Hidden Dungeons.

That’s what places like the one I’m standing in right now are called. An unexplored dungeon that the world is still unaware of, or just one with an as of yet unknown method of entry.

There’s always some kind of obstacle that prevents people from getting inside.

An entrance that doesn’t open.

No stairs to descend.

Protection by an overwhelmingly strong magical creature.

No knowledge on how to enter in the first place, and so on.

Precisely because of that the one to discover a way to enter is certain to be praised a hero. And that’s an understatement!

One time a certain Janton Jastal accidentally stumbled upon a stone that was required to enter a dungeon and just like that his country rewarded him with enough money to live multiple life times of bliss. That’s how big of a deal

Hidden Dungeons are.

And well, for better or worse that’s the kind of uncharted place I’ve stepped into.

“It’s still the third floor, what’s with this kind of monster popping up!”

Facing a skeleton looking like death incarnate I couldn’t help but yell. Just from the air it gave off I could tell it’s an extremely dangerous enemy. With ripped cloth fluttering along with its movements it raised its scythe and made me its target. At this point all I can do is take up the fight.

Hurriedly I made use of 「Analyse」, one of the skills I acquired on the previous floor, and verified my opponents strength.

…Turns out I encountered an enemy much worse than expected.

Name: Dead Reaper

Level: 99

Skills: Reap of Instant Death

For a level 23 like me it was already a ridiculously strong enemy on its own, but that skill is beyond brutal. A summary of the skill turned out as follows.

「Reap of Instant Death」

So basically, receiving a single hit means a journey to heaven. Since there’s no way I could face this kind of attack head-on I activated 「Edit」, another skill I obtained from the second floor, and tried manipulating the 『Instant Death』 part of the skill summary.

『Instant Death』 Removal: 1000 LP

“Whoah, no way.”

Removing those two words right now would render the skill useless, but to do that I need LP, life points. Right now I have no more than 500 LP, so executing that skill would just result in death for me.

“A creation skill then!”

The skill 「Thickheaded」 can be brought forth with 100 LP, and with another 100 LP I can use a transfer skill to pass it on to an opponent. I felt some rapid loss of strength with my life points sinking to 300 just like that, but bracing my legs I endured. No way am I going to die here.

“Hooh, time to step it up.”

――The dungeon no one should have been able to enter.

Why did I go into this kind of place?

Was I, the third son of a mere ruined noble, able to accomplish something great?

To explain that I’ll have to trace back a few days.

◇ ◆ ◇

I got up from my slightly drab bed and went downstairs, headed towards the living room. In doing so I was presented with a development different from the usual; in a display of perfect prostration my father was pressing his forehead on the floor.

“Forgive me, Noir! I’m truly sorry, it’s inexcusable!”

In a screaming voice I was suddenly receiving an apology. It was my first time seeing father go this far.

“Father, please raise your head. Just what is going on?”

“Truth is, it’s about the library you were supposed to work at from today onward…”

I am Noir Stalgia, third born of a noble.

Just a while ago I graduated from the Jastal Youth Rearing school for commoners and nobles. Due to my family’s circumstances I could forgo further education and instead acquired a job. The workplace being at a library, meaning I was to become a librarian. Since I’ve loved books since childhood I was more than thankful for the opportunity.

“Don’t worry, I’m already motivated enough about my first day of employment.”

“Aah, no, about the position as librarian… My connections are no longer of use.”

“What do you mean? Didn’t you say you talked it over with a friend?”

“Well, all of a sudden a viscount’s child cut in line and now… No more room for staff.”

I felt a headache coming. That very moment, my unemployment was decided.

For nobles, the order of distinguishment goes duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron, baronet. One could not oppose a higher class.

And we, Stalgia, were of the rank baronet, at best to be called the end of the ladder. Barely high class and if one were so inclined, “beggar nobles.”

Speaking up against a viscount two ranks above us was unthinkable.

“Father, please lift your head. I may have viewed becoming a librarian as my purpose in life, I may have even looked forward to it more than three meals a day, and I may be at the peak of despair, but I’m not bearing any grudge.”

