Chapter 107: Volume 2 - CH 107

We managed to get through the raid from Lequam and were driving the wagon to the Kingdom of Garott.

Now it’s me taking the reins of the wagon and walking the Starhorse.

It was a good thing that Uchikage had taught me how to operate the carriage before I came here.

After all, everything is an experience.

Even skills and hobbies that you thought you would never be able to use are sometimes very useful in unexpected ways.

In this world…… or any world, there is no such thing as waste of skills.

Not much time had passed since the last battle, but Zero Tobori seemed to have been completely befriended by Alena and Satella.

At first, they were wary of him, but with his natural clumsiness, they became friends with him.

Well, I guess they recognized him as an amusing person.

The three of them are making a lot of noise in the carriage, but Uchikage still hasn’t woken up.

I think all the wounds on his body have been healed and he has recovered from fatigue by the 【Great Heal】, but …….

Well, probably outside of that battle.

I guess he’s exhausted mentally.

I’ll let him sleep peacefully until he wakes up.

But I hope he”ll be up by nightfall. ……

Actually, I’m tired too.

Of course I need to rest, but most of all I need help with the night encampment.

I know it sounds pathetic, but I still can’t handle it all on my own.

I’m not sure if Reizen can handle it.

I can tell by the clothes he was wearing just a few moments ago.

In case you are wondering, Reizen is now wearing the extra clothes that we kept in the carriage.

The top is a long beige shirt.

Since it goes to his knees, it would have looked sloppy if he had been wearing it down, so I tied it up tightly with a black waist belt.

This would make him look a little better.

She is wearing maroon trousers underneath.

In this way, he does not look like a shabby person.

Reizen, who likes cool things, didn’t seem to like this outfit very much, but since it was the only one available, he compromised.

When we return to the Kingdom of Garot, I’ll ask Asure to get something nice for him.

Alena was not allowed to stay in her slave clothes either, so I had her put on clothes that Satella had with her.

In fact, it would have been better to have her change her clothes yesterday, but I had forgotten all about it because of the …… 【 Sanctification】 and the children.

I was ashamed of myself.

The clothes that Satella had were good clothes, relatively speaking, since they had been procured in the Kingdom of Garot.

Both clothes are a combination of beige and shades of skin color, but they have buttons and ribbons, so they are not dull-looking outfits.

They are so close to identical that sometimes it is hard to tell which is which.

Well, I can tell by their height difference. ……

After a while, I heard no more voices from the carriage.

When I looked to see what had happened, I found that they had both fallen asleep.

They must have been exhausted from the excitement.

After putting them to sleep, Zero Tobori jumped out of the carriage and sat down next to me.

“They finally went to sleep.”

“Sorry for the trouble. What’s the matter? For someone who was so perplexed, you’ve gotten used to things.”

“Is that so? I was able to get along with them because they were so friendly.”

Well, maybe that’s true.

But he handled the kids a lot better than I did.

I’m not going to say it out loud because it would sound like he’s going to get carried away!

“What has Aniki been up to?　It seemed like you were involved in a lot of things. …… I’m sure it’s not easy to make enemies in less than a month after being reborn, is it?

“Geh,……, you hit me right where it hurts. I’ve been through a lot.

“I’m curious!”

It was nothing to hide, so I decided to tell him everything anyway.

I told them about how I had left Reizen, went ashore, and built a house.

That I fought a powerful enemy and was blown up.

I met Alena and she helped me escape from the slave trader who had captured me.

I also met an Oni and almost got into a war.

The rest was in the Kingdom of Garott and in the Kingdom of Salettana.

In the conversation, I taught him all about recovery skills and the difference between skills and magic.

I also told him about the dangers of using this skill because Reizen might use them eventually.

I also told him what I have learned from my trip in this world.

However, there is not much I can tell him.

All I could tell him was about races, money, and the existence of royalty and nobility.

I wanted to tell him about the guilds, but I would have to ask Uchikage to explain that to him again.

While I was telling him everything, Reizen was giving me exaggeratedly positive reactions, but I guess this is all just plain.

He was especially excited about the almost war and the rescue of Alena, which he was greatly excited about all by himself.

In addition, I also told him all the statuses I have right now.

Knowing them will make it easier for us to work together in the upcoming battle.

It is important to know the status of your allies.

“Hee~!　So Aniki needs 200 levels to move up to the next evolution!”

“Eh? Don’t tell me, you too?

“Yes! I did my very best!”

“First of all, can I know your status?”

“Sure!”

So Reizen told me his status.

Reizen’s status is like this.

===============

I was blown away when I heard his defense status.

What the hell is this guy?

I mean, his HP is even higher than mine!

What the hell is this guy doing at level 21?　What the hell is going on!

W-wait, I guess I should have a look at my status and compare it to mine for a minute.

I’ve killed some monsters while scavenging for food, too, and that’s why I’m a little higher level.

