'Excuse me. Sir Luke, Sir Garnett. I hope you don't mind if I talk to you for a moment.
What's going on, Ambrose? Are you in some kind of trouble?
No, I'm just chatting. I'm just chatting about what I've learned from Gandalf and the others at .......

　I tried to encourage him to sit down in a suitable chair, but Ambrose didn't move with his back resting against the wall near the door.

'I was hoping that he wouldn't find out the truth about the skill and block it out, but apparently it was unfounded.
'Come to think of it, you've known about this for some time.
''Ah. There was a time when I was cooperating with research on rainbow scales as a wizard. It was hoped that the research of the skill would improve the efficiency of self-modification. As it turned out, it didn't turn out to be the desired result.

　He keeps the volume of his voice low so that Mark, who is helping him work on the other side of the room, can't hear him.

　A wizard whose main purpose is to do research takes various measures, including the modification of his own body, in order to achieve the realization of his research theme.

　Ambrose is no exception, and his body also seems to have been strengthened with magical beast factors and the like.

''By any chance, the reason why you started studying demonic beasts is because of .......''
'It doesn't matter much. When we started cooperating, we were already modifying to a great extent. But, well, it gave me a chance to give up on ...... skills and consolidate into a single demonic beast.
Is it true what they say about ...... the guy who knows the truth isn't getting any new skills?
I have not identified any cases that can be disproved at this time.

　After all, Ambrose's reply was the same as before.

''But the guys who knew about the hypothesis of the example were all so-called mature users, as almost all of them could not hope to acquire any more new skills. This is the first time I've ever had a developing young man listen to them. Honestly, it's an unknown how it's going to turn out.

　Ambrose's gaze as he said this - as usual, he is hiding his true face with a cloth - seemed to be directed at Garnett, not me.

　Unlike me, who has only gained one skill so far and has no hope for the future, Garnett is only sixteen years old.

　Unless he's an exception like me, he's at an age where it's not surprising that he'll be adding more skills in the future.

　Noticing Ambrose's gaze, Garnett raised the corners of his mouth in a grimace and smiled wryly.

''What's the matter with you? You're not going to be worried about me, a person who is also a knight in shining armor?
I think it's only natural for people to think about their friends' relatives, but is it different with the Silver Wing?
Thank you for that. But I'm just worried about my health. It's not all God and faith and all that, is it?

　Garnett sat down in his chair with his back resting against the front of his body and placed his arms on the top of the backrest and his chin on top of that also.

'Ole's skills are an exposition of passive skills that boost instantaneous muscle strength plus various physical abilities to the bottom. It's a good idea to be able to have the best of both worlds.
'I want a body strong enough to get revenge: ...... So it might reflect such a strong desire.

　When I said just what came into my head, Garnett smiled at me.

　This system of gaining pseudo-magic (skill) through unquestioning belief in the existence of non-existent gods - this system was certainly effective, but it was never the case that the other hand(s) didn't have a hand(s) or a dan(s) (...) to do so (...). ・).

　This is merely an aid to make it easier for any human being to achieve, so to speak.

　Even if you don't believe in the existence of God, if you have a strong will and desire for power, you should be able to obtain a pseudo-magic (skill) in principle.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to do with your faith. It's a job that never stops seeking power, even if you're not a god, so it's better to have a cushion.
Besides, this guy is just my amateurish idea: ......

　Now's your chance. I'm going to share my honest thoughts with you.

It's not necessarily necessary to keep the ...... form of 'give you skills in return for your faith'. For example, the qualities of the skills themselves are inherent in everyone, and they can be learned by training in the corresponding gods, such as .......
Totally ...... apparently it was a really unnecessary concern.

　Ambrose shook his head to the side, his head hidden by the hood and front hanging.

　It was clearly a gesture of dismay, but the brunt of the gesture seemed to be directed not at me or Garnett, but at Ambrose himself, who couldn't foresee our reaction.

'His Majesty the King has no intention of hiding the origin of the skill forever. "His Majesty has no intention of hiding the origin of the skill forever," he said, "and in the future, he wants to create a new system that will allow people to acquire the skill in the same way they have always done, while at the same time not revealing the details of how it came about. The discussions that led up to this conclusion were quite contentious. ...... I can't help but think that I'm getting a bit old and hard-headed, indeed, when it comes to reaching the same conclusion so easily.

　There were a lot of things I wanted to say, like how old you are, and in my case, it's probably a big part of why I lost my faith a long time ago, but I'll keep it to myself for now.

''Sir Luke. Sir Luke," he said, "you may be asked to join us in our research. Your Right Eye of Wisdom may be useful in this kind of research.
Don't do that. It's over capacity, indeed. I'm too busy to die any longer.

　Garnett smirks at me while looking at my bewildered profile.

　The expression on his face is like a laughing cat in a novel book illustration, and then suddenly his smile softens and the hue in his gaze changes to a compassionate one.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any new skills. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.