“No you certainly are!”

“But still, just what should I do now, old ma… Father.”

“Were you just about to say old man?! No actually you did! You’re definitely upset, oh my son!”

“Leaving jokes aside, what now? For a noble’s son to be unemployed, even if it is a third rate noble, that’s unacceptable.”

“Third rate…”

Switching with my dejected father, both my mother and sister joined the discussion.

“Noir, just as a substitute plan, how about trying the hero school entry exam?”

“No way I’ll pass that.”

“In that case I’m going to provide for brother!”

“Thanks, Alice. But let’s put being financially dependent on my little sister up as plan C.

For now I’ll be taking my daily stroll.”

To cool down my head I went outside. In the mood I was I wished the wind would just blow my worries away. While walking through the farthest out quarter of the noble district, a beauty of a girl rushed over to me, her chest

shaking violently in the process.

“Morniiing, Noir! Everything ready?”

“Ah, good morning Emma.”

Adorned with some hair ornaments her brown hair was as charming as ever. A girl that’s been around me who knows how many years, Emma Brightness.

She’s my 16 year old childhood friend and a girl brimming with a maiden’s adorableness. Thanks to facial features that promised she would turn into a beautiful woman in the future and her chest size she was incredibly

popular with the boys in the Youth Rearing school. Actually, even the male teachers were no exception.

“From today on we’ll both be librarians~! Let’s work hard together, wahahaha~!”

While she was playing around mimicking some great hero I told her about the recent developments.

“…huh? So what? Wait, wait wait, so you can’t become a librarian?”

“Looks pretty impossible. I’ll be cheering you on from the back row though, Emma.”

Thanks to their baron lineage her family enjoyed a rather wealthy life and since both our parents are friends our childhood was full of opportunities to meet. Our noble ranks were different, but she’s never been the kind of person to boast about things like that. Our workplace… was supposed to be the same.

“So hey, what’s up with you being more down about it than I myself?”

“But, buut… I even found a story I was sure you’d be interested in, but to end up hearing something that depressing…”

“Something I’d be interested in?”

“It’s about your skill. Yesterday while reading in the archives I found something that stayed on my mind.”

“Oh, something about the Great Sage then? Do tell.”

「Great Sage」

A skill so rare that I’m currently the only possessor.

When I was seven years old and had it identified at the church my parents jumped from joy. Reason being that it’s the same skill a certain famous sage gained, who as a result acquired a lot of knowledge of the world and its

underlying laws. A skill with effects still unclear to the scholars, I was told. But in my case it’s a wasted gift.

――I can’t use it.

Well to be exact I can use it, but after utilizing it I’m assaulted by a headache so terrible it makes me wish for death, a cluster headache.

Until now I’ve refused to endure that kind of pain just so I could ask the Great Sage a question.

“There was this one line, that whenever Merlin the sage had a headache he would have his wives gather so he could kiss them.”

“Must’ve been crazy about kisses.”

“There, exactly! Merlin also had headaches when he used the skill. What if kissing the opposite sex was what alleviated the pain?”

“…It’s possible, I guess.”

“Right? W-wanna try it?”

“Me and, you?”

“Well, no one else to ask, right? I mean, I’m your childhood friend so something like a kiss is really just… in other countries they’re shared as greeting, you know? Despite appearances we’re adults after all.”

Watching Emma answer while being flustered like that I unintentionally let out a laugh. Because of how kind she is she’s fine with helping for my sake.

“Alright, let’s do it right away.”

“Wait, what, right now? What about the mood, the moods totally missing!”

“As compared to where?”

“The clock tower, let’s go~”

I’m not really following, but like that we climbed the clock tower in the very center of the city.

“Appreciated”

“Y-you’re welcome”

Her lips were warm, as well as soft, but rather than that I couldn’t help but worry about the skill’s side effect.

“Good luck!”

While fear was welling up inside of me Emma gave me a push on the back. My courage built up again.

Great Sage, please answer my call.

「Your will.」

I need to become stronger so I can pass the hero school entrance exam. What would be the most efficient method?

