No idea if anyone didn't get this part but in regards to Bel's Shooting Intuition. The bonus is a % correction/adjustment, not a hit rate bonus. So even if it's 100% it's not 100% chance of hitting, but it's better to think of it how in some FPS the cursor changes in size to match the range where the bullet will deviate within. Bonuses to correction = smaller range of deviation.
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 30
After we all finished dinner, I told the slaves to go and receive the equipment of {Bright Blade} that is supposed to be returned to us tomorrow. If there's anything of good quality then it would be fine to just use it like that as well. I'm pretty sure there was banded-mail and ring-mail included in the armor as well. In addition to purchasing some new leather armor for the members who's has started to damage it would probably be good to make use of those.
After dinner, I paid the salves their wages for this month and after they separated from us, I pulled along Ralpha and Gwine who wanted to go drinking and we returned to "Boil Manor". And then, once again we all gathered in my room.
"I thought we should talk a bit more about things with only the people who know the details a bit deeper. It's about Unique Abilities."
I sip at some bean tea while switching the topic to Unique Abilities and everyone in the room that was pointlessly chatting until then quieted down and looked at me.
"Nn~ this is extremely difficult to talk about...Well just listen."
I guess there was something that they didn't get with my way of putting it, everyone was making slightly mysterious faces.
"Including organizing it, I guess I'll talk about it once more...We were all born on the same day, in the year 7428. It's the same day we died as well. It was an accident and if we died instantly then it's only obvious. Though there might be people who didn't die instantly as well but I can't say anything in that regards. I can't imagine that every one of the victims in that accident died instantly after all. It wouldn't be strange for some of the people to have died in the hospital...It could be possible that only the people who died instantly were reincarnated to this Orth, though that might not be the case either."
"Haven't we already talked about that quite a bit already?"
Ralpha said that. Certainly it's quite late to be mentioning it.
"That's true. However..It seems that the only ones who reincarnated to Orth isn't just those of us who became victims in that accident."
After I said that and Ralpha opened her mouth shocked while looking at me. Everyone else is in a pretty similar state.
"Obviously I think you'll find it strange right. Why I know something like that."
I continue my words after seeing everyone slowly nod.
"We talked about it a bit yesterday night but..Obviously that's not all of the story. First, I guess I should start talking about it in sequence based on the dates...However, listen well, there's no guarantee the things I'm about to talk about are correct. Even the things I heard could be fake. But, for the most part I think there's conformity in the things I heard. First, things started 1,300 years ago. It might have started even further back than that or might have really been 1,300 years ago. I personally think it's just one story in a history of things that's continued since even further in the past."
I looked around at everyone before opening my mouth.
"1,300 years ago a single j.a.panese person reincarnated to Orth. However, they weren't a j.a.panese person from 1,300 years ago. They were a person who lived in the same era as us. They were a woman named Lilus and an Elf. She was born in a place far to the East of here, a country of Elves that no longer exists. I'm sure that woman had the same sort of confusion and conflicts as all of us but somehow or other she was able to adapt and she probably had a considerably amount of luck as well. She was safely able to become an adult, get married, and have a child. The child grew up a bit..around the time it turned two years old she was out hunting together with the girls of the village. Several days later, when Lilus returned to her village from hunting the scene she saw was her village trampled by an invading army of a nearby country and all of the villagers killed including her family."
Gwine's eyes went wide while she's holding her mouth.
"She pledged to get revenge and centered around the survivors of the village organized a resistance. I don't know the specific details but I think things would have been pretty difficult. It seems that she spent countless years and finally was able to destroy the country that invaded."
Zenom has his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he patiently listens to the story.
"Around that time the only survivor from her village was just Lilus. I'm sure all the other people must have lost their lives in the fights up until then. And, I don't know how, or why but it seems that either as reparations or as a reward for that she gained eternal youth. Supposedly she wasn't immortal...Hey, don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. I still haven't finished."
Ralpha took a pose exactly like Zenom and was looking at me with a questionable expression.
"And then, it seems she ended up marrying a different man who was also eternally young. I don't really know when this happened. And, it seems that the partner she married wanted a child but she wasn't able to have a child. It seems that husband even tried to kill Lilus in a maddened rage...Yeah, that's right, he's an insane b.a.s.t.a.r.d. However, since she felt that she was in danger she ended up turning the tables on and killing him."
Bel is nodding with a serious face. For her b.r.e.a.s.t.s to ride on her crossed arms..as expected. It might have just been my imagination but Toris seemed uncomfortable. You, could it be you said something to Bel?
"Just like I explained at the start, Lilus was on the Eastern side of the Oladd continent but it seems after that she moved to the West. And then we skip ahead a bit in time. It was about 700-800 years ago from now, so I guess around 400-500 years after she was born..It seems that some G.o.ds with power named Sharaizudan and Nelal died. Eh? I don't know why they died. In any case, it seems that it took the shape of her inheriting the deaths of those two G.o.ds and she turned into a {Demi-G.o.d}. That time, she supposedly turned into a Dark Elf..This is nothing more than my imagination but I think that maybe Lilus killed those two G.o.ds."
Zenom suddenly opened his eyes and then closed them again.
"In other words, it seems she's the founder of all Dark Elves."
I said that and took another sip of bean tea.
"After that, Lilus gave birth and increases the Dark Elves creating a country I'm sure. Though I don't really know. She called herself the Queen, and gave out several specific jobs while countless years pa.s.sed. Just like that time pa.s.sed by...Even though she was a {Demi-G.o.d} since she had still become a G.o.d she noticed that occasionally there were reincarnated people like us being reborn on Orth.
It seems that reincarnated people are born several years after the previous reincarnated people, basically the generation that is in possession of Unique Abilities end up dying. Supposedly only after that are new reincarnated people born. When they're born it seems there's cases of just one being reincarnated or cases like us with a number of people. However, I'm sure there's most likely multiple. Since there's probably some who died while children or who she never ended up meeting in their whole life so she probably just didn't notice them.
In her case, since she had become a {Demi-G.o.d} it seems she was separated from the frame of normal reincarnated people even though she had a Unique Ability. What can be imagined from this is that from the time Lilus was born until she turned into a {Demi-G.o.d} several hundred years later no reincarnated people were born."
I change the way my legs are crossed and s.h.i.+ft my posture a bit.
"And then, once upon a time..I think it was probably a bit over 500 years ago from now, Lilus met a young human man. The young mans name was George Rombert. Right, the founder of Rombert Kingdom, Rombert the First himself."
Zenom opened his eyes in surprise.
