I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
~part 5
Yesterday, we ended up taking a shower, so we shortened our exploration early, but today we are quite far in depth.
…Because, you know, it's a shower. Do you Japanese not understand? This is greater happiness ... Thou know?
Although I am still not old enough, I think I can understand how adults feel about wanting to drink hot water in an open-air bath. That's because it tastes too good. In any case, I continued to explore with more effort than yesterday. As a result, I met a new monster again.
"Night, it's headed your way!"
"Woof!"
“Shaaaaaa!”
The enemy we are fighting now is an armadillo-like monster with a long needle-like hedgehog on its back. Or it might look like a hedgehog, but I think an armadillo with a needle is the best way to describe it. By the way, his status was like this.
[Needle Roller]
Level: 610
Magic: 3000
Attack: 20000
Defense: 17000
Agility: 25000
Intelligence: 8000
Luck: 2000
Although the level is lower than the crystal deer we fought yesterday, there are no comparable stats. The most disturbing thing was that it charged at a bullet-like speed while curling up and spinning at high speed. The needle that grew from his back also had incredible hardness, and could even withstand my [Absolute Spear] and [Omni-Sword] .
…No, this is a bit wrong.
Because, every time he exchanged blows to [Omni-Sword], it always led to the flat part of the sword, so I could not slash it. In the same way, the [Absolute Spear] would always be able to pierce a target if the spearhead caught it. Still, if the tip of the spear was swept clean like a stream of water, it would only be like hitting it with a blunt weapon. Even so, it was quite powerful, but the throw of the [Absolute Spear], which had been a killing of one strike until now, had also been avoided well in the same way as the spear tip flowed.
Moreover, even though it was fended off, it did not change the fact that it was hit, so the [Absolute Spear] would return to my hands...
As I thought, when it comes to S-class monsters, the [Absolute Spear] throws will not work unless I attack them unexpectedly. I'm lucky with the orc king. In fact, the reason why the crystal deer was able to fight [Absolute Spear] was probably because he was facing it the same way.
I don't want to think about what would happen if that S-class monster needle stabbed me.
As Night dodged the needle roller that attacked him at high speed, the needle roller returned his body to normal as it smashed into the tree that was in front of him, and as it landed on the tree with its momentum, the needle roller returned his body to normal, he used the tree as his footing, speeding up and now flying towards me.
“Kishaaaaaa!”
“Ugh!”
I managed to dodge at the last minute, but my cheek hurt deep enough.
"That hurts…"
"Woof!"
As I said, the needle roller is slower than the first time. We are also a bit tired, but the advantage of two against one is huge.
“Maybe it's time to end this. Let's strengthen ourselves.”
"Woof!"
“... Kishaaaaaa!”
“Sooo, here it is again.!”.
Needle rollers, ready, attack us again. The night quickly left the place, but I kept turning the needle roller until the last minute. Actually, after seeing the needle roller movement earlier, I had a plan that I wanted to make happen. I resisted the urge to avoid it quickly and manage my time well.
And then──
"Now!"
“Kisha!?”
I avoided it jumping to the side at the last moment, and the needle roller couldn't even slow down, so it pierced through me and crashed into a nearby stone wall. The defense of the needle roller was quite high, so even if it hit a stone wall, it would not inflict much damage, no matter how fast it happened. But that's not why I'm here.
“Kishaaaaaa!?”
“Yaaaahh!”
The needle roller struck the stone with such force and made a sharp needle that it thrust proudly into the wall. It was stuck to the stone wall. He desperately gripped his limbs, but since it was an armadillo-type monster and the needles were quite long, he could do nothing as his limbs floated in the air. It would be a lot harder to beat this one if he had the ability to fire a needle, but it didn't look like it, so I'm relieved.
“Haaah!”
“Kishaaaaaa!”
As long as the movement stops, I can slash it with [Omni-Sword] . Of course, no matter how hard the armor was. As soon as I made the [Omni-Sword] appear in my hands, I activated the [Weakness Detection] skill and swung down from the top level at a weak point at once. Even if I can slash it, it is meaningless if I cannot kill it with a single blow.
The [Omni-Sword] that I swung at, entered a net weak point. Like that, I slashed at him without feeling any resistance. Then the needle roller screams and disappears as particles of light.
"K-we managed to drop it somehow ..."
"Wool…"
Thank you, Night.”
I hugged Night as he approached, and he licked my cheek. I immediately took out [Complete Healed Herbal Juice] and drank it in one breath. There is still plenty of stock to go around. The juice seeped into my body, and my vitality returned all at once.
"You should drink it too, Night."
"Woof!"
After a long time, a message appeared when the juice was given to the Night in the same way.
Level up. You have acquired the skills [Body-Mind Unification]* and [Mental Enhancement]. (T/N: Let me know if someone can find a better name for this skill " ⁇ ".)
"I've leveled up and gained some skills!"
"Woof!"
“Eh? Did Night level up as well? ”
"Woof!"
Night barked like that, so I assessed him, and he actually leveled up. That's nice! After allocating the appropriate level-up BP, I looked back at my status again.
[Yuuya Tenjou]

Title: [Lord of Doors] [Home Ruler] [Other World Dwellers] [People Who Visit Another World For The First Time]
Before I knew it, the levels of my [True Martial Arts] and [Cooking] had gone up! I couldn't tell the difference because this was my own cooking, but somehow I felt sharper when attacking in martial arts than before.
For now, let's examine existing skills and check out new skills.
[Mind-Body Unification]: It unites the mind and body and gives you more control over your own body.
[Mental Enhancement]: Increased resistance to mental attacks such as fear conditions.
The mind-body union can be recognized for being able to move my body as I imagined it. And mental enhancement! Before, I was scared when the needle roller came towards me, but I could move without curling up. I think that's the basis for learning this skill.
“Alright... let's continue leveling at this rate.”.
"Woof!"
“Ah, let's check the Night level as well.”
"Woof."
I caressed Night as I judged him. The result is this:
[Night]
Race Name: Black Fenrir
Level: 510
Magic: 10100
Attack: 10300
Defense: 10300
Agility: 15500
Intelligence: 10100
Luck: 10000
Note: Followers Yuuya Tenjou.
What can I say, the way his status was raised was the same as mine. The only difference with me is that he doesn't have BP, and his luck doesn't improve. It might just not go up this time, but luck is not something that will be a problem when the level goes up.
Nevertheless, Night had a balanced increase in agility, and his status was not too far behind S-class monsters. It's no exaggeration to say that thanks to Night's presence, I can compete with S-class monsters. In terms of status, I was greatly defeated by S-class monsters; I was only aided by Night and the outrageous weapons left behind by sage-san.
Well, I can deal with S-class monsters with such dangerous weapons, but come to think of it, Night's existence matters. In terms of my mentality.
…I want to raise my level quickly so that I can deal with S-class monsters easily. Thinking of that, I went to look for the drop item.
[Strong Needle of Armadillo Needle] :: Needle rolling needle. With its sharpness, it can easily penetrate even thick steel. They were mainly used to make spears and arrowheads, and these weapons traded at a very high price.
"It's very dangerous ..."
This is the only material dropped, but it seems that needle-rolling needles are a very dangerous thing. I don't know if it's an armadillo or not, but if it's not an armadillo, what kind of creature is it? * I also picked up the magic stone while thinking about what kind of creature it was in unexpected notation. That magic stone, as I thought, was an S-class item. (T/N: Somewhat confused by this, it is written in English in the first and Japanese in the second, strong needle names are also written in Japanese. “ ⁇ and .)
And then──
“...No matter how I look at it, it's a toothbrush, right?”
"Feed."
I have a black toothbrush in my hand. This may be a rare drop item roller needle.
…But even if this is a rare drop item, it should not be a toothbrush, right? I mean, it's a needle that can penetrate steel. And if I brush my teeth with it, my mouth will tear. No, I don't think the brush part of this toothbrush is the needle. I don't even want to think about it!
After the assessment with anxiety, it is shown as follows:
[Extreme Toothbrush]: Brushing your teeth with this item will eliminate bad breath-causing bacteria and significantly change the color of your teeth from ivory to white. It also removes plaque and tartar without being lost, making users feel comfortable and enjoy brushing their teeth.
“It's really amazing!”
How useful is this set of daily needs! It's a little crazy, don't you think? I mean, it was beneficial to me personally, but were the rare drop items mostly just everyday necessity items? I've never played a game before, but is that normal? Do I just assume, as a stereotype, that a weapon or armor is the only item that can be dropped?
"Well, whatever ... in the meantime, let's go further inside, okay?"
“….”
"Night?"
As I picked up the drop item and summoned Night, Night stared silently in a certain direction. As I followed his gaze, I saw that the rock on which the needle roller was attached had collapsed, and something that looked like the entrance of the cave had appeared.
“Eh, what is it?”
"Wool…"
Even Night did not seem to understand, so he tilted his head, but he continued to approach the cave entrance.
“Ah, hey! That's dangerous!"
When I said that, Night made a thoughtful gesture and returned to me.
"…Woof."
His facial expression looked like saying let's go inside this inner passage.It's true, this cave that suddenly appeared is alarming. It just so happened that the position where we were fighting against the needle roller was at the bottom of the cliff, so I did not expect such a cave entrance to appear.
I could ignore it and go deeper into the forest, but Night seemed to be worried, and above all, Night's wild instinct told him that there was something inside. It was as if he was saying, "I have a feeling there's something!" with a high level of self-confidence. I was also worried about the "Something" Night felt, so I followed behind with Night as the leader.
This was the first time I had been in a cave like this since I was in the forest. I was wary if any monsters appeared, but my [Presence Detection] skill did not catch any signs of monsters. No, it's too early to feel relieved. Just like the crystal deer that detected my [Assimilation] skill, there might be something that could escape my [Presence Detection] .
I was only worried about the monster when I thought about it, but if there were people in this cave, they might set a trap or something ... Well, if there are traps, I don't have the skills to avoid them, so can't help.
I was wary of traps as well as monsters and continued on without touching the wall or the ground carelessly. Just when I thought it was dark, a torch on the wall caught fire.
“Wah! Why is it suddenly burning?”
"Woof?"
Unlike me, who was very surprised, Night did not care ..for the time being, Night was not worried, and we were not in danger. More importantly, the torch on the wall meant that there was a human hand inside. It's nothing now, but there might be a trap somewhere.
I increasingly lost my understanding of what this cave was, but after a while, we reached the deepest part of the cave. The deepest part was a slightly larger space, and a large number of torches were hung on the surrounding walls.
“This place is...”
"Woof!"
"Night?"
Suddenly, Night rushed out, and I hurriedly chased after him. Then──
"Huh!?"
The skeleton in the robe was sitting, leaning against the deepest wall. I thought it was a monster for a moment, but it seemed to be completely dead with no signs of movement at all.
I didn't expect to see a white skeleton corpse..if it wasn't for the [Mental Enhancement] skill, I would have peed out of fear, wouldn't I? As I was thinking that, Night patted something placed in front of the skeleton with his feet.
"Woof!"
“Eh?”
...
...
I approached Night and saw the thing that fell at his feet.
"Book?"
What kind of book is that? When I picked up the book, it said "The Sage's Book" on the cover, but I didn't know what it was.
I have no choice but to open it and check it───
For those who have reached this point, ~sages~.
That's what it says.
