Chapter 15
Chapter 15 The past of the dark n.o.ble
Iya…… Seriously it was a big bang. But you know? Its not because of her age, in the first place I have never heard of a demon that transforms into a woman, I can’t attack Saria that suddenly became a bishōjo, it’s impossible. The sadness of the virgins…. You can call it a Hetare. (TL: j.a.panese losers)
For the time being, I gather my thoughts because Saria who became a bishōjo is suddenly embracing me, as expected her nudity is becoming a bad problem, so from the Item Box I took out a s.h.i.+rt and pa.s.s it to Saria. That is to say, currently Saria is in a——– nude T-s.h.i.+rt.
But…… I have to do something about the clothes Saria is wearing…… there is no underwear and no pants either…….
"Su ̄ …… ha~a! it’s Seiichi smell"
"Un! Nothing! It has a very good smell, its so relaxing, it fells like Seiichi is hugging me?"
…….. Oh! This is so embarra.s.sing. Saria saying that with a big smile is so cute……
…… The t.i.tle [Smell prayer] that I had, seems to have been lost. I’m a bit upset about it.
"By the way…. Saria made quite the amazing evolution."
"Iya, haven’t you become a complete human in appearance? You have changed race completely, haven’t you?"
"Eh? Did something change?"
"Wha? Iya…… The outside appearance has completely changed. The inside didn’t change in the least…."
……Huh? Has Saria-san evolved into a birdbrain? The appearance has undergone a ma.s.sive change, to not notice it……..
"Ah. Its True!"
As I was saying so.
Saria says so, and again a violent light covered Saria’s body.
"Ey.. es……-my ey e e e e e es!"
"U~u…… to sparkle so much ……"
"…………"
I, I’m speechless.
………….
When my vision returned, without realizing it Saria reverted back to that gorilla version again.
"E e e e e!? You can revert to Gorilla!?"
Amazin ~iing useless power!
That is ――――
Unlike Bishōjo version Saria, gorilla version Saria has the thick chest which is bursting out of the s.h.i.+rt. When she was a Bishōjo, there was a different meaning from bursting out……. This…… I don’t want this~! Someone…… Someone tell me if there is a demand for a gorilla nude t-s.h.i.+rt……! To me who was screaming in my head Saria told me with blus.h.i.+ng cheeks.
"Why is your sense of shame higher in gorilla form aaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!"
When in Bishōjo mode Saria wasn’t particularly ashamed of showing me her own naked body, in contrast now in gorilla mode she is desperately trying to hide her important woman parts so they can’t be seen.
Isnt it weird!?
I was hanging my head down into my hands, and suddenly, the ground was dyed in white and the violent light appeared again, when it stopped I lifted up my sight to Saria to confirm again if she returned.
There was, that bishōjo appearance of Saria with a dazzling smile looking at me
To being able to become a Bishōjo, I think that I am truly glad. This, is not my imagination I thought. It’s just, can you just stop transforming in a nude t-s.h.i.+rt? Its difficult for various reasons….. Mainly psychologically.
"Heck….. it’s fine if you can transform, but is there a meaning?"
"I, in this form it seems I became weak. Thats why, returning to the previous form I can pull out my true combat power"
Un. It seems there is a need for Gorilla Saria.…… I don’t know if there is a need for the appearance though.
"Oh…… what a huge amount of drop items."
"Zeanosu’s drop items are……"
[Skill card «disguise»]…… It is possible to learn the skill "disguise".
[Skill card «clairvoyant»]…… You can learn the skill "clairvoyance".
[Style card: Zefodo-ryu flow swordsmans.h.i.+p] …… It is possible to use Zefodo flow pattern swordsmans.h.i.+p. (TL note: Style refers to a school of swords. Think in the Sword G.o.d style from mushoku tensei or three sword style from zoro. In my opinion this already surpa.s.sed the level of cheat and is a bug. Holy s.h.i.+t swordmans.h.i.+p that cost a whole life of training in a single card)
[Secret Technique card «Mist»] …… You can learn the secret technique " Fog".
