"--Maybe it's a unique link for Malo."

The race is over, that night. When I got home, I was talking to my master on the phone.

The topic was winning the race safely and the thanks. And the new power Eliza woke up with... her own skills.

A newly engraved unknown skill field in the status of the card that is neither innate nor acquired. I asked my master if he knew anything about this.

Of course, when it comes to the ability of My Fair Lady, lie down.

I only know that ability with my senses, but apparently I knew that I could temporarily copy the acquired abilities of my enemies and allies.

A copy of a skill is a foul play only permitted by the Lord of the Labyrinth, the Lord of the Special Labyrinth.

No matter how much I was a master, it wasn't so easy to talk.

The Master also seemed to be curious about the content of his abilities, but he didn't step deep into it, and even with me it was helpful.

That's what the master said when he heard my story.

"Unique link..."

The master's words were rebelled in his head.

Unique link... a kind of extreme link that is ahead of the adventurer's attributes.

The only way to master it is to use an attribute card that suits you, and most people who are professionals say that they have not learned it.

I can't believe I've been able to use such a link for less than a year as an adventurer...

"Isn't that Eliza's skill already on the card?

"Yes, after the battle, it was gone when I cut the link."

That's what I saw on Eliza's card. There was no name for the new skill that was supposed to be gained.

At the same time, the disappearing Absolute Obedience and the Skill of Holding Water in the Spyglass returned to the Acquired Mastery.

"So I stopped by the labyrinth on my way home and tried connecting the links again, and they showed up."

"You don't show up or show up... It doesn't feel stable....."

On my way home, I glanced at Eliza's card casually on the train and noticed that my unique skills had disappeared. I rushed to the nearby labyrinth and made various attempts to recreate my unique skills.

What I found out was that only when I was synchronizing with Eliza did some acquired skills rarely disappear and change to a unique skill.

"I wonder if it means waking up. Either way, it should be seen that appearing only during the link is influenced by the attributes of the maro."

Wake up... Is it possible that the unique link that is beginning to germinate in me has temporarily taken shape in reaction to Eliza's high qualities?

"And Eliza grew faster than any other card in Malo."

Ah, yes.

"Maybe she's a gifted girl...."

"Gifted...?

"It seems to be extremely rare. Strangely, you can acquire skills faster or have cards that are stronger than your combat abilities and skills. He's a genius in cards, so to speak. That's a gift from the Labyrinth. It's called a gifted card.... well, it sounds like unfounded rumors."

Hee ~

Gifted, huh? That's what Eliza would call a gifted person with a genius in a certain field.

Regarding the unique link, considering that there is no indication that even fine dust can be activated in lotus flowers and yuki, which are as deep as Eliza, I think the cause is in Eliza's side rather than in my talent.

"... by the way, I think I got a lot of carbuncle garnets during the race, but what do you do about it?

"Eh...?... I'm going to cash it out or give it to my mother or sister."

"Hmm... I see."

"Why do you ask me that?

"No? Nothing in particular.... I was just wondering if I was going to give Mr. Obe a present."

"No, no, no, no. Why is there a night out there?"

When I answered in a hurry, Master made a groaning voice.

"What? But you're going on a movie date next time, right?

"No, it doesn't feel like a date. I just plan on going to see a movie on a day when I'm usually free."

"Ahahah, well, let's just say that.... well, I'll try to find out what it's all about."

"Yes, yes... thank you very much."

"Whatever... Congratulations on winning, Malo. I'll see you later."

Yes, see you later.

The sound of thuds and mainly the end of the call.

Phew ~......

I left myself in my bed.

After all, Master didn't know about his own skills...

But a unique link, huh?

If this were my unique link, would my ability be 'Link to add unique skills to cards'?

... that somehow felt different.

I'm sure the inherent skill itself is a system that comes with every card.

So, just like innate skills, they are arranged as columns.

Then, it can be thought of as a skill that has grown the card.

So, is my unique link 'a link that makes it easier for cards to wake up to their own skills'?

