Chapter 47: Caught Peeking!
"Why has this skill disappeared?"
Murasaki, who was looking at the skill, asked because there was a display he had never seen before. When a skill is converted into a unique skill, it can no longer be used and turns gray with a red "X" mark over it.
"Oh, you can think of it as one of the curses. I can't explain in detail..."
"...Seems like there's some reason behind it. Well, it's already exceptional to acquire a monster skill in the first place!"
After that, the two of them continued talking and watching me for a while.
Will they keep watching until I refuse?
"Huh?"
Shikibu noticed something.
"Could it be that you were able to see my status without me disclosing it?"
...They noticed, huh?
Due to the high level of [Appraisal Eye], I can see it without their consent, just like I did earlier.
"Oh, I'm sorry if that made you uncomfortable."
Given the circumstances, I needed to confirm some things, so I took the liberty to check.
They proposed showing their status, so I explained that it was difficult for me to refuse, as it seemed they had a certain determination.
"Oh no, we're not blaming you. We just want to know the reason you found out our secret."
Shikibu answered with a smile.
"If you happen to have a skill that reveals secrets other than status, we'd like to cooperate with you in the future."
While saying that, she looked at Murasaki.
Murasaki's face twitched.
...Women can be scary.
"In that case, I think I can help."
Kuro joined the conversation.
"Oh yeah, Kuro can see through lies!"
"Well!"
While Shikibu seemed delighted, Murasaki's expression was hard to read.
Even if you have nothing to hide, it can still make you uneasy.
"Is that all settled?"
Feeling like there's no end to this, I decided to speak up.
"Ah, sorry about that."
"Oh, it's just that it's rare to see something like that, I got a little fascinated. Anyway, should we sit down for now?"
"By the way, could you tell us about the contents of your Unique Skills?"
"You also acquired them, right?"
"I did acquire them, but even if the names are the same, the effects might be different, so I wanted to ask just to be sure."
"I see, got it."
[Godspeed] is the ability to increase agility tenfold. This not only affects the physical body but also magic skills.
[Intimidation] can paralyze someone for twenty seconds. However, if there is a significant level difference, it may not work.
"Thank you. They're mostly the same."
We all sat down on the sofa, and I asked again.
"Is it possible to register with the guild?"
"There's no provision saying you can't register as a jobless person, and you're definitely at least Rank A in terms of strength, but at first, you'll be assigned to Rank G. Are you okay with that?"
"Yeah, that's fine. Also, I'd like you to tell me about the rules and such."
"All right, Murasaki, call Iria here!"
"Sure, just wait a moment."
Murasaki stood up, opened the door, and called Iria loudly from the hallway.
