Chapter 253 Maya-Chan And Her Royal Highness - Part Ii
"Ah, so that's why you weren't using it today. I was wondering why Maya-chan didn't bring this out."
It's true, now that I think about it, it's strange that Maya-chan had it but didn't use it during that chaotic battle.
"Right. I talked to Mother (Privia) about it before."
"Yeah, I told her (Maya) it was okay for her to keep it since she can use it."
Mother nodded along, looking like she was saying, "I see."
"I see. I get it now, Mother (Privia). So that's how it is."
"Hey, brother."
"Hm?"
"I was thinking, wouldn't this help boost your 'record update'?"
Well, using it could save mana, right?
"Oh, that might be worth trying."
"See? I told you!"
"Yeah. You're amazing, Maya-chan."
"Hehe."
Using this staff to amplify might really help break the limit of 'Resurrect.' I'm impressed, Maya-chan, for coming up with something I didn't even think of.
"Maya-kun, ...Tatsuma-kun."
Mother's voice sounded a bit exasperated.
""Yes?""
"Do you two realize you're talking about something incredible?"
"Well, it's just a theory, right, brother?"
"Yeah, it's just a possibility, Maya-chan."
"But if it actually works..."
"Hm?"
Maya-chan looked at me with a sly smile.
"Then it would be like, not just a Saint, but a living god!"
"Are you really saying that, Maya-chan?"
"Yeah, I am. Because Maya is still just at the entrance of being a 'Holy Lady'."
It might have only been a few minutes, but it felt like we had a pretty deep conversation.
Looking at Jag-san, it seems he's still continuing the treatment. If I did it, it would be quick, but since he's in charge, I shouldn't take over his work. It's best to leave it to him. He's my disciple and will become the new 'Saint.'
When I shifted my gaze to Maya-chan and Her Royal Highness, they looked like they were having a fun secret conversation. Honestly, I was surprised at how quickly they became friends. Then I suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Maya-chan."
"Hm? What is it, brother?"
"Aren't you at a higher level than Her Royal Highness?"
"Level of the holy attribute? Yeah, that's right."
Her Royal Highness nodded slowly next to Maya-chan.
"When Maya-chan first came to Swiglefen..."
I looked at Maya-chan and nodded. She nodded back, so she understood.
When I say 'when you first came to Swiglefen,' I mean when we came to this world.
"Yeah."
"You started from level 1 of the holy attribute, right?"
"Ah, that's right."
"But you've already surpassed Her Royal Highness's level so easily. Is that okay so far?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
In less than a year, she reached level 4. But Her Royal Highness is still at level 3.
"This is like, Maya-chan and me, and Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun too."
"Yeah."
"It seems like our levels go up more easily, right?"
"Yeah, that might be true, brother."
"If we take Jag-san as an example, he must have treated more people than I have. When I came to Swiglefen..."
Ah, I'm ten times higher than Maya-chan's level. That was close.
"I think I was around level 3, just like Maya-chan, right? I was about the same as Jag-san now, but since I treated people here and there, I ended up at 'that' level."
"Maxed out, huh?"
"Shh. Well, since it's just us, it should be fine. But considering the age difference between us and Jag-san's group, our levels have gone up way too much. But, I wonder? When I was level 3, and now with Jag-san, who could treat the Oso (Dreadful element) poison better?"
I used almost all my mana to heal that one person back then.
"Oh, I see. Maya is higher level, but I don't think Maya can purify water like that, brother. So, yeah, that's definitely true. The output of magic or the effects might be better with Mylavirna-oneesan or Her Royal Highness. Since brother is a 'ghost,' don't compare yourself to Jag-san, okay?"
"Don't call people 'ghosts.'."
"Oh. About that brother being a 'ghost'..."
"What about it? Well, I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point."
"Even though Maya can't see the experience points brother is getting, if brother maxes out, wouldn't the effects of the magic increase or spread based on the experience points brother gained... right?"
"No way, hmm. There's nothing about levels in the 'Display Self-Status Mystery System'..."
"No way, right?"
"Yeah. No way."
While we were talking, the sky on the Celestial Race side was starting to brighten. Dawn is coming soon.
The effect of the night vision potion has worn off, but I can still see a bit of the surroundings. However, since we are down by the lake, we are in a place where we can't see the Celestial Race town.
"Mother, how is it?"
I checked with Mother. She was listening to our conversation with her arms crossed, then turned to face us.
"...Yeah. It seems like there are still no big movements."
Mother is a Tigerman (Kojinzoku), so she can sense the movements of the Celestial Race to some extent by smell. To me, that's like having a cheat ability.
"Thanks, Mother."
"You're welcome."
Rushing out for an investigation was Neta-san, also known as Dorchuneta, who reports directly to me, a Cat-people man. I reluctantly followed her with a wry smile, as Berberi-san, known as Berberiguru, reports directly to Maya-chan.
Should I wait until the two of them come back? Well, if there's any news, Mother will let me know.
"Hey, hey, big brother (Nee, nee, niisan)."
"Maya-chan, don't call me in a way that makes it hard to tell if you're calling me big sister or big brother."
"Big brother, that's a dialect from the tropics, right? It's even more confusing!"
"Oh, I see..."
"Don't get down about that. More importantly..."
"Hmm?"
"Maya's Wilshion-tan, your Centrena-tan, and our mother (Privia)'s Alesion-tan, they're all running dragons, but..."
"Yeah?"
"I could only 'appraise' Wilshion-tan."
'Appraise'? Does that mean...
"'Appraisal Skill', that's definitely a cheat──."
"Let's put that aside, okay? Maya can see Wilshion-tan well, but Centrena-tan and Alesion-tan, the other running dragons, are hard to see."
Oh, Maya-chan isn't smiling. I might have messed up a bit.
"...Um, what do you mean?"
"You finally asked seriously. Big brother, you really need to work on that, okay?"
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry."