"O, oh……"
In the end, what’s a Style card? I can somehow understand the Secret Technique Card because I already knew a secret technique……. But, as expected the rare Darkness attribute magic was there, a Magic card, just like last time.
"Seiichi, what’s that card??"
The moment that I said so while twisting my neck, the card became a sphere of light, and was sucked into me.
[Skill «a.s.similation»] has been learned.
[Darkness Magic attribute series] can be used.
[Secret Technique «Flash»] has been learned.
It resounds in my head, the voice that confirms the skills have been mastered and can be used.
[a.s.similation]…… it is possible to disappear by blending into the surroundings, and you can hide your presence from enemies using Search. But, the moment of the attack you have to release it or it won’t hit.
[Darkness magic series]…… Darkness magic series. All the Darkness magic can be used.
[Flash]…… a sure-hit technique.
"What should I do?, I don’t have the confidence to use them….!"
I’m hesitant. Isn’t it weird!? Or maybe the skills are normal…..
Darkness attribute magic too, is the same as that time with the Aqua Wolf after defeating it, suddenly I had all the information about the water attribute magic flowing into my head. Then [Zefodo-ryu flow swordsmans.h.i.+p] is the same, that styles abilities flow into my head. Now I obtained knowledge about Darkness attribute magic, somehow it had a dangerous name, Oi.
But, I cant use the skills blindly, thinking carefully about things is what the battle with Zeanosu taught me, The skills I got in my hands now I think I will slowly but steady learn how to use them properly.
"Hey, what happened!? the lights entered inside Seiichi!?"
"He~e…… Amazing! Seiichi, will become more powerful right!?’"
Until this day n.o.body has told me that I am cool, being told that with a big smile by a bishoujo such as Saria, more than embarra.s.sed, I am confused.
While saying so the next thing I picked up is, [The Dark n.o.ble Zeanosu’s story] booklet
I am surprised by the word that didn’t appear before. What’s more, in little letters below the t.i.tle is "Non fiction"
I involuntary raise my voice. But, this booklet is different to the ones until now.
While I say so, Saria peeked from behind me. But, because it’s a little difficult to see I read it out loud.
[The dark n.o.ble Zeanosu existed for more that 1500 years, and was part of the world leading aristocracy as the Duke and head of the Zefodo family. Zeanosu Zefodo became a demon. Before becoming a demon he had influential power rivaling that of royalty in the Harumaru Empire, he was know as a good Lord inside and outside his country.
He had a strong patriotic felling, and his relation with his loved wife Elizabeth was well-know.]
I don’t know if she could understand it, but Saria was making an
Whats more, it truly became something like a story……
…… Somehow the story is taking a dark turn?
…… ghe Seriously!? Didn’t he get along with his wife!? I was surprised, but the hand turning the pages didn’t stop.
Oi, Elizabeth! …… well… thinking of yourself first is not wrong……. But, hearing the story from others, left a bad feeling.
"u~u……"
Br, b.r.e.a.s.t.s……. While holding onto my reasoning so it doesn’t fly again, I keep reading.
"……"
Saria and I read it eagerly.
[His beloved country betrayed him, his beloved wife betrayed him, Zeanosu was in absolute despair and was incapable of trusting anyone. Then, the country sent the army with an order to catch Zeanosu. Getting caught was only a question of time, so Mari took Zeanosu who was in a impotent state and ran away to another country]
Ne, next is!?
"……"
[Then, to such a Zeanosu, good news arrived. That was that Erushutatto III died from illness, and the IV rose to power. Erushutatto IV, told Zeanosu, that he wanted to apologize because of the hards.h.i.+ps his father caused him. The paper requested him to return to the castle. Thanks to Mari his Misanthropy was almost cured, and again he could return to the country he loved…… whats more, the emperor in person wants to apologize, Zeanosu was so happy, and hurried to the castle]
"I, I am so gla~ad……"
[But, what was waiting for Zeanosu in the castle was a cruel reality]
At that sentence Saria and I leave out a stupid sound.
