178 Episode 178 "After making Iris sane, I slowly and slowly strengthened it.".txt (1/2)

...... big brother. Iris is ...... Iris is .......

Iris, on horseback, is looking down at me.

She's not the same as usual. Her eyes, which are wide open, are twinkling. Her nose is raspy and her breathing is rapid.

Best of all, the usual Iris wouldn't sneak into my room.

”Iris, how did you get in here?

I asked Mr. White to help me.

When I look to the side, I see Ritogon on a chair by the bed.

I see. Did Iris use White's skill 'lebiteishon' to get in through the window?

Come to think of it, I didn't lock the window.

Iris, can I ask you a question?

Yes. I have nothing to hide from my brother, okay?

Iris nodded her head with a fluffy expression on her face.

'Iris loves her brother. In order for you to understand that, Iris has crept into your room wearing a dress that is a memento of your mother. All her fears are gone. Iris is not afraid of anything and will be one with her brother. ......

Hey, Iris. How many times have you used the sword for peace of mind, Kokoro Yasumaru?

Four times ...... No, maybe five times ......

I knew it.

When I 'rebuilt' that item, I had a gut feeling that overuse was a bad idea. That's why, when I left it with Iris, I told her to 'follow the dosage', but I guess I didn't explain it well enough.

I should have explained in more detail the directions for use: .......

'You know what, Iris?'

What is it? My dear brother.

I think Iris is in a manic state, or maybe she's high.

Is that the case?

Or, to put it simply, it's like being drunk.

You haven't been drinking, Iris, have you?

Iris is staring at me with a curious look on her face.

'It's my brother who says the craziest things.

In short. In other words, with Kokoro Yasumaru, all of your fears have been blown away. That's why your mind is no longer in control.

What's the problem with that?

You have. When Iris comes to her senses.

Iris, I'm serious.

If you come at me with your reason blown out of proportion ...... and I respond to it, I feel like I'll be rolling around with my head in my hands later on. It's a good thing that's all there is to it, but if it's traumatic for you, you're in trouble.

”Let's do this kind of thing when you're in your right mind,

Hmmm ...... but Iris won't stop now.

Iris said and put her hand on the chest of her dress.

'Now, here and now, Iris feels the need to connect deeply and profoundly with her brother. I don't mind if you have to push yourself a little too hard. There will be absolutely no hesitation or regret!

Even after you come to your senses?

Of course you do!

I'll bring you back to your senses, okay?

Don't worry about it, brother!

Iris nods confidently, and I pull her body closer to mine.

I press her tiny head against my own chest and activate the skill.

'Activate!　'Saving Heart Embrace 《Heart Healing Hug》, LV 1!

Huh!

Iris's body shook with a jolt.

As if an electric current ran through her, Iris's eyes widened.

The 'Saving Heart Embrace 《Heart Healing Hug》' can release the subject's sleep, paralysis and confusion.

Iris's 'Relief Sword Overdose' should also work because of the confusion, but ...... what happens?

'...... Onii-chan ......?'

Iris blinked a few times, then looked at me.

Then, I looked at the pure white dress I was wearing.

The open window and ”Ritogon” sitting meekly on a chair - I turned my gaze to White.

You're going to have to look up as you remember what you've done until now.

And then...

'Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!　Ilis, how dare you, Ilis, how dare you?

He held his cheeks and exclaimed.

'This, you can't just sneak into your brother's bedroom for no reason!　And wearing a dress that belonged to your mother's mementos and ...... to the Lords' house ...... such and such a thing oooh!

”Oh, that (・・・・・)?

I'm going on a 'spirit honeymoon' with my beloved. When she returns, Iris will be the 'Daughter of the Dragon Dipped in Love' (Anim Dragoon).” ......

It's .......

”After using too much of the 'reassurance sword' ...... I made the mistake of reading Master's 'Poetry Notes' .......

Raphilia's poem notes or .......

That's a bad idea. Probably the one I'd read that would be a definite mental pollutant.

'...... brother. I'm sorry.

'No, I didn't explain it well enough either. I can't help it.

I didn't expect that using the ”Safety Sword” too much would blow up my reasoning.

I mean, ...... that sword could be used as a mental pollution weapon, right?

