chapter 11
11. orientation
●
The laws of the two-dimensional world apply differently than in the material world.
Even if one person’s worth of food is offered as a burnt offering, somehow the humans here can play drums and drums and do everything.
“Ah… you’re getting drunk…”
“It’s so good, this is…”
“…”
As a result, seeing the angels lying on the floor with drunken faces, I unknowingly hold back my sigh trying to come up.
No matter how they look like this, if they are released to the material world, each and every one of them is a being with military force equivalent to that of the corps. There’s no need to do anything blasphemous.
It was not an easy sight in its own way to exude the vibe of the foreman of the human resources office without exception.
“Hey, I ate well.”
And among the angels spread out like that, the one with the most red face stood up and said that.
Apparently… it was the main angel. Among the angels here now, it was clear that he was the highest ranking being.
“Thanks to you, I’m doing all the good things while working. I don’t know what to eat after a while.”
“Doesn’t they feed you while rolling like this?”
“What kind of rice is this in the world behind the scenes, rice? We don’t even have physiological needs.”
“…Does it take care of anything else?”
“Look at our condition. What do you think?”
“…”
Oh my gosh.
Doesn’t that mean that you have to continue your military service for eternity without pay for full-time work?
According to the setting, this race is virtually immortal in the other world.
what an angel Just a winged slave.
“Don’t think about it, give it to me.”
As I looked at the other person with a lot of sympathy, the main angel smiled and pointed at something.
Even now, it was Ultrama who smoked incense next to me.
“Yes?”
“You came to us because you wanted to get something anyway. I’ll give it to you, so ask for it.”
Hey, Squad Leader, you’re hot! You’re alive!
It was a little dizzy to hear the tongue-curled pronunciation coming out of the angels’ mouths.
“…”
Well, it’s not that I’m wrong right now.
Even though the purpose of Ultramar is simply to reveal the appearance of this side, the reason why it is classified as a ‘survival’ item is that when you encounter this side in the game, it unconditionally infuses it with divine protection.
“Tell me what you want in moderation. I’ll put it in as best I can.”
But it was unexpected that they voluntarily handed it over before I even negotiated it.
I’ve prepared dozens of negotiating cards that can be eaten by these people.
While I was staring blankly at the development that worked so well for me, the main angel continued to speak with a disquieted face.
“What are you doing right now, are you thinking about giving this far to a foolish guy like me? Judging by the atmosphere, it seems that he knows the angelic precepts and laws.”
“…to be honest.”
“I can see everything.”
Saying so, the eyes of the lord angel were sparkling with all kinds of colors.
It’s a skill I know.
insight.
The ability to grasp the related ‘essence’ of an object just by looking at it. I must say that I can read the other person’s status window in great detail.
“You are definitely going to be big. It’s like investing in advance. I’ll be back later anyway.”
“…”
“I can see Ssaksu, Ssaksoo. Right now, it seems that he hasn’t fully developed his ability yet.”
Other angels lying nearby said, “Ah, what else do you tell me?”
Even for me, this is a burdensome high evaluation that I want to do something.
‘This must be…’
I’m talking about gift.
An ability that has the characteristic of being ‘loved by the wicked’.
If it’s a part that corresponds to the potential I have, there’s nothing that comes to mind other than that.
“That is more powerful than you think. I will follow your decision on how to deal with it.”
The angel laughed and said so.
The sentence that followed was not something to be said lightly at all.
“It’s not necessarily all good things.”
“Yes?”
“I was bitten by something terrible. I can’t even see the full form, but I know it’s fucking awful. It seems to have stuck because of your abilities.”
what is this again
As I closed my eyes, the lord angel continued to speak while scratching his head.
“But again, it’s funny. It’s fucking awful, but it doesn’t look that harmful.”
“…what kind of grain is it?”
“It feels strangely friendly. At least I don’t feel like trying to harm you. I hoped you would like to help.”
“…”
What is that.
“I can’t even see the shape right now, so it won’t have a direct effect. Be prepared to get involved sometime soon.”
