209 Episode 209 "I tried to" adjust "the slave girl safely and comfortably with the new" high-speed reconstruction "skill.".txt (1/2)
The perspective of my client, Lila Tinotas.
The pilgrimage to the Valley of Sumiro is the coming-of-age ceremony for one's clan.
By crossing the mountain and gathering in the valley, one is recognized as an adult.
Most of our clan is made up of elves and half-elves. The elders told me that going to the Valley of the Sumiro is like a clan instinct.
The back roads of the mountain are gentle but riddled with evil spirits. It is more difficult to walk on these back roads than the city streets.
However, my family has lived in the hidden villages in the mountains. They are used to walking in the mountains. I'm confident that I can handle this level of gentle mountain crossing lightly.
In fact, the adventurers of the guards - I will have a hard time walking slowly to match their pace.
The only people who can keep up with your feet are the elves and dark elves who live in the mountains and forests.
Will the human adventurers be able to keep up with ......?
There was a time when I thought that too. I'm sorry: .......
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!
And now, myself - Lyra and her escort adventurers - are on the mountain path.
''I see. So this is the back road passed down in Lyra's clan?
...... Oh, it's a lot easier to walk than I thought it would be.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And you can't see it from this far away from the fort, can you?
”...... haha. I'm sure you're right: ...... I'm not going to be able to get this much of a road to ...... for the mysterious Thief Melody. It doesn't matter ......, so ......
Ho ho ho ho! The initiative!
Surprise! Inexplicable! How can you guys keep on your feet! Why am I dressed like I'm being driven away...?
While walking along the mountain path, Lila-Tinotas exclaims to herself....
Nagi's point of view...
An hour after we left ”The Northern Town of Hermilt”.
We were walking along the mountain road with Laila, a half-elf, in the lead.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!
Yeah, it's going better than I expected.
We're moving ahead in two lines, with Lila in the lead.
Me and Iris. Me and Iris, Cutlass and Cecil. It's Aine and Rafilia's turn.
Laila-san led us to a path some distance away from the usual mountain paths. It seems that her family has information about the hidden back roads.
The path is a bit narrow, but the ground is surprisingly firm. The climbs are not so hard.
So we made use of our ”mountain hiking” skills and started walking normally, but...
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!
Jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez!
Humiliation! I'm used to mountain roads and I can't lose...!
Laila, who was leading the pack, was slowly beginning to breathe on her shoulders.
'Maybe you should slow down a bit more. Lila.
I said.
Lila didn't stop, but turned around and pointed at Iris.
I'm fine,” she said. You should be more concerned about your daughter. ......
”....... Ah. Huh. ......
Look at him. You're gasping for air. I think you're pushing yourself.
............ no. Huh. ...... Oh. No problem. Iris ...... No, no, the mystery sifu melody, you're sure of your footsteps ......
Tsk tsk tsk.
Iris proceeds with a light step.
Her luggage is in Aine's 'big sister's treasure chest', so she's mostly empty-handed.
The shoes are sturdy ones for mountain hiking that I bought in the ”northern town of Hermilt”.
It's as if this is just a flat area of land as well, and Iris is crispy on her feet.
'...... did you really not know about this road ......?'
Lila, the half-elf, rolls her eyes.
'How can it go so smoothly? Are you guys that used to the mountains?
「「「「「 Sigh. 」」」」」
Me, Cecil, Aine, Raphilia, and Cutlass all spoke in unison.
In the meantime, we don't stop walking.
Lila-san knows the directions and how to walk in the village lore. That's why I'm walking at the front ...... always with me and Iris looming behind it.
Iris's gait is not at all confused. My little feet are firmly planted on the ground, and I'm choosing a stable part of my path. His lower half of his body is solid, but his upper half is wobbling, a mysterious gait.
His face is bright red and his clasped palms are drenched in sweat.
Occasionally, Iris would let out a ”......” and clench my hand.
Every time I check the skill inside Iris, I check the ”brilliant stroll”.
The skill is in full effect.
It's a 4-concept cheat 'mountain hiking' skill, so the mountain path is easy to follow.
The concept of ”Brilliant Stroll” made with ”Fast Reconstruction: Quick Structure: Revised” takes a long time to stabilize, but the gap between the concepts is small. All you have to do is fix the misaligned concepts with your fingertips while walking and you're back to normal.
That's why, while holding hands with Iris, I'm trying to fix it little by little, but...
...... How are you feeling, Iris?
I whispered in Iris's ear.
