C55: New Request

 

“I’m sorry.”

“…………”

I’m currently on my knees in Lucia’s room. The reason for this, of course, is that I have been gazing at Lucia’s nice tits.

Lucia is silently looking down at me……and I’m scared. I wonder if she will step on me.

“Enough……look up.”

“Yes……”

“Pfft.”

When I looked up, a blushing Lucia started to laugh.

I wondered, was the cloth stuffed into my nose to stop the bleeding so funny? It’s a nosebleed that came out from a direct hit from Lucia’s bag…….

I got up and apologized to Lucia again.

“I’m sorry. I can’t believe I just walked into a woman’s room without knocking.”

“…..Enough. And forget about what you just saw.”

“……………………Oh.”

I answered in a super small voice.

It’s not like my brain can conveniently forget about it tomorrow. It’s been etched into my brain cells to the level of a dream.

“I see. Apparently, stimulation is all that is needed.”

“I’m sorry.”

When Lucia saw the look on my face, she started to look murderous, so I quickly bowed my head.

It’s hard to forget, but I’ll try not to let it show on my face. Then, perhaps embarrassed, Lucia changed the subject.

“By the way, you wanted to see me, didn’t you?”

“Hmm, yeah. I need to borrow your gauntlets. I’d like to examine them.”

“Gauntlets? Oh, your weapon. I haven’t finished cleaning them yet.”

“No, it won’t take long.”

I took the gauntlets from Lucia, equipped them, grabbed the horseshoe, and activated Rust Removal.

As expected, the……gauntlets did not rust, only the horseshoes did.

“Verification complete. Apparently, my equipment doesn’t rust.”

“Oh, so you’re testing your cheats.”

“Yeah. I wanted to check the effects of Rust Removal.”

I say as I take off my gauntlet and hand it to Lucia, she tells me.

“Cheats basically ignore the laws of physics. As you verified, there are many cases where things that are supposed to rust don’t rust, and things that can’t be fixed are fixed. That’s what your cheat does, too.”

“Wow……is convenient.”

“That’s why it’s called ‘unreasonable power’.”

And I’ve got three cheats.

I’m not sure if it’s because of the influence of transmigration……but this kind of power is usually obtained by the protagonist’s in novels. Why is it given to a dull teacher like me?

I’m sure there will be more cheats.

“……Anyway, I have to wait and see how long it takes to recover the usage and also verify Connection.”

“Oh, we’re doing that here?”

“Since we’re here, I’d like to hear Lucia’s opinion.”

“No problem. I was just going to take a break.”

“Okay. Come out……Holacty.”

I activated my stealth camouflage and called for the mecha owl that was parked on my shoulder.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The next item to be tested was Connection. It seems that this cheat can send instructions to machines. I used it to open the door where the War Maiden’s Legacy was stored, but I was so absorbed at the time that I don’t remember much about it.

I can only use it once, and I can’t use it on Brunnhilde to test it. By process of elimination, I had no choice but to try it on Holacty. It’s a little heartbreaking, but bear with me.

“Holacty……Connection.”

I moved the mecha owl to my left arm and put my hand on its head to activate the cheat. Holacty’s eyes flickered.

“Uh, well………what?”

The moment I took my hand away to command something, my eyes stopped blinking.

What? Don’t tell me I have to touch……all the time? I tried to check, but it wouldn’t go off. The number of times I’ve used it is only one, and I’ll have to wait until I recover.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know…….”

Lucia is tilting her head, too.

I mean, it probably doesn’t make sense to use it on Holacty. Connection is probably the ability to access locked doors or locked data files.

If I could use it to command a machine to delete all the programs installed by the Kingdom of Ostrode and reboot it, then maybe Alvito would change her mind……..But that would require direct contact with Alvito.

“Well, that’s it for today. Now I just need to verify the recovery time for the number of uses.”

“Your cheats are really strange.”

“Haha, I think so too.”

Now, I’d better go back to my room and get some rest.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

In the evening Kutone came back with a beaming face.

In her hands, she holds a cane tightly and a leather bag with a book in it. Silica is also in a good mood——Oh, there’s sauce on Silica’s mouth.