「Answer. Entering a Hidden Dungeon would be optimal.」

…It’s…It’s not coming?

Until now this has been the point at which the pain would start, but I’m still good!

Unintentionally I voiced my thoughts.

“Where is the closest Hidden Dungeon?”

「Please enter the grotto 14645 meters south west. Go on for 100 meters. Push the rotating wall on the left to reveal the stairs to 『The Unending Dungeon』」

“Ah no way now it’s starting to hurt like my eyes are being gauged out!”

“Noir! Should I kiss you again!?”

“Please do, Emma!”

We kissed. Several times. As if I was just imagining it the pain disappeared. Unbelievable. To think the method was this effective. But the pain is still dreadful, so after just asking about the entering method I canceled the skill.

“Se… seven times….”

On our way home I expressed my thanks to Emma, whose head turned red like an apple.

“Thanks for today. Would it be alright to ask you again some time?

“U-… Uh, yeah, no other choice, right”

Bidding farewell to the fidgeting girl on my side I returned home as fast as I could.

Father was still prostrating.

“These are my feelings, Noir! This is my devotion!”

“――…More importantly. Father! I need a sword with a good blade right away!”

“Don’t cut me―!! You can call me old man just please don’t kill me!”

“Don’t be an idiot, like I’d kill you! I’ll be out for a while training for the hero school entrance exam.”

“Aa, oh, so that’s why.”

Right away I received a sword with an exceptional blade. Looks like father used to be an adventurer back in the day. The kind that doesn’t get paid.

I equipped the sword and stormed out of the city at once.

When the sun was right above me I arrived at my destination and entered the remote grotto. After advancing into it a little I pushed the wall and truly, it rotated with a *gurun.*

Behind the wall there was a small room, in the middle of it a small staircase leading downwards. Long live the Great Sage.

Let’s descend.

“Whoah, it was really here.”

The area grew more vast and ahead of me towered a massive iron gate. No matter what kind of magic attack one summoned, it didn’t seem like it’d budge in the least. I recited the required incantation.

“「The Hidden Dungeon only I can enter. Secretly becoming world strongest!」”

Menacing rumbling…―――――

Huh, it actually opened with that silly line. No way anyone could enter without being taught that phrase.

――The Hidden Dungeon only I can enter.

With an air of triumph I passed through the gate.

The inside of the dungeon was surprisingly normal. The walls were made of brick and torches were mounted to them in set intervalls. Thanks to that there were no problems in regards to visibility.

There was a labyrinthine feel to the corridors which made it easy to imagine someone getting lost in here.

“No point in hesitating, time to advance”

Just as I set out to move forward the gate behind me closed on its own. Uwa, that scared me… and right as I was about to pull myself together again――

『…Oh brave hero, you did well in coming here… I await thee on the second floor… There, I will… …s my… …to y……』

Huh? Suddenly a woman’s voice came echoing from within. The last part was too quiet and hoarse to understand. A trap maybe? Readying my sword I moved on. When the corridor turned right I froze.

“That’s… no way, right?”

What I encountered were three slimes sparkling in a golden tint. Slimes are no more than elliptical clumps of jelly 30 cm in width, but usually their color is turquoise or light green. There are also ones with a red shade, but they’re rare in this region.

Gold slimes on the other hand barely exited on the entire continent. How did they end up in this place, and three of them at that?

“Chuppachoo”

One of them turned aggressive and spit out a yellow liquid. It was the kind that transmits diseases upon getting hit.

Without delay I dodged and slashed it with my sword. I wavered for a moment but managed to cut it in half. The other two I killed in a similar fashion. Slimes are generally the weakest monsters so even I can more or less handle them.

…Sure feels hot.

I felt a surge of strength go through my body. Seems like my level went up with that. I’ll get it analysed later. By the way, I’m just a level 5 small fry.

“I wonder if it’s true that you can eat gold slimes as well”

Slimes are pretty useful in that they can be eaten after defeating them. Based on the things they ate up to that point their taste changes as well. There are even slime ranches.

I picked up a piece of the one cut in half and took a bite.

“So sweet!?”

