Chapter 44 – Episode 8. Cherry Blossoms and Fireworks.
“What did you do at Prime Hotel? “How did you kill four people with your bare hands?”
Prime Hotel was the name of the hotel where Han Yu-kyung and I stayed. For some reason, I felt like I knew. As soon as we were alone, Grandpa Taira Danzo asked me. He must have figured it out somehow since he knows my underwear size. Strangely enough, he didn’t seem that surprised when he heard that I had killed someone.
“Don’t you know that I have mastered martial arts?”
“Hmm, of course I know that you are trained in martial arts. I also know that your teacher is a champion of the UMC. “Your father said his son was being bullied, so he knelt down to your teacher and asked him to guide you.”
I thought my grandfather had given me the title Fujisanki Rinka, but no. Taira Saburo gave it to me. Still, it seemed like his son couldn’t stand being treated like a father.
“Anyway, I caught four robbers with that martial art.”
“Hmm… That martial art is that strong? “By the way, you were so reckless that you insisted on staying at the hotel.”
Are you saying that the hotel was unconditionally blamed for the raiders coming in?
“Good job. A man from the Tyra family should never bow down easily.”
Yes, I knew my grandfather would say this. What my grandfather said was that you should never bow your head ‘easily.’ It didn’t mean never bow down, it meant don’t bow down easily. He was a grandfather who would tell people to bow their heads whenever there was a big gain. In the end, the essence of the Tyra family is that they are a family of merchants who pursue profit.
“I will never bow down easily.”
“Okay. And he seems to be meeting quite a few women these days. Don’t let something like you happen. “I won’t say anything about going from woman to woman, but she shouldn’t make her babies from outside.”
How much does this old man know? Have they really unleashed ninjas around me? Next time, I’ll have to take a closer look at my surroundings.
“All right.”
“Take this.”
What Grandpa Danzo Taira gave me was a business card. Unusually, it was a business card with only a number and no name. What? Does it mean something?
“If you need to dispose of a body like this one, call here. “Don’t leave it to a hotel or any other strange company, just call here, understand?”
“I understand, Grandpa.”
“Then let’s go have lunch.”
When I seriously answered that I understood, Grandpa Taira Danzo nodded his head in satisfaction and walked ahead toward the restaurant.
Lunch was sushi. I also had sushi rolled in front of my eyes by the chefs themselves. As expected, it was all delicious because it was made by a craftsman. The other chefs seemed to know my meal size in advance, covering two people, but the chef who was making sushi in front of me was making sushi like a machine, marking only me.
I’m also a sensible person, so I didn’t eat to the point where my stomach exploded. The chopsticks were placed appropriately similar to Grandpa Taira Danzo’s. When Grandpa Danjo ate one, I ate three, so the father-in-law in front of me had his hands very busy.
“I had a hard time coming today. “See you in two weeks.”
Since it would be 49 days since Taira Saburo died in two weeks, it seemed like he wanted to see me then. Taira Yukiko and I said hello to Taira Danzo, Taira Shizuku, and Taira Kanna and then got on the car to go home.
###
When I returned to the house of the Human Resources Development Center, I lay down on the bed and looked at the translucent window. Actually, I should have sent Han Yu-kyung and watched it yesterday, but I was exhausted from the battle and sex, so I just broke down when I got home.
The next day, I had to wake up in the morning and go to my parents’ house, and only now was I able to check again the translucent window that had just come up yesterday.
When you encounter an abyssal being, your abyss stat increases by 3.
I was taught a forbidden skill that no one in this world knows about by the being of the abyss.
Acquire the skill [Shadow Control].
I was the first to gain favorability with the being of the abyss [Daughter of the Abyss]. Abyss stat increases by 2. The attribute Golden Pillar is slightly strengthened.
Acquire the characteristic seal of the Daughter of the Abyss.
First of all, the abyss stat increased by a total of 5, making the abyss stat 9. Now there is only a 5 difference from the 14 will. I need to take care of it a little bit. Now that we’ve checked the stats, let’s check out the new skill, Shadow Control.
◆Shadow Domination [Unique Legendary Skill]
A technique to manipulate shadows using the abyss. This is a skill that Jin Yong-tae/Taira Ryuta/■■■ acquired from the Daughter of the Abyss when they fell into the space of the Abyss.
It grants physical power to the shadow and can be freely controlled using the abyss.
It’s a legendary skill. The technology side was not enviable. Since Shinkaiyatsude is a mythical martial art and Shadow Control is a legendary skill, there was no need to worry about the skill level. And I heard that the Golden Pillar would be slightly strengthened, so I checked and found that one sentence had been added.
