205 Episode 205 "High Difficulty" Escape Skill Experiment "By Rita And Letizia".Txt
All right, then. We'll be on our way.
"Yes, sir. Lady Letitia.
An hour after Nagi and the others left, Rita and Leticia also left the house in the 'port city of Irgafa'.
''Let's activate it then. ''True Consciousness Sharing [Mind Linkage True]!
Rita activated her skills.
Staring at her hand, she locked the door. As it is, she closes the gate and locks it further with the lock.
''You said that this skill can take 'video (howga)' ...... is this correct?'''
Rita murmured, and a window appeared in front of her.
The image on the screen was Rita's hands, all white. Until it locked the door and locked the gate with a lock, it showed exactly the scene that Rita wanted to 'record'.
'...... amazing. Is this what you mean by 'video' ......?
What's going on? Mr. Rita.
Yeah. The scene I saw is still intact. The part where I lock the house and lock the gate. I just need to send this to Nagi.
As soon as Rita sends the 'video', Nagi's message comes back. 'Good job. I confirmed it.' Rita immediately replied, 'Be careful, Nagi and others. I got a reply from Nagi right away, so I'll reply to you too...
"Rita, Rita, Rita! What's wrong with you?!
...... haha.
Rita came to herself.
This is not good. This 'True Consciousness Sharing 《Mind Linkage True》' is a dangerous skill.
It can send words in a conversational format to people connected by this skill. They can even send videos.
But Rita, who is very loyal, doesn't know when to end the conversation. She feels too connected to her master. It seems like we can talk forever.
"...... 'True Consciousness Sharing' ends at ...... and
Rita closed the skill and sighed.
'Anyway, the skill experiment was a success. Lady Letitia.
Really? Good for you.
A curious look on Leticia's face.
She carried her pack on her back, checked the sword on her hip, and then looked at the gate lock.
''That's an amazing skill, even so. To be able to record the scene where you locked it, as it was.''
Yeah. Now I won't have to worry about 'whether I locked the door or not'.
This was Nagi-san's and Aine's idea, wasn't it?
I locked the door and he said I could 'log' it so I could go out without a care in the world. He said I would have a 'log' of what was going on, so I could check it out if I was concerned.
Since the Nagis have just left, we can contact them through "True Consciousness Sharing, Mind Linkage True". This is how we can exchange messages and videos. It is as if I am talking to Nagi right in front of me. I think it's a really great skill.
But the first use of the new "consciousness-sharing" skill is to "check the lockdown", which is very Nagi-like. Muttering this, Rita smiles. As if to reaffirm that she loves her master and this party.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Rita-san.
I'm on it. Lady Letitia.
...... You know what, Rita?
Yes, sir.
How about we stop using honorific language for the duration of this trip?
...... Huh? But I'm Nagi's slave and Lady Letitia is a nobleman, right?
I'm a member of your party. And it's not very convincing to be called an aristocrat by all the non-standard people.
'So, but ......'
Yeah, and then there's this: ......
Leticia's cheeks flushed and she looked away.
'I made a promise to Nagi-san,' she said. I'm sure you've heard of this," he said. ...... "Let me name the first child of Nagi-san and the others. Rita-san, you heard me, right?
Yes!
With a thud, Rita's heart rang.
She had heard about it from Nagi a long time ago, around the time Princess Claudia had come to the 'Port City of Ilgafa'.
At that time, it still didn't feel real.
But ...... now, it's different. It could happen at any time.
And so. I don't want to tell the child I'm ...... a godmother that I've been treating your mother like a slave! Wa. I want to say that we were properly equal and that there was ...... ............ that way.
"............ wasn't yes ...... ...... yeah
Rita and Letitia turned bright red and slumped over.
They could feel their hearts pounding, pounding.
Something's wrong. Something is wrong.
We're about to embark on a journey, so why are we in this mood?
I'll be at ............ for the rest of the trip. ......
............ uh-huh. No honorifics, I guess. Letitia.
"............ phew.
Rita and Leticia let out a long sigh.
'Nah, there's something funny in the air. Let's go, Rita.'
Yeah. We have to get to the next town by the end of the day, right?
They looked at each other and then gushed.
Then they headed out of the harbor town and onto the city road...
Rita and Leticia began their journey to Metekal, the commercial city.
Well, we have some things to do before we get to Metecar.
It's an experiment in your 'getaway skills' that Nagi gave me.
Leticia and Rita called up the skill inside of them.
''What I got is 'Rapid Training Lv 1'.
"Rapid Growth Lv 1
Skills to 'grow' 'plants' 'quickly'
You can temporarily speed up the growth of a plant by sending magical power into it.
The target plant will return to its original state after a certain amount of time.
''So it can create obstacles, so it's useful for escaping.
Mine's a little confusing, don't you think?
The Great Escape, Lv 1
The skill to 'cleanly' 'escape' from 'dangerous situations'
It can show you the best route to take for your getaway.
As the level increases, it also adds journey times, weather and transit directions.
...... Sure, I'm not sure what you mean by that.
'But Nagi gave it to me. You'll know it when you use it.
'Yes. If the demons come out, you can go to .......
"Piggyaaaah!
The moment Letitia murmured that, a demon jumped out of the forest.
They were large rabbits with horns - it was the 'Horn Rabbit'.
''Pigaaa!'' Guaaaah! "Ggaaaaah!
"............ huh?
Rita and Letitia sighed.
'Piggya?'
'It's not Piggya ....... Not at all.
We can't practice our getaway skills with you guys.
You can get away with it if you run: ......
