v8c313 - The skill acquired from the mermaid, Lavinia
“Lord Alex. This much wood should suffice.”
“All right. Let’s go back. Sophie, please.”
“Yes, sir. We will go back then.”
I took the bear-eared girl, who had been given the job of woodcutter, Sophie, and Ceasar back to the top of the wall and into the forest in the northwest area.
After having Caesar carry a good amount of wood, we were on our way to the magic train to return to the east resting area…
“Alex. Can I have a word with you?”
Ellie was waiting for me, raising her eyebrows along the way.
“Ellie, is something wrong?”
“Yes. Ms. Meilin told me that Alex’s old lover showed up …….”
“Hmm? Who?”
“Ms. Lavinia, she says she’s very beautiful.”
Ah, so Sakura’s doll turned into a message game, and the story was distorted and passed on to Ellie.
“It’s my first time meeting Lavinia. I just met her a while ago, and she’s a mermaid, to begin with.”
“A mermaid!? Alex was in a relationship with a mermaid!?”
“No, no, no. To begin with, we’ve been partying together since we got our first job at the age of fifteen, right? Did you ever meet a mermaid during that time?”
“No …… I mean, mermaids are as rare as angels, I’ve never met one before.”
“Right? Lavinia is mistaken about many things. I’ve told her that many times, though.”
“However, we can now see those rare angel tribesmen normally. Recently, an angel named Ms. Aasha came, and when I told her that Alex was not here, she said she would be back and left right away.”
So something like that happened while I was gone.
Speaking of Aasia, it’s the girl who dropped a bomb saying that she wants to be my mistress …… I wonder what she came here to do.
I hope she didn’t come to become my mistress …… as she declared.
“At any rate, I’m relieved to know that the information is false but …… I mean, did you do it with her?”
“Uh …… S-Sorry.”
“That’s all right, but aren’t there going to be a big gathering of rare species like the angels again, right?”
“I-I think we’re fine? Mermaids don’t fly …… or rather, they can only travel by sea or river.”
“I see. Okay. It’s good to hear it directly from you. Well, I’m going to go home and rest, but don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
Ellie kissed me and walked back into the house…
“Alex!”
Neve came running in to replace her.
“I’ve heard from MIss Meilin. I heard you took a mermaid girl.”
“W-Well …… I guess that’s not wrong.”
“That means you’ve got a new skill, right? Let’s go to Miss Shelly’s place and ask her to tell us about your newly acquired skill.”
“What!? Neve!? What’s going on all of a sudden!?”
I think it’s unusual for Neve to go to Shelly’s place, but she forcefully pulled me by the hand and went to Shelly’s place.
I made Caesar to wait for now, and then Neve, Sophie, the bear-eared girl, and I went to Shelly’s place and told her what had happened,
“Okay, I get it. I mean, I understand how Neve feels too. Come on, Alex. As always, if you want to know about the skill, make love to us!”
I knew it, this turn of events.
I knew there was no use in resisting against Shelly, so I used my clone technique skill, but I suddenly had a question in mind, so I asked.
“Huh? How Neve feels?”
“Alex. You have to understand how a woman feels. Alex always enjoys the bath with the others, but Neve misses you since she can’t be in a warm bath. Here she can do it with all her might and make lots of love. I’m fine with a clone.”
So that’s how it is.
It’s true that Neve didn’t join the second half of the group in the bath, and afterwards Fiine put her to sleep …… If she had been left alone, she might have gone out of control like Kate and the others.
Those three in the Ullarad City became a mess, after all.
I decided to satisfy them, thinking that maybe Neve was close to her limit, since she decided to bring me to Shelly’s place for some reason.
A while later, while I was stroking the head of Neve, who was quite disheveled but now hugging me and wanting to be spoiled, Shelly opens her mouth.
“Well then, as promised, let me tell you about Alex’s newly acquired skill. It looks like you got a pretty good skill …… It’s called Immortality (Weak).”
“Immortality!? What!? Eeeeeeeeh!?”
“No, the effect is weak, so it doesn’t mean you’re completely immortal. Let’s see …… it’s rough, but I think it’s about twice the lifespan of the normal human race? At any rate, I don’t want you to pass away and leave anyone with a long life span, such as myself or the girl from the angel girl, alone. We should actively collect these kinds of skills.”
Shelly said that casually, but twice the lifespan of a normal human …… Seriously!?