"Harumaru Empire you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
I shout without realizing, Saria was letting out tears without stopping.
"Oh, Zeanosu’s so coooool……!"
[But, Zeanosu has a limit too, the moment his physical strength hit the limit he will be killed on the spot. The one who s.h.i.+elded Zeanosu was, the maid who gave Zeanosu a reason to live, Mari]
Saria and I shout without realizing.
[The Girl, used her own body to protect Zeanosu from the arrows, swords and spears that attacked him. To the stunned Zeanosu, Mari confessed she always loved Zeanosu, and took her last breath with a smile. Before Mari, Zeanosu broke. His heart broke completely, he changed, and started killing all the soldiers with his bare-hands. That was, Zeanosu didn’t consider that his physical strength has..h.i.t it’s limit.]
"gusu n……"
I understand now……that’s why Zeanosu searched for the darkness magic.
"……"
[Zeanosu converted into a Demon, and tried to revive Mari using the forbidden spell from the darkness magic, but the result was a failure. The reason was because Mari had been dead for too long, she reached a stage where not even the darkness magic’s forbidden spell could revive her.]
[After finding this out, Zeanosu, from the eyes without eyes cried. From the body without vocal cords he let out a crying voice. From then on, Zeanosu, together with the body of Mari spent his days in the depth of his proud most difficult high grade dungeon,[The Forest of the endless sorrow]
…………………….
"Is so sad…… Seiichi……"
Saria looked away from the booklet in my hand, now she put her face in my back and is quietly crying.
As a result, a tremendous amount of information entered my head.
The most interesting thing is the amount of demons he fought before becoming a demon. You could consider him a hero.
The yuusha in the information, it seems to be a ritual of yuusha summoning that takes place in a variety of countries each time the devil is restored. In other words, other than the guys of my school, there might have been some yuusha summoned that G.o.d doesn’t know about.
The Maou can only be defeated by the holy sword, or so it seems, Zeanosu was only a swordmans.h.i.+p teacher of the yuusha, it was one of the reasons why he did not go to subdue it directly.
After reading all the booklet, it became a light, and disappears into the inside of my body.
I blow away the dark atmosphere, and became cheerful. (TL note: What a positive guy…)
Then, next I picked up Zeanosu’s Stat’s that became a sphere. I, checked them one by one.
『Magic Power：60000』
『Defence Power：20000』
『Magic Attack：60000』
『Luck：100』
『Charm：50000』
"These numbers …!?"
Well I knew he was a ridiculous guy with a level above 1500……. What’s more, the luck after reading the [Dark n.o.ble Zeanosu story] I can believe it……!
The sphere of stat’s, just like that entered my body, then ignoring the voice in my head I go to the drop items.
"This is……?"
Observing it well, it doesn’t seem to be plastic nor metal…… well, it seems that it’s a mysterious material with a weird feel that I never felt before when I was on earth. In the middle, a beautiful blue gem is embedded. I start appraising it immediately, to confirm the name and the effect.
[Choker of the Black king]………. Cla.s.s
Equipment cla.s.s. Of all the materials that exist in the world, this black king stone that is made into a choker is especially rare. It can reflect magic attacks. But, the power to reflect magic, depends on the level of the wearer. The jewel embedded in the middle, called blue healing stone, has the power to augment the power of recovery magic. The size of the equipment varies according to the wearer.
And furthermore it’s Mythical cla.s.s!? It’s stronger than my dagger of water spirits ball!?
But, it has very nice effects, I hurried and equipped it to my neck.
"Um? Next is……"
"A heart ha?…… I wonder if I should give this to Saria?"