''Teeee! Hold on, hold on!
"Gogah! "Ggaaaaah!
They defend the injured adventurers while quickly attacking them.
We just fought the Black Hound a while ago. I remember their attack pattern. On top of that, these guys move only as slowly as the "expert goblins" on their backs. They can't even catch Rita's movements.
"Black Hound and Master Goblin - they're toying with a demon that moves at high speed?
......, what a great move.
...... 'Blackhound' with your bare hands ......?
(............ dont do this.)
We can't be too obvious. I guess I should keep my distance here.
Thinking that, Rita again activated her "brilliant escape".
I turned my back on the demons and started running down the street as it was - but...
What is this... You're fast!
The arrows on the ground indicate the best course to take. The ground gently catches Rita's feet and pushes them back with just enough elasticity. It's as if the ground was prepared just for Rita.
''──── Gogya──! "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
'Come after me if you're sick of this! Demons!
He challenged the 'goblins' and 'blackhounds' shouting behind him.
Even though I run backwards, Rita is still faster than me. I don't feel like she can catch me.
Nevertheless, the four pairs of "goblins" and "blackhounds" are still chasing after Rita in a straight line. I've pulled away enough from the adventurers. Close enough to be able to cheat even if I used my cheat skills.
Rita looks forward.
Ahead. There's an unnatural stretch of grass on the side of the street.
That's probably a 'prompted growth' and a quick growth tussock.
If that's the case──she should be (...) waiting (...) there (...) for you (・・・・)!
Please! Letitia!
Rita kicked the ground.
I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
The next moment, a silver long sword cut off the grass on the side of the street.
''Over here, you demons! Look at me!
"'Gugga!
The grass dances. The demons turn their gazes in unison.
The one ahead of them is the figure of a girl who has put away her sword and straightened her back in a polite manner.
''Activate! ENFORCED MANNER GEASSES I will not allow you to greet me while I'm mounted! Hello! It's Letitia-Milfe!
Zsaaaaahhhh ────!
The black hound came to a sudden stop.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
And...
"Gag." "Gawd? "Google." "Giggling." "Giggling! "Gugga ────!
The master and the rider neatly lined up and bowed back.
'Now! Activate the 'alter ego attack [Extended Army]'!
Then Rita's jumping kick came down, altered into three: ────
『『『『『『『『 geeeaaaaahhhh ────!!!! 』』』』』』』』
The chorus of the demon's decapitation chorus echoed through the streets.
...... Somehow, you managed to experiment with your 'escape skills'.
I've found ...... useful.
After that, he had the wounded adventurers meet up with the carriage and thanked me, and then he cheated on me about the skills he used...
Rita and Letitia began to make their way down the street again.
'You've heard a lot of information from the adventurers, haven't you?
''I've never seen such a powerful enemy,'' she said. It's true that I've never heard of a combination of 'Black Hound' and 'Master Goblin' before.
"I can't believe a demon rides a demon. ...... 'Riding demons' or ....... If it were a Nagi, it might be called 'demons evolving'.
Maybe something unusual is happening after all.
With a complicated expression on their faces, Rita and Leticia continued to walk side by side.
During their journey so far, they had achieved enough.
They were also able to help people in need.
We were also able to experiment with the 'Splendid Escape' and 'Prompted Cultivation'.
With the Flamboyant Escape, you could escape from the enemy with a cleaner line.
With "Prompt Nurturing", you could quickly grow plants and hide in them.
Both of these skills were very useful.
''But ...... this?''
For all intents and purposes, it's more of a ...... 'getaway skill'
"'Ambush' skills" (right?)!
Rita and Leticia's voices overlapped with each other.
When I got back to my stance, I attacked from behind a plant that I had "Prompted to Grow", after gaining distance with a "Brilliant Escape".
It was the perfect "Ambush" combo.
If this combo is done, frankly, there is no need to run away.
That's why this is not an 'escape' skill, but an 'ambush' skill, pretending to run away.
...... "...... Why does Nagi-san have such an outrageously powerful skill all over the place: ......
It can't be helped. It's Nagi.
You have a lot of sense!
If it's ...... Nagi, I'm going to take it all in.
Rita mumbled, holding her chest.
'All the skills Nagi has created for me, and all the things Nagi has made me stronger, you know. I've already decided to live with Nagi. Whether it's the 'escape skill' or the 'ambush skill', as long as it helps to protect Nagi, that's all that matters!
...... Sometimes I envy you guys.
Squinting as if seeing a dazzling sight, Leticia laughed.
I'm sure that to be able to love and believe in Nagi that much, ...... that kind of feeling may be the true happiness of .......
Even Letitia will feel that way at some point in time. I'm sure.
No, no, Nagi-san and I are best friends. I mean, it doesn't have to be like that!
...... Huh?
What?
"[............]
'Oh, oh, yes. Wow, wow, you mean I can find someone like Nagi for you too, right? I know! Yes, I know what I'm doing!
............ Letitia.
Wah, wah, wah, wah! I'm so out of line! Forget it! Please, please forget it!
'Oh, I just got a message from Nagi. 'The Original Brave and the Original Brave' - hmmm.
'Heh, I won't forgive you if you reply in a weird way! Rita, are you listening to me!
'I know. It's better to talk about these things with Aine, you know.
Absolutely not. Rita! Hey, you're gonna listen to me...
Leticia, her face red, reaches out to hold Rita down.
Rita easily dodges it and proceeds at a trot down the street.
Thus, Rita and Leticia's "escape skill" experiment is over──.
They continue their journey to the commercial city of Metecal.
