The Existence Nad Leona 1
My hands froze up.
Why’s Leona here? Wasn’t she staying inside the dungeon together with the Succubi?
I wasn’t using [Super Transformation], so I’d die if she killed . Let’s flip [Blackout Resistance] ON just in case.
“Here is your C-Rank al, it’s crowded right now, so please don’t take too long in eating it.”
“Oh! This, this is it! I’ve been wanting to eat so since I heard about it~”
Today’s C-Rank al is so grilled ginger pork with rice instead of bread.
Rei placed the C-Rank al in front of Leona, not taking notice of the sweat waterfall taking place in my mind.
‘So please don’t take too long in eating it’—huh, how formal. Also, help please?
I was begging for help in my mind, but she obviously wouldn’t be able to hear it.
Rei wouldn’t be able to due anything to Leona with her nonexistent offensive power anyway. Rather, she should escape while she can.
“Ufufu, how many years has it been since I’ve had rice? Did I eat it back when I was seventeen…? Ooh, that would’ve been only recently then, wouldn’t it? Tehee~?”
Is that joke about being seventeen your trademark or sothing?
… Wait, I still haven’t actually t Leona directly. There’s a good chance that she just happened to co to the seat across by chance, I can just slip away at so point. As for how I’ll slip away, well, I don’t know.
“Well now, Golem-san.”
“Bugofu—”
“Ah, do you prefer Keima-san?”
Yep, she found out. I understand that perfectly.
It’d be alright if she just used my na even without telling her, I’m the Village Chief. It wouldn’t be hard to get my na and using perfect Japanese diction for it could’ve just been happenchance. But Golem-san is an out.
“Hahahaha… … … please spare my life.”
“Why are you suddenly asking this lovely young girl sothing so weird? It’s alright, I just want to talk today—[Isolation], [Camouflage], there we go. Alright, now it’ll just look like we’re having a fun little conversation to anyone else, so being blunt’s OK~”
When Leona snapped her fingers, I couldn’t hear any sounds coming from all of the people around us. It looks like she used so skill to produce a space that we can talk privately… which also ans that I can’t call for help.
“Umm…”
“I ca as a friend today, so don’t worry about honorifics. Golem-san’s way of talking would be good… The next ti you speak overly polite, I’ll flick you in the forehead, alright?”
“… Alright.”
Leona smiled. Actually, I think ‘grinned’ might be a better way to put it?
At any rate, her forehead flick sounds like it might cause my head to straight up vanish so being overly polite is hereby banned!
“Oh, wondering about my skill? I guess we could’ve moved to a room, but I’m not so cheap woman that would let so strange man bring to his room so easily~”
“Today’s my treat! Everyone, feel free to eat and drink all you want!”
I called out, but the people around us didn’t pay any attention and just kept on eating.
“… Yeah, no reaction at all. Alright, sure. I’ll trust you.”
“Heeh, that’s amusing. It’s the first ti I saw soone react like that, it’s usually ‘please save ~’ and stuff.”
“So, what’s up? Rather, how’d you know who I am?”
“Oh? It’s hard to like n that are too hasty, you know? … Well, I don’t mind telling you.”
Leona pointed to her red eyes and spoke.
“I have [Super Appraisal]… I can see your everything.”
An appraisal-type skill. I’d thought that she’d have one, but seeing as how it has ‘Super’ tacked on, it’s a Hero Skill?
“Fufufu, isn’t it a standard? I could see that that Golem’s na was Euma, and that it was manufactured by ‘Keima-san’. Also that you’re older than the seventeen year old .”
“… I don’t know if it’s a standard or not, but I don’t have an appraisal-type skill.”
“Hoh? Then couldn’t you transform into with your [Super Transformation] for a taste of it?”
So she even found out about my Hero skill huh… [Super Appraisal] is a frightening skill.
I wonder if she could even see as having [Occupation: Village Chief (Dungeon Master-cum-Hero)]?
“But I don’t recomnd transforming into , you’d probably go mad and end up dying… You have Lv 3 though, so maybe you’ll respawn?”
“… Go mad? Wow. Why would that happen?”
“You’d also have my abilities, but you would get juuuuuust a little cursed. I’m fine—rather, I guess it’s more like I beco alright?—because I have [Magic Absorption], but the curse will just flow over to you when you take on my form.” [1]
Seriously? … I didn’t transform into Leona with [Super Transformation] like how I did with Setsuna because I had so information beforehand, but holy crap. That saved .
“Do you know what cursed you?”
“Do you keep track of how many grams of at you eat every day? I sure don’t. It’s like that. Ufufu, just think of it like the whole world’s cursing , isn’t it thrilling?”
So there’s just too many sources?
“So, how have you been, Golem-san?”
Relaxed, Leona asked a question like she was wanting to do so small talk.
“Please call Village Chief-san, not Golem-san… right, I just recently started feeling like so lion was staring dead in the eyes.”
“Well, it definitely must be a cute, everyday lion then. Ah, how about you call [Leonan?] then? Like a boyfriend, with affection and love.”
“Leonan, I’m the type to use honorifics for lovers and juniors.”
“Then we’ll just use our nas, Keima-san.”
Leona gulped down the rice while eating the grilled ginger pork.
“Mmm! Rice really is the soul food of Japan! Why is it this world doesn’t have any? I gave up after trying to make it didn’t work out, even turning rocks into orichalcum was easier. Did you know that rice isn’t even on the Lv 10 recipe list for [Super Alchemy]? Even though sothing like the Philosopher Stone was listed at Lv 1… Well, [Super Alchemy] itself is derived from the Philosopher’s Stone though.”
“Oooh, so you’re a Japanese after all?”
“Oh? You’re one too, Keima-san? My eyes being red is because of my skill.”
“[Super Massage]? Or [Super Appraisal]?”
“So you heard about that from Setsuna? Neither, it’s a common [Magic Sight]-type skill. With it, I can even see things like the flow of magical power within a dungeon’s domain… Haku-chan has it too, you kno? Haku-chan’s eyes were red to begin with though.”
Wow, it looks like I just learned sothing good. She isn’t planning on erasing now, right?
“You don’t need to be so scared, I’m just speaking so freely since it’s fun to speak with another Japanese… So, how long has it been since you ca here, Keima-san?”
“… About one year.”
“It’s been around five hundred for , I think? I look younger than my age because I have eternal youth though. Oh dear, a woman shouldn’t talk about her age, how inconsiderate of .”
What are you going off saying on your own now?
“I’m not interested in your age, so please don’t worry.”
“Really really? Weren’t you a lolicon that’s only interested in gachi loli? Ah, I was thinking that that information was a counterasure for the Succubi, but you really fooled ! My evaluation of you got a super UP!” [2]
I don’t recall deceiving anyone, but it looks like she went and got deceived on her own. I don’t know if my evaluation being improved is a good or bad thing though.
“Should I ask you straight up then? What’s your goal?”
“My goal? Hmm, alright, I’ll tell you.”
With a complacent smile, Leona assud an important air about her.
At that mont, the air around her felt like it literally turned black.
“I want to beco the [Final Boss].”
Footnotes:
I’m assuming by ‘also have my abilities’, she’s aning super, super reduced versions? Leona has ntioned the past two tis she ntioned it that Keima would in fact be able to use her [Super XXX] abilities to so minor degree. Return
As a result of diving into 2ch for quite a long ti, I’ve discovered that [Gachi Loli = ‘genuine lolis ONLY, no look-alikes, nothing else mixed in’]. No one ever seems to explain it explicitly, though.
