"My God-given skills are ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I say this, you can see everyone in the room gasp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Of course, I'm nervous and thirsty too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[Appraisal, All] and [Cut & Paste]."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, everyone except Aisha said, "Oh? A look of surprise comes over his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... hmmm, just like the report I received from the temple, you mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If those are the two skills you were given, that's no reason why the divine beast should have your back, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your brother-in-law asks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Yes, that's true if you look at the two alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The king, the king is called a hero by the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that the main reason for this is the combination of skills he possesses, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I am aware that some people call me that for sure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The king affirmed my words and replied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I also have a ton of skills that, when combined, give me a ton of ability."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, it is true that skills can become more powerful in combination. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't think of any combination of skills that Mine got ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Certainly, without a proper understanding of the individual skill capabilities, it would not have occurred to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a natural reaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I can cut and paste the skills of other people and demons I see in my appraisals and paste them somewhere else."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I told them that, they didn't seem to get it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha and Sylphy thought for a while and then shouted loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They had seen the battle between me and the Orc King firsthand, so I guess they understood what I meant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, sir,...... that's,...... no way,...... that's,...... that's,...... that's,...... that's,...... that's,...... that's,...... that's,...... what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mine!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All but two of them still don't seem to get it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I [cut] the skills of the orc kings and [pasted] them into myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The skill I used to call Fenrir-sama was a skill I got from the Orc-Kings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　　　　！！！！！！

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these words, everyone in the room seemed to understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Everyone had a stunned look on their faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... So that's why you were able to use so many skills during the mock battle with me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seemed to have come to an agreement with my brother-in-law as he recalled the previous mock battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I didn't tell you about my skills because I thought that if people knew about it, they would try to take advantage of me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will explain why I have been silent and why I have been hiding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I told him that I was afraid that people would be afraid of me and avoid me in order to avoid being taken advantage of, and I told him everything that I had been thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Very well, Mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I understand, Mine. ...... Indeed, no wonder the Divine Beast is concerned about you. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Brother-in-law, why didn't you cut the skills out of me during the simulation?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wouldn't that probably have allowed you to beat me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your brother-in-law tells you so, but the answer has been obvious from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"When I cut skills out of people, I go to .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I only do it when my life or the lives of my family members or people I know are in danger!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, my brother-in-law was doing the simulation purely for my sake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I wanted to respond to him fairly and honestly!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I answer him, he smiles and pats me on the back like he did when he came to our house before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not the only one who gets a pat on the head from Fenrir, the child of Fenrir. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I know I keep saying this, but I wish it would stop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......I see, can I trust your word?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know I have no choice but to believe in it, but it is important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want you to answer me in your own words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think the king is concerned about me taking away skills indiscriminately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a natural reaction of a ruler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The main reason I couldn't tell him my secret is because I wasn't sure he would believe me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, it was expected that the king would ask me this question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... So, I responded, praying with all my heart that he would believe me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I will never take skills indiscriminately!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hearing my declaration, the king looks clearly relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I understand well. ......I will believe you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is an unexpected ability. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I can understand the story of defeating the Orc King single-handedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Frankly, I had a hard time believing it when I saw the remains of the Oak King."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a few more questions, we were dismissed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, the kings had the matter of the dragon's child to deal with, and I had just returned from the Spirit Forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The king decided that we needed to take some time and rest here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After Mine's shocking confession, I would have liked to take my time and gather my thoughts, but I had to take care of urgent matters first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a room in the dungeon built under the royal castle to capture violent criminals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Claude, the heir to the House of Roselia, who was captured for cheating in the previous game, is imprisoned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I asked the bailiff as I entered the dungeon with the Knight Commander in tow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Have you vomited?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, not yet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I frown at the bailiff's words and look at Claude, who is chained to the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has probably been beaten with a whip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His expensive clothes are ripped in places, and there is a smear of blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Although he has been imprisoned here for only a short period of time, his appearance indicates that he has undergone considerable interrogation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Normally, we would take more time to get him to talk, but in this case, there is no time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even as we speak, a full-grown dragon may be spotted in a town somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I do not want to see a dragon that has lost its child, that has lost itself in anger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We must release the young dragon at all costs before it does any more damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is no longer the time to choose the means.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Claude, you must be honest and tell us where the young dragons are hidden."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your Majesty! Listen to me! This is a conspiracy! I was set up!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, that commoner Mine and the others set me up!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As Claude was frantically trying to explain himself, I pulled something out of my pocket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As soon as he saw the object, Claude's movements stopped and he suddenly became quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, this is the "slave collar" that Mein gave me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your Majesty, I'll give this to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the "slave collar" that was attached to these children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think they belonged to adventurers Claude hired.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hope it will be of some use to you. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I saw the "slave collar" that Mine had given me, I inwardly let out a small leap of joy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This collar would be the best physical evidence I could ever have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I immediately called up the Knight Commander and had him identify the slaver registered with the royal family from the serial number engraved on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And within 30 minutes I was able to identify the slaver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We did it! Take that slaver into custody immediately!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Go straight to his store and see if there are any juvenile dragons trapped there!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We're running out of time, hurry up!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I ask Claude again, now that he has quieted down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Claude. I ask you again, where is the hiding place of the young dragon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, you still insist on keeping your mouth shut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bailiff, take off one of Claude's fingers."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"！！！！！"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I give the bailiff an emotionless command, and Claude turns his face to me in a panic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... wait! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I don't know anything, I don't know anything!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Please stop, hiii~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you won't talk to me at this point, I don't have a choice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will not relent until you want to talk, that's all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I silently signal to the bailiff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ！！！！ Oh my finger oh my finger oh my finger oh my finger oh my finger oh my finger ！！！！！"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The bailiff, who received the signal, silently cut off one of Claude's fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... How are you doing, are you ready to talk?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ggh ...... kuh ...... hah ...... hah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're very stubborn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, if you admit your guilt, you won't get so much as a finger off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You won't easily admit it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then the knight brought in two men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One was the slaver who had registered the collar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The other is the current head of the Rosella family, Claude's father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your Majesty! Why am I in a place like this......K,Claude！！！！

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why did you do that to me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sir Roselia finds her son bound and tortured and cries out loud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I explain to Sir Roselia everything that has happened up to this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sir Roselia's complexion deteriorates as he understands the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... I suppose that's true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If this is true,...... and it is because it is corroborated, the house of Roselia is definitely going to be destroyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While Sir Roselia and I were talking, the slaver was also taken into custody next to Claude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now, let me ask you again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Where did you hide the baby dragon? Next time, it won't be with one finger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Think carefully before you speak."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm, you two are silent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sir Roselia, would you please convince my son?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you can convince him and tell him where the baby dragon is, I will allow you only the destruction of the House of Roselia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I can't do it with no blame at all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hearing these words, Sir Roselia begins to desperately try to persuade her son.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Looking at the way he is trying to convince his son, it seems that Sir Roselia is definitely not involved in this matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I watch the situation for a while, but since I can't get anywhere, I decide to give the bailiff instructions again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bailiff, take off one of the slaver's fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, take off two of Claude's fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The slaver who hears my voice looks desperate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Claude looks at me with eyes full of hatred.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I ask you again, where are the young dragons!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I say! I'll say it! I'll say it, please give me a break!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... you!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, the slaver's broken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Claude is glaring at the slaver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's good thinking! Now where did you hide it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is the town of Adol. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Adol, of all places. ！！！！

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mean to tell me you hid it in a town with that many people!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's not good, and Adr is too far from the royal capital!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn, there has to be a better way!
