"No. I won't be using it on Mel."

Asai's gentle eyes landed upon the adventurer, examining her features. And whilst she was smiling, relieved that the dungeon had come to an end, the man still managed to notice the subtle trembling of her lower lips, her inconsistent breathing and the cold-sweat upon her brows. "After all that she's been through, I don't want her to feel obligated into risking her life every single time I decide to tackle another trial..."

Kami, who had patiently waited for the man's answer nodded in approval as she casually read his thoughts. Deciding to make it even easier on the man's mental-health, the celestial-deity hopped on over towards the brunette and swiftly landed a kiss upon her forehead. 

Within a matter of seconds, Mel fell towards the side and puked amidst tears marinated in fear.

"W-what did you just do?" Bethel's eyes shifted between her weapon and the goddess that casually smiled as she read her thoughts.

"I showed the girl a glimpse of her future, for if she chose to follow the boy through each and every one of his future battles." Shifting her eyes away from Bethel and back towards Mel, Kami nonchalantly erased the human's stomach contents from existence. "Mel. Having seen your fate, do you still desire to stand besides Asai?"

Mel's soft brown eyes lingered over to Asai who was closely watching without a hint of emotion. His usual stoic expression, one that was always unreadable.

Opening and closing her mouth like a gold-fish, she failed to bring her thoughts to words. Reasons, excuses, rationalization, none of it formed anything coherent enough to speak. 

Whilst she desired strength, skill or ability to be able to return Asai's kindness and goodwill towards her. In no world would she ever willingly march into the jaws of death, especially one after the other. And although she couldn't understand why the man would continuously throw himself into danger and risk, she could only chalk it up to it being the man's destiny to fight.

"It's alright Mel. You don't have to follow me everywhere. There's always backline roles that are equally as important. Like Clam, Gary and Mary, who ensure I still have a home to return to. The guidance and teaching of new knights and adventurers, and so on."

Before Mel could thank the man, or cry tears of relief, Kami quickly tapped the girl's forehead with two fingers. Swiping and removing the memories she had shortly bestowed. Undoing the damage before any long lasting harm could be done. And although she was now once again suffering from that very same amnesia, Mel could still instinctively feel the fear she would experience if she were to carelessly follow Asai into hell.

"Look at the bright side~ You've yet to claim your awards. Go, take them. Before I kick you all out of the dungeon without it." Kami crossed her arms under her bosom, causing them to bounce as she pretended to be strict. And although it was just a clumsy act, the others didn't exactly feel like testing her.

Bethel took two steps towards the middle of the platform, towards the giant chest before stopping, realizing she was now in service to a lord and duke. As such, she stepped-aside and saluted Asai as she went on by. Honestly, Asai didn't care about such procedures and protocols, but as a duke and as someone pretending to be of this world and not of Earth, he somewhat had to. Thus, he didn't bother commenting.

Ignoring the items that appeared monochrome to him, his eyes focused on the two that appeared gently glowing in divinity.

[Decay]

Level Requirement: 50

Requirements: Asai

Stats

[Reset] Blade condition resets upon sheathe

[Decimate] 100% of caster's normal attack to AOE zone

: Full Moon / Half Moon / Eclipse

The first item was a katana of equal length and design to [Ruin] albeit having a pristine white finish upon the blade that swirled like waves.

Perhaps he could even consider it to be the sister blade, clearly whoever owned this dungeon capitalized on the fact that he was now in need of a weapon, strong enough to host [Solar Eclipse] and it's violent properties.

[Skill Book: Gender Switch]

Level Requirement: 20

Stats

[Changes caster sex to :Male/Female]

[Limitation: Once per day; [100] MP cost]

[Skill Book Usage Count: 1]

"Asai~ I guarantee your breasts will be at least E cup! and your ass will be thick and curvy~" Kami whispered into the man's ear as his eyes lingered upon the skill book. Which appeared almost like any other old book you'd find, apart from the subtle hint of divinity that flickered.

Instantly passing on his second option, and picking up [Decay] Asai had instantly solved his little sword-problem.

"Kami, if you don't mind me asking. Are the rewards based on our performances?"

"Yep."

"Also, what are you the deity of?"

"Fertility~"

"Got it. Thanks."

Leaving the chest, Asai also noticed another dozen-thousand silvers automatically stored into his [Inventory]

Robin approached the chest next, as she solidly held onto her position as Asai's best knight.

[Scroll: The origins of Asai De Trichia]

Level Requirement: 15

[Kami's breastmilk]

Level Requirement: 5

Requirements: None

[Increases breast size by two cup sizes]

[Skill Book: Heavenly Relic]

Summon a 15m tall ancient relic, deals 250% magical attack +100% of [Faith]

Skipping over the two prior options as they weren't combat orientated, Robin Sol's soft fingers went to pluck up the skill book which instantly liquidized and seeped into her body. Granting her the new skill as her brain flickered, assaulted by the sudden entry of information and muscle-memory.

Also finding a thousand silvers stored into her guild card, which she only utilized as a wallet. The half-elf happily hopped over towards Asai who was playing around with two katanas, striking awkward poses as he struggled to dual-wield efficiently.

"Want to see my new skill?"

Hearing such a question, Asai's attention instantly shifted over. Wondering as to why he didn't receive a new skill, as such a thing was always welcome. "Please, show me."

Robin's golden eyes flickered with delight as the others also paused in their tracks to witness it.

[Heavenly Relic] !

A towering relic, shaped in the form of the holy cross materialized within the skies above before falling. Rapidly gaining speed as it soon flew past their platform, sending gusts of wind into their faces before pulverizing the ground below. Wrecking and destroying the red tori gates below as a blast of divinity covered the area.

"Holy crap... Robin, do me a favour and never use that skill unless you're sure there won't be any friendly-fire..."

Robin nodded fervently, as she continued to peer over the ledge and witness the destruction her new skill delivered.

Equally leaning over the edge, and observing the dust and lingering mana particles fade. Asai's thoughts went back towards his meeting with the girl, who was now crucial to his entirety. A life with Robin, Asai simply wasn't able to imagine it, nor did he want to.

For anyone who wants an example of the skill:

But imagine it to be pristine-white/marble/statue like. No fancy decorations.

Also, the height comparison to humans:

The poll closed at 9 for Mel, 19 against.