The increase in the experience of the golden pillar and the increase in the opponent’s favorability also affect heterogeneous beings.
It seemed like this was all a result of kissing the daughter of the abyss. It seems that the Golden Pillar worked properly because it was said that it was the first time to gain favor with the Daughter of the Abyss. Because kissing is considered a part of sexual activity, although it is subtle, the level of favorability has increased.
Next are the characteristics. It is the seal of the Daughter of the Abyss… It was a trait that could not be guessed just by looking at the name.
◆Daughter of the Abyss’ Seal [Unique Attribute]
The indelible mark of the Daughter of the Abyss’s lips is imprinted on your soul. The Daughter of the Abyss can now track you down if she wants. She receives her mark from someone with the highest level and gains absolute resistance to medium and lower level soul bodies. The septal and inferior soul bodies are afraid of you and are reluctant to do so.
First of all, the effect is that the Daughter of the Abyss can track me, and in addition to being afraid of me and being reluctant to do so, soul bodies of intermediate or lower level gain absolute resistance. Spiritual bodies were commonly referred to as ghosts and spirits.
Ghosts and spirits are monsters that occasionally appear in Megacorp’s Youngest Son, but they were quite annoying because they were monsters that could not be caught if you only invested physical strength. The defense coefficient that calculates the attack of the soul body was calculated not by the armor worn, but by the will, which is a mental stat, so physical-oriented users who did not invest will had a difficult time.
However, from the moment I obtained the Daughter of the Abyss seal, I gained absolute resistance to attacks from medium-level or lower soul bodies, so I felt more comfortable. However, it wasn’t just an advantage. If you look at the last sentence, that souls below intermediate level are afraid of you and are reluctant to do so, you could see that the spirit priest class was in trouble from the moment they obtained the seal of the Daughter of the Abyss. Because it was not a fantasy world, the profession of elementalist was very rare.
I roughly confirmed what I had gotten from the Daughter of the Abyss, and then it was time to do the attribute gacha with the level up I got from killing the attackers. Before that, I increased my stats by 2 to strength. Now the strength stat was 10. It was the maximum power an ordinary person could have. Since you are now level 6, one of the three will definitely be related to the skills or characteristics you have learned up to this point. Shall we check what popped up?
Please select a characteristic
①Increasing the level of playback characteristics ②High-speed driving ③Shooting expert
The regeneration characteristic rose to level 5 after being shot a lot this time. However, since it was still at an early level, there was no need to choose. It’s worth taking at least at level 15, but it was a waste to use the trait that only gives one at level 1 here. Driving at high speeds or being an expert at shooting were characteristics that did not necessarily need to be developed. I took pictures for no reason, but in the second half, when the characteristics of shooting, which are not my main focus, came up, I was in tears, so I didn’t choose.
With the [Enhance Potential] Option of the item [Yeouiju], You can change the characteristics that can be selected by leveling up to random characteristics of a higher grade. Do you want to change it?
Always change! As I chanted in my heart, the previous characteristics disappeared and new characteristics emerged.
Please select a characteristic
①Shadow weapon modeling ②Telekinesis ③Language knowledge
Looking at the name, Shadow Weapon Formation seemed like the ability to create weapons from shadows. It seems that Shadow Weapon Formation, a related trait, appeared because of Shadow Mastery. As a martial artist, I don’t need this ability, so I’ll pass on it.
As for the rest, I liked both of them, but first of all, telekinesis was a skill that I wanted to get from a long time ago because it is a skill proportional to the will stat I invested the most in.
Language knowledge was a series of oo knowledge that occasionally appeared when leveling up and selecting characteristics. It was a good trait that raised the knowledge stat, which requires reading books or learning, and even imparted related knowledge. If I chose language knowledge, I could easily learn the language of that country later when I went to the United States or another country.
In the end, what I chose was telekinesis. Since I could learn other languages without special skills by just working harder, I chose telekinesis, which I couldn’t get even with normal effort.
◆Telekinetic power [Narrative characteristic]
You can use your mental powers to move objects or cause damage. Telekinesis also appears in the skill box. The power of telekinesis is proportional to the skill level and will stat.
The explanation was simple. But it was one of the most useful characteristics. It was a trait, but it was affected by skill level. That’s why I had to practice regularly. I concentrated on the pen in front of the computer. The pen twitched and responded to my telekinesis. It’s still only a little twitchy, but it will get better.
