The Black Wolf Fang was brittle after losing the captain.

When I stepped down to the fort,

"- You've taken the head of the thief! Raise the winner. Wow!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... whoa!

With the decree of the Bearded Knight, the knights of the fort protrude their weapons into heaven and raise their victory.

The mercenaries, who were trying to attach themselves to the fort in desperate shape, fled with us.

arrows and magic from the fortress pouring behind it.

"Well done, Edgar! But don't be so impotent anymore, okay?

"Hey!"

That's what Mother Julia says and goes into the spell chant as she hugs me.

"Bo (Flame Yo), Bo, Bo (All Te), Bo, Bo (Burning Pay U), λ, λ (Whirlwind Totalized SE) -" Flame Storm (Firestorm) "Ah!

Out, Flame Storm!

I no longer need to keep my MP warm, and nothing interferes with chanting.

That's an accurate situation decision.

The Firestorm was hitting a leading group of escaping mercenaries.

Mercenaries plunge into mayhem in a flaming storm that suddenly erupted before they escaped.

"- You said you wouldn't let one soldier get away with it, right?

Say it and grin at your mother.

Wow, I'm scared.

"- My wife took over the head of the thief! Ladies and gentlemen of Fort Lanzrack, this is the showcase of the knight's will! General, assault. Nice!

Soon his father has opened the gates of the fort, leading a horseback riding unit into a wasting assault on the wrecking mercenaries.

There is no resistance, and the mercenaries are taken over.

Even so, the mercenaries are brittle, but perhaps Gores was putting the mercenaries together with their abilities and fears.

Isn't that what happens when a looting mercenary regiment, no matter how strong they are, only thinks about their own interests, strikes at the fort?

As you can see from earlier battles, attacking a fort really takes a certain sacrifice.

Whatever the regular army is, it's a little hard to think that the mercenaries for looting will come attached to the walls of the castle ready to sacrifice themselves.

It would be reasonable to assume that Gores, who was subjected to the Curse of the Evil God, was tied up with fear.

But Gores is dead.

Nothing is tying the mercenaries to the battlefield anymore.

That's decided to escape.

There are no mercenaries who want to serve as lords in this situation.

Fathers The knights of the fort mow the ears of wheat easily, snapping the necks of the mercenaries.

- The battle is over.

"... that? Edgar?"

Julia, your mother's voice is far away.

"Wow. He's still a baby."

My voice went a long way again.

"Ma'am, it was a brilliant fight."

It's dark and invisible, but it looks like a knight with a beard.

My father's out there hunting leftovers, so I guess the Bearded Knight is entrusted with the command of the fort.

... I'd like to [appraise] this guy too... you're sleepy.

"- And your two children, too, right? If you look at your sleep like this, it would be a lie to be active when you were a god."

...... hmm? Sleepy......? Why are you "sleepy"?

I have [difficulty] skills that the goddess gave me...

"Some of the knights who watched the battle up close said it was rude to call Lord Edgar a baby or something, and that it was a muscle to call you" Hernford, "etc.

Akan, I can't think of anything else.

"... Baby... Lett, I don't know... maybe there's a name..."

My consciousness drops.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When I realized, I was in a familiar space.

Space that wants Marquecto under your eyes, you know?

Yes, that's where I met the goddess when I was to be stabbed by a passageway and reincarnated into another world.

Out of nowhere, the goddess appeared all the time.

"- Did you drop it on the lake with this [additive magic] of gold? Or is it silver [toughness]?

I'm not sure about the meetup. To the goddess who hits the little play,

"Did you change your character before you saw him for a while?

"Don't. He said he'd never seen me again."

"I don't care if I say hiccup... about twenty days?

It should be more or less that many days between being reincarnated and waking up to the battle of Fort Lanzrack.

but the goddess shook her head.

"Four months and 20 days a year, to be exact."

"A year, four months?... Oh, do you count from the pregnancy period"

It was a year, four months and 20 days ago that Alfred's father and Julia's mother choked and fertilized.

Ten months after that, my mother gave birth to me, and I woke up to my consciousness as a reincarnator when I was six months old.

And twenty days from that point until the battle of Fort Lanzrack.

"Well, you didn't take the body of the fetus from the beginning, did you?"

"Of course I am. I want you to trust the power of the gods who lead the circle."

"No, I'm sorry. I thought you were gonna be okay."

I realize.

I can talk normally, can't I?

I'll take a look at my body in advance, but my body remains a baby.