Almost like honey, but even more refined… Without thinking I took a third, fourth bite. Before I realized it I had eaten an entire piece.

“Ah that won’t do, I need to take some along for mother and Alice.”

As for father… there’s still that one story so let’s not mind him. I put two gold slime bodies into my bag.

Thanks to the gold ones’ low reproduction rate they’re particularly valuable, so selling them should yield quite the sum. The first floor turned out to be full of these money fountains, but after killing four I gave up on carrying them all with me. My bag just got too heavy.

I spotted a staircase and proceeded downwards.

『…com… …h…re……』

That voice again.

Even though it might be a trap I couldn’t ignore it.

The second floor was full of doors leading to small rooms, but I was guided to a specific one out of all of them.

A thin, meagre woman with white hair was hanging from chains in the very middle of the room. Each of the four walls had a round hole from which one of the chains extended. She was limp with no sign of strength.

“Still alive though… right?”

I approached carefully and addressed her while keeping several meters of distance between us. I saw her pale face but couldn’t make out her age. What I could tell was that she would have been beautiful were she in perfect shape.

『…come, touch… my head…』

A cracked voice spoke to me. It felt like death would visit her at any moment.

Channeling my bravery I touched her head.

“Wha-?!”

Telepathy? In a single moment all the things she wanted to convey to me flowed into my mind like an avalanche.

Olivia Servant

Super Top Tier First Class Adventurer (Really?)

Looks like she played a major role in this country 200 years ago.

While on a walk she found the grotto on accident, figured out the fake wall, acquired the entrance incantation by deciphering some ancient texts written on a stone statue in the back of the grotto, and managed to enter the dungeon.

Eeh, so this Hidden Dungeon wasn’t an unprecedented discovery after all, I’m the second intruder.

As for Olivia, when she defeated a monster in this room the trap activated and turned her into this state. The astonishing thing is that she has been imprisoned here for as long as 200 hundred years. A gruesome story.

“I understand the general gist of things. One moment, I’ll be cutting the chains”

『Stop, stop! These are cursed chains, don’t do anything uncalled for!』

As if a connection was installed earlier I could hear her directly inside my head. Her articulation was fluent and full of spirit, but she herself had yet to show any facial expression or so much as move a finger. It appears her body and mind are cleanly split in half.

『These are cursed chains of death. Cut them and poor me will die』

“Wait, then why did you call me here?”

『I’ve been looking for a conversation partner all this time, sending out my voice despite deeming it hopeless. And now someone actually came! Ah, it makes me so emotional I could cry』

Which means the calling wasn’t something I triggered by coming here, huh. So she’s spent 200 years, every single day…

『But still, quite the promising sort, aren’t ya.』

“My name is Noir. The reason I came here is to get stronger――”

I swiftly told her about my circumstances. Just like earlier her face remained still without even twitching an eyelid, yet her telepathic voice was full of vigor.

『Ain’t that just great! Right as I was thinking about passing on my skills to someone~. I won’t need them any more so you can have them. Just for a second, can you put your head against mine?』

“Like this?”

With a quicker heartrate than just a moment ago I touched her forehead with mine. This time I felt a heat wave wash over me like a tsunami. It felt as if my blood started boiling.

『Panpakapaa~n! Thanks to 「Transfer」 my skills were successfully imparted. A couple weren’t compatible, but all the strong ones went over! And with this I can die in peace. Farewell~』

“Waitwait, it’s still too soon to die!”

『Yeah, not dying. Was a joke~. I’ll now explain the skills real quick.』

She went on to explain a bunch of incredible skills like they were everyday things.

「Skill Creation」

Freely create new skills at the cost of LP. Cost differs based on the desired skill. Originals are more expensive.

「Skill Bestowal」

Pass skills produced with skill creation on to other people and things. Different amounts of LP are used up depending on target and skill.

「Skill Edit」

Allows editing of anyone’s and anything’s skills. LP consumption depends on the content being edited.

「LP Conversion」

LP are restored in correspondence to the following actions.

