"Should I be going to rescue you, Skeleton?"
Shami stood up and spun around on the spot.
"But, really, there’s nothing much to rescue, right? I’ve racked my brains and can’t figure out what you’d even lose."
The briefing continued to relay information.
[The night watchman carrying the Bone Fra was overjoyed, extrely happy, with one hand holding the Bone Fra, the lantern tucked under his arm, and the other hand touched the shriveled black stockings, displaying an even happier expression.]
[At this mont, the Bone Fra’s hand slowly rose, delivering a sharp hand chop to the night watchman’s neck, and the watchman fell in response. The Bone Fra stood up.]
"Almost forgot it’s a skeleton soldier; its combat ability is on par with normal villagers. Self-rescue? That’s fine then." Shami breathed a sigh of relief.
[Looking at the villager lying on the ground, the Bone Fra sighed.
’I originally didn’t want to use force, but ended up using it anyway.’
’Being captivated by soone’s allure and wanting to invade them? Sorry, such things are reserved for Master Shami. This body is ant for Master Shami’s use.’
The Bone Fra gazed affectionately at the night sky at a 45° angle.]
"True love! Didn’t expect a surprise true love storyline! It’s the first ti true love has made uncomfortable!"
[Taking advantage of the night, the Bone Fra successfully escaped the village, paused outside the village for a mont, packed away the black stockings, then resud its journey.]
[Briefing ended]
[Bone Fra completed the village night raid, art theft mission accomplished.]
[Single action. Rating: A]
[Reward: Starry Night oil painting ×1, Abstract oil paintings ×30]
[Bone Fra received an enhancent, please select a direction for enhancent.]
"Didn’t expect it could enhance abilities because of this!"
Shami was intrigued.
[Bone Fra received the opportunity for self-alteration, please select a direction for alteration.]
[1. Increased stealth attribute. Enhancing Bone Fra’s nightti stealth capabilities makes it less likely to be discovered by others. Specific reward: A set of nightti attire.]
Shami frowned.
"Why does this outfit look so familiar... isn’t it the criminal suspect outfit that appears in every episode of that famous detective show! It’s exactly the sa, this is outright infringent!"
[2. Increased allure attribute. Adding a Succubus tailbone to the Bone Fra’s pelvis. With the Succubus tailbone, Bone Fra achieves a breakthrough in allure; whether shaking its tail or wrapping it around its thigh, it is an invisible charm skill!]
[3. Weakness shift. Shifting the skeleton’s fatal weakness from the skull to the toe bone. As long as the toe bone remains, even if the skull is shattered, it can continue to live.]
"Not to ntion the first alteration direction is simply giving a strange uniform, the second reward is entirely superfluous, no one would fall for a skeleton just because it has a Succubus tailbone. It’s obvious without even thinking, the first and second options are bait traps. The third option is the correct one."
"Although this transformation happens to be quite drastic, going directly from head to toe; but if the weakness shifts to the foot, it ans piercing the skull won’t lead to genuine death. This is the true skill that conceals skeleton identity!"
Shami resolutely chose the third.
[Alteration successful.]
The entire village night raid process went without major peril; in the end, the Bone Fra steadily retrieved all the paintings.
"Master Shami, I feel like my sensitive point seems to have shifted from my skull to here."
The Bone Fra pointed to its toe bone.
"That’s not a sensitive point, it should rightly be called an absolutely untouchable fatal point." Shami corrected the skeleton’s words.
"This is a special reward I granted after you completed the mission. It transferred your fatal weakness from your skull to there."
The Bone Fra was startled.
"This is more dangerous! Doesn’t that an if I accidentally hit a stone while walking, I’m done? Why is Master Shami targeting a skeleton, wah wah wah wah..."
"Uh..."
Shami scratched his head.
"No matter how you look at it, this is a reward where rit outweighs disadvantage! Skeleton toe bones don’t break so easily, that’s due to insufficient training! Not all skeletons have the chance to shift their fatal weak point. Seize the opportunity, train hard, strive to beco a unique skeleton!"
"Master Shami..."
The Bone Fra gazed admiringly at Shami; even in its ribcage where there was no heart, it seed to feel warmth.
This was a sense of recognition satisfaction.
"This has always been the path I want to follow, thank you for your support! I will strive to beco the skeleton you envision! I will always support you, Master Shami!"
[Beep, new intelligence~]
[Bone Fra loyalty: 91]
Shami’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
Why does a Bone Fra also have loyalty points? This loyalty object’s definition is too broad! But since it doesn’t show affection points, it’s barely acceptable; otherwise, I’d need to guard against it.
However, looking at the excited skeleton, rely asking you to beco a simple skeleton soldier or sothing, Shami couldn’t bring himself to say it...
Oh well, there aren’t many normal people around to begin with, adding one more doesn’t count, losing one doesn’t matter.
...
After putting all the oil paintings into his Demon King Ring, Shami tidied up the open space and touched the Wisteria Tree Spirit’s trunk.
"See you tomorrow."
[See you tomorrow... Shami... at night, if you hear the rustling wind blowing through the leaves... it’s the lullaby I sing to you... cough cough cough...]
