144 Episode Nine: My skills...

Right now, we were sitting in the Adventurer Alliance reception room.

I just tried to report to the guild receptionist and get away with it, but I knew I couldn't.

I hope it ends soon ~.

Thinking of that, one old man came in.

"You broke through the dungeon?

I'm the guild leader, so I was wondering if I could use some more polite language?

Well, adventurers would go up, and there's no choice.

Besides, it's a good impression you don't look so capable. I think I'm going to ask you a hard question to answer.

I observed the guild leader who came in, thinking, etc.

"Yes."

"Nevertheless, I had no idea that two dungeons would be broken in such a short period of time..."

Oh, you're just about to take it to that topic.

"Huh? Two dungeons? What do you mean?

I was surprised a little deliberately.

"Oh, you don't know. As a matter of fact, a misty dungeon was broken a little further from here last night."

"Huh? Who stepped on it?

You don't know, but I ask questions on purpose.

That's an appeal that I don't know.

Oh, but on the contrary, do I get suspicious?

Well, this old man wouldn't have to worry that much.

"That's what I don't know. They said Leons Muldeen might have done it, but he was trying a different dungeon."

Oh, looks like you cleared my suspicions right away after all.

"Yes, that day is just the day we defeated the boss on the tenth floor."

"Hey, what are you talking about? You guys cleared the 10th to 30th floors in two days?

"Yes, I am. I'm not strong except for the last angel, so I was able to go smoothly."

I'll be honest with you around here because it's something you'll find out as soon as you find out even if you're lying.

"Right... boulder, you're just stepping through the dungeon once. So, you're really not involved in the fog dungeon, are you?

"I can't. How do you attack two dungeons at the same time?

Normally, you can't, can you?

"Well, you do. Oh, I don't know if I'll find you soon. My lord tells me to report who broke through quickly, but I don't care what you think, I can't do it right away..."

I see. I knew you'd be desperate to find the killer.

Well, good luck finding someone other than me.

"Then I'm done reporting, so is it okay to go home?

"Yeah? Yeah, I'm fine. I'll report the dungeon attack to the top."

"Thank you"

"Speaking of which, Leons is in the guild, isn't he?

"Yes, I do, though?

"Come back to the Alliance later because you'll get a higher rank"

Oh, speaking of which, does it rank better?

That's a little shame because I was thinking of lifting it up with Bell.

"You don't mind an Imperial Guild, do you?

"Oh, it's all right anywhere"

"Okay. Bye."

Now that we're done, I've taken the two of you on a transfer.

The transfer was in front of my room.

"All right, he's home."

"You, last night..."

"Hey! I don't know who's listening to you."

I held my mouth in haste because Frank was about to say something extra.

"Oh, sorry."

"We'll talk about that another time. In the meantime, you're gonna be tired today and we're gonna break it up."

I'm sorry because I don't have enough energy left to explain my plan to you two from now on.

"Oh, okay."

"Okay. Master, it was fun! Please invite me back!

"When you get a chance."

That said, when would it be if we were to step through the next dungeon?

I'm home.

"Welcome home"

"Welcome home. Did you enjoy the dungeon offense with your friends?

"... Huh? Why is my uncle here?

You're welcome with Belle, you're surprised I didn't expect to see it again!

"Well, why do you think? Can't imagine?

"Uh... that you've been attacking mountain dungeons?

"No, no. I wanted to ask you about the fog dungeon that was attacked yesterday."

"Misty dungeons? I don't know... I was fighting the boss on the 10th floor yesterday in a dungeon in the mountains, right?

I wondered if this answer was harsh on my uncle...... while trying to make the same excuse as when I was head of the guild.

"But Leo can do it, can't he?

"Once again ~. You're buying me too much!

"Well, if Leo wants to keep it hidden, fine. I kind of understand Leo's purpose. Didn't the dungeon collapse naturally? I'll keep that for you. Maybe if this rumor spreads all over the empire in a week, Leo won't pay that much attention."

Well, I knew it was impossible to delude you.

I appreciate your suggestion.

This time, I want to hide what I broke through, because I want them to search for meaningless killers and buy time, and because they're too conspicuous to understand the war to the average person, so I appreciate that response.

"It's not a rumor, really. What isn't? And I'm just saying thank you, honestly."

"You're welcome. And a message from His Majesty the Emperor. Don't carry it on your own, okay? This isn't just your war. Rely on me as soon as you want me to give you a hand. Because."

It's not just my war, is it?

But I don't want to die, and there are people who don't want me to die, so I'll never get out of my hands.

"Copy that, tell him."

"Okay. Even so, Leo will be rewarded again. Finally, the Marquis. It's not my dream to be a duke in a generation like a brave man."

Marquis or... have you come from the top to the second because you are next to the Duke?

I'm sorry about something, so I was wondering if you could give me no reward from now on?

"If I lived as I please, it would just have happened at some point..."

Or you're in too much trouble.

Me, luck would be so good if I just looked at the status, wouldn't it?

Is that it, or could it be bad luck? I'm sure it is.

I want to live in peace...

Oh, but couldn't you have had such a good life if it was peaceful?

I'm your youngest son even when I say noble, and normally I wouldn't have been able to marry Shelly or Leena.

Thinking about it, is it good luck?

"That's good. Because it's for people."

"I guess..."

For people...

"Worried about the city losing this dungeon?

"Sort of. I'm sorry to hear that even though you suffer from bad governance, it makes you feel even harder because of me."