– Enjoyment of a heartfelt, delightful meal

– Intimate behaviour with the opposite sex

– Satisfaction of monetary and material desires

– Fulfillment of other desires and wishes (Prospering descendants included)

By concentrating on it the current amount of LP will show up in the back of one’s mind.

Creation, bestowal, edit.

All of these are new to me. I wonder if they’re uniques?

『Creation, bestowal and edit are pretty strong! Conserving your LP is crucial though』

“The LP replenishing methods are all pretty wanton aren’t they”

『Well, I’ve lead a delightful life in which I worked hard, lived in a nice house, enjoyed many hearty meals and had fun with a lot of good men, you see』

“So you were a bimbo”

『Can’t deny that! But Noir, don’t have it pile up, okay? When saving it’s important not to stockpile it! Funny, eh?』

“Not exactly”

『Uee-…』 (TN: A flat wordplay making use of saving’s and stockpiling’s shared pronunciation)

『Anyway, how many LP do you have right now?』

When I focused on it a 『550』 came afloat in my mind.

『Not a whole lot after all. This way creating a strong skill won’t be possible, but as a trial run try creating something』

“What if I hit 0?”

『Death』

Tell me something like that at the start.

“If I end up the man to exhaust all his LP and die you’ll be the murderer held responsible”

『Not like you’re that sort of man. Noir is the type that knocks on a stone bridge before crossing it but then doesn’t walk over it anyways』

“Ugh…”

『Aww I’m sorry, did that hit the mark? Aha-, well anyway, test the creation skill. Since it’s your first time how about something like stone projectile?』

“I’ll try.”

I concentrated on creating 「Stone Projectile」

It said 『LP Cost: 50』 so I went for it.

Am I able to use it now? Let’s see.

Dopang! Dokang!

A rock with a diameter of 20 cm shot out and collided with the wall.

“To think you can get a new skill just like that”

『Riight? Super convenient. By the way, how’s your condition?』

“A tad languid, I think”

『You should go home and rest for today~. And make sure to come again! I’ll be giving you some guidance on things – condition being that you call me master』

“Master, I humbly beg of thee to treat me favorably on the next occasion as well.”

『So heavy!』

“Since master is such a wanton woman I thought this much would be appropriate”

『Noir really knows how to spit venom…』

“Well then, I’ll be back some other time”

Since my vitality wasn’t doing too well either I did as I was told and exited the dungeon. On my way home I stopped by the church and asked a familiar, albeit dull, old mister to analyse my current abilities.

“What happened, Noir!? You’ve got some skills this old man has never even heard of, and wait, weren’t you level 5?”

Turns out my level rose all the way to the 20s.

Gold slimes sure are tasty, in more ways than one.

At home I kept quiet about the Hidden Dungeon. Leaving father aside, mother and Alice would definitely try to stop me from going there again. ‘Don’t do anything dangerous!’ they’d say. I did share the gold slimes with them though.

“Do you two want to try these? Where I got them from is a secret, but they’re really tasty.”

“Noir, when you said ‘two’ just now you excluded me, didn’t you? Even though you looked at me you pretended not to see me, didn’t you?”

My father was starting to get melancholic so I reluctantly raised the quota from two to three. They all tried a mouthful of jelly and then exclaimed at the same time.

“””Delicious!”””

No surprise they reacted that way. It’s so good I also let out a shout when I first had a bite.

So now the left over amount is… Oi, isn’t father’s gluttony about to completely wipe them out? That’s why I left you out at first!

Well, I can always get some more so I guess it’s fine.

“Brother, this is the first time I’ve eaten something this sweet and delicious!”

“Yeah, I’ll try getting my hands on some more sometime soon. By the way, about the hero school, when was the entrance exam again?”

“My son, that would be tomorrow.”

“Just hypothetically, if I were to pass it you wouldn’t be able to pay the school fee, would you?”

“Ughh… come now, there’s this thing called a father’s dignity-…”

It was clear as day how troubled he was. I have two elder brothers, but they have both left the royal capital and moved to different cities. My oldest brother was serving knightly duties in a different region and my other brother was attending a commercial school.

