The room assignments have been made and we will be meeting from the time we get dressed until dinner. Now that everyone's level is up, we want to go over the new skills.

　Everyone has a license and each of us opens a page of skills. The reactions are different -- even Elitia's eyes light up at this moment.

　-- but the expression on her face was never just bright. The skills of the Carth Blade must still involve a lot of risk.



　Skills Acquired

　Support defense1 Support attack1 Support recovery1 Support uplift1
　Eagle's Eye Backstand

　Skills that can be acquired

　Skill Level 2
　Supportive Attack 2: Adds a weapon attack of your own to the attack of the companion in front of you.
　Supportive Defense 2: Adds a wall to the companion in front of you equal to your own defense ability.

　Skill Level 1.
　Support Magic 1: Overlays the magic of the companion in front of you at 50% magic consumption and power.
　Assistive Evasion 1: The companion in front of you rarely activates 'Absolute Evasion'.
　Rear Front: Spends 5 points of magic to extend vision to the rear for a set amount of time.
　Other Assist: Spends 5 points of magic to select a target outside of your party to assist.
　Backdraft: Automatically counterattacks when attacked from behind.

　Remaining Skill Points: 3

　The second stage of the support system skill can finally be obtained - from the contents, it seems that the effect of the support changes depending on my ability.

(This would make me weaker if my attacks are under 10 fixed damage... but if it's a weapon attack, the attributes will ride on it, and my sling will be useful if it can lightly exceed 10 damage.)

　If the skills I acquired were overwritten and 'Support Attack 1' and 'Support Defense 1' could no longer be used, and my own support correction from attack and defense was less than 11, my support effect would be temporarily weakened.

　However, as the damage numbers get larger in the future, my attacks will undoubtedly jump up the damage with my attacks on top of them, rather than the fixed damage of 10. The total number of moves I can earn instantly with the total party is currently close to 20, but with a fixed 11 damage x 20 and a hypothetical 15 damage x 20, the total amount of damage dealt will change by 80 in total.

　I'm not sure if it's too early to take it yet - will the support of the same system overlap or not, or will it only be more effective if you get it later? Another test would be necessary.

'Rear-kun, can you take a look at my skills too?　I need your advice on which one to take....
'Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about it. Elitia, there are levels of skill, aren't there?
'You can now get skill level 2?　Congratulations. But you'll need the same number of points to get it as the level, so be careful.

　I see, so the amount of skill points you get for leveling up has increased by 1, since you'll be spending more. Then, will I be able to get 4 or 5 of those points per level?

　If you believe that the more points you need, the more powerful your skills are, then let's take 'Support Attack 2' first. If I can increase the types of attribute attacks, then the attacks won't be able to get through at all and the support will be useless - after thinking about it, I realized something.



　Not only that, but if you can give them state disorders in addition to poison, all members will be able to fight while their opponents are disabled, regardless of their equipment.

　Then there's "Support Magic 1", which will be very useful when a powerful wizard-type role is added to the team. If you can use recovery magic as well, it has a wide range of uses. Igarashi's Thunderbolt is the only one that seems to be applicable, so it's not necessary at this point.

　Other Assist depends on how you use it, but it's an interesting skill. Support Evasion 1' is also appealing, but I'll put it on hold for now since it's a good defensive tool.

"Sorry for the wait, Igarashi-san.
Yes, then please. It looks like I can get these skills...

　Igarashi-san is back to the way she looked when she was just reincarnated, in a sweater and skirt. She still can't get used to the feel of the clothes she bought in Labyrinth Country, and Misaki and Suzuna were also in their civilian clothes when they were reincarnated.

　Skills Acquired ◆.

　Double Attack Thunderbolt
　Blink Step Decoy Doll

　Skills that can be acquired

　Penetrating Attack 1: When equipped with a spear, some of the blows ignore the enemy's defenses.
　Decoy: Attract enemy attacks to the used target.
　Brave Mist: Removes fear from allies.
　Freeze Thorn: Freezes enemy legs and slows them down.
　Snowy Skin: will no longer be frozen and will be more attractive.
　Bullet Repellent 1: Makes enemies' indirect attacks a little harder to hit.

　Remaining skill points: 2

'The penetration attack is good, isn't it? The decoy is also a very versatile skill. I'd mainly use it in combination with a decoy doll.
'Yes, well you're right. You don't need 'snowflake skin' as your rear end...
What is that skill that could make you a beautiful woman? I like it. I want that skill too.
'I don't think you can be a Valkyrie from a gambler. I suppose you can be a Valkyrie from a priestess, though.
Wow, is that me?　

　Suzuna seems to be reasonably interested in it too. Granted, both Misaki and Suzuna are young, so their skin is fresh and looks perfect, both shiny and supple. It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend. There are times when I'm in a position to It's probably because exploring is a good exercise and there's no stress at all.

''Well Igarashi-san, since penetrating attacks aren't even essential yet with my support, let's take the 'Skin of the Snow Country'
Are you sure?　Oh no, I'm just being selfish....
If you feel that this is absolutely necessary for the search, I would strongly ask you to do the same. I'd like you to keep 'Decoy', but there's no absolute rule for the others... Above all, I don't think it's a good idea to ask you to hold back when it's a skill Igarashi-san wants to get on her own.
Well, um ... well, I'll take 'Decoy' and 'Skin of the Snow Country' then.

