Blessing from the Goddess and Transfer to Another World! ~No Thanks, I Don’t Need a Special Ability~ Chapter 47

>

>

If I think about it normally, a former crime slave of a queen and such, it's a combination where the king will become worried for the rest of his life.

For the time being, let's do something about the king who has been advancing the conversation on his own.

[I'm sorry, but I have no intentions of letting Mio go.]

[Why do you not!? You mean you are going to split two people who love each other!?]

Who and who are you saying are loving each other……

Was the king this kind of character? Somehow he suddenly lost his brains though ……

[If it is recompense then of course I shall give you one! How about a magic filled large magic crystal!?]

To think that I can get a magic filled crystal with Mio alone despite the combination of the three rewards being an empty magic crystal…… What in the world was our last negotiation for?

The ones surprised by these words are the retainers instead. That too is natural. Because large magic crystal are also the cornerstones of the country……

[Father! What are you losing your mind to!? We cannot simply let you give them a large magic crystall filled with magic over such a worthless reason, can we!?]

[What about it being worthless!? Is it not pitiful for my first love!?]

Is it his first love…… Well, he's a royalty, love marriages and such wouldn't have been easy after all.

Come to think of it, he said this topic was the most important or something didn't he? Is he an idiot……

[If it comes to this then it's a duell! Jin-dono! Wager Mio-san and duel with -gohah!]

When the king was about to say something stupid, the prince drove a clean hit to the king's temple with the handle of the spear he borrowed from a soldier. The king tumbles down like that.

[I'm sorry. My father spoke of trivial matters. If possible, could you pretend you have heard nothing and move towards the subjugation of the Hero? I will restore him to sanity as soon as possible, so……]

Prince said cheerfully while returning the spear to the soldier. Because he no longer knew where the conversation would land on if it continues to head to a strange direction, he forced it to end I guess. He didn't stand out until now, but he seems to have a strong will to act without hesitation at the necessary time. The eldest son, prince Julius being dead is a major incident, but if a person like him is in the royal family then it should be peaceful. …..Why am I reviewing the royal family I wonder.

[And then, what shall we do about the matter of the rewards? While he said he would talk about it afterwards, my father's condition is like this now though……]

It would be impossible to talk about it I guess, what with him lying spread eagle.

That's right. I got my hands on the large magic crystal I wanted the most. Getting one more magic crystal is one, but shall I request another thing I want here?

[Then, would a house, a place in the capital that will become our base be acceptable?]

We already have a base in Kastal so I don't particularly need it, but I think it will be good to have a place in each country that becomes our base. That and there's also a need to prepare a place to live for Cynthia and the others who I planned to keep active in this country.

[A residence is it? Alright. I will have them prepare several candidates.]

The prince consents immediately.

[I will be relying on you.]

After saying that we leave the audience room. Cattleya comes along with our party as well.

[Your Highness princess Cattleya, is Your Highness fine with not having to do preparations and such?]

[It is fine to call me without any formalities. I planned to to come along with everyone from the beginning, so I had them finish the preparations already. I have put all of the necessary things inside my item box.]

Cattleya shows me the pouch she was carrying. After checking it with , I see it is about the same size as Sakura's but it seems to be a very high cla.s.s article that stores ten times the things. However, it looks like a calculation error when compared to . ……No, I think it's pitiful to compare it with .

[Okay then. Then, let's enter the dungeon like this. It is just nearly the time to link up with my group who returned to Lilia's side after all.]

[Alright.]

Just before we leave the castle, Elinsia approached us by running.

[I'm sorry for bothering you when you are about to be busy. You may have heard it from Marisan, but I wanted to give you my grat.i.tude for having saved Cattleysama so I ran after you. Here, take these.]

Saying that, Elincia presented a bundle of envelopes.

[They're envelopes I've seen somewhere before aren't they……]

[Yes, I've prepared letters of introduction to the useful ones among the connections I have. If there is anything you need, feel free to make use of them please.]

[Okay. I'll gratefully receive it.]

