……..Oops, this is bad.

It seems that I fell asleep for a little while. When I looked outside, it was already quite dark.

It’s almost time for dinner, I should get going already.

And so, I got up from the bed.

I left the room and went down the stairs. When I entered the dining room,

“Oi, Yuma! Quickly get over here!”

I got the usual call from Iguru who held a place for me.

However, I don’t think I should mind too much. His voice was trembling for some reason.

While I was thinking why, I came over to the reserved table.

“Yuma, about yesterday jano~?”

I couldn't notice because of her small stature, but Minarisu-san was sitting in the seat in front of Iguru. I could now understand why his voice was trembling. He did get knocked-out yesterday. For the time being, I sat down in the seat next to Minarisu-san.

“Minarisu, no, Mirisu-san, good evening. You seem ready to have dinner, but why with Iguru?”

“Umu, somehow, I heard that you often have dinner with this Hentai Kid, so I was waiting for you here.”

Henati Kid? Ah, she is definitely referring to Iguru. But man, Iguru, you just met with Mianrisu-san yesterday. What have you done to be called a Hentai Kid, Iguru?

“No, no, no! Minarisu-sam, I am not a Hentai Kid, yo! My hand just slipped is all.”

“Fumu, I thought you were a Hentai Kid by your action of holding my hand as soon as I opened the door. Ahh, well~, i’ll leave it alone for now. I’ll call you Boya from now on, and you can call me Mirisu.”

Are you crazy Iguru? A person with your appearance trying to hold Minarisu-san’s hand all of a sudden, you're a pervert without a doubt.

Well~, just the person whose hands you held was a little bit off.

“Co-Come to think of it, Yuma! Were you able to successfully hunt the Golden Rabbitsu?”

Hmmm, he seems to be trying to change the topic forcibly. Apparently, Minarisu-san was also quite on board with that.

“Ho, Yuma, did you take care of the Golden Rabbitsu today? That is a monster that even I am unable to take down or catch. What was the result jano~?”

“I was able to safely take it down. Although, it took quite a while to find it.”

“Ooo, as expected of Yuma, ze!”

“Hmm, this is certainly quite a big deal. To have dealt with it in just a day, either you are extremely lucky……..or you possess special skills that aided your success, no~?”

The last sentence seems to have been inaudible to Iguru, but it was very clear to me since she was sitting next to me.

Minarisu-san was staring at me looking for an answer. Hmmm, she was able to notice that I might be hiding special skills? I should probably ask her about this later.

While talking about other things, Sari came over with today’s dinner.

“Yuma-san, Iguru-san, it seems like Minarisu-chan has joined you guys today! I am quite glad that you guys get along with each other! Then, without further ado, here is today’s dinner. Please take your time and eat to your heart’s content.”

Saying so, Sari returned to the kitchen. Now then, since dinner has arrived.

“Hmm, this smells quite tasty, na~. Then, let’s quickly eat.”

“That’s right, let’s start eating.”

And then, the three of us started eating at a quick speed. Me and Iguru were eating at our usual pace, but surprisingly, Minarisu-san was also eating at the same speed as us although she is a girl. We ate all of the food placed on the table at almost the same time, it was as delicious as usual.

After the three of us completed eating dinner,

“Now then, I am going to back to my room to get some rest.”

Saying so, Mianrisu-san went back to her room. After that, I also parted after speaking to Iguru for some time.

And then, I headed over to Minarisu-san’s room to talk about the matter from dinner time.

“Minarisu-san, is it ok if I come in?”

“Yuma, huh? You can come in.”

After obtaining consent to enter her room, I went inside.

“Minarisu-san is quite quick as usual, but please hear me out. How were you able to understand that I had a special skill that helped me complete my tasks easily?”

When I asked that question to Minarisu-san, she grinned.

“Oh, then you possess one as I expected.”

s.h.i.+t, did you just bluff back then at the dinner table?

As expected of a Loli Baba who has lived for more than a 150 years. It goes to show you that i can’t be careless around her. Well~, even I would have expected for me to possess a skill……...

“Haa~, it’s certainly true that I do possess certain special skills.”

“Huu, it was as I thought, you also possess special skills.”

Also? Who else could there be that possessed special skills like me? There is no-one in the same situation as me after all. No, wait a moment, there is certainly one other person who is in the same situation as I am.

“Kuroda-san, was it?”

“Yes, he also possessed special skills that helped him out. If I remember correctly, he possessed the skill to predict the future.”

“Future Prediction?”

“That’s right, that guy said that his skill allowed him to at least look a few minutes into the future. Well~, there are other skills such as ‘intuition’ to help out in those situations as well, it was quite the powerful skill when he used them.”

“I see, that seems like an extremely convenient skill.”

I also just heard of skills such as ‘intuition’ for the first time as well.

Well, if I ever have the opportunity, it’s a skill that I must make sure to possess.

“Well then, will you tell me now what skills you possess, no~?”

“I'm sorry about this Minarisu-san, but that is impossible.”

“Well~, that’s what I thought.”

Oh, she seems to have to taken it quite lightly, or that’s what I thought,

“What is it, ja? Even if I were to forcibly tell you, then you wouldn’t provide me with the proper names of the skills, or you would tell me something different completely. Well, even I wouldn’t tell the contents or descriptions of my skills to someone that I couldn’t trust completely. If you were to tell me the contents of your skills so easily, then my senses toward you would have definitely been a lie.”

“Is that so? I can rest easy then. Then, since it’s already quite late, I won’t bother you for much longer with my doubts, i’ll take my leave now.”

At the end, I secretly used my skills to check Mianrisu-san before I left the room.

After leaving, I returned to my room as usual and lied down on my bed.

“Haa, i'm so tired~.”

As usual, I don’t feel tired physically, but I feel tired mentally from the headache.

But,

“As I thought, it’s still impossible.”

Although I secretly used ‘Appraisal’ before I left the room, I was still unable to confirm Minarisu-san’s status.

Well, I guess I still have a long way to go. I'm going to do my best to raise my level quickly tomorrow as well.
