Chapter 120: Status Check

It was a day of rain.

By the time they left the lord's castle, the usual sun was absent, hidden behind overcast skies. As they reached the inn at their base, the rain gradually intensified. At present, it was mid-morning, and outside was a torrential downpour.

Amidst the rain sounds, the two lounged on the sofa, savoring the moment.

"Yeah. It may not be our home, but it feels good to be back" (Tatsuro)

"True. The castle we stayed in yesterday wasn't bad, but it was a bit too big for comfort" (Ai)

As they spoke, Ai wrapped her arm around Tatsuro's neck, planting a kiss on his cheek. Tatsuro, reciprocating, lifted Ai's waist, their lips meeting.

After a refreshing bath, they returned to the sofa, shoulders leaning against each other.

"When do we leave here?" (Ai)

"Hmm. Even though tomorrow is the polar night, I'd like to do some shopping. However, due to the hostage situation, the convenient department store will be closed for three days. After that, maybe" (Tatsuro)

"True." (Tatsuro)

After a pleasant exhaustion, they enjoyed a late lunch. Then, it was time for the neglected SP consumption and status check.

This time, besides Tatsuro and Ai, Cardina and Jeanne's levels had also increased, so they wanted to check those as well. The two creatures, summoned in [Child Form] appeared.

"Alright, let's use some SP. I've been thinking about it in my free time. With the current SP at 511, I'll go all out with [Life Magic Lv.5], [Earth Magic Lv.10], [Dispel Magic Lv.10], [Wind Magic Lv.10], [Curse Magic Lv.6], [Thunder Magic Lv.2] and [Wood Magic Lv.1]" (Tatsuro)

"Earth, Dispel, and Wind to 10, and Life 5, Curse 6… And adding Thunder and Wood. That sets the order for all the magic, but is that okay?" (Ai)

"Yeah. We'll have to decide at some point, and I want to try Thunder. Wood Magic might come in handy for gathering vegetables on the way" (Tatsuro)

"Your reason for Thunder is pretty casual… Well, it's fine" (Ai)

"…No objections, then. Let's do it." (Tatsuro)

As announced, Tatsuro paid 497 SP to acquire the skills, leaving him with 14 SP.

|You have acquired the title ‘Master of Earth'| a message popped up.

|You have acquired the title ‘Master of Dispel.'|

|You have acquired the title ‘Master of Wind.'|

"Alright, with the titles secured, let's level up Cardina and the others' magic to 10, and then display our statuses" (Tatsuro)

"Sure." (Ai)

"Beep." (Cardina)

"Neigh." (Jeanne)

Tatsuro swiftly increased the levels of the two creatures' magic, then proceeded to reveal his own stats.

"Titles and all have become quite luxurious compared to the beginning. Hey, did [Mana Perception], [Focus] and [Mana Regeneration] also increase secretly?" (Ai)

"Yeah, that's right. When overwriting Ennio's contract, they seemed to have gone up on their own. It turns out, it unintentionally became training for those skills" (Tatsuro)

"Wow. Well then, it's my turn, right?" (Ai)

"Ai's skills have also increased overall" (Tatsuro)

"Almost there, many seem close to reaching 10. And I gained more titles" (Ai)

"Oh, really? What kind of titles?" (Tatsuro)

"Let's see, probably enhanced control of ‘Body Enhancement.' Also, when using martial arts skills in the ‘Body Enhancement' state, it seems to apply a correction to that control. That might be why I felt more agile than before." (Ai)

"I guess it sounds a bit subtle" (Tatsuro)

"Yeah, it's easier to understand when it directly shows up in the stats." (Ai)

With such impressions, they turned their attention to the two creatures fidgeting nearby. First, they checked the stats of Cardina, the older sister.

[Master of Dispel]

——————————–

"Oh, you've got the ‘Master' series too. Honestly, since it feels like I'm transplanting my magic, I was a bit worried" (Tatsuro)

"With attribute magic skills at level 10, it's guaranteed to learn" (Ai)

"Beep beep" (Cardina)

"Good for you, Cardina" (Tatsuro)

Cardina happily bounced around on top of the mini-sized Jeanne.

While enjoying the heartwarming scene, they finally checked Jeanne's status.

"Hmm. Just as I thought" (Tatsuro)

"What do you mean?" (Ai)

As Ai, Cardina, and Jeanne all tilted their heads in confusion at Tatsuro's reaction to Jeanne's status, he smiled and began to explain his speculation.

"Well, you see, Jeanne defeated that somewhat strong monster called Paralaceus, and according to Marikka-san's story, Cardina hunted quite a few during the Depris extermination." (Tatsuro)

"Yeah, both of them did great!" (Ai)

"Beep beep" (Cardina)

"Neigh!" (Jeanne)

With prideful expressions from Ai and joyful nods from the two creatures, Tatsuro, feeling the same way, patted their heads.

"Yeah, that's right. But considering that, their levels are still quite low" (Tatsuro)

"Ah, now that you mention it, both are still in single digits" (Ai)

"That's why I think it has something to do with the dragon race. Judging from how their levels increased when they defeated the Magic Dragon, it seems like dragon-type creatures need more experience points than regular races like us." (Tatsuro)

"Oh, that sounds a bit tough." (Ai)

"But in return, their basic stats seem outstanding, unrelated to their level. Remember how powerful that level 1 Magic Dragon was?" (Tatsuro)

"In that case, the system might be balancing things out." (Ai)

"It's a possibility." (Tatsuro)

While the two discussed the unique characteristics of dragon-type creatures, Cardina secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been worried because she heard that Jeanne had defeated a strong monster, thinking that maybe her younger sister had surpassed her in level. It wasn't that it would be a problem, but she still wanted to maintain a bit of big sister authority. Unaware of her sister's feelings, Jeanne, feeling bored, lay down and rolled /JonathanTitan
