Chapter 66

Granting Skills

โ€œThe ability of this โ€˜orbโ€™ seems to be โ€˜Flight.'โ€

โ€œWaitโ€ฆ itโ€™s not something used for healing?โ€

โ€œOrbs made by compressing medicinal herbs are probably used for healing, and Mahoroba grass for restoring magic powerโ€ฆ So, I guess the compressed itemโ€™s properties are extracted or something like that.โ€

โ€œI think I get itโ€ฆ So since you compressed an Airfish, does that mean you canโ€ฆ fly?โ€

โ€œWeโ€™ll have to try it out, but given the potential effect, doing it on flat ground is kind of scary.โ€

Even if I fell into the water, I wouldnโ€™t get hurt, but there are other monsters in the water, and Iโ€™d rather not get wet again after taking so long to dry my clothes.

โ€œPi-pi-pi!โ€

โ€œOhโ€ฆ you guys were nearby, huh?โ€

The squids we captured earlier poked their heads out from the river. It seems they remember us wellโ€”even though weโ€™ve left and come back from the dungeon, they havenโ€™t forgotten us.

โ€œPi!โ€

โ€œHm? Whatโ€™s with that behavior?โ€

โ€œAre theyโ€ฆ keeping other monsters away?โ€

The squids were emitting some sort of sound wave, and the Airfish, which could have easily attacked us, had gone unusually quiet.

โ€œI seeโ€ฆ In this river, you guys are the โ€˜masters,โ€™ huh?โ€

The squids seemed to puff up with prideโ€”whatever the case, it looked like testing out the Flight orb here had become a lot easier.

โ€œJust to be safe, could you step back a bit, Nanami-san?โ€

โ€œOkayโ€ฆ be careful.โ€

To be honest, I was pretty nervousโ€”if it worked like the Airfishโ€™s flight, I might shoot off like a bullet the moment I used the orb.

(Itโ€™s a gambleโ€ฆ but it should be doableโ€ฆ right?)

ใ€ŠTemporary Skill: Flightใ€‹

โ€œOhโ€ฆ whoaโ€ฆ!โ€

When I held the Flight orb and willed it to activate, it workedโ€”thankfully, I didnโ€™t lose control and start flying uncontrollably. My body gently lifted into the air.

โ€œโ€ฆYouโ€™re flyingโ€ฆ Fujiwara-kun, itโ€™s like youโ€™re a psychic.โ€

โ€œHehโ€ฆ well, if I were a โ€˜magician,โ€™ Iโ€™d probably be able to use flight magic too.โ€

โ€œMagitech engineers can also make flying magic tools. The most famous is the magic broom, but itโ€™s not something you can easily makeโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve heard flight magic is really difficult too.โ€

The Flight orb didnโ€™t grant permanent flying; it only lasted for a limited time. However, when the time ran out, it gradually brought you back down, preventing any accidents from falling.

โ€œIโ€™ll go check if I can make it to the other side.โ€

โ€œThe monsters have quieted down, but still, be careful.โ€

The river was about 200 meters wide, but I flew across easily. I could control the flight just as I imagined, though trying any acrobatic maneuvers might make me dizzy, so I kept things level as I returned.

โ€œPhewโ€ฆ looks like we can get across. Building a bridge would have been risky without proper supports.โ€

โ€œFujiwara-kun, do you think I can use that orb too?โ€

โ€œI think so, butโ€ฆ it would be best if you could fly on your own, Nanami-san.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not sure if I can do it as well as you, but Iโ€™ll give it a try.โ€

I handed the Flight orb to Nanami-san. I prepared myself, like a beach flag contestant, ready to catch her in case she fell.

โ€œAlright, here I goโ€ฆ Ohโ€ฆ amazingโ€ฆ I feel so lightโ€ฆโ€

Nanami-san activated the orb and floated into the airโ€”though she seemed to struggle with maintaining her balance.

โ€œโ€”Kyah!โ€

After rising about three meters, she spun around in midair. And, in a skirt, thatโ€™s not exactly idealโ€ฆ

โ€œD-Donโ€™t lookโ€ฆ sorry, this is harder than I thoughtโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI-Itโ€™s okayโ€ฆ take it slow and try to get back to your original posture.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆ oh, I think I can get backโ€ฆโ€

She carefully managed to right herselfโ€”but now she couldnโ€™t figure out how to descend.

โ€œUmโ€ฆ what should I do?โ€

โ€œThe effect should wear off soon, butโ€ฆ if you want to come down now, I couldโ€ฆโ€

โ€œโ€”Kyah!โ€

Just as I was about to offer to catch her, she shriekedโ€”I instinctively moved to catch her.

