208 Episode 208 "Elf Moe Half Elfs Request and How to Prepare for the Correct" Mountain Walk "".txt (2/2)

'My own clan is supposed to make a pilgrimage to the other side of the mountain as a coming of age ritual. I can't tell you all the details because of the family legend.

It's ......, right?

A noble elf ......?

I'm curious, but if I go into it, I'm going to have to give out information on the 'Ancient Elf Ruins'.

Let's try to sneak in a probe while moving .......

''Then we'll take the quest, right?

'Oh ...... our purposes seem to be aligned. No problem.

Lila looked at Raphilia again, ...... somehow holding her cheeks and

Yes, and besides, adventuring with elves is my hobby.

...... You're an elf moe half-elf.

There are all sorts of people, this world too.

Finally, may I make one last condition?

I don't mind.

If the monster we encounter is even more powerful than Lyra-san's story, I'll give priority to my child's safety.

I said.

”Even if I have to pay a penalty for failing the quest, I will withdraw (tetai) to protect the lives of my friends. Of course, I won't throw you out.

I've heard that ...... doesn't produce demons that powerful.

But still, sir.

...... Got it.

Of course, I'll have an emergency plan in place, though.

Just to be sure, I should get my client's permission.

You're leaving the day after tomorrow. I want it ready by then.

With that, the half-elf Lyra stood up.

''Let me give you one last piece of advice. You'd better buy some 'mountain hiking' skills just in case.

”'Mountain hiking' skills?

'Yeah. That will reduce fatigue by 20%. I'm sure they sell it at the skill shop in this town. Oh, and ...... give my regards to that elf and dark elf. I'd like to introduce myself if I can. I'd like to hear your name and date of birth, as well as what your favorite foods are.

Excuse me. We're both in our free time right now. We'll talk about those things on the quest.

............ Yes.

Lila-Harmilt left with a lonesome voice.

She left behind in her room a parchment on which was a drawing of a mountain path to the middle of the road.

Let's check it against the map in the Adventurer's Guild later.

''Well, shall we get ready?''

That's why...

We decided to take a quest on our way to the ”Ancient Elf Ruins”.

A day later, the day after dawn.

We had come to the town gate.

We are now going to go through a small mountain to explore the ruins. There were six of us on the outward journey. On the way back, half of us are going to take Lyra to town, leaving the exploring group at the ruins. The road is gentle, and it seems to be only a hiking course.

Well, let's go as far as we can.

Big brother, big brother.

Suddenly, Iris tugged on the sleeve of my dress.

'What's up, Iris?'

Your brother bought your 'mountain hiking' skills, didn't he?

Yeah. Surprisingly cheap.

''It was a level 1 super common skill, you know. Plus, he'd disappear after a while of hiking in the mountains.

You have Iris installed, right?

Yes. Of course you do.

I bought enough 'mountain hiking' skills for a few people yesterday.

It was a super common skill, and thanks to the fact that I went through someone I know, it was pretty cheap.

'Could it be, Iris, that you want to 'rebuild' the 'mountain hiking'?

That's my brother!　You're right!

No, he said he'd know if he had such an expectant look on his face.

''I forgot to mention that Iris actually has 'Bonsai Lv 1'

...... 'Bonsai LV1'?

My father gave it to Iris as a way to increase the number of like-minded people.

Bonsai Lv 1

Skills to 'clean' and 'grow' 'plants'

'I see. So, if you take that and 'rebuild' it with 'Mountain Hiking LV1', you'll have a hiking cheat skill.

Yes. Iris and her brother are very conscientious.

You're the master. That much.

Besides, I had planned to make a cheat-type hiking skill, and I stocked up on materials.

But with Bonsai Lv 1, I could do the same thing as I gave Rita with Bonsai Lv 1. I learned about the effects of that skill in ”True Consciousness Sharing: Mind Linkage True”.

In the same way, if we combine the general outline of 'Bonsai', we should be able to create a skill that will make mountain hiking easier.

''Then Iris, can you give me 'Bonsai Lv 1'?　I'll cheat me and my 'mountain walker' and give it to Iris.

''No, no, I thought we should mix the magic of big brother and Iris ...... and make a cheat skill that is ...... higher, just in case.

No, we're running out of time. We're leaving.

It will take time for me and Iris to ”rebuild” the skill normally.

