Chapter 31 – Mom Is Angry (3)
“Rather than that, please repeat what you said earlier. She got away with that goat bitch? “With your own strength?”
Lilith, who had downed several pieces of the cake and beer combination, asked while licking the cream from the corner of her mouth.
I can’t believe I ate so many pieces of cake before I could even finish one… Well, it’s just because I don’t like sweet things.
Anyway, I opened my mouth at Lilith’s words.
“Oh, that’s it.”
I was curious about this too.
Even though I escaped from the satyr on my own, I myself didn’t know why. He had planned to ask Lilith sometime, so he told her in detail what had happened.
Well, I already said it once, so there was no need to feel embarrassed now.
I was intoxicated by the scent of a satyr, and was attacked by a satyr, unable to move, and almost eaten. After coming to my senses, I told her once again the story of how I escaped from that satyr. Lilith seemed to be thinking about something at my words. It seemed.
“…No matter how you look at it, it looks like a gift.”
Gift.
In this world, people who are born with a constitution that accepts mana well, and who later acquire a body that has adapted or changed due to such mana, or have unique abilities or talents, are called gifts.
As the name suggests, it is an acquired paranormal ability that is no different from a gift.
I won that lottery?
No, lotto is its own thing. There are all kinds of gifts in this world, so it’s too early to like it.
Isn’t there also an example of a human being who was given the gift of being able to emit fire, water, and all kinds of things through his mouth, also known as ‘breath’, which is widely known as the most sickening gift in the world?
He can spit fire and water with his mouth, but humans do not have any organs that can spit fire or water, and even though he had a gift, other than that, he was an ordinary human being.
Naturally, there have been instances where people have suffered burns to their mouths and esophagus from the fire they have spewed out, or, conversely, almost suffocated from the water they have spewed out.
There are such stupid gifts in this world.
In the first place, such a gift was like a lottery for me in the past, since I received funding for research and other things.
I had enough to live off of right now, but to receive such a stupid gift was a terrible thing in the world.
I had already taken the gift test in the first place, and was judged invincible there as well.
So, you suddenly got a gift?
No, that could be true.
In the end, a gift refers to changes that occur in the body due to acquired mana.
From the beginning, it was a talent that was acquired.
However, Gift was also in the realm of talent.
It’s easy to say that someone was born with a constitution that was good at accepting mana, but it was simply the realm of natural talent, like people with fast legs or good brains. No, perhaps a talent more rare than someone simply born with it.
He is truly a genius with talent bestowed upon him by heaven.
Among those geniuses, he was lucky enough to receive the gift only when a part of his body accepted mana and evolved on its own.
Genius can only be born when heavenly luck is added to it.
Those were the gift holders.
I, too, had my gifts checked to see if my body was muscular even without eating anything, or my height was well over 180cm even though I grew up in an orphanage, and if this was due to the influence of mana or something.
However, the result is invincible.
All I could tell was that I had a constitution that accepted mana a little easily.
A constitution that accepts a little more mana than others.
Other than that, it was an ordinary body with nothing special.
I thought that having a muscular body or growing taller would have some influence, but it seems it’s just genetics.
What kind of people were my father and mother?
Anyway, as a result, I had already told Lilith that I was invulnerable to gifts. That’s why Lilith looked at my face here and there and then tilted her head.
“But no matter how I look at it, there’s nothing particularly strange about it.”
“Can you tell that just by looking at it?”
“Roughly.”
At my words, Lilith looked at me blankly and said.
“In the end, it changes because of mana. All you need to do is check to see if there is a place where mana is particularly concentrated. A circle created to use magic, a danjeon created to use martial arts… These are ultimately the same as artificially creating an organ in the body for mana. “It’s a so-called artificial gift.”
“An artificial gift?”
“Yes, artificial gift. Unlike that, gifts can be viewed as something that arises naturally. If something like Circle or Danjeon is an artificial gift or strawberry grown systematically, then the gift is just like raspberries grown in the mountains.”
Strawberries and raspberries…
I feel like I know, but I’m not sure.
Anyway, whether I thought I had figured it out or not, Lilith said, poking a strawberry on my cake with her fork.
“Thanks to this, it is not systematic, and because of the mana that spreads arbitrarily, its shape and abilities are all arbitrary. So it’s a bit uneven… But the few gifts that are created through coincidence are very powerful. Just as there are sometimes raspberries that are more delicious than the house strawberries that were created with great effort through cultivar improvement, fertilizer, etc. Anyway, in the end, Circle and Danjeon are similar guys. So there are a lot of things you can learn by looking at it.”
Is that so?
All I could understand was that if you wanted to know whether a gift was present or not, you could tell by looking at the mana in the body.
Now that I think about it, when I was doing a gift check, I went into some kind of machine and ended up scanning my body.
I guess it was a machine that looked at the mana accumulated in my body.