"I'm sure, Lilus recognized it right away. That he's a reincarnated person as well. It seems she talked with him a bit. I don't know if she only met him once or more often after that though. However, I think she might have given him various advice so it would be unnatural if she only met him just once and probably talked to him a number of times. It could be possible they had some sort of point of contact even. Rombert Kingdom has a lot of aspects in it's systems of management of the country that are different from other countries.
For example the military organization. I'm sure that the fact that the n.o.bility and soldiers are a different set of rankings is related to the advice Lilus gave. I think there's various other things as well. The qualifications for companies and the shape of politics. Fundamentally the n.o.bles are ministers who are appointed by the King and roughly governing over things but the rankings of the officials at the end are already decided and even commoners and free people can get promoted pretty high on that end. I think that's something pretty abnormal for Orth. "
"Certainly, I've heard that there's various things that are different in Rombert Kingdom from other countries.."
Zenom said seriously with his eyes opened. I nod at him and then continued my words.
"I think that George Rombert was wise. I'm sure he was originally blessed with military talent but without getting arrogant from that, he accepted Lilus's advice, and just like this he made Rombert Kingdom a large country that's lasted 500 years. Listen and be surprised at his name before he was reborn, he supposedly said it was Minamoto no Yos.h.i.+tsune."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine suddenly got noisy. I'm sure just Zenom has no clue but that can't be helped. Ralpha is explaining to Zenom that it was a famous military commander in our past lives. I waited until everyone quieted down.
"Is it already fine? Ah? It seems that Musas.h.i.+bo Benkei died without meeting Yos.h.i.+tsune. Yeah. The continuation. It seems that after Lilus became a {Demi-G.o.d} she was able to sense the signs when reincarnated people are going to be born. And even more time pa.s.ses..500 years. It seems that Lilus senses a single reincarnated person born below her feet. That was, Chizumagurol. My subordinate from the past that I met in the dungeon the other day. It seems that Lilus was surprised when Chizumagurol was born. Up until then she had met and seen a number of reincarnated people but it was her first time meeting someone from the same era as her after all.."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine the four of them are closing their eyes or looking into the distance while trying get a feel for Lilus's feelings.
"I'm sure she was happy. It seems that soon after she was born she used magic to peek in on her memories and see what kind of person she was. That magic is called {Report} and it's spell that's already been lost now and uses a tremendous amount of mana. When the spell is used on the target while they're sleeping or the level of their consciousness is low, it forcefully displays memories that strongly remained in their impression. And then, as compensation for that the target's memory is sealed. Eh? I don't know if the memory that was looked at itself gets sealed. In the first place, it seems that even I don't have enough mana to use that spell {Report} at all so I can't use it.
Lilus obviously knew about that. But, since it was nostalgic and heartrending she couldn't help but continue to use a powerful {Report} to indulge in them. Since Chizumagurol was still a baby that had just reincarnated into Orth, there was no way she had any memories of a life on Orth. It went to the point where finally Chizumagurol had all of her memories of her past life excluding her knowledge sealed away. In other words, during the time she was a baby she forgot most of the memories she had lived in her life up until then.."
Gwine's eyes went wide while she's holding her hand over her mouth again.
"But..But, I understand her feelings."
"Yeah, I understand that person's feeling as well. I'm sure she wasn't able to hold it back.."
Bel and Toris are supporting my wife Lilus.
"Certainly, that's true but..forgetting your life because of that..is painful I'm sure.."
Ralpha whispered.
"Well, forgetting is a faulty way of putting it. Just like I said in the start, the memories are just sealed and not completely forgotten. In reality, when Chizumagurol met me she remembered the considerable portion of her memories. I'm continuing..after looking through the memories of Chizumagurol's past life Lilus noticed something. The fact that Chizumagurol didn't reincarnate alone."
I took a glance around at everyone's state. There was no one making strange faces. I was a bit worried someone would interject. I'm saved.
"A certain person was in the memories of Chizumagurol. That person was someone Lilus was intimate with during her time on Earth. Since that person was in Chizumagurol's memories even if she knew it was no good Lilus couldn't stop looking at Chizumagurol's memories. That person was, Lilus's husband in j.a.pan."
"Ah..that is..might not be..impossible."
"Yeah..I can't criticize her..but.."
Gwine and Ralpha said.
"Th..That is.."
"No way~!"
It seems that Bel and Toris might have realized.
".."
Zenom still has his arms crossed and is making a difficult face with his eyebrows raised.
"..Lilus noticed the possibility that the man who was her husband could have reincarnated on Orth as a baby. However, her body was already in a state where she couldn't move freely. Quite literally, her legs were rooted to the ground. Since it couldn't be helped she made use of that spell {Report} and used it blindly one at a time..from one person on Orth after another..she slowly looked into the memories of various people while searching...
I didn't say it just now but this spell {Report} is easier to cast the closer the target is to the caster in terms of physical distance and it also has relation to how deep into and the number of memories they can see but..just like that the memories get sealed as well. The further distance away they are the more difficult it is and it uses ma.s.sive amounts of mana for a weak effect. I'm sure it was an exhausting amount of work...
After 10 years she was finally able to find them..after looking into their memories and finally being able to specify her husband I think she was quite happy. Even if she's a {Demi-G.o.d} she's not omnipotent. In order to meet him she would have needed her husband to come to her place. There was no other way to talk than that...She had already reached her limits in mana and while it was temporary she was about to die as well. It seems she overdid it quite a bit somehow aligning her mentality just to say "I'm here, come and meet me.""
Everyone has quieted down tilting their ears to the story.
"Now then, the story changed a bit from here. I was able to notice it vaguely but I had some memories that were disappearing. The first time I noticed it was shortly after we came to Baldukk. And then, in a strange place I noticed that I had a powerful spell, one to the level that even I couldn't remove cast on my hand. After that..I gathered information from various places..and there's some coincidences here as well but if I have another chance I'll mention it..In any case, I realized I was under the effects of a powerful spell that I couldn't release myself so I thought the only option was negotiate directly with the caster.
In order to negotiate a conversation was necessary. I decided to use a spell called {Telepathy} to talk to them but it's necessary to be able to see the target in order to use the spell {Telepathy}. In order to do that I needed to use a spell called {Detect Magic User} to look at the caster."
I took a sip of bean tea to wet my lips.
"This {Detect Magic User} isn't so easy to use. It requires a crystallized mineral that's as transparent as possible in the shape of a sphere to use as a catalyst. Honestly speaking, that's the reason I had been frantically looking for crystals or diamonds recently...When I fell to the 14th floor, I defeated a monster eyeball called Death=Tyrant.Kin but the insides of that eyeball had crystallized. Of course I took it. On the way back..I think it was probably the teleport room on the 13th floor I immediately made use of the crystal ball to use the spell {Detect Magic User} and I saw the face of the caster in the crystal ball.."
