After leaving the cafe, I’m a little scared of how the maid just stood there, so I fast walk my way to the association while using Hawk Eye.
But that brings a new problem. It’s too much information.
When I used Hawk Eye in the dungeon, I could watch nearby enemies from above while seeing with my actual eyes. But there’s too many people in town, so when I try to watch everyone’s movements and be cautious of that maid, the amount of information I’m getting makes me dizzy.
I almost trip and fall.
I shouldn’t have activated this skill in town without thinking about it. Even with my high Intelligence, this is still too much information to process.
But I get to the association not even thirty minutes after I contacted them, and Hana takes me to the same exclusive room as always.
Aki and Maki look worried, so I tell them what happened, including all that stuff about marriage and second generation kids.
“My goodness…”
“That sounds really fishy…”
“Are you all right?”
They look more serious than I expected.
“Did she tell you her name, Shouta?”
“Ah, I didn’t ask, Maki. But her maid was called Aira.”
“A beautiful girl with sharp eyes?”
“Yes yes.”
They let out big sighs. She said she knew them, and apparently she wasn’t lying.
And after I tell them what I was thinking at the time, they smile.
“I-important for Shouta… Hehehe…”
“With marriage in mind… And children… Dehe.”
You wanted three, right? I won’t actually say something that crass though.
Anyway, I’m happy about their reactions, but let’s leave that aside.
“And then it was over.”
“…Ah. N-no Shouta, you can’t rest easy yet, she is a stubborn girl.”
Says Maki.
“Once she gets something in her head, she’s not stopping until she’s satisfied. So make sure she doesn’t know your stats. You can’t let her find out you’re not weak.”
“Hn…”
I guess even after becoming this strong, it’s not a lie to say my stats are weak.
Physical Strength：370 (+321)
Agility：360 (+311)
Intelligence：276 (+229)
Luck：732
Apparently other people can only see the values on the left. And they can’t see the powered up stats with only Appraisal Lv5.
Those actually look strong, but my real stats are the numbers on the left minus the ones on the right.
Come to think of it, most of my stats are punched up values. I guess everything is technically my stats, but if someone… Basically, if my child were to inherit them, who would see them exactly?
Since I don’t know that, even if she got to me before Aki and Maki, I might have rejected her proposal after looking into it.
I think it’s going to be hard to make her give up.
“But Aki, Aira might be able to solve it.”
“Ah, yes. But she might come as a bonus, right? No no.”
“Yes, it’s no good… Aira is tight-lipped and has a strong sense of duty, but she might put her before her master.”
“So we can’t slip out of this. We need to look for another way.”
“Yes.”
They seem really into what they’re talking about, but let’s leave that aside and talk about me moving.
“Move to the room next to ours!”
“It’s close so it would be convenient!!”
“No no no. I looked into it, and it’s a women’s dormitory. You can’t fool me.”
“Uu…”
“Buh… I thought it was a good idea…”
The two times I was there, I got in because I was with them. If I went there alone, I could call the doorman.
The branch manager told me about it through the application.
“Well then, you’re done moving out of your old place, right? We are looking for a place close to ours, so please wait!”
“No, it just has to be something near the dungeon…”
“No. This is non-negotiable.”
“Y-yes…”
They’re dealing with the contract and all that, so I can’t complain. And they even booked a hotel for me today. They don’t miss a thing.
“Ah, we could just take the opportunity and all live together. Kidding…”
““!!!””
Ah, their eyes are wide open.
“Shouta! I will find something that fulfills our conditions!!”
“…Ah, I was just jok…”
“Shouta! Once you say it, you gotta take responsibility!”
…Apparently Aki understands that I said it as a joke. Maybe she’s hopping on it out of concern for Maki.
Well, it’s something I wanted to happen eventually anyway, even if it’s moving pretty fast. Could it be that they’re in a hurry because of what happened with that girl? They don’t have to worry, I’ve decided to take good care of them.
“Ah, Shouta, here’s what we said we’d get you.”
Aki takes a longsword from under a desk like nothing happened.
“Third generation Echo Number One. It’s mass produced and a previous generation, so there’s a noticeable decrease in performance, but I think it’s nice because it’s from the same family as your Ghost, so it should be used the same way.”
“Ooh, thanks.”
“Shouta, this weapon is above iron equipment, but still not too sturdy. If you fight with it too hard, it will break, so be careful.”
Says Maki.
“Got it.”
“And… This is a little hard to say…”
“What?”
Both look at each other and nod.
““There’s something we want to ask…””
“…Gufuh.”
Both look up at me, and I feel like my heart is about to stop.
“Shouta?”
“So, so? Did it work?”
“That’s some really great destructive power…”
Who could say no to two cute girls like them?
“Ask me anything!”
“I know I’m the one doing it to you, but aren’t you too easy?”
“That’s just how much I like you.”
“Li…”
“S-s-so, here.”
Aki instantly gets flushed, and I take a phone while Maki mumbles.
What is this, a request for a skill?
Apparently yesterday during that meeting, they came up with a system for people there to request skills through these two, that I would then get with my techniques.
It’s actually gotten a lot smoother for me to get skills lately, so if I can sell them and get some favor from them, that should be a win-win.
Well, there’s no real time limit anyway, and if it’s just Super Strength and Swift, there shouldn’t be any problem. I want to try bringing one of them to III, but I can start delivering them after that.
“Still, seven Super Strength and nine Swift right from the start? That’s a crazy order.”
“That’s just how much demand there is for skills. And how much people expect from you.”
“Good luck out there Shouta.”
Aki says as she kisses my cheek. So she can do that without boiling.
“Be safe, Shouta.”
Maki also kisses me on the cheek.
If goddesses expect me to perform, I have to respond in kind!
“All right, here I go for the first half!”