If you hit an enemy four times, you can make them 'mentally' invincible.

Your opponent will drop all fears and come at you, so you won't have to defend yourself or use your fine skills. You can counter-attack them, or hit them with great magic.

If you're good at it, you can make them fight each other or even revolt against the nobles.

...... Oh, no.

I'm sure I've brought a fearsome item into the world.

It's a good thing that you're able to find out what the danger of the 'safe sword' is because of Iris. You don't have to worry about this time. So, what do we do now?

What does ...... mean?

Did you bring your ”sword of safety” with you?

...... Yes.

Iris took out ”Kokoro Yasumaru,” the reassuring sword that was tucked into the obi of her dress.

I take it and show it to Iris.

I need to stabilize this cheat item. And I also have a few extra 'concepts' at hand. If you wish, you can establish a soul engagement in the process.

Are you sure you want to go to ......?

I told you. I told you, if Iris does it in her right mind, it's fine.

There are things like this 'Incident of the incoming Lord Royeld Newcomer Training'.

Now that the party is more likely to move in a dispersed manner, I want to further strengthen Iris.

Moreover, if you ...... 'Engage your soul', you can loosen up Iris's anxiety without using the 'Peace of mind sword'.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm not going to be able to get it right. Is that alright?

Okay, but ...... has one thing wrong with you, brother.

Iris said and put her hand on my cheek.

''Iris is already bound to her brother by the 'chains of love'. This comfortable restraint will be impossible to break, even for Iris herself. Please remember that much .......

Iris said and took my hand in hers.

'Good,'

......

I took Iris in my arms from behind, as I always do.

Her small body sits perfectly in my arms.

I asked Iris to keep a grip on the 'Safety Sword Shinanmaru'.

'Check the status of the cheat item.'

I call up the status of 'Anshin Katana'.

'Kokoro Yasumaru'

Every time I shake it, I worry.

Smaller” swords.

It's hardly destabilizing.

This can be 'recalibrated' along with 'rebuilding' the skills.

Iris.

Yes, brother.

This time I'm going to 'reconstruct' Iris's 'dragon species empathy'.

I haven't been able to get my hands on it until now because it involves Iris' 'Dragon's Blood'.

But now I have the concept 'Awakening' in my hands. With this, I should be able to add new effects without changing my original ability.

''I want to use this to super-enhance Iris so that she can survive no matter what. Is that alright?

Of course. Big brother.

Iris looked at me over her shoulder and struck a pose.

''Please give Iris a 'Chouzetsu Kyouka' so that she can conquer the 'Dungeon of the Demon Dragon' in one second!

Not for a second, indeed, but ...... yeah, okay.

I call up Iris' 'Dragon Seed Empathy' in the 'Ability Reconstruction' window.

'Dragon Species Empathy, Lv 4'

The skill of ”dragon” and ”consciousness” to resonate together

We'll start by unraveling the skills.

I put my finger on 'Dragon Seed Empathy'. Slowly, with no effort, I touched the concept.

'...... Fluffy.'

Iris let out a small sigh.

''Dragon related skills are in Iris' blood, so let's go with caution.

''It's ...... a great ...... big brother.''

My little shoulders trembled.

I'm sure you'll be able to relax and let your body rest fully against me.

...... Iris, today is the day to ...... the big brother is ...... all in favor of the big brother... ...so please go to .......

'I know. But it's 'super-enhanced' and I want to take my time with it.

...... hui.

Iris looked at me with glazed eyes.

'But, you know, ...... Onii-chan.'

Yes.

'If you spend too much time on ...... too much of a huddle, Iris will ...... continue to be ...... this way...' ...you might melt down?

Okay. Then I'll make sure to 'recalibrate' it and fix it.

...... I wonder what Iris was worried about: ......

Iris slowly rubbed my hands that were touching her body.

'Just by doing this with my brother, all the anxiety is ...... melting away,'

And then he closed his eyes like he was ready.

I decided to take my time and proceed with Iris's ”Construction of the 4 Concept Cheat Skills”, the adjustment of ”Safe Sword” ...... and the ”Soul Agreement”.

─ Two hours later...

”...... onii ......cha ......n

Squeezing my hand, Iris said.