I want some cigarettes...
"I'm sure you already get it right? Miki, my wife appeared...I talked to her using {Telepathy}. Almost everything I just talked about now was from my wife..things I heard from Lilus herself."
Silence took over the room. You can only hear the sound of slow breathing.
Zenom is still crossing his arms and it seems Toris is following after him with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Bel and Gwine have their eyes cast downwards but their eyes are red with tears in them. Ralpha is just staring vaguely into the mid-air.
I put a bit of a gap between it and opened my mouth again. Up until here is just the preface after all.
"Even with a crystal ball this larger I wasn't able to talk to her for very long. That's why, what I just sopped about now is almost all of it. For starters I'll say it, but I, won't go and meet my wife now. It seems that even if I do go I wouldn't be able to meet her after all. Since she's far away I wouldn't make it in time. However, {Demi-G.o.ds} are different from normal people they're still G.o.ds. It seems she'll revive again in another several years or decades. It's fine since if I'm still alive at that time I can meet her. That's why..don't worry about it."
After I said that everyone looked at me with painful faces. So you all cared about me that much. I'm grateful.
"And, this is some new information that I had gained but this is finally the main part. It's about Unique Abilities. When Unique Abilities reach the max level..it seems you can use a hidden ability for them when they reach level 9. Is there anyone who's noticed it? I had noticed it. The hidden ability of Magic Acquisition that I noticed when it reached the max level is..I'll mention it later."
There was a feel like things tripped for a bit but that's only obvious. After seeing everyone's reactions I thought to change the details of what I was going to say. And, I thought that Bel would raise her hand as well.
"Bel. Is there anything that you've noticed?"
"..Yes. As a matter of fact I've had that sort of feeling since a short while ago. When I'm using Shooting Intuition, if I concentrate even further while using it I feel like the hitting rate gets even higher."
Ho~? The last time I Identified Bel..when was it again? However, I guess the time I read the details of her Unique Ability was around the time we met...I'll s.h.i.+ft my sight a bit so it doesn't feel unnatural and try Identifying her.
"He~? Toris, Gwine what about you two?"
【Unique Ability: Shooting Intuition; an ability which makes the intuition of the user sharper and raises their accuracy when shooting. At level 0 it gives a correction of 5% to their normal shooting capability.............has no effect on the abilities of the device used to shoot or the distance or force of the projectile fired with it.The expanded ability at MAX level is that by consuming another additional 1 MP there's an additional 50% correction added to the shooting ability of the user.】
I see.
Also, the only ones who's Unique Abilities are at MAX level are Toris and Gwine. Ralpha is close to level 8 but it's still level 7.
Toris is twisting his head. I tried Identifying him but there was nothing that had particularly changed. I wonder if the expansion ability only blooms if you continue using your ability even after it reaches MAX level? It feels like Gwine is somehow hesitating on it. I wonder if maybe she's noticed it as well?
【Unique Ability: Geographical Memory {Mapping}; The details of all terrain seen while using this ability can be stored in memory. Also, during use of this ability you can understand when you've entered a terrain that you've previously stored.........visual information is falsified, the falsified information will be stored in memory. The expanded ability at MAX level is while viewing a terrain already stored in memory(this works even in the case the ability is already in use), if the the user is currently inside of that terrain they can comprehend their current location in both first-person and bird's eye view.】
Hohou. In Gwine's case, it doesn't require any additional MP.
"Umm, it's just somehow but recently I feel like I have..noticed something as well. During the time I'm imagining the map in my head, I can understand where my current location is on that map."
Umu...However, since Bel and Gwine honestly reported theirs I have no choice other than to say mine as well. Out of the options I had already prepared in advance I pick the one that is most suitable. Honestly speaking, putting aside Bel or Gwine I didn't think they had noticed it. Even I wouldn't have realized that I was earning experience points towards my magic skills if I didn't observe it using Identify. I still don't know what kind of expanded ability Identify has after all. That's why, I thought to go with the maximum amount of compromise on this end as well.
"So Toris hasn't noticed anything? I see. In my case, it's become even easier for me to learn new spells. This is a bit different from up until now. It's true that up until now I was able to learn new spells. If that wasn't the case then I wouldn't be able to make use of as many different types of spells as as I do."
I took another sip of bean tea before opening my mouth again.
"For example, if there's a spell A here that I don't know. The easiest method for me to acquire this spell A is to have it actually used in front of me and them directly coach me on how to use it. This is the same as everyone right? The next easiest way is to just have someone use it and not receive any coaching. The next method is to only be told the details and effects of the spells. However, it's only obvious but in all of those cases there's the prerequisite of how much mana each of those spells use. I think you can understand that including me this is the same for everyone."
Everyone is nodding.
"But, particularly in the case of the last method, if it's just that it's quite difficult. Even when I have Magic Acquisition it's considerably difficult to do. My mother was my teacher in magic. She was only able to use the elemental magic fire and water. My mother had no method of coaching me on using spells that require earth or wind magic. However, in my case, just as everyone knows, since I have a lot of mana the number of times I could do trial and error was extremely high. I repeated trial and error countless times and slowly made them my own.
I'm sure that after everyone started training with magic there's countless things you could have noticed but using a new spell itself isn't all that difficult. However, that's only in the case that spell actually exists and you've seen it used in front of your eyes. Using the example from just now even if there's a spell called A that you know the name of, if you've never actually seen it then in most cases you're still doubting it's existence somewhere in your mind. Even though I just mentioned the spells named {Report}, {Detect Magic User}, and {Telepathy} I don't think you'll be able to use them with just that."
I s.h.i.+fted my position on the chair again before continuing.
"However, my Magic Acquisition ability let's me reasonably become able to use a spell just by learning the name and effect of it in a short amount of time. And then, the hidden ability that was released by reaching the highest level, it's just somewhat but it makes it easier for me to develop my own spells. I haven't put any effort into it yet but I think I'm going to make a new spell using this."
I grin while looking around at everyone.
"It will be an expansion of {Status Open}. I think it would be good if I can see peoples {Status} without touching them directly. Particularly, if I can see things that only the person them self could see until now like Unique Abilities, special skills..and if I could see the levels of magic it would be the best. It would be an advantage in searching for reincarnated people, and from here on out, I think it would be helpful in finding talents to make my country."
Gwine seemed like she had something she wanted to say.