... it feels subtly different, but it feels like it has a direction.

My Master originally told me that my card was growing fast, and my unique link might be the type to help my card grow.

... no, I'm sure it is.

Specialize in card development. That's my qualities and strengths as an adventurer.

I finally saw a way to be an adventurer, and I held my fist tightly.

----Two days later.

I was on my way to the largest pool in the city.

Today was the day of the pool, as promised on the day of the closing ceremony.

"But I'm glad you finished Kitagawa earlier than planned."

Shinto told me that when I was changing into a swimsuit in the dressing room.

"When Kitagawa suddenly asked me if I could go to the pool because I had a race job in Moncolo, I thought that the pool promise had been completely fulfilled."

"I'm sorry. Suddenly the offer came. Come on. But you've done it by pool day, haven't you?

I said that to Shinto.

"That's strange. We're going to have a weekly race, and we're going to score in 24 hours."

Such a cliché was heard from the other side of Shinto.

I sighed and turned my neck towards you.

"... why is Ono here?"

"Do you think Master is cold? Having a lovely apprentice and going to the pool with a girl....."

"What a lovely disciple."

As you push into Ono, who imitates crying... you see the Shinto with a horizontal view.

Then he put his hands together with "bad".

"No, I think I heard something about us going to the pool somewhere. I couldn't say no."

No, well, it's fine.

I don't owe Ono anything, and I don't really hate it.

However, when I went to the rendezvous place that day, this man stood there as a matter of course, so I just wanted to penetrate a little bit.

"That's right, don't worry about the boredom, let's have fun today! This is a rare opportunity!

However, I was somehow irritated, so I kicked Ono's ass with Shinto and left the dressing room.

Going out to the pool, the pool was quite crowded with visitors.

The swimming pool itself was quite large, with over a dozen kinds of swimming pools just overlooking the wave pool, the flowing pool, the water slider, etc. There were also large entertainment pools that could be used for shows, but it still seemed that there were so many visitors that it felt a little narrow.

"Uhhh, I'm going to take great care of each other. Mm... F Discovery"

"There's a lot of water sliders lined up. That looks like we'll be able to play a lot further. Oh, G Discovery"

"It's not G, it's H.... You should enjoy the waves and the flowing pool until the crowd is cleared up somewhat."

Like that, she waited for the girls while watching her swimsuit sisters.

"Thank you for waiting!"

Finally, the moment has come to wait.

We all look back vigorously at the same time.

Ooh!

That's how I cheered and applauded.

Mr. Shinomiya's swimsuit was a black cross holter bikini, a type of design that could only be worn by someone with a body line.

That's what I call a readership model... if you look at it like this, you'll see that the style is really good.

A fairly sized valley of breasts and a slightly stretched white leg on the constricted waist are all dazzling.

Sometimes I use ponytail to tie my hair in a low position, and it was kind of an active atmosphere.

Mr. Beef Kura, standing next to him, said this was a white and black striped tankini, a type of swimsuit that hides his body shape.

The top is a long tank-top shape that completely conceals the valley and waist of its frivolous chest. The paleo is also wrapped around the bottom, and even the line of the thighs is thoroughly hidden.

... perhaps you're worried that your body isn't as thin as Mr. Shinomiya's?

It was a choice that would allow me to ask about Mr. Ushikura's secret complex.

However, in her honor, Mr. Ox Kura is never fat.

Many women with large breasts have a body shape that cannot be deceived by the word "pussy," but Mr. Beef Kura is not fat compared to his daughter of the same age.

Rather, considering the size of the chest, it can be said to be quite thin.

Her complex probably continued to be next to Mr. Shinomiya, who is in the ideal shape of a girl.

So don't be shy and wear a bold bikini...!

That's what I cried out of my heart.

... and the other one. I turned to the third person.

There was a man in a white bikini eye patch.

Not as voluminous as Mr. Ushikura's, but the F or G is likely to have a thick chest, slightly cracked waist vertically, sluggishly stretching thighs....

