Being Able to Edit Skills in Another World, I Gained OP Waifus

The perspective of my client, Lila Tinotas.

The pilgrimage to the Valley of Sumiro is the coming-of-age ceremony for one's clan.

By crossing the mountain and gathering in the valley, one is recognized as an adult.

Most of our clan is made up of elves and half-elves. The elders told me that going to the Valley of the Sumiro is like a clan instinct.

The back roads of the mountain are gentle but riddled with evil spirits. It is more difficult to walk on these back roads than the city streets.

However, my family has lived in the hidden villages in the mountains. They are used to walking in the mountains. I'm confident that I can handle this level of gentle mountain crossing lightly.

In fact, the adventurers of the guards - I will have a hard time walking slowly to match their pace.

The only people who can keep up with your feet are the elves and dark elves who live in the mountains and forests.

Will the human adventurers be able to keep up with ......?

There was a time when I thought that too. I'm sorry: .......

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!

And now, myself - Lyra and her escort adventurers - are on the mountain path.

''I see. So this is the back road passed down in Lyra's clan?

...... Oh, it's a lot easier to walk than I thought it would be.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And you can't see it from this far away from the fort, can you?

"...... haha. I'm sure you're right: ...... I'm not going to be able to get this much of a road to ...... for the mysterious Thief Melody. It doesn't matter ......, so ......

Ho ho ho ho!　The initiative!

Surprise!　Inexplicable!　How can you guys keep on your feet!　Why am I dressed like I'm being driven away...?

While walking along the mountain path, Lila-Tinotas exclaims to herself....

Nagi's point of view...

An hour after we left "The Northern Town of Hermilt".

We were walking along the mountain road with Laila, a half-elf, in the lead.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!

Yeah, it's going better than I expected.

We're moving ahead in two lines, with Lila in the lead.

Me and Iris. Me and Iris, Cutlass and Cecil. It's Aine and Rafilia's turn.

Laila-san led us to a path some distance away from the usual mountain paths. It seems that her family has information about the hidden back roads.

The path is a bit narrow, but the ground is surprisingly firm. The climbs are not so hard.

So we made use of our "mountain hiking" skills and started walking normally, but...

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!

Jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez!

Humiliation!　I'm used to mountain roads and I can't lose...!

Laila, who was leading the pack, was slowly beginning to breathe on her shoulders.

'Maybe you should slow down a bit more.　Lila.

I said.

Lila didn't stop, but turned around and pointed at Iris.

I'm fine," she said. You should be more concerned about your daughter. ......

"....... Ah. Huh. ......

Look at him. You're gasping for air. I think you're pushing yourself.

............ no. Huh. ...... Oh. No problem. Iris ...... No, no, the mystery sifu melody, you're sure of your footsteps ......

Tsk tsk tsk.

Iris proceeds with a light step.

Her luggage is in Aine's 'big sister's treasure chest', so she's mostly empty-handed.

The shoes are sturdy ones for mountain hiking that I bought in the "northern town of Hermilt".

It's as if this is just a flat area of land as well, and Iris is crispy on her feet.

'...... did you really not know about this road ......?'

Lila, the half-elf, rolls her eyes.

'How can it go so smoothly?　Are you guys that used to the mountains?

「「「「「 Sigh. 」」」」」

Me, Cecil, Aine, Raphilia, and Cutlass all spoke in unison.

In the meantime, we don't stop walking.

Lila-san knows the directions and how to walk in the village lore. That's why I'm walking at the front ...... always with me and Iris looming behind it.

Iris's gait is not at all confused. My little feet are firmly planted on the ground, and I'm choosing a stable part of my path. His lower half of his body is solid, but his upper half is wobbling, a mysterious gait.

His face is bright red and his clasped palms are drenched in sweat.

Occasionally, Iris would let out a "......" and clench my hand.

Every time I check the skill inside Iris, I check the "brilliant stroll".

The skill is in full effect.

It's a 4-concept cheat 'mountain hiking' skill, so the mountain path is easy to follow.

