“I need more levels to get stronger, with the updated Level Gacha, but it might be pretty easy stats wise.”
“This free gacha is kind of like using the fruit from those golden seeds you planted.”
“Good comparison, that’s what it feels like. But we’ll need to see when I can use it again, to see if it can be used infinitely.”
I put away Level Gacha, and see everyone is happy like it’s happening with them.
“Still, how strong can darling get?”
“Judging by these exceptional skills, there probably isn’t a limit.”
“I don’t know how far it will go, but I want to conquer all the dungeons in the country.”
“That’s a preposterous dream… But I believe you can do it!”
“Yes Maki, and we’ll support him all the way through!”
“I’ll do my best to follow you!”
“Yes, I’m counting on you.”
With the gacha put away, I’m now wondering what Throw LvMAX is like.
I have a bow so… Actually, I didn’t really use it before that either, but I want to see if I can evolve it.
“Skill Compression.”
‘Will you use Skill Compression?’
“Use.”
‘Searching for applicable skills.’
‘Applicable skills confirmed.’
‘Compressing applicable skills…’
‘Compression of applicable skill successful.’
‘Compressed SR skill Throw LvMAX into UR skill Hunter Heart Lv1. The applicable skill won’t appear in its former rank going forward.’
“Hunter Heart Lv1…? Maki, is there any data on this skill?”
“…No. It’s either hidden, or a new one…”
“I see. Then I guess the name is all we have to go by…”
Also, is it a continuation of Throw, or a whole different thing?
I didn’t really use the original skill, so I don’t think I’ll be able to tell what changed if I just throw something. There’s also the fact that my stats have grown like crazy since I got it…
“If it’s not the type to be activated by saying its name, is it a passive skill?”
“Probably. If it’s the superior version of Throw, I think we can more or less guess… But darling’s UR skills are generally cheats, so it might go above what we can imagine.”
“At times like these, Appraisal doesn’t help. It only knows the names of items and dungeons, and only serves to peek into other people’s data.”
Appraisal… Yes, it doesn’t live up to its name.
“I know. Ever since it turned into True Appraisal, I can see some information about items… Can it work on magic?”
“It’s your skill, so we can probably expect something like that, uh?”
“I can’t wait!”
“The information about skills we have is based on other people investigating them and writing their findings. But there is only so much they can learn through the investigation process. If we can learn more information, that would help a lot of people… Ah, but your safety comes first, Shouta!”
“Yes, I know. And I have to get stronger to protect myself.”
But there’s a limit to how strong I can get on my own.
Ayane and Aira should get stronger, since they’re fighting alongside me, but Aki and Maki too, as they support me. We can’t be too cautious.
In any case, I need to get them Adamantine Armor first. At least the basic one, but III if I can.
“Lastly, there’s the random box I got… Aira, it was gold, right?”
“Yes. Here.”
Aira takes out the golden treasure chest.
“Ooh, it really is exciting to see a golden treasure chest.”
“Shouta’s Luck sure is great. I feel like I see this stuff practically every day.”
“It’s still a golden treasure chest!”
“A high rank adventurer would be lucky to get one of these every month.”
“Darling, please open it already!”
“Yes. I wonder what’s inside…”
I grab the lid, and it pops open to reveal one skill orb.
“…Bubble Magic Lv1?”
What?
I peek at Maki, who shakes her head. And so does Aira.
…Which means…
“Another completely new kind of magic? Ayane…”
“No thank you!”
“I haven’t even asked yet.”
She interrupted me before I could, because she knew what I was about to say.
“Learn it yourself, darling.”
“But this is your field.”
“Yes, but… The person who discovered it for the first time should have the honor to use it first. I can’t take that away from you.”
Is that really it?
I look around, and everyone nods.
“I see… Okay then. I just learned Spatial Magic, but…”
I’ll have to test its usefulness later.
Unlike passive skills, I can test spells right away because I can faintly see what they do if I focus on them.
“Then how about I test it outside while you get changed? I think it’s time for us to get ready to leave. The concept of time exists in dungeons, so even if it’s summer in here, it will get colder once the sun sets.”
“You are not going to watch us change?”
Asks Aira while grabbing my sleeve, when I try to get up.
“…Why is this maid saying this like it’s normal?”
“Y-you’re very welcome to, darling!”
“Not everyone thinks so, so don’t say that.”
I feel like Aki and Maki want to say something, but I think it’s too early, so I rush out of the tent.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
After leaving, I approach the water.
“First…”
What both spells can do appears in my mind. I see their names and a simple description of the effects… But I can’t really understand what either does.
“The effect of Spatial Magic is easy to understand, but can I actually use it…?”
It’s like I can’t figure out its use at all.
Then should I test Bubble Magic first, since I can’t even figure out its effect? It came out of a golden treasure chest and everything.
“Bubble Armor.”
I whisper, and my body is covered by a bubble. Actually, it’s more like a film of air. It feels like Adamantine Armor…
So far, it’s exactly like I expected, but what’s its use? Does it increase my defense? No, I can’t imagine a spell called bubble would do that.
“…Ah.”
I face forward, and see the blue sea.
Could it be…
Splash!
I bet on this spell, and throw myself into the water.
