Volume 2 Chapter 74 Rie-tan's Transformation (II)
"I want to utilize my Seeker talent to tackle the dungeons on the 101st floor and beyond that no one has explored yet! And for that, I need to become stronger! That possibility appeared right before me... it was the Trans Potion from another world!"
"!"
Rie-tan stared directly at me, her eyes filled with determination as she spoke those words.
"So, without hesitation, I drank the Trans Potion from another world... and afterward, I was able to gain... 'great power.'"
"! Great... power...? Does that mean 'a significant boost in physical abilities' or 'new skills'?"
"Of course, that's part of it. But... it wasn't just that."
"Huh?"
"...A 'new skill' manifested."
"Wait? A new... skill! Not just a skill related to existing ones?!"
"Yes. And in fact... there were two."
"Wait? Whaaaat!!!!"
Two skills?!
No, hold on, hold on!
What... does that even mean!?
As I listened to Rie-tan's story, my head tilted in confusion.
"It's no wonder you're confused, Takeru-kun. But this is an undeniable fact."
Kisaragi-san spoke calmly, as usual.
Like we were discussing tomorrow's lunch menu or something.
"Are you serious...?"
Kisaragi-san nodded. "It's a fact."
"This result surprised me too. I never expected skills to increase... especially not by two! Afterward, I did some analysis, and it seems this is a phenomenon that occurs only with the 'Trans Potion from another world.'"
"Really? Is that so?"
"Yes."
Apparently, the 'new Trans Potion' they developed here didn't lead to new skills manifesting at all.
"Huh? But... what about Rie-tan...?"
"Hmm? Ah... you mean the 'side effects'?"
"Y-yeah! At first glance, nothing seems to have changed, but... there definitely were side effects, right...?"
Kisaragi-san paused for a moment.
Her expression turned serious.
"......Of course. Plus, a significant boost to physical abilities and the acquisition of skills... This time, ojou even gained two new skills. Naturally, there were side effects."
"! What kind of side effects... are we talking about?"
I asked Kisaragi-san hesitantly.
Honestly, I was a little scared to hear the answer.
"......Takeru-kun."
"! Rie-tan?"
"I'll show you... directly."
"Huh?"
Before I could say anything else, Rie-tan suddenly grabbed my arm.
Her grip was surprisingly strong.
And then—
"Kisaragi-san."
"Got it. Second lab is ready!"
The two of them seemed to have this all planned out.
Kisaragi-san gave a small nod and motioned for us to follow.
The second... lab?
* * *
......Amamiya Value Technology Development Division 'Second Lab'
"Just wait here for a bit while ojou changes."
As soon as we entered the second lab, Kisaragi-san said that and guided Rie-tan to the changing room.
"Changes...? What's that about?"
I scratched my head.
This was getting more confusing by the second.
"Ah... well, I guess it'll be easier to understand that way."
"Easier to understand? Wait, does Sagawa know about this?"
"Yeah. While Takeru was in the Ryukyu dungeon, we were here, testing the effects of Amamiya's Trans Potion with mock battles."
"Mock battles? Wait, Sagawa's the same F-Class as me, right?"
"Yeah."
"How could you even fight Rie-tan, who's D-Class?"
"Yeah, we could. I was surprised too, but it's thanks to the Trans Potion. Our physical abilities were quadrupled, and we had skills."
"I see."
I remembered watching Sagawa fight in the Ryukyu dungeon after drinking the Trans Potion.
He really had gotten stronger.
It made sense that he could stand his ground.
"......But, I couldn't stand a chance against Amamiya, who manifested her ability after drinking the Trans Potion."
"Huh?"
Sagawa, who had looked so confident before, now seemed... defeated.
Even after becoming stronger, he said he couldn't match her.
That's how far ahead Rie-tan was after the potion.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Takeru-kun..."
"Ah, Rie-tan... eeeeeh, what the hell?!"
I turned around at her voice.
And there she was.
Rie-tan... in a swimsuit.
What the heck is going on!!!!!
