Chapter 30 : Just when I thought that my wives were cheat characters, I suddenly discovered that I became a cheat character myself
TL notes: Divine changed into Holy since it's more accurate. On the question of cursed vs. magic sword. Both can be written with the same kanji, so it's just a matter of flavor which suits it better. Magical power was changed to magic power.
"Thank you for your hard dork. See you later~"
*slimy* *slimy* *squeeze* *squeeze*
Outskirts of the marshland, far away from the count and his party.
We gave the slimes some more pieces of dried meat as a reward, and they returned to their habitat while jumping.
Seeing them off, I suddenly realized something.
"… why am I even working so much?"
It's too late to comprehend that, but it's strange nevertheless. I was only dreaming of living my life slowly.
We handled the quest and fought a formidable enemy… we were pursued and fought again…
I feel like I made a mistake somewhere. We managed to get sufficient money, and there was no need to accept any new quests.
I am suspending my work as an adventurer for some time. Let's take a rest for a short while at the hot spring town.
We started to walk on the highway.
On the way we talked about the town we're moving towards, the port city Irgafar, and about our skills.
We also decided to check our skills at the same time so that it would be easy to cooperate at critical times.
All of us — Cecyl, Rita, Aine, and I had the number of our skills increased.
We started with my skills.

Race: Human
Occupation: Skill Structure (TL: that's what it says)
Level: 2
Inherent Skill — [Ability Reconstruction — Skill Structure — LV3]
It allows creating new skills by altering the [concepts] of skills belonging to me and my slaves. By doing the reconstruction of the skills belonging to my slaves and my own skills, its special characteristic makes it easy to create higher grade skills than the skills used.
At the second level, the skill becomes able to do the reconstruction of three people at the same time.
Furthermore, the skill makes it possible to supply the slaves with magic power by utilizing the exchange of magic power during the reconstruction.
It's unknown whether the transfer was available from the beginning or was it achieved with LV2. The same can be said about LV3, whether the ability increased in strength is unknown.
Common Skills:
[Gifted Fencing LV1] (Rare)
[Increase (10% + LV * 10%)] the [Recovery] by means of [Sword or Blade]

Furthermore, saved offensive power proportionally raises the strike range as well.

Unique Magic:
[Force Arrow LV1] (Ultra Super Rare: Cecyl, Rita)
Unleashes black arrow. The offensive power is zero, but it can s.n.a.t.c.h the magic power inside the target. That magic power then vanishes alongside the black arrow (Cecyl doesn't receive the stolen magic power).
This magic's natural targets are magicians, golems, and guardians.

Just to be sure, next is Laydi.