Commercial schools’ fees were pretty high so our House Stalgia was in a dire situation as far as getting money was concerned. That’s also the reason I originally turned towards a job instead of continuing my education.

“Hero school alows part time jobs, doesn’t it? In that case I’ll also become an adventurer or dungeon seeker.”

“But, Noir, you…”

“Father, I, too, am at an age of growth. Do raise your expectations.”

“That’s no good, brother! Please, anything but a dangerous job-”

“Alice, I may look like this, but I’m still a man.”

With a swishing sound I exhibited a practice swing with the sword. I could tell the level ups raised my physical abilities, because it turned into quite the display. Even father turned silent in a moment.

Befitting a son of House Stalgia I shall become strong, father.

◇ ◆ ◇

The next day I decided to put the skills I received from master into practical use. First of all I wanted to get my hands on a certain convenient skill through skill creation. As I progress in the Hidden Dungeon my level should keep increasing as well, but going to the church every single time would turn into a bother quick.

My target was analyze.

I will also need it to check whether 「Skill Bestowal」 actually worked for when I use that.

『Analyze 300 LP』

Sure is expensive… If I created this right now my remaining life points would be 200. That sounds like I would collapse on the spot.

Master also told me that with low life points one’s resistance to sickness sank as well. With that in mind I guess I should replenish them first.

“Sorry for making you wait, Noir~!”

Emma arrived at our meeting place at the public park. I called her here to thank her for her help yesterday.

“Good morning Emma. Is your air different from usual?”

“Ee~, I wonder~, no way~”

The girl that was responding to me with a brimming grin dislikes clothes that show a lot of skin. To be precise, she doesn’t like clothes that tease one’s chest. However, today she wore a bare shoulder dress that was exposing all the way to her cleavage.

“It’s rare to see you in these kinds of clothes. You usually don’t wear anything too revealing.”

“Well of course, when I do wear them everyone only looks at my breasts after all. There are also people that call girl cows to harass them~”

“So won’t these clothes also get you an unnecessary amount of attention?”

“That’s why, today! Today is different. Aa, Noir, you idiot don!”

Idiot don caught me off guard, but I could see I upset her.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you angry. I wanted to meet you because I’ve got a tasty dessert to share with you.”

“Ooh? I’m happy, maybe.”

“Here you go.”

I gave her what had become the last piece of jelly due to father.

“Sweeeeet?!”

Looks like it was good enough for her to stretch the sound.

“Where’d you buy this?”

“I didn’t actually buy it, but where I got it from is a secret.”

“Boo, there are no secrets between childhood friends.”

“A man with secrets is more charming, is what someone somewhere once said.”

Even without secrets, Noir is… is what Emma was about to say, but she didn’t continue. That’s when I told her about my request.

“Weird story, but I’d like to try hugging you.”

“What’s this all of a sudden!?”

“Well you look so charming today after all. So that’s a no?”

“It-It’s not like I said no though.”

“Here I go then.”

I embraced her closely. This should also fall under intimate conduct with the opposite sex, is what I was thinking.

The feeling of her lithe body and the comfort of her soft arms holding on to me was so overwhelming I accidentally put more strength into the hug. In response she did the same and for a while we remained in that position.

Spontaneously I took in the scent of her hair. It had the tinge of a refreshing soap.

You could really tell she was of a wealthier family than me. She also knew how to spend her money.

“Thanks for your help.”

“…I mean, this is more of a simple greeting really. Anytime is okay if it’s just that.”

The plan was a success.

500 LP → 800 LP.

I wonder if it’s because it was a first time experience, that’s quite the leap.

Right away I created analyze, which put me at 550 LP. With my newly gained skill I analyzed Emma.

Name: Emma Brightness

Age: 16

Race: Human

Level: 18

Occupation: Unemployed

Skills: 「Dual-wielding Daggers (C)」 「Wind Attack」

For the dagger skill there was a rank attached. The order went C, B, A, S, with S being the peak. However, even someone with rank C has remarkable technique that couldn’t be compared to someone with no skill at all.

That said… Unemployed?

“How’s your job as librarian coming along?”

