When I hear those words, I am astonished.
　I looked at Issa's status.
　I think the level was 19/34.
　I didn't know what Issa's original level was, so I wasn't sure if it had gone up at the time.

'It really went up, so watch it!

　Once again, Issa licks the red water.
　Then, guess what?
　The level written on Issa's status changed from 19/34 to 21/34.

'Hey, this water is amazing!　If you drink them all, you'll get to the maximum level!　You should try it, Rico-neechan!

　Issa fetches a cup and hands it to me.

　I take the cup, scoop up the red water, and drink it.

　It tasted very good. It tasted like sweet strawberry juice.
　When I finished the glass, I felt something like a tremendous amount of power coming from deep within my body.
　And then.

Level has been raised from one to 41.

　And a machine-like sound came out.
　This was the first time I heard the sound of a level increase.

　Oh, I hadn't heard it before because Tetsuya-san doesn't go above level 1. When you go up to level 1, you can hear voices like this.
　Well, you can only hear voices when you raise your ability with your skills. It's strange, isn't it? Whose voice is it? God?

　Sorry, I'm getting off track.

　I was already upset about that, because it took a cupful, about half of the whole amount to get her to this level.

　The other half, Issa drank and she leveled up to her limit level.

'What would happen if I drank all of this?'
Can't you give me another one?
''Well... [rainbow colored divine water]!

　I said, but no red water came out. Or rather, all the water that was coming out is gone.
　Once again, all but the red water came out, except for the red water.

'Could it be that if you drink it once, you can't drink it anymore...?'
Yeah, that's a big deal... hmm?

　I looked closer and saw that where there had been red water earlier, there was tiny little red water.
　It was really a little bit of water, but the water was expanding.

　I found out later that this was the case, but the water would increase even when I wasn't putting it out. It takes about five days for it to return to its original size after you've drunk it all.

Let's see what else happens with the water!
Yeah, I guess so.

　Issa's suggestion and I took her up on it.
　I still remember how excited I was to find out that I had such a strange and powerful power.

　I tried other waters as well.

　Red.

【Effect】Every two hours, your HP goes up dramatically.
Tastes like a grape.
　Purple.
[Effects] Eliminate hunger. You won't have to eat as much because you'll have taken in proper nutrition.
No taste.

　It looked like this.
　Purple was the only thing I tried to drink at first when I wasn't hungry, so I thought it was tasteless and useless water, but later I realized it was a waste of water.

　As I recall, we went hunting in the forest and I was hungry and was trying to get some food. First I noticed when Issa said she was thirsty and I gave her some purple water that I thought she couldn't use.
　A little lick of it quenched her hunger and she didn't have to eat anything.

　I don't taste it, so I still want to eat something, but still, as long as I have this purple water, I don't have to starve, which is a huge relief.
　If I had realized this earlier, I wouldn't have starved so much in the first place.

　Then I would have continued to live for a while.
　My skills have made my life a lot easier.
　My ability to hunt is much easier because I can be strong, and even if I don't get anything, as long as I have purple water, I can stave off hunger, so my ability has been very useful.

　Then one day while I was hunting, something suddenly hit me in the head. That's when I passed out, and that's when I noticed the engraving on the back of my right hand.

　Maybe the one who made me faint at that time was the black knight that Tetsuya-san mentioned. It was pretty creepy, since I hadn't had any after-effects since I fainted and nothing in particular since then, but I decided not to worry too deeply about it.

　Then I definitely feel like the potency of the water has gone up.

　Come to think of it, it was only after that that the new potency of red water was discovered.
　This can't be done by anyone other than me, but if you drink a lot of red water, your limit level goes up.
　Now I'm not at my limit level of 48, I'm at a higher level, I think it's 73. The level is the same number. So it's pretty strong.

　As I said earlier, strangely enough, they don't raise the limit level of anyone but me. I guess it's like a skill user's privilege?

　I didn't really care about the Black Knight, I lived my life without any particular concern for him.
　Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live like this for the rest of my life, I thought, when

Rico, you'd better get out of this house.

　Isabella told me so.
