Being Able to Edit Skills in Another World, I Gained OP Waifus

There's steam all around us.

The lake has been blown up, but I think it's only a third of the size of the lake at most.

But the sounds we heard earlier, like a whale on the loose, are gone.

The soil around the area where Rita and I had been fighting with the tentacles had eroded and water was flowing into it. It's not raining on my head, it's water from the lake that's been blown away.

"Leviathan" can be found at ...... yes. There are no shadows or shapes.

Was it erased or escaped? Well, it doesn't matter.

"Looks like this is a cheat.

My slave is a cheat. What should I do?

...... I can't help it.

Me and Rita are both safe.

I'm Cecil's master, which means I'm protected from her magic, apparently. In any case, I was able to get a safe distance from her because I ran. Likewise, Rita is also safe.

It looks like the people from the Iturna Order are still alive. We were far enough away from the lake that the carriage also served as a shield. The carriage itself was shattered, and the people in it are lying some distance away, paralyzed. They're almost out of it.

I locked eyes with one of the priests. He's sitting there in a daze, still paralyzed. Well, I'm glad he's alive. Now all I need is for you to tell me that I saved him.

And I looked closely and saw what looked like fish scales on the floor underneath me.

There were seven of them. About the size of my palm. They're pearl-colored.

Isn't it a skill crystal - I wonder if it's a skill crystal? I don't even know what the effect is.

Maybe it was a drop item from the Leviathan. I'll pick it up.

"...... nagi ...... hyamaa ......

Cecil?

Through the rain, I saw Cecil.

It looked like steam was coming out of his head.

His clothes were soaking wet, and his long silver hair was tangled around his body. His eyes looked as if he was about to fall asleep, and above all, his face was bright red.

Are you all right?　What happened?　Cecil!

The visitor can go to ...... and see ...... Marijuana .......

with a plop

And hurriedly held the little body that was about to fall over.

Excessive use of magic power ...... I see.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a new job.

It's just that this is the power. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

I'll have to think about that from now on as well.

Thanks for your hard work. Let's go home, Cecil.

Wait a minute!

Oh, the annoying guy was still there.

I turned around with Cecil in my arms and saw Priestess Rita, her robes scorched all over the place, glaring at me.

'Good work, Priestess Rita. I guess that means my side of the 'contract' is complete, right?

...... Yes, your 'deal' is done. The one that saved us from that monster.

Well, I'm done with my work. Goodbye.

Hey, who the hell are you guys?

'I don't like working overtime. Please let me leave on time.

Don't lie to me, I've never heard of a skill that lets your regenerative powers run amok. I've never heard of a skill that can make your regenerative powers run amok, and what was that magic you were talking about?　How can a girl who can do so much magic be your slave?

I'm a newcomer from the east.

I trust Rita there.

She was kind to Cecil, and she gave me a skill crystal.

Even after we got to the village, I was trying to gather the right information. What he's doing is decent.

But, well, that's it.

'I'm just from a distant island nation with a strange skill set that's a memento of my grandfather. So, enough about me.

I decided to change the subject before I was plugged in. In addition, I beckon Rita away from the priests. I don't think she's listening in that state, but I don't want those guys to hear the story.

...... Rita, I think you should quit the Order.

What?　I just got elected High Priest!

Do you enjoy being surrounded by doctrinally entrenched, disobedient men?

The pattern I know is that any organization that puts their local rules before reality is bound to squeak. And hard landings cause a lot of damage.

'We got away unscathed this time, but maybe we should get out of the cult before something worse happens.　It's not that Rita has any discrimination against Demi-humans, and she's got decent judgment.

No!　If I quit the cult, I wouldn't have anywhere to go!

'Like being an adventurer?　Who wouldn't want to have Rita's fighting ability?

'Want ......, I guess?　How about you?

'What?　Oh, yeah. I want someone to fight in the vanguard, and I want someone to fight in the vanguard.

............ Thanks.

Rita, who had turned a little red, cleared her throat.

"But you know what? You can't change your life now. I'm afraid. I've been working for the church since I was a child.

Hmm.

It's not my place to give advice.

But you know what? From my experience, Rita's workplace is one of the most dangerous places to work.

That's why I can't leave it alone for some reason.

Rita became the chief priestess: ......

'A beautiful girl is better than a beautiful girl to attract followers at Metecal, so it's a temporary measure to do so. A doll with a sign to attract people, right?