Contrasting tan skin that burns in the sun and provocative swimsuits that don't try to hide its sensual body.

Hmm, this is just too erotic... Looks like there's only one erotic character in Lanove's world.

I couldn't help but swallow the cockroach and spit.

If you do such a reaction here, it's too obvious.

But next to me, I heard a crackle and spit.

Unlike me, who had some immunity with cards, she couldn't stand it.

Seeing the reaction of such a male team, Mr. Shinomiya sighed and Mr. Beef Kura smiled bitterly.

"Look, that's why I told you, right? That swimsuit is just too stimulating."

"Really? Nothing normal?

That's what I'm interested in, Mr. Kazu.

Even such careless manners now looked erotic.

Master, Nice.

You always invited me, Mr. Ichi.

Ono and Shinto whisper secretly to me.

I invited Mr. Ichi, who wasn't supposed to come, to tell me why he was here.

When I met her on a dog walk earlier, I had a contract to rent a card for a fee.

As a basic content, the rental fee was 50,000 yen per month for up to two sheets, and in case of loss, it was to be compensated at the market price, and 500,000 yen was first deposited as collateral.

This is based on a rental contract in the university's adventurer circle, but unlike the university, there is a certain amount of collateral and no mentoring system.

The mentoring system is a system in which the landlord, senpai, takes some of the breakthrough rewards instead of providing guidance (and monitoring). It has the advantages and disadvantages of being guided by senpai and not being able to dive into the labyrinth in the unlikely event that senpai is not present.

There are also problems with this mentoring system, such as the existence of a vicious circle in which new entrants abuse the fact that they cannot dive into the labyrinth on their own to increase rental fees and soak in debt, but basically it is an irregular account measure, and there are many advantages.

Therefore, we talked about making the quality of the cards higher than that of the university so that I could not be a mentor, and depositing 500,000 as collateral to prevent theft.

It should be noted that the contract content was determined by the line "In case of a loss, give it back with a body", as one of the compensation methods when the card was lost.

... well, that's why we talked about the contents of the contract safely on the spot, but the problem was "when do I give you the card?"

I was so busy this summer that I didn't have much chance to give her a card, so I decided to invite her to the pool appointment today.

Next time I'm going to the pool with Mr. Shinomiya and Shinto, why don't you join me? and.

And one nodded, and the other members were happy to understand, so there was one here today.

Unfortunately, let's say it was a fine play.

"Well, where do we go first?

I looked out at the pool and asked everyone.

In addition to the classic wave pool and flowing pool, there are four types of water sliders, a lake-sized swimming pool, a maze pool that mimics a submarine cave, an adventure pool inspired by pirate ships, and a hot water pool.

... but now looking out, the wave pool and the flowing pool were too narrow for people to swam together, and all four types of water sliders appeared to be lined up with serpents.

"The water slider won't be empty until noon... and I'm not going to line up in that line in the heat without immersing myself in the water ~"

"Me too."

"That said, swimming and hot water pools are also available from the beginning. It's a place to slowly pump when you're tired of playing."

Taking into account the opinions of the three women, the men summarize the story.

"That means a submarine cave or a pirate ship."

"Hmm, the pirates are pretty crowded, too.... it's going to be a pair admission, but it's better in the submarine cave first, right?

Well, I guess so.... how do you decide on a pair?

When I said that, Ono answered immediately.

"Besides, do you usually do junkets or something?

I think it's good.

Yeah, I agree.

I nodded deeply that it was Ono, and Shinto and I agreed.

In these times, it is bad luck to designate "everyone is good".

If each of the three can nominate a separate opponent, there is not much problem, but if the target is met, one woman will inevitably have a rash.

That way, all the women here will be confident in their appearance and will hurt the pride of the women who were not chosen for sure.

That is something that I absolutely want to avoid as a gentleman.

... it was in front of the building, and it was the true truth of the Pure Boys that if they were rejected by the girl of their choice, they would be sad.

----is.

"Oh, Atashi, I'd love to be with Kitagawa."

