- In the carriage in a few hours...

"... Katras? I'm confused, are you okay?

"… yes, there is"

Next to me, Katras answers.

My hands on my knees keep opening and closing again and again.

Occasionally, he grabs his hand and flips his spine.

Each time, I hold my shoulders and pull them together to calm them down.

But I'm still sweating.

I wiped my body before I left the inn and got dressed.

"I'm... a little drunk in the carriage... yes"

"Really?

"Well, it is. The carriage's... vibrations are... a little... crackling... just... eh."

"As it is, well, he says he's fine too... so"

Fern, sitting on my left, nodded.

"We say that Katras' other personality is fine, so it's fine..."

"But, you know what?

Eine snapped her neck with a strange face.

"Sometimes Katras and Finn make the same move as hey, how come?

"" "Huh?

Me, Cutlass, and Finn, they slapped their necks at the same time.

I scratched my cheeks, pressed my chin and nodded.

"... right?

"" "Uh... this is" "

"... Eine, come here"

At your table, Illis invites you.

"We know what's happening to Illis. As a maiden... you'll appreciate it if you don't touch me."

"Really?

"Katras and Finn, I don't think there's a problem. Instead... I think it's in a mixed state. I'm not worried it's going to be a habit..."

"Mmm. If that's what Iris says, I get it."

Aine moves to your seat with a strange face.

Iris... you know what Cutlass is like. Probably.

I also used "Fast Reconstruction" Quick Structure/Modification "for Illis the other day.

That skill, instead of being able to 'rebuild' the skill in an instant, must then continue to adjust all the time.

In the meantime, Katras and I will remain connected.

Normal Fast Reconstruction "Quick Structure" will remain connected, but "Modified" will result in a stronger "Combined State" for both mind and body.

So, I'm next door, and I keep tweaking through the cutlass, and...

Cutlass.

Unexpectedly, said Illis in your seat.

Cutlass shook his shoulder and...

"... hi, yes. Iris which"

"That state of affairs... may be fine at the beginning... but it's fine. As soon as I integrate with your brother... I will calm down."

"... Oh, thank you"

"... Finn, are you in the same condition?"

"So, there is. Since the dawn, it's a magic trick for Finn."

"Tapupu Daika"

"So, there is."

"... the way you put it is a little"

I waved.

Cutlass and Feen also waved.

"... hey, I see... then I feel integrated with... so, there is..."

"Good luck. of Illis… the… for the future as well"

"Yes…"

Katras nagged as she lowered her trembling knee.

I lay my own hand on Cutlass's hand and monitor her condition.

"… or which hand……… has it happened, there is"

Katras looked at my face and smiled softly.

Now me and Cutlass are in "Fast Reconstruction and Modification," and we're deeply connected.

"Fast Rebuild/Modify" has the effect of increasing my integration with the person who rebuilt my skills.

Last time I used it on Illis, my movements and those of Illis were synchronized.

I felt like I knew what Illis wanted me to do and what he wanted me to do.

So I thought it might be available for Soul Soul (Spirit Link).

To succeed in "Soul Solidarity (Spirit Link)", you must have been "Soul Approximate (Engage)" for at least a certain amount of time.

But a deeper connection might shorten that period.

The point is to increase the concentration, shorten the time.

Either way, we're 'soul-to-soul' in a cheesy way.

Even if you establish Soul Solidarity (Spirit Link) with cheats, it's nothing, is it?

"... when I do this, I feel like I know what Cutlass wants me to do"

For example... Cutlass wants his back now...?

I felt that, so I touched Cutlass's back.

".................. Ha. It's calming...... it feels mixed...... there is. Ha ha."

"Are you okay with your body? Cutlass."

"Daijibu… is… rather" Mixed "… feels like it's been going on for a long time… yes"

Cutlass had a damp hand, wrapped my hand around it.

"So keep going...... so, there is...... keep it up"

"Okay. I'll check your skills."

I called the skills window. [M]

This is the kind of skill I made in "Fast Reconstruction" Quick Structure/Modification (Kai) ".

"Magnetic Toxicology LV1" (4 Concept Cheat Skills)

'Magic' and 'Toxins' into 'Faster' Neutralizing Ruru 'Skills

Skills that can wipe out the magic and poison that touched Katras-Mutran's body early.

The neutralization rate is the number x (applied) level % + 20% of the concept.

(Current neutralization rate: 24% increase = neutralizable at the normal rate of 20% increase)

It is also possible to neutralize "petrification", which cannot be solved unless it is cursed (dispelled).

However, it cannot be used for instantly damaging attack magic.

I used Common Skills' Detoxification LV1 'and' Delayed Magic (Slow) LV1 '.

"Detoxification LV1"

'Neutralizing' 'Toxins' to 'Early' Skills

"Delayed Magic (Slow) LV1"

'Slow down' skills for 'Reaction Speed' in 'Magic'

I've used Delay Magic before, so I knew what the concept was.

By combining that with 'detoxification', I've tried to create cheap defensive skills.

However, the purpose of this one is not to create cheat skills, but to connect more deeply with Cutlass in Fast Reconstruction and Modification.

