Being Able to Edit Skills in Another World, I Gained OP Waifus

The next day after Rafilia and the main subordination agreement.

Me, Cecil, and three Raphilia were visiting the mansion in England.

Cecil is my escort.

Rafilia is meeting Iris for the first time, so with an introduction. Of course, Eine, he's wearing a disguise while he walks outside, hiding his elf ears in a handmade hood.

We meet Illis to greet Irgafa and to listen to what the situation is now with the Knights of Divine Life and the Adventurer's Guild.

"Lordship of Ilgafa" ─ Iris Nchi was a building like shrinking the Royal Palace intact, with huge double-open doors at the entrance, and a gatekeeper withheld.

When I visited here this morning, I was the gatekeeper who received a letter from Illis. He seemed to get through the conversation properly, "Turn to the General Gate," he told me politely.

We were guided through the general gates and led by our maids through a wide hallway.

"Actually, I'd like to ask Souma to investigate the sanctuary of the sea dragon."

We were supposed to hear about the quest from Illis waiting in the reception room.

"Was the Sanctuary of the Sea Dragon a place to perform the 'Sea Dragon Festival' ritual"

I asked Illis. [M]

Rita and Eine taught me the knowledge of this place.

In the morning, I had the two of you go ask around. Thanks to Eine's communicative power, Rita's auditory research, I have a lot of information coming in.

The festival of Sea Dragon Kerkator, patron saint of the port town of Ilgafa, will take place in a few days. I hear there's something wrong with that festival where Illis holds the witch.

"The tip of the peninsula. I've heard rumors of demons appearing there, too."

"Yes, rarely, but it seems that the bonds around the Holy Land are weak."

Standing at the window, Illis started talking.

What she's wearing is a yellow dress. Accessories of the same colour, also on the head and arms. Green hair is shaking in the wind blowing in through a thin open window.

"The sanctuary has a cave for rituals - a small dungeon. There are sightings of demons in and out of there."

"Who is the demon?

"I don't know. However, if you don't see him clearly, he seems to be a vigilant one. It's a difficult place for a large number of soldiers to deploy in the dungeons, and I still thought it would be nice to ask the adventurers to investigate."

The sanctuary is where the sea dragon Kelkattle appears during the festival.

If there is a demon there, the sea dragon may not be alert and close, nor can Illis go on the spot.

Dungeons are not suitable for deploying large armies. If you try to get rid of the demons and vandalize the sanctuary, the sea dragon may not come back. Then it makes no sense.

"That's why we want to send someone with arms to investigate and get rid of the demons. Because the strongest and most trustworthy thing that Illis knows is the Souma party."

Iris told as he soaked his green hair in the wind from the sea.

"Of course, it's a formal request from Lord Ilgafa. The UK is responsible for 'Contracts'."

"What about rewards and deadlines and other conditions?

"The reward is 4,000 Arsha. Success reward. There are no penalties, etc. when a quest fails. Even when it comes to dungeons, they are small enough to get to the center by themselves at the ritual. It'll be a long time for the offense, like a couple of hours. Deadline is… Hopefully by tomorrow"

"Are you saying it will be?"

"'Be Ya'?

"Sorry. I knew you were in a hurry,"

Six days after the festival. I know it hurries. But if you ask me to do it today, by tomorrow, it'll be a little tough.

"The deadline is set for tomorrow, because after that, requests will be made to the Adventurer Alliance."

Iris lay down his eyes and told him.

"Then that Knights of Divine Life (...) will move"

"... ugh"

Rafilia held her mouth in disgust. Yeah, I get it.

"They're strong, but the way they do their job is messed up. So I don't want to put them in the sanctuary as much as possible. That's why we're rushing to work."

The tone of Illis also seemed totally unpleasant.

How much do they hate you, Knights of Divine Life?

"I saw them yesterday, too, but who are they?

