Chapter 154: Chapter 154. High-Cost Skill...
With the overwhelming presence of Fenrir disappearing from the room, the atmosphere evidently lightened.
"Phew, as expected of Lord Divine Beast. The presence is to the extent of being dreadful," Aniue said while shaking his head fearfully.
"Yes, although those big starry eyes were very beautiful, they look very scary when you are stared at by them."
Hearing Sylphy's comment everyone nodded their head.
"Now then, the two people who did not receive Lord Divine Beast's contract, please withdraw, Faren said calmly looking at the second queen who nodded at him and walked out of the room while dragging an unwilling Rector with her.
"Now then, Myne, won't you tell us about your secret which Lord Divine Beast was talking about? I think that would be very serious right? We also want to know if it is really as serious as Lord Divine Beast was saying," Faren asked making everyone in the room silent.
Damn you Fenrir! Damn your big mouth, can't you let me out of this matter. Thank god I already made a plan for this kind of situation, otherwise, things can be a little tricky, Myne thought and looked at everyone who was waiting for his explanation, the fire of curiosity can clearly be visible in their eyes.
After taking a deep sigh, Myne shook his head and start explaining then his ready-made story, "You all know that I was awakened three skills Appraisal, Inventory and Cut and Paste, right?"
As Myne said that, everyone except Aisha nodded her head.
F*ck, I forget to tell Aisha about Cut and Paste ( Fake Verison ), she only knows about my two other skills. Sigh, she looks very piss off, I am in trouble tonight, Myne thought and give Aisha an apologetic smile, in reply, Aisha show him her middle finger with an angry expression.
"Hehe, It's the same as the report we received from the temple, isn't it?" Garnet, Sylphy's Mother, and Myne's secret crush said with a little giggle.
"If those three are the skills you have been awakened with, there isn't any reason for Lord Divine Beast to be your backer, right? There maybe be some other reason," Aniue inquired with a frown, he still didn't understand what is so special about those three skills.
"Yes, what Elder Brother said is right, there is indeed something else, after I save Lord Divine Beast's children, she curiously asks about my skills, and when I told her about them, she show a surprised expression and said that I am very special, and my skills are not as simple as they seen.
After which she said that as a gift of saving her children, she want to bestow me two of her skills which joined together with my other three skills, will exhibit an outrageous effect.
As Myne said the expression on everyone's face already change from curious to surprise.
At first, I reject her request since taking someone's skills as a gift is too much, and I actually didn't help much during the fight, but she said that she can't use those two skills because the main skill which need as core support to use then she doesn't have it, and that skill was Appraisal, which surprisingly I have.
So after listening to her explanation, I thought a little and accepted her generous gift since no one wanted to be weak especially if you have two very beautiful wives," Myne said while laughing, but seeing that no one show any reaction to his comment, he cough awkwardly and continue, "Among the two skills Lord Divine Beast bestowed me, the first one lets me copy other people's skills and the maximum limit is 10, this way I can use more than three skills, but after copying 10 skills if I wanted to use another kind of skill, I have to erase previous one first."
"WHAT!!"
Just as Myne finish speaking loud exclamation sounded in the entire room, everyone have their mouth wide open because this is a common fact that normal people can't use more than 3 skills, let alone someone using 15 at once.
I hope after hearing about my other skill, they don't start beating me out of jealousy, I should increase the side effects of the second skill otherwise they might give birth to some bad thoughts, Myne thought his face twitched after seeing everyone's reaction.
"As for my second skill, with this, I can transfer someone else skill to whatever person I want to expect of myself, but there are two big problems with this skill. First, the person to whom I transfer the skill will lose his skill permanently unless I transfer it back, and the second is that every time I transfer someone's skill, I will 1 month of my life," Myne said with a sad fake expression.
As for why Myne only increased side effects from 10 days to 1 month? That was because after thinking for a while Myne realised that with Aisha and Sylphy's current skills, it would be very dangerous for them to follow him in the future, after all, currently, they couldn't even defeat an orc general, let's not talk about other powerful monsters and Hume.
So Myne decides to not make the side effect of his transfer skill too serious otherwise no matter what he says those lovely wives of his probably never allow him to give them extra skills in exchange for his life, unless they are power-hungry and do not care about his life. This is also the reason he decides to tell them that he can give them skills.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Although this time no big ear pricing exclaimed sounded as Myne expected but the way everyone now looks at him is no different from the way when Myne look at the graveyard ghost beside June's house for the first time, it is just for everyone that ghost currently is Myne.
"Omg, how can there be such a pervert skill in the world?" Aniue spoke with a trembling body.
"No wonder Lord Divine Beast care so much about you, so this is the reason behind it, now I understood the entire matter," Faren said with a bitter smile, he never have imagine that his daughter would one day hook up with such a powerful boy, now he can rest assure about her future.
"What! Such a serious negative effect?!"
Compared to others who only care about what can skill bestowed by Fenrir to Myne can do, his wives have completely different thoughts, after all, they love Myne very much that's why they are willing to live with him and can do anything to make him happy, not because they are interested in his skills, for them his safety is most important thing is in the world.
"We Hume already have a very small life compared to other races if Lord Husband uses this skill too much, then won't he soon become a dead bone?
Also, the most bullshit thing about this skill is that Lord Husband himself can't use this, then what is the meaning of giving him something so worthless?" Sylphy who was always shy in front of her parents didn't care about anything and said angrily while giving Myne a tight hug so he doesn't be sad.
"Ahh, Thank you, my little princess, I really needed this," Myne said emotionally while hugging Sylphy back with a big genuine smile, seeing that Sylphy didn't give a little bit of f*ck about his Trasfer skill (fake), he finally took a breath a relief.
While hugging Sylphy and enjoying her warmth, Myne didn't forget to look at his first wife, who although not as bold as Sylphy who can shamelessly hug him in front of King and Queen, but after seeing her expression Myne know that she is both angry and worry at the same time, after all unlike Sylphy who live most of her life in the royal palace, Aisha has seen the world and know that if someone finds out about his transfer Skill ( Fake ) then they are definitely never going to sleep peacefully.
"Cough, Sylphy, we are still here, you can hug your Lord Husband later as much as want but now don't forget your manners," Garnet said gently while shaking her head helplessly.
Hearing Garnet's voice like a cat whose tail was stepped on by someone, Sylphy immediately push away Myne, with a tomato-red face.
"Hahaha..."
With this small episode, everyone finally calms down, they talk a little bit more, clear their doubt, and ask various questions regarding how Myne's other skills work etc. Aniue also asked Myne how he used many skills during their mock battle since that time he didn't even meet Fenrir.
In reply, Myne calmly said that his parents left him some one-time-use magic items, and in order to impress his Brother-In-Law he use them but still failed miserably in the end.
Although everyone easily believes in Myne's nonsense thanks to his OP Liar skill but Faren and Garnet frown deeply hearing Myne talking about his parents, and because Myne was surrounded by his wives, Aniue, Ayri, and Lewis, he didn't show their expression, otherwise, he would surely have sensed that something was not right.
At any rate, after the questioning session is complete, Faren dismisses everyone saying that Myne needs rest since he work very hard the last two days.
Hearing Faren comment no one said anything and left his study room one by one, Myne of course taken away by his wives and Ayri to Sylphy's room, since he is going to stay there till he is in the capital city.