Once the job is done, the slimes will be delighted if a reward is provided.
[Self Regeneration LV8]
Allows restoring the blade to its former state in one hour, no matter how chipped or broken it is.
The pain apparently remains, so I am unable to remain calm because of the screams once it's broken.
… Speaking of which, there was something I had to ascertain at all costs.
[Umm, Laydi]
"Will the current you not get caught in the detection magic?" > That's how it is apparently, if I was to believe Laydi. Kings of the past left behind records and a.n.a.lysis of the cursed sword they wielded in order to make it possible to discover it during its next emergence. This knowledge was then handed down to magicians and used in the detection magic. Nevertheless, the current Laydi had already lost its former skills and was under a slave contract with me. It turned out that because of the change in her wavelength of magic power, she would no longer be caught in this detection magic. *poof* — a redhead girl appeared before me. She acquired pigtails before I knew it. Floating in the air, she grabbed my hand and hugged me close. She was frantically shaking her head with tears in her eyes, like a puppy who was about to be thrown away. > "I've told you, I won't do it. Look, you are a comrade to me" <…thank you,="" my="" lord="">> And then, Laydi vanished. So she's unexpectedly meek. She's useful, she can cut things, and she listens to what she's told now. It's thanks to Laydi that we managed to cooperate with the slimes. In addition, my fighting strength has risen due to me being able to use [Delay Arts] on top of her convenient regenerative abilities — Hmm? Strange. I thought it was just my slaves who were cheat characters, but it seems like I turned into a cheat character myself inadvertently? Oh well… that's fine, I guess. My primary goal was to discover a skill that would allow me to live without having to work. Fighting strength was secondary. We weren't going to do the unreasonable and deliberately approach the problems as much as possible. That's our motto, after all. Ever since we left Metekal there wasn't a single person on a highway. The approaching monsters were being caught in Rita's [Detection] skill and, if their levels were low, then sent flying far away by Aine's [Monster Sweep] skill. After Laydi finished her regeneration, our party was complete again. So there was not a problem right now. It looked like we would be able to reach the next town by evening. Fu-u. We finally could relax since we gained enough distance from Metekal and the count's party. The others were apparently of the same idea, they talked in whispers all this time, but right now they were unawaringly speaking like usual. It's not like they let their guard completely down though. Given our situation, the first order of business was to gather intelligence so that our trip could proceed safely. "Everyone, is there anything to be cautious about in Irgafar? What are its dangerous areas? Should you know something about it, please tell me beforehand" "Yes, Nagi-sama" "Okay, Nagi" "Yes, Nkun" "I am more or less knowledgeable on the subject. No, I won't be your slave though!" The four people raised their voices at the same time. As I was thinking about why they exchanged glances between themselves, Cecyl stood up and pointed a finger up. "Here comes a question. How many moles are there on Nagi-sama's back? The one whose guess is the most correct will receive a privilege of teaching Nagi-sama about Irgafar" "…. Um, Cecyl" "T-that's for the sake of properly serving Nagi-sama as well. That's a slave's responsibility" Why is Cecyl staring so intensely at me? "I firmly believe that in order to be a perfect servant to Nagi-sama who's the most important person in the world, a slave has to know his every nook and cranny!" "Even I don't know how many moles I have on my back, you know?" "Okay, then by my duty I will count them all!" Cecyl raised her hands, smiling like a sun. This seemed like a perfect opportunity, so I place my hand on her head. Such a pretty silver hair, it's like silk. I touched the long brown ears, and Cecyl felt ticklish and closed her eyes. "Can't be helped, I will teach everyone the rules of peaceful outcome resolution of my worl— no, of the country I was born in" "Wai. I did it~!" When I answered Cecyl, she bent her small body and jumped with all her might. "It's been a long time since Nagi-sama last talked about his hometown, wasn't it?" Hmm? Oh, that might be so. Certainly, I probably didn't speak about my former world to everyone. Most of those memories I just didn't want to remember after all. However, I inadvertently came to not bother with that as much as I did previously. …… I wonder why? As we walked, I taught everyone how issues were peacefully resolved everywhere in my former world. This world had nothing like that. Humans, elves, demonkins, beastkins, and many others. Given how many races there were, there probably was no way to establish any sort of conformed rules. Well, it will be world-first case, I suppose. "That's how it is, is everyone ready?" "Yep, I understand, Cecyl-chan!" "Roger" "I don't like being left out. No, I still won't become your slave or anything!" "… Can I partic.i.p.ate… as well?" "No hard feelings. Nagi-sama has taught us the way of peaceful outcome resolution, the winner will be decided as previously discussed… Here we go-o " """""A privilege to talk with (Nagi-sama) (Nagi) (Nkun) (Nagi-san) (My lord) alone until the next town will be granted to the winner (How did it even come to this)!""""" Wait a minute, the goal has been changed. """"" — Janke-e-e-n""""" On the road under the empty sky far away from the city Metekal, the trip was taking place whose partic.i.p.ants left behind something bothersome, like obligations, being a hero, or their mission. Three slave girls, one companion, and a magic sword. They were raising their hands to the sky alongside their voices in the first ever game of Janken, the method to peacefully resolve a conflict.