โ€œFumohโ€ฆ!โ€

โ€œNnโ€ฆ I-Iโ€™m sorry, I fell all of a suddenโ€ฆโ€

I managed to catch her, butโ€”letโ€™s just say it was the first time in my life I experienced something like this. My head ended up right under her skirt. In other words, my face wasโ€ฆ directly in contact withโ€ฆ

โ€œFumohhโ€ฆ! (Sorryโ€ฆ!)โ€

โ€œD-Donโ€™tโ€ฆ itโ€™s okay, just donโ€™t talk right nowโ€ฆโ€

Her thighs gently squeezed my cheeksโ€”who knew such blissful suffocation could exist in this world?

โ€œJustโ€ฆ slowly lower yourselfโ€ฆ yes, like thatโ€ฆโ€

Following her instructions, I bent my knees to lower her down. But we were still a bit high up.

โ€œโ€ฆYou can grab onto me now if you wantโ€ฆโ€

I placed my hands on her slender waist and lifted her downโ€”everything I touched was so soft, I found myself dazed even after setting her down.

โ€œโ€ฆIt seems flying with this orb is too difficult for me. Maybe you can handle it because youโ€™re the one who made the orb, Fujiwara-kun.โ€

โ€œIs that soโ€ฆ Maybe youโ€™re right. If thatโ€™s the case, it might be hard for anyone else to use the orbs.โ€

โ€œMaybe itโ€™s just me who canโ€™t use it, but if the other two had the same trouble, youโ€™d be in quite a situation, Fujiwara-kun.โ€

โ€œHahahaโ€ฆโ€

โ€œItโ€™s no laughing matter. Iโ€™m fine, but for Mikuriya-san and the others, itโ€™d be a disaster.โ€

With Nanami-san saying that, it might be best to avoid any accidents ahead of time.

Especially with Haruka-senpaiโ€”if I ended up in this same situation with her, it would cause all sorts of problems, depending on what kind of dreams sheโ€™s been having latelyโ€ฆ

โ—†โ—‡โ—†

When we returned to the tent, Haruka-senpai had already moved to the larger tent and changed her clothes. Futaba-san was also fully prepared, and I started packing up the tent to compress it once again.

โ€œโ€ฆUm, Iโ€™m sorry, I ended up falling asleep.โ€

โ€œNo, I think you were tired too, Haruka-senpai. Did you rest well?โ€

While I glanced over to see Futaba-san talking with Nanami-san a little farther away, Haruka-senpai came closer to meโ€”and whispered in my ear.

โ€œโ€ฆMy body feels completely refreshed. So, donโ€™t worry.โ€

โ€œI-I seeโ€ฆ um, thatโ€™s kind of ticklish, so could you notโ€ฆโ€

โ€œJust a moment ago, you were being so intenseโ€ฆ Youโ€™re unexpectedly like a bedroom bully, arenโ€™t you?โ€

โ€œA bedโ€ฆ?โ€

Earlier, Haruka-senpai had been quite worked up and guided my hand to her chest without really realizing it. Midway, I had to use โ€˜Night Crawling Handโ€™ to put her to sleep, but now it seemed like she had mistaken the dream she saw for reality.

โ€œWhen I woke up naked in your sleeping bag, I was surprisedโ€ฆ But I realized, itโ€™s not about the โ€˜Secret Crest of Alchemy.โ€™ Iโ€™m happy it was with you.โ€

โ€œSister, shall we get going? Itโ€™s not good to whisper in the middle of a party activity.โ€

โ€œHeheโ€ฆ Sorry, there was something I wanted to talk about now. Letโ€™s go, Tsukasa-kun.โ€

Sheโ€™s switched from calling me โ€˜Fujiwara-kunโ€™ to using my first nameโ€”meaning that in Haruka-senpaiโ€™s mind, sheโ€™s convinced we went all the way, or that I was some kind of bedroom tyrant.

Haruka-senpai winked at me as she let Futaba-san go ahead of us. I knew I had to explain the truth calmly and as soon as possibleโ€”but it seemed that wouldnโ€™t be easy until we escaped the dungeon.

The dream of a dungeon explorer is to bring back all the found treasures. A little while ago, dungeons suddenly appeared all over Japan. Simultaneously, humans awakened to their individual 'classes,' and 'explorers' who ventured into dungeons teeming with monsters to harvest treasures became a profession. "Dungeon exploration" was added to the curriculum of students, and "explorer training schools" with dungeons on their premises were established nationwide. "Tsukasa Fujiwara," a new student at the academy, recalls on the day of the entrance ceremony that he had a past life and encountered a goddess due to a tragic death in another world, wishing for reincarnation. "I want to eliminate the problem of being a baggage carrier when reincarnated." In response to that wish, the goddess had given him a certain skill at the time of reincarnation. However, since this skill couldn't be recognized by those around him, Tsukasa found himself being underestimated from the beginning of his school lifeโ€”.