I can ”rebuild” the ”Fast Rebuild Quick Structure” right here, but I'll have to take my time to stabilize that skill later.

............ When big brother and Rita-sama ...... were 'spirit-linked', they acquired a new 'rebuilding' skill. And I'm listening to .......

Oh, that one.

That reminds me, I haven't used it yet, ”Fast Rebuild ”Quick Structure” Kai”.

That's a skill that allows you to quickly 'rebuild' a skill just like a normal 'Fast Reconstruction'.

It also has the ability to remotely stabilize concepts even when a slave is in a remote location.

Furthermore, I later found out that the burden of adjusting the skill is reduced. Instead, though, it looks like the time is extended.

Sure, that would allow you to stabilize your skills while moving around, but .......

...... Be honest with me, Iris.

Excuse me? Iris always lives honestly, doesn't she?

The fact that you told me about your 'Bonsai' skill just before you left means you were aiming for this.

I'm not aiming for that. Iris, I'm not looking for the first time to receive a new skill to rebuild or anything like that.

You're thinking really hard.

'You're going to have to work on stabilizing your skills on the move, okay?　I'm fine.

I'm not afraid!　Boom, right?

Okay. Let's do it.

I'm sure it will make Iris' mountain hike easier.

Besides, I'm also curious to see what effect the 'cheat mountain hike' will have.

However, I can't let Lila-san know about it, so I'll have to be sneaky.

Just to be sure, I would like to remind you all that your brother ...... received the skills he created all by himself. I'm ashamed to let you know that I'm ...... walking around with my brother, who is ...... connected to him.

Yeah ...... that's embarrassing for me too.

Me and Iris looked at each other and nodded. Iris, your face is bright red. Maybe me too.

...... So, come here then.

”Yes, sir. Brother.

I took Iris out of sight and put my hand on her chest.

I installed Bonsai Lv 1 inside me and called up Iris's Mountain Hiking Lv 1 - all I needed to do was to 'rebuild' it.

Let's go. Iris.

Yes. Please come. Brother.

Activate the Quick-Structure Rebuild Quickly!

”Mountain Trekking Lv 1

Skill to walk ”mountain paths” ”quickly and surely”.

”Bonsai LV1

Skill to 'grow' 'plants' in a 'beautiful' way

'Recast 'Mountain Hiking' and 'Bonsai' as '4 Concept Cheat Skills'. Execution!　'Fast rebuild and reform'!

Hmm...

Iris's body bounced with a twitch.

My newly perfected skill is...

Brilliant Stroll, Lv 1

Skill to walk a ”mountain path” in a ”clean” and ”quick and reliable” manner.

You can literally walk quickly and reliably on mountain trails with a clean gait.

The strain on your feet, knees and hips is reduced by 10% of the number of concepts (GAINENSUU).

When activated, a marker appears in your field of vision to indicate a comfortable line to walk on. By following these instructions, your burden is further reduced by 30%. The markers can also be shared with other players who are holding hands.

It also has an autopilot function.

...... As expected of the '4 Concept Cheat Skills'

Fatigue is reduced by up to 70%? That's amazing.

And the autopilot function ...... has an autopilot function?

With this, Iris can get to her destination even when she's asleep. And as long as we hold hands, I can take advantage of the navigation system. Sharing it with everyone in 'True Consciousness Sharing' will make it easier for the entire party to get around.

...... I think this will change the whole concept of mountain hiking,

I'm sure it was your brother's 'ability to rebuild'

Iris hugged my arm and laughed.

'Iris will stop at nothing to make your brother's quest easier. Now, let's go. Iris is so much better than being 'readjusted' while walking. In fact, it's a big deal!

A few moments later, Lila came in with her luggage.

'I'm going to take the lead now and lead you all through.

'Mmm,' declared Lila, with a puff of her chest.

'I know some of you are not used to hiking in the mountains. But you must protect yourselves from the demons. I believe that the elves and dark elves are able to be in the woods and mountains ...... and their masters are .......

Lila glanced at me and coughed.

Well, don't take it easy. For my part, I'm fine with a few of my guards staying behind. Only those who are able to follow you will be able to do so. That's all.

That's why...

Me, Iris, Cecil, Aine, Raphilia and Cutlass, who had installed the 4 Concept Mountain Hiking Skill without knowing it, and Cecil, Aine, Raphilia and Cutlass, had started the 'Ancient Elf Ruins Survey'.