"... the concept has slipped away. I'll stabilize it. Cutlass."

"... is, yes... eh. Hmmm!?

Cutlass held his mouth, turning his body against it.

... That's crazy.

We're in sync, so we kind of know what Cutlass wants.

That's why I should have done it...

".................. some more, like this?

"Ha, ha, ooh..."

Koten, and Katras, they're putting weight on my shoulder.

"……… or which"

"Are you okay, Cutlass?"

"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

Cutlass said, blurring up at my face.

"............ keep it like this forever... or 'shinkuro' with which... so... forever"

"We'll be at Metecal soon, good luck"

"... Huh"

"Pockles, pickles, peckles, try not to shake them, but... it would help if you hurried"

"'' It's my day!!

That's why the carriage that carried us was headed toward the commercial city of Metecal.

After noon, we were on our way to the Metechal Inn.

".................. Huh. Finally... I am calm..."

"Good day, Katras"

"... I'm... already... with what kind of magic... I'm puffy"

".................. Sorry to disturb you. Brother, Mr. Cutlass. Mr. Feen."

In the meantime, "True and Conscious Sharing," Mind Linkage True, "I told Rita," Here we are. "

Rita and Leticia are going to gather more information at Viscount Milfe's house.

So we quickly took the inn, and we took the inn with me and Katras (and Pheen), Eine and Iris...

"... Think about it, I guess it wasn't necessary for Illis to be present from the very beginning..."

Ilis is told by "Kerkatl the Sea Dragon" to see if Katras and I... are going to make it right.

But that doesn't have to be today, does it?

That… there may be another opportunity during the journey.

- I told Ilis.

"It doesn't necessarily mean you won't get caught up in some sort of case at Metecal, does it? When I can, I, I need to be present, as a maiden!

"Okay. And Cutlass. Is that okay?

".................. fine. Also, Iris, I don't know... what I'm in... because I'm out of shape..."

"Yes. I understand."

"The last ritual, please… or which"

Sitting on the bed, little one, Katras bowed his head deeply.

This time, Katras and I performed a two-step ritual to 'Soul Soul (Spirit Link)' at once.

The first step is to exchange each other's magic powers in "Skill Structure" to "Soul About (Engage)".

Next, synchronize with "Fast Reconstruction" Quick Structure/Modification "to further strengthen the connection.

Doing so increased the density of "Soul About (Engage)" per hour.

I felt that if I lay my body on top of it, "Soul Soul (Spirit Link)" would come true.

"... even if it doesn't work... don't worry about it. Which one?"

That's what Katras said, he laughed.

"I... want to help everyone at the party... if I can get a clue to empower you, that's all I'm happy about..."

"... me too."

Finn took over the Cutlass line.

"Or which one is a great inspiration and by making it happen, you are the one who saves people. We're happy if we can help you."

"(a), Illis too...... it will be the same. Come on, come on!

"Iris, Finn, you're in too much mood."

I told you two heads. [M]

Iris and Feen close their eyes like tickles.

Then I invited Cutlass and put him on my lap. [M]

"There's nothing I can't do. Really... because Katras and I... want to do a lot of things. Two levels of enhancement, I wish I could, so what?"

I looked at everyone's face and I said,

"I wanted to do a two-step enhancement, including Cutlass... so that we could all live relaxed. I couldn't help but say I couldn't do it."

"... or so I thought you said."

"... besides, if you can strengthen the Cutlass in two stages... in case the Cutlass... you can easily get out of that fate when you're in trouble because of the 'royal blood' that flows inside you. Well, I don't know what to do when that happens, because me and everyone else are on my side."

"............... or which"

"... hmm?

"… it's a good idea, there is"

Cutlass sat on my lap, straight, looking at me.

"I... thank my mother for raising me as a cadet. 'Cause then how did you let me meet..."

"We'll have to go to Katras' mother's grave any day."

Cutlass and Finn, your kids, they said I got it.

That's about it, right?

"Then… we shall begin the ritual, Cutlass"

"Yes, or which"

Cutlass put a little head on my shoulder.

I held that back and...

"" Reconditioning "" Demon Toxic Decomposition (Sobukai) LV1 ". Execute" Fast Reconstruction "Quick Structure/Modification"!

"---------!

In my arms, Cutlass's little body trembled.

And then Cutlass hugged me and...

"─ So, let's have the last ritual... please... or which"

"Is it okay if I keep doing this?

".................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Cutlass had a bright red face and scratched my back.

"In what way would you like me to be the mother of the brave child of a sea dragon?"

"I'm sorry... I don't know, I messed up"

Really, maybe we should take it slower, take some time.

But when I was looking at Cutlass -- not just for the promise, but for the soul (Spirit Link) as well -- that's what I thought.

"You can be like us. Eh heh."

That's what I said, Katras laughed.

"I have nothing to hide from you. We're at a party, we're slaves, we're family."

And so Cutlass, gracefully, bowed down to me like a princess.

Then, slowly, he began to untie his clothes.

And then...

It was early, so we closed the curtains in the room tightly.

