310 Lesson 216: Man-made Beings and Confirmation

Saki gave me two skill orbs.

Among them were the skills of the Swordmaster and the Swordmagineer, which clearly had a unique atmosphere.

The Swordmaster was a good swordmaster, but the problem was with the Swordmagineer.

[Sword of Enchantment]

A sword technique that becomes a special attack on the demon tribe and the demon king. It's not about killing, it's about killing. It has the power to defeat those who were born against God's will and return them to what they should be.

I didn't write it clearly, but I think I can only describe the demon king's personality.

A: Yes, I think so.

"Somehow, the timing is too good..."

Usually, it's just "lucky", but this time, Saki's intention is definitely intervening, so it's simply not my luck. Let's ask someone who can tell us more.

"Explain these two things to me."

"Yes. First of all, these two are called skill orbs......"

"Oh, I know that neighborhood. Please explain the contents and the reason for the gift."

“Okay, I'll explain the skills here.”

That said, what Kozaki showed me was the Skill Orb of Sword Saint (Swordmaster).

"This is a skill called Swordmaster." It was originally a blessing (gift), but it has been separated into ordinary skills by Saki-sama's hand. Originally, I heard that Saki collected the blessing (gift) that was supposed to be given to Jindo-in-sama. "

Sadly, I didn't think it was normal and interesting. The Swordmaster was going to be my blessing.

Have you collected the blessing (gift) that one childhood friend, Igawara, was supposed to give to Sakura, and the other childhood friend, Saki, collected the blessing (gift) that was supposed to be given to me?

Lily told me a little while ago that [one unique skill per person in another world], but the second exception was already revealed.

Later, Saki said that he had returned the blessing (gift) to a unique skill, but it wasn't that easy, was it? "What kind of tricks did you use..."

"Saki-sama said," I've kept it till now, but I've found a way to return it. "

"It's not like it belongs to me, though..."

At least, Saki-sama thinks this skill belongs to Jindo-in-sama.

If you received it as a blessing, you refused to accept it anyway, so it would not be right to say my skill.

But why did you come to me with such an uninteresting ordinary skill as [Swordmaster]......

"For now, I understand the story." So, what is the effect of this skill? "

"I heard that you can become a master of swords just by getting it." I've never seen Saki use her skills, but she said she could use special attacks like comics. "

"Huh..."

The rating of Sword Saint (Swordmaster) had just been revised upward.

Between the words "You can be a master of swords" and "You can be a master of swords like a cartoon", there is a wall that is too big to be crossed.

And just a little bit, I don't have to think it's a skill that's right for me.

Would you mind if I added it?

Here, Ekaterina, who had been listening in silence until now, called out.

A supplement to a skill description is...

Have you ever seen the effect of this skill?

"Yes, I have seen the occasions when I use the blessing (gift) when I am acting together with Saki-san."

Since Ekaterina is Saki's companion, it's no surprise that she knows the effect.

"Just by wielding a sword, I was producing something like [Wind Magic], or apparently cutting something harder than a sword." Later, as soon as I pulled the sword out of the sheath, I saw that the sword was again in the sheath and the object was slashed. "

"It's like a comic book..."

It's all the episodes I've seen in comics.

The first one looked like a long-range attack similar to Flying Sword Technique, but instead of flying the Slashing Strike itself, it would fly the Wind Pressure and Shock Wave type. Fantasy swordsmen.

The second and third are not so much Special Attacks as moves used by masters to show off their prowess. He's following the laws of physics, or he looks suspicious.

There are others, but I didn't get the chance to show them to you.

I'll check it myself.

... let's try a lot of skill effects later. I'm a little curious.

“Do you have any questions about the first skill?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Although the evaluation had improved, to be clear, the < Swordmaster > was the front seat.

The most important thing I wanted to hear was information about the Tsubaki sword.

"Yes, this is a skill called" "Fujima" "." The sword that you wield with this skill has the power to kill demons and demon king souls and restore them to their rightful state. "

What's the right look?

The Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings will return to their original humans, and all other demons will return to nothing.

Sole, it's a line that the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings don't come out unless they know they're ex-humans, right? By the way, you know that other demon tribes are created with the Devil King's Mark (Kerth).

