Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Chapter 257

Year 7446, Month 9, Day 1

"There's no whatever or anything else, I really don't know much of anything at all."

Teacher Mila made a troubled face as she said it. It seems it's not like she's trying to hide it but she really doesn't know much of anything about it.

"..It's not like I'm hiding anything though. What I know is..I guess..Only about the origins of how the dungeon was made."

Wh..What was that!?

"Oh! Would you please tell me about that!?"

Origins huh? That's something I'd absolutely like to hear about.

"And, even if I say that. The one who made this dungeon was the Demi-G.o.d Besshu-sama. But, I don't know what the reason for making it was, though I don't have any interest in that either so it doesn't matter at all."

I see Besshu-sama...Demi-G.o.d huh? It seems there's the influence of a considerable number of G.o.ds on Orth. However, things like G.o.ds I don't really have much interest in for right now. Miki, no Lilus, if her name came out then it would be different though.

"I see. So, a Demi-G.o.d was the one who made it. Come to think of it, previously you said there was a condition to come to this area from the 3rd floor right. Right now, when we use the teleport crystal on the 3rd floor we aren't chanting the incantation that floats on the surface of it. We're teleporting using the method we heard from Lilus but what was the method that teacher mentioned at that time?"

"That time..Ah, the second or third time you two came here..What kind of method did you hear about from Lilus-sama? Well, it's probably the same though."

Teacher Mila already knows about Unique Abilities. I guess it's already fine. It seems there's nothing good that will come from hiding it from the fairies. I explained that we got here by singing song from the world Miduchi and I previously lived in and were born to this one from and that phrases in it were the key to the teleport from the 3rd floor.

Since I felt it was necessary to explain it at the same time, I gave a simple explanation that most likely George.Rombert the First may have been from a different time period, he was a "human" from the same country, and then, also said that Lilus was born in the same world as well.

Additionally I was about to say that Lilus was my wife as well but before I could say that, hearing everything up to there teacher Mila wasn't surprised at all as she casually replied.

"Yeah, I thought it something along those lines. I've heard that originally we lived on the surface in a land called Gwirumu. We were supposedly in a corner of wetlands that was at the side of a lake far bigger than the one here. But you know, just as you can see, we're too weak to live on the surface. Putting aside Miduchi, since Al has Identify I'm sure you can imagine. During the time we lived on the surface even those who lived the longest was at greatest several decades. A lot of our allies pa.s.sed away being eaten by something."

"No way.."

Miduchi was shocked.

"If we can live for hundreds of years then both our mana and our magic special skill levels increase so it's more difficult to die though. However, our grandparents from that time couldn't stay alive that long so easily."

Ho!? It seems it's turning into quite the story...

"Quietly and as if hiding, though I say that it was in a world that's so wide it's not even worth comparing to here we tried to live leisurely. But, at one point, a rumor started to spread around that the scales from fairy wings are a miracle cure for any disease. A lot of human races came along and tore off our wings. Fairies are weak after all. If our wings are torn off we die in a few days. Ah, I'll just say this but that it's a miracle cure is a lie. That's not the case."

For just a moment I thought about requesting sharing a bit of those scales for the sake of Miduchi's older brother. I wonder what Miduchi was thinking. I was about to look to my side but stopped.

"Lilus-sama found out about us on her travels and must have pitied us. She said that she would prepare a place we can live peacefully. Ah, at that time it was still before she had become a Demi-G.o.d. After that countless tens and hundreds of years pa.s.sed, around the time our numbers cut 100, Lilus-sama appeared at Gwirumu once more and guided our few remaining grandparents that had survived to this land."

"Your majesty.."

Lilus traveled from the East to the West. It's a story from when she was still just a simple Elf {Immortal} before she had become a {Demi-G.o.d} and obviously a Dark Elf.

I need to get even more used to it.

"The last time you taught us about the resist type spells, so once again this time could you teach us some kind of spell for protecting our bodies?"

After I said that teacher Mila said, "You said you know about {Bark Skin} right. Do you know about {Stone Skin} and {Iron Skin}?"

Miduchi and I exchanged gla.s.ses before we had her start teaching us those two spells..though I'm sure the duration will just disappear right away. Judging from the name it seems to be the same type of spell as {Bark Skin} after all...

"That, I can somehow understand that it's more powerful in comparison to {Bark Skin} but is the duration of the effect the same as well?"

"Hn? I guess so. The duration of it is the same I'm sure. The only difference is the defensive power."

Hmn, I wonder about that. Only about 30 seconds for even me huh? It seems difficult to find a place to use it but I'm sure it's useful.

Miduchi was taught {Stone Skin} and I was taught {Iron Skin}.

In the first place if both of us take the time casting it it's not as if we can't use the spell {Bark Skin}, or at least at that level, and I guess the trick to it was different we struggled a bit to learn it.

If I can deploy a defensive field in one or two seconds then it might be useful one day.

With just that as hope we started engaging in practice to learn the spells.

Also, as a bonus Miduchi was taught the spell {Flame Strike} and I was taught the spell {Water Breathing}.

{Flame Strike} is a spell that sends three small {Fire b.a.l.l.s} radiating outwards and while each of the individual {Fire b.a.l.l.s} don't reach the level of the spell {Fire Ball} and obviously it's impossible to control them individual, it's a spell that makes it possible to burn away a somewhat wide range of area. Obviously if you pour more mana into it then it's possible to increase the number of fire b.a.l.l.s as well.

The spell {Water Breathing} is just as the name sounds it makes it possible for you to breathe underwater. However, it was unexpectedly difficult to get a grasp on the trick for it, I ended up struggling quite a bit. I mean you know, you have to let water enter your lungs and then take the oxygen from there. At the very least that's how I understood it as working. In other words, it's necessary to drown. Of course, if the spell displays it's effects then you won't drown but the moment water enters your trachea you can't help but instinctively refuse it.

As expected even I was at my limits with this. In the end I was able to learn the spell itself but it end up taking quite a bit of time up until then and since Miduchi got interested in it she just kept struggling with learning it as well and because of the problem with her mana amount she wasn't able to learn it during the time we were in the Fairy Village.

Well, putting that aside, it's big that we were able to learn some defense type spells that seem reasonably useful. {Bark Skin} isn't anything great for the effects it offers and it's a spell that's pretty well-known as well. However, what could be called the advanced versions of that {Stone Skin} and {Iron Skin}, Miduchi and I had never even heard of them before.

There's also the problem of magic special level and MP needed in order to use them but if we can just make use of these then I think it would also be rea.s.suring as well. Particularly Ralpha who stands at the front line. After all it differs from {Bark Skin} in that it doesn't require water magic.
