"Alright, gentlen, how are we feeling?"
What is the greatest rit of power leveling? I believe it's ti reduction.To reach the level cap of Class 5 within a week, and also carefully select skills and jobs, we must prioritize efficiency.
"Do you think there's any way I'd say 'great'?! What the hell was this week?! I never thought hell would be here!! I never imagined having my als and sleep entirely managed would make feel like dying!!""But you got stronger, right?""I did!? I thought it might be a dream, but seeing my stats actually at Class 5 is amazing, I think!!"
In that case, there's no choice but to push forward with ga-brained, unreasonable demands that practically say "Human rights? What are those, do they taste good?"
After undergoing sothing you could call 'training? No, it's torture,' none of the people here, who had reached the supposedly unattainable Class 5 in this world, could simply rejoice.
"Nice retort. Reaching Class 5 has sharpened your wit even more.""I didn't want to improve like this!!"
Wake up in the morning -> Dungeon. Eat lunch -> Dungeon. Eat dinner -> Dungeon. Before bath -> Dungeon. Before sleep -> Dungeon.
That was the basic rotation of our training.
"Every single one was a dungeon with higher-level enemies!! How many tis did you think I'd die!?""I hope it wasn't over a hundred.""It's because you think like that that I'm pissed off!! Understand!?"
I understand why Judeus is furious, but this was necessary, so it can't be helped.
"Shut up, Judeus."
Amidst that environnt, the n started making resolved expressions towards Judeus, whose codic timing had improved.But the biggest change was...
"If you get that angry, wrinkles will stay on your face, you know?""You're the one who's changed too much!! I'm a man!! I always said that, didn't I?!!"
...that Sharia had awakened to cross-dressing, just like in the original.Sharia, who had a complex about his feminine face, accumulated imnse stress during this week-long dungeon rush.
I did pay considerable attention to alcohol and als for stress relief, and prepared high-quality bedding.
It's no exaggeration to say that preparing the tools is the most important part of power leveling.That includes not just equipnt, but the living environnt as well.
"Did I say that?"
Even in such a plentiful living environnt, stress relief is necessary, and various forms of it erged.The most common was the n increasing their exposure during breaks.They said clothes got in the way during muscle training, so being shirtless beca normal, wearing only underwear beca normal, and getting naked after drinking beca normal.
Ever since using the Magic Elixir, these n, who had gotten a taste of liberation, found stress relief in not wearing clothes.When I pointed it out, their motivation dropped noticeably. Since they properly wore equipnt during combat, I let it slide for private ti.
Then, naked drinking parties beca the default, and complaints ca in from the maids.So, I changed the drinking companions to butlers.
They enjoyed their brief respite by reveling in their daily trained bodies.
"I did say it!!""But I don't want to hear that from you while you're naked?""Hah!? Since when were you—"
Among them, the one who mastered the technique of unconsciously undressing while still making retorts was Judeus.It wasn't in the original, but he might have been the one most hooked on the liberating feeling of the Magic Elixir.
Judeus, pointed out by Sharia (male, though you could mistake him for a beautiful girl), was surprised to find himself undressing unconsciously.And Sharia, who initially had a rough, masculine tone, had now beco a proper 'bokukko' (girl using male pronouns).
For Sharia, it was less about stress and more about getting hooked—or perhaps falling into the swamp—once he actually tried it.While saying he was tired and unmotivated, using costics to care for his skin made him more beautiful. His stats increased, enhancing the effect further, and he beca captivated by his own beauty.Once that cycle starts, a true enthusiast dives deeper and deeper.
"Sharia has beco quite the fine lady, hasn't he?""Hey now! You're the one who dragged down this path, Liberta-kun, right? You have to take responsibility.""I did take responsibility and trained you properly, didn't I?"
Gradually, his tone and gestures beca more careful, and now he's transford into a proper 'little devil' type—a seductive woman who bewitches n.Sohow, perhaps because he was originally male, he can imagine the gestures that n would appreciate.He's winking at right now, but if I didn't know Sharia's true nature, my heart might have skipped a beat.
The other n, except Judeus, are already captivated, treating him as a sacred, idol-like figure that must never be touched.He possesses a certain charisma different from Amina's.
"Ugh, that's not what I ant, you know?""I know that's not why you hired , right?""Okay, then? So, what are we going to do now?""First, the rest of you, put your clothes on. It's work ti."
Thinking to myself that they've turned out weirder than expected, I consoled myself that this is probably the best one can do on short notice.I was worried the worst-case scenario—a group born that's naked except for masks—might happen, but thankfully it didn't. What a relief.This group is quick to undress and equally quick to dress. Once they finished preparing and lined up, they looked quite impressive.
"Now, the training is over, but this was rely the preparation period. From here on out is your real performance."