Elinsia's letters of introduction will be useful in the end after all. If she carefully selected them, then there should be only a few that will be useless.

After leaving the castle we directly headed to the dungeon. I talk with Cattleya on the way.

[……Earlier, father said that I've decided to carry out the murder of the Hero.]

[Yeah he did, is there something about it?]

[You have accepted our unreasonable request, but could you honestly yield the finis.h.i.+ng blow to me?]

I already knew about it, but Cattleya's anger towards Kusakabe is quite deeply ingrained it seems.

[I have borrowed the sword of my deceased oniisama. I want to deal the decisive blow with this sword before the funeral service and have him die together with Oniisama.]

Cattleya's eyes are filled with bitter determination. There's no use persuading a person who became like this with mere words. I don't feel like persuading her from the start though…….

I think she's rather competent. Kusakabe has been cornered by his own actions. Someone who has a link, no who has a cause ought to put an end to him. The Tyranno? The cause that was prepared was poor but I kicked him about.

[Understood. We'll make sure to let you deal the finis.h.i.+ng blow as much as we can Cattleya.]

[Thank you. In the event we subjugate the Hero, I will do anything if the request can be granted by me.]

[Hey hey, can a princess blurt out something like that……]

The princess said she'll do anything for me you know.

[Yes, because I will be disappearing from the public scene either way once this matter is over.]

[What do you mean?]

[It is because my appearance have become unsightly like this. I won't be able to marry anywhere as is and even if I show my face at a public occasion I cannot show a good face. I'm likely to be targeted by Eludia if I came to kill the Hero. It should be decided that I will be spending my remaining years quietly in a remote region somewhere.]

There's no family for her to marry into. She will have nothing to do with politics. She will be aimed at by a troublesome party. She's right, maybe she can only disappear from the public scene and live in secret.

[How about it? I am even fine with being your partner at night you know? That is, if you are fine with this tattered body of mine…Even if I say that to you who has many beautiful and adorable kids, I am just pitiable isn't it…]

[Becoming quite desperate aren't you.]

[Of course I would……]

We pa.s.s through the dungeon's entrance with Cattleya who became silent at that point and transfered to the 19th floor with the transfer stones.

[Jin-sama, we have been waiting for you.]

Greeting us after we transfered was Maria. Cynthia and twins seems to be hutning monsters at a somewhat seperate place .

[You three! Jin-sama is here.]

[[[Yes (nanodesu)]]]

With the battle ending just then, the three also headed this way. Those 3 people are heading here. After quick check, their status went up rather well. Looks like they has been fighting quite a while back.

A: One hour worth of status.

Properly speaking, I have to explain the details of the circ.u.mstances to Maria and the others in order to not be suspected, but if I do it properly then I could rush off various parts of the conversation .

[Now then, now that everyone is gathered, I have something to talk with you Cattleya.]

[What is it?]

[You want to deal the finis.h.i.+ng blow to the Hero right?]

[Yes, of course I do.]

Cattleya strongly nods. She is tightly grasping the sword that was her brother's memento with her left hand that wasn't broken.

[Are you okay with only the finis.h.i.+ng blow? Don't you think you want to do it yourself and fight him?]

[That is……, of course I want to kill him by my own hand. But he isn't an enemy I can win against. The reason the Hero's gift was not effective against the volcano golem was because the opponent was too hard. He is supposed to be nearly the strongest ability against ordinary humans.]

The strongest huh. Calling him the strongest with that level of ability is laughable.

[The Hero's gift looks like a high speed movement isn't it.]

[That's right. He has been using it when he stabbed His majesty the King as well. He was fast as it is, but not enough for me to not be able to follow him with my eyes.]

That's right. Like Sera said, I have also properly seen it. Apparently, he seems to be moving with thrice the speed of ordinary humans, but truth is if it's that much then you can chase him with your eyes if you have level 5 and above could follow his movement with your eyes and at level 7 you could do nearly the same. Of course, there's synergy if you raised it by but Kusakabe has his gift and he can use for combat so it's irrelevant.

[Eh, you could see his movements!?]