Rita said like it was nothing.

What, you knew.

'Still, it's definitely an opportunity for me. If I gather a lot of followers, even the bishop who governs the 'Order' branch of the Metecar can't ignore my achievements, right?　That's how you build a track record and work your way up. To change the Order from the inside out.

Rita looked at the priests lying at a distance and chuckled.

'I told you before.　I have friends who are beastmen. I have to tell them. I don't discriminate against people because of their race. I want them to understand that.

...... I'm still amazed at this guy.

Maybe the only people who can change an organization are guys like Rita.

'Oh, by the way, you still haven't thanked me for helping you. Thank you.

Rita bowed deeply.

'You ...... uh, Nagi, I think. Nagi and Cecil saved my life. I'll make sure to tell the Metecal's cult branch about this as well. And I will pay you well, so don't worry.

We have a 'deal'.

...... na, I'm not going to be Nagi's slave.

Rita said, turning a little red.

Then she looked at Cecil, whom I was holding.

But I'm sure you take good care of Cecil," she said. I'll give you that much credit. I'm sorry for calling you an outsider.

Yeah. I hope you understand. Then we'll be gone.

What?

Also, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep my skills and Cecil's magic a secret.

''That's fine, but ......, if you say you got rid of the lake monster, you could at least get a reward from the village, right?

Hmmm, no matter. I'm afraid I'm going to get some resentment from the guilds for stealing their work from them. 'Leviathan' ran away after we saved the priests, spooked by the magic of someone who was passing by. The lake is going crazy because that guy went off the rails ......, so I wonder if you can match the story. For Cecil's sake.

My job and Cecil's job is only to save lives.

The reward will be for evacuating the carriage at the risk of our lives while being attacked by the tentacles of 'Leviathan'.

Okay, I'll go along with you. I'll go along with you. What's the situation?

Thank you. Rita.

I was going to 'make a deal' with Rita to keep quiet about our abilities, just in case ...... that's a good idea.

I still feel like I can trust Rita ...... or maybe I want to trust her.

She shielded me tightly during the battle, and she protected me from the paralyzing needle. If it wasn't for that, I'd be paralyzed and unable to move by now.

Besides, Cecil seems to like Rita.

The fact that you silenced Rita with a "contract" is a bit hard to say to Cecil.

"Nagi. ...... You're a strange one, aren't you?

I'm from a long way away, so I'm not used to the rules on this side of the border.

Hmm.

Suddenly, Rita put her face close to mine. What's that sniffing ...... that you're sniffing me?　Why?

'Doesn't smell bad ......?　I don't know. ...... strange smell.

'Yeah, uh?　What's that?　You can't tell by the smell of something?

......Wow, there's no way you can know that they're not animals. ......!

I winced and Rita, too, withdrew her face with a bang.

You startled me. I mean, you're too close.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family. It's a wild beast. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not.　I understand. I'll do as the Nagi say!

After clearing her throat as if to cheat, Rita held out her hand to me.

'Let's shake hands,' she said.

'Hey Nagi, one day when I become Pope and change the Order, will you be my man?'

If I hadn't had to work to make ends meet by then, I'd think about it.

It's really weird.

Rita laughed.

Then we shook hands and parted ways.

When we got back to the inn, nothing much happened.

The only thing that had changed was the fact that we were served salted fish for breakfast the next day.

The village was in an uproar over the disappearance of 'Leviathan'. The guild was upset that a request was lost, but the next time they came back, they said they'd treat the village to a fish dish.

The Order of Iturna had to stay in the village for two days because their carriage broke down and their priests were injured.

We left the inn and headed for the Citadel Metekal.

We didn't get attacked by any demons, probably because we casually followed behind the guild's carriage. We arrived safely at the inn in Metekal the next evening.

I feel like I worked very hard. Until I register with the guild, I can take a day ...... no, I can take two days off ...... okay, let's take a break.

So, the first day was spent lounging around, and the second day was spent exploring the town of Metekal.

After shopping, I visited the branch of the "Iturna Order" and told them the name of the inn we were staying at. It's a message for Rita.

Well, it will take some time to explain various things to the cult, and I wondered how many days it would take before I would receive my reward──and then, that night was that day.

After finishing my meal, I was getting ready to register with the Adventurer's Guild when I heard a knock at the door.

I opened the door and Rita was standing there.

'...... cult, I've been fired.

.................. Yes?