"Gwine, is there something you want to say? What is it?"
"..Wun, I was just wondering how that would be useful?"
"Gwine, think carefully about it. I think it would be extremely useful. For example, if you caught a glimpse of someone that seemed to be j.a.panese in the town. If Al-san can use the spell he just mentioned there then he can tell if they're a reincarnated person without even being noticed by them. This advantage is big. It's an unpleasant way of putting it and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but before the other side even notices you could grasp their weakness if possible and start surrounding them before they know it. If you can do that then even if they refuse negotiations it's possible they'd be forced to become allies. After all there's no guarantee everyone will sympathize with Al-san, I'm sure there's cases where people normally want to do their jobs or live with their families as well. It would be big if we could make people like those into allies."
Toris said. And then, Bel continues to open her mouth.
"Since the two of us have already made our decisions, it's a bit late to be saiyng anything at this point but rather than grasping the other persons weaknesses, I'm sure we can find things that would be of merit to them and get them to become our allies. It's big that we can find merits that are tailored closer to the interests of the other person as well. Of course, even if the other person isn't a reincarnated person it's big that we can find out their name and family ahead of time as well."
Next, even Ralpha added on as well.
"If you can see monsters as well then it could be convenient..like special skills. Since magic didn't work on that {golem} from the other day.."
Zenom says while his arms are still crossed.
"..However, even if you can make a spell like that, we can't tell anyone about it. I'm sure anyone would dislike knowing you can use {Status Open} freely on anyone at anytime. Just thinking about it is creepy."
"That's true."
I make a bitter smile while replying.
"However, please rest easy, Zenom. I don't think it would be so easy to use right and left. It's just my guess but I feel like it would use a considerably amount of mana. Even if I can do it I don't think it's something I could use a number of times. It feels like it would be more of a decisive technique. When it comes to using it on monsters in the dungeon unless it's a considerably powerful enemy it would just be a pointless waste of mana. It might not be all that useful in combat."
And then,
"I don't know how much time it will take for me to complete it as well."
By explaining it not as the Unique Ability, Identify, but rather just a type of spell then I should be able to decrease the amount of evasive feelings they get in regards to it. Furthermore, if I make it so that it uses a considerable amount of mana then even if they ask me to teach it to them they won't be able to use it. Almost like the spell {Report} to me.
"Sorry but that's about all of the information I heard from my wife. It would be good if Toris can notice the expansion ability to his Scales."
I said that and finished things up.
"Now then, the next thing. This morning, I talked with the King. Putting it frankly, there's a reasonably good story and one that's not very good at all. I guess I'll start from the reasonably good story."
Everyone is focused on me again.
"It seems that fundamentally, it's {OK} for me to create my own independent country at my own convenience. And, buying a portion of the royal territory..is a weird way of expressing it, but I guess that's fine, if I can buy some , then fundamentally Rombert Kingdom itself won't attack us if we don't take any hostile actions towards them first. Though they won't save us even if we're attacked by countries other than Rombert."
Ho~ and I heard sighs of relief from everyone.
"That's wonderful isn't it. It's big that one large points of grief has disappeared!"
Toris said. That's certainly true.
"Ah, that's right. However..I was beaten, after all that old man King isn't an ordinary guy."
After I said that and everyone leaned forward a bit.
"From here on is the news that isn't very good. Like I just said, buying some of the royal territory from the King is fine itself. Though it might be considerably smaller than the edge of the East like Count Rinflait's territory but it's not a territory as barren as there. Or rather, it would be fine to say the land itself is quite fertile. However, there's several large problems. For starters, the problem of money..It's 10,000,000,000 Z. Otherwise handing over a useful magic tool that rivals that amount."
".."
I'm sure they had somewhat predicted it. It's for that reason that we're still tirelessly exploring the dungeon.
"The next problem is the fact that it's a territory in the Dirt Plains."
""Eeehh!!?""
That's only obvious.
"That's right. It's common knowledge but there's conflicts with Devas Kingdom there all the time. It seems fine if we don't take into consideration attacks from the Rombert side but I'm sure things won't go that way with Devas. And then, the problem that is inclusive of that. Bel and Zulu were born in Devas. Zulu is fine, but Bel, it might be possible you would have to cross swords with people from your own country. Or rather, I'm definitely sure Devas would try to lay a hand on us so it's not just a matter of possibility. If it comes to that Bel, can you fight? It will be a death match to protect our land. Depending on the case since the Koloil family is a Sub-Baron they might partic.i.p.ate in the attack."
I said while making a sour face, and everyone, was looking at Bel's face. Gwine is looking at Bel quite worried. However, only Toris isn't looking at Bel and is standing together with her looking at me.
"Al-san. When I turn 20 years old I intend to marry Toris. If it comes to that then I won't be Bernadette.Koloil but Bernadette.Karlstalan. And I won't be the second daughter of a sub-Baron but I will be the first wife of Count Kalstalan in the country that Al-san makes. No, the Kalstalan family that Toris leads in our new kingdom will aim to be a Marquis, so I'll become the first wife of Marquis Kalstalan. If the Sub-Baron Koloil of Devas Kingdom offers their allegiance to us then I'd like to accept them but if that's not the case then that would make them invaders. What is there to worry about a Marquis of the Kingdom fighting against some invaders?"
I was worrying about whether you could separate things inside of you. First wife (candidate).
However, you sure are intense. Somehow I'm a bit worried about Toris, but Toris is standing composed next to Bel.
After hearing Bel's declaration starting with Zenom, Ralpha and Gwine were all dumbfounded.
However, I've certainly been shown the resolve of you, you two.
Someday prove it to me.
"..That is..excuse me on that. Sorry..forgive me."
I'll definitely offer you some good conditions.
"..Fu~ Since Bel and Toris are saying that then I guess there's no grief on that end. However, it's very possible that it will come down to some serious conflicts. Honestly speaking..I have to question whether the Dirt Plains is really a good choice..It's not like I've actually seen it after all."
By the way, since you're saying first wife does that mean you're resolved for second or third wives? you.
You're seriously intense.
Ah, I see. I forgot to mention it. Maybe because there was this, she gave up and was saying things like first wife?
"And then, sorry, I forgot to mention it. It seems that when it's between reincarnated people even if they're different races they can have children easier than normally. My wife..Lilus mentioned it. It seems she saw several pairs of them as well."
Bel and Toris made surprised expressions while exchanging glances and smiled.
I need to make sure to properly mention it later. Don't forget to use condoms...
After that, we all got into a debate about whether the Dirt Plains were better, or the East is better as our conversation continued late into the night.