It looked like Saki had some pretty detailed information about the Demon King. Maybe there was a source comparable to the storyteller (Lily).

“Why are you giving me that skill at this time?”

"Saki was concerned about the possibility that Jindo-in's acquaintance might have become a demon king." If so, he said, because with this skill we can avoid the worst. ”

"...... I was planning to go to the Demon King tomorrow"

"I'm glad we made it."

It's as if you know what's going on with me.

Even if it is said that it is a coincidence that comes from good intentions, it is difficult to believe it easily.

The messengers of Saki, Ekaterina, are suspicious, but since Ekaterina does not have the means to communicate with Saki, it is irrelevant.

A: It seems that Kozaki entered the detection range of the map before the master decided to go to the demonic realm, so it's a coincidence.

Is that so? "I guess that's a coincidence after all..."

Alta, I need you to add Saki to the report when I read it on the map.

A: Yes, I understand.

I have asked Alta to report when she detects a presence on the map that meets certain criteria. Specifically, they were: Race: Demon Race, Title: Hero, etc.

I think it would be better to give a little higher priority to those related to Saki, so I think Saki should be added to the report.

“By the way, do you know where this skill came from and how to get it?”

"I'm sorry." It seems that I can't say why, so I haven't heard from Saki-sama. He said he would explain it to Saki himself if necessary. "

Is Saki coming here?

When Ekaterina arrived, I accepted Saki's apology.

In the first place, I know that Saki's hostility is the result of mental interference by blessings (gifts), so there is no isolation against Saki individuals.

If Saki wants to see me, there's no reason not to see me.

Blessings (gifts), which are the cause of hostility, will also be separated and harmless.

"That is a story related to the message from Saki-sama." If there are no other skill questions, I would like to move to the message, is that okay? ”

"Oh, please."

"I will give you the message from Saki-sama as it is." It's been a long time, Jin-kun. It's a blossom. I'm sorry I turned my enmity on you the day I was summoned. As an apology, I gave Kozaki a skill orb. It's not a substitute for that, but I want you to tell me how you feel right now whether Jin-kun will forgive me or not. I don't think it's enough to apologize yet, so I have other 'people' and 'information' available. I'm sure Jin-kun will be pleased. However, since I need to give the "information" directly to Jin-kun, I need to know if I can or do not want to see him. In the former case, I will also go to Ren-kun with the "human resources". In the latter case, I will only send "human resources", and "information" will be my next opportunity. Ah, please tell Kozaki the answer to your question. I sincerely hope that the day will come when I can meet Jin-kun again. 'That's all for now. "

It was quite a long message, and I don't think the letter would have been better, but in the atmosphere, Kozaki probably conveyed every word without making a mistake.

To summarize, "Tell me whether to forgive or not", "Tell me whether I can meet you or not", "I will give you skill orbs and talents", "If you meet me, I will tell you secret information".

The last one sounds like a barter, but I don't think Saki will do such a small job, so there's a reason we really need to keep it a secret.

“I apologize for the short notice, but may I ask for your answer?”

"Oh, my answer is, 'I forgive Saki, so I don't care if you come to see me.'"

Thank you very much. Saki-sama will be delighted as well.

"Yes! It was Saki-san's wish to get forgiveness from Jindo-sama, so I'm sure she will be very happy!"

In the words of Ekaterina, the four envoys of Saki also nod strongly. "I'm so sorry..."

"However, you have to come to see me within a week or two." I have plans. "

"Yes, I will tell Saki-sama."

Well, I think I've finished using Kozaki, but before I go, I need to ask you a few questions.

“Yes, I will answer anything I know.”

If you're going to answer anything, you can answer in the color of your pants... no, maybe not normally.

The Queen (Ekaterina) of one country, who is the messenger of Saki, has become an underwear to show that she is not hostile to us. I don't think that the artificial creature (Homunculus), which is also the messenger of Saki, will show shame to that extent.

Who is Kozaki and why is she acting like Saki when she was little?

“I am an organism called Homunculus, created by alchemy. The owner of < Alchemy > created me based on Saki-sama's factors according to her instructions. It is based on Saki-sama's factors, but it is only her appearance that is similar, and she does not inherit her abilities. I heard that the appearance was adjusted to make it easier to distinguish it from the real Saki-sama."

