Volume 11 Chapter 178 (1/2)

Skill

We were on the way to Beim

Today, I had come inside of the Jewel

Alongside Milleia-san, into my own… no, the room I that should really be called the Jewel's room of memories

Rounding the door, as expected, I found the city of long, long ago Calood, hard look around, and I noticed there was a very slight nu around

The earth golems did the work, and at times, people would support

But a largetheir change

In the very center of that large city, a humble estate that could be balled a mismatch Surrounded by lines of splendid structures, it was as if that plot of land alone was a scene of the countryside

Around it, there was a yard, and even a field

As alked, I could hear the voices of the people

”For Goddess' sake, that et rid of that hut already, and have someone build a castle over it”

”It really does drop the dignity of the city I heard the old folks went to co she wouldn't yield on Even when building a castle would let us hold our heads high to other countries, you know”

”With her o clap clap, and have one done any e already”

Those youngso early in theTheir table was lined with cards, and silver coins were scattered around

The clothes they wore… ell tailored Their skin was also well looked after, and it see so dress-like outfits, and leading around a gole

They loaded the golest themselves

”Hey, isn't this dress nice?”

”It sure is That one's made of precious materials, isn't it? They should just make more, I say”

”Don't have the land to grow it That's what papa says”

”Then we need only take it Froolems crush them Do that, and we'll have tons of ht there!”

If you looked at the scene alone, it was a charh at a country that was invaded and destroyed for a reason like that

But after thinking a bit…

”No, I'm not much different”

As Iahead turned around

『Oh, so on your mind?』

Her expression so this scene, of what I thought, and when I felt It felt as if it was going directly to her

”There's no way I'd think nothing after seeing this scenery I thought the Magician's Village was a smaller-scale cautionary tale-like story”

The fact that a single e was a fact I found quite scary

Are none of the surrounding people thinking about that problem?

”… Why is it that these people aren't thinking of ould coician Septem-san died?”

Milleia-san started walking And she looked a little upwards

『Perhaps they thought so about it? Well, this is a case where you could call out both parties Septem-sama lent out her powers to help the town's residents without limit The inhabitants accepted it without coat all』

The more I heard, the less I saw any salvation for the tale

From my point of view, I felt they should have a bit more of a sense of crisis But perhaps the people who lived in the time wouldn't have understood that?

We walked through the scenes of olems cleared the way, and welcomed us to pass

There were various gole in the estate Maintaining the lawn, cleaning, and policing

Thissouls

When we approached Septem-san's room, the door was open

『Ohmemory』

Saying that, Milleia-san entered the room Before a bedridden Septem-san, three visitors had come They were all old men A considerably plump old man spoke…

『We've too little olems over』

Hearing that, Septem-san spoke

『… I'm sorry But any more is impossible My power isn't what it used to be』

A tall, thin man went on

『You're not eventhe city's facilities properly these days It's quite troubling Please get a hold on yourself』

The third one, a relatively solidly built old man

『More i a successor? It's right tiician, or ill be troubled』

The old men mouthed off their complaints to Septem-san, who couldn't move from the bed And once they were done with that, they moved to leave the room

『You're in the way, move!』

One of theet out of the doorway As I stoo surprised, perhaps it irritated him, as he pushed me out of the way

”How… this is a room of memories, so shouldn't they all be mere visions?”

The one to answer my question was Septem-san

She raised the upper half of her body, and looked my ith a smile

『That's, you see, on top of writing down its records, the Jewel is calculating everything If these were the people that had been recorded, then surely this is how they would react Their actions, should be like this… and like that, it continues calculating it all Long, long ago… the ancients had ard』

”In calculation?”

While I wasn't able to fully understand it, Milleia-san prepared two chairs After sitting in one, she pointed for me to seat myself in the other

And after I sat, I listened to what Septem-san had to say

『Last time, I explained I was the one who made the Jewel, did i? And about Novem and the others… then what should I tell you today?』

Milleia-san, in regards to Septem-san's worry

『Well then, Septeinal use?』

『Ah, that one's important』

Nodding, Septeeems shi+mmered, and she held them up to me

『Lyle, what do you think Skills originally were?』

Hearing that, I…

”… A weapon held by huainst evil, the seventh Goddess granted theic and Skills, or so I heard”

Hearing that, she nodded, but made a troubled smile

『Right There was that as well Well then, why do you think it's only one Skill per person?』

”… Because le Skill could take a lifetime?”

Septep-san shook her head

『That's wrong It's because for a single person, one type is the lie the body makeup of the one who uses it To make it easier for you to understand, it ic Tool』

Hearing that, I tilted my head

”To such an extent?”

『There are inal nuood example If it couard as well But there are vague differences in effect, right?』

Well when you mention it, it's true the distinction between the three classes of Skills can becoue

『Let's say there were three people Even if they all awoke to the sa that humans have individual differences Those differences can't help but show the it so the Skill isn't used to its uth there are times they can contrarily pull out more power from it』

Body attributes People with large muscle mass, and little would have different effects

Someone with abundant stae periods The quality and quantity of thea Skill all depended on personal traits

『Shall we make it even simpler? There are individual differences in ic… there are the five eleood at fire attribute ic, and bad in water There can be someone with loads of h-quality yet scarceforce, there's no way it wouldn't be effected by it』

I could nod at that explanation, but at the same time, a question formed In that case, if I or another used other Skills, wouldn't a problem come out?

”Um, then why is it that I can use the Skills of the heads of history? Based on what you're saying, I don't have a body adapted to their Skills, so I shouldn't be able to handle them”

Septe about her palm

『What ems I developed With all those traits to consider, I couldn't help but split them into three These are devices that support Skill use Each one has Skills it's best suited to support And frouard, and Support cos, so your ancestors allinfluence they have on their user's body, they can't help but have a bad affinity with Magic Tools』
