130 Episode 130 "Room allocation after the trip was a surprisingly serious problem.".txt (2/2)

”──The artifact's first magic exterior──breakthrough. The first magic personality area──grasping the magic personality area. The second magic exterior──break through. Reaching the center of the universe──starting to control it.

Lines of silver magic power (lines) cover the surface of the breastplate.

A red, core-like object emerges in the center.

''The center has been reached. Come on, Bad Armor. Become Arujidono's: ────!

Fynn's magic gets there, and all at once, it goes in, it stirs, and then...

Pow!

...... Oh, what?

He blew the armor to Konagonan pieces, leaving behind a jet black breastplate.

''Oh, dear?　Ooh la la la ......

............ aha!

............ Arara ......

Um, ...... too much magic?

No, it's not: ...... apparently the only body of this armor was this breastplate. ......

Fynn picked up the black breastplate, still on the ground.

''I can feel it. This breastplate is the only main body of the artifact 'Armor of Valhal'. The other parts were pieced together later, just magical armor. That's why it was so fragile. This is certainly the only thing that hasn't been damaged.

Fynn is scratching his head like he's cheating.

''Instant Sacred Instrumental Grip, Artifact Ruler'' is a 4 concept cheat skill. Not only is it too strong, Fynn has never even used the normal version of Sacred Object Aptitude in the first place. No wonder he didn't understand the additions and subtractions.

''I'm sorry. Arujidono ......

Okay. I was going to take it apart and sell it as material anyway.

But. This ”Balluar's Armor” and the ”Breastplate” have been completely taken over. The effect of the ritual on it has also been cancelled. I also understand the ability of the breastplate. It has ”Barrier Deployment,” ”Physical Attenuation,” and ”The ability to create an artificial body using magic. So you used that power to create a knight's body and a horse.

It was quite a cheat armor.

Is this the level of 'artifacts'?

What if something like this attacked me in the future ...... Well, I don't plan to get involved in the rough stuff, so it might be unlikely. If we were to deal with it, the only way to deal with it would be to install the '4 Concept Cheat Skill' on everyone and use Fynn's 'Immediate Sacred Weapon Grasp' as a trump card.

Then, the destination of this breastplate is──''

''That's what Feen and Cutlass will use it for...''

...... Huh?

Fynn clutched his breastplate like he was surprised.

'Y-You're sure?'

When you have to fight an artifact, Fynn's skills will be your trump card. However, both of their skills need to come into contact with each other. That's why I want to improve my defenses so that I can get close to them.

Arujidon: ”......

'Of course, I'll disguise it so you don't know it's a 'Balluar breastplate'.

Okay, all right. I'll see to it that you do.

With that, Fynn put his hand on his chest and bowed.

It was a graceful bow, as if this was the hall of the royal palace.

''I'll set up a trick to make it as easy as possible for you to remove Arujido!

Why?

Oh, yeah. I've got something to tell you.

Suddenly, with a pop, Fynn clapped his hands and then said.

With a thump, thump, stepping, he clings his body to my chest.

And then, with a smile as if he had a very good thought...

I don't mind being seen, but I think I'm embarrassed to be touched.

What are you talking about?

'No, since you have become a slave, I thought it was important to teach your master about your weaknesses. I want to make sure that Arujidono has complete control over our bodies and minds.

Fynn said, looking directly to the side, as if embarrassed for some reason.

'Let's wait until we get Cutlass' permission to do that sort of thing: ......

Oh, and Cutlass doesn't seem to mind being touched. But he can't be seen. It's just that it gives him a little tingle in the back.

Come here.

What do you mean? You don't know what you're talking about.

”I wonder what I'll become if we merge?

Fynn laughs, as if she were a naughty girl.

'I can't wait to see if I'm going to be an embarrassing girl who can't do either, or if I'm going to be a girl who's okay with both - I can't wait to see...'

After saying the last word - Fynn let go of his consciousness with a thud.

They're tired from using skills they're not used to.

It's the same with Cutlass, and they're both asleep in my arms. The leather collar I just wore around his narrow neck. The Contract is supposed to be terminated once the two personalities are completely united, but it looks like we have a long way to go. Cutlass and Fynn are so different from each other.

I wonder what kind of girl they'll be when they become one: ......

...... Bokko slave princess knight who wants to take off her clothes, or something like that?

............ I can't imagine.

I carried Cutlass on my back and looked at Cecil and Rita.

''Shhh...''

Rita put a finger to her lips and laughed.

'Cecil-chan looks like he's tired, too.

Rita had Cecil lying in the carriage. She put a blanket underneath her, folded her own clothes and put her own blanket over her, using them as a pillow. It's as if he treats his precious sister.

”Cecil-chan, you're doing your best. You should praise her later.

Yeah. Thank you for protecting me.

Stroke me, stroke me, stroke me.

Wow, that wasn't me. ......

Rita shakes her head shyly. Cute.