Huh!?

A violent earthquake broke out on the spot as a result of Mr. Ichi's remarks.

Not only Ono and Shinto, but even Yoshinomiya-san and Beef Kura looked a little surprised.

I didn't expect you to nominate me from a girl... I mean, uh, why me? But is it possible that Mr. Ichi is talking about me...?

And when my adolescence started to run wild.

"I wanted to talk to Kitagawa about the main purpose of the card rental. I want to finish early and play without worries."

Ah, that's what I mean...

My adolescence will extinguish the fire in an instant.

No, I'm not depressed. I'm Mr. Beef Kura. Yeah, really, I didn't think about ants at all.

When I was making an excuse with no one in my heart, Ono poked me in the side with his elbow.

"What do you mean," Master "or" card rental "?

"Hmm? One person wants to be an adventurer, so I just rent a card for a fee."

"Hee ~, if that's what you're starting to do, please let me know. What kind of card do you lend me? You want to lend me a C-Rank?

"I don't have enough C rank to lend it to you. Well... we'll see about that later."

"Later. Absolutely."

Ono fell back on this spot, blindfolding his eyes.

... I don't know, he's getting pretty tight, too. Looks like he's lurking in the labyrinth this summer vacation, and maybe in the new semester, maybe...

"Ah, isn't it nice to talk about it at lunch? Anyway, it's time to return the cards."

"Nh... well, that's also true."

When I said so, Mr. Ochi withdrew considerably.

Shinomiya-san seemed a little relieved to see it.

"Well, then, it's good to decide simply with Google Chokier, right?

"Ok"

We nodded and offered our fists.

And...

― ― ― After all, one of them

I smiled little bitterly as I walked along the cavernous waterway illuminated by fantastic lights on a rubber boat.

The one who didn't miss my little murmur raised his thin eyebrows, amazing.

"What? What? Are you dissatisfied with me?

"No, no, no, no disillusionment! It's an honor, yes!

When I explained in a hurry, Mr. Ichi snorted his nose as if it was clogging.

"... well, that's fine. That's what it is, isn't it? Kitagawa wanted to be with Ushikura?

"Eh!?... why?"

"'Cause Kitagawa loves boobs."

"Nh...!?

If so, don't be silly... How do you know that...!? A magic tool for reading minds!?

When I was stunned, Mr. Ichi looked at me with astonishing, pitiful eyes.

"No, you know exactly what I mean. I felt a flickering look when I was talking to Atashi. Conversely, I don't look at my boobs at all when I talk to my little boob girl... and I guess everyone in my class knows that, right?

"Seriously...."

Uhh... and die... I'm staring at my chest, and all the girls have found out. Aw! I don't want to go to the new semester school anymore...

I'm hung up on shame and self-hatred.

"Well, I don't mind telling you that, so you can see as much as you want."

"Eh!?

So, that means you can watch all you want!?

"That's why I didn't tell you to take a look."

Gwi, you can change the direction of your neck. Ugh, there's a strange noise coming from my neck right now...

"I don't care, but big daughters don't have to look too openly because it's a complex, right? I think it's typical of a cow warehouse."

"... yes. I remember the liver."

I sat down while sitting on the rubber boat.

I can't believe she found out about my gaze... Maybe that's why I don't have a passion for income and visibility? My ears hurt, but I'm glad to hear it here today.

From now on... you need to be careful... and improve your ability to see that you don't get caught.

"... by the way, I'd like to get down to business, but what kind of card will you lend me?

"Oh, yeah. I was wondering if this would be good."

And I took out a few cards from the card holder I was wearing on my waist.

"For now, I recommend this. Living Armor"

[Race] Living Armor

[Strength] 170

Innate Skills

Living Armor: The existence of a vengeful spirit in the knight's armor. It will not vanish unless it destroys the nucleus anywhere in the armor. Includes Abnormal Condition Resistance.

Armorization: Elementary class equipped skill. Possession of another card, or Master, adds up to a quarter of your combat power (if equipped to Master, you can share all combat power and skills).

