Chapter 4: 4 Episode 4 "Aiming for'skills to live without working'".txt

Slaves don't count as guests.

They're treated as their master's possessions, so they can't stay in separate rooms, apparently.

So we were shown to a single room in a corner on the second floor.

"The debt is paid, Ashtarte. Are you satisfied?

"I bless you.

A faint voice replied, like it was echoing in the distance.

'Cecil and ...... thou.'

"Nagi - Nagi. Souma Nagi.

'Bless Nagi and Cecil's future. Make them happy. ...... I want ......

My voice slowly fades away.

Finally, Ashtarteh told me about my "Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure".

''Ability Rebuild LV1.''

The concept of skills can be reconfigured to create new skills.

Skills can be expressed in sentences such as "......" makes (to) "......" and "......".

A minimum of two skills are required to reconstruct a skill.

The recombined skill is leveled to level 1, regardless of its original level.

It is not possible to rebuild a skill once it has been rebuilt.

The skills you have and the skills of your contracted slaves will be the only skills you can rebuild.

If the skill is in the body of both master and slave, it will be easier to rebuild it, making it more powerful. This is due to the special effects created by the mixing of each other's magical powers.

...... Surprisingly, there were many restrictions.

It makes sense that the skills you recombine would be level 1.

I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it. The laws of the universe would be disrupted.

Also, you can't alter someone else's skills without permission.

You can use the skills you have now, or you can buy them somewhere else ...... and then you can go to .......

So you have no choice but to tweak ...... Cecil's skills.

I saw Cecil sitting on the floor.

I told him he could sit on a chair or bed.

He straightens up and stares at me nervously.

'Um, can I talk to you?'

Okay.

Bikun, Cecil nods as he sits up. His ears are twitching up and down. Cute.

'Ashtarte seems to have disappeared, are you okay?

Yes ......

Cecil held his small chest and let out a long breath.

'Much better, sir. He said that one day this would come, so...'

Apparently, for Cecil, Ashtarteh was like a guardian god.

As a survivor of the demon race, Cecil's family lived in hiding in the mountains.

But two years ago, he got involved in a fight between humans and his family was killed.

They were sold to slavers, and from then on, the voice of Ashtarthae was Cecil's only hope.

'Someday I'll find someone who will take care of you,' Ashtarteh said. Every time I moved from town to town, this time ...... this time. I didn't believe in it anymore, even at .......

Tears spilled from Cecil's bright red eyes.

''I finally met someone that Ashtarteh recognized. I look forward to working with you in the future. Master.

No master, please.

I feel like a criminal when that kind of thing is said to a vine elf type girl.

'I'm fine with Nagi,'

Yes, Mr. Nagi!

I stroked Cecil's collar, which sounded like Cecil Haririn, lovingly.

'I know it's a bit late to introduce myself now. I'm Nagi. In this world, Nagi = Soma, I guess. You may have heard from Ashtarte, but I'm a 'visitor' from another world.

I'm Cecil-Fallot: ......, er, demon, sir.

Cecil squirmed and squirmed.

Mr. Nagi. If you can, please don't mention my name, 'Farot'.

Okay, why?

'We're only supposed to give our demon family names to people who are really close to us. I mean, it kind of tickles me when they call me that.

'Yeah, okay. Cecil-Fallot.

"Huh.

It's okay. I'll keep it a secret, Cecil-Fallot.

'Hi!'

I will not tell anyone. Cecil-fa...

Nagisaamaa: "......

Cecil looked at me resentfully as he rubbed his knees together.

Sorry. It was getting kind of fun.

'Anyway. I won't do anything horrible just because I'm from another world, so you can rest assured that I won't do anything terrible. I promise.

...... is yes. Nagi is the one who helped me. So I believe.

That's good.

You don't know many people in this world, so you have to help them.

''But Nagi-sama, that's great. You have enough rare skills to sell, don't you, Nagi-sama?

I made that one with my unique skills.

'It's more than that!　Being able to create rare skills is like having a treasure trove of them!

'No, I'm not selling rare skills anymore.

...... Why?

'If they find out that I can create rare skills at will, it's going to get me in trouble.

This time, "I came from the East. Rare skills are a memento of my grandfather" ...... probably convinced me.

You can only use a hand like that once.

If the same person, over and over again, came to sell a rare skill, it would indeed stand out.

On top of that, in this world, not just skills, but even people themselves are bought and sold.

This one is unfamiliar with this world.

If I get trapped in a trap and end up selling 'ability rebuilding', that's the end of it. I will be less than a normal person. After that, the worst thing that could happen is that I could be sold as a slave myself.

It's better to make money out of your rare skills, not sell them. If possible, it's best to create skills that allow you to make money without working.

'Nagi-sama's goal is to live a normal, happy life, right?

Yeah, but that's not all.

I think you should tell Cecil about this.

My, my true purpose in this world.

Cecil, sitting on the floor, gulps.

My purpose, that is.

Low fuel consumption and high power. Minimal effort, maximum results. Survive as normal in this world with as little effort as possible.

...... Mr. Nagi, what did you say?

Hide your abilities. When you are offered a job, don't accidentally say 'I can do it'. Get creative and clear the jobs that seem to pay well, save your money, and then figure out a way to live without working too much.

With all your skills?

If you carelessly say, 'I can do this,' you're going to look terrible: ......

It was a mistake for me to say "I'm good at computers" at my previous place of employment.

They made me buy a book with my own money, thinking that if I could make a website as well as a computer, I could make a reasonably good-looking page, and I was about to quit my part-time job when they asked me, "Well, who's going to make this page? Update?　Isn't that the basis of working life, not bothering the people you work for?　Ahhhh! I refused to go to work and my cell phone kept ringing and they even picked me up at home.