No idea if anyone didn't get this part but in regards to Bel's Shooting Intuition. The bonus is a % correction/adjustment, not a hit rate bonus. So even if it's 100% it's not 100% chance of hitting, but it's better to think of it how in some FPS the cursor changes in size to match the range where the bullet will deviate within. Bonuses to correction = smaller range of deviation.
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 30
After we all finished dinner, I told the slaves to go and receive the equipment of {Bright Blade} that is supposed to be returned to us tomorrow. If there's anything of good quality then it would be fine to just use it like that as well. I'm pretty sure there was banded-mail and ring-mail included in the armor as well. In addition to purchasing some new leather armor for the members who's has started to damage it would probably be good to make use of those.
After dinner, I paid the salves their wages for this month and after they separated from us, I pulled along Ralpha and Gwine who wanted to go drinking and we returned to "Boil Manor". And then, once again we all gathered in my room.
"I thought we should talk a bit more about things with only the people who know the details a bit deeper. It's about Unique Abilities."
I sip at some bean tea while switching the topic to Unique Abilities and everyone in the room that was pointlessly chatting until then quieted down and looked at me.
"Nn~ this is extremely difficult to talk about...Well just listen."
I guess there was something that they didn't get with my way of putting it, everyone was making slightly mysterious faces.
"Including organizing it, I guess I'll talk about it once more...We were all born on the same day, in the year 7428. It's the same day we died as well. It was an accident and if we died instantly then it's only obvious. Though there might be people who didn't die instantly as well but I can't say anything in that regards. I can't imagine that every one of the victims in that accident died instantly after all. It wouldn't be strange for some of the people to have died in the hospital...It could be possible that only the people who died instantly were reincarnated to this Orth, though that might not be the case either."
"Haven't we already talked about that quite a bit already?"
Ralpha said that. Certainly it's quite late to be mentioning it.
"That's true. However..It seems that the only ones who reincarnated to Orth isn't just those of us who became victims in that accident."
After I said that and Ralpha opened her mouth shocked while looking at me. Everyone else is in a pretty similar state.
"Obviously I think you'll find it strange right. Why I know something like that."
I continue my words after seeing everyone slowly nod.
"We talked about it a bit yesterday night but..Obviously that's not all of the story. First, I guess I should start talking about it in sequence based on the dates...However, listen well, there's no guarantee the things I'm about to talk about are correct. Even the things I heard could be fake. But, for the most part I think there's conformity in the things I heard. First, things started 1,300 years ago. It might have started even further back than that or might have really been 1,300 years ago. I personally think it's just one story in a history of things that's continued since even further in the past."
I looked around at everyone before opening my mouth.
"1,300 years ago a single j.a.panese person reincarnated to Orth. However, they weren't a j.a.panese person from 1,300 years ago. They were a person who lived in the same era as us. They were a woman named Lilus and an Elf. She was born in a place far to the East of here, a country of Elves that no longer exists. I'm sure that woman had the same sort of confusion and conflicts as all of us but somehow or other she was able to adapt and she probably had a considerably amount of luck as well. She was safely able to become an adult, get married, and have a child. The child grew up a bit..around the time it turned two years old she was out hunting together with the girls of the village. Several days later, when Lilus returned to her village from hunting the scene she saw was her village trampled by an invading army of a nearby country and all of the villagers killed including her family."
Gwine's eyes went wide while she's holding her mouth.
"She pledged to get revenge and centered around the survivors of the village organized a resistance. I don't know the specific details but I think things would have been pretty difficult. It seems that she spent countless years and finally was able to destroy the country that invaded."
Zenom has his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he patiently listens to the story.
"Around that time the only survivor from her village was just Lilus. I'm sure all the other people must have lost their lives in the fights up until then. And, I don't know how, or why but it seems that either as reparations or as a reward for that she gained eternal youth. Supposedly she wasn't immortal...Hey, don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. I still haven't finished."
Ralpha took a pose exactly like Zenom and was looking at me with a questionable expression.
"And then, it seems she ended up marrying a different man who was also eternally young. I don't really know when this happened. And, it seems that the partner she married wanted a child but she wasn't able to have a child. It seems that husband even tried to kill Lilus in a maddened rage...Yeah, that's right, he's an insane b.a.s.t.a.r.d. However, since she felt that she was in danger she ended up turning the tables on and killing him."
Bel is nodding with a serious face. For her b.r.e.a.s.t.s to ride on her crossed arms..as expected. It might have just been my imagination but Toris seemed uncomfortable. You, could it be you said something to Bel?
"Just like I explained at the start, Lilus was on the Eastern side of the Oladd continent but it seems after that she moved to the West. And then we skip ahead a bit in time. It was about 700-800 years ago from now, so I guess around 400-500 years after she was born..It seems that some G.o.ds with power named Sharaizudan and Nelal died. Eh? I don't know why they died. In any case, it seems that it took the shape of her inheriting the deaths of those two G.o.ds and she turned into a {Demi-G.o.d}. That time, she supposedly turned into a Dark Elf..This is nothing more than my imagination but I think that maybe Lilus killed those two G.o.ds."
Zenom suddenly opened his eyes and then closed them again.
"In other words, it seems she's the founder of all Dark Elves."
I said that and took another sip of bean tea.
"After that, Lilus gave birth and increases the Dark Elves creating a country I'm sure. Though I don't really know. She called herself the Queen, and gave out several specific jobs while countless years pa.s.sed. Just like that time pa.s.sed by...Even though she was a {Demi-G.o.d} since she had still become a G.o.d she noticed that occasionally there were reincarnated people like us being reborn on Orth.
It seems that reincarnated people are born several years after the previous reincarnated people, basically the generation that is in possession of Unique Abilities end up dying. Supposedly only after that are new reincarnated people born. When they're born it seems there's cases of just one being reincarnated or cases like us with a number of people. However, I'm sure there's most likely multiple. Since there's probably some who died while children or who she never ended up meeting in their whole life so she probably just didn't notice them.
In her case, since she had become a {Demi-G.o.d} it seems she was separated from the frame of normal reincarnated people even though she had a Unique Ability. What can be imagined from this is that from the time Lilus was born until she turned into a {Demi-G.o.d} several hundred years later no reincarnated people were born."
I change the way my legs are crossed and s.h.i.+ft my posture a bit.
"And then, once upon a time..I think it was probably a bit over 500 years ago from now, Lilus met a young human man. The young mans name was George Rombert. Right, the founder of Rombert Kingdom, Rombert the First himself."
Zenom opened his eyes in surprise.