As I was blinking my eyes, such a sentence appeared.
“Let me give you one piece of advice. If it’s your means of survival, you’re thinking of taking everything that’s not yours, right? That incense is also something that should go to someone else.”
“…Did you know?”
“I told you. I can see everything with my eyes.”
The angel smiled again and replied.
“I have no intention of interfering with anything. I wish I had recommended it. I don’t know if it’s someone else, but you admit it.”
“Yes?”
“Take all of that. Anything is fine, so gather all the means available to you. It would be really hard to survive if you were involved with such an abomination.”
The echo contained in the sentence is heavy.
The words that followed were light-hearted.
“But I’m not really worried.”
“What is it? You just made a lot of heavy noises.”
“I can tell just by looking at your expression. The humans I’ve seen get scared right away when they hear these words, don’t they?”
A ferocious smile crept across his face.
“But a guy like you who calmly plans to live somehow as soon as he hears something like that has a long lifeline.”
“…”
“Trust me. Normal guys can’t do that. Are you a cotyledon that will prosper?”
I’ll say this again, but it’s just a burdensome overvaluation.
I’m just trying because I don’t want to die.
It’s nothing different, it’s an angel’s warning, so you should seriously think about it. pretty important-
“Squad leader, are you still talking nonsense after receiving the good ones?”
“Come quickly and don’t use a shovel.”
“Look at the fucking rompers? Hey, these assholes for fear of being an ascended rider-”
“…”
It will be important.
maybe.

‘For now, this is great.’
Thinking so, I looked at the incense burner in my hand.
The protection he received from the angels was quietly sleeping inside.
< Item Info >
[ Divine Ultrima ] [ Item Grade: C+ ]
[ This is an incense burner that has been used for ancestral rites for a long time. Influenced by the divine beings that exist in the Underworld, they have acquired special powers. ]
◎ Built-in Skills ◎
■ [ Penance ] [ Skill Grade: C ]
[ Temporarily converts all additional stats into ‘endurance’. ]
[Consumes a small amount of mana. ]
※ [ This skill can be evolved! ]
Upon evolution, the skill changes to [Proof of Faith]!
■ [Guardian Shield] [Skill Level: C]
[ Creates a shield that drains the opponent’s attack only once. ]
[Consumes a small amount of mana. ]
[ The strength of the shield is affected by the ‘endurance’ stat. ]
[ Has a cooldown of 20 seconds. ]
※ [ This skill can be evolved! ]
Upon evolution, the skill changes to [Stigma]!
Looking at the effects that can be used right away, it is quite useful.
Among the stats, ‘endurance’ is mainly related to health. It can be seen that it is in charge of the body’s resilience, stamina, and endurance. exert the most direct influence on survival.
The higher it is, the more it has the effect of multiplying the effect when using armor-type equipment or abilities.
And in a position where stat inflation is possible in a desperate situation, the existence of a skill that can replace all of them with ‘durability’ and a shield reinforced by that durability will be of perfect help to survival right away.
‘and…’
The key point is that it can evolve.
The only way to evolve is to use as much as possible to increase your proficiency, so it will take some time, but being able to gradually grow these abilities is definitely a merit.
All things that can be ‘growth’ in Sera’s world have the characteristic that their performance increases rapidly as the level goes up.
Getting this from the very beginning of the story must be a huge boon.
It is also the protection of the Lord Angel. nice to receive
‘Isn’t this a blessing that can be received much later than now with this level of performance?’
Of course, meeting an angel itself is only possible after Chapter 2, but being able to interact directly with the main angel level is a long time after that.
Receiving protection from such an existence for free is a huge thing in itself.
The problem is this.
[Consumes a small amount of mana. ]
I skimmed the sentence written on the skill window with gloomy eyes.
Basically, special powers such as magical power, magic power, and divine power are skills that can be handled only by learning the related characteristics.
For me, who doesn’t have any related traits, what’s so good is that it’s a piece of cake right now.
