Day 71 Nighttime, New Murimuri Castle

Im so tired, mainly emotionally! Yeah, it can be said that only a highschool boy being energetic could be a big problem. Armored Pres-san and company dressed up an unconscious naked girl and butt-naked tanuki and carried them away. When they come back well have to discuss with Dancing Girl how things are going to be from now on.

Dancing Girl has been freed only recently so she might as well spend some time having fun while considering the future at ease, but considering that she possesses power on par with Dungeon Emperor Class, I have the responsibility to make sure if its really alright to set her free, but whats even more important I have to burn the sight of her enthralling figure into my eyes.

At the moment, I might be able to force Taming on her, but thats something that shouldnt be done. After all, she just got her freedom. She can now live as she pleases without taking unpleasant orders from anyone. Thats why she should be given true freedom without being bound by anyone.

Now, I avoided looking at it all this time, I mean, looking at it pisses me off? Not wanting to see it is actually a big part of it? Or rather, since seeing it still wont explain anything I seriously dont want to see it. And whats more important, getting used to seeing it will lead to getting deceived. If one gets used to it, they will stop sensing how out of place it is.

In fact, the classmates are checking their Status daily, seeing it as something completely ordinary. Coming from a world that had no such thing, they now lost any feeling of discomfort towards such an unnatural thing. And thats why the people of this world, who were born with Status, dont doubt it, they trust it fully and unconditionally.

I went up two levels after all. Despite the slow speed at which I gain levels, I went up two at once. Well, even if they are just low-level middle-aged men, 40,000 of them couldve given a considerable amount of EXP, but even the Great Dungeon only gave me six levels? And the last time I checked my status was before I started digging the mine. We have beaten quite a few dungeons since then, but it didnt give me even one level.

This time I got two levels at once despite not gaining any levels for so long. Of course there is a chance that I had exp points accumulated from earlier. Even so, the way in which levels rise feels strange. Earlier I was ignoring it, reasoning that 10th or 5th levels take a while, but this time I went from 21 to 23 so it should have nothing to do with that. Is there an issue with Status itself, or is something up with only my Status? There are so many suspicious points that Im not even sure. But now I managed to narrow it down. There is only one thing that can be causing this.

I didnt check it for a long time, so it mustve failed to process everything. The precision of Evil Hands right now was noticeably too high.

As I thought From everyones point of view my Status was Lv 21, even Reroreroing old man said so. I always felt that my level had risen, but I never checked it. Which led to everyone saying that my level is 21, regardless if they used Appraisal or Insight, in other words, my status alone doesnt update until I check it.

Siiigh, until now my Status was acting pretty weird, with my skills, magic, and equipment lying to me, so I got a bit suspicious and it turned out exactly as I thought. My Status is being overwritten. It gets rewritten at the moment I check it myself, so it ends up getting out of sync. Thats why I was waiting for it to go off-sync. And double up is the most likely timing for that. And its just as I thought.

Then, the only one capable of such a thing has to be Apex Thinking-san. Its probably hiding my skills by disguising them in order to restrain my strength. In fact, when I noticed Atomic Manipulation I lost consciousness and had a nosebleed which refused to stop, so it was really dangerous.

My body is already being destroyed, unable to keep up with the power of the skills far surpassing my limits. And its going to get even worse. Thats why it was hiding them from me. But the fight today was way too crazy, so it unleashed hidden abilities. Thats why I was able to jump precisely in front of the enemies that were 50 meters away with Teleportation and mow them down with Kyojitsu. And since I also tore muscles in my whole body, broke numerous bones, and began bleeding all over, barely not losing consciousness, the output clearly exceeded my capacity. Thats why those abilities were hidden and restrained.

But by what means Apex Thinking-san is able to do such a thing?

In the first place, the Thinking-type skills like Quick Thinking Lv 1 or Parallel Thinking that became the foundation for Apex Thinking-san dont exist?

If I were to process the enormous, far surpassing my limit, volume of information associated with my skills, my brain (InT) would be destroyed. And Apex Thinking-san must be the skill created for the sake of providing calculation and operational capacity required to isolate and process that excessive information. Then who was it who created it, and who is feeding, receiving, and operating information to and from Apex Thinking-san?

Hey, ReportInformConsult-san, who havent Reported, Informed, or Consulted me even once, and instead moving behind my back, processing massive amounts of information, dont you have something to tell me~?

ReportInformConsult Lv 9 Apex Thinking Lv 7Wisdom Lv 1 (New?)

Here it is. As expected, its going to hide until I expose it, huh?