[Endless Love necklace]…… Fantasy cla.s.s equipment. Under Zeanosu’s special conditions the only way in the world to get one is to defeat him. A Pink coloured jewel with the form of a heart which is called the "Love jewel", or "Love Heart"", which has been said to be a jewel of legend. The silver from the chain part is a special silver called Sawden silver that is said to be only in legends.
"………… OH…………"
Wait Fantasy cla.s.s!? I knew they existed!?
This is a dream like item for a harem b.a.s.t.a.r.d!? It is absolutely! I, I am gla~ad…… that I am the one with this, that way a harem b.a.s.t.a.r.d can’t power up. Somewhere harem b.a.s.t.a.r.d……
"U wa~a…… such a cute necklace!"
un…… this, is better if Saria is equipped with it rather than me. While thinking so, I give the necklace in my hand to Saria, in that moment.
"Wa~a……"
"Wait…… what!? What happened!?"
"………… Wai?"
In short, the first owner gives the necklace to the person he holds affection for…… the first owner that will be me, and the person I love…… that’s Saria, and then the necklace will become two.
"Saria. This pendant…… will you accept it?"
"Yes, and ……"
"Here. If I wear one as well then Saria and I will match"
"Ummm…… well then…… I’ll accept one?"
Saria in bishōjo state, the destructive power of the combo that comes from the up-from-under look while the fidgeting was terrifying. I could feel my own face getting red, I pa.s.s the necklace to Saria, but Saria stops me, shaking her head.
"eh?"
Here is Saria with her killer cla.s.s combo from the up-from-under look while fidgeting, without saying a word I put the necklace on Saria’s neck.
"Un, thanks!"
After having such an exchange with Saria, I confirm again the inside of the treasure box, there is only money. So, I remove the money bag and check the contents, 5000 Platinium, 47000 gold, and 76000 silver. ……
But, even if I don’t need it, I am not gonna throw it away. I put every drop item into the items box. With this, almost all the drop items are appraised. So, the only thing ――――
In front of me is, the pure white sword, and the jet black sword. The pure white sword, I know it’s the one Zeanosu used, the jet black sword, after the defeat of Zeanosu it fall and pierced the ground…….But, thinking about it won’t do a thing so first lets appraise the jet black sword, I activated the appraise skill.
"Oh, this is such a cheat"
First of all, I came from a peaceful world, and suddenly getting this dangerous weapon it has to be some weird misunderstanding (TL: I give up on this guy….).
"Wait, this sword has no scabbard……"
"…… Uwa~a, as expected from another world. Everything can happen."
"The last…… this pure white sword"
[Sword overflowing with Benevolence (White)]…… fantasy cla.s.s weapon. Zeanosu’s special conditions, defeat him to obtain the weapon. Touching a comrade, it is possible to transfer magic and physical strength with the intention of the owner. The owner, enters a supernatural recovery state, to some extent the damage and scratches are completely healed overnight. When you use recovery magic, the effect is doubled from normal. However, these effects depends on the level of the owner.
What the h.e.l.l!? I am graced by the great cheat!?
With all the cheat equipment, the only salvation is that even now I am a level 1. If I had Zeanosu’s cla.s.s level…… With only the equipment I won’t stop being human. It’s kind of funny, I feel having this equipment is unfortunate, but I haven’t met any other humans yet. If I finally meet someone and they have equipment like mine I will be relieved.
As I murmured so again, the "Sword overflowing with Benevolence"…… was wrapped in a kind light and when the light disappeared it was in a white scabbard.
But, I was forgetting the most important part.
"The acquisition of a large amount of experience has been confirmed. The state to do the final evolution has been confirmed. Special evolution conditions achieved. It was confirmed that you have achieved the evolution conditions by the difference of 1000 levels. Upon the achievement of the final evolution, the other party was confirmed to be a dungeon boss. From this, the final evolution, the special evolution will happen. Bonus evolution occurs. Now, all stat’s will receive 50000 + 20000 + 20000 + 10000. From now, the final evolution, special evolution, and bonus evolution will happen." Why is the indifferent voice that I always hear so much longer than usual ――――
