From The Strongest Job Of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes Are Depending On Me Volume 1 Chapter 25

That night, Berzelia and I tested the performance of the past transportation skill in the living room on the first floor.

　We've been doing this for the past two days. There are many things we are yet to know about past transportation.

　If I were simply messing around with it then the high amount of uncertain points wouldn't be a problem, but since I'm going to use it for work then I have to understand it.

　And with that in mind, I've been experimenting for a few days,

　And today as well, while touching the completely emptied transportation bag—

「Well, for starters, 【Vision Enhancement】」

　I then think of the skill that I've been using before.

　Then, vision has clearly expanded, and every detail became much more p.r.o.nounced.

　Enough to see that everything was cleaned so thoughtfully, and there is hardly even a single speck of dust.

「Our living room is so clean.」

「Ehehe, that's because I cleaned it well. The floor was also properly washed.」

　Said Berzelia who was watching my experiments from the sofa in the living room.

「Well, I'm glad that you are doing the cleaning, but why can the traces from wiping the floor be read as『Love Master』…」

「AAH, WAAH, even though I erased it with a dry cloth!　Or rather, was your vision enhancement that strong before?!」

　Berzelia tried to change the subject in panic.

　Panicking, she looks cute as well, but I feel bad troubling her late in the night, so I go along with her attempts to change the subject.

「I wonder. It's my first time using it without the helmet so it might simply be the effect from the expanded field of vision.」

　Until now, that helmet was linked with all of the dragon knight's skills. In that sense, this is a fresh sensation, were my thoughts as I continued my experiments.

「The next one is【Jump Enhancement】」

　On top of strengthening my eyesight, I tried to pull more skills from the past.

　Then, I felt the power flowing in my feet, suddenly making my whole body lighter. In that state I tried to jump lightly using only my toes, and—

「——oh, yes. Jumping capability has enhanced.」

　Flying through the first floor I stopped at the ceiling of the second floor.

「Whoa. Jumping that high without any preliminary movement, Master, isn't your jumping strength higher than it was in the past?」

「I wonder. I might have forgotten the sensation since I didn't try this for a while. And there is also a possibility that the helmet was heavy. ——Ah, well, let's try the next one.」

　While continuing to jump on my toes, I tried to transport another skill.

「【Hearing enhancement】」

　That was another pa.s.sive skill of dragon knights.　

　I chose it because I could safely use it inside the room, but—

「Master, how is it?」

　The voice of whispering Berzelia could be clearly heard even right under the roof.

　As well as what was happening outside of the house, the noises of the City of Stars filled my mind all at once.

「Looks like it is enhanced. But in exchange vision enhancement was lost.」

　Looking at the floor, I could no longer see the marks left after wiping the floor.

　Which means that when hearing enhancement came into effect the vision enhancement was lost, I thought as I landed from another jump.

　…Well, for the most part, detailed conditions were revealed in the previous experiments.

　Past transportation can be used only with sufficient capacity available, in return, it is possible to pull up to two skills from the past. In addition, if more than two skills were to be drawn, it is possible to control which one of the old skills the new skill will override.

　Right now I thought of swapping vision enhancement for hearing enhancement and it worked.

「When I act as a carrier I will be able to use only one skill, and it seems that switching between useful skills one after another might be a valid technique. It seems like I have to think about the order of switching though.」

「Right. And from my point of view, it seems that Master's skills became more powerful.」

　Hearing Berzelia's words I closed my eyes and tilted my head.

「My abilities are getting stronger, huh… I wonder. I don't feel like my skills were strengthened.」

　However, as I personally experienced it, the effects of the skills seem to be improved.

　Also, with my head free from that helmet, I feel like the amount of incoming information has also increased.

　In other words, there is a huge possibility that it's due to my movements no longer being hindered by that helmet.

「Though that Helm of The Dragon Knight King boasted pretty strong defense. To think it had the special effect that lowered the strength of the skills…」

「ahahaha… That's absurd…」

「You are right. There is no way.」

　And if it really was the truth, then it would mean that I really was cursed by that helmet for a long time, which is pretty saddening, is what I thought when—

「——……Oh……Oh……」

　I heard something like a voice, clinging into the depths of my ears. It's from the outside of the house.

「Hm?　Did you hear a strange voice just now?　Something like a moan.」

「Eh?　Really?　I didn't hear anything…」
　Asking Berzelia only left her puzzled.

「Could it be that because of the hearing enhancement I'm picking up sounds that normally I wouldn't be able to? They say that some monsters and magical beasts can make sounds that humans can't hear.」

「Aah, like the language of dragons. When I say my name in the draconic language in my dragon form, it might be too high pitched to hear.」

「I see… However, I don't remember hearing such a voice when I was wearing that helmet.」

「Master, wasn't that helmet really cursed?　Well, thanks to it I was able to meet with you, so I don't want to badmouth it, but…」

「I as well received an invaluable experience because of it, so I don't want to flat out reject it but… 」

　In the first place, the reason why I can now experience the increased effects of pa.s.sive skills is because I acted as a dragon knight before while wearing that helmet. Since I'm not wearing it right now, there is no problem. Or so I decided to think.

「Well, there is a lot of things I learned. I guess I will experiment for a little more today before going to sleep.」

「Yup! I will stick with you until the end, Master!」

　Then, we went to sleep after we thoroughly tested the features of the transportation bag.
