Chapter 9 – What should I do… I’m becoming less and less human.
They were listed under the【Status】.
Yes, they who disappeared from the 【Closet】.
The “Magic Eyes of the Seven Deadly Sins" series.
And to think I was relieved when they had disappeared from the【Closet】.
Well, I’m grateful that “Effect” wasn’t in here at the very least.
If my mood caused flower petals to dance around me, my body to start sparkling, or even make black holes appear, then I wouldn’t be able to call myself human anymore.
Also, what I brought forward along with my reincarnation wasn't just limited to the items from Version 1-3.
In order to support Ursch-kun financially, I constantly played his minigames and collected a lot of points for him. Along the way, I gained a lot of EXP, and thus levels.
I had points, money, and way more potions than I would ever need after trading with other players. So, I think I played the minigames, and raised my level far more than the average person.
My friend who invited me to "Love☆Magical" even said,
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone play an Otome game by hitting the level cap and ignoring all the Love interests. Make sure to properly advance the story, okay?”
I wonder how she’s doing right now.
To put it simply, it was torture.
I didn’t need anyone other than Ursch-kun, and I only wanted to interact with Ursch-kun. So, to be whispered sweet words by those needlessly good-looking pretty boys, it only served to give me goosebumps. It really was plain torture.
That’s why, even if it turned out to be a grinding game, or a demonically difficult puzzle, or even a giant monster hunt, if I can escape the task of conquering those pretty boys, and spend my points on Ursch-kun at that, I think playing those minigames were the obvious choice.
And now, those levels I raised with that mindset has followed me even after reincarnation.
As a result, my 【Status】ended up looking like this.

Even though my《Duke’s Daughter》was at Level 3, 《Assassin》was capped at level 99. What’s with that? What was my main Job supposed to be? And was there even a way to get《Duke’s Daughter》up to level 99? I kinda wanna see that: a girl with 《Duke’s Daughter》 at level 99.
What's this ▽ next to the “Magic Eyes of the Seven Deadly Sins"?
Is it where the detailed information is?
Oh, it opened!! Let’s see here...
《Superbia》, Pride was a clairvoyance skill. I could use it to see across vast distances, and change my angle of view towards a specified location.
《Avaritia》 , Greed was an appraisal skill. Appraisal of living creatures is possible only towards those who have lower MP than me.
《Ira》, Wrath was an intimidation skill. It allows me to intimidate any creature in sight, paralyzing them and make them lose their willingness to fight. The strength varies depending on the opponent’s level and their distance from me.
《Gula》, Gluttony was a collection skill. By using this skill, anything within my field of vision would be sent to the【Closet】. However, it can’t be used on large objects of which I can’t get the full view.
《Invidia》, Envy was a copying skill. It copies any unique skill that I don’t possess to its closest form. The only condition is to have seen the activation of the skill at least once.
《Luxuria》 , Lust was X-ray vision. With this skill, I could see through objects and what lied beyond them. However, it seems that I wouldn’t be able to see through magic barriers made by someone with a higher MP than I do.
《Acedia》, Sloth was night vision. I can see just fine even in dark places.
.....
...........
"What should I do… I’m becoming less and less human."
Putting aside《Acedia》...
These and my other skills too, they’re terrifying.
There were some skills ineffective towards those with a higher MP than me, but my MP was capped.
Even if there were people who capped their MP too, since I had 《High Speed Recovery》, wouldn’t I be able to activate it as long as their MP depletes faster than me?
I mean, it’d be great if I didn’t have the opportunity to activate it, but still.
Although, I'm a little happy with 《Avaritia》.
It’s the same (?) as Ursch-kun’s【Appraisal】skill after all.
It would definitely come in handy when I enter the Alchemy Department with him.
Alright, from today on, let's examine how skills are activated in this real world, where it’s not a game.
────────────────────────── ・ ・ ・
Hi there. It's been about two weeks since I met Ursch-kun and recovered my memory. Ever since then, I haven’t met Ursch-kun at!! all!! Whyy~
I mean, we’ve been exchanging letters, but I want to meet him in person and be healed.
Since children in this world go to elementary school after the age of 10, there are not many children of commoners who can read and write at the age of 6. However, as expected of a child of a merchant, Ursch-kun can read and write perfectly. How lovely ♥
Me? Since I’m a noble, a tutor was assigned to me at the age of 5.
If I had to say whether or not my knowledge of Japanese made learning the Rosereale language harder, it’d be a No. Maybe it was because of the 6 years I lived without memory of my past life? Of course, I still remember Japanese, so I write my secret notes and such in Japanese.
While my interaction with Ursch-kun was at a standstill, inspection of my skills were steadily progressing.
First, the “Magic Eyes of the Seven Deadly Sins” series.
With《Superbia》, there wasn’t any problems with looking into the far distance, but when changing viewpoint, I got nauseