The explanation became exceedingly long, but this is to confirm the magic skills acquired by the new receptionist slave, Dapena (Female), upon reaching Lv50 all at once.
“Dark Elf’s initial personal skill, ‘Night Eye,’ which grants night vision. Furthermore, the Lv40 skill ‘Triple Shot,’ which allows for the rapid firing of three arrows in one strike. And the Lv45 magic, ‘Dark Blind,’ which temporarily obscures the target’s vision.”
Amazing, so Dark Elves are Elves of the Dark Attribute.
“Also, the Lv50 skill ‘Sure Hit.’ This skill allows you to charge your bow and arrow for 100 seconds, guaranteeing your arrow will hit the target. The power also increases by five times!”
Verbin (Female) winked at the end, was that part of the Adventurer Guild’s manual or something? How cunning. Speaking of which, can Bards use bows? Well, never mind that for now.
“Orc’s initial personal…”
“Wraith, please conclude The Dark Elves.”
“Ah, yes, Xel (Mr./Ms.), um, that’s all for The Dark Elves.”
What a bother. Still, it’s probably essential for a receptionist.
“Next up, Orcs. Their initial personal skill is ‘Gluttony,’ which allows you to eat to your heart’s content beyond your limits.”
“Um, what does that mean?”
“You can go without eating for about a whole day. Water is a separate matter, though.”
Even Dapena (Female) seems bewildered.
“The Lv35 skill, ‘Endless Drool,’ which allows you to produce drool infinitely.”
“What does it do?” “I don’t know.” “From here, ‘It’s unknown’?” “Yes, Xel (Mr./Ms.), it’s unknown.”
“Understood. The Lv40 skill, ‘Shipping,’ which halves your weight.”
“What does it mean?” “You can move quickly.”
I might be easily lifted.
“The Lv45 skill, ‘Body Attack,’ which doubles the power of a body slam. For my body…”
“That’s right. The Lv45 skill, ‘Hip Attack,’ which has four times the power.”
“My hips aren’t that big or strong…”
“The Lv50 magic, ‘Magical Orc,’ which allows you to use numerous initial magic spells.”
What, magic?!
“For example?”
“Light, Heal, Fire, and various others.”
“Explain them all properly.”
“Yes, Xel (Mr./Ms.).”
“No, it’s fine for now.”
Nina (Mr./Ms.) forced an abbreviation.
“That’s all for Orcs.”
“We got a lot of ‘orc’ puns.”
“Anju (Female)…”
I thought about chiming in, but decided against it.
“Um, only for Orcs, was it?”
“Nataira (Female), you’re correct!”
She made the newcomer do the job.
“Lizard’s initial skill is ‘Blacksmithing,’ allowing for the strengthening of weapons and armor, and item creation.”
“Um, I don’t have any knowledge…”
“Uh… we can refer you to the Commercial Guild.”
“Master Nina (Mr./Ms.)?”
“You’re a receptionist now. Think about future matters after you’re freed from slavery.”
“Yes!”
Anju (Female) was restrained by Clarice.
“Lizard’s Lv45 magic, ‘Breath Fire,’ which allows you to breathe fire from your mouth without chanting.”
“Is that true?!”
“If you wish to test it, the dungeon over there is available.”
“Later.”
“The Lv50 skill, ‘Quadrupedalism,’ which allows you to move at the same speed as walking when crawling, and even when running.”
Does that have any practical use?
“That’s all for Lizard. Next is the Boar-beastman. Their initial skill is ‘Boar Charge,’ which allows you to accelerate the further you run, as long as you don’t turn or stop. It also inflicts considerable damage when charging into an enemy.”
Won’t that damage your own body too?!
“All the way?”
“All the way!”
“Can you run on water?”
“Certainly not.”
“Then underwater?”
“As long as you can hold your breath.”
“I see.”
With that item, the scales that allow you to breathe underwater!
“The Lv50 skill, ‘Spinning Wild Boarlet,’ which involves jumping at the target and spinning, inflicting massive damage, but leaving you with 1 HP.”
“Will it be effective with my body?”
“Well, it should be somewhat effective, I suppose.”
That will break Dapena’s (Female) body!
“That’s all for Boar-beastman. Next, the Arachne.”
“Spiders, right?”
“Yes, their initial personal skill is ‘Poison,’ which inflicts poison when bitten.”
“What kind of poison?”
“It’s a poison that drains your HP unless you’re cured.”
Poison Succubi sometimes did that.
“The Lv40 skill is ‘Spider Silk,’ allowing you to produce thick, strong ropes from your hands.”
“Not silk, but?”
“It’s displayed as a rope. So, a rope.”
“How would you use it?”
“For rescue operations, perhaps?”
“To pull things up?”
In our guild, Anju (Female) would just float them or use instantaneous movement.
“The Lv45 skill is ‘Hungry Spider.’ If you bite while focusing on this, the target will be overcome with intense hunger. It doesn’t actually make the ingested food disappear.”
“What are the effects?” “It makes the target lose strength, and if you force them to eat in that state, they’ll overeat.”
It could be useful for eating contests!
“Finally, the Lv50 skill, ‘Stereoscopic Walking,’ allowing you to walk on walls and ceilings normally.”
“…I’ll try it.”
“Please do. I want to see too.”
Xel (Mr./Ms.) showed interest, adjusting his glasses.
“Well then…”
Wow, she’s actually walking vertically up the wall! And the ceiling too, and her skirt!
“What happens if you jump there?”
“Yes… Here I go!”
She fell normally. Nina (Mr./Ms.) caught her safely.
“Quite interesting.”
“It seems convenient for getting books from high places.”
Is that really the problem?!
“That’s all for the Arachne. Next are Harpies. Their initial skill is ‘Flight,’ which allows them to fly with wings on their back.”
“…This one would be better for getting books.”
“Well, that’s probably true.”
What was Verbin’s (Female) retort? Ah, well.
“The Lv30 skill, ‘Egg Incubation,’ allowing you to hatch and raise any fertilized egg.”
“Am I supposed to lay it?!”
“Um, I don’t think so.”
“That’s a relief.”
“For example, if you obtain a dragon’s egg, even if you’re not a mother dragon, it will hatch if you incubate it.”
It seems like a lot of trouble, and it would be difficult if the baby dragon thought you were its mother.
“The Lv35 skill, ‘Scream,’ which can even cause the target to faint with its cry.”
“Is it a probability?”
“Yes, depending on the level. The initial value is 4%.”
“What kind of voice is it?”
“Please refrain from doing that here.”
“Yes, understood.”
Scary. I hope it doesn’t make allies faint too.
“The Lv40 skill, ‘Feather Dance,’ which allows you to attack by scattering feathers from your wings. The Lv45 skill, ‘Raptor’s Claws,’ which causes all the claws on your hands to grow sharp and attack.”
“Oh, are Harpies birds of prey?”
“Well, the details are not important.”
Yeah, those kinds of things happen sometimes.
“The Lv50 skill, ‘Mimic Voice,’ allowing you to speak in someone else’s voice exactly like them.”
“Um, so… ‘Is this okay?’ How about this?”
“Yes, that is indeed Nina’s (Mr./Ms.) voice.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Nina (Mr./Ms.) interrupted to ask. She can’t know what her own voice sounds like to others.
“Last one. Ah, that’s done for Harpies. The final one is Vampires.”
“Verbin (Mr./Ms.), don’t let your guard down until the end.”
“Yes, Xel (Mr./Ms.)!”
“Also, depending on the job, there are commemorative gifts besides the Bard. That can wait for later.”
Besides monsters, it was Dark Elves, Lizardfolk, and I think she mentioned Arachne as a race too.
“Vampire’s initial skill, ‘Flight,’ which allows them to fly.”
“It’s the same as Harpies’.”
“That’s why both sets of wings come out.”
“I see.”
It’s one set at a time, though.
“The Lv40 skill, ‘Blood Siphon Charm,’ which allows you to control someone for a while after drinking their blood.”
“What about the bite mark?”
“It’s said to close naturally.”
“Then that’s good.”
“The Lv45 skill, ‘Moon Power,’ which grows stronger the later it gets at night, with the peak at midnight.”
I worry if they become weaker during the day.
“The very last skill, the Lv50 skill, ‘Ultrasonic Wave,’ which attacks targets with inaudible sound, inflicting damage. Be careful, as it is ineffective against enemies without ears, like Slimes or bug-type monsters.”
“Understood.”
“That concludes everything. As a formality, I will now present some of the Lv UP commemorative gifts. Please wait a moment…”
While she was rummaging around in the back room again, I decided to ask Nina (Mr./Ms.).
“With so many magic skills, isn’t it a waste for them to be receptionists? If you were to train them as adventurers, they could become S-class, no, they could conquer the world!”
“That’s what I’ve been thinking about. As I’ve been watching these conversations, I’ve had one important thought.”
“Yes, what is it?”
Nina (Mr./Ms.) is hesitating. This must be a very serious matter.
“This is purely my personal opinion, but…”
“That’s fine, please.”
“…Wouldn’t it be good to dress Deles in a receptionist outfit?!”
(What are you thinking!??!!)
“Isn’t it similar to a maid outfit?”
“No, it’s different.”
“It’s different.”
“It’s different!”
“Husband, it’s different.”
“Master, it’s a different thing.”
“It’s somewhat different.”
Don’t all agree on the same thing!
“…The underwear is probably different too.”
“Otuha (Mr./Ms.) too!!”
And Xel (Mr./Ms.) just nodded for some reason.
(Huh? Is this the ending?!)