The concept of "Brilliant Stroll" made with "Fast Reconstruction: Quick Structure: Revised" takes a long time to stabilize, but the gap between the concepts is small. All you have to do is fix the misaligned concepts with your fingertips while walking and you're back to normal.

That's why, while holding hands with Iris, I'm trying to fix it little by little, but...

...... How are you feeling, Iris?

I whispered in Iris's ear.

"............ haha ...... It's not a problem at all. ......Yes ......

His little fingers are still squeezing my hand.

"Compared to when you always 'rebuild' me, ...... it's a lot more ...... heirloom. Just the feeling of being one with ...... your brother has been ...... for a long time ...... and continues ...... It's like going up the hill and then down ...... and then up again ...... and it's like .......

It's not that hard, is it?

"...... No, it's more like ...... fluffy and ...... the boundary between you and your brother is disappearing... ...Happiness: ......

Iris smiled at me as if to reassure me.

I'm glad to hear that.

The "Brilliant Stroll" is also useful, and Iris seems to be doing well.

Wow, I don't know. I know how to walk in the mountains. I'm used to hiking in the mountains myself, so ...... how can you guys just stick together!

Laila, who is walking in the lead, is still amazed, though.

...... Oh, the power of love. ......

Squeak, squeak.

Iris gives a small shake of her back and squeezes my hand again.

Arrows and numbers appear in my and Iris' vision.

This is the effect of the 4 Concept Cheat Skill 'Brilliant Stroll'.

This skill is similar to Rita's "Flamboyant Escape", in which a navigation system appears in your field of vision. The arrows that indicate an easy course to walk, a stride with less fatigue, and even a stable foothold. Iris and I are just walking according to those instructions.

So I'm not tired at all. I've hardly ever walked in the mountains.

'Are Cecil and the others okay?'

I called out to the back of the room.

It's not a problem. I've been living in the forest for a while now, so I'm comfortable.

The cheery voices of Cecil, Aine, Raphilia, and Cutlass come back to me.

I send Navi to Cutlass, and they all walk accordingly.

If I send the navigation displayed in the "Brilliant Stroll" through the "True Consciousness Sharing 《Mind Linkage True》", everyone can use it. If you can't see the navigation system, you can just follow me and Iris. We are on the 'minimum fatigue' course, so if we continue on the same course, everyone will be less tired.

...... Mmmm. It's a gravel road ahead. It's not quite the same as the records of those who came on the pilgrimage a few years ago.

Suddenly, Lila slowed down.

'Oops. It's very slippery. It's so slippery, I'll have to warn you all to be careful...

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!　Whisper!

"...... Mmm. Hmm. It's a puddle. The ground is muddy, so I'll pick a dry spot and...

Shuffling. Chubby. Hells, please...

Ki, tree roots or something here and there: ......

Sss. Scissors. Creeping...

...... scary. There are pros. A professional mountain hiker beyond my clan is here ......

"............ Onii-chan's. For a party, it would be ...... obvious ....... ......

Squeak, squeak.

Iris also held my hand in her sweaty palm.

I looked at the 'High Speed Rebuild and Reform' window.

'Brilliant Stroll (Karei Sanseki) LV1'

The skill to walk "mountain paths" quickly and reliably in "good listening".

...... 'Concept' is a bit off.

"...so please go to ...... and ...... again, dearest.

Should we stop?

'That would mean that ...... you'll be able to see ...... you'll be able to see ...... Melody and her brother. ...... because they'll find out that you're doing a secret ...... thing.

Iris looked embarrassed and held her mouth.

'The body will walk on its own in 'Oto Pailot' ...... so it will stay ...... in this, this, this melody.'

Well, it's just a little off.

I lightly pressed my finger on the concept of a 'brilliant walk'.

'............ haha.'

Iris's shoulders trembled.

Maybe a little harder.

Gulp.

...... hmmm. Huh. ......

The 'concept' returns to normal and Iris holds her chest and sighs.

'............ It will take some time, but unlike what you always do ...... It must be a strange feeling.

Really?

We went on and on.

As we walked, we exchanged a few words.

