Chapter 4 – The Plan Hereafter

After finishing dealing with the robbers’ invasion, I can finally return home. It seems that the robbers caught by the adventurers became crime slaves and were sold off. The money from selling them was divided equally among the passengers and the adventurers involved. Even though I helped, I still do not know whether I should tell anyone else about 【Cut & Paste】so I remained silent. 「Oh! Welcome back, My.e. Did you receive your Skills without any problems? 」 Edgar-san, the gatekeeper whom I am familiar with, saw me and greeted me. 「Yes, somehow I was able to.」 「I see, that’s good.」 Expressing a friendly smile, he returned to gatekeeping after exchanging a few words. Name: Edgar・Munsell Race: Hume Gender: Male Age: 24 Years Old Occupation: Guardian 【Skill】 Twin Blades・Holy Etiquette Iron Wall Wow, Edgar-san’s amazing. He has 【Twin Blades・Holy】. Moreover, he has an Iron Wall, which looks strong. Let’s see what kind of skill Iron Wall is. Let’s try appraising Iron Wall more. 【Iron Wall】: Optional invocation type Skill, able to invoke at any time the user wishes. While invoking, the defence power rises threefold. A cooldown time of 30 minutes is necessary after usage. Oh, three times the defence power, huh? Edgar-san is a person good at attacking and defending. Cooldown time...... should be the time after which you cannot use after using it again. The again’s even such a Skill, I’ll remember it. By the way, even though it’s obvious, there’s no way I’ll cut off Edgar-san’s Skill. I decided to only use it on evil people like enemies and robbers. If I use it indiscriminately, I won’t be different from a robber. After separating from Edgar-san, I immediately entered the town. While using Appraisal non-stop, I walked directly towards my house. It was interesting as I was able to discover skills I never knew existed. My house is on the outskirts of the town. Even though it’s only me living in this house now, originally it was a house where I lived with my father and mother. I can’t say that it’s a mansion, but I think in its way it is a place where I can live. 「I’m back.」 Although there is no one to reply to, it unconsciously came out of my mouth. I felt tired when I entered the house, and sat down on the floor. 「Phew...... somehow I feel tired naa.」 I was doing nothing for a while and rested. Somehow, it has been a shocking day. Ah, yeah, I should appraise myself. Name: Myne Race: Hume Gender: Male Age: 15 Years Old Occupation: Apprentice Hunter 【Skill】 Appraisal・Complete Cut & Paste Dagger・Extreme Swift Feet (Small) Needlework Magic・Wind Twin Blades Sight Enhancement・Moderate Etiquette Leg Strength Enhancement・Small Cooking Art of Negotiation Alchemy The three people I used Cut on during the battle were different from those guys, so I Cut some Skills that looked user-friendly. Cooking, Art Negotiation, and Alchemy. These three. Thinking about the future, these Skills will be helpful for my plans. However, today I gained a lot of skills in one day. It’s still okay right now, but it will be hard to look at the results of the Appraisal after this. The skills that I obtained in order will be lined up, butt I wonder if【Cut & Paste】can adjust this. ......And the result is that the Skills can be transferred. 【Skill】 Appraisal・Complete Cut & Paste Dagger・Extreme Twin Blades Leg Strength Enhancement・Small Sight Enhancement・Moderate Swift Feet (Small) Magic・Wind Cooking Needlework Etiquette Art of Negotiations Alchemy Yeah, with this, it should be somewhat easier to look at. Let’s adjust this periodically after this. ......Now then, let’s think about what to do after this. First things first, it is the reality that I can cut off Skills and make them mine with 【Cut & Paste】. Should I tell people or not, huh ....... I think this is an extremely important choice. Even if I’ve decided myself that I will only cut off the Skills from my opponents, I can’t relieve that. When that happens, naturally, I think that I will try to avoid it. Well, that is true. If I imagine my skills could be stolen without me knowing makes me scared, but I don’t think that will happen. If that happens, it will hinder my life. After all, it isn’t possible to live without any relationships to other people. If it’s like this, as expected, I need to keep this a secret. Next is my life from now on. Thanks to the traps and hunter’s tools my father left for me, I was barely able to scrape out a living, but since I’ve been bestowed with Skills, I want to make use of them. Then, what should I do...... but....... A job which makes the best use of 【Cut】......, the steadiest should be employed by adventurers to dismantle at a dismantling shop? However, there are a lot of different personalities for adventurers, there may also be those who won’t pay for just dismantling. Just by following them once, I might end up following them for life. It might be me worrying too much, but it is quite possible. I will pick on you, but for now, I’ll postpone it. What about 【Paste】? No, I can only think of a worker......, Even if I were to have a Cut, it would take too long to become independent. Kyakka da, Kyakka！！ (Iz: ._., Kyakka sounds better imo xD Kyakka = Rejected) To not use the skills that weren’t bestowed upon me by God, openly, is unexpectedly hard.
