Chapter 127 – 127.The Beast King’s Daughter (2)
***
Next day. Before leaving for Bitus, I spoke to everyone gathered in the clubroom.
“Before we leave, I have something to tell everyone.”
Everyone looked at me with suspicion at my sudden words.
I guess I’m reacting like this because I usually say everything I want to say, whether it’s a concept or not.
“Are you going to reveal the truth?”
“Okay.”
“Are you saying that Sihan was hiding something from us?”
“That’s right.”
“There must have been a good reason for hiding it. But taking it out now… Does that mean something worth revealing has happened?”
I nodded and corrected one thing at Adelia’s point.
“Something worth revealing happened, but I thought it would be okay for you to reveal it beforehand. You are a trustworthy colleague.”
“I trust you too, Captain!”
“Thank you.”
“Well, is it okay if I come in? I’ve only just come in.”
“First of all, I am not a member of the Fortis Group.”
“Lucas. Gaining trust doesn’t necessarily have to be accumulated over time. And I think Kyeong-hoo is also a trustworthy person. Moreover, if Yeon-hwa asks, he will keep quiet.”
“That’s true! If it’s Lady Yeonhwa’s order! This Lord! I can jump into water or fire…!”
“Gyeonghu, be quiet.”
“Yes!”
“So what is Sihan trying to reveal to us?”
“The first thing to reveal is this.”
He held out his right hand and showed everyone the ring he was wearing as a decoration.
“I once told you about this subspace ring. I got it by chance by catching a bandit.”
“Yes, I did say that.”
“That’s a lie.”
“…As expected. No matter how much I thought it was a coincidence, I was very suspicious that the bandit had a subspace ring of this size. Sihan, I believed it because you said it.”
“Ah, I see. That was it. I got it!”
Suddenly, Atsubal raised the corner of her mouth and giggled.
Why are you doing that?
“Now I understand!”
“What do you mean?”
“That subspace ring… That’s you! It must have been given to you by a secret society! Where you grew up!”
“Determination?”
“That’s right! A society that pursues strength through harsh training since childhood! The reason you pursue strength so much is because you were raised that way from a young age! And the society has entrusted that subspace ring to you, who shows the most promise in the future! That’s right!”
“W-that’s it!?”
“Mr. Sihan is a desperate man… But what kind of desperate are you talking about?”
“Commitment? What is that?”
Well, it seems like Atsubal exploded his middle-class delusions on his own.
In cases like this, outright denial is the least fuss-free way to end things.
“No. Rather, where did the association come from?”
“… Isn’t it?”
“Don’t just use your own imagination and add strange settings to my past.”
“Ugh! I thought I got it right…!”
“It’s not just a day or two that Atsubal makes a fuss. So what is the truth behind the lies about the subspace ring, Sihan?”
“First of all, let me tell you, this was something I revealed to Sasha first. No, to be exact, she kept this secret because Sasha said it was better to hide it.”
As I continued speaking, I took off the ring on my middle finger and said.
“This is not a subspace ring. It’s just an ordinary ring that looks exactly like a subspace ring.”
“What? Then do you have a separate ring?”
“No, I have never used a subspace ring in the first place.”
The moment I said these words, everyone’s eyes widened and they were surprised.
“You’ve never used a subspace ring?”
“Then how have you been so far…” ” .”
“That’s one of the facts I’m trying to reveal now. While talking with Sasha, I realized that… I have a skill that can be used like a subspace ring even without a subspace ring. So to speak, it can be said to be my unique skill.”
“Unique… Skill!”
“There is a limit to what you can put in things like weapons and armor, but you can put in as many things as you want, such as materials and food. In other words, you can put in as many things as magic stones and corpses. If it becomes known that I have this ability after receiving Shasha’s advice, I will not do anything for anything. In case of a confrontation, I wore this ring to disguise myself as having a subspace ring.”
The other members didn’t look particularly angry or disappointed in my explanation.
“Certainly Sihan’s ability is one that is coveted by many people.”
“Sasha’s advice can be seen as accurate.”
“Well, I also think it’s better to hide that from others.”
“Wow! The captain is amazing!”
I was a little touched because I felt that this response was proof that I had built good trust with everyone so far.
