Chapter 148 148 – Fun Training

My place is usually quiet, and all that’s in the air is ambient noise, but now it’s filled with sweet humming from Kimi, who also plays the lute. The petite elf sat near Mona, leaning on one of Elise’s temple pillars.

A day had passed since Kimi woke up, and I gathered my other two servants near the pond.

[Yua Nakagami]

Strength: B

Dexterity: E

Agility: A

Vitality: A-

Magic: E-

Skills:

[Body pocket – Ability to store something on the body without being noticed, even if naked]

[Illusion Effect – Ability to give illusions].

[Shadow Walk – Performs steps without making a sound]

[Thousand Slash – Performs consecutive slash attacks at high speed]

I took a deep breath, switched to Yua’s skill tree screen. All skills that should be selectable are grayed out. “Looks like you still have to increase your magic affinity to be able to learn the next skill.”

The kunoichi shrugged. “Well, how do I train that, then?”

“Maybe we can ask Kimi for help.” I stared at the petite elf, who was still humming. “Well, there’s a shortcut by buying equipment that can increase your magic stats or upgrade your existing ones. But it’s costly.”

I’m so fucking broke.

“Perhaps I can buy it, sir?” The kunoichi chimed in. “I still have money from the tournament.”

“No, this is my responsibility. I’m not sure you have enough money anyway.” Scratching my hair, I turned to Elise. “And for you. This time, you will choose the next skill, Elise.”

The female warrior tilted her head.

“First choice, a variation of attack moves, like some you already have.” I continued. “Or you can choose a skill that diverts the damage that hits your comrades. In exchange, you will get those damages instead. But you’ll only feel the pain. You won’t suffer the wounds.”

Yua grimaced like she was in pain but made no comment.

If it was me, I would choose the second skill. Something like that was instrumental in preventing other party members’ injuries. However, Elise had to make a big sacrifice, so I gave her a choice.

“I chose the second, sir.” It didn’t take long for Elise to give an answer.

“Ooh?” I raised my eyebrows. “Why?”

The female warrior glanced the other way and fiddled with her fingers. “Well… I want to help my friends more with that.”

Yua put on a big smile and put her arm around Elise, pressing her cheek to the female warrior’s. “I’m glad to be your friend, Elise.”

“Okay then.” I pointed my finger at the skill in question. “I hope you’re pretty sure about this. The pain you’re going through will definitely be unbearable, after all.”

“It’s okay, sir.” Elise nodded firmly. “I know what I’m going to face.”

As soon as I pressed the skill, a thin dark brown book appeared in my hand.

The female warrior received the book and started to open it. “But how do I put this into practice, sir?”

I looked at Yua, who immediately shrugged.

“You will take the damage, sir?” The kunoichi wore a mischievous smile. “I would gladly do something.”

“This also does damage, right? A different kind of damage.” I raised both hands and moved my fingers, flashing an even more evil smile. “I’m a god. The skill won’t affect me. So, there’s no point in dealing damage to me.”

The kunoichi gulped. “D-does it has to be by tickling?”

“Come on, you want to help your friend, right? I can’t possibly hit you, can I?”

Strangely, Elise instead looked at my hand with a red blush on her face.

Kimi had stopped humming and was now asleep while still sitting.

“P-please, th-this is enough, right?” Yua’s breathing had become heavy, her face was flushed red, her sweat was soaking all over her body, and she sighed as a sign of exhaustion. However, she was still in that position, on her knees with her arms raised up, showing her armpits and exposed sides of her body. Her face also showed no resistance at all.

What a naughty lady, pretending to be reluctant but enjoying this.

“I’ve only been doing this for a while,” I replied.

In fact, I’ve been doing this for about two hours.

Slowly, I moved my fingers to the sides of the kunoichi’s body again. Maybe the effect would be better if I used a feather, but I prefer my fingers touching Yua’s smooth skin. The sensation I felt was delightful.

“Okay, then.” Elise pressed her sword’s tip to the floor. A second later, a dim blue light radiated from her body.

[All for One]

“Ha ha ha ha!!!” The echoing laughter was louder than before and didn’t come out of Yua’s mouth. Instead, the kunoichi stared at Elise, who was laughing like crazy.

The female warrior could stay in her position, albeit with a slight quiver.

“So, it worked.” I nodded in satisfaction. “Now is the time for you and Kimi, Yua. You should practice doing that illusion skill in tandem.”

After getting a clear goal from Levi, I feel I shouldn’t waste too much time. I want my servants to meet Scarlet Wizard as soon as possible. Honestly, I’m curious about that woman.

“Don’t you want to try again, sir?”

Elise’s words left me speechless, then I smirked. Even Elise is getting naughty, huh? Maybe this is a good thing.

Surrounded by attractive women like this, you would expect something more, right?

“Okay.” I massaged my shoulders. “But this time, I’m going to take it to eleven.”

Elise gulped while Yua pouted a little. Naturally, the kunoichi couldn’t ‘enjoy’ my tickling anymore.

However, I was interrupted by the arrival of a figure from the mist wall.

“Hi, Raymund. I need your help.” The figure of a woman in a light blue kimono approached me with fast steps. Her voice was a bit more like a shriek compared to average women.

“Excuse me. Maybe you don’t know, but I’m not the Raymund you might know, madam goddess.” I replied to that woman who was slim, had black hair in a bun, and had a heart-shaped face.

I knew she was a goddess from her looks and charm that caught my attention.

“Oh, I forgot.” The woman slapped her forehead and stopped in front of me. “My name is Kilev.”

I raised an eyebrow when I realized she was now wearing a pink Victorian dress. Her hair is also down, not tied up at all. There’s no way she could change her appearance in a matter of seconds.

“Ah, you are the goddess of clothes.” I made a conclusion.
