'Why is it a sigh to come out!
　Yeah, that's good.
　'Is it my imagination that I feel like I'm being made fun of in some way?
　'It's all in your head, my dear, it's all in your head. So what does making the knife float have to do with Aria being a grown-up?

　What are you looking at?　I'm the one who wants that look.

　"Huh.
　Why do you sigh in response to my questions?
　Kakeru doesn't understand.
　What?
　Do you mind?　My verbal magic has been leveled up!　My verbal magic, which has only worked on people before, has finally begun to work on things!　This is more proof than anything else that I've grown and matured on a soul level!　But... but...　She has the gentleness of a holy mother who takes care of an older man in a stupor.　Huh?　Isn't this me, maybe even God, without it?
　Hey, I think you just said something incredibly important.
　'What?　What is it?
　It sounded like it's only ever worked on people, right?
　Oh.

　Son of a b*tc*. You little shit. He just came out with a hell of a statement.
　Yesterday he was like, "Let me show you the power of being a god! Or, "How can I, a god, be afraid of the extent of monsters! Even though he was snapping at them by saying yada yada yada, how could it be that the source of his confidence, his verbal magic, didn't work on the monsters?

　''Is that why you were so scared of monsters?''
　'What?　What are you talking about?　I'm not spooked.
　'It's too late!　You didn't want to go on a quest until yesterday, did you?　You seemed happy when you found out there were no affordable quests!　That's because you knew that your favorite verbal magic wouldn't work on monsters!
　....
　Hey, say something.
　Huh.
　Huh?
　''Hmmm ... I'll admit I was afraid of the monsters!　I'll also admit that until yesterday, my verbal magic only worked on things that could understand the human language!　But... but...　I was afraid of the past!　Now my verbal magic has been upgraded to the point where it can interfere with everything!　I mean, I am God!　Come on, Kakeru!　Let's go on a quest!　I, God, will show you my power!
　....

　Godd*mn, he's starting to come back to me.
　...Well, let's stop getting upset and just chill out. He's older than me, after all.
　It's a good thing that this cocky, scared little loli is now willing to take on monsters.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you. .........hmm?　Leveling up?

　Hey Aria. How did you level up if you didn't even kill the monster?
　'What?　You eat Malmedri's meat every day, right?　Have you forgotten what your guild sister said?　Are you stupid?
　Okay, you won't be spending any money this month.
　'I'm sorry, that was too much!　I apologize!　I'm sorry!　So please give me an allowance.

　Hmmm, a kid on a roll.
　I remember what the lady at the reception desk said.
　I think.

　For example, if you defeat a monster, a part of that monster's soul will be absorbed into your soul plate, or if you eat something, a part of that soul will be collected in your plate, and so on, just by living your daily life and adventuring life, your soul will accumulate in this soul plate.

　It was.
　I've yet to defeat a single monster, but what we eat every day is the meat of the monster Malmedri. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
　I'm not sure if this means....

　''Whoa!　It means you can finally use the magic you've always wanted!
　Hey! Don't yell at me!　You'll be surprised.
　Yeah, I'm sorry. But I can't get all this tension out of my system!　Hey, Alia!　How are you going to learn magic and skills?
　'Pfft, Kakeru is older than me and you don't even know that?　If you get down on your knees one more time, I can think about it, okay?
　"Pocket money.
　Then you can bring up the soulplate first.
　Good.

　I made the soul plate appear in front of me.
　Come to think of it, I haven't seen this since that time when I became an adventurer.

　'If Kakeru hasn't learned a skill or magic yet, I believe the skill or magic that can be learned appears in white in the 'learnable' section.
　Oh, here it is. There are two things called 'Accel' and 'Soul Search'.
　'The number next to the name of that skill is the number of points you need to learn that skill. Kakeru is probably at the same level 3 as me, and I can allocate 6 points, so you can do whatever you want to learn that skill or not.
　''How. Can't you see the effects of that skill or something?
　Touch the letters of the skill and you'll see what effect it has on you.
　I see.

　I touched the letters floating on the soul plate, just as Aria had said.

　Skill 'Accel' - Need 3 points to learn
　Double your running power. Acceleration. You can only learn this skill for things with high running power.

　Unique Skill "Soul Search" Requires 3 points to acquire.
　Capable of sensing the souls that exist around it.　The ability to search for enemies.　≪Only objects with the "Soul Blessing" can learn it.

　Hey, hey, I'm pretty good at learning skills, aren't I?

　I got excited when I saw the effects of the skills I could learn.
　Aria peered at my soulplate from beside me.

　''Indeed. If you use 'Accel', you'll be able to disrupt the monster, and if you use 'Soul Search', you'll be able to avoid danger by detecting the surrounding threats as quickly as possible.

　This guy said something decent, as usual.

　'You're right!　But I wish I'd used magic or something.
　''Well, it can't be helped. Your skills and magic depend on the blessings you have.
　What do you mean?
　We'll see an example of this in a few minutes.

　Aria said with an absent heart.

　'What are you?'
　'Humph!　Then you beg me, God, to teach you!　I'm teaching Kakeru, who has no knowledge of the subject, so here's your tuition!　Come on, make it quick, please!
　"Pocket money.
　Except for magic and skills up to the intermediate level, you can only learn things that match your blessings and status. For example, anyone with magic power can learn the beginner's level of magic (Fireball) to the intermediate level of magic (Firestorm), but to learn the higher level of magic, the advanced magic, you need to have a blessing related to 'fire'.

　I want to slap this loli who tries to mount me as soon as I show an opening.
　But still, only things that match your blessings and status, huh? ≪The "Soul Search" has a "Unique Skill" attached to it, right? That's what you're talking about.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're talking about.　And it's obviously a special kind of magic.
　That's right. The Spirit of Speech magic is a unique magic that can only be used by me who has the "Language Blessing"!　What do you think?　Isn't it great?
　Yeah, great, great. Good.

　I lightly brushed aside Aria's face, which had gone from a scowl to a disgruntled look, and learned the skill I'd longed for.