"I don't know what Illis is familiar with either. However, I am certain that I have brought the royal references of the King's capital and that they are powerful parties."

"I saw how they did it, too. Honestly, I felt nauseous."

"I'm glad Sauma has the same values as Iris."

I think so too.

Did Rafilia remember yesterday, she's nodding with a bright blue face? Cecil looks like she swallowed something sour as she stroked Rafilia's back.

I think they deserve to be certified as enemies if they just let my slaves look like this.

"If it's true, I ask the Adventurers Guild to investigate the Holy Land every year. Because before we perform the ritual on the day of the festival, we have to make sure that there is no danger. But now it's because of the Knights of Divine Life, because the Adventurer Guild isn't working."

"Doesn't it work?"

To the words of Illis, I nod back.

... Right.

I left Rafilia for a compression interview. I brought up "God of the Covenant" and finally gave up the Knights of Divine Life as well. If it's true, the Alliance is about to stop it. If it was the original world, I'd even bash the person who came for the interview. Repeat, carry on until I bring it to trial, and the side introducing it to the job would look at it and look at it, you know?

I guess I should crush it right now.

"I'm pretty sure the Knights of Divine Life are high-ranking adventurers."

"Yeah, I'll make sure the request is fulfilled. But it does a lot of damage around us."

"Specifically?

"To defeat the demons that are attacking the livestock huts, you can use a series of flaming magic to ash demons from livestock to livestock"

"... Huh?

"Drive demons appearing on the streets toward travelers and caravans to increase the number of victims"

".................. heh"

"I basically leave my seriously injured buddies alone. For that reason, do you think the trail they did the quest had a body or a seriously injured person rolling around? We hear that over dozens of party members are constantly being replaced, with the exception of the superiors. And because of their extremely high combat abilities, they say they have a monopoly on challenging quests."

"Why is the Adventurer Alliance allowing that?

"They voluntarily pay 30% of their rewards to the Alliance. So I guess it's not a bad party for the Adventurer Guild. Plus all they do is high-difficulty quests. Compared to abandoning demons, some damage is inevitable... I guess that's what this is all about"

I knew it. Crush it. Ilgafa's Adventurer Guild. Or apprentice Aine's common guild.

Is that why the Knights of Divine Life (Black Companies) do what they want?

Like I was doing to Rafilia, I forcefully solicited her to the party and took her on a difficult mission to dispose of. Are you saying that the reduced amount is also strongly solicited and added......

The question is, how can a disposable member endure such a state of affairs, but this is likely forcing him to 'contract'?

For the Alliance, I get paid up, so I'm grateful. Mochibana.

... This one is so annoying.

"Okay. I'll take Illis' request."

I said.

Either way, the terms are not bad. As an employer, Iris-Hafeumea can be trusted.

You've been paying me well, and I've had a crude inventory.

This quest just drives the dungeon demons away. Apparently, we just need to be able to ensure the safety of Illis until he strengthens his ties.

... The truth is, I've been wanting to hang out at home a little longer.

But now that the Adventurer Guild isn't working, I have little chance of getting a decent job. There may be a low level quest, but the Adventurer Guild has the Knights of Divine Life. Honestly, I don't want to get involved. I'm sorry I could put my eyes on you.

So we don't have the option of turning down a valuable "trustworthy" job. Plus, I know how Iris feels about not wanting to get involved with them.

"In other words, when the Knights of Divine Life are involved, damage is done to the sanctuary of the sea dragon. So you're telling us, right?

To my line, Illis nodded with a face like he was saved.

"Illis doesn't want to be trampled and vandalized by outlaws."

"Okay. Then I want you to tell me more about the Holy Land. And if you've ever had weak connections, maybe with a list of demons that emerged at that time."

"Of course that is. I'll give you the map and the materials later."

"Illis is quick and helpful"

"Naturally. Isn't Iris and Souma your friends?

That being said, Iris laughed somewhat lightly.