Cattleya is surprised. Her is level 2, she couldn't see anything.

[Yeah, I think all of our members could probably see him.]

Everybody who were at that place nod. Sakura and I wasn't expected to have seen it so we didn't nod.

[We could manage something like that somehow. if I'm told to aim and attack with a bow then it'll be a little harsh as expected though……]

Mio takes over the conversation. By the way, Dora and Kate were there but they can't speak so they didn't say anything.

[Mio-san and others too…… I knew, but I am the most useless aren't I?]

[Setting aside whether you are useless or not, there's no mistaking your combat ability being the lowest I guess. That's why, you gave up killing the Hero with your own hands right?]

[That is…correct…… It should be enough to bring down that Hero with just Jin-sama and the others right? My partic.i.p.ating would become a burden instead isn't it……]

[Yeah, it'll be like that under normal circ.u.mstances. Except, I have a proposal for you.]

[A proposal… is it?]

I think Cattleya doesn't understand what I want to say with that. Of course she wouldn't. What I'm about to do isn't something ordinary.

[Cattleya, you said I can do whatever I like if you can kill the Hero right? You don't have any plans to do advance payment on that?If I have to be more specific, won't you become my subordinate?]

[Subordinate… you say?]

[Yeah, if you swear from the bottom of your heart that you will become my subordinate, then I think I'm fine with granting you just the strength to be able to kill that Hero. If that's the case you will be able to partic.i.p.ate in the fight with the Hero.]

[I-Is that true!?]

Cattleya shows a surprised expression and clings to me. It's an absurd story if she thinks about it calmly, but she seems to be emotionally cornered enough that she won't come up with something like that. Her hatred towards the Hero must be that strong.

I'm thinking it's fine to add Cattleya to my subordinates. ……No, I know. It can only look like I'm collecting women of royalty. Not to mention with an appearance of me deceiving a girl, whose mental condition isn't normal from hatred and resignation, with smooth talks.

[Yeah, it is true. But there are many details I can't possibly say to someone, so if you become my subordinate you will keep secret the many details I will talk about. Oh, don't misunderstand, okay? Because it's not “Please don't say it”, but “You will be unable to say it”.]

Of course, I will give status and skill even if she won't become my subordinate, I can recover her lost limbs with "Revive". But doing that without making her my subordinate would come with a not so small risk. At the very least if I make her my subordinate, the command “don't say it” will have quite a strong influence after all.

If she won't become my subordinate then the conversation ends here. And then I don't have to reply even if I'm asked. The contents of the commission is the subjugation of the Hero. There was no conversation about abiding to Cattleya's instructions among the contents so it's up to me to decide. I can do what I want.

Cattleya look downward and thought it over. When she lifts up her face, she looks at me with eyes keeping bitter determination.

[Jin-sama. By all means, please make me your subordinate. I have nothing to lose anymore at any rate. If I can destroy the Hero with these hands then I will even sell my soul to the devil.]

After calling G.o.d you call the devil next? Well, if pushed to say, I even feel their sides are pretty close. Now then, since it's come to this, shall I try saying that line?

[Do you want power?]

[Buhoh!]

Mio spouts and laughs while holding her stomach. Way to spoil the mood.

[Yes! I want power! Power to kill the Hero!]

[In that case, take out your pinky finger and swear to become my subordinate.]

Cattleya shows her still-usable left hand in front of me. I also take out my left hand and link my pinky finger with hers. Due to , she has become my subordinate.  At the same time, I also transfer statuses and skills to Cattleya.

Name : Cattleya

LV12

Skill :

[Po, power is overflowing throughout my body!?]

Because of her ability being raised suddenly she would experience that feeling. Cattleya is shocked while she moves her body.

[With this……, I may really be able to take down the Hero……]

[I said it before, but not a word about my power.]

[Yes, I understand that. If it's known that you can do something like this, then anybody would desire power after all……]

Cattleya thinks after calming down a little and notices the usefulness of my power.

[Of course, don't tell the king either. I have no intentions to work for Estia kingdom.]