...... Yes. Normally, ...... the magic of Iris and Onii-chan mixes ...... well with the magic of Iris and Onii-chan, but this time... ...... ...I feel like we're quietly melting together .......

...... Just like in 'Engage'?

I'm going to go to work on it. I'm going to shake hands with you.

"...... is, yes. I'm still ...... feeling ...... like I'm losing the boundary between you and your brother... ...

Geez. Geez.

Every time the "concept" of the skill trembles, Iris puts strength into her hands.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

She just occasionally shakes her shoulders and cupped her fingers.

The "Fast Rebuild Quick Structure" - Kai allows you to adjust your skills while moving. But the adjustment time is several times longer than normal, and during that time, all the slaves just 'feel connected to me all the time'.

It's convenient.

Next time you want to 'rebuild', you might want to set this as the default.

'No, you can't do that. ...... big brother.

Iris looked at me with a bright red face.

''Oh, when it's ...... normal to walk around with your brother ...... connected to your brother in ...... mariculture...'' ...Iris's information has been disrupted by ......

That's okay. We're gonna be out of work for the rest of our lives.

Me and Iris go on "tediously" holding hands.

...... I'm not going to go out when it's a hassle, and ...... some common sense can be ignored.

............ already. My brother.

Ho ho ho ho!

I look back as I walk, and Cecil, Aine, Raphilia, and Cutlass are all lazily following me.

No problem.

Thanks to Iris letting me experiment with my skills, I'm able to afford the mountain path.

So it's only natural that I should be there to support her. Mm-hmm.

"............ Oh, please remember. I'm going to ...... ask my brother to do ...... an uncommon favor for you.

Squeak, squeak.

Iris puts more pressure on her tiny hands again.

I tap the misaligned "concept" of Iris's skill with a thump.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping... the journey progresses rhythmically, as if my steps and my fingertips are linked to each other.

My steps and Iris's steps are synchronized with each other, and...

Before I knew it, Cecil and the others, who were walking behind me, were right in line with them...

The journey went smoothly, as if walking on the flatlands, and I felt as if I could get to my destination in one fell swoop...

"Wait a minute, I need you to go to ......

Lila, who was walking in front of me, stopped.

He was sweating all over and breathing on his shoulders.

''What is it with you guys? How can you keep up with your own pace when you're supposed to be just adventurers ...... ...... already ...... bothered... ...yes.

Poof.

Lila sat down on the ground.

'Suu, let me take a short break ....... Eighty percent of today's journey is here from .......

I understand.

Me and Iris nodded at the same time.

...... is what?

I look at Iris and she looks at me as well.

At the same time, she nods her head ...... like she's measured the timing.

Or, rather, I can kind of see what Iris is trying to do. As I reach for my water bottle, Iris opens her mouth to look at me. When I put the canteen to her mouth, she tilts it in time with my tilt and smacks it.

Could this be a synchronization between me and Iris?

...... "...... 'Fast Reconstruction and Revision' is me and everyone else's .......

'...... Yes. Let's have the effect of strengthening the 'combination' of big brother and slave ......

I see.

It wasn't just an upper version of 'High Speed Rebuild'.

The 'Fast Rebuild and Revise' allows you to 'adjust' your skills while away from your slave. In other words, the connection is that much stronger.

That's not all.

If I look closely, I can see Iris's skills faintly appearing in my skill list.

Maybe by staying connected, I can borrow Iris's skills.

I'll experiment with this later.

You guys really seem to be able to afford it: ............

As we sipped our water, Lila looked at me and Iris.

'...... can we still go in the state we're in now?'

'Ha, yes ............ is perfectly fine. It's warm and ...... filled, and it would be ...... good enough to keep going like this all the time.

Iris," she said, putting her head on my shoulder.

If ............ can come true, I'll keep on ...... until the night.

'I know you guys are an awesome party. Give me a break ...... we don't have the strength to do this ......

Lila said, and then she put her head in her hands.

────────────

So this is where we're camping today?

We arrived at the lake in the mountains in the early afternoon.

It was surrounded by trees and there was nothing around. I could just make out the vague shadow of a fort in the distance.