“I quit yesterday~. Felt like it wasn’t for me.”

“Isn’t that some pretty hasty judgement?”

“I guess, maybe~”

With a loud ‘Uwahahaha~’ Emma laughed while copying some herculean hero.

If I were to apply right now to fill the position that just became vacant… No, I shouldn’t think about that. I’ve already decided on a different path to walk.

Having successfully acquired analyze I went on a walk with Emma, during which she frequently stretched her shoulders. I asked her if her shoulders felt stiff and she gave a deep nod.

“Is it because your chest is so heavy?”

“Well, yes, it is! But is that something you say to a woman!?”

“Childhood friends, right? I can say things to you I couldn’t say to other girls.”

“A-, yeah… ehe. Right, that’s just how good our relationship is.”

As I was thinking about how to help her out I had a good idea.

『Tiny Breasts: 30 LP』

Uwoa-, even something like that can be created… Or maybe this kind of skill had already existed. Actually, can you even call this a skill?

“If you could become flat chested, would you want to?”

“That sure sounds lovely~. It was nice back in the day as well.”

“Want me to grant that wish?”

“Ohohoho~, absolutely, please do~”

I decided to test the bestowal skill. Looks like granting her that skill had a cost of 50 LP. Combined with the skill itself that’ll be 80 LP.

Well, I’ve got 550 so it’s fine. I created 「Tiny Breasts」 and passed it on.

That same moment Emma’s huge chest shrank before our very eyes all the way to the shape of a washboard. With her breasts disappearing her cleavage also went off to who knows where.

“――Ueh? What did you dooo!?”

“Tried giving you tiny breasts.”

“Why are you even able to-!? What, what happened!?”

“I bestowed upon you a skill called tiny breasts.”

Like a fish on land Emma was flapping her mouth. Well I can see why, no way she could understand what just happened. To give her some relief I told her that she won’t have to deal with any more shoulder pain caused by her chest.

“What’s with this, flatness… It’s like I’m someone else.”

“I think your weight reduced a little as well. Also, I heard there’s a good amount of people that prefer flat chests, good for you.”

“…Is that true?”

“Yup. Although I definitely prefer bigger sizes.”

“Turn them back right now!”

“Ee…”

And here I just wanted to rid her of her shoulder problems. Doesn’t that turn it into a total LP waste? But seeing the affected person herself appealing earnestly like that I complied.

Hm, should I create 「Huge Breasts」 in this situation? But the two skills might just offset each other and turn out normal sized.

Massive breasts then? Or hyper breasts. Explosive breasts. Scary.

Might as well use this opportunity to test the edit skill.

「Tiny Breasts」

〈Turns breasts tiny.〉

Seems like it let’s me edit anything within the brackets, be it rewriting the letters or deleting them. For now I will try just removing the word tiny.

『Tiny』 Removal: 90 LP

Uwa-. It’s a shame but oh well.

Being reduced to 380 LP made me experience some dizziness, but it looks like the edit was successful and the tiny breasts skill vanished.

It probably disappeared as a whole because the remaining sentence couldn’t stand on its own.

“Yay! It’s back, my chest is back!”

“Glad that worked out. Although I’m not feeling so well… would you mind giving me a lap pillow?”

“Oh my, you’re really pale! Come here.”

On a bench nearby she made me rest on her thighs. Thanks to her lap pillow I recovered a little and returned back to 450 LP. Since there’s one more thing I want to use edit on I’ll conserve them for the time being.

“That reminds me, Emma, we still haven’t done one of those foreign country greetings today.”

“Eh~, are you still feeling unwell?”

“It’s for the sake of a quick recovery.”

“No helping it then~”

Approaching my face on her lap she slowly descended her lips onto mine.

Seems like a success. My LP went up to 500.

“If possible, one more.”

“Nh-”

Unfortunately the second time didn’t cause an increase. Looks like I need to wait for a kind of cooldown for repeated actions to have an effect. I suppose that’s to be expected, otherwise you could just raise your LP without end.

I’m also curious how doing something for the first time affects the gain.

There sure are lots of things to try out.