Martial arts

Acquired Skill

· Void mind

Swordsmanship

Protect

"Having equipment-related skills makes me feel different. This living armor has a martial arts skill as well as a swordsmanship skill, so when it comes to battle, the master himself will be equipped with magic equipment."

"Heh... if you have a Gearing Skill, the Master himself will fight?

In addition to his thoughts, he was surprised to see a man who was willing to fight on his own.

"What a face. It looks like this. When I was in middle school, I was in the Kendo Department and it was my first time.

"Seriously!? Amazing....."

"Well, lately, I tend to skip dojos and stuff...."

"Hee ~... well, if that's what you're saying, living armor is more and more recommended. Fighting and Kendo experience make martial arts skills more useful. I'll put a magic sword on the service."

"Really? You're so fat."

When I took out the sacred silver dagger that I had doubled out of pure goodwill, Mr. Ichi closed his eyes for a while....

"... are you expecting a physical return?

"No, no, no, no! That's not what this is about! Pure goodwill!

Shake your head in a hurry and deny it.

However, even though it is said that a man who always looks at his tits is holding a letterhead (fact), it is not enough if he thinks that he is indebtedly looking for something in return for his body.

Then Kazuichi withdrew.

"Oh, really? I thought I'd let you touch my tits because I'm sorry."

"Eh...."

I accidentally sent a gaze to Mr. Ichi's chest.

There, the deflected swelling of the presumed F or G is perplexing.

"But if it's pure goodwill, it's the opposite. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

"Ah, yeah...."

"What? Is the tension down?

"Yeah? Nothing?

I shook my head with no expression.

The one who looks at me like that and giggles.

I finally realize that I was stuck there.

Damn it... you're licking me! Next time, I'll rub your boobs.

And while firmly determined, I issued the next card.

"The first one is confirmed by the living armor, and the rest is either a supporter or an attacker. As a candidate, I was wondering if I could get two of these."

That's what I gave you, unicorn and bicone cards.

Emphasize stability with unicorns that are good at healing and aiding, or compensate for the lack of attacking power of living armor with bicorns that are good at attacking and dysfunctional states...

This is no longer a matter of the adventurer's preference, so she should choose for herself.

... is in front of the building, and it was true that if I handed over the unicorn and was pushed back, "I can't ride this," there was nothing awkward about it.

Then Mr. One looked at the two cards...

"... maybe this is a litmus test strip for Kitagawa? Are you trying to get back at me?

"Hmm!? No, no, no! That's not what I meant! Really!"

I was in a hurry to deny Mr. Ichi's eyes.

If you think about it carefully, there are more ways to make girls choose unicorns and bicorns than to be sexually harassed. No matter what you think, you can only see if the other person has experienced it.

Of course, there was no such intention, but it was an act that could not be helped even if it seemed that way from the edge.

Kazuichan looked at me like that, but eventually he looked suspicious.

"Hmm... well, that's fine. I'll just say it's okay either way."

"Ah, I see...."

While stroking my chest down, I secretly think.

That's what it means to be okay, right?... honestly, I'm a little surprised.

"What? Is this a twin card?

One of them looked at me and pointed at two cards.

It was a Fenian and a Armenian card.

"Ah, this is a two-in-one card, and it's a two-in-one card. You can summon two cards in one summoning frame, and you can use special skills in simultaneous summoning."

Hee ~...

When I explained that, Kazuichi grabbed the Fenian and Menia cards and stared at them with interest.

Obviously, I put my hand on my jaw as if it were more interesting than when I was a unicorn or a bicorn.

Phenomena and Armenia cards were given to explain that they were honestly not very lending and that there were cards like this.

That's right, these two cards are precious two-in-one cards that sometimes have the funny skill of singing Grotti and are rare to lend.... but...

On the other hand, it was a fact that I had to tilt my neck if I had the chance to actually use these two cards.

Certainly, it's a lot of rare cards, but honestly, compared to my current members, it's undeniably weak.