"I'm glad to be of service to you, Souma. Something that makes me happy...... right"

Like I came up with a good thing, Iris slapped his hand, pounding.

"Why don't you accompany Illis to the dungeon?"

"Iris?

"Yeah. Either way, after we get rid of the demons, we have to get Iris inside and perform a ritual that strengthens the bonds"

That said, Iris, uh, strained his chest.

Originally, the sanctuary was stretched to avoid demons. That was partly with the help of a sea dragon, and only Iris can control the junction. After you get rid of the demons, you can perform the ritual of strengthening the junction at the deepest end of the dungeon. That seems to be the case.

"Iris is the one most familiar with the structure of the sea dragon dungeon. Each year, at the time of the survey, I guided the Adventurer Alliance. It's about an hour and a half to the center without the demons. It's perfectly fine. It's a year-round event."

Only witches were there, and they were so convincing.

Events all year round? Can't you help it then...

"It is also the witch's duty to see if the sanctuary is kept clean. Failure to do so may buy the wrath of the sea dragon Kelkattle"

Is it the witch's duty? Then...

"Besides, only Iris can go to the center and strengthen the bond. Look, it's not a problem at all, is it?

Only Iris can enhance the results, then............

"No, wait a minute. That's weird."

I was almost convinced by accident.

"If you want to strengthen the bond, you can do it after we sweep the demons, right?

"No. Illis must properly understand what demons have entered and why the juncture has loosened. You need to accompany the Soumas to do that."

"I'll report on the type of demon, and why the junction is loose. Why don't we just settle down later and see?

"Sauma."

Iris looked at me resentfully.

I had tears.

He grabbed the hem of the dress with his little hand.

"A girl's trying to be brave and adventurous, isn't she? As a brave man, don't you think I'd take you out?

"I don't think so"

"Why!?"

"What are you gonna do with a witch to take her to investigate to make sure she's safe? And I'm not a brave man in the first place."

"Ugh."

"Don't cry with your eyes"

"Do not treat Illis like a child!

Pampered, and Ilis slapped the table in the palm of his hand.

"The Iris proposal is the result of calculating the speed and efficiency of the quest strategy!

"What I refuse to do is calculate my employer's life risk."

"Don't say things like that to others. Souma and Iris will be friends!

"Yeah. So. You can't take your friends to dangerous places."

"..."

To my line, Illis drank words unexpectedly.

Was there a fight?

Iris turned to his side in tears and let him breathe for a while before sighing, ha.

"Souma seems more right. I get it. Let's get Iris here."

"It would help if you did that"

"Now, after the Soumas are safe, we're going to go into the dungeon and strengthen the bond."

Good. Looks like you convinced me.

"Of course. I was going to do that from the beginning."

Pinching the hem of the dress, Illis laughed.

Liar. You didn't even care to follow me to the dungeon, now.

I told you before, Illis can't even walk outside freely. Perhaps the festival ritual is the only opportunity for Illis to push his will through.

"Then Illis will be waiting on the ground until the investigation of the Soumans is complete. So in the meantime, could you escort your companion Souma?

That's what Iris saw, Cecil and Raphilia.

I get a straight glance and the two of them unexpectedly open their eyes.

Illis talks calmly so as to reassure the two of them like that.

"I'm going to ask the Regular Soldier to accompany me, but I want your companion Souma to stay with me."

"As a liaison to Illis?

"Right. As soon as the Soumas return from the dungeon, Illis will perform the ritual of strengthening the bond inside."

We're back. We're gonna report the dungeon to Iris and the Regular Army.

And when we take Illis back inside, if our people are close to Illis, it's easy for us to work together.

"─ And that's what you mean?

"There's that too... I really want someone to talk to because I get anxious while Illis waits"

"You're bluffing too much, Iris"

"Friends don't hide things."

Sure, I know the convenience of Illis.