But Wisdom, huh. Intelligence and knowledge have a complex relationship. Knowledge (Data) and intelligence (Process). Knowledge alone is just like having a giant encyclopedia with no means to use or apply information within, and having Intelligence but without any information also bears no meaning. Its like having a super fast calculator but with only the zero button. Only coupled together knowledge and Intelligence gain meaning, and thats Wisdom-san. AI-equipped supercomputer-like deluxe skill-san was hiding and helping me out. It kept itself concealed because it must be too dangerous for me to use it. But if I dont use it, this is the limit of what I can do with my Abilities (skills). Its much more dangerous to have my skills continue to grow stronger in this uncontrollable state. While Wisdom might fry my brain or lead to some sort of self-destruction, the damage will be limited to myself, but if active skills were to go out of control it could endanger everyone around me. Although Im not sure how Id feel if I regenerated even after getting my brain fried? But it has to be done.

Or rather, for goodness sake, stop hiding! Well, Im getting helped with you hiding, so I cant really complain. I mean, its bizarre that Im still alive with my Status, so Im sure there is something else hiding beside Wisdom, but I cant spot it yet. And the foundation of everything must be Siiiiigh.

The only new skill is Random Attack Lv 3 (New 2Up) which should be that mysterious attack. It finally turned into a skill in that inexplicable and uncontrollable state. And since it became a skill, it is going to get even stronger and harder to use as its level rises. And even though I was unable to control it because of Magic Wrapping leading to it becoming a skill in the form of Random Attack, that Random Attack itself is now also can be wrapped with Magic Wrapping leading to even more chaos. Well, since Wisdom-san finally revealed itself, so I might as well push the entire problem onto it.

In fact, drawn-out combat turned out to be way more dangerous than I expected. At the moment, there seems to be no other choice but to dive into dungeons, after I get back to the Frontier, and gather up ViT equipment? My body is getting destroyed because my ViT cant keep up with the power of the skills. Well, usually, Physical Enhancement would be used for that, but in my case the advanced version of Physical Enhancement-Magic Wrapping is the very thing that its causing the damage, so it wont work. Or rather, what kind of destructive power it has if even with my stats buffed by Magic Wrapping and even wrapped in Regeneration Im still crumbling!? You are my skill, so destroy enemies instead of me!

Well, this is it for now, so I can think about the rest later, or rather, even if I think about it now I wont understand it anyway, and Im pretty tired, but I still have to deal with a mountain of issues piled up on top of each other like some sort of a jenga, which is locked in a miraculous balance, but keeps getting more and more tiles thrown on top? Isnt this just a punishment game? But the Church is crazy. Since they released that Dancing Girl, despite not having full control over her, does that mean that even if they ended up attacked by her they could somehow handle it? Does it mean that they still have something else? Moreover, the danger will remain if we dont destroy all of the dungeons in the Frontier, but since they keep popping up like mushrooms in the Frontier, that artificial overflow technique is a real pain.

But when the Geeks and Idiots come back they might be able to take care of two dungeons even at the Frontier. Even the Frontier Army, if the dungeon is only of medium depth, they should be able to handle one. And then there are Armored Pres-san and Slime-san, plus if I can do something about one too, we might be able to suppress six dungeons. Aah, but the Frontiers dungeons are on another level. This time we somehow managed because it were the outside dungeons. And even so, the closest 5th one survived Fake Dungeons explosion, collapse, and Master Golems crushing attack, and reached all the way to Murimuri Castle. In merely one battle the Fake Dungeon and Murimuri Castle, that I thought to be perfect, had fallen.

It cant be helped since I was drawing them in, but exploding middle-aged men and Rise from the Dead and the Dancing Girl were too dangerous. Well, since I was drawing them in I also got to rip them off and rake huge profits. Were I to melt down the gold coins I got from the Confederation and the Theocracy Id be able to build a modest golden palace, I also got tons of goods and equipment, although the latter is kind of shabby, so Ill probably have to pawn it off? But even if I build a golden house, gold is soft, so the Bitches might cause a collapse by biting at it. Its not like there is anything better to do in this world? I mean, even the Capital had no book stores

The Capital even had eels and I also was able to buy up a large quantity of red sake, volatile oil was useful, but I cant use it in cooking? And in terms of development the Frontier was ahead. Clothes, furniture, weapons, all were shabby, so there arent many results. Rather, its puzzling why they had so many morning stars, and sickle and chains, but since they have none left it doesnt really matter. I mean, the girls bought all of them? All of them have My Morning Star in the equipment now, but just what are they trying to do?

Skill Wisdom must be automatically working while Im thinking all of this, but unless I test it, I wont know the limit, thats why lets manually activate Wisdom and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

WHAT?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS?