Then, if it's enough to die as my girl card collection, I'd rather...

"... if you like it, do you want it with your living armor?

"Huh? But didn't you say you could rent up to two D-rank cards?

Indeed, the original story was that there were two D-rank cards to lend.

This is because you can only pay up to two pieces of rent stably with a one-star trespass reward.

Even if I knew him, no, because I knew him, I'm not going to forgive him for late rental.

There is courtesy in the intimacy. Because I knew her, I should have told her about the money, so I didn't want to lend her anything but what she could pay.

It's just...

"... it's a meaningless card without two cards, so you can rent one for yourself."

If we want to lend it, we may compromise a little.

Rather than die like this, using it during the rental will also lead to the growth of the card, and even if it is bought, it is not a bad story.

... for a moment, the word dragonnet passed my head, but you shook your head off.

----I kept the card with me, and I discussed and decided with Lotus.

"Nh...."

Kazuichi was worried with a lost or sorry face for a while, but eventually.

"... then, can I ask you to do that?

"Copy that... well, that's it. I'm glad you took care of it."

"Of course, I promise."

One nodded so strongly that she gently stroked three cards with her fingers.

Afterwards, it was just noon when they were competing to change the pairs and go around or who could get through the submarine cave first.

"That's how hungry I am. What do you do for lunch?

Kono replied when Shinto rubbed his stomach.

"I don't know, I split up between men and women and I jumped, and the guy who lost with a man bought it and bought lunch, and the girl who lost with a woman helped me with that, huh?

"I'm fine, but...."

While nodding, I looked at Shinto. Since Ono and I have money, we don't have much problem with lunch, but Shinto, who is busy playing tennis, doesn't have much money...

"Me too."

I thought, but besides my thoughts, Shinto nodded lightly. Do you have unexpected pocket money or a man's appearance?

Anyway, there was an agreement on the male side, so when I looked at the female side, there seemed to be no problem.

As a result, I split up between men and women and played junket....

Well, let's go, Mr. Shinomiya.

"Yeah."

Me and Mr. Shinomiya are going shopping.

"What do people want to eat?

"Eh ~, Shinto is Kebab and Aquarius, and Ono is eating too much rice balls, yakisoba, takoyaki and potato burgers..."

I read the paper with the request from everybody, and I made a mistake.

That fat guy, he knows I have the money, and I can't help it at times like this.

"I can't help it. I don't know how many times I have to go back and forth."

"That's right. I don't mind if Ono's later."

"Completely agree"

We nodded and walked side-by-side to the food court.

"Uhah, it's awesome to come up from the pool ~"

"Sure, my skin is getting dry already."

Looking up at the brilliant lighting of heaven, the two of us are stupid.

It's not even a few minutes since I got out of the pool, but my body was already drying out.

It was, in a sense, a great pool day, but the sun was just in the air.

"But that's it. By this time last year, I never imagined Maro coming to the pool like this."

"Indeed.... to me, the Shinomiya-san were perfectly tall flowers and people on the clouds."

"Pu, what is that?"

Shinomiya-san smiles at my words.

"No, no, seriously. I felt terrified of talking to the Shinomiya-san."

"Hmm, that's weird. Unlike department work and part-time work, we're all the same age, we're all students. They're in the same class."

"I don't know... that's what I think now, but it was different back then."

She nodded strangely to Shinomiya-san, who said that her head was inclined.

I realized there was no difference between classmates when I walked out of the world of school just for kids and went out into adult society just a little bit... but the difference between classmates at the time was very big for me.

Above all, the difference in appearance that could not be helped by effort was an absolute difference for me.

"... I see. I don't know, Sa."

That's how Mr. Shinomiya grabbed my hand.

To my surprise, she says with a playful smile.

"But right now, I'm lining up next to you, and that's all right.

"... I see."

We walked out with our hands tied.

The sky looked up as high as ever, and the refreshing wind stroked the skin.

Summer vacation is still the eighteenth day. Summer is still going on.
