On the way home, the Reaper cocks his head at the ring I made.

'--What's that?'

Yeah, I made a magic tool.

Holding it in the palm of his hand, he takes his time to show the ring 'Crystal Shield'.

''Oh, oh!　This is what a magic tool looks like!　That's a glittery ring!

You can touch it. Just look closely.

Whenever my work is praised, it makes me strangely happy. I was already feeling the joy of being a creator.

”Hey, can I turn it on?

Of course. I mean, that's for you. Originally, I was going to give it to someone else.

'Yay!　Turn it on!　...... hmmm, mmmm?　It doesn't go in well - oh, it goes in nicely here!

The size of the ring is appropriate.

Mr. Allivers prepared a smaller ring in anticipation of my companion, but I didn't tell him the exact number.

As a result, the one that fit just right on the Reaper's finger - the ring finger of my left hand.

'Hmm, hmm ......?'

I'm the only one in my world that has this practice.

It's just a coincidence. The only person who cares about it is me who knows about it. So, I don't blame them for anything in particular.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. Do I look good?

Oh, yeah. Looks good on you, Reaper.

The Reaper happily looks at the crystal ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Even though I know he's not in the habit of doing so, I'm left with a bizarre sense of embarrassment. However, I don't want to pour water on the Reaper who is this overjoyed, so I can't tell him to replace it with another finger.

As it is, I don't say anything, and I'm trying to pass through the 'Connection' in the office - the skill 'Sensory' sounds an alarm (alert).

The sound of the alarm was violent and even screamed that he was in danger of dying if he didn't do anything about it.

His body stiffens at the sudden advice.

''--!

'Wow!　Hey, what's going on?　Brother?

The Reaper bumps into my back because I suddenly stopped walking.

I turn around and leave the bewildered Reaper behind to find the source of the skill 'Sensitivity' activated.

The ring on the Reaper's ring finger.

It's not safe to go back with this on. I realize that very soon. Apparently, he'd run out of concentration in the forge and his head was boiling. I can't believe I can't figure out the answer to such a simple equation.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Reaper, but would you mind putting that ring away?

'What?　Yeah, okay, but ......

'Don't show off too much to people. I only have one: ......

Okay!

The Reaper nodded honestly and tucked the ring into a horizontal pocket around his stomach.

At the same time, the thunderous alarm of the skill 'sensitivity' stops.

''Feng .......''

It's a relief.

I was almost ready for more unnecessary hassle.

I take a deep breath repeatedly to release the tension.

Then, with the same level of caution as when challenging the guardian (Guardian) layer, I go through the 'Connection' and return to the 'Living Legend'.

Crossing the dimensions, we move to the deck of the ship.

Feeling the unique swaying of the ship and the sea breeze, I look around.

A large table is placed on the deck, and a wide variety of food is being served on it. His friends were sitting around it. I could tell they were all waiting for me to arrive by the way they were chatting and laughing with their stomachs.

'Ah, welcome back, Kanami-san. Have a seat there, let's have lunch.

Maria didn't get angry at me for being late, but kindly invited me to sit down.

Per Rastiara, he didn't hesitate to complain, so he apologized for being late and took his seat.

Then, we all started to take our meals.

It was a sumptuous lunch, mainly consisting of fresh fish dishes. We had everything from sashimi to grilled fish, using all the fish that Snow and the others would probably have caught.

There's nothing fancy about soy sauce, so we eat the fish with the juice of a fruit that resembles yuzu.

However, it's hard to get your hands on the unique dishes that are unique to this other world that you've never seen before.

Although there was a dish that resembled a pie wrapping, I didn't know how to eat it, so I continued to watch the situation. I don't want to be thought of as unpolite, even though I'm dealing with a group of well-meaning friends.

Maria, who was distrustful of the situation, anxiously asked me about it.

''Well, is there something you don't like about Kanami-san ......?''

'No, there's nothing I'm not good at eating. It's just that I've never seen this dish before, so I've been waiting to try to copy how everyone else eats it: ......

Oh, I see. You shouldn't have minded. I'll let you pick and choose at .......

Thank you. Please.

Maria uses a small plate to try to select the food in the pie wrapper.

Her devotion is as healthy as a newlywed spouse. I want her to follow the example of the dragon man (Dragon Newt), who just a few days ago declared himself to be a bride or something.

Incidentally, Snow is just contentedly munching on her food and doesn't try to help Maria.

Then, seeing Maria sharing her food, the Reaper leans in.

''Ah, Maria big sister!　And for me!

The Reaper tries to hand the small plate in hand to Maria, who is across from him.

Naturally, the body's stance is fully extended.

-- The alarm (alert) of the skill 'sensitivity' sounds.

What's important here is that the Reaper's clothes are stubby.

It's a black outfit similar to the cloak he generated with magic when he appeared at the 30th level (the Reapers like to wear it. Apparently, he's very attached to it).

''--!

As the Reaper forced himself to lean forward, the stubby clothes that had been flapping around were stretched out. As a result, the Reaper's ring, which had been lazily tucked away, was about to fall out of his pocket.

My body, which has survived the fierce battle, moves as quickly as possible. It was not a thought, but a reflex.

I leaned forward, as did the Reaper, and reached for the ring in her bosom.

''Reaper!

'Yeah, yeah, yeah!

You activate the ”Dimension Graduation” without chanting.

The magical power in your body boils rapidly and sends an electric shock to your brain. Then, the electric current rushing through your body awakens all of your cells.

Due to the awakened consciousness, the world moves like slow motion. In the midst of the momentary world, my right arm slowly reaches out to the Reaper's bosom. And before the ring can spill out, my hand manages to grab it and push it back into the bosom.

'--Okay!

What?　Big brother!

All of a sudden, the Reaper was confused.

I used 'parallel thinking' to assess the situation and come up with the best excuse.

'...... Uh, yeah. The Reaper's clothes were going to get on my food.

Oh, thanks ......, brother.

The Reaper blushes and thanks me.

I was about to reply that I don't need to thank him, when Maria's voice is interrupted by a dazed and confused voice.

'Kanami-san, how long are you going to stick your hand in the ....... Inside the reaper's clothes, you're naked, and beyond that, its ......

It took me a while to understand the meaning of those words.

When I understood, my body froze. At the same time, the alarm of the skill ”sensitivity” sounded loudly again.

The roar of the alarm (alert) echoes in my brain just as I'm relieved, and I'm surprised to hear my body tremble.

However, I can't stay rigid like this. If I don't remove my hands from the Reaper's clothes quickly, they'll think I'm s*xually harassing them. I just wonder if I can move without thinking about it when the skill 'sensitivity' alarm (alert) is sounding. I think, but still, it's not good to keep touching a girl's soft skin. You have to get out of it before anything else. Otherwise, the nightmare I'm always thinking about will come true now. All of the skills have determined that that much danger is swirling around this table. I have come to that conclusion, and--

Then, in a hurry, the contents of my pockets fall out of my hands as I try to pull them out.

A crystal ring falls on the table with a thud.

The ring, with the same elaborate design as the engagement ring, reflects the sunlight and shines.

It's a merciless glow that blows away all the hard work I've put into it.

Hmm, Reaper, what is that ......?

Snow, who was sitting next to me, eyeballed it.

''What, this?　I got it from my brother earlier.

'What, Kanami to ......, ring ......?'

What--?

Immediately develop 'parallel thinking' to the limit.

The brain spins rapidly to the point where it can be called an operation. Without a doubt, today's speed would be the highest ever recorded.

''There's a ring!

The ring?