No matter how many people split it it up for themselves, it kind of left me feeling guilty about this plan.

"I don't have a choice. Then what if Leo built a place where those people could escape?

"Right. I guess I'll just have to think about it...... Yeah, I'll do my best."

From now on, let's work harder to develop our territory.

"Yeah, good luck. And I'm tired for the day, so take the day off."

"Yeah, okay"

"Belle. Leo asked me to keep an eye on you today."

"Yes, leave it to me"

"I'll see you then"

My uncle waved, and then when he put his hand on the window, he used secrecy to disappear.

Anyway, I guess I'll cross the roof again and go home.

"You're the same..."

"Dear Leo, welcome home again. I'm glad the plan seems to have succeeded. Good luck."

As I was dropping off my uncle with a bitter laugh, Bell bowed down saying that.

"Thank you. I'm sorry Bell left you alone, too"

You missed me, didn't you?

"No, I don't miss you for about two days"

"Really?"

"Yes, let me talk to you in the dungeon."

"Yeah, fine. And I just wanted to say, not so much, huh?

Because it was such a dungeon that it would be over in three days.

"Still, I don't care what kind of demon you had, just let me know"

"I get it. The dungeons in the mountains were well informed. The Lass Boss angels in question were a little handled by the Hermans, but no one was hurt. The fog dungeon in question was a poisonous demon called Hydra."

"Huh? Was it okay to spit out poison?

"Yeah, I have this."

With that said, I showed Belle the devil's ring.

"Is that a ring?

"Yes. This has the ability to disable state anomalies. So don't struggle unexpectedly, I could take you down."

"That's good. So, what did you get for your skills?

After all, you care about your skills.

"It's regeneration and demonic eyes. Regeneration is the ability to regenerate if you are injured, as you say. Here."

With that said, I created a knife and stabbed it in my hand.

Ugh! It hurts more than I thought!

But not if you look like you're in pain here, because Bell's gonna worry about you.

"Oh! You're bleeding!

"And don't worry. Here, take a look."

When I saw Bell scream, I rushed to wipe the blood off and show him that there was no scratch on his hand.

Then Bell grabbed my hand with both hands and started staring at where I stabbed the knife.

"It's true... The wound is gone..."

Apparently, it was okay.

The pain quickly subsided. Yeah, from now on, let's not deliberately stab a knife in the hand or anything.

"This is the power of regeneration. Well, I don't know how far you can heal wounds, but you don't want to find out. If I cut my arm or something, it's gonna hurt."

You can't do this pain just by poking a knife, but you're scared if you lose your arm.

With that in mind, Bell has embraced my arms as much as he wants.

"Don't look into it! What would you do if you hadn't cut off your arms and grown!?

Bell swelled her cheeks as she hugged my arm.

Oh, my God. This is so cute.

"Well... I guess I'll have Belle replace my arm then"

"Huh? No, please don't joke. I don't want to see Master Leo hurt!

When I teased her because she was cute, Bell lit up for a moment and then began to hack and get angry.

"Sorry."

I knew you were cute.

"Already...... So, what are the abilities of the other demon eye?

"I don't know. I'm gonna ask Anna now."

(Anna, what kind of ability is Demon Eye?

(A demonic eye is when you focus your magic power on your eyes, you can use special powers. I don't know what I can do unless I try it)

Heh heh. Is there a kind in the devil's eye?

Copy that.

"What abilities were you?

"When you put magic in your eyes, they can do something"

"So why don't you just do it?

"Right. In the meantime, I don't know what I'm capable of, so I'm going to do a little magic."

With that said, I will concentrate my magic on my eyes one by one...

Then a certain change in my vision started to happen.

Is that it? Bell's clothes are gradually clear...

"Dear Leo, has there been any change?

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Wait a minute."

Why don't you? I don't want this.

But just for a second...

"I don't know, I think Master Leo's eyes are getting nasty"

I hid my chest with my arms as Bell looked disgusted.

Could he have found out?

"Oh, yeah?

I rushed off my sight from the bell.

Ugh, the walls are clear. Oh, I see Frank.

You look like you're having fun talking to your maid. I'm sure he's even talking about memorabilia in the dungeon.

"So, what was your ability? I can almost imagine something, but I'll ask you something."

That's right. That's probably it.

But what you say from your own mouth is that you've pleaded guilty...

"Uh... it seems like the more magic you can get in, the more distance you can see. I can see across the wall, and I've tried magic there now, but I can see it from here to the castle."

I said what I just found out, in pain.

These demon eyes are amazing. The more magic we can get in, the farther we can look.

Even now, it's easy to see my uncle and the emperor talking in a difficult face.

"I mean, what abilities?

Damn...... I thought it clouded well.

Will you miss it?

"Uh... I mean... telescopic clairvoyance"

"Yes. I thought it was clairvoyant"

"So, telescopic."

"But you can also peek into your clothes, right?

Well, if they say that...

"Yes..."

You have to admit it.

"You shouldn't normally use it!

"Wow, I get it"

"If you discover you used it, you can tell Shelley or Leena."

"Please, just give me a break!

I sat down reflexively.

When I remembered when that rat monitor found out I peeked into the bath, my body moved on its own.

"And I always thought, look grand if you see it"

"Huh? That's..."

When I looked up, Belle turned her back on me.

"Come on, I'll prepare dinner so Master Leo can relax until then"

"No way... you're kidding, right?

Then for a while, I looked at Bell's back as he sat in the front seat and thought about the meaning of the words.