The problem is that this is an area that the academy doesn’t even teach because it’s a matter of course being learned from childhood when you’re an Elfante student.
“…”
It is in that context that I am now in this place. If you can’t learn magic right away, you have to find a way to use it, even as a temporary measure.
“now! It’s a magic gun that was refined this time in the firearms department of the Faculty of Manufacturing! Come now and shoot 10 bullets made from ground spirit stones for free! If you guess well, there will be prizes!”
“We are recruiting new students from the Alchemy Department of the Faculty of Magic! We distribute self-made reagents only during the information event, so come and see us!”
That kind of noise is heard all around.
An information event is a business run by the faculty in advance before students decide on their major at the welcome party for new students to be held a few days later.
They sell medicine because our department is such a fun and beneficial place.
and features of such an event. He orders insignificant tasks and spreads them out, saying, ‘Wow, you did a really good job!’
It’s a whole-hearted effort to somehow attract freshmen… so, slaves to do the chores for them.
The seniors who smile brightly and seduce the freshmen by scattering carrots around them are hiding dark malice inside.
Chicks who don’t know the world are apt to be fooled. It can be caught and eaten as it is.
“…”
Although what I want is one of those things that are sprayed like that.
The place where I am is the event booth of the Witchcraft Investigation Department of the Faculty of Engineering.
Compared to other booths, it is unusually empty, but that’s because the work here is exceptionally strict for a guide event.
In the long dungeon course prepared by the department itself, a simulated battle with a dummy doll that 100% reproduced the reality of the beast with a bundle of magical engineering fibers.
What freshman would want to do such a grueling job, even at an information event.
‘There’s one here.’
As much as they make us do such hard work, the rewards we give here are exceptional.
Considering how difficult it is to obtain, it’s a good item that can be said to be ridiculously easy to eat.
To the point of pitying the other freshmen who miss out on this bonanza.
“Are you specializing in digging your eyes?”
“no. I was listening.”
“okay? Then what did I say?”
“Didn’t you tell me to form a team of two and wait?”
“…”
The senior receptionist in front of me crossed his arms with a displeased look at my answer.
“You probably don’t know what a two-in-one group means. Where is your partner?”
“I will be back soon.”
“Who would come to such an unpopular class? Are you lying?”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Judging from his self-deprecating remarks, he seems to know that his department is exceptionally non-mainstream among engineering departments.
It is true that the knights have the highest prestige among the main armies of the empire, so it is true that regular knights enjoy high envy.
However, the probability of becoming a regular knight is extremely low in the Witch Beast Investigation Department. At best, it was enough to say that getting a job as an office worker worked out well.
‘There are no people who are as comfortable as here if I get along with them.’
True to the department’s name, what it does is to organize weaknesses against monsters, investigate the ecology, and establish an overall ‘strategy’.
It’s not flashy at all, so it tends to be ignored, but the monster’s information from this side makes a pretty big difference in progressing the scenario later.
It’s because they’re the humans who provide tremendous help right from the first chapter of the scenario.
Of course, since it is a non-mainstream department now, it is not attracting new students at all, so it seems to be discouraged. So let’s give some encouragement.
“It’s not a lie that a partner is coming, and it will be very crowded here soon.”
“…What?”
“The guy coming soon isn’t usually famous.”
Saying so, I checked my magical wristwatch.
So, it’s about time to come.
An ‘experienced’ freshman who knows that this kind of study, while apparently modest, is extremely helpful in practice.
“hello! This is the Magic Beast Investigation Department…is…is it…?”
The voice that came in through the tent of the booth was gradually quieted down.
Maybe it’s because I found myself.
Gently wave your hand towards it.
“hi.”
To be honest, I didn’t want to get involved with this guy.
Recently, my thoughts have changed a bit.
Especially after listening to the advice of the angel fathers, I decided to change my course of action.
“The proposal to get to know each other, is it still valid?”
Elijah Krisanax gave me a look of great bewilderment.