As soon as we get rid of the demons, Illis will perform the ritual of strengthening the junction in the dungeon. To do this, you have to refrain all the way by the dungeon. And as I found out in the previous battle, regular soldiers don't really count. Then can't you even think of us as escorts?

"Okay. If that's the case..."

"Huh!?

I was sitting bluffy on the couch. Rafilia jumped up.

"Oh, me, is that me?

"Yes, while we're diving in the dungeon, follow him to Illis."

"... the master trusts me...?

"Yeah. I'll have Eine and I combine."

First, Cecil's "Ancient Language Magic" needs Rita or my support. And Rita is mandatory as a combat personnel. Naturally, I can't have everyone lurking in the dungeon waiting for me, so I'm coming with you. I mean, these three are set to go to the dungeon.

The structure of the dungeon is taught by Illis. It's a dungeon to use for rituals, so it's not that wide. They don't even have a record of a powerful demon in it. So with Cecil and Rita, we should be able to figure it out. If you seem tough, you can go back and get back out in full membership.

So the Iris escort is in charge of Rafilia and Eine. Rafilia can use both bows and arrows and magic, and when she gets pinched, she can increase her luck (rack) and escape with her cheat skill "Unlucky Extinction LV1".

Eine can use "more dirt water" if it's by the water, and if it's a low-level demon, it can be blown away with "demon sweep".

Still a little worried, so I'm going to reinforce Rafilia a little bit when I get back. I'm sure you still have the skills for "watering" that Iris gave you. And then I stopped by the skill shop and said...

─ ─ Except for the cheat skills thing, I explained it to everyone.

"Leave it to me, master!

Rafilia punched herself in the chest. "Hot ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho"

"This Rafilia-Grace, let me try my new self. It is a mission from the master, a existence that you fulfill even if you turn it into a life!

"And, Iris. The escort means a separate contract, and the reward goes directly to Rafilia and Eine."

I said.

The cost of Rafilia's "subordination contract" is high because of the "bad luck" curse. That's what I want to sharpen as much as possible.

Eine is going to buy everyone's... even if I reward her, right? Because it's "sister".

"So the quest starts early tomorrow morning. I hope so."

"Okay. By the way..."

Iris is coming to my side.

Put your hands together to pray, stretch out your back and look up at me.

"Souma, what happened to the" Crude Inventory "previously given to you by Illis?

"? That one stays the same. Iris, you forgot to write the name of the item.

"Like signing a receipt... didn't you?

"I won't. I'm having trouble getting a weird 'contract'."

"... wow"

Huh? Why are you asking?

Ilis looked at me upwards, and then he laughed at my hair as if it were a lie.

"No, it's nothing. More importantly, when the quest is over, Illis will guide you through the dungeon of sea dragons. It's a sightseeing tour by a witch. It's rare. It's amazing."

"A tour of a sea dragon dungeon."

That's amazing indeed. It is.

"The recommendation is a cave where the daughter of a sea dragon and the brave man are united. This is said to be a place of thanksgiving for the lovers of Ilgafa, who are only allowed in the chosen ones. It's very beautiful and the atmosphere is nice, so maybe you two got lost and accidentally stuck there, right?

"You can't let only the chosen ones in."

"Right. That's right. Looking forward to it."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so many nods, Illis.

I rise with Cecil and Rafilia. [M] He's kind of jerking off. Iris, like, punches him in the cheek, and he goes back to the "daughter of the lord" face again. Then pinch the dress and thank us.

"Tomorrow, thank you. Please help me protect The Dungeon of the Sea Dragon. Ladies and gentlemen, Souma-Nagi."

We left the room with the words of Illis. [M]

Thus we embarked on an investigation into a dungeon of sea dragons.

After the Nagis left, there was a knock in the reception room.

"Iris, are you there? It's your brother, isn't it?

"... brother"

When I opened the door, a tall man stood in the hallway with blue eyes on his grey hair.

He was Neuel-Hafeumea, the brother of Illis.

"I need to talk to you, okay?"

