I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Seras Ashrain She has just responded to the call towards another person that shouldn’t have been her name . The air became heavy, it became too uncomfortable . [Ummm, Hati-dono... that just now was—] [I’m sorry if I did it like I was deceiving you . ] The hand that was over her mouth began heading over her forehead . After a brief pause, she opened her mouth . [So, you’ve noticed it?] [Yeah . ] I talked about my usage of at the Mills Ruins . After I invoked my spell towards her, the sleeping Mist’s ears and her facial features changed . I explained that this is the reason that led to me speculating about the true identity of Mist which was Seras Ashrain . I spoke out all of my thoughts . [Is that so...] She took it easier than I had expected . [Don’t worry . I don’t have any intention of revealing this to anyone . Fortunately, I’m not really in trouble in regards to money . I don’t need the bounty on your head . There’s also no merit for me to tell about you to others . The only thing I needed from you is your ability as a warrior . ] Mist has a complicated smile floating on her face . No— Seras Ashrain . [That time you’re wavering about travelling with me earlier, are you worried that your real identity may be revealed to me?] [——-] [That time when you’re travelling with me while trying to hide your identity, there’s one problem that came up . That problem is probably about your inability to sleep . Am I mistaken?] Seras became surprised that I realized . [Y- Yes . ] If it were inside an inn, you could just separate by going to different rooms . However, it would be different if we were to go towards the Golden Demon Zone . [My understanding is that whenever you fall asleep, that power of yours that makes you able to change your features would be temporarily lifted . Your face and ears that have been changed with your ability would turn back to how it really was . But if I already know your identity, there will be no problem even if your face would turn back even while you sleep . ] [...Yes . ] [But now that you’ve already turned your identity, it would only be your own determination that’s stopping you from stepping forward . ] As a result, I have drawn her decision closer towards my side . [I’ve already said this before, but I don’t intend to sell you out to others . There’s no reason for me to give away a plausible war potential that I needed . Besides, you could easily talk with someone around those times that you’re in need with people that know you for who you are . ] Seras hadn’t spoke anything for quite some time . Soon, she spoke out as if she made her decision . [My spirit ability is a bit different compared with other spirits . ] Seras puts her hand over her chest . [When I’m borrowing the power of my contracted spirits, I would need to offer my “desire to sleep” towards the spirits . ] It seems that you would need to offer towards the spirit the things that someone desires the most . Seras explained . It seems that her most important desire is her sleep . If you were to compare it to other people’s desire, you would be able to sense how unavaricious she is . [In short, does it mean that you can’t sleep when you use the power of the spirits?] [Yes . I could get a very shallow sleep where I’m going back and forth between half-awake and half-asleep, but I’m not able to get a deep sleep . ] I see . That’s why she been short of sleep all these times . I feel like I’ve heard of someone who has paid someone with her sleep . And, I could see the image of someone offering her sleeping time towards the spirits . Is it just High Elves who offer their sleep in order to power of spirits? [......... . ] You need to sleep, but can’t have any sleep at all . There were some rare nights like that back in my previous world . You could feel that those nights would continue on every night . Moreover, you’re in a situation where you haven’t got any decent sleep at all... Depending on how you look at it, that kind of situation send shivers to my spine . Seras has three spirits she’s contracted with . The power of the Spirit of Light made her have the ability to change her facial features and ears . The power of the Spirit of Wind made her have the ability to sense the authenticity of the words of other people . The power of the Spirit of Ice made her have the ability to reinforce her weapon . It seems that the ability to generate her armor and equipment is the combination ability of the three spirits . [The only time that I’m able to sleep was when I’ve paid my due times to the spirits... It’s only around those times where I could release the effects of the changes on my facial features and ears . ] That means that sleeping is literally equal to returning to her original form . [That’s why, you avoided staying in cheap inns where you have to share your inn huh... It’s to prevent others from seeing your true face while you’re sleeping . ] [Yes . ] I think she didn’t intend to sleep at all in the Mills Ruins . No, she refused to sleep at all . She must have thought that she don’t have to worry about anything since she can’t sleep at all . However, she hadn’t expected that she would be put to sleep by my and her Spirit Technique was released . [And also, that four-man group you have defeated before—] Seras looked downwards as she continued speaking . [They were chasing after me . I had thought I’m completely alone when I slept on that place... However, they saw me sleeping . Of course, the effect of my spirit’s ability was deactivated since I was sleeping . ] The spirit’s ability to change the user’s features cannot change anything other than her head . If it’s just the other features that match, you would have thought that it’s almost impossible to trace . It seems that the four-person group were somehow capable people... [The absence of those four people, the White Walker, gave me some space in my journey . I really appreciate what you’ve done with them . ] Around that time, Seras’ head began emitting a faint light . Her original features have returned . It’s “that appearance” of hers that I’ve seen in the ruins . Her ears were pointed . Her beauty has also visibly increased . When I came to, my impression towards her has changed . [About this difference with my facial features—] I stood up . [Have you thought about it if you could trust me?] Seras also stood up from the bed . [Yes . I believe in Hati-dono . I think that you—] She looked deep into my eyes . The cloudiness in her eyes disappeared and her clear eyes became lost any shred of doubt in it . [—are a trustworthy man . ] ......... . Trust, huh . . [It’s Touka . ] [Eh?] Seras’ eyes opened wide . [Let me tell you a secret of mine . My real name is Touka Mimori . Instead of hearing my name from the mouth of others, I think it would be better to tell my real name to you now . Well, you shouldn’t say my name in front of others without my permission, just as I shouldn’t say yours . ] I revealed my real name . It’s a message from me that shows my trust towards her . Such a method seems to be effective for the type of people like Seras . A manner of tying it close with each other, through the chain of trust with each other . [Hati— No, Touka-dono . ] Seras’ eyes softened . It seems that the effect that I wanted to achieve has worked as I intended . She held out her hand towards me . [Introducing myself again, I’m Seras Ashrain . I’ll accompany you as your guard as we travel through the Golden Demon Zone . ] I clasp her hand in return . [Yeah, I’m in your care . ] [Yes . ] I look towards the door . [Pigimaru . ] [Pii . ] Pigimaru squishily hops his way towards here . Until now, Pigimaru has been keeping guard in front of the door to see if someone was trying to sniff out our conversation . [Pyuuu~ ♪] Pigimaru’s color started turning into a light pink as she cries out on Seras’ feet . Seras gracefully smiles and comfortably brought Pigimaru on her lap . [Pigimaru-dono too . Once again, I’ll be in your care . ] [Pii~ ♪]