"I'm sure, Lilus recognized it right away. That he's a reincarnated person as well. It seems she talked with him a bit. I don't know if she only met him once or more often after that though. However, I think she might have given him various advice so it would be unnatural if she only met him just once and probably talked to him a number of times. It could be possible they had some sort of point of contact even. Rombert Kingdom has a lot of aspects in it's systems of management of the country that are different from other countries.
For example the military organization. I'm sure that the fact that the n.o.bility and soldiers are a different set of rankings is related to the advice Lilus gave. I think there's various other things as well. The qualifications for companies and the shape of politics. Fundamentally the n.o.bles are ministers who are appointed by the King and roughly governing over things but the rankings of the officials at the end are already decided and even commoners and free people can get promoted pretty high on that end. I think that's something pretty abnormal for Orth. "
"Certainly, I've heard that there's various things that are different in Rombert Kingdom from other countries.."
Zenom said seriously with his eyes opened. I nod at him and then continued my words.
"I think that George Rombert was wise. I'm sure he was originally blessed with military talent but without getting arrogant from that, he accepted Lilus's advice, and just like this he made Rombert Kingdom a large country that's lasted 500 years. Listen and be surprised at his name before he was reborn, he supposedly said it was Minamoto no Yos.h.i.+tsune."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine suddenly got noisy. I'm sure just Zenom has no clue but that can't be helped. Ralpha is explaining to Zenom that it was a famous military commander in our past lives. I waited until everyone quieted down.
"Is it already fine? Ah? It seems that Musas.h.i.+bo Benkei died without meeting Yos.h.i.+tsune. Yeah. The continuation. It seems that after Lilus became a {Demi-G.o.d} she was able to sense the signs when reincarnated people are going to be born. And even more time pa.s.ses..500 years. It seems that Lilus senses a single reincarnated person born below her feet. That was, Chizumagurol. My subordinate from the past that I met in the dungeon the other day. It seems that Lilus was surprised when Chizumagurol was born. Up until then she had met and seen a number of reincarnated people but it was her first time meeting someone from the same era as her after all.."
Toris, Bel, Ralpha, and Gwine the four of them are closing their eyes or looking into the distance while trying get a feel for Lilus's feelings.
"I'm sure she was happy. It seems that soon after she was born she used magic to peek in on her memories and see what kind of person she was. That magic is called {Report} and it's spell that's already been lost now and uses a tremendous amount of mana. When the spell is used on the target while they're sleeping or the level of their consciousness is low, it forcefully displays memories that strongly remained in their impression. And then, as compensation for that the target's memory is sealed. Eh? I don't know if the memory that was looked at itself gets sealed. In the first place, it seems that even I don't have enough mana to use that spell {Report} at all so I can't use it.
Lilus obviously knew about that. But, since it was nostalgic and heartrending she couldn't help but continue to use a powerful {Report} to indulge in them. Since Chizumagurol was still a baby that had just reincarnated into Orth, there was no way she had any memories of a life on Orth. It went to the point where finally Chizumagurol had all of her memories of her past life excluding her knowledge sealed away. In other words, during the time she was a baby she forgot most of the memories she had lived in her life up until then.."
Gwine's eyes went wide while she's holding her hand over her mouth again.
"But..But, I understand her feelings."
"Yeah, I understand that person's feeling as well. I'm sure she wasn't able to hold it back.."
Bel and Toris are supporting my wife Lilus.
"Certainly, that's true but..forgetting your life because of that..is painful I'm sure.."
Ralpha whispered.
"Well, forgetting is a faulty way of putting it. Just like I said in the start, the memories are just sealed and not completely forgotten. In reality, when Chizumagurol met me she remembered the considerable portion of her memories. I'm continuing..after looking through the memories of Chizumagurol's past life Lilus noticed something. The fact that Chizumagurol didn't reincarnate alone."
I took a glance around at everyone's state. There was no one making strange faces. I was a bit worried someone would interject. I'm saved.
"A certain person was in the memories of Chizumagurol. That person was someone Lilus was intimate with during her time on Earth. Since that person was in Chizumagurol's memories even if she knew it was no good Lilus couldn't stop looking at Chizumagurol's memories. That person was, Lilus's husband in j.a.pan."
"Ah..that is..might not be..impossible."
"Yeah..I can't criticize her..but.."
Gwine and Ralpha said.
"Th..That is.."
"No way~!"
It seems that Bel and Toris might have realized.
".."
Zenom still has his arms crossed and is making a difficult face with his eyebrows raised.
"..Lilus noticed the possibility that the man who was her husband could have reincarnated on Orth as a baby. However, her body was already in a state where she couldn't move freely. Quite literally, her legs were rooted to the ground. Since it couldn't be helped she made use of that spell {Report} and used it blindly one at a time..from one person on Orth after another..she slowly looked into the memories of various people while searching...
I didn't say it just now but this spell {Report} is easier to cast the closer the target is to the caster in terms of physical distance and it also has relation to how deep into and the number of memories they can see but..just like that the memories get sealed as well. The further distance away they are the more difficult it is and it uses ma.s.sive amounts of mana for a weak effect. I'm sure it was an exhausting amount of work...
After 10 years she was finally able to find them..after looking into their memories and finally being able to specify her husband I think she was quite happy. Even if she's a {Demi-G.o.d} she's not omnipotent. In order to meet him she would have needed her husband to come to her place. There was no other way to talk than that...She had already reached her limits in mana and while it was temporary she was about to die as well. It seems she overdid it quite a bit somehow aligning her mentality just to say "I'm here, come and meet me.""
Everyone has quieted down tilting their ears to the story.
"Now then, the story changed a bit from here. I was able to notice it vaguely but I had some memories that were disappearing. The first time I noticed it was shortly after we came to Baldukk. And then, in a strange place I noticed that I had a powerful spell, one to the level that even I couldn't remove cast on my hand. After that..I gathered information from various places..and there's some coincidences here as well but if I have another chance I'll mention it..In any case, I realized I was under the effects of a powerful spell that I couldn't release myself so I thought the only option was negotiate directly with the caster.
In order to negotiate a conversation was necessary. I decided to use a spell called {Telepathy} to talk to them but it's necessary to be able to see the target in order to use the spell {Telepathy}. In order to do that I needed to use a spell called {Detect Magic User} to look at the caster."
I took a sip of bean tea to wet my lips.
"This {Detect Magic User} isn't so easy to use. It requires a crystallized mineral that's as transparent as possible in the shape of a sphere to use as a catalyst. Honestly speaking, that's the reason I had been frantically looking for crystals or diamonds recently...When I fell to the 14th floor, I defeated a monster eyeball called Death=Tyrant.Kin but the insides of that eyeball had crystallized. Of course I took it. On the way back..I think it was probably the teleport room on the 13th floor I immediately made use of the crystal ball to use the spell {Detect Magic User} and I saw the face of the caster in the crystal ball.."
