Chapter 68

"Skills"

"Yes, they are special abilities that some people possess. There are those you are born with and those that skilled warriors and craftsmen can acquire through practice."

Endelia explained while pouring tea.

"Being able to measure Lady Yui's figure by sight and figure out the correct way to wear Storl's armor sounds like a sub-identification skill related to tailoring, doesn't it?"

Mimachi said as she tidied up the table and laid out a lunch mat.

My hand, which had instinctively reached for the sewing tools I had put down, was caught by Mimachi, who smiled at me.

"Lord Yui, it's time for a break, okay?"

"? It's earlier than usual."

"It's not early at all! You were making gloves so easily, I was caught off guard! That emblem must be very tiring!"

I jumped at being scolded by Mimachi for the first time.

"Skills that cause level dizziness, emblems, are completely techniques that require physical strength and magic power!"

Oh, Mimachi is serious, she's scary.

It's more like a magic circle than an emblem, but if I say that, she might get even angrier.

"Lord Yui, please have some tea."

Endelia also smiled and offered, but she seemed to be in a bad mood too.

"Um, I'm fine."

"Let's take a break, okay? Huh?"

I wanted to say that I hadn't done anything that would get me scolded, but the pressure of "okay?" only allowed me to say "yes."

At that moment, Luuluu, who had been giving Schnell water, interjected.

"Both of you, please calm down. Lord Yui is fine."

"But it's a technique that causes level fluctuations! I'm the most confident in my knowledge! There are occasional human craftsmen!"

"Since Lord Yui returned from the evening party, Lord Rodan has been 'examining' and 'seeing' her. Lord Yui is recovering very well. I told both of you that. For Lord Yui, it's a skill she can handle with ease."

Hearing Luuluu, the tense atmosphere between the two eased.

"But before that, the condition was too bad, so frequent breaks are important."

"Y-Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Yui. In my hometown, there are occasional human craftsmen who bet their lives on romance... level-up dizziness, fainting, and then falling into a permanent sleep."

"Yes, Lord Yui, even when making gloves, you didn't faint. I overreacted. I'm sorry, Lord Yui."

I smiled and said "I'm fine" to both of them while drinking tea, and looked at the exhausted Schnell.

Yeah. For me, the purification magic circle is no problem, whether it's embroidery or braiding.

...The problem was Ariadne's thread.

It was quite difficult to make her clothes after getting her permission. Now, making gloves is fine.

But this is a pair of gloves for the guardian of the country, made with Ariadne's permission and at her request. I can handle it without any problems, I'm sure.

Just like Schnell realized he couldn't modify that harisen yet, I can tell too.

The material level is too high! If I sew everyone's equipment with Ariadne's spider thread, I could make clothes that could easily handle something dozens or hundreds of times stronger than the boss created from the previous queen's curse.

But it's impossible!

If Ariadne doesn't give her permission, I'll faint after just one stitch.

Fainting, permanent sleep, no doubt about it.

"......"

Yeah. I'll keep quiet. I won't do such a reckless thing.

No problem, no problem.
