144 CHAPTER IX -- MY SKILL IS… (2/2)

Belle. Leo asked me to keep an eye on you today to make sure you're not overwhelmed.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

I'll see you later.

Uncle waved his hand, then put his hand on the window and used secrecy to disappear.

He's probably going to walk back across the roof anyway.

As usual: ......

”Welcome home again, Master Leo. I'm so glad to hear that your plan is working. Thank you for your help.

As I was looking away from my uncle with a bitter smile, Belle bowed to me, saying something like that .

'Thank you . I'm sorry I left Belle alone too.

Did you miss me?

No, I won't miss you for two days.

Yeah?

Yes. Anyway, tell me a story from the dungeon.

Yeah, that's fine. I'd love to tell you, but I don't have that many.

It was a dungeon that would have been over in three days .

''Still, if you could just tell me what kind of demons were there, please tell me.

All right. The mountain dungeon went exactly as we said it would. The angel in question was a bit of a pain in the ass for Hermann and the others, but we took them down without anyone getting hurt. The fog dungeon in question was a poisonous monster called a hydra.

'What?　Was it okay for you to spit out the poison?

Yeah. I've got this.

As I said this, I showed Belle the devil's ring.

”The ring?

Yeah. It has the ability to override the status quo. So I was able to beat it with surprisingly little effort.

That's good to hear. So, what did you get for your skills?

I guess I'm just curious about your skills.

Regeneration and the magic eye. Regeneration is the ability to regenerate after an injury. Here.

As I said this, I created a knife and thrust it into my hand.

Whoa!　It hurts more than I thought it would!

But no, if I look like I'm in pain here, Belle will be worried about me.

'Yikes!　You're bleeding!

Yeah, I'm fine. Look. Look.

I saw Belle scream and I hurriedly wiped off the blood to show her that her hand was free of wounds.

Then Belle grabbed my hand with both of her hands and began to stare at the place where I stabbed the knife in it.

'It's true: ....... The wound is gone. ......

Apparently, he was okay.

The pain went away pretty quick. Yeah, next time I won't stick a knife in my hand on purpose.

This is the power of regeneration. Well, I don't know what extent the wound can be healed, but I don't think I'd want to find out. It'd hurt if I cut my arm or something.

Just sticking a knife in my arm is enough to cause this pain, but I'm too scared to do it if I lose my arm .

Just as I was thinking that, Belle hugged my arm as hard as she could.

'Don't check me!　What if you cut off your arm and it doesn't grow back!

Belle puffed out her cheeks as she hugged my arm.

What's this, it's so cute .

I guess ...... I'll have Belle take my arm for me then.

'What?　No, I mean, no jokes. I don't want to see Leo-sama hurt!

I teased her because she was cute, and Belle was embarrassed for a moment before she huffed and started to get angry.

'I'm sorry,'

She's still cute.

''Already ....... So what's the other one's ability with the magic eye?

I don't know. I'm gonna ask Anna now.

Anna, what is the magic eye?

(The magic eye means that if you focus your magic power on your eyes, you can use it for special powers. You won't know what it can do until you use it.

Heh~. So there are different kinds of evil eye.

Copy that.

What kind of ability did you have?

They say if you put magic in your eyes, you can do something.

So why don't you get on with it?

''Yeah. Anyway, I don't know what kind of ability you have, so I'll try to put a little bit of magic into it.

As he says this, he concentrates his magic power in his eyes a little at a time: ......

And then a certain change started to occur in my vision.

Huh?　Bell's clothes are gradually showing through: ......

Master Leo, has there been any change?

'What?　Uh-huh. Hold on.

This is not good. This is not good.

But just for a moment: ......

I can't help but notice the curious look in Master Leo's eyes.

Belle hid her breasts with her arms, making a disgusted face.

Could she have found out?

Oh, really?

I hurriedly took my eyes off the bell.

Oh, I can see through the wall. Oh, I can see Frank.

He's having a good time with the maid. They're probably reminiscing about their dungeon days.

So, what was your gift, then?　I can kind of imagine what it's like, but I'll just ask.

That's it. Maybe that's it.

But saying it from your own mouth is an admission of guilt. .......

The more magic you put into it, the farther away it seems to be able to see. I can see beyond the wall, and I've just put some magic power in there, and I can even see the castle from here.

I'm just bitterly trying to tell you what I just found out.

This magic eye is amazing. The more magic I put into it, the farther I can see.

Now I can easily see my uncle and the emperor having a conversation with each other with a difficult face.

So what kind of ability is that?

d*mn it, ......, I thought I could muddle through.

I hope you didn't miss it.

Uh, yeah, uh, ......, I mean ...... remote perspective.

Yes. I knew it was clairvoyant.

That's why I called for remote clairvoyance.

But you can look inside your clothes, can't you?

Soooo, with that being said: ......

'Yes, yes ......'

You'll have to admit it.

We don't normally use them!

Okay, I understand.

If I'm caught using it, I'll go to Miss Sherry and Miss Leena and tell them.

No, please don't do that!

I reflexively got down on my knees.

When I remembered that the rat monitor had caught me looking into the bathroom, my body moved on its own.

'And I always thought that if you're going to look at it, you should do so with an open mind.

'What?　That's ......

I looked up, and Belle turned her back to me with a pout.

''Now, I'll get dinner ready, so Leo-sama can relax and make yourself comfortable until then.

You're not kidding ......, are you?

After that, I sat upright and looked at Belle's back and thought about the meaning of the words.