I want some cigarettes...
"I'm sure you already get it right? Miki, my wife appeared...I talked to her using {Telepathy}. Almost everything I just talked about now was from my wife..things I heard from Lilus herself."
Silence took over the room. You can only hear the sound of slow breathing.
Zenom is still crossing his arms and it seems Toris is following after him with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Bel and Gwine have their eyes cast downwards but their eyes are red with tears in them. Ralpha is just staring vaguely into the mid-air.
I put a bit of a gap between it and opened my mouth again. Up until here is just the preface after all.
"Even with a crystal ball this larger I wasn't able to talk to her for very long. That's why, what I just sopped about now is almost all of it. For starters I'll say it, but I, won't go and meet my wife now. It seems that even if I do go I wouldn't be able to meet her after all. Since she's far away I wouldn't make it in time. However, {Demi-G.o.ds} are different from normal people they're still G.o.ds. It seems she'll revive again in another several years or decades. It's fine since if I'm still alive at that time I can meet her. That's why..don't worry about it."
After I said that everyone looked at me with painful faces. So you all cared about me that much. I'm grateful.
"And, this is some new information that I had gained but this is finally the main part. It's about Unique Abilities. When Unique Abilities reach the max level..it seems you can use a hidden ability for them when they reach level 9. Is there anyone who's noticed it? I had noticed it. The hidden ability of Magic Acquisition that I noticed when it reached the max level is..I'll mention it later."
There was a feel like things tripped for a bit but that's only obvious. After seeing everyone's reactions I thought to change the details of what I was going to say. And, I thought that Bel would raise her hand as well.
"Bel. Is there anything that you've noticed?"
"..Yes. As a matter of fact I've had that sort of feeling since a short while ago. When I'm using Shooting Intuition, if I concentrate even further while using it I feel like the hitting rate gets even higher."
Ho~? The last time I Identified Bel..when was it again? However, I guess the time I read the details of her Unique Ability was around the time we met...I'll s.h.i.+ft my sight a bit so it doesn't feel unnatural and try Identifying her.
"He~? Toris, Gwine what about you two?"
【Unique Ability: Shooting Intuition; an ability which makes the intuition of the user sharper and raises their accuracy when shooting. At level 0 it gives a correction of 5% to their normal shooting capability.............has no effect on the abilities of the device used to shoot or the distance or force of the projectile fired with it.The expanded ability at MAX level is that by consuming another additional 1 MP there's an additional 50% correction added to the shooting ability of the user.】
I see.
Also, the only ones who's Unique Abilities are at MAX level are Toris and Gwine. Ralpha is close to level 8 but it's still level 7.
Toris is twisting his head. I tried Identifying him but there was nothing that had particularly changed. I wonder if the expansion ability only blooms if you continue using your ability even after it reaches MAX level? It feels like Gwine is somehow hesitating on it. I wonder if maybe she's noticed it as well?
【Unique Ability: Geographical Memory {Mapping}; The details of all terrain seen while using this ability can be stored in memory. Also, during use of this ability you can understand when you've entered a terrain that you've previously stored.........visual information is falsified, the falsified information will be stored in memory. The expanded ability at MAX level is while viewing a terrain already stored in memory(this works even in the case the ability is already in use), if the the user is currently inside of that terrain they can comprehend their current location in both first-person and bird's eye view.】
Hohou. In Gwine's case, it doesn't require any additional MP.
"Umm, it's just somehow but recently I feel like I have..noticed something as well. During the time I'm imagining the map in my head, I can understand where my current location is on that map."
Umu...However, since Bel and Gwine honestly reported theirs I have no choice other than to say mine as well. Out of the options I had already prepared in advance I pick the one that is most suitable. Honestly speaking, putting aside Bel or Gwine I didn't think they had noticed it. Even I wouldn't have realized that I was earning experience points towards my magic skills if I didn't observe it using Identify. I still don't know what kind of expanded ability Identify has after all. That's why, I thought to go with the maximum amount of compromise on this end as well.
"So Toris hasn't noticed anything? I see. In my case, it's become even easier for me to learn new spells. This is a bit different from up until now. It's true that up until now I was able to learn new spells. If that wasn't the case then I wouldn't be able to make use of as many different types of spells as as I do."
I took another sip of bean tea before opening my mouth again.
"For example, if there's a spell A here that I don't know. The easiest method for me to acquire this spell A is to have it actually used in front of me and them directly coach me on how to use it. This is the same as everyone right? The next easiest way is to just have someone use it and not receive any coaching. The next method is to only be told the details and effects of the spells. However, it's only obvious but in all of those cases there's the prerequisite of how much mana each of those spells use. I think you can understand that including me this is the same for everyone."
Everyone is nodding.
"But, particularly in the case of the last method, if it's just that it's quite difficult. Even when I have Magic Acquisition it's considerably difficult to do. My mother was my teacher in magic. She was only able to use the elemental magic fire and water. My mother had no method of coaching me on using spells that require earth or wind magic. However, in my case, just as everyone knows, since I have a lot of mana the number of times I could do trial and error was extremely high. I repeated trial and error countless times and slowly made them my own.
I'm sure that after everyone started training with magic there's countless things you could have noticed but using a new spell itself isn't all that difficult. However, that's only in the case that spell actually exists and you've seen it used in front of your eyes. Using the example from just now even if there's a spell called A that you know the name of, if you've never actually seen it then in most cases you're still doubting it's existence somewhere in your mind. Even though I just mentioned the spells named {Report}, {Detect Magic User}, and {Telepathy} I don't think you'll be able to use them with just that."
I s.h.i.+fted my position on the chair again before continuing.
"However, my Magic Acquisition ability let's me reasonably become able to use a spell just by learning the name and effect of it in a short amount of time. And then, the hidden ability that was released by reaching the highest level, it's just somewhat but it makes it easier for me to develop my own spells. I haven't put any effort into it yet but I think I'm going to make a new spell using this."
I grin while looking around at everyone.
"It will be an expansion of {Status Open}. I think it would be good if I can see peoples {Status} without touching them directly. Particularly, if I can see things that only the person them self could see until now like Unique Abilities, special skills..and if I could see the levels of magic it would be the best. It would be an advantage in searching for reincarnated people, and from here on out, I think it would be helpful in finding talents to make my country."
Gwine seemed like she had something she wanted to say.
