81 Episode 81 "The Valley of the Fog and the New Awakening of Cheat Skills".txt (2/2)

To be precise, he's playing with something that looks like a smartphone in his hand. I don't know if it's a real smartphone or a magic item in this world.

I think it's ...... ”The Visitor”.

Possibly. If he's a prince, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a cheat character escort. ......

The parade proceeded slowly and passed us by.

''Speaking of which, old man. What is that prince's name?

”This is Mr. Kravis-League Nadal,

The old man's answer was short.

I'd never heard the name of the king's family before.

We're home.

I'll be at the market, I'll be at the door of the house.

I have a request. Master.

I saw Raphilia on her knees in the doorway.

'Please allow me to go free for the rest of the day ────!

Yeah. That pretty much sums it up.

”Rafilia's going on a quest for the Valley of the Mists. I want to know the reason for the trapped memory. But as a slave, she cannot act on her own without my permission. So, you want my permission, right?

............ my thoughts are moot in front of the master.

In her kneeling position, Raphilia only looked up.

''But, Rafilia. Didn't you say before, 'I'm not going to search for my memories because the present is important'?

Yes, but ............ one thing we had a problem with.

Problem?

I've been afraid to approach the Master ever since.

.................. Yes?

Raphilia looks at me seriously.

I haven't seen this look on her face since she paid me for my bad luck. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make this kind of face.

''Since the master said something like ...... 'blame it on blame', I thought, ”Well, what if I inadvertently lose control of it?

Didn't you say it was a misunderstanding?

But I'm his slave. I've decided to give my body and soul to him.

That thought and the thought of what to do if my past is wrong, that's why I'm afraid of .......

In order to give everything to the master, I want to know that I don't have a rut in my past!

With a shake of her pink hair, Rafilia announced once and for all: ”I'll give up if I can't find a clue in this 'Valley of the Mist'.

If I don't find a clue to my memories in this Valley of the Mist, I will give up. I will put aside my fears and serve my master for the rest of my life. So, please allow me to go free for now. I won't cause you any trouble, please ...... master.

Yeah, okay.

I said.

'Well, I'll just say that Rafilia asked me for a quest this time.

”............ you are?

Since I'm on vacation, I'll make participation optional.

Rita has already announced her participation, so it's confirmed. Iris should come since she has Rafilia as her mentor.

Cecil and Aine are ...... There's no way they'll be the only two left.

I mean, I can't think of any members in our party who might announce their non-participation.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's interested. But since we're on holiday, you're free to join us. You have the right of veto. And I've thought about how to deal with the fog. I don't think it's too dangerous. Okay, who's going to participate?

You don't have to ask me twice, and I don't like to be left behind.

Rita and Aine raised their hands straight up.

Yeah. I knew they'd say that.

''I'll discuss it with Cecil and Iris as well, but I think I'll divide the party into two groups this time. If it's 'Heavenly Dragon Wings' that awakened Rafilia's memories, then there's a possibility that the Heavenly Dragon is involved in this case.

That's why the group of Cecil, Iris, Rafilia, Rafilia, and I called 'Old Blood' will enter the 'Valley of the Mist'. Rita and Aine, please back up outside the valley.''

...... I'm not with Nagi?

I need Rita and her team to watch our backs. It's an important role.

Yeah, ...... I can't help it, I get it.

Rita nodded reluctantly.

Aine looked at me with concern, but she nodded along with Rita.

'The problem is time, if the prince is going to enter the valley in seven days, the soldiers might block the valley before then. So, I'm sorry for the forced march, but we'll leave tomorrow. We'll have a meeting right away. Rita should go get Cecil and Iris, and Aine, I'm sorry, but can you prepare tea for everyone?

All right. Nagi.” ”Yes, my dear. Nah.

We've considered the benefits and the risks.

We've planned for the Mist of Deception.

The key is that each adventurer, deceived by the fog, attacked the other with his or her own weapon. In other words, you can't lose your weapons even in the fog. That's where the breakthrough is.

The problem is, if there are more obstacles, but if it's too dangerous for our lives, we'll just go home.

I'm sorry to tell Raphilia, but my life is the priority.

...... I was going to go anyway.

The Legacy of the Demon Race, the Dragon's Treasure, and the Elven Treasure - I was interested in any of them that had something to do with the valley.

But if it wasn't for that prince, I was going to take it a bit slower.

Specifically, loving everyone's bathing suits and taking plenty of hot springs.

But the prince is the king's official - so there's a possibility that he has visitors with him.

Visitors have a rough way of doing things. The same is true of Tanaka-Koga, who I met at Metekal, the fake demon tribe I met at the hot springs, and Eterina Haasburg, who was trying to ruin the Irgapha festival, were all banging around like they were bragging about their cheat skills.

So, if we enter the valley before the prince, there's a chance that something important or a clue to our memories will be destroyed. And if that happens, there's no point in going into the valley.

We just want to do a little light searching before the place is vandalized.

Just to see if we can get Rafilia's memories and rewards.

