Chapter 5: Status Open!
Chapter 5: Status Open!
On the day we were making paper, the idiot Torita and Idiot woman came so we had to stop making it, then we made dinner and talked a bit, after that we went to bed.
Incidentally, all of us slept on the same bed. At first we all slept separately, but then Lucia and Elin came, since they weren’t feeling well sleeping alone, they came in my room to sleep with me.
“ *sob*, *sob*… Father, mother, master, where did you all go? It’s dark, please don’t leave Lucia alone, I don’t want to be alone anymore.”
“Are you allright, Lucia? If it’s me then I’m here?”
“Uu, *sob*… yeah, good master was here.”
Lucia opens her eyes and checks my face to confirm it, feeling relieved that it was me she went back to sleep clinging to my arm.
At the beginning when she was sleeping separately, she was crying due to having a nightmare. Sleeping with me, somehow gives her peace of mind.
She was holding still, so I decided to pat her head and she started to make a relieved expression.
It seems I’m needed for her to recover from her trauma.
While thinking such things, Elin sprang up and started showing gestures as if she was searching something.
She was searching a knife for self-defence, naturally there wasn’t any put nearby. It’s because I put it away. Looking at her state I called out “Elin” to her, then she hugged me with her small body which was shaking. Her hometown in the forest was burned, brethren slain, having assassins after her life, I can’t blame her when she is waking up at fixed intervals.
While Elin is in panic, she will unconsciously attack anybody that gets close to her but for some reason I’m her only ally so she comes to hug me.
“Masatsuga-sama, Masatsuga-sama, Masatsuga-sama”
I am her only emotional support. She was desperately calling out for my name.
“It’s allright, Elin. I’ll be here to protect you forever, that’s why there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Elin stopped calling my name, her small body slowly stopped shaking aswell. Then she tightly clinged to my hand and quiet breathing sounds came from her.
Elin still needs me aswell, huh.
With small breathes, I also was falling in a doze. In such a doze, I started thinking.
Despite the orphanage being small now, I still have to work hard for them. If I don’t work hard, they’ll be met in unhappiness again. So for that to not happen and to leave this place as with no problems, I’ll look after them with care.
Nevertheless they are pretty girls. There aren’t vile emotions now because they are young, but in the future they will be nonpareil beautiful. The men who will marry them will be very happy, me becoming their husband is … impossible. Right now it is out of courtesy, but later it will be a good childhood memory. Besides there are alot more better guys than me, these girls are really beautiful, whatsoever they’ll be loved and envied by others. I fell asleep while thinking of such things.
And so as usual comes next morning.
“Master, I’ll go together with Elin-chan to draw water from the well, because we have little.”
“I see, there isn’t any. I’ll come aswell, it’s heavy right?”
“That isn’t needed, ever since Master has cured me from my illness I’ve been steadily swelling with strength. It’s all due to Master!”
“Hah?”
I tilted my head in doubt and activated one of my skills.
“Status Open!”

Wait a sec, this is way too strong! At the start when I looked she was an ordinary person, but now her hp is 4 times her strength!? She’s strong even without the improvement, but with my skill she’s reaching inhuman levels, truly terrifying.
“Elin-chan also said that while being near Master, her magical power has been rising up. Thanks to that, she can cast several wind spells one after another and can carry stuff around while flying.”
“Hah?”
I called out “Status Open” once again.

『Protect (Improved)』
Effect: The protected person by the target holder will receive a major status improvement. Abnormal status effects will be made invalid, and self-recovery is increased aswell.
Tch! Seriously? This one is magic specialized type. Having 999 MP, that’s not just strong that is just broken! Elin was strong aswell in the beginning, but add my skill’s effect in the mix and her strength is at the level of monster.
“The two of you are strong, but how far are you?”
“I’ll go first, Master!”
All of a sudden, Lucia thrust a punch in thin air. In the next moment, a rock which was at the corner of the garden let out a deafening sound as it bursted and then scattered around.
“Air Judgement Fist! By gathering our essence in the fist, we release at full it’s one of the beastpeople techniques! The opponent can die!”
“I am next! Wind Magic Art 『Crush!』”
Another rock in the garden, began to gave out crackling sounds as it was being crushed. In several seconds it was reduced to the size of dice.
“The target is being compressed to the utmost limits by the surrounding air! The target can die!”
“Being around Master feels like my strength keeps increasing! Thank you, Master!”
“I like being together with Lucia-chan. With me being on Masatsuga-sama side, my magical power level will increase even futher. Everything is thanks to Masatsuga-sama! Thank you very much!”
“Yeah, amazing. Hm? Watch out!”
A lump of flame was headed towards the girls at the speed which you couldn’t see, but I erased it completely with my body.
“I’m sorry, Master, I didn’t see it at all.”
“Likewise, Masatsuga-sama. If Masatsuga-sama wasn’t here I would’ve died. Thank you!”
“You’ve more to learn. You can’t never know of when an threat will come. That’s why not only you have to train offense but defense aswell.”
“Understood! Master!”
“I understand, Masatsuga-sama!”
They started looking at me with sparkles in their eyes.
While we were sparring, I had no time think such things.
I heard a voice coming from the sky.