“Ugh! Unique skill… Unique skill… !”
Atsuval is looking at me a little jealously, but I want that kind of setting too… ! It was the same look of pathological jealousy in middle school.
“Is that all you’re hiding?”
“No, there is one more thing. In fact, this is the main reason I wanted to reveal it to you. I have this unique skill. For convenience, let’s call it inventory. There are other abilities besides this inventory.”
“There is not just one ability, but more… !”
Atsubal’s jealous gaze grew stronger, but he ignored it.
“It is very difficult for me to explain this because it is a recently developed ability.”
“It happened recently?”
“Huh, what kind of ability is it?”
“It’s a quest.”
“”Quest?””
“A request window that only you can see appears in front of you. And when you achieve it, you get a reward.”
“Really?”
“Yes. For example, the reason I entered the academy was because there was a quest to enter the academy. At the time, I had nowhere else to go, so I tried it… And it really paid off.”
“What kind of reward is it?”
“For example, the bone I gave Maika. That was also one of the rewards.”
“I guess I was lying when I said I bought it before.”
“I’m sorry for lying. But there was no other way to explain this phenomenon, so I had no choice but to make excuses.”
“Oh! It’s an ability that rewards you with a bone! That’s great!”
“It’s not just bones. The reward was random.”
“Randomness?”
“The reward I received was something called a rare item box. When you open the box, a reward appears randomly inside. For reference, the one that came out this time is… “This.”
I took out the barrier stone of brilliance from my inventory and showed it to everyone.
“This?”
“To explain further, I was able to find out the name of the item that came out of this rare item box and its function. The name of this jewel is the Radiance Barrier Stone.”
“The barrier stone of brilliance… I can feel that this jewel contains divine power. That is, tremendous divine power.”
Lucas, the priest, seems to feel that way.
“I guess so too. The power of this barrier stone of brilliance is used once a day. It fills a certain area with divine power.”
“Filling a certain area with divine power? I’ve never heard of an object with that kind of power.”
That’s right.
I’ve never seen anything like this in a game either.
“This item could definitely become a secret weapon in the fight against the Chaos Church in the future. The power of chaos is a power that runs counter to divine power. But even if I try to use it, I don’t even disclose the source to you. Suddenly, I wonder where I got something like this. You will have it.”
“That… I guess so.”
“I also thought that I couldn’t keep this secret from my trusted colleagues forever. So I decided to reveal it this time, as it was a good opportunity. This is the secret I’ve been hiding from you.”
“Time, time…”
“That’s how it was.”
“So from now on, if I suddenly pull out an item I’ve never seen before, I hope you think of it as a reward from a quest.”
“Okay, Sihan. I’m just asking for your information, but were there any other rewards besides this?”
“There is. This is the reward I received on the day I obtained the Barrier Stone of Radiance.”
I took out the storm lance.
“This is… A spear. Hmm, I think I’ve seen a spear somewhere.”
“It was explained in my head that it was a storm lance and that it was a spear imbued with the power of wind.”
“Ah, yes. Storm Lance. I remember seeing it too. It was in the royal family’s armory. I remember it as a good weapon. Indeed. I wonder if they give something like this as a reward.”
“Time, by the way, that quest? Didn’t it say something else than entering the academy?”
“There was. It didn’t appear often, but… There was also a quest to create a group.”
“It’s strange. They even give instructions to create groups.”
“In addition, a quest was opened after encountering Fraton. The quest to liberate Fraton.”
“Really? Then maybe this time… No, it didn’t appear because we haven’t encountered it yet?”
“That’s not it, Adelia. After hearing that Munton was injured by Deltra, a quest appeared. Just like with Fraton, it was about liberating Deltra. It wasn’t a direct encounter, but… It appeared after I learned the information. “
“It’s really amazing.”
“What, what kind of ability is that? Ugh… Suddenly, like a revelation, a quest comes down to you, complete it, and get a reward! What kind of enviable ability is this!”
Atsubal did not hide his feelings and openly said that he was jealous.
At that time.
“Uh, uh… Mr. Sihan. I wonder if it’s possible.”
Lucas asked me carefully.
“Mr. Sihan’s ability is a revelation from the Goddess of Creation… Isn’t it?”