”............ haha ...... It's not a problem at all. ......Yes ......
His little fingers are still squeezing my hand.
”Compared to when you always 'rebuild' me, ...... it's a lot more ...... heirloom. Just the feeling of being one with ...... your brother has been ...... for a long time ...... and continues ...... It's like going up the hill and then down ...... and then up again ...... and it's like .......
It's not that hard, is it?
”...... No, it's more like ...... fluffy and ...... the boundary between you and your brother is disappearing... ...Happiness: ......
Iris smiled at me as if to reassure me.
I'm glad to hear that.
The ”Brilliant Stroll” is also useful, and Iris seems to be doing well.
Wow, I don't know. I know how to walk in the mountains. I'm used to hiking in the mountains myself, so ...... how can you guys just stick together!
Laila, who is walking in the lead, is still amazed, though.
...... Oh, the power of love. ......
Squeak, squeak.
Iris gives a small shake of her back and squeezes my hand again.
Arrows and numbers appear in my and Iris' vision.
This is the effect of the 4 Concept Cheat Skill 'Brilliant Stroll'.
This skill is similar to Rita's ”Flamboyant Escape”, in which a navigation system appears in your field of vision. The arrows that indicate an easy course to walk, a stride with less fatigue, and even a stable foothold. Iris and I are just walking according to those instructions.
So I'm not tired at all. I've hardly ever walked in the mountains.
'Are Cecil and the others okay?'
I called out to the back of the room.
It's not a problem. I've been living in the forest for a while now, so I'm comfortable.
The cheery voices of Cecil, Aine, Raphilia, and Cutlass come back to me.
I send Navi to Cutlass, and they all walk accordingly.
If I send the navigation displayed in the ”Brilliant Stroll” through the ”True Consciousness Sharing 《Mind Linkage True》”, everyone can use it. If you can't see the navigation system, you can just follow me and Iris. We are on the 'minimum fatigue' course, so if we continue on the same course, everyone will be less tired.
...... Mmmm. It's a gravel road ahead. It's not quite the same as the records of those who came on the pilgrimage a few years ago.
Suddenly, Lila slowed down.
'Oops. It's very slippery. It's so slippery, I'll have to warn you all to be careful...
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! Whisper!
”...... Mmm. Hmm. It's a puddle. The ground is muddy, so I'll pick a dry spot and...
Shuffling. Chubby. Hells, please...
Ki, tree roots or something here and there: ......
Sss. Scissors. Creeping...
...... scary. There are pros. A professional mountain hiker beyond my clan is here ......
”............ Onii-chan's. For a party, it would be ...... obvious ....... ......
Squeak, squeak.
Iris also held my hand in her sweaty palm.
I looked at the 'High Speed Rebuild and Reform' window.
'Brilliant Stroll (Karei Sanseki) LV1'
The skill to walk ”mountain paths” quickly and reliably in ”good listening”.
...... 'Concept' is a bit off.
”...so please go to ...... and ...... again, dearest.
Should we stop?
'That would mean that ...... you'll be able to see ...... you'll be able to see ...... Melody and her brother. ...... because they'll find out that you're doing a secret ...... thing.
Iris looked embarrassed and held her mouth.
'The body will walk on its own in 'Oto Pailot' ...... so it will stay ...... in this, this, this melody.'
Well, it's just a little off.
I lightly pressed my finger on the concept of a 'brilliant walk'.
'............ haha.'
Iris's shoulders trembled.
Maybe a little harder.
Gulp.
...... hmmm. Huh. ......
The 'concept' returns to normal and Iris holds her chest and sighs.
'............ It will take some time, but unlike what you always do ...... It must be a strange feeling.
Really?
We went on and on.
As we walked, we exchanged a few words.
...... Yes. Normally, ...... the magic of Iris and Onii-chan mixes ...... well with the magic of Iris and Onii-chan, but this time... ...... ...I feel like we're quietly melting together .......
...... Just like in 'Engage'?
I'm going to go to work on it. I'm going to shake hands with you.
”...... is, yes. I'm still ...... feeling ...... like I'm losing the boundary between you and your brother... ...
Geez. Geez.
Every time the ”concept” of the skill trembles, Iris puts strength into her hands.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
She just occasionally shakes her shoulders and cupped her fingers.
The ”Fast Rebuild Quick Structure” - Kai allows you to adjust your skills while moving. But the adjustment time is several times longer than normal, and during that time, all the slaves just 'feel connected to me all the time'.
It's convenient.