I lay Cutlass down next to Cecil and put my own blanket over him, just like Rita was doing.

'General!　Good job!' I'm ready to go, chief!

The horses are snorting and snorting. I can't believe these guys had to go through with it.

Thanks, Pickle and Pockle. So, Rita, any sign of the enemy?

”...... hmm. Not now. No sign of either people or demons.

Okay.

Me and Rita sit side by side in the corner of the carriage.

Before I knew it, Rita had her face close to my chest and was sniffling faintly.

'Mmm. Smells like nagi. Stronger than usual. ...... like.

You're sweating from having just moved.

Nagi's is better.

With that, Rita put her head on my shoulder.

'And by the way, ...... Cutlass and Fynn, that was awesome.'

...... too awesome to worry about, right?

You're the hidden princess of the royal family.

That's not what I meant. I just turned you into a slave.

Oh, I don't think that's a problem at all.

Rita waved her hand like it was nothing.

No, I think it's a big deal.

'Cutlass has given up on being a knight, but he does long for it, doesn't he?

Yeah. You said so.

Fynn is supposed to support that cutlass, right?

I heard that from little Cutlass, too.

'So, Cutlass aims to serve someone as fine as a knight.

Oh, I see.

Huh?

Why are you holding your mouth and laughing, Rita?

'You know, Nagi. You don't have to worry about that.

Really?

Cutlass, you call Nagi 'Arujido', right?

Tentative, but...

We have a book 'deal'. That's what I mean.

So that's it.

...... So, you mean that Cutlass thinks I'm a knight in shining armor.

I'm not a knight in shining armor, am I?

'I think it would be good to hear what we slaves have to say about that. Hey, Reggie.

Oh!

With a pop, the magic sword on his back trembles and a human-shaped Leggy appears.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you understand, Lord? To think less of yourself is to think less of the people you serve. I think the Lord should have a better attitude.

Leggy, you're right.

I need you to pat me on the head.

Leggy, you're right.

As I was told, I patted Rita and Reggie on the head. Fluffy.

Rita smiles ticklishly as I run my fingers through her golden hair and beast ears.

Reggie goes to the trouble of sitting back on my lap and undoing his red twin-tails. Her long hair drapes down to her waist and she shakes her shoulders, saying, ”Hurry up, hurry up. Child.

Oh, that feels so good! Feels so good!

Yeah. That feels good. Leggy.

'This is a feeling worthy of letting the Lord in on a great secret!

What's the big secret?

I looked at Rita. She's wide-eyed. She doesn't understand.

Reggie sees our reactions and chuckles.

You know what, Lord? We're going home now, aren't we?

Yes.

We've been away for a while. Maids, little maidens, and elves will all want to stay at home, won't they?

I know.

By the way. We only have six rooms in our house!

”[────]

That was it.

Reggie is sleeping in the magic sword state, so let's assume he can share a room with me.

Cecil, Rita, Aine, Iris, Rafilia - and Cutlass.

The room is a little short for one person.

What will we do now? I wonder which slave girl the Lord will live in the room with!　I'm looking forward to it. Phew!

Reggie is rocking his body in a fun way.

Rita is ...... Oh, I knew I was turning red, didn't I?

I'm sure you'll find that Iris and Rafilia are basically stationed at the lord's house, but I still want to make sure they have a decent place to stay as well. If that happens, there won't be enough room for them. As a master, I can't take away everyone's room, so ...... I'm pretty sure there was an attic room. If I make that place my room, I can ...... make it my room.

Master .......

Suddenly, Rita touches my hand.

She slowly teases my fingers with her slender fingers, as if she's groping them.

'Oh, you know what? I'm going to sleep in the living room, Nagi, you can have my room.

That would be too unworthy of a master.

But you know what? You can't be sure he won't forget something. I don't know if he will, but he might!　Then I might go get it!　When I go to get it I will go to ...... me.

A room that smells like Rita's. ......

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!

With a bang, Rita turned bright red and held her head in her hands.

As it was, she began to roll around in the carriage as usual. Even though it's small. Dexterously avoiding Cecil and Cutlass. What is this waste of the beastman's athletic ability?

''Let's think about that after we get home.

...... Fluffy.

At the same time as Rita stops her spinning motion, a message arrives in my head.

It's the effect of the mind linkage reformation.

It seems that Iris has entered the communication range.

Main Content: Are you okay? Onii-chan!　Is it safe?　You and your brother have something to do with... Iris is the... She is the ghost of a knight.

I'm sorry to worry about Iris and the others.

I have a log of the many times I've tried to send the 'consciousness sharing and revision' message. Or rather, they were delayed in reaching me. Iris, they must have thought it wouldn't reach you, and tried many things. Some of them come with pictures. This is from a strategy meeting at our house at night. And here's one of Rafilia striking a cool pose. Here's ...... Iris looking in the mirror and having Raphilia pick out her underwear for .......

Yup. I'll have to keep a log of it.