Listen to what Cutlass wants you to do in True Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage True, and go slowly and...

After that, Cutlass switched with Finn and...

And then, slowly, time flies by and...

"... or which... daisy... yes"

"... of you... or which..."

"……………… (clattering)"

Cutlass fell asleep (Illis turned bright red and passed out along the way).

And...

"Soul Approximate (Engage)" above a certain density ─ condition cleared.

Me and Cutlass wanted it, I got a message.

· Magical bonding for more than a certain amount of time ─ Conditional clearance.

Embrace each other in complete trust for more than a certain amount of time ─ condition cleared.

· Mental ties above a certain depth ─ Conditional clearance.

The establishment of Soul Soul (Spirit Link) has awakened Soul Skills.

Souma-Nagi

"Ability Enhancement (Skill Booster)/Modification" (Soul Soul Sorting Skill "Spirit Link Skill")

'Level' can be extracted from two target skills.

Skills that have been pulled out of the "Level" will collapse in concept and disappear.

Extracted 'Levels' can be added to the Reconstruction Skill during 'Capability Reconstruction'.

(For example, if "LV1" and "LV2" of "Dobby LV1" and "Worrying LV2" are pulled out, they can be saved as "level concepts" of "LV3".

If used during "Capability Reconstruction," the reconstructed skill will be LV4, not LV1)

The extracted "level concept" can be saved up to two.

Suddenly 'Skill Booster' changed.

This means that only the level of unusable skills can be extracted as a 'level concept'.

Plus, up to two. Add to that skill level.

Until now, when I rebuilt my skills in Capability Reconstruction, I was at level 1.

Even "Ability Extraction (Skill Stocker)" did not know if the extracted concepts would be useful.

But this can control the 'skill level' itself.

All the skills you're going to build can be made at a high level. Awesome......

So, Katras' skills... eh.

"Dragon Knight Change (Dragoon Mode)" (Soul Sorting Skill "Spirit Link Skill")

What Katras' desire for 'Dragon Guardian' came true.

When activated, 'Dragon Knight Armor' is formed around the body.

Until "Dragon Knight Armor" is destroyed, no damage will go to Cutlass.

(If you take more damage than your defense, the 'Dragon Knight Armor' blows up, where the damage stops)

Flame and Frozen Magic damage is reduced during the development of Dragon Knight Armor.

Get more magic from party members with 'Dragon Attributes' to get additional effects according to that attribute.

(If you are a sea dragon, underwater breathing and water pressure resistance. Tenryu gains Fall Resistance and Magic Defense)

Note that "Armor of the Holy Knight" and "Armor of the Dragon Knight" can be summoned on top of each other.

... Wow.

It's cheesy, isn't it, this?

The fact that "Dragon Knight Armor" and "Sacred Knight Armor" can be overlaid means that in that case, destroying "Dragon Knight Armor" will reveal "Sacred Knight Armor" and destroying "Sacred Knight Armor" will reveal an intact cutlass from within...

It's like a nightmare for the enemy.

Of course, for me, Cutlass' defenses are going up, so I don't have anything to say.

... Is that it? Finn has more skills.

"The Exploration of Sacred Objects" Artifact Searcher/Modification "

Peripheral 'sacred objects' positions and abilities can be perceived.

I can feel the presence of 'sacred objects' in a radius of dozens of meters, centered around me. Also, I know its ability.

Basically not obstructed by walls, obstacles, crates, etc.

Is this the top version of Artifact Searcher exploring sacred objects?

He said he knew what he was capable of... wow.

'Sacred Artifact' is more or less cheesy, so if you know what you're capable of, you can work out measures before they use it.

Both Cutlass and Feen have been awakened in defense skills, I guess.

"... Really, good luck with that. Cutlass and Feen."

"....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I put Cutlass and Fern of the Magic Body on my lap and put him on his back.

Take your time... until you both breathe.

"... Iris is also very helpful"

"............ but good luck......"

With a bright red face pressed against the cushion of the room's bench, Iris replied, small.

Then I blanketed Katras, Pheen, and Illis, who fell asleep.

Finally, when I held each head... it was perfect, and everyone held my hand.

The bed and the bench - each with his hand pulled, I lowered my back to the chair in the room.

... because this time, I made everyone impotent.

Let's do this for a while.

Besides, seeing everyone's quiet sleeping face makes me feel happy.

After a while, there was a knock in the room.

I pulled my hand out so I wouldn't wake everyone up.

Eine stood when she got up from the chair and opened the door to the room.

He's got a bucket of hot water in his hand and a cloth to wipe his body off.

"... That's your sister"

"Hmm. I know exactly what Eine is."

So Eine took out a little note.

"I checked out a store in Metecal, a commercial city that serves good, energetic rice for digestion. We'll all go when it's settled."

"I'm too smart for that. Sister."

"Hmm."

Aine breathed satisfactorily and closed the door.

Then, I'll wait for Katras and Illis to wake up and check up.

Dinner is served at Eine's restaurant.

After a good night's rest...

I decided to head to the rendezvous point with Rita Leticia.