It was not made to resemble a blossom, but an artificial creature based on a blossom (Homunculus).

I said that I adjusted my age, but when I grow up, it looks like Saki's appearance is the same, so it seems that it doesn't make much sense... Alta, does the artificial creature (Homunculus) grow?

A: It depends on the settings at the time of production. Kozaki is not set to grow physically.

In that case, unless Saki is rejuvenated, she won't look the same as Saki.

“The next question. Where did Saki come from? Is Saki there?"

“I come from a country called the Kingdom of Tris. At the time of my departure, Saki-sama was also in the Tris Kingdom. The Kingdom of Tris is on a different continent from this one. Saki is currently on her way to the Meltis territory of the Kingdom of Kastar with a ship carrying“ human resources ”.”

The realm of Meltis is one of the territories of the Kingdom of Kastar, and is based on the Kingdom of Meltis, which was destroyed by the Kingdom of Erdia before the summoning of Heroes.

It is the only territory facing the sea in the territory of the current Kastar Queen.

"I know where Saki-sama's boat is, so I can show Saito-in to Saki-sama, but Saki-sama said, 'Please, wait until I get there.'"

"If Saki says so, let's wait."... by the way, if I told you I wouldn't see Saki, why was Saki supposed to be on the boat? "

I'm already aboard and on my way to Meltis territory. If I say 'I won't see you', you won't be able to keep on board. And it will be difficult to get off.

"In that case, I was going to fly home with Saki-sama because of my skills as a bird."

Yes, Kochira is Kozaki's skill.

Morphological changes (shape shift)

Ability to freely change into multiple forms included in a skill. The altered form allows you to use effects equal to the corresponding skill.

It's a kind of integration skill, and it contains skills that are appropriate for the future of change.

If you have the form of a bird, you can fly even if you don't have the skills.

"That sounds interesting. Can you show me what the bird looks like?"

“Yes, I understand.”

Kozaki nodded and unhesitatingly took off the dress she was wearing.

... that's right. When things change, clothes get in the way, right? I completely forgot.

By the way, Kozaki's pants were all white without decoration. I haven't even heard of it, but I know the color of the pants.

Speaking of which, Saki didn't wear any underwear other than white. Even though it doesn't have to match the blossoms...

Without hesitation, Kozaki's body, which also took off her pants, was enveloped in light, and at the next moment, it was like a white big bird. Sounds like a migratory bird, but I've never seen it before. The birds of this world?

A: No, it doesn't seem to be an existing bird.

C 'mon ~

Oh, you don't speak any human language, do you?

Normally, birds don't have the ability to speak human languages (except for some exceptions, such as inko).

"Thank you. You can go back now."

When I said that, Kozaki was once again enveloped in light and returned to being a girl, but naked.

"That's all for me, but what about Saki?" Shall we rest here? "

"I'm the same Saki-san's ambassador, so I'll treat you like a national guest"

"No, I want to give Saki some good news as soon as possible, so I'll be back soon."

Although Ekaterina said that she would be treated as a national guest, Kosaki chose to return without any interest.

"I'm sorry. I want to go home early, but I don't want to stop and ask questions..."

"No. Saki-san has instructed you to follow him first, so there is no problem." If you have any other orders, just say so. ”

"No, I don't particularly want to give orders." Oh, let me just add one last question. What were you going to do if I didn't forgive Saki and told her to die or kill her? "

It is not strange to accept a certain kind of provocation to make a person who looks like a child of a resentful opponent as a messenger.

If I hadn't forgiven Saki, Kozaki would have been quite dangerous.

"Of course, I will die. The death of the messenger will be passed on to Saki-sama, so at the time of my death, I will be judging that Jindo-inn did not forgive me." In addition, I expected that killing me in the form of Saki-sama at a young age would reduce Saki-sama's aperitif even slightly. "

"I see..."

It was really some kind of provocation.

Instead of being woven into danger, it made sense to die.

I'm sorry to put it this way, but being an artificial creature (Homunculus) is the only treatment I'm allowed to take.

Since the question was over, Kozaki was to return home soon.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Oh, please say hello to Saki.