Let’s check again.

===============

Name : Ouren

Race : Wave Snake

LV : 34/200

HP : 376/376

MP : 478/478

Attack Power : 555

Defense : 464

Magic Strength : 640

Agility : 476

===============

Yeah, I still have a lot more skills than him, but his HP and defense are off the charts.

That’s a hella off …….

I’m pretty sure Uchikage’s attack power was around 2,000.

His defense is even greater than Uchikage’s attack power. ……?

He really would be a walking fortress, wouldn’t he?

This is definitely a guy you don’t want to make into your enemy.

But thanks to the distinctiveness of his skills, he has decided on his fighting style.

He says he can get by with a lot of force, but, well, I guess he really can get away with it.

Reizen’s status shows that very clearly.

There are so many more skills than there used to be.

Why in the world do they have kanji and English skills ……?

I don’t know if it’s to suit me, but Japanese …… has a lot of kanji.

I guess it’s easy to understand, though.

Nah, all my skills were in Kanji.

There is no English …….

Reizen, you’ve become an extraordinary species.

Even from the name, it looks dangerous.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to beat Reizen.

Reizen is just plain strong. Seriously.

“That’s a hell of a defense.”

“I know! That’s why I’ve lost most of my senses. …… Even when I hold something, it feels like I’m not holding anything.”

“Too much defensiveness is also a problem.”

“It’s true. I think there is a problem with my automatic self-enhancement skills.”

“What kind of skill is it?”

“Simply put, it doubles my defense.”

“…”

I could not say anything.

When I asked him for more details, he told me that the self-enhancement skill increases one’s hardness depending on the situation.

However, since it is a skill that is activated unconsciously, he does not know whether or not he is activating it.

It is possible to intentionally disable the skill, but unexpectedly, it is triggered again.

When I asked him how he knows whether he is activating or not when he is unconscious, he said that when he is not activating, he can feel something touching him.

When it is not activated, he says he can feel something firmly touching him, but when it is activated, he feels nothing.

The conditions for activation seem to be really irregular, and it seems that he has not fully grasped them yet.

I was surprised to see that Reizen was doing a lot of research on skills.

I hardly study skills at all.

At best, I just check how much MP is consumed.

I took a little bit of a fresh perspective on Reizen.

You can do it if you try.

“That’s a tricky skill to learn.”

“Heh, heh~”

“Ouren-aniki is very average, isn’t he? You seem to have no weak points.”

“That’s right. That is why I don’t know how to improve it. As you saw in the earlier battle, I can go both long range and close range.”

“Isn’t it better to be versatile?”

“Isn’t that a little awkward?”

“But isn’t it cool?”

Ah, I guess the standard of Reizen is cool or lame.

Well, it is certainly not impractical to use versatile attack styles.

At long range, the 【Water Spear Volley】 and the 【Reamed Water Spear】 are very useful.

In close combat, …… I haven’t used it yet, but I think I could use the 【Wave Fist】.

And there is an automatic skill called 【Defense Penetration】.

If I could give even a single blow, it would almost certainly disable the opponent.

The person who gets hit may be killed, though.

There are other skills that seem to be strong, but …… I haven’t been able to use them all because they seem too dangerous.

I don’t want to get my …… allies involved.

However, there were problems with both long-range and close-range attacks.

First, in the case of long-range attacks.

It is true that it is very useful in battle, as it is safe and suitable for covering up.

However, my MP is too low.

If my MP runs out, I can’t use it, and if I push too hard, I will run out of MP and cause trouble for my allies.

Some of the skills I have now can normally take 100 MP.

Considering this, I would like to have more MP.

It is also possible that there will be enemies in the future that cannot be fought with only those two skills.

Under the current circumstances, I still cannot place too much faith in long-range offensive skills.

Next is the case of a close attack.

It is dangerous because I have to confront the enemy head-on.

But in my case, if an attack comes in, I can bring them to a fatal wound.

It consumes very little MP, and if something happens, I can easily prevent the attack with other skills.

But …… I know very little about close combat fights.

I have never crossed swords with a sword or even seen a scene like that.

Simply put, I’m an absolute amateurat that.

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to handle it.

So it is certainly possible to be a versatile person who can use both of them to compensate.

But both are still less precise, and my mind is not fast enough to handle both.

It is still possible to compensate for one of them, but it is very difficult to compensate for both of them.

But even if I said so, the enemy would not wait for me.

There is no other way but to improve,…… but now I was wondering which line of attack to take.

Close combat only, long-range combat only,…… or both?

I’m at a loss.

“I’m sure Ouren-aniki can do it!”

“Easy for you to say ……. So?　What have you been doing since then?

“Now it’s my turn!　Let’s see. Since I parted ways with Aniki~…….”

As if looking back, Reiaen looked up at the sky and began to talk happily.
