Sylphids POV.

Weird, as expected, hes weird.

I heard from the temple that he has two Skills.

Only AppraisalComplete and Cut & Paste.

Even so, he used a self-enhancement Skill?

Furthermore, directly receiving fire magic to such an extent, the damage he received made him had no choice but to all on his knees in the presence of the enemy.

However, after receiving backup from Aisha, he easily cut down four orcs.

In the first place if its solo hunting orcs, its impossible if one doesnt have the strength of a B-rank adventurer.

Even so, as if it was nothing, he slayed four orcs in the blink of an eye.

And then, when I was beside him seeing the injury he has As if healing his injuries with a Recovery-type Skill, his injuries were almost healed.

Exactly, what kind of secret does he have!?

Why is the King here first!!! Damn it!!!!

When the Calamity-class monster OrcKing was in front of my eyes, Im ashamed to say but my body froze, and couldnt move.

Aisha who was beside me seemed to also couldnt move.

At the chance where we couldnt move, the OrcKing attacked with that large golden battleaxe.

Aisha-san, knight-san I will fight with all my strength now. Thats why, the both of you please run as far as possible. If the both of you are here I cant bring out my full power

Thats absurd you know!? We cant even win against one general with just us, if were gonna fight itll be the three of us! If its the three of us there might be a chance

Thats impossible you know, defeating that is If I cant use my Skills with all my strength then its definitely impossible

it seems that he plans to take on the three generals and the king by himself.

He said hell use his Skills with all his strength right?

In other words, even sending the orcs just now to oblivion wasnt his full power.

I see, with us here its surely a hindrance.

Its because theres nothing harder, fighting something stronger while protecting.

Thus, unfortunately, its obvious that Aisha and I are nothing but burdens when fighting against those guys.

Aisha claimed that we will be stronger fighting with the three of us, but I think its best that we pull out here like he said.

Though I have confidence in my skill, honestly its difficult to say whether I can even defeat one general.

As I thought as such, while the King suddenly shouted, it began to act violently.

Thats because the battleaxe it was holding suddenly disappeared.

Is this also Mynes doing?

Run the both of you!!!!!

Told that by Myne, I didnt complain and started running towards the forest.

Though Aisha seems to be dissatisfied, she followed me.

Now then, this should be enough?

Ill entrust my life to you, thats why show me to your hearts content! The full strength you said!!

Thus, his life or death battle started.

He used magic, and not just one attribute, but fire wind water and earth.

And I think all of those are Colossal-class power magic.

Probably from the wave of Colossal-class magic, I think he wants to settle the generals first.

If the generals interrupt when hes fighting with the king, he understands that it will be an overwhelmingly unfavorable situation.

And probably, so that the generals dont come to us.

In the middle of this desperate fight by only himself, we are surprised because he could worry about us.

Hes amazing huh

Though it was a soliloquy I accidentally muttered, Aisha seems to think the same and replied Isnt he.

She then brought both her hands together, shut her eyes and started praying.

Probably, no, without a doubt shes wishing for Mynes victory.

Thats right, the only thing we can do now is to pray to God huh.

I dont know why God bestowed the Skills to Myne-kun.

However, for him to put himself in such a desperate battle is without a doubt due to the Skills he was bestowed with.

If thats so God! Let Myne somehow win, help him out so that he will return to where we are safely.

Like Aisha I joined my hands together, and strongly strongly offered my prayers.

Myne is putting up a better fight than I had expected.

Whatever happened, it now seems absurd to question his ability, since he showed a good match using a lot of Skills.

However, the dagger Myne was holding had snapped.

If his weapon is gone, there is no way for Myne to fight.

Although the OrcKing also lost his weapon, orcs have physical strength which defies common sense in the first place.

Just by swinging their arms, they can defeat humans and others in a moment.

Myne has a good command of his Skills, and has been resisting the OrcKings attacks, but now that he has lost his weapon, theres no doubt that the situation will gradually worsen.

This is bad

Yeah

Aisha probably reached the same conclusion.