When I said I'd talk to the Labor Standards Bureau, it stopped, but the last thing she said was "You're a coward!　Scum! It was. I don't understand.

...... Did Nagi-sama come from a world ruled by a demon king?

Cecil is surprised.

I was in what is supposed to be a civilized world.

'Anyway, when you're trying to please people and you accidentally show them 100 percent, they start to take it for granted. They get used to it and demand 120 percent. If you keep giving it to them, they're going to run out. You have to give people 40 percent of what you're doing, and that's just fine.

This one is non-negotiable.

Hide your abilities, don't show your power, and get through the rest by being creative.

Even with any cheat skill, people will get used to it eventually.

'There's a parable in my world that goes something like this.

It is the useless tree that can get its life span straightened out.

A straight tree is cut down and made into furniture.

An upright tree is cut down and made into a ship.

A fruitful tree has its branches broken off and is taken away.

Greasy trees are cut down and used for firewood.

Pretend as much as possible that you are useless to others.

Then you will manage to live in peace.

In other words, 'Let's hide our power and pretend to be useless to get through the world.'

'...... Huh. As Nagi-sama said, it's not very cool.

In other words, 'play for nothing, play for heaven'.

'Suddenly it's cooler!　Huh?　Is that ......?

Cecil's eyes glaze over and he's impressed.

Words are important.

'So. In order to do that, you need to know about this world first.

Finally, we're back to talking.

I didn't just hire Cecil because Ashtarteh asked me to.

It was because I wanted someone who knew this world well to be by my side.

My goal is to survive normally on low fuel consumption, but I don't know what a normal life in this world is like in the first place.

The only things I know at the moment are monetary value, contracts and skills.

That's where Cecil's knowledge becomes important.

''Since there are demon kings and demons, there are adventurers in this world who fight against them, right?

'Yes. They are normal. They're not like soldiers or anything like that, they're people who take on jobs closer to home.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Well, we'll play adventurers, too.

At my words, Cecil nodded his head.

'There are two advantages. You can learn about the geography of this world and everyone's life and culture by completing quests. The other is that we can make use of our skills. How do you think we should do the quests that are as easy and profitable as possible, and then when we have a prospect of making a living, we can think about what to do after that...?

Nagi-sama...... you're from another world and you're realistic.

That's because I was trained in the original world of neglect and black work.

I don't know, but I'm sure you've had a hard time: ......

That goes for Cecil, too.

I can't help but nudge each other with .......

'So, do you still have an adventurer's guild or something?'

Yes, sir.

Then tell me the nearest big city to the royal capital, and tell me where the guild is. That's our next stop.

I won't stay in King's Landing for long.

First of all, there's a possibility that I'm on the king's radar.

Even though I've been thrown out, I'm a person from another world.

I'm not sure what kind of cheat skills I have.

As a king, he would want to at least keep an eye on me.

Secondly, I showed my rare skills to the slavers and skill dealers.

If those guys find out who I am, they might find out about the existence of skills that can create rare skills. Even if they don't, they're probably thinking that I might have other rare skills - at least they're thinking about it.

I think the best thing to do first is to leave here and start over in another big town.

'Okay.'

Cecil is a quick swallow, which helps.

Come to think of it, when I negotiated with the slavers, Cecil was the first to notice my intentions.

Is it the characteristics of the demon race or Cecil's ability?

I'll ask him to tell me the skills and parameters later.

'Speaking of the town closest to the royal capital, it's still Metekal. It's a fortified city two days' walk east of here, with a large adventurer's guild. The commercial city of Metekal is also famous in other countries, and due to its size, I've heard that the lord of the city has its own autonomy.

So we'll see you there.

'Um, Master ...... Nagi.'

Cecil sat on the floor and looked up at me.

Ugh, I'm kind of creeped out.

'Why do you trust me so much?

'Huh?　I thought under the terms of the slave contract, Cecil couldn't disobey if he was ordered to.

That's only if you use the power of the ring to command it.

Oh, yeah.

On the ring finger of my left hand, I have the ring from when I made a contract with Cecil.

Apparently a slave cannot disobey his master if he touches this and gives an order.

"Don't you think I'm trying to lie and cheat you, Nagi-sama?

'No, because I owe Ashtarthae a debt of gratitude, and since we're working together, there's no point in Cecil giving me false information.

Contractually, Cecil can't escape me.

And he can't hurt me, not intentionally.

The deal is that I give him to another human being under the terms of my termination, or until I die.

Or until Cecil finishes paying 120,000 arsha.

This means that Cecil will be offset by the amount of work he did for me. If we do the adventurer's quest together, we'll split the reward and Cecil's share will go to pay 120,000 arsha.

Of course, if Cecil wanted it in cash, that was fine with me.

So, for the time being, Cecil will be with me.

So I can't help but wonder about every single thing: ......

But if you ask me again, I'll tell you why I believe in ...... because we don't owe you anything, right?

Because you don't carry ...... on your back, right?

The king and the chief ...... of the part-time job he had in his former world, as well as some great people, but people who carry an organization on their backs can take advantage of outsiders quite a bit. ......

Using the excuse that it was to protect the organization.

Even the King summoned us from the outside and wanted to use us to protect his people.

"Cecil and I are on our own, and we don't have anything else on our shoulders. We're all about survival, we're all about the same thing. So I knew I could trust you.

...... Nagi-sama.

Cecil sat down on the floor and bowed his head with a chop.

'Thank you!　I'll do my best.

Yeah. So let's get to it.

When we're done talking, I say.

'I'd like you to sit on the bed over there. I'd like you to let me mess with your body.