"... so what the hell is this situation? He's not dead, is he?

The goddess nodded one thing,

"Absolutely. You're in a state called Growth Sleep."

"Growth sleep?

"Yes. When the people of Marquecto are in a period of leveling, they are struck by intense drowsiness and enter a deep sleep called 'Growth Sleep'. You tame your body with the new power brought to you by this growth sleep."

"So you're saying that my body asked me to sleep to cope with it because my level has risen"

"That's a little different. You can level up, go through growth sleep, and as a result, you can level up."

"... I don't know the difference"

"Well, take a look at your status."

The goddess tells me that I [appraise] myself.

"Guardian of the Good God"

I do have a "level up standby" but... 31?

Also, it's called "Hernfang" Baby Scarlet ".

"You've been defeating mercenaries a long time, headed by Gores, who was an apostle to the evil gods. That's also at level one. That much goes up."

Goddess says.

"Yes, I wanted to ask you about that. Was it the Curse of the Evil God? What the hell is that?

"Nothing more than what you looked into in the [appraisal], right? The evil god makes contact with the person he thought this would be and gives him various powers in exchange for his lifespan. Just in exchange for life expectancy. The effect is a powerful thing. With the blessing of the Good God, you can't increase your extreme abilities, so it's a troubling place."

Thank God you defeated me, goddess.

"He's not talking to some sort of passageway, is he?

"Hiroshi Kizaki. Although this life (Konji) would have been given a different name. Yeah, that's right. This time the Apostle is completely separate from Pestle. It's just a coincidence that you ran into it."

"You didn't even try to be like that, did you?

"I don't have that power. Because it is another god who presides over destiny. All I can do is work in the realm of souls"

"The realm of souls......?

"Reincarnation and the award of skills."

"Why do skills have to do with souls?

"You have to talk from what skills are to explain that."

"Please!

I rushed in and asked the goddess.

That would be an opportunity not to be missed.

I hear you're working on your skills. God knows who they are, right?

The goddess had an unexpectedly cute cough before starting to talk.

"-First of all, how do you understand skills?

"I learned these moves and magic. Isn't that like a certificate?

"No, I'm not."

There's no goddess. I'll never bring a castered whiteboard, and I'll knock that surface with the butt of a board marker for the trick.

"Skills are a reward from God."

"Reward?

Me confused by words I never expected.

"Depending on the degree of mastery of technology, God - or primarily from me, God's power is given. This blend of divine power and the refined skill of the man is one thing, skill."

"The power of God..."

"We just call it" power, "but if it's hard to understand... well, you can call it a gift"

In short,

Skills = the person's technology + gifts

That means.

"When it comes to why you're doing that, it's, of course, to make people do it and confront demons and evil gods. A man's skill and inborn physical abilities alone do not even rival demons. So we're giving gifts to help people develop their skills, their physical abilities, and their ability to fight demons."

by gifts given to technology, people acquire "skills,"

Gifts given to physical abilities give people "status values" (HP or MP).

What lists skills and status values are "statuses" that can be seen by skills such as [appraisal], which is like a correspondence book from God, so to speak (the goddess explained).

"But if we can do that, why don't we just give more gifts and strengthen people?

"I won't struggle if I can do that. In the first place, do you know where the power of God to be the source of gifts comes from?

"The raw material of the gift…"

I mean, where do you bring the power to be given when you level up?

Well, then...

"... Experience, huh!

"That's the thing. Although there is no concept of 'XP' in this world, and when you defeat a demon or evil man, the power of the evil god contained in that status is released. Anyway, if you defeat demons and evil men, some of their statuses will come round to me. Purify with my power the power of the evil gods that have circled it, and distribute it as a gift to those who have defeated some of it."

Conversely, when a human on the side of the Good God is defeated on the side of the Bad God, that status is absorbed on the side of the Bad God.

Thus the Good God and the Evil God distribute their power to those under their authority as gifts (Curse in the case of the Evil God) to strengthen them.

Then let the reinforced subordinates defeat the opponent's subordination and take the opponent's status.

In this way, they say, they are stripping each other of their limited "power" resources and competing to develop their own forces.

"So I'm going back to the beginning."

The goddess spreads her hands before me.

On one hand is the intricately vortex-wrapped translucent magic, and on the other hand is something like a powerfully beating pink heart.

[Appraisal].

"[Additional Magic] Gifts"

"Gifts of [Toughness]"

Yeah, it's a gold gift, a silver gift.