Introducing to you," he said. The lake here is geothermally heated and is a good place to work up a sweat.

Is it like a spa?

I agree. Don't look at ...... which my family uses to cleanse their bodies during the pilgrimage.

I won't look.

Lila-san looked at me with a stare.

I'm enslaving the elves Cecil and Raphilia, so Lila-san, who's a half-elf and 'elf moe', would be wary.

''Aine. Can you take out your tent (tent) after you take a break?

Yes, I understand. But first, I need to prepare a meal.

Yes. Let me help you!

Well, I'm here to help you.

'Raphilia and Cutlass can go ahead and sweat it out. It wasn't Iris......, and Melody with you.

"............ haha ......

Iris is snuggled up to my back.

Thanks to the brilliant walk, I'm not tired, but I'm drenched in sweat.

I'd better take a dip before I eat.

...... Oniicha...... Oniicha...... Yes, the mysterious sheaf melody is going to rage on!

...... Are you OK?　Melody.

"............ hechy ...... still ...... Oniichat and Mariki. I'm connected to ......, just .......

Me and Iris untied our hands that we had been holding for a long time.

Iris flinched lightly and walked off with Rafilia and Cutlass.

...... I hope you're okay, Iris. I haven't gotten the 'Rebuild' button for 'Fast Rebuild and Reform' yet.

It's about time to get it finished.

'Melody, you've been acting a little strange.

Aine looked at me.

I'm not supposed to be tired thanks to the 'Brilliant Stroll' that Nah-kun gave you, but ......?

'Yes. Strangely, he looked like ...... 'happiness' has been going on forever.

Oh, Jesus. Both Aine and Cecil.

At Iris's request, I've told everyone that I reconstructed the 'brilliant stroll' on my own, but if I don't, they might find out.

'............ is that?'

When I looked at it, the window for "Fast Rebuild and Reform" was blinking.

At the bottom of the screen, there's a 'readjust' button.

Let's 'readjust' right away. That should calm Iris down.

Melody~! I'm all right now──?

I shouted in the direction of where Ilisu and the others went to bathe.

After a while...

............ You're doing fine...

Melody, I'm watching you.

I keep my sword close at hand!

With the sound of water, Iris and the others responded.

...... Yeah. If Raphilia and Cutlass are with you, you'll be safe.

It's a good idea to make Iris comfortable as soon as possible.

Then──in a whisper, so as not to be noticed by everyone.

I'm going to readjust ............ 'Brilliant Stroll'. Execution, 'High Speed Reconstruction 《Quick Structure》, Revised'──'

And not long after that...

Doh doh doh doh.

Hmm?

Iris, who had just wrapped a cloth around her body, came running.

She's all red like a boiled octopus. What is...?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Why, why do you do it in front of Master and Mr. Cutlass?

'What?　Because ...... 'Fast Rebuild and Reform' should be less burdensome ...... but ......

Ilis thought so too: ...... but ......

Iris's face turned bright red, and she slumped down...

............ "............, now, Saigo's 'readjustment' is ...... usual and ...... ...... the same ...... y, yi ...... no, Melody, in front of Master and Lady Cutlass... ......... Oh, like that ......

............ sorry.

Speaking of which, earlier, Iris was just bathing with Raphilia and her friends .......

I wonder what happened to ............ ......?

'Yes!　Master, I'm afraid so.

"Master...!　I'll keep my mouth shut!　I'll do my best to stop my master from talking...!

Iris desperately holds Rafilia's mouth.

And so...

Iris's physical experimentation had confirmed the strength and danger of 'High Speed Reconstruction and Reform'.

''I think I'll forbid it for a while: ......

'Yes and no. I didn't hate it, so I went to .......

After she finished dressing, Iris sat down next to me.

Then, with a little pause, she sat down next to me.

...... I hope you can use it to sleep with your brother and me, for example.

Really?

It's the same condition I was in during "Engage". I'm sure you'll have good dreams.

All right. Okay, I'll see you back at home.

You promised.

Me and Iris had made such a promise to each other.

Then we all ate dinner together, and we decided to take turns being vigilant about our surroundings.