“Yes, I will tell you.”

Kozaki put his belongings in the box and flew away from Sanokia Royal Castle in the form of a bird.

After I saw off Kozaki, I returned to Kastar's Mansion.

While eating a slightly late lunch, I talked with the different world groups of Sakura, Mio, and Rin who were eating as well.

It should be noted that talks about Scarlett, Lily, Saki and Kozaki have already unfolded via Alta.

Saki-chan is no different from the rest of the world

Rin, my sister, naturally knows Saki.

In the first place, the house of Saki and me are next to each other, so the relationship between Saki and Rin can also be called childhood familiarity. And as you can see from Rin calling her "Saki Onee-chan", the two are quite close.

"Huh? When you first heard about Master's childhood friend, was that your first impression?" Are you the kind of person who would make a man-made creature (homunculus) in the original world? "

"No, I said 'no change' because of Saki's dedication to her brother." The scale is growing, but the behavior itself hasn't changed. ”

Certainly, depending on the way the conversation was connected, it sounded like Mio had misunderstood.

The flowing stone blossoms are not likely to have been made by man-made creatures (homunculus) in the original world. "After all, if there was a reason I had to make it, I might have made it..."

"Saki-san, if you think it's for your brother's sake, I'll make it plain that it's not normal. In a different world with different laws and common sense, even if Saki's shackles come off, it's no wonder."

The important point here is that "I thought (...) (...) I did (...) (...)". Since it is Saki's discretion to ask me nothing, it is not uncommon to be thankful and confused.

Later, Rin seemed unaware, but "the shackles come off" is a very bad treatment.

It's an amazing expression, but the result is a tribute to unique skills.

"I don't like hearing people... but can't you deny that you're contributing?" He used to want to give me presents. There was something happy and something unpleasant about it..... "

"For example, what kind of thing did you get...?"

The cherry asked me, so I try to remember the actual gift.

"What made me happy was the practical supplies that would be useful for my hobbies." A lure set from when I was having a hard time fishing. I was particularly happy with the night vision goggles when I was touring the ruins. "

"There are many things that seem subtly expensive." Are you rich, childhood friend? "

Night vision goggles as well as lures are quite expensive depending on the object.

And what Saki gives me is often the faster price to count from the top.

"I'm not familiar with Saki's wallet, but I've never seen him struggle with money."

"I've heard from Saki-san that she has personal financial resources. They say it's legal."

"What are the legitimate financial resources of high school girls..." Is it a stock or something? "

I don't think Saki would lie to me or Rin, so it's definitely legal.

Besides, you know I wouldn't be happy to give you something I bought for weird money.

"When Saki comes over here, why don't you ask him?" There were some things that weren't very fashionable..... "

Could it be that the gift of the unhappy was also expensive?

"The gifts from Saki were mostly expensive products." The only exceptions are handmade items. "

Saki-chan doesn't make it cheap just because it's handmade.

"That's right." I was surprised to learn the price of the ingredients. "

Even if there is no price for the product, the result is the same because the ingredients are expensive.

"Besides, I said 'something unhappy' earlier, but rightly, it's 'something I don't like'." Even though I'm playing games at home with my best friend, I don't want Akekon to play with me. Even though I'm playing card games, I don't want to get expensive cards that I can't use. "

I know some people want it, but I don't want it anymore. It's a very expensive gift.

Because it's a gift, it can't be sold, and it's destined to be put in storage or locked in.

"Isn't that a contradiction between expensive and unusable cards...?"

"I have a question for Sakura. Can I use a card worth more than 1 million yen to play anxiously?"

"A million...!? It's a paper card...?"

“Oh, sometimes a paper card smaller than a bill is worth a million yen or more.”

"I can't believe it..." There are such cards and people who give them as gifts..... "

Many people in the original world know the former, but very few know the latter.

I was also surprised when I was handed a 1 million yen card. At least put it in the sleeve.

"In that regard, Akekon is tens of thousands of yen at most, so it's still better than one million yen."

"Mio-chan, what is Akekon...?"

Sakura didn't seem to know about Akekon. "Gee, interpersonal, ah..."