Without waiting for Iris to reply, Neuel enters the reception room.

"It's about the investigation of the Holy Land, why didn't you ask the Adventurer Guild?

"I have your father's permission."

"I know. But Ilis wouldn't have heard the cost over there, would he? From what I've inquired, the Knights of Divine Life will receive it at 3,000 Arsha. Plus, put a thousand Arsha's gratuities on me for brokering the job.

You know, Iris, you need to ask someone more expensive than them. "

"The amount offered by Illis remains unchanged from last year. Only for exorcising demons, I'm just putting them on top. That's the right price, too."

I wonder why I have to repeat what I've said before, over and over.

Until just now, I had so much fun.

"Besides, the sanctuary is a sacred place to meet sea dragons. Even if it's somewhat costly, isn't it natural to leave it to those you trust?

"Ha! That's old, Iris."

Neuel-Hafeumea slammed the wall like a wrath.

"Where the sanctuary is somewhat rough, where is the guarantee that the sea dragon will no longer come? No, even the Knights of Divine Life, they know the importance of that place. Perhaps you could do a polite job on Lord Ilgafa's request. The cost is actually half the price, half the price!

"Do you want so much gratuity 1,000 Arsha, brother"

"It takes a lot of investment to dictate the Marquis woman. You wouldn't know that for a child, Iris."

"'A ship loaded with baggage beyond its vessel becomes the algae chip of the sea, but it is inevitable' - Do you know the saying of Ilgafa, brother?"

"Say what you know! What do children know about me!?"

"Don't shout out loud. Iris is calm."

How can this always happen?

My brother and sister are not thoroughly fit for character. Different values.

Lord Ilgafa is a thriving home in shipping and commerce, I know costs matter.

The rationale that connections with nobility can also help business, doesn't mean that Illis doesn't know either. I'm just saying the means should be chosen.

The port town of Ilgafa is a town protected by the presence of more than one person named Sea Dragon. You shouldn't imitate losing that blessing. Using the Knights of Divine Life is out of the question.

Brother, there's no way you don't know what they're doing.

"You know that the Knights of Divine Life are disposing of party members, right? Brother."

"What does that have to do with us?

"Don't you feel anything about it?

"If you don't like it, you can run. You don't have to 'contract' or anything like that. That's all. It's none of my business."

"... to those masked people, I feel dangerous. I don't even know how many members there are. I don't even know why the masked ones are spoiling themselves to terrible terms of employment. More importantly, how can you overdo it if you put your enemies in front of you?"

And Iris looked upon Neuel, his brother.

My brother, who was smiling lightly, shuddered his shoulder for a moment.

"Illis is a sea dragon witch. We can't leave the security of a sacred place to such people."

"... just because you're a witch doesn't bother you."

"Now is the time to refrain from the festivities. It is the duty of the United Kingdom to perform its duties. That's all!"

"Oh, I guess this festival is, Illis"

"... what does that mean?

"I know what Illis wants. You want to throw out a witch's position or something? I told him I might be able to make that wish come true."

"Please leave, brother."

Iris pointed to the door.

"There's nothing more to talk about. As for the festival of the sea dragon, it is left to the Illis."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Just remember this, Illis."

Neuel crouched his lips and laughed.

"Your brother always thinks of the happiness of Illis."

"... thank you, brother"

That's what I finally answered.

After his brother left, Illis sighed, hah, and lowered his back to the couch.

"... Sama Souma"

Do you still have that "crude inventory", Souma?

Would that person have understood what that means?

If you don't tell me...... from the mouth of Illis. That's why I wanted to connect with him.

"When I gave you a tourist guide, you promised..."

If it has anything to do with the festival, the Iris opinion should go along.

At that time - in the heart of the Holy Land - let's talk about everything.

Maybe Souma will be able to see you.

Iris and the Sea Dragon Kelkattle face each other at the Sea Dragon Festival, at that moment.