''Rafilia, for now, write down as much information about the 'Valley of the Mist' as you know.

”Mataa: ......

Of course, this time I'll pretend it's a quest request from Rafilia.

Okay, I see. I'll multiply the amount of my slave contract by 1,000 and give you all that money!

You don't have to do that.

Why do you immediately try to put an astronomical figure on the amount of the contract?

'The reward will be the information we get in the valley and if we get the gems, we'll pay everyone from Raphilia's share. Okay?

'Yes!　That is of course!

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for you. That's the reward we get for this quest. Is that okay?

There are no words for the Master's mercy.

So I said enough with the getting down on my knees.

Kneeling is rare for elves, but when it's done right in front of you, it feels like you're doing something wrong.

I promise to wield all my power for the Master, no matter who I am. Besides, the 'Instrumental Degradation Lv 1' that Master gave me today has already found an effective use for it!

Effective use?

'So!　May I help you change your clothes?

You can go to .......

With a snap, Rafilia's fingers touched my back.

'Activate!　”Instrumental degradation LV1!

(with a) thump

The knot in the cord was untied and the 'leather armor' fell to my feet.

'Oh, this is so much easier,'

Uh-huh. Yes, sir!

Rafilia's big breasts fluttered and bent over.

I was surprised. I didn't know they could be used like this.

To tell the truth, armor, if you don't get used to it, is sometimes hard to put on and take off. Usually I have Aine help me with it.

I see, 'instrumental degradation' temporarily weakens the effect of an item, so I can use it to 'weaken the power of the knot. So you can use it to ”weaken the power of the knot and untie it”?

If you install it on Rita, you might be able to drop the enemy's armor in close combat.

'I hadn't thought of this either. Good job, Rafilia.

Oh, no, I'm embarrassed.

Welcome back, Nagi-sama. I have something to report.

Just in time, Cecil-sama. May I try my new skills?

'Miss Rafilia?　Yes, of course.

This is one of the uses for 'property degradation'!

Wait a minute Rafilia.

Put your hand on the back of Cecil's waist........no way!

'Activate!　”Instrumental degradation LV1!

(with a) thump

Cecil's 'apprentice wizard's robe' fell at his feet.

A little later, the untied sash too.

A beautiful brown skin appeared in front of me.

Smooth shoulders and breasts, smooth stomach, pure white underwear and...

'Huh, huh?

'Thus!　In the blink of an eye, Master was admiring the beauty of Cecil and his friends... Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm getting carried away, Master!　Confiscation?　Please don't confiscate my skills!　I won't do it again, aaaaah!

For now, Raphilia made him sit upright ...... and praised him with a little ”guggy” in his mind.

After cowering in the corridor, I restrained Cecil, who for some reason was about to stand up with a ready face, and made him put on his clothes - and take a deep breath - and then.

'I'm back.'

Welcome back, Nagi. I have something to tell you.

Anyway, he started over from the beginning.

Cecil held his chest, and with a bang, paid off the hem of his re-dressed clothes.

”My level of 'ancient language chanting' has increased.

He put his hands on his hips and said in a scornful manner.

'Because you fought a flying dragon (wyvern)?'

'Yes!　It's probably ...... though.

This is the first time I've ever seen the level of a 'rebuilt' skill go up.

I thought it was level 1, but it's still strong enough. It's still strong enough.

''Also, my level of fire magic has been increased.

You're doing great. Good job, Cecil.

Heh.

Cecil stroked his head and Cecil's eyes narrowed ticklishly.

Cecil-Falot's level has increased.

'Ancient Language Chanting' became level 2.

The speed of magic has been doubled (no change in duration).

Fire Magic is now level 3. Summoning Flame Spirit (Summoning the Summoning Elemental) learned.

Doesn't the level of the 'rebuilt' skills not go up?

It's just that the stronger the skill, the slower it seems to rise.

Cecil is barely able to do that after defeating so many enemies.

'Come to think of it, Aine also had 'Demon Sweeping' at level 2.

Aine reported as she went to the living room to make a cup of tea.

Aine = Clunet's level has increased.

'Demon Sweeping' became level 2.

I can now blow away enemies the size of ”Goblins”!

...... It's a crazy cheat.

In addition, Aine asked me for a 'knee pillow' (the one I'd be doing) as a reward.

Rita's 'Incomparable Singing' used this time is unchanged. Rafilia's ”Torrential Rain Archery” is still at level 1.

My ”Delayed Combat” remains unchanged since I didn't hit the flying dragon (I released it in the middle of nowhere).

But if the two of them have improved their cheat skills, it's safe to say that they can go to the Valley of Mist. We can leave Rita and Aine behind us, and even if strong enemies come in the valley, we can use Cecil's magic to wipe them out.

We also need to ...... talk to Cecil, Iris, and Rafilia about the countermeasures against the ...... 'Mist of Deception' and .......

And so the ”Valley of Fog” strategy meeting for Rafilia's memory and living expenses continued until dinner──.

In the end, the sight-seeing, the hot springs and everyone's swimsuits were put on hold until the end of the quest.