Staring at Myne, who was desperately fighting with a ghastly pale face.

Then, she probably made a resolution.

Preparing the she was holding bow, she was about to shoot an arrow as the OrcKing.

Stop that!

I restrained Aisha in a panic.

Even if you were to attack, it wont change the result. Instead you would make Myne unable to control its Hate and only cause him trouble

Hate, namely, enmity.

About controlling this enmity, especially when fighting monsters in a party, you have to care about it.

For humans, if they were to be hit, it will remember the human who hit it and return it.

Against several opponents, in the situation where there is enmity, naturally it will target the opponent it is most angry with = the one with strongest enmity.

For monsters, similar to humans, they will attack the one who accumulates the most enmity.

Using this, parties will coordinate so that the people who are in a position called Shielder will always receive the most enmity.

The other members will slowly attack it so that they dont cross over the enmity the Shielder has earned, and finally defeat it unscathed.

This is the tactics for the general party.

Aisha who tried to attack, might disturb the HateControl Myne is desperately doing.

If it received an attack from an unexpected place, the OrcKings awareness will naturally be turned towards here.

Of course, since there is an obstacle called Myne, it wont immediately come towards here, but the OrcKing isnt an enemy who can do things we cant imagine.

Since its impossible for Aisha, a former B-rank adventurer, to not know of such a thing, she must be flustered.

Listening to my restraint, I realised she was grinding her molars.

Shes undoubtedly angry with herself for being unable to do anything.

Even I feel that too! I, unable to cover him, who is fighting a difficult fight right now, cant help but feel angry at myself.

However, while we were having such a conflict, the fight has progressed greatly.

W, what happened?

Suddenly, while thinking that Mynes hand shone, a beautiful dagger which I have never seen before appeared.

Even from such a distance, I know that that dagger holds a tremendous power.

Is that, his Skill too.

He is an incomprehensible existence to such an extent.

Then, that moment finally arrived.

He also showed it before, probably that is Martial Arts: Shark Glow.

With that overwhelming destructive power, the Calamity-class monster, OrcKing, fell to the ground.

Phew, thanks to him we were able to somehow survive.

If its him he may perfectly fulfil my hopes.

In other words, my aim can be achieved.(TLC:)

Now then, I need to think of how to make him understand my aim after this.

Aisha who was showing a happy smile beside me glanced over here, shes also probably.

Like this, Aisha and I rushed over to Mynes side.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please take care of me.

The Orc Settlement arc has now ended, honestly I was troubled writing the POV of women but I wonder how was it?

Putting away the corpses of the OrcKing and OrcGenerals, we safely returned to the Town of Lucas.

On the way back, I was extremely worried that they will ask about my Skills, but in the end, they did not ask.

Perhaps they didnt notice?

No, no matter how you put it thats impossible huh I used such showy magic, and they even saw Twirling.

On the contrary not asking anything makes it all the more weird.

Id be bringing trouble by touching upon that subject, but its really awkward.

Aisha-san and the female knight-san seems to be first bringing the womanAmy-san, who as captured by the orcs to the guild.

I was told that we need to first report the orc settlement to the guild leader.

Ah, if the guild leader were to know that I defeated the OrcKing, wont he ask about my Skills again.

Rather than that, hell hear all about them from these two huh.

This is depressing I should probably escape to another town soon.

However, I cant possibly abandon the house otou-san and okaa-san left me.

While feeling dejected, we arrived at the town.

It seems that I was making an excessively terrible face.

The gatekeeper-san I was acquainted with looked at me and made a concerned face.

Now then, after we finished the things at the guild, I think Ill visit your house. Sorry but Id like for you to not go out and wait.

Parting, the female knight-san informed me.

Its here, its here, its hereShe even especially forced me so that I dont go out, you know!?

I who had my way out blocked, had not choice but to say yesfeebly and return a nod.

Aisha-san who looked at our exchange showed a sorrowful expression, but felt a little anxious.

Was that my imagination?