“It stands for Arcade Controller and is the controller you use when playing melee games. It mimics an enclosure controller in a gaming center, and although you need to be familiar with the operation, it also has the advantage of being able to operate the pad more delicately than a normal gaming controller.”

"Does the game controller cost you tens of thousands of yen...?"

"Yes, the expensive items cost tens of thousands of yen." The gay neighborhood is really a framed… comma-seconds battle, so it's inevitable that there will be a lot of people who are obsessed with things and the environment. ”

"Oh, is that so..."

Mio answers Sakura's questions, but he is a soloist who obviously knows the details.

It's too detailed and I think the cherry is slightly pulled.

Could it be that Mio was an Akekonite gamer?

"Yeah, there were times like that." I should have tried using it for my husband. Even though I got the corner, it's a waste not to use it. The odds of winning may have gone up. "

"At least, I had no choice but to use Akekon alone." Since three people gathered at the house and shared the controller and played with it, it would be interesting to bring Akekon in, right? Besides, I'm sorry if I lost, but I didn't have to win that much. The odds of winning are all the same.... "

When competing against Asai and Higashi, they often competed for only their strengths with all possible conditions.

Unlike all three of them, they are good at winning and losing. That was fun.

It should be noted that while Asai is the strongest in pure genre gaming, I have my share if there are random items. The stronger the strategic element, the eastern one wins.

"A rival is a rival." That said, it's amazing how your master and strength can be antagonized. "

"If there is too much difference in ability, it will be difficult to interact as a friend."

In other words, it is because the strength is reversed that I became a best friend. Of course, it's an absolute must.

"I'm satisfied with that." Including two of my best friends and two of my childhood acquaintances, the people I interacted with in Japan with my husband were not leaky and unusual. Exactly, he's the kind of guy who calls his friends. "

"I don't want the other three to be included in the group of friends......"

Iwahara is a childhood friend, not a friend. I can't give in to that.

"Um, Mio-san, my sister and I are included in the 'normal', right?"

Huh?

Huh?

Rin, I'm stubbornly insisting on saying 'normal' about myself...

In the afternoon, Maria and I moved to the subspace of "Wind Dragon Tempest".

"Now, let's start the experiment."

The subspace that exists only to trap the disaster dragon is an ideal space to experiment without being damaged by the surrounding environment or external interference. What we want to prevent this time is interference from the outside.

Maria, let me out.

Yes.

My assistant (Maria) was a little away from me and took out the petrified Four Heavenly Kings (Naharti) from the Infinite Storage (Inventory).

I was thinking of making Nakhalti unrecoverable on the Giant Island, erasing the demonic personality and restoring the human personality, but I had to put it behind me due to the "Demon King Holly Case" afterwards.

Although it could not be recovered, if it was left as it was, it would be interfered with by the demon king and its personality would be erased, so it was petrified to prevent interference, and it was thrown into the Infinite Storage.

In this experiment, I was going to wipe Nakhalti's personality with a [Tsubaki (Futuma) Sword].

It was a demonic skill, so Alta couldn't grasp the details of when the skill was activated. I used it on the demon king in the hit production, and if the result was different from what I expected, I couldn't even hit my eyes.

Although there was a difference between the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings, it was the same in that the demon tribe was stripping them of their personality, so it was just right to check the effect of the [Demon (Futuma) Sword] before using it on the Demon King.

Even after I had time, I was right to put Nakhalti behind me (relentlessly).

"'Anti-Stone'"

"Ugh..."

Maria activates the magic of "Antistone" and unlocks Nakhalti's Petrification.

Just like before the petrification, Nakhalti, who was unable to recover, was moaning.

For the record, I couldn't activate the effect when I was in a Petrified state.

Basically, no physical changes other than the removal of petrochemicals are accepted during petrochemical operations. The Demon (Futuma) Sword contains an effect that turns the demon race back into a human, that is, changes the flesh, so it becomes null and void during petrification.

I took out the [Anglo-Spirit Sword Unfinished] from the [Infinite Storage (Inventory)].

The sword skill is a sword technique, so it cannot trigger an effect without going through the sword.

This would be a structural defect of skill. Simply put, they slashed with their swords. Only if the opponent was alive would the demons be struck down.

