I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Sleeping Beauty On the way down to the lower floors, I introduced Pigimaru to Mist . [I was worried because I’ve always felt a presence nearby, even though I couldn’t see any monster around the area . So, it’s actually him I’ve been sensing . ] I remembered the conversation that we had right after we alighted the hidden stairs . “There seems to be no monsters at the moment . ” “Hati-dono, actually—” At that time, it seems that Mist was about to ask something . It’s as if she wanted to say that she have felt the presence of a monster . I would have said “monsters other than Pigimaru” if she had known about his existence before . . [Come on, Pigimaru . ] [—Pii . ] The frightened Pigimaru timidly extends his protrusion towards Mist . Mist also reached out her hand towards Pigimaru . She sneakily glanced at me . [It... won’t bite, right?] [Yeah . ] [Pyiii~... Pii, pii... Pii...?] It seems that Pigimaru is still on guard against her . He’s poking Mist’s fingertip with his protrusion . Punii, punyuu... I feel that he’s still quite timid in regards to her . Mist’s lips turned to a smile and her eyes softened . [My name is Mist Barkas . Nice to meet you, Pigimaru-dono?] [Pii? Pyiii... Piii... . . Pyuuuu~♪!] Pigimaru began to rub Mist’s finger with his protrusion . His color has turned into a light pink . It seems like he liked her . (T/N: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I’m sorry . ) [Fufu, It’s a really cute slime . I strangely feel at ease with him . ] [Pii~ ♪ ] [It seems that you’re quite liked by Pigimaru... I think this is the first time that I’ve seen him being friendly with others . ] [Pii!? Pyuuu~!] His protrusion suddenly reached out towards me . Punyuu, punyuu~ I could feel Pigimaru’s squishy protrusion on my cheek . Pigimaru’s color turned into a really bold pink . Mist covers her mouth with her hand . Pfft... [Nevertheless, It seems that he really likes Hati-dono the best . ] [Pii ♪] v Monsters came attacking us at regular intervals . However, Mist was always the one who slays them every time they appear . Mist doesn’t to be that much in danger in these battles . It seems that she stands up against them quite well . I feel like she’s already used to battle . We proceed further down into another floor . I arrived at a place that kind of resembles another residential area . [Hmm?] A familiar door gets into my sight . They look like the jewels that I had seen before . This is exactly that door that opens when you inject magic energy into them . I placed my hand on the jewel and inject my magic energy . With a subtle vibration, the door began to open . I promptly check inside the room while being alert for ambushes . It seems that the room is completely empty . I step inside and look around the room . There was nothing particularly eye catching that I could see . Old furniture were already arranged inside the room . There doesn’t seem to be any traces of traps... I call out towards Mist that was standing guard outside of the room . [You can come in now . ] [I understand . Excuse me . ] Mist enters the room . [......... . . ] [What is it?] [Nothing . ] Was that “Excuse me . ” earlier really that necessary? I closed the door and placed down my luggage on the floor . I take out my pocket watch and checked for the time . [We will take a break in here . ] [Roger that . ] [You can take some sleep, you know? I will just wake you up when we’re about to leave . ] Mist paused for a while before replying back . [No, I’m fine . ] [I can see that you lack some some sleep though... I swear I would wake you up when we would start to go . That’s why I want for you to get some sleep, but...] Mist covers her eyes . [I think I would surely not get some sleep though . ] [I heard that you would remove some of your fatigue even when you just lie down for a bit . How about you just lay down in a sleeping bag on the floor?I would also be troubled if you suddenly collapsed on the way . ] Mist began to ponder about it . She exhaled out a sigh and smiled . [I understand... Well then, I’ll be lying down for a bit . ] Mist began removing her bracers while leaving her forehead protector that’s emitting light . Next, she laid down a sleeping bag and laid down . In a posture that’s turning away from me . [Pigimaru . ] [Pii . ] I secretly gave some instructions to him earlier . I would have him distract her . Punyonn~ Pigimaru jumps down to the floor and turned back into its round shape . While he’s in that rounded form, he crept in front of Mist . He finally stops when he’s in front of her face . [Pii!] [Pigimaru-dono...? What’s the matter?] [Pii!] [] [—-...suu...] I invoked towards Mist . I will let her sleep until the gauge runs out . This deep sleep that she would have may have been just for a short time, but it would still restore some of her fatigue . I’ve read that somewhere in the net before . [If the duration of her sleep is longer, it may even be used to treat insomnia...] Well, it’s not really clear yet whether would make someone have some peaceful sleep . [Pii, pii, pii, pii, pii . ] Pigimaru is swaying left and right in front of her . Somehow, he looks like he’s moving like a metronome . Is he... watching over Mist? [Pii?] At that time, [Pipiii~!?] Mist’s forehead protector disappeared . The bracer that was placed beside the sleeping bag also disappeared . Immediately after that, I could see Mist’s figure suddenly changed . [————-] Her ears completely deformed... –into pointed long ears . Elf... I stood in front of the sleeping Mist . [Pii?] “What happened to her?” It seems that Pigimaru is asking something like that . [I’ve already had some premonition about her true identity . It’s just that—] I looked towards Mist again . [This is really surprising . ] The change wasn’t just her ears . Even her face has changed . “Something” must have been