Though my nerves were worn out, I somehow finally arrived at my home safely, gulped down well water repetitively, and could finally let out a breath.

Now, although I defeat a lot of orcs, I wonder what my level has become?

Uwaa. This is startling, if I do say so myself, what is this.

My levels 61, this is an all-time high among the times Ive appraised levels Its two time higher than the highest person.

Though I think its due to Tenfold Experience Acquisition, I seriously cant tell people, this.

F, for now, lets forget it. Yes, lets forget (escape from reality).

Ah, thats right thats right! Yes, I have to dismantle the orcs!!

Because otou-san was a hunter, my house has a big dismantling shed in the yard.

Im told that when otou-san was building the house, since it would be convenient to transport the prey and dismantle them, he built them together.

The place is suitable for handling a large quantity of orcs like this time.

Thank you otou-san!

Its not so bad if its only orcs, but if I were to expose the generals and king to the public gaze, a panic might happen.

If they wouldnt buy it, Illeat it, I guess? But, its definitely impossible for me to eat all of them alone.

Whatever, its no use even if I think about it, for the time being lets dismantle the numerous orcs and high orcs.

At about 10 of them, as I ended the dismantling I heard a voice from the entryway.

Ah, its finally here.

While feeling dejected from my escapism time ending, I headed towards the entryway.

As I opened the door, as I had expected, it was the female knight-san and huh? Aisha-sans also here.

I wonder if everythings alright at the guild?

Sorry, for taking your time

No, its not a problem. Its a little messy, but for now please enter

Theres no way to talk about my Skills in public.

I originally did not want to let beautiful women like the female knight-san and Aisha-san into the house, but Ill endure.

Well, in the first place I keep things tidy and thanks to the Cleaning Skill I have confidence that its cleaner recently compared to before.

Guiding the both of them to the living room, I prepared tea and brought them out to them.

Its low grade tea but

The two of them said thanks and started drinking the tea.

Ah, Im a little nervous Why in the world did they come here for?

Now then, lets start with self-introductions. I think I am relatively famous, but because from looking at you, you dont seem to know who I am, huh

Hm? What did she say? A famous person??Nope, I dont know her at all.

My name is SylphidAugusta, this countrys first princess. I have been given a exaggerated title called Princess Knight

Ge!? A, a princess!!!! This is bad you know!? Wasnt not knowing the princess treason? Ill be arrested for such a thing??

Probably noticing my starting, the princess showed a smile and waved her hand lightly.

I generally understand what youre thinking about, no need to worry. In the first place youre my lifesaver you know? I wont complain about something like my benefactor not knowing my name

Phew, Im saved.

If I were to be arrested because of such a thing itd be way too ridiculous.

Nonetheless, I am sorry for not knowing

Even if she tells me she wont complain, I cannot afford to accept the words of royalty and nobles as it is.

In the first place, from their view, we commoners arent people they can directly talk to.

No, please stop this, Id be trouble if you were to take on such a humble attitude

I understand. And about what you wanted to talk with me

Truthfully its a topic I would like to avoid, but since the other party is a royalty, itd be bad if I were to imprudently escape.

Then, Ill be arrested.

Yes, about that where should I start, thats right lets start from the royalty

As Oujo-sama said that, she started talking about the Skills royalty hold.

Its the same for the King and Queen, but even the three princes and two princesses, have Skills surpassing those of others, they are bestowed with Skills of the best combination by Kami-sama.

Normally, for a family to all have good compatibility of good Skills, is almost none.

However, this seems to be the truth.

By the way I have been bestowed a combination of One-handed SwordExtreme and Body EnhancementLarge

Oh, its certainly an amazing combination.

SylphidAugusta

LV : 27

Age : 19 years

Occupation : Augusta Kingdoms First Princess

Skill

Body EnhancementLarge

She certainly has the same Skills she had told me about.

Her Levels even 27, as expected of her, she might be able to battle against a general?

As I appraised Oujo-sama, Oujo-sama broadly grinned.

However, somehow Oujo-samas smile right now how do I say it, I feel like its a face that has done something.

