Volume 3 Chapter 48 (2/2)
Rather than you guys' advice, the Skill usage is… I sed those words, and looked around
Everyone had earnest expressions
The Fourth explained
『No matter how you look at it, with just the Skills, your current state would be able to transcend the ranks of first rate adventurers With them, you were able to conquer the fortieth floor of a labyrinth with only six』
Noret by, but ere able to do it with six
”You're saying that's bad?”
The Seventh went ahead and spoke
『There's no proble Skills It's not bad to use what talent you have on hand Up to a point, that is』
The Second told me
『You haven't grown in the slightest on our own Not that sort of Growth, but growth in the truest sense Whenever so happens, you turn to rely on the Skills If you continue on like that, your Mana will run out, or perhaps a Groill happen again, and you'll be forced to retire from the front lines When that happens, ill you do?』
I could iine it quite simply
The moment I beca
In the worst case, ould be annihilated while waiting for me to recover
A party that relied on h my absence
The Third talked on
『It's completely fine to use Skills But with this many, there will definitely be a problem at some point When you accept a request beyond your own ability, your troubles willlike that happens, you and Novem-chan and Aria-chan have to polish yourselves I think this is the time for that』
The ancestors that had been teasingfor my sake
(So this is what Da about)
I nodded, and swore to clear the thirtieth level without Skills
Until then, I would be limited to what I had on myself
And the Third…
『Now then, that's out of the way, so the next pressingthe sleeping beauty! Any objections?』
The Second spoke up
『Objection! You're forgetting her ignoring his words of love!』
The Fourth
『It's hard to say which of the two is better, but I' beauty』
The Fifth was…
『That one had quite a bit of i to be difficult』
Sixth…
『Sliding posed with a bug in hand It would be troublesoot that!』
daramps…
『As expected of the Walt House's child prodigy… for him to trouble us to this extent!』
All of them…
『『『I'll be waiting for your next growth, Walt House wonder child!!』』』
They said that with smiles
”Stop finding entertainment in this!!”
I definitely don't think I' there

… Late at night
Having been released from the depths of the Jewel, I exited to the yard, sat in a bench, and looked up at the night sky
When I got some water in the kitchen, the face that was reflected in the ard
”So they've pressed me this far… God dammit”
The past I wanted to forget had become important research data for the academy
I thought I had fallen for ain Just what sort of wind could have driven me to think in such a way?
Thinking about it didn't produce an answer
”It would be nice if I could go back to the past”
As I let that out ofthe bench
”What's wrong, Lyle-sa?”
A worried Novem was in her pajamas
I thought she was cute, but at the same time, I was forced to remember my kiss with that toxic maid
I wanted my first kiss to be Novem
”I want to disappear already…”
”Ah~ is it about today? There was no helping it Everyone feels that uplifting sensation It's just that it came out quite remarkably for you, Lyle-sama”
Even if she tries consoling e the facts that my lips were stolen
”It will never come back…”
”Eh?”
”My first kiss will never come back to me! I want to beat the crap out of the me of that time!”
As I said that, Novem's face became troubled
Why ot myself even more unnecessarily depressed
”Can we not count it? I mean, I heard it was to a doll”
”That one's ridiculously hu myself to think of it that way, and that toxicity is definitely going to break h tensions, I would have definitely had my heart fold in onto itself”
Even re it now, it was a fearsome ancient automaton
Why would the people of old create such a malicious maid?
(Did those ancients have a pervert surpassing Damien's level? … I don't really want to think about it)
”Also I… won't be able to use Skills for a while It's kinda like everything is happening to me at once, and I don't think my heart can take it”
As I said that, Noveripped my hand
Looking up at the sky, she spoke
”Can I ask why you can't use Skills?”
”Eh, ah well… at this rate, I'll becoood, and I want to become able to defeat the thirtieth floor's boss with my own ability at least once”
It's not like the ancestors ever actually told ood
A worried Novem could take my foolish notions to be an illness, fasten me to a bed, and nurse me… wouldn't that be fine?
No, that's no good I have to become the breadearner, and let Novem live a quiet life… it would be nice if I could do that
Seeing me become faint hearted, Novem spoke
”A little…”
”Hmm…”
”Just a little I've beco that Lyle-sama's first kiss was taken by an autoe of me?”
Hearing that, I stood up, and grasped both of her shoulders
”I-it's not strange at all! I'hted, Novem!”
”I-is that so?”
Seeing h spirits, Novem looked puzzled
The fact that she became jealous for me must mean that she was a little interested in me, or so I reassured myself
It's fine… Noveht?
”I… want to kiss Novem”
As I said that, her face was flushed red
She quietly closed her eyes, lifted her chin a little, and assuly easy to kiss
My heart let out a thu sound in my chest
Under the beautiful ht sky, me and Novem…

『I'hted, Novem!』
『My heart will break~』
『My first kiss will never come back to me!!』
『… Pff…』
『I wish I could return to the past was the defining factor』
『So he's even at that level when he's in his nor a turn for the worse, Lyle』
”Quite screwing with uys!!”
And on another day, the words from that time were reliable used as fuel to teasebeaten black and blue
What should I do… I think it's about time to toss this Jeay