cancelled out when I used earlier . I also feel that her hair is a bit different . Her face was evidently different . My breathing almost stopped when I saw her face . Mist’s face before she changed was indeed that of a beautiful woman you could find back in my world . However, now— She’s way beyond that . I’m already used to seeing beautiful women . For example, I can say that my aunt was a beautiful woman . Even back in Class 2-C, there’s Sogou Ayaka . There’s also the Takao sisters that you could call the pinnacle of beauty . Therefore, I had only regarded Mist as a “beautiful woman” on the same category as them . However, the current Mist Barkas was very different from just that . How do I say this...? It’s as if she’s not real . Rather than the face of a living being, it’s as if her face is something that was sculpted by an artist who’s in search for the pinnacle of beauty . [I see...] “I’ve heard that the men and women Elves were so beautiful that your eyeballs would pop out after you see them . ” I remembered the conversation I heard in the tavern . [So this is how High Elves looks like . ] I also remember his words . Monk Dorogetti . He’s the man who tried to pick a fight with Mist in the middle of the crowd and was shamed because of his mistake . Though, he later died here in Mills Ruins . After he tried to pick a fight with Mist in the plaza, I kind of felt something out of place . It’s because Monk was too confident . Why is he so confident with his words? I became a bit worried about this . Mist’s head has been covered with a hood at that time . Ordinarily, he shouldn’t have been certain with his words . He haven’t even seen Mist’s face after all . First of all, it is just natural to consider the possibility that he has mistaken someone for another person . However, Monk was absolutely sure at that time . What does that mean? It means that— he had some kind of basis that has led to his belief for his accusation towards Mist . An example of this is when I had heard her voice at that time . I was immediately certain about my thoughts . That Mist is “the girl that I had met back in the dark forest” . Monk must have also been certain about something . He must have heard Mist’s voice . She could probably change her face and ears with some kind of special power . However, it seems that only her appearance can be changed . In short, her “voice” can’t be changed . Monk had been extremely obsessed with “Seras Ashrain” . I remember her voice because her voice is something you can’t easily forget . And, he must have heard her voice before . As far as Monk could see, the voice of “Seras Ashrain” and “Mist Barkas” must have been exactly the same . [......... . ] There’s another thing that I’ve noticed . My sight... moved towards Mist’s chest . There appears to be no change that has happened when in comes to her body— or so that’s what I think . As far as I could see, only her head has changes . I thought about what Monk has said before . “Even that already ripe part of yours, that pathetic excuse of a pair of breasts! I remember it all!” He was so confident that he had burned her “breast” into his memory . No, I don’t think it’s just because he had burned her breast into his memory... Moreover, her body had been concealed under her clothing . However, her personality must have made Monk absolutely sure . Her voice and her breast . Her personality must have also been burned into his memory . It was burned into his mind so much, that he became completely convinced that she is Seras Ashrain . That’s why, when he had removed her hood, Monk became terribly confused . That’s because the face she’s wearing and the shape of her ear doesn’t match with the one on her memory . Monk wouldn’t have understood the reason why . Her voice and the shape of her body were completely the same . However, just her face and ears weren’t exactly the same... “That’s... a lie... I’m not mistaken . Everything’s a lie...” It had also been in her favor when he became confused . I then looked towards her pointed ears . Monk had tried to reach out his hand and touch Mist’s ear . Mist strongly slapped his hand away and glared at him . [In other words... This is how it originally looks, huh... Rather than changing her body, this ability of hers changes the “information” that was reflected in other people’s eyes . . ?] For examples, through the use of Illusory Techniques . (T/N: Genjutsu) I see . When you touch her ear, you could feel inconsistencies between the “information that you had seen” and the “information that your hand could feel” . That’s why, is this the reason why Mist strongly dislike being touched by others? “By the way, are elves strong?” “They fight by borrowing the power of the spirits . ” The men has talked about this back at the tavern in the inn . [Is this illusion technique the power of the spirit...?] It may also be the power of the spirit that made her have the ability to see through lies . Her forehead protector . Her bracer . Her armor . All of these equipment must have been made with the power of the spirits . Now, it seems that the power of Mist’s spirits has been released . When she was incapacitated because of , the effect of the spirit’s power were sustained . However, [It seems that the power of the spirit would be temporarily disappear when I casted towards them...] Unexpectedly, I’ve discovered the advantage of . I look down towards the beautiful face of my guard who’s gently sleeping right now . The blue gauge above her head is steadily decreasing . [......... . ] It is still not clear yet . It could just be said that the premonition I held before was reinforced with this . However, I am almost certain... –that she’s the former knight leader who has disappeared from the Holy Kingdom of Neia . The Princess of the High Elves . The true identity of Mist Barkas is— [The Princess Knight, Seras Ashrain . ]
