Overlimit Skill Holder Vol 6 Chapter 2.2

Vol 6: Chapter 2 (2)

I didnt know how theOrb Destructionskill works. So I asked Kook-san to go with me to a store called Skill Destruction Shop, pretending to want to confirm how the skill works.

TheOrb Destructionskill is a unique characteristic, and it is necessary to notify the government about its acquisition and use. Although its rarity is lower than that ofOrb Detachment, it requires regulation.

That seems to be how it works. Is this enough?

Yes.

I was shown the process of destroying aPhysical Strength that Kook-san had. I am sure I will be able to do this withWorld Ruler.

Alright, then. Ill bring Lark with me.I said.

Hmm it somewhat feels like were in the way.

No, of course not. Ill be back as soon as its done.

Okay.

I said so to Kook-san and the others after returning to the inn, and headed for Larks room.

I cant tell them that I can learn skills, so I need to pretend to take Lark outside, just in case.

Lark, Im coming in

Upon entering her room, I saw Lark in her bed, dressed in casual clothes.

Wearing a shirt and trousers, similar to a man. Clothes which are easy to move in, remnants of her sky pirate days.

Lark will no longer have to go out onto the battlefield in the future. She should be able to live peacefully in the town. But we dont have to talk about it just yet.

Your hair is messy.I said.

Ah

Larks expression was dark, perhaps because she was nervous about destroying the skill orb.

However when her health is restored, her feelings will surely change.

I used a comb to straighten Larks hair. Comb her long hair and bundle it into one. Even when we were in the minewhen we had poor meals day after day, Larks hair was still beautiful, but now it is dry and dull, and I cant feel any vitality in them.

(But that too will soon return to normal.)

After I tied her hair with a hair tie, it seemed somewhat kempt.

Sorry. I never cared about my hair. That Riviera-san who came to treat me, randomly told me that dressing up and hairstyle is the life of a woman.

Lark was about to fall when she tried to get out of bed. I caught and supported her.

Lark, please be patient until your eyesight returns.

H-Hey! Little brother!?

I lifted Lark up with both armsin a princess carry.

Idiot, stop this. Its embarrassing.

You cant see, right? Then theres nothing to be embarrassed about.

Thats not the problem!

Lark complained, but she didnt even have the power to escape from my arms.

Kook-san and the others stared in wonder as we entered the cafeteria.

Fuh How nice. When you look at her like this, you realize that the young miss is also just a maiden.

Scout, I will remember you said that!Lark said.

So the young miss has recovered enough to say all that

We left the inn while being teased by whistlings and applause.

Lark. Lets go.

There is no need to go to the store that destroys skill orb. And it would be a problem if the store owner had something likeOrb-See. I cautiously headed to the hill.

Probably because I was carrying her, I saw smiles on Larks face. But I proceeded forward without saying anything about it.

Lark was so light that I didnt even have to useSupport Magicto carry her. Which saddened me a little.

The hill was within the town, but it was a place overlooking the town and there was nothing special about it. Hardly anyone visited the hill during daytime, so I took Lark to the grassland with a good view. You can see a small hill and a lighthouse on a lone cape.

The wind blew through, carrying the scent of grass. I sat her down on the grass.

Whats this place? It feels grassy. What are you doing?

Im going to tell you something I havent told you yetI said

I felt Larks spine stretch a little when I said that.

But lets heal your body first. Ill putShadow Kingback inside..

O-Ok

I took out the 6-star skill orb out of the leather bag and pressed it against both of Larks hands.

I am also learning theOrb Attachment/Detachmentskill which can insert skill orb into others.

Nn?A-Aaaaaaaaah!!

The skill orb was sucked into Larks body. At the same time, her eyes, which have lost their color, regained the light.

I can see.

She looked around. Below was the town of Zackerhafen. And in the distance was a harbor with ocean waves, and black-tailed gulls flying freely.

Little brother No, Reiji.

Yes.

Did you not think that I would use this power to escape if the skill orb was returned to me?

Nope. I did not.

Why? You know that I wantedShadow Kingbadly. For that reason, I might even tell one or two lies

I dont think so. You wouldnt do that.

Why

Because you are you.

Because you havent changed since our time in the mine. You are my sister Lark.

The amethyst-like violet eyes that were staring at me turned away.

I can never win against you, little brother. Ah no, I mean, Reiji

You can call me little brother. I am always your brother.

Larks ears turned bright red. Rising heart rate, rising body temperature World Ruler-sama, I can see all that without you telling me it.

Then, Ill erase the skill now

Ok.

This time, firmly locking eyes with me, Lark replied as if it wasnt a big deal at all.

She then closed her eyes.

Did she make her decision so easily?

To erase the skill orb that she wanted so badly.

Even though I did not explain how I was going to erase the skill.

Does she trust me so completely that she leaves everything in my hands?

As I held Larks hand and closed my eyes, I saw an intense light in her body. This was probably the skill. It had a stiff feel at first, but when I put my strength into it, it started to crack and then shattered like a glassparticles of light floated in the darkness and melted away.

Its done.

I opened my eyes and saw Lark who had opened her eyes slightly.

Does she feel that the skill has been lost?

How are your eyes?

I can see. And I dont feel sick

As the wind blew, Larks long hair fluttered in the gust. She turned her gaze to the town and to the sea. She seemed like wanting to say something, but she didnt say it. So I decided not to ask either.

As the Sage said, her vitality has returned. Of course, she is still far from perfectly healthy, but she can gradually recover from this point on. At least she will no longer be bedridden.

Lark. I have things to tell you. Lets stay here for a while.

Ill listen. I have a lot of time right now.

While sitting next to Lark, I told her everything that had happened so far.

Lark didnt seem particularly surprised or emotional when she heard the secrets of my birth and the secrets of my skill.

After listening to my story till the end, she reached for my head.

And she patted my head.

You did your best, little brother.

Larks face, as she said that line, was the same as I remembered back in the mine.