“But you don’t seem to have anything like that. I guess it’s true that I have a constitution that allows me to receive mana well, but I have more mana stored in my body than average, but other than that, I’m normal. But, you resisted that satyr bitch.”
Hmm, Lilith thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“Well, okay. Then, if you try to do something similar to then, you will find out.”
“Similarly?”
“Okay.”
Lilith said, tapping the table.
“Because I resisted the characteristics of a satyr bitch. There are a lot of crazy bitches, but satyrs are also a strong race in their own way. However, if it can resist that, there is a possibility that it is a very powerful gift. It could also be a spiritual gift. “It’s hard to find out even through gift inspection… Moreover, it’s quite rare.”
Lilith’s eyes were seen shining red.
“Now, ‘raise your hand’.”
“Uh.”
At Lilith’s words, my right hand goes up. I said to my right hand, which rose arbitrarily.
“No, what is it? “What did you do?”
“It’s simple hypnosis. But aren’t you listening too well? Is this just a lack of tolerance? Since I walked weakly, there is no way I could get caught this easily, but in this case…”
Lilith, who continued speaking, soon pursed her lips.
“What is this case?”
A release that cuts off before speaking. When I asked Lilith, who was practicing one of the most annoying behaviors in the world, Lilith blushed when she saw me and said,
“Noisy. Anyway, I don’t think it’s the mental part. “Then what is it?”
Why are you suddenly so angry and upset?
Anyway, I guess Lilith doesn’t know much either.
No, wait.
Now that I think about it…
“Well, actually, you’ve resisted a satyr before, right? “It was like that when I first saw her.”
“What? “Didn’t Hoaran save you?”
“That’s true. Before that, I was already annoyed by the scent. Then, when I woke up and was beaten by Ssangyokbakda, Hoa-ran came to me.”
Lilith, who flinched at those words and shook her shoulders, spoke to me in a low voice.
“…Why are you saying that now?”
“Det.”
Lilith’s two eyes were seen shining red.
“You got hit? To that bitch? Where? How? I didn’t hear that? But you just forgave that bitch for that?”
“No…”
You didn’t know?
How could you not know?
No.
It didn’t take long for Lilith to chase after me and Hoaran. In fact, since Lilith came to visit us shortly after being saved from Hoaran, it is possible that we could not have heard or received detailed information from anywhere.
When I saw Lilith again, she was already in good condition thanks to Hoaran’s actions.
It could have been that he almost fell for being possessed by the satyr, but was saved by Hoaran.
“…Well, let’s skip that.”
“What are you going to skip?”
“Wow,” Lilith gritted her teeth.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent that bitch away so unscathed… With at least one arm…”
Scary Lehu.
I need to turn things around quickly.
“Anyway, it was the same back then and the time after that when I escaped from that satyr bitch. Well… It’s a bit weird to say it this way. “Anyway, I had an erection.”
“…What? “What is this pervert bastard saying all of a sudden?”
I know.
Lilith frowns at the mention of erections and all. To be honest, I thought that too, but it was still true.
Both the first time and the second time, I was completely captivated by the satyr’s body, and when I ended up having a full erection, I came back to my senses.
The only thing they had in common was that I was fully erect at the time.
“No, I’m not kidding. Really. “After I got an erection, I suddenly felt fine.”
After saying that over and over again, Lilith must have realized that I wasn’t playing around. Lilith, with a serious expression, opened her mouth.
“If that’s true, it could be a conditional gift. “This is the first time I’ve heard of a gift that requires an erection to activate.”
“A conditional gift?”
“Okay. Originally, in most cases, the gift itself had a part of the body deteriorated and gained abilities that did not originally exist. Sometimes, there are gifts that only appear under certain conditions. “A famous thing you might know is… Do you know ‘clairvoyance’?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
A gift that looks like an idiot spewing out anything from its mouth. While ‘Breath’ was famous for being an asshole, ‘Clairsight’ was famous for something different.
Because it was a gift that allowed you to see wherever you wanted from where you sat.
Thanks to its incredible performance, it was a gift that governments around the world were spending a huge amount of money on to research.
It was only natural that it was a gift with so many uses, as long as you knew how to apply it to other things.
“When she became clairvoyant, it was when she lost sight in one of her eyes. ‘You must have one eye’ was the condition for the gift to appear.”
“Mother. Then I might not have known about it for the rest of my life.”
“Yes, maybe that’s why, unlike existing gifts, gifts with conditions are stronger than other gifts. Well, not everything that is strong is good.”
Anyway, Lilith raised the corner of her mouth.
“Good. “If the condition of your gift is ‘only when erect,’ it will be easy to check.”
“Det?”
I had a bad feeling about what Lilith said.
I looked at Lilith with goosebumps running up my back and an ominous feeling for some reason. Lilith smiled brightly at me and said,
“What are you doing? “Don’t stop.”