"Gwine, is there something you want to say? What is it?"
"..Wun, I was just wondering how that would be useful?"
"Gwine, think carefully about it. I think it would be extremely useful. For example, if you caught a glimpse of someone that seemed to be j.a.panese in the town. If Al-san can use the spell he just mentioned there then he can tell if they're a reincarnated person without even being noticed by them. This advantage is big. It's an unpleasant way of putting it and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but before the other side even notices you could grasp their weakness if possible and start surrounding them before they know it. If you can do that then even if they refuse negotiations it's possible they'd be forced to become allies. After all there's no guarantee everyone will sympathize with Al-san, I'm sure there's cases where people normally want to do their jobs or live with their families as well. It would be big if we could make people like those into allies."
Toris said. And then, Bel continues to open her mouth.
"Since the two of us have already made our decisions, it's a bit late to be saiyng anything at this point but rather than grasping the other persons weaknesses, I'm sure we can find things that would be of merit to them and get them to become our allies. It's big that we can find merits that are tailored closer to the interests of the other person as well. Of course, even if the other person isn't a reincarnated person it's big that we can find out their name and family ahead of time as well."
Next, even Ralpha added on as well.
"If you can see monsters as well then it could be convenient..like special skills. Since magic didn't work on that {golem} from the other day.."
Zenom says while his arms are still crossed.
"..However, even if you can make a spell like that, we can't tell anyone about it. I'm sure anyone would dislike knowing you can use {Status Open} freely on anyone at anytime. Just thinking about it is creepy."
"That's true."
I make a bitter smile while replying.
"However, please rest easy, Zenom. I don't think it would be so easy to use right and left. It's just my guess but I feel like it would use a considerably amount of mana. Even if I can do it I don't think it's something I could use a number of times. It feels like it would be more of a decisive technique. When it comes to using it on monsters in the dungeon unless it's a considerably powerful enemy it would just be a pointless waste of mana. It might not be all that useful in combat."
And then,
"I don't know how much time it will take for me to complete it as well."
By explaining it not as the Unique Ability, Identify, but rather just a type of spell then I should be able to decrease the amount of evasive feelings they get in regards to it. Furthermore, if I make it so that it uses a considerable amount of mana then even if they ask me to teach it to them they won't be able to use it. Almost like the spell {Report} to me.
"Sorry but that's about all of the information I heard from my wife. It would be good if Toris can notice the expansion ability to his Scales."
I said that and finished things up.
"Now then, the next thing. This morning, I talked with the King. Putting it frankly, there's a reasonably good story and one that's not very good at all. I guess I'll start from the reasonably good story."
Everyone is focused on me again.
"It seems that fundamentally, it's {OK} for me to create my own independent country at my own convenience. And, buying a portion of the royal territory..is a weird way of expressing it, but I guess that's fine, if I can buy some , then fundamentally Rombert Kingdom itself won't attack us if we don't take any hostile actions towards them first. Though they won't save us even if we're attacked by countries other than Rombert."
Ho~ and I heard sighs of relief from everyone.
"That's wonderful isn't it. It's big that one large points of grief has disappeared!"
Toris said. That's certainly true.
"Ah, that's right. However..I was beaten, after all that old man King isn't an ordinary guy."
After I said that and everyone leaned forward a bit.
"From here on is the news that isn't very good. Like I just said, buying some of the royal territory from the King is fine itself. Though it might be considerably smaller than the edge of the East like Count Rinflait's territory but it's not a territory as barren as there. Or rather, it would be fine to say the land itself is quite fertile. However, there's several large problems. For starters, the problem of money..It's 10,000,000,000 Z. Otherwise handing over a useful magic tool that rivals that amount."
".."
I'm sure they had somewhat predicted it. It's for that reason that we're still tirelessly exploring the dungeon.
"The next problem is the fact that it's a territory in the Dirt Plains."
""Eeehh!!?""
That's only obvious.
"That's right. It's common knowledge but there's conflicts with Devas Kingdom there all the time. It seems fine if we don't take into consideration attacks from the Rombert side but I'm sure things won't go that way with Devas. And then, the problem that is inclusive of that. Bel and Zulu were born in Devas. Zulu is fine, but Bel, it might be possible you would have to cross swords with people from your own country. Or rather, I'm definitely sure Devas would try to lay a hand on us so it's not just a matter of possibility. If it comes to that Bel, can you fight? It will be a death match to protect our land. Depending on the case since the Koloil family is a Sub-Baron they might partic.i.p.ate in the attack."
I said while making a sour face, and everyone, was looking at Bel's face. Gwine is looking at Bel quite worried. However, only Toris isn't looking at Bel and is standing together with her looking at me.
"Al-san. When I turn 20 years old I intend to marry Toris. If it comes to that then I won't be Bernadette.Koloil but Bernadette.Karlstalan. And I won't be the second daughter of a sub-Baron but I will be the first wife of Count Kalstalan in the country that Al-san makes. No, the Kalstalan family that Toris leads in our new kingdom will aim to be a Marquis, so I'll become the first wife of Marquis Kalstalan. If the Sub-Baron Koloil of Devas Kingdom offers their allegiance to us then I'd like to accept them but if that's not the case then that would make them invaders. What is there to worry about a Marquis of the Kingdom fighting against some invaders?"
I was worrying about whether you could separate things inside of you. First wife (candidate).
However, you sure are intense. Somehow I'm a bit worried about Toris, but Toris is standing composed next to Bel.
After hearing Bel's declaration starting with Zenom, Ralpha and Gwine were all dumbfounded.
However, I've certainly been shown the resolve of you, you two.
Someday prove it to me.
"..That is..excuse me on that. Sorry..forgive me."
I'll definitely offer you some good conditions.
"..Fu~ Since Bel and Toris are saying that then I guess there's no grief on that end. However, it's very possible that it will come down to some serious conflicts. Honestly speaking..I have to question whether the Dirt Plains is really a good choice..It's not like I've actually seen it after all."
By the way, since you're saying first wife does that mean you're resolved for second or third wives? you.
You're seriously intense.
Ah, I see. I forgot to mention it. Maybe because there was this, she gave up and was saying things like first wife?
"And then, sorry, I forgot to mention it. It seems that when it's between reincarnated people even if they're different races they can have children easier than normally. My wife..Lilus mentioned it. It seems she saw several pairs of them as well."
Bel and Toris made surprised expressions while exchanging glances and smiled.
I need to make sure to properly mention it later. Don't forget to use condoms...
After that, we all got into a debate about whether the Dirt Plains were better, or the East is better as our conversation continued late into the night.