[Yes, it is somewhat of a pity, but I understand.]

[There is one more thing. We can also restore your arm and erase the burn marks.]

[You can even do something like that!? ……I would've wanted you to inform me a little earlier if it was possible, but this isn't a subject you can talk with other people no matter how one looks at it.]

Well, there's no way I can say it. Basically the secret related to our special powers is something that can thoroughly turn common knowledge upside down with just one of them.

[But no thank you for now. If these injuries are recovered now, then my anger towards the Hero, my hatred would fade a little. It isn't something I can possibly do. First I will bring down the Hero while holding this hatred. I will think about it afterwards.]

Cattleya to abstain from recovering her losses was a little unexpected, but was accepted with her continuing words. It means Cattleya's anger is deep and she refuses even “her anger weakening”. I think her consistency is rather likable.

I can't say anything unreasonable if she has that kind of reason. She's one armed so it should drop her combat ability a little, but we could also cover for her so it shouldn't become a problem.

[Understood. Then, let's talk about it again at that time.]

[It is a selfish request but, could you let me consider it once more when the Hero is brought down I wonder……]

[Yeah, I don't mind it.]

[Thank you very much……]

Oh well, apart from the revenge towards the Hero, it is natural that she would like to be healed if there is something that can heal it.

[Then, how about we start our anti-Hero meeting soon?]

I put off the detailed (Mio's) explanation for Cattleya, we should prioritize taking down the Hero first.

[First, I'm thinking about deciding the members who will partic.i.p.ate in this time's battle.]

[Eh? We are not fighting with everyone?]

Cattleya asks wonderingly.

[That should be too much of an excess in fighting power against the Hero. At least, Dora, Maria, Sera and I can reliably win even one on one.]

[So the strength of Jin-sama's group is that much……?]

Cattleya smiles awkwardly. Which reminds me, she hasn't seen our fight directly yet did she. She was unconscious during the fight with the Volcano Golem.

[We can follow with our eyes, but our bodies don't see to be able to follow it……]

Sakura murmurs so. By the way, her is level 10. Wait could it be, do people with special powers have negative corrections on skills beside production?

A : No. It is only the production skills. Her natural lack of reflexes just exceeds the effective level of the skill.

……Looks like Sakursan's lack of reflex went past the skill's correction.

[My weapon's affinity are you know~. Fighting alone with a bow against a quick opponent with a dagger is a disadvantage for me.]

It should be harsh for Mio to go alone. Rather, Sakura and Mio are rear guards, there's no need for them to be able to do something like that until now though.

Of course it'll be easy for even those two to kill someone like Kusakabe if I increase their status to the max. But doing that for someone like Kusakabe is more than he deserves and Cattleya would lose her turn so I don't plan to increase their status that much for this fight.

[This time's leading actress is Cattleya after all. Other members will be the support for the end.]

[Then, I shall partic.i.p.ate as the s.h.i.+eld.]

[Alright.]

The first one who declared to partic.i.p.ate is Sera. It should become quite easy even for Cattleya if the s.h.i.+eld Sera is there.

[What will Cynthia's team do?]

When I look at Cynthia and her team, Cynthia and the twins shows a troubled face.

[I'm not prepared to fight humans yet. I want to stay back this time.]

[[Us too.]]

Cynthia and the twins repeatedly fought quite a lot of battles and they have gotten reasonable abilities. However, they currently have no experience in antipersonnel combat or murder. There hasn't been any opportunities to fight human beings while diving the dungeon until now though……

Maria, Mio and Sera are surprisingly have no hesitation in regards to murder, but they're abnormal by nature I guess.

I have absolutely no intention to force those who would be my slaves to murder. It should be fine for the people who are prepared for it. n.o.body should get any benefits even if I make people who aren't prepared for it kill people.

[What's about you, Kate?]

>

[……Then, observe together with the other three.]

>

Kate doesn't wish to fight, but she wishes to be useful to me. She seems to be thinking that it's useless to even fight a fight I don't wish for. Instead, I'm sure she will kill without hesitation if I wish for it……
