「I'm not sure what to say, but ...... you have quite an austere taste, don't you? Iori-san.」

 

「Hmm?  Really? Isn't that pretty standard?」

 

As the name suggests, reincarnation perks are perks given to reincarnated people, so-called cheats. Depending on the age of the reincarnation, most of the perks you can choose from may be broken in some way or another.

　From increasing the amount of experience you gain and the speed at which you master skills and magic, to learning the skills to understand the ancient language that is the root of all languages. You can do almost anything, from acquiring powerful armor to being born into royalty.

The one that caught my attention was the 『Create Messenger』, a perk that allows you to design and create your own messengers to assist you.

　We have made our post-reincarnation form specialized in domestic affairs, and it is a natural consequence that we would want to acquire an existence that complements this.

 

「Well, I don't know ... I'm reincarnated like this, so I think I have a lot of desire to cheat and TUEEEE, right?」

 

 

 

「Which one do I like, my relatives TUEEEE?」

「Ugh. ....... I'm not sure what to make of that. Now, whatever the case may be, the user is also, let's see, the race is "Demon Steel Species" ......? Oh! It's a race that has the shape of a weapon and the shape of a person! They use their high magic power and knowledge to fight as one with their owners! Iori-san also knows what romance is. ...... Now, what are your abilities ......?」

「What's this?」

 

 

 

　This was my second reaction of the day.

 

「No, really, what is this?」

 

 

 

　Third time.

 

 

 

「Enough with the counting nonsense! Please answer me! What the hell is this status distribution? When it comes to demon steel, it is a legendary weapon that contains the highest level of magical power! What is it about it that makes it magic power 2?」

 

「Oh, don't read my thoughts so naturally! That's okay, that's not what I'm looking for! It's the best way to build skills.」

 

 

 

「That's why this is ......! Well, yeah, let's just see it through to the end. ......」

【Acquired Skills】

―――――――――――――――――――――――

『Weapon of Wisdom』

 

System︰Battle, Magic, Knowledge

 

　-Explanation

 

This is a skill for a weapon of will to identify its user and bring out its full power.

 

It compares the user's combat, magic power and knowledge with the weapon itself and applies the higher one. The weapon will also apply 10% of the inferior status to the user.

 

It also adds 10% of the inferior status to the wielder's status.

 

 

 

Also, with the user's permission, the holder of this skill can manipulate the user's body at will.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

『Magic Formula Construction』

 

System︰Magic

 

-Explanation

 

Description：This skill enables the user to understand the concept of magic and construct it freely, and to modify existing magic and develop new magic.

 

 

 

The power, cost and performance of the altered or developed magic will be additionally enhanced in proportion to the magic power value.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

『The Conductor』

 

 

System︰Knowledge, Internal Affairs, War

 

　-Explanation

 

This is a skill to facilitate the direction and management of an organization.

 

Each of the skills in the Knowledge, Internal Affairs, and War lineages will be corrected.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

「 ...... I see, the main characters' lack of strength is made up for by the magic steel seeds, and their own magic power and magic formula construction strengthens the magic side. ...... The commander reinforces the internal affairs, etc.?」

 

「 Well, that's about it, isn't it? If the need arises, you can surrender your body and let them fight for you, and with this status, you won't be too far behind against a certain level of opponent, right?」

 

「That's true, but when you look at it by itself, doesn't it have a very mismatched status?」

 

「It's okay, it's just that it's built to treat two characters as one.」

 

Anyway, there is no doubt that the first obstacle for the Demon Lord species is the very beginning.

 

 

　I've done a lot of calculations, but when it comes to securing the fighting strength to survive the early stages without killing the advantages of the Demon Lord species, this is the best method.

 

　If you look at it in the long run, it might be better to gain skills that are difficult to acquire or increase experience, but if you can't survive, it's meaningless.

 

　In addition, since two people are treated as one, the benefits gained by increasing the level are also for two people.

 

 

 

　There are some things that you just have to try to understand, but you can say that about anything, and you just have to get used to it.

 

「Ugh, it's kind of annoying that it's taking shape even though it looks rather messed up.」

 

「That's what I'm talking about. ......! It's okay. It's easier for a character to handle if what they can do and what they can't do are clearly separated.」

 

Of course, a build that expands what you can do horizontally is also strong in its own way. But the general assessment of such a versatile character is that it is for 『super beginners or experts』.

 

 

 

　In the end, fighting is a 『contest of strengths』.

 

 

 

　Whether it's a martial art, ball game, game, or board game, this is a constant truth that will never change as long as it has the aspect of competition.

 

 

 

　And not having a fixed strength and being able to adapt to everything also means not having a clear weapon of your own.

 

 

　I mean, even if you stand on your head, you'll never make it.

 

 

 

　You can't expect so much from a simple geek.

 

「Well, ......, but I've done all I can with this. Now all I have to do is reincarnate.」

 

「What? !」

 

 

「Why are you so surprised, ......?」

 

「No, that's ... I was wondering if Iori-san wasn't willing to reincarnate! I wasn't careful, or I expected a little new life to feed the strings while falling into a bubble bath. There are a few things that I've started or say that! Please understand the maiden's heart! 」

「One does not call a man a maiden who dreams of raising a string while soaking in a bubble bath.」

 

「Ugh, please leave me alone! After living with you for a month, isn't this too sudden? You can wait until you've been living together for a few more years, if you want.」

 

　Does this guy have a deep-seated love for bad boys? ......?

 

「 If you want, I'm ready to eat, too!」

 

「What? Stop sticking to me! I got it! All right, all right! I'll stay a few more days, so don't stick around! And don't you dare say a word about that!」

 

Don't underestimate the chastity and profundity of nerds.

「Ugh, what's the use of not eating? At least go to .......」

「I hope she doesn't call herself a "set meal" at least at first.」

「Boo!」

 

I was thinking about my future plans, while trying to dismiss Lucia's pouting face.

 

I'll keep Lucia company for a few more days, and then my fight begins.

To be honest, I was more confused than scared or curious. I was able to make my character in a way similar to that of a TRPG, so I was able to have some fun with it. However, because of the situation, I couldn't come up with a clear vision.

 

The only thing left to do is to actually experience it and put it into practice. There are times when my theories are just empty theories and don't work at all.

It's just ...... right.

I glanced at Lucia once more.

 

「......? What's up? Oh, ......, did you at least want to taste it after all?」

 

「Dumbass.」

「Boo-hoo-hoo!」

As long as there are people who would be sad if I died, I'll do my best to see it.