When I said this marks the beginning, their expressions all tightened simultaneously.Good.
Having overco this week's hardships together has created a sense of camaraderie.
"Your target is the northern city, Hokshi. The corrupt nobles and rchants thriving there."
The task I'm entrusting to them is harassnt operations against the suspicious nobles and rchants that His Grace the Duke had investigated for .As if to say 'finally,' the group grinned. I nodded and handed the list to Sharia, the representative of this team.
"This is the target list. If we can completely strip away their funding sources here, we can restrict the Boldrinde Duke's movents."
If suspicious groups run amok and resources are allocated to deal with them, it will naturally disrupt normal operations.There's a possibility they don't rely on their underlings anyway, but in that case, our plan is to have those very underlings drag them down from below.That's why we leveled them up and gave them strength.I'm confident we've created perfect characters, carefully selecting both their Titles and Job epithets.
"That's a lot.""Can't be helped. I already narrowed it down, you know."
The list spans ten sheets of parchnt.And this isn't the end; there are still plenty of potential targets.The fact that Judeus is making a sour face suggests he's aware the public order where he lived wasn't very good.
"And this is the script for the performance."
For this operation, it's not enough to just infiltrate the mansions of nobles and rchants and steal money.Standing out and causing a commotion is the most important part.
"I'd heard about it, but are we really doing this?""You're saying that, Judeus, the one who had the most impressive villainous laugh?"
While calling themselves 'righteous thieves,' what they're doing is theft.Distributing all the stolen money to poor households is an act that nobles would find utterly troubleso. The fact that His Grace the Duke is supporting this is quite peculiar, but given the ergency, we've resigned ourselves to it.
"Ugh, but it was fun..."
And when acting as righteous thieves, character building is crucial.Simply stealing and distributing money won't be easily accepted by the populace.What's needed is a Dark Hero.A being who conquers evil with evil.
Ideally, the King would discover the misdeeds and pass judgnt, but if that were possible, we wouldn't be struggling.However, since that doesn't change their current lives, the common people find no hope in it.Therefore, a being that gives hope to those people is necessary.
As the one who supervised the acting direction, I'm proud that Judeus perford it perfectly without a hint of sha.I thought he had actor-like talent from the start, but I never imagined he could pull it off this perfectly.I described my image of the character, and even while drunk, he executed it without embarrassnt, saying "Sothing like this?"
"Umm, am I fine just as I am now?""I think the current Sharia is good as he is, no need to force a character."
Next in line, the 'awakened' Sharia has turned out well.Perhaps because he originally acted with a masculine image, he had a foundation in performance.Now, acting with a cute, feminine image, his appearance is more likely to be accepted by the populace.
Judeus and Sharia are the main two. The others are varied in their roles, set up to provide support.I gave them each a script and asked them to imagine their characters, but compared to those two, the other n are, frankly, ham actors.
"Wouldn't it be better if we just ran around naked?""Are you a genius?""That would be a public nuisance, so stop. Why on earth would people be grateful to a naked man? The money we distribute might not even be used."
If we prioritize impact, the 'naked option'—born from struggling with acting—isn't bad, but I don't want that kind of Dark Hero.Soldiers chasing a man running naked across rooftops... Yeah, what kind of hell is that?
"Is it no good?""No good. Leave the lines to Judeus and Sharia. You guys practice your poses.""Naked?""Put your clothes on."
Where does this naked fixation of theirs co from?Lately, I've started wondering if that Magic Elixir has such an effect.
"!?""Why the surprised face? It's normal."
Who could have imagined such a transformation in just one week?With a sigh, I feel a bit anxious about the future, but their movents are perfect.In fact, if they focused solely on escape, it would even take so ti to catch them.That's how I've configured their skills; their mobility potential is higher than mine, a combat-focused class.With added skills like Lockpicking, Trap Disarming, and even Silent Walk, losing sight of them would make finding them quite a task.
"Sharia, you're our only hope. No matter what, don't let them undress.""Leave it to !""What about !?""Look at your own right hand. How can I trust soone who's already grabbing his clothes to take them off?""Since when was I—!?""A few seconds ago."
What kind of group is this, where ten percent are cross-dressing n and the remaining ninety percent suffer from a disrobing syndro?Even I, frankly, never imagined the group would turn out like this.
"Liberta-kun.""What is it?""By the way, what about our organization's na? The 'Liberation Army' we proposed before was rejected, right?"
There was also a slight issue when deciding the group's overall na.Thinking seriously about it, we concluded that 'Liberation Army' was indeed unsuitable for this bunch.
"Ah, that's fine. I've given it proper thought."
Gathering everyone's attention, I announced the na of this resistance organization.
"Entertainers. That is your na from today."
I couldn't imagine then the incredible things that na would lead to in the future.
