of attacks increases for each level.
Due to certain reasons, the duration and number of attacks are limited.
The strategy is as follows.
First, Leticia invokes a light "Forced Etiquette (Manners Gear)" to distract the enemy - the adventurers who aren't participating in the battle.
After that, Cutlass activates his skill and slashes into them──that was the plan.
The strategy worked. Cutlass activated the skill and entered the battle area, but...
Activate. 'Kakusei Randa', LV5!
worldly wisdom
────
The moment he used the skill, a large amount of information flowed into Cutlass.
The shapes of the adventurers fighting, the positions and sounds of swords striking each other.
The number of demons. Positions. The movements. The direction of the eyeballs. Even the sound of an arm slicing through the wind.
And then there's the hardness of the ground and the number of grasses growing on it. Most of the peripheral information...
"Arujiddo is right about ......, as you've warned me about... ......
What flowed in was a massive amount of information, more than I could have imagined.
'......, but Arujidono told me, 'Cutlass can use this skill!
Cutlass shouted, almost overwhelmed by the information.
There was no way Cutlass's 'Arujidono' would give him a faulty skill.
Why Nagi had created this skill - it was because Cutlass had a companion who was 'in charge of information processing'.
'I want you to wake up, Fynn! The 'information firutingo'!
He's been awake for hours. I'll take care of it! Cutlass!
From deep in his chest, he heard Fynn's voice.
At the same time, Cutlass's head felt soooooo light.
The other self inside Cutlass came between him and the information brought by the 'Awakening Rampant'.
All along, Fynn has been hiding the information that 'I am a girl' from Cutlass. He has been filtering the information until now.
So we can do the same thing. You just need to select only the information that is necessary for the battle from the information that "Awakening Ranchu" is pouring in and pass it on to Cutlass. That's all there is to it.
I'm you. I know what information you need. I'll send you information on the enemy. 'Cutlass.'
Thank you, sir. Fynn.
Cutlass knows everything.
The information needed for combat. The details of your enemy's movements. Even the future movements of his allies.
It was as if he was predicting the future.
Right now, Letitia's 'Forced Civility (Manner Gears)' has just been activated. Cutlass knows what's going on on the street. The adventurers feel that they are surrounded by goblins (...).
The demons are commanding the 'Goblin Lord'. He is a goblin lord wearing a tattered helmet with horns.
I'll leave him alone for now. That's what we've been able to determine from the information flowing in. The sooner we kill all the Zaco Goblins, the better. I'm not sure if that's possible for the current Cutlass.
"...──Gi
The goblin in time opens its mouth. Before it can raise its voice, Cutlass' sword slices through its arm.
Cutlass's movements aren't particularly fast.
Just not a single one of them is lean. Not a single one. It's optimized.
'──── tii!'
The cut end of the shortsword slices through the back of the goblin's elbow. It cuts through a thick blood vessel.
It's as if time has stopped.
With an optimized movement, Cutlass heads for his next enemy. Fynn analyzes the information. He gives him a prediction of the enemy's actions. Cutlass follows his prediction and slashes at the enemy's heel. Next, his wrist. Arms.
The Zakogoblin's movements are completely captured by Fynn through "Awakening Rampant Strike LV5". As long as Cutlass doesn't stop the flow of movement. He takes away the goblins' fighting power. Cut off their limbs. Slash them.
(You were able to make a series of attacks for a level, right?)
Furthermore, even the density of the spirit has increased.
What's missing is Cutlass' own, physical abilities.
Slightly off the ideal course of movement. It's not my best move. Cutlass thinks - maybe this is something I still need to practice. With Rita-sama's guidance, could the critical rate increase a bit more .......
''Teya!''
Still, four of the five attacks were critical, just as they were intended.
Furthermore, before the opponent could respond, Cutlass began a series of attacks again.
''Giyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!''
The goblins' screams went up.
And Cutlass and Fynn's joint attack, the Combination Attack, neutralized five goblins in a few tens of seconds.
──────────────────── ...
"...... You're overdoing it, ...... Mr. Cutlass.
Letitia, who came next to me, murmured in dismay.
'I'm sorry ...... I didn't expect to be as ...... as I am too.
'It's horrible. A high level of 'Chii and Sukiru' is ......
So, there is: ............ wow.
Cutlass held his mouth.
The weakness of 'Awakening Rampant Strike LV5' is that it drains your energy. Also, it makes you sleepy.
It's because it processes a lot of information. Cutlass and Fynn, the two personalities are working at full capacity, so the brain is quite tired. The reason we use the carriage is so that Cutlass can take a nap when the need arises. ......
''Before that, as a former candidate for knighthood, I must take care of the injured, right?
''I can't believe you can do this! ''Don't forget the 'Heavenly dragon blessing'.
Cutlass and Letitia nodded to each other and approached the wounded adventurers.
Their wounds were nothing serious. It's because the rescue was so quick. But they all have blue faces. It seems that they are not afraid of Letitia and Cutlass' skills - it's not like they are afraid of them. They all have their foreheads together and have started gossiping.
''...... A demon in a place like this, after all, was the rumor true ......?
'The demons are being displaced because of a dispute between tribes of forest-dwelling sub-humans. ......
The impact of that goes so far: ......
As they were talking, they noticed Leticia and Cutlass and bowed their heads.
For now, Letitia and Cutlass started 'Thanks to the Heavenly Dragon, Manual Talk'. After pushing aside the adventurers' doubts in a reasonable manner, they began to hear the rumors (rumors) they were talking about.
According to that...
Is it the ...... struggle of the sub-human (demi-humans) tribe?
Speaking of sub-humans in the forest...
The image of the gentle blonde fellow comes to Cutlass's mind. I think I've heard that she and the same sub-human tribe live in the forest, moving around: .......
It may not be relevant, but it's probably best to tell them, just in case.
After the adventurers were treated, Cutlass and Leticia decided to wait for Aine's carriage to catch up with them.
