Chapter 07: Uniqur Skill So Broken & Dinner.
\=-----\=-----\=-----\=-----\=
(POV Souji)
Late in the evening, about six to seven, I was dragging some of my hunted animals, or rather, some, I stored it in my Sub-Skill of Unique Skill [Ultimate Cooking], which I hope is edible anyway.
These animals seemed to have the name [Cowlord], where the rank was B, and this animal was famous for its delicious flesh.
How do I know all that? It was easy, because I only had to judge it using my Unique Skill [Appraisal Complete], and everything was in order.
After all, this ability was truly a cheat, if only the owner could use it properly.
Moreover, considering this ability can also be used to assess something that is in the description of the results of the assessment itself, making this skill become very damaged, because this skill seemed to be retrieving data from the memories of the World itself.
Although it was just a wild theory of mine, but because there was no other explanation that was far more logical than that, so I would rather just believe it.
Oh yes, I hunted this animal along with Nagisa, who seemed to have a Unique Skill that was quite damaged once.
This Unique Skill seemed to make the girl can twist a fact, by making a lie that she said would be trusted by others, rather than the truth itself.
If I'm honest, even though this guy's Job Class is a [Spell Fencer], but somehow his Unique Skill related to his job as an Idol is much more damaged, even more damaged, rather than related to his Job Class.
After all, just think about it, while this Unique Skill Magic Blade that came from his Job Class alone, could still be said to be a superior version of Magic Sword, as well, but even so it still has some shortcomings, such as its limited number of uses, on the other hand, its two Unique Skills, which seem to be obtained by him because of his work as an Idol on Earth, even much more damaged, because in addition to one can be said to have buff and debuff functions that do not box at all, while the other can twist a fact.
"Huh... Do you think we'll be able to return to Earth, Souji?"
I immediately woke up from my daydream, after I heard such a sudden question from Nagisa.
"Eitherway. Maybe yes, maybe not." I can only reply to him in such a way, because the answer is still uncertain.
Given, although the percentage for us to return to Earth is indeed very small, but it does not mean there is nothing at all, and it can also apply to the opposite.
So, the answer to this was still uncertain, but if the transfer student was here, it was likely that he would be able to immediately find the answer behind it.
After all, although not a talented and genius person, but his intelligence can be said to have surpassed both of these things, to the point that I was a bit too difficult to compensate.
Moreover, with other facts, if this person also had a very unique way of thinking, it made things even more terrifying.
It's just that, since I don't know where the person is, so the only way for me now is to find his own.
"From thinking about it, we better get back soon, or they might die of starvation." I decided to change the subject a little jokingly, which seemed to have made Nagisa's mood better.
Then, after laughing for a while, the two of us continued walking back towards our temporary headquarters.

(POV Third Person)
Inside the Throne Room, the Palace of the Kingdom of Groxia.
"What the fuck is with your report?! Do you want to say, if all the gold in the palace treasury disappears?!"
A middle-aged man said that in a fit of rage, slamming the documents he was currently holding.
"T-ta-but... Y-ya-Your Majesty.. i-it really disappeared without a trace?! K-ka-we ti–!"
One of the two soldiers who was in front of him wanted to defend themselves with great trembling. But, the words of them were cut off by the middle-aged man, who was currently sitting on a throne in the room.
"Who told you to answer!? You guys are no longer good at guarding the palace treasury, and now you still want to find an excuse for this?! The guard! Take these two soldiers to prison! And instrogate them, until they confess!" This middle-aged man said that with anger submerged in his voice.
"T-t-wait a minute!! Y-his Majesty!! Let us explain it first!!" The two soldiers immediately said this, as they were being dragged out of the room, leaving the middle-aged man along with a bald man who appeared to be wearing the clothes of a bishop of a certain religion, in the room.
After a moment of silence, one of them, the man dressed as the bishop, finally began to speak.
"Y-your Majesty... W-so, w-what are we gonna do with this?" Asked the bald bishop doubtfully.
The middle-aged man who heard this only looked at the bald bishop with a resentful look for a while, before he finally answered.
"Understand!"
After a brief reply, the bald bishop turned around and began walking out of the room.
However, just a few steps away, the bald bishop suddenly stopped moving, before the person started to turn towards the middle-aged man before.
"By the way, Your Majesty, how are we going to deal with those Heroes who went and disappeared? Because, one of them seems to be very strong." This bald bishop said with great doubt.
The middle-aged man himself seemed to start pondering things for a moment, after he heard the words of the bald bishop.
"Send those Assassins to kill them all. Because, we mustn't let them meet one of the Aurchi Church schools out there." This middle-aged man said that very seriously, while looking at the bald man with sharpened eyes.
"Well, Your Majesty. I will ask those Assassins to do it right now. "
After answering this, the bald bishop immediately walked out of the room in a bit of a hurry, leaving the middle-aged man alone in the room.

(POV Souji)
When the two of you arrived at our temporary headquarters, we were both greeted by the sight of these people talking about something.
From what I can hear, it seems like these people are talking about the transfer student, who killed someone so easily.
Not only that, thanks to Mirai-kun too, they inexplicably started arguing over something about me, which seemed to stop immediately, after I appeared from a distance.
"Did you get something for us to eat, Shimotsuki? Please don't tell me you didn't get anything." The one who immediately spoke in this sarcastic tone was Mirai-kun, whom I only responded with light shoulder force, because I knew that responding to him would only complicate things.
After all, somehow this girl seemed to really hate me, which I myself never had any problems with.
And, since I was tired of arguing with this little girl, plus we also needed to eat, so I decided to just ignore it and immediately make dinner.
The thing I will make this time is a simple Yakiniku, where I use this [Cowlord] meat as the base material.
There is nothing special in this dish that I made, it can even be said a bit less, because I am very lacking in ingredients, he said, to make the Yakiniku that is worthy of being called as Yakiniku.
But, thankfully, thanks to me who accidentally found a salt stone, where this salt stone seems to be worth consuming, making this Yakiniku I made much better, from what I initially thought.
I cooked up this Yakiniku, assisted by Nagisa, Shinomiya-san, and Sanada, while the rest decided to wash the cutlery that I had previously made using the wood in the trees near here, on a river not far from here.
And, for safety reasons, I decided to cut off everything that was blocking our vision to the river, creating an unhindered straight path to it.
Of course, I also did not forget to create a barrier, using the same type of Magic as the transfer student's, just to prevent random monsters living in the river from attacking these people.
While the group of people who cook, it only takes almost an hour to finish their cooking, on the other hand, the group that cleans our cutlery can be finished faster.
Then, after everything was ready, we decided to have dinner, while talking about some random things, which inexplicably became an instrogation against me.
This instrogation regarding the strange abilities possessed by the transfer student, to the Magic I had been using all this time, or rather, that I had used to create a barrier in the river.
Of course, I only replied to her soberly, because even though I wanted to cover it up, but considering that we were already in the Wizarding World itself, it made it difficult for me to cover it up, anyway, especially after seeing me use it so casually earlier.
Just like that, we spent our dinner quite harmoniously, before we finally decided to check the status of each of us.