Now then, lets continue. Do you know, why all the royalty are bestowed with good Skills?

Hm? Isnt it a coincidence since Skills are bestowed by Kami-sama?

Probably because Kami-sama stealthily handing over good Skills because she only favors the royalty.

Since they must make the country better, I understand if Kami-sama favors them.

Its definitely such a thing right?

You seem to have hit upon something, tell me about it

Since royalty must properly make the country better, probably Kami-sama bestowed good Skills on purpose

Fumu, your interpretations interesting, thought the point itself isnt wrong its different

Hm? My point matches? But my answer is wrong??

To tell you the truth, a kid born from companions with good Skills will have an extremely high chance bestowed with a good Skill from the same system

Eh? What does that mean?

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Did you realise that the Skill Tame the protagonist obtained is quietly disappearing.

As you have imagined, I thought that I should slip in some lesser monsters from now on, but I am troubled as to what kind of race should be made into a companion.

If its alright please lend me your wisdom.

By the way, I was extremely troubled as to whether I should make him tame the slimes when fighting them, but thinking that its too early to include it, I passed it up.

Furthermore, I do not plan to change it into a human.

If you have a good plan it would be helpful if you could post your impressions.

Please treat me well.

To tell you the truth, a kid born from companions with good Skills will have an extremely high chance bestowed with a good Skill from the same system

Eh? What does that mean?

In other words, we royalty intentionally choose from people with good Skills as our spouse. This is one way to guide the country down the right path, like you had said previously

It seems that in order to search for suitable candidates as marriage partners for their children who will shoulder the next era, they receive reports of Skills bestowed upon new adults from the temple.

Thus, when an adult who has a good Skill appears, their characterpersonality are investigated so that theres no problem, and if there is no problem, they will reveal the information to the unmarried princes and princesses.

The princes and princesses who have obtained the information will personally confirm the other party, and if they judge that theres no problem, they will usher in the other party as spouses and start negotiations, it seems to be like that.

Eh?? That means.

Yes, I came here to confirm with my own eyes whether you will become my partner

I, I, I, I as Oujo-samas partner!!!!!??

W, wait a minute, eh? What does that mean? The Oujo-sama in front of me becoming my wife? Eh? Eh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

Calm down, you naturally also want to choose your partner right? Though I am royalty, I wouldnt force a marriage with power of the state

I was really shocked

Yeah, your flustering was to the point of comical, its quite the sight you know

She said that as she giggled.

Oujo-sama who smiled looking at my face has a completely different atmosphere from the dignified one up until just now, there was a cuteness befitting of her age.

Being an Oujo-sama is as expected difficult huh.

When I looked at Oujo-samas face, I was bothered by Aisha-san beside her who suddenly became bitter.

Aisha-san, do you feel unwell? Are you alright?

As I began to talk her, she forced a smile and answered Im alright.

No matter how I see it you dont look okay though.

Since I was really indebted to Aisha-san, I am very worried about her.

Seeing the exchange between Aisha-san and I, Oujo-sama said Fumu and showed a gesture of pondering over something.

For now, is it okay to continue?

Ah, thats right Since she suddenly talked about marriage the talk was interrupted.

Ah, yes

You probably noticed from the talk just now, but I know about the Skill you were bestowed with

Dokun!!

I felt my heart suddenly started moving violently.

Its finally here! The thing I dont want to be asked the most How should I deceive her.

I cant think of anything at all boo-hoo. (TLN: , an onomatopoeia used when miserable/pathetic. English dict. says boohoo.)

The Skills you were bestowed with and the battle style you had showed when battling with the OrcKing-tachi, no matter how I think I cant connect these two

An extremely hard to retort expression huh.

Probably knowing that I was troubled, after glancing at my appearance Oujo-sama continued.

Ive heard from Aisha, that when requested by the guild leader to expose your Skills, you rejected that and was erased from the guild. I think its certainly one thing mysterious about the Skills you were bestowed with

Aisha-san also gulped as she listened to Oujo-sama.

