「By the way, Haruto-san,」 (Lora)

「Huh, what is it?」 (Haruto)

After theirto say

「That soap thing is a Were you the one who made it, Haruto?」 (Lora)

「Yup, it is not difficult to redients are cheap & few」 (Haruto)

Upon hearing Haruto’s reply, Lora had an astonished expression

「Seriously! I was alh priced item It is easy and comfortable to use, unlike bubble-berry, this would sell well」 (Lora)

Lora has a hter of a coe, Lora was raised to succeed her fa is in support of the soap business idea

「As expected, I had a feeling you would think so I also thought ofthe soap」 (Haruto)

「Really! I have studied the basic’s of business ht be able to help!」 (Lora)

Lora happily says this She is glad to have discovered a job she could do

「Of course, I will be putting you to work」 (Haruto)

「Let’s hurry,「before that」」 (Lora)

Haruto interrupts Lora

「We have to go buy you some clothes It will be troublesome if you always have to wear mine」 (Haruto)

Haruto was s as he said this

「Thank you very ht even if I didn’t have such nice clothes as these I’m a slave It is okay if the clothes werenude……」 (Lora)

As Lora said this, a half second later she blushed Haruto has gradually gotten used to Lora’s jokes and dismissed her nonsense

「Purchasing worn-out clothes would be a waste Besides, you and I will be doing it for a long time Don’t worry about it Anyhow, 10,000 Doraria is not much compared to 25 million Doraria」 (Haruto)

Upon Haruto’s reply, Lora’s face turned bright red

「W-was that a e proposal?! Please, let me think about it」 (Lora)

「You are mistaken」 (Haruto)

Haruto gave an immediate reply

「By the way, Haruto-san Why not try visiting the library?」 (Lora)

「Ah, you ?」 (Haruto)

As the saying goes, it is best to strike while the iron is hot It would be better to hurry up and get the investigation over with

「You’re right Shall we get going?」 (Haruto)

Lora showed a blank expression as Haruto said this

「The thing is, 2nd-class and 3rd-class citizens are not allowed into the library because they have no tax liability Therefore, is it alright for me to wait at the inn until you return?」 (Lora)

Without any liabilities, a person does not have any privileges It indeed makes sense Haruto understood it, but suddenly a question arose

「Is it alright for foreigner(s) to enter?」 (Haruto)

When Haruto was still a foreigner, he had gone to the library along with Maria However, foreigners are basically not obligated to pay taxes

「The library in Clarice is a landners that visit this country come to see the library」 (Lora)

Haruto recalls hearing that Clarice has the biggest library in all of the City-State Union And thus, the country makes money off of the people who come to study there

「Oh, now I get it Sorry, I got off topic So you’re planning on returning to the inn, huh? On your way back, can you get me olive oil, salt, and collect some ash? The amount of olive oil to ash should be equal to a 3 to 1 ratio; and as for salt, 1 bag will be enough」 (Haruto)

Haruto hands Lora 30,000 Doraria

「Alright, understood Perhaps, are these the ingredients for soap?」 (Lora)

What Lora heard piqued her curiosity Certainly, it is surprising to know that so made from ash, oil, and salt can have the same effect as bubble-berry

「Well, there isn’t time today so I will make tomorrow」 (Haruto)

「I see Then, as a slave, I will go carry out my first task」 (Lora)

Lora runs off in the blink-of-an-eye She was as fast as ever

「Now then, shall I go and get this over with」 (Haruto)

As Haruto muttered this, he made his way to the library

Like last time, Haruto checked in at the reception desk but this tiistration card

He s Haruto scans the bookshelf Of the many volumes of books, he chose a few that appeared to be helpful

・What Is A Blessing? A Cos』!!

・Introduction to Blessings That Even A Monkey Can Understand

・A Modern-day Reference of Known Blessings (picture book)

He chose those three books In this world, like how the law of s are a part of this world The books in this world have similar titles to the books in Haruto’s ho these titles, it felt nostalgic to him

First off, Haruto picks up 『Introduction to Blessings That Even A Monkey Can Understand』 and 『What Is A Blessing (etc)』 Unlike the title, the books are fairly thick

A short while later, Haruto closed the books Although it claims that even a monkey could understand it, the book was bulky and filled with technical ter and just read the parts that seemed important

To summarize the contents of the books

・The proper na』, or 『Fairy’s Affection』

・Blessing are innate, or otherwise, it is unknown at to how one is acquired

・1/10,000 people have a blessing

・Although, most are unless They require a lot of effort and are si able to bend a spoon

・There is no clear distinction between blessings Si power

・The activation method varies from person to person and the number of times it can be used also varies from person to person

・Incidently, why is it fairies are involved? That is because, in the City-State・Kingdo two and two together, the mysterious power and thethey could think of to explain the phenomenon

・To sum it up, nobody knows

Haruto wanted to voice his co book is so even a monkey could understand The book was not the least bit useful, thus, Haruto stopped reading it and opened the picture book He finds the section under ～hearing~ and beings to read

A; the ability to hear sounds fro able to notice an off-key note, able to hear a sound 1 kilo that was heard and other various types EPS like abilities Haruto skims the text Unfortunately, there is no infor” He calms down and rethinks his ability

(If I recall, the words are being automatically translated inis being deciphered in hts…… if I think about it, is that not a brain ( ability?)

Haruto searches for his ability but discovered nothing While looking under the “senses category”, he coht” Haruto decides to investigate the entry under “thought”

・Langauge blessing…… able to freely converse in others languages Reported number of cases, 30 people

・Power of Words blessing…… able to comprehend the truth behind words While they can understand the intent behind words, if the person doesn’t understand the language, inconsistencies can arise Those with developed abilities can recognize thebehind written characters Reported cases, 5 people

・Mind-heart blessing…… able to understand another person’s thoughts The ability allows a person’s intentions to be deciphered Those with developed abilities are able to understand another person’s deepest thoughts Reported cases, 3 people

Haruto’s power resembles these 3 abilities If he has only one ability, it would ” But, it is also possible that he as the “”

Now that he has an idea of what his blessing could be, Haruto decided to return

By the times he exited the library, it was dark out He poalks back to the inn

Upon his return to the inn, Haruto heard the voices of Lora and Maria

「How is this done?」 (Maria)

「Let me have a look…… ah, you are supposed to subtract this part Once the equation is set up the rest is easy」 (Lora)

「You’re right!! Lora-oneechan you are a!!」 (Maria)

「Not at all, this is a simple arithmetic equation」 (Lora)

The two see

「Hey! Lora, I’m back」 (Haruto)

When Haruto called out to the thile irls rushed over to him

「Haruto-san, welcome back Would you like dinner? Would you like a bath prepared? Or is it, would you like…… me, ouch!!」 (Lora)

Haruto playfully hits Lora on the top of her head, causing her to hang her head in disappointment