To restore the Demon Race, you must slay the Demon Race once. And if I slash them, most of them will die. I don't want to call this a defect.

Then it would have been a little easier to just hit her...

While thinking about such a thing, I separated the [English Spirit Sword Unfinished] from the [Spirit Sword Jue Shi].

There were several solutions to the flaws in the Sword of Tsubaki, but this time I tried to use a slightly different kind. That is the sword that has no substance, the "Spirit Sword of the Last Age".

He slashed the opponent with an empty sword and said, "I only slashed your evil soul."

Yeah.

"Ugh... ah!"

This time, it was an experiment, so I omitted the face and slashed the moaning Nakhalti.

Ahhhhhhh!

Immediately after being slaughtered, Nakhalti began to scream and convulse.

And then, something like a black centipede rises from your body. It doesn't seem to be harsh or harmful, but I don't feel like touching it.

"Ahhhh... ahhh... ahhh..."

After waiting for a while, the screams, convulsions, and jerks subsided. By the time it was fully healed, Nakhalti's flesh was completely human.

"Maria"

Yes.

When I called, Maria did the last finishing touches in an instant. Its name is < Slavery >.

Now, let's see the results of the experiment (status).

Name: Mikage Baba

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Race: Human

Title: Jin's Slave

Skills:

The name, the race, had been demonized before.

It is assumed that the age will not change. I asked the daughter of a former demon tribe, Naruse, because the age of the Four Heavenly Kings was the same as the age before the demonization.

The lack of skill is probably due to the fact that it is the soul of the Demon Clan (Nakhalti) who gained experience in this world, not the original human soul. It was only natural that the demon race should disappear more than the [undone] demon race.

Alta, do you have any soul or memory defects?

A: No, the body and soul are in perfect condition. Rather than "restore", it seems to be a phenomenon close to "rewind".

By using abilities, it is possible to "restore demon souls and flesh to humans."

With regard to the soul, the normal reversible changes can be undone, and if there is a shortage, it can be repaired and reformed, but completely irreversible changes such as overwriting cannot be undone.

With regard to the flesh, it is possible to become a human being if the "Rebirth (Reverse)" created by Sakura is possible, but it is more correct to say that you will be reborn as a human rather than returning to the original.

The former is called "restoration," and the latter is called "re-change," and strictly speaking, it is not "reverting (·)."

However, with a sword, both the soul and the flesh can be restored [before becoming a demon]. In terms of personality, the part that is supposed to have disappeared has also returned. I don't know the reason.

In other words, in terms of "returning the demon race to the human race," the Demon (Futuma) Sword has the power to surpass even abilities.

Where on earth did you find this incredible skill, Saki?

A: As a reminder, the annihilation of the Four Heavenly Kings by the [Futuma (Futuma) Sword] will be treated in the same way as a crusade by a hero with a blessing (gift), and it seems that the Four Heavenly Kings cannot be replenished.

Exactly, it was a trump card against the Demon Race and the Demon King.

"Uu, um...... This is......"

Here Nakhalti, no, the shadow woke up.

Waking up so early meant that there was almost no burden on the original humans when the Demon (Futuma) Sword struck down the demon race. It was all over the place.

"... heh? I should have blown myself up, but I'm still alive?"

It seems that Mikami was working as a female college operative in Japan. He died because he blew up the weapons factory of a terrorist organization. The character is thick.

Apparently, I only had memories until just before I died, and none of Nakhalti's memories remained.

"Huh!? Why are you naked?!"

Needless to say, prisoners are disarmed.

Nakhalti looked like an operative, hiding things all over his body. Since it was troublesome, I decided to remove all of my clothes when throwing them into the Infinite Storage.

Of course, it doesn't imitate when it's taken out of the Infinite Storage (Inventory).

In other words, both Nakhalti and Shinobi remained naked from the time they appeared.

Maria finished in a flash because she was naked from the beginning.

After that, I explained it appropriately to the shadows, made them accept that they had become slaves, and sent them to the labyrinth.

In the labyrinth, students will learn the common sense of this world and receive training for new recruits.

After that, I checked the effect of my skills by playing with the Sword Saint (Swordmaster) in subspace because it was a corner. This is definitely the skill that was supposed to come to me. I'm so used to it.