Me and Lucia greeted Kutone in the girls room.

““Welcome back, Kutone.””

“I’m home—–I was leaving after retrieving my wand when I ran into a wife who just gave birth. I gave her a ride home and ended up arriving at this hour.”

“————”

“————”

You don’t have to lie to us…

“I’m sorry———I was at the bookstore.”

“You don’t have to lie to me, you know.”

“Ugh——because I thought Lucia would be upset.”

“Oh dear, I’m not that unreasonable. And the reason you went to the bookstore was so that Sage could study magic, wasn’t it?”

“———Well, yeah, I guess so.”

I stared at the leather bag she was holding as we were talking and I wanted to be a little mean.

“Holacty, scan Kutone’s leather bag, displaying the title of the book inside.”

“Geez! Please, stop!”

“———“

“———This is…”

Kutone shields her leather bag, but it’s too late. The band on my right hand shows a list of book titles.

There were many books there with slightly erotic titles. In addition to the BL books———there was one book called “The Art of Magic by System, Lightning Division”.

“Kutone, you——”

“As expected…..”

“Unh-unh-unh! Sage’s dirty! You’re a demon! A pervert peeking into a maiden’s property!”

“I’m back.”

“Brünnhilde!”

Whether the timing was good or bad, Kutone hugged Brünnhilde when she came back and buried her face in her chest. Brünnhilde pushed Kutone away.

“Please step away from me, I’ll get dirty.”

“That’s terrible! There is no one on my side here!”

◇◇◇◇◇◇

After dinner, we had free time.

Brünnhilde was nudging Silica who was pawing at her, Kutone had reopened the door and started reading an erotic book, and Lucia was sitting by the window sipping wine and enjoying the night view.

I thought about going to a brothel, but I had to verify the recovery time of the cheat, so I held back. I checked my status every hour, but there was no sign of recovery.

The cheat that can be used multiple times, like——“Rust Removal,” doesn’t recover either, although the usual rule is that I have to wait 24 hours. Maybe they don’t recover one every few hours, but three at once.

Maybe it’s because all 3 are recovering at once that it takes longer. However, I’m going to bed early because we have another request tomorrow.

The next day when I woke up, the cheat hadn’t recovered. I’m pretty sure I’ll recover around mid-afternoon today.

After breakfast, I greeted Stallion, who was in a good mood after her massage and hoof trimming, and headed to the Adventurer’s Guild. As I peeked at the clan-specific request board, I heard Lucia say,

“Look for a request we can accept while heading to the Kingdom of Fauve. Requests must be paid for in advance and can be accepted by any F-grade clan.”

“If they don’t pay in advance, we’ll have to go back.”

To get to the territory of the Kingdom of Fauve, we had to cross several towns and the Sea of Trees. It would be a long journey and cost a lot of money. We’ll have to choose carefully.

“Oh, how about this? A carriage escort for the Hippopotamus Trading Company. The destination is the Fauve Kingdom’s territory, the Ozoso city. The reward is eight gold coins in advance, and the request grade is F.”

“Ozoso? Hmm…”

“Not good?”

“The inhabitants of Ozoso are all beasts, and there is a lot of discrimination against humans. You might have a bad experience there.”

“I’ve heard that before——“

Both Kutone and Lucia are a little reluctant but there aren’t any other requests we can accept.

“It’s the only way. All right, guys?”

“——Okay. Mr. Sage.”

“I don’t mind.”

“I’ll leave it to you, sensei.”

So, our next request is to escort a trading company.

We headed to the Ozoso city in the territory of the Fauve Kingdom. After processing the request at the reception, I decided to head to the merchant association where the client was waiting.

“After killing goblins, you’re now guarding a merchant association. Sounds like an adventurer.”

“Well, I’m an adventurer.”

“Yeah. But it’s a life I never thought I’d have when I was in the Order.”

I’m heading to the Fauve Kingdom to find the ring bearer who looks like Mikazuki. That was my goal, and Ozoso city was just a passing point, or so I thought.

I had no idea at the time that there was a “war maiden” sleeping in Ozoso city.