Thats true after all, to be told that the Skills were concealed to the extent of choosing to quit the guild.

Theres no way she wont be curious.

However, the Skills arent to the extent of quitting the guild no? Why, why did you hide it?

Also the many Skills you showed in the battle with the orcs. The maximum number of Skills Kami-sama can bestow is three

Oujo-samas argument gradually drew nearer to the core.

However, I could see that you used more than ten Skills. Furthermore the last one you showed the Skill to create a dagger

I have never heard of such a Skill, even I a royalty who has received reports on various Skill from the temple have never heard of it

Ah Realize huh That, if I remember correctly, nobody had it and knew about it huh.

Since OrcKings differ from normal monsters, I think thats why it has it, in the first place, if you dont have AppraisalSkill or AppraisalComplete, you wont even know about it.

Probably, isnt it something like a characteristic Skill?

Such a Skill was just before her eyes.

It cant be helped that she would have questions about it.

While I was thinking about such things, looking at my facial expression which was naturally cramped, she probably though that its bad to attack too much.

Oujo-sama stopped talking there, and apologised.

Sorry, I was too agitated. I absolutely do not have the intention to condemn you

How about it, Aisha and I already know so much We wont tell anyone else, wont you tell us your secret?

Well, that was what she said.

Its developed as I had expected.

What should I do I think I can trust Aisha-san.

No, I trust her.

However, since shes backed by the guild, I cant say it no matter what.

And Oujo-sama she doesnt seem to be a two-faced person, speaking of the two, I am more optimistic in trusting her.

However, her backer is even harder to handle than the guild.

After all, the countrys backing her up.

If something goes wrong and it spreads to the nobles in the blink of an eye, they might restrain me in order to make use of me.

Thinking about that, as expected, I cant tell her either.

However, like what Oujo-sama said, theres also the truth that its exposed this far.

They naturally do not know the real usage of Cut & Paste, but they might spread the fact that I possess something special.

When I thought of that, I must think of a countermeasure for it.

Oujo-sama, as you have thought, I have a fairly special power. Regarding the contents of my Skills, I cant say it no matter what for my own safety

If that were to happen, Id probably lose the place where I belong in this country Thats why I cant talk about my Skills

As I said what I had really felt, Oujo-sama and Aisha-san probably understood, and scowled while thinking.

I see, your powers stronger than what we imagine right? Well, thats true, considering that power let you solo a Calamity-class

As she said that, Oujo-sama closed her eyes and folded her arms.

She seems to be thinking hard about something.

Without talking to anyone, after five minutes of silence passed, Oujo-sama spoke again.

I understand well your reason for not saying your Skills. I certainly think that your thoughts are correct

However, you had just came of age right. Your whole life will still continue. Do you plan to live worrying everyday about when you will be exposed for that long life?

The words Oujo-sama threw at me pierced deep into my heart as if gouging it out.

Though I intentionally tried to not think about it, yes, its as Oujo-sama said.

My life from now on, I have to live as I constantly worry about when my Skills would be exposed.

Its still okay right now, but as time passes, my spirit will definitely gradually be worn out.

I definitely do not want to live such a harsh life.

Bestowed with the Skills by Kami-sama after so much troubles, I thought that I should live and work hard in my life from then on, but I definitely dont want to be tormented.

However, what should I do I dont know.

A large drop of tear fell from my eye.

I can only think of a dark future when it comes to future prospects.

Seeing that I suddenly started to shed tears, Oujo-sama started to panic.

Ah, sorry, dont cry I give up Thats right, no matter how strong you are youre still a young man who just came of age huh

Saying such pessimistic things about your promising future, I am truly sorry, please forgive me

Against my will, the tears would not stop.

At first only tears came out, but I started to sob, unrelated to my will.

Ugu gusu, uuu, h..uh? Wei..rd wilfully, my, tears are

Although I am already wailing, the situation as if not a hindrance, Aisha who watchfully waiting up until now suddenly began to talk.

Myne-kun! Lets form a party!!!

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please treat me well.