　While everyone was watching, Igarashi-san operated the license - and then.

''........Did something change?　I knew it wasn't something that would make a visible difference.

'Yes, well it's still Igarashi-san, but it's got something of a style to it.
'I know you're looking out for me by saying that. I was naive to think it would be so easy to get clean...I have to be sorry.
'Why don't you check it out for yourself?　And it's better to see for yourself, Kyouka.

　After being told by Elitia, Igarashi-san heads to the restroom with a look of half-belief.

".........A warrior maiden (Valkyrie) standing on a snowy battlefield. So the 'Skin of the Snow Country' is a skill that gives you that impression.

　As Suzuna commented, Igarashi-san was originally a beautiful woman, but she added a full-blown warrior girl feel to it, or rather, the charm of a fighting woman.

　The returning Igarashi-san has a disappointed look on her face. However, her skin looks toned up, or rather, white and glistening, as I see it. It's not that it's shiny.

"After all, I don't think you've changed much, but... what do you think, Rearward-kun?
''Well, um ... Igarashi-san has always been beautiful, so she doesn't change much.
Well, it's nice to know you care, but not as much as I expected. We'll just have to hope that it will prevent the freeze and I'll leave the skills to your rear end from now on.

　If she was not aware of it even though it was working, would the change in attraction be something that only the people around her could see? If that's the case, Igarashi-san would be happy to know the usefulness of the skill when she prevented a freezing attack, as she said.

　From the text of 'Decoy', it's a great power when it's effective against an enemy, but is it possible to get a skill that useful at level 3? I'd like to verify this with weak enemies - I'd feel a little sorry for Watadama if I saw him being attacked by his friends, for example.

''Well Arihito, I'm sure you wouldn't mind seeing the skills of a position like mine, but if you'd like, can you take a look at them later?''
'It's not that I'm unenthusiastic, but I think I'd be overwhelmed if I saw Elitia's skills.
'Well well if you don't mind, I want you to know that you're the leader. I'm a little tired right now, so I'm sorry, but I need to rest.
'Yes, I'll wake you up for dinner. Good night, Miss Ellie.

　Elitia was greeted by everyone and went to her room with a small wave of her hand. The room assignment is a combination of me and Suzuna, Igarashi-san and Theresia, Misaki and Elitia.

''Isn't your brother tired by now?　Then I wish I could talk to you about it another day.
'Misaki-chan, I'll ask you at night, why don't you ask Aricht-san now?'
Oh, really?　Brother, which skill do you think is best for you?
'Well before you do that, you can sit beside me, but you don't have to be so attached, do you?'
Oh, my brother is embarrassed. Even if there's an age difference between us, we're not twice as far apart, does that mean that he's aware of me too?
Even though they're not twice as far apart, a twenty-nine year old guy and a high schooler are a crime, no matter how you look at it.
'Well, I've been reincarnated, so it doesn't matter, does it?'
''Well that's........we have to respect Aricht-san's way of thinking. We're still kids in your eyes, so...

　Misaki isn't happy and Suzuna is kind of reserved. I'm not treating them as children, but it can be taken that way, and it's a difficult problem to solve.

'I know Misaki is old enough to be interested in that sort of thing, but I don't admire you making fun of someone as serious as you are, Rear,'
'I wasn't thinking about anything bad, I simply wanted to say that if you were my brother, I wouldn't mind getting attached to you so much. Do you understand?
''Ah........Misaki-chan. Theresa-san is watching you too, so....
..........

　Theresa, who is present, looks at Misaki. As if she felt something in the pressure, Misaki took an appropriate distance from me with a poke.

''Well, you see, this is my skill...''
Well, you finally hit the nail on the head. It's good that you can read the atmosphere.
Kyouka-san, you're being too possessive of your brother just because you're beautiful!
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the house. I'm going to take a look inside the mansion for a bit, Rear-kun, so take care of these kids.
Yes, yes ... go ahead.

　Igarashi-san got up from her seat and walked out. As she walked with the clunking of her heeled boots, there was something that could be seen even behind her back, probably due to the fact that she had taken on the 'skin of the snow country'.

''........She's really beautiful, isn't she? Big brother, how do you feel about it, frankly?
'If you ask me to be frank, all I can say is that she was a beautiful woman with a reputation in our company, and she was popular with the male employees...'
''Arihito-san, it may be my nosiness, but please follow Kagamika-san. There are other party members in this mansion as well, so I think you'll need a male escort.
Yeah, is that right?
That's right - beautiful women are always a target. You'd think it would be safe in a mansion, but there might be women with that kind of taste.
''Mi, Misaki-chan that's not nice, no matter how much it costs, it's disrespectful to the people who work here.

　For some reason, Misaki, Suzuna, and even Theresa are all in the air to let me go.

　If you're going to say that much, I'll just follow you. I don't know what kind of face I should put on and say 'I'm here to escort you' or something like that.
