It is a world where there is neither the dawn of the year nor New Year's holiday. The first day of the New Year is the "day after something special happened" kind of atmosphere.

Hikar was in a carriage leaving Einvist's capital, Hopestadt, along with Lavia and Paula. We were going to use "Dragon's Road" to get back to Scalazard, but it wasn't a walkable distance to the "Dragon's Road" entrance.

"... that?

Hikaru noticed in the carriage. to changes in the soul board.

They are getting older. Lavia, even if you check Paula, Lavia is 15 years old and Paula is 18 years old and growing by one year.

(... does it work to get one year older at the same time as the start of the new year? Uniform and easy to understand, but it's not a birthday standard, is it?)

The carriage moves on shaking from one to the next. Lavia, sitting next to Hikaru, was relaxed, and Paula, sitting further next to Lavia, was making other passengers, children, listen to the church. The beast boy with the tiger's ear was listening to Paula with his eyes sparkling.

idyllic.

(Mm--)

It was Hikaru who had been watching the soulboard closely for a long time, but, uh, I noticed a strange feeling.

(Speaking of which... Johann from the party "Extreme Tiger" felt weird when he was looking at the elf soulboard, too. It looks different (...) I mean)

What is it? I think, staring. Watching makes me want to shake a point asexually. The residual point is the exquisite point of 3. I was wondering if I could use it here because it was an increased point.

If you shake, which one should it be?

"Heavenly Fire" -- this is a pass. We know it's the top skill of "armed proficiency," but if we stick this up, "we lose part of what we can do if we humans." I'm not kidding that humanity is getting scarce.

"Hidden" -- this could be an ant. I just need 2 points to MAX them both because "life blocking" and "magic blocking" are 4 each.

"Intuition" -- it's a convenient skill. It's useful enough in 1, so there's also a desire to grow more. It's just that the max is high at "20," and if you can feel the change from 0 to 1, 1 to 2 may hardly change. Looking at the explanatory items, "you can sharpen your senses and get a revelation close to prediction," so if you raise it more, it may turn into a "predictive future" skill. Do I still need about 10 points to get there?

"Detection" -- I've already got enough information for "Magic Detection" 3 and "Detection Extension" MAX.

"Hmmm......"

Hikaru was troubled. Troubled results- I decided to shake one to "intuition". Because I "intuited" that it was going to help somehow. I was heartily surprised at how "intuitive" works in these situations, but I also feel like the "intuitive" item is saying Wagamama wants me to stretch myself out.

(Ha... that's not true. It's not like the items on the soul board have personality)

Operate with your fingers to make "intuition" 2 —— and.

!?

Hikaru opened his eyes. I have a different feeling than I have before-- that's not true. I have no idea what makes it different from "Intuition" 1.

But there was an obvious difference.

It is not to Hikaru's senses, but to the soul board.

(beside the name...... an indication of "+" appeared?

I've never seen such an indication before, and I've never seen a soul board with such an indication. By the way, there's no "+" for checking Lavia's soulboard.

Hikaru concentrates on his soulboard. Having a "+" on a screen like this means —— tap it.

(Opened!

A new item has emerged.

[Soul Blaze]

[Unlock Plus]

[Divine Connect]

[Access Plus]

Unexpectedly, my voice leaks.

".................. na"

What the hell? Aah!

I swallowed all the time wanting to scream.

"? Master Hikaru?

"Oh, uh, yeah, nothing..."

Paula looked at this one strangely, and Lavia had already rowed the ship.

(No, no, no, no, what's this feature?

This is not like a skill tree, it seems to be a stand-alone item. The skill tree showed descriptive minutes when I focused on items, so I checked as well --.

[Soul Blaze]...... Enhance the effectiveness of the Soul Board by 10%.

[Unlock Plus] … The unlock point is also granted an effect as a foundation ability.

[DIVINE CONNECT] … I can understand the points necessary to obtain "protection".

[ACCESS PLUS] … Increase the distance you can access another person's soul board up to 50 meters.

It worked quite nicely.

(What the heck is this... like a "soul board" skill tree?

Hikaru thought so, but apparently he's right. This item is displayed as "Vitality" page or "Magic" page.

4 items displayed hanging on the "+" button. On top of that is the number "1" —— that is, you can activate only one of any one. It would be appropriate to think so.

(Which one to take, right... "Soul Blaze" can simply raise the bottom of your abilities. Same goes for "Unlock Plus". However, in my case, I don't use the "Vitality" and "Magic" pages just to unlock them, "Point to Death". I'm honestly happy that these make sense... well, I can't use magic.)

Hikaru has 58 total points and 8 points used for unlocking. If you want to compare "Soul Blaze" with "Unlock Plus" it would be more useful in total quantity to get "Unlock Plus". It would be "Soul Blaze" if you were just going to stretch the "strengths".

(So "Divine Connect" is... "Protected," but could this be)

Hikaru takes it out, also known as Alliance Card —— Soul Card (...).

[Adventurer Alliance Card]

[First Name] Hikaru

[Record] Pawnsonian Kingdom Pond Adventurer Guild

[Rank] D

[Occupation] □ ▲ Hay % 20 *

As always, the "Heavenly Nope" profession is a bugged indication, but this system is a gift from God... or "shelter" in other words.

(On the soul board, you mean you know which "profession" -- "protection" -- you get if you take a few more points?

Of course, "Heavenly Nope" and others are "occupations" not derived from soul boards, so you may not know where you took "Divine Connect". But can we still say that the ability to refer to the incredible systems in God's realm of "vocation" and "protection" is very valuable?

(So, the last "Access Plus" -- this would be nice, too. If you're 50 meters away, you can check your soul board all you want without anyone finding out)

For the most part, it is not difficult to approach a distance of 5 meters if there is a "hidden" of Hikaru. But when you can't physically get close —— for example, across the wall -- you have a use for it.

Which should be activated?

Distressing.

(... I mean, how did I wake up to this ability?

Was Soulboard's "Intuition" 2 good? No, it's not--

At that time, Hikaru remembered when he had been discussing it in Japanese with Celica in the past.

It's kind of fair.

—— Fair?

—— If you use magic, you get better and better. If you take the life of a creature, that will help. The magic, the soul, it's something that Japan didn't have, but it's well balanced in this world.

Use magic to get better and better.

There is such a balance in this world.

(I used enough points to become proficient in soul boards?

Thanks to the use of points, the "proficiency" of the soul board has accumulated and the "level" has increased… And you've earned bonus points for rising levels.

(What if? If you are also proficient at waving other people's points, for example, "unlocking" bandits and death row inmates against them may increase the level of your soul board. Then I can use all four of these items......)

If I can use it all, it would be great.

"Heh, heh... heh, heh"

"What, Master Hikaru? That was weird earlier, wasn't it?

"Here we go. The bandit hunt."

"Yes!? What's the sudden matter?!?"

Hikaru decided to keep the "Soulboard +" point until he confirmed whether this hypothesis was correct.

"Early in the New Year, I hope we get along"

It was a hical that had one of the pleasures of traveling to Scalazard —— though Paula was blue.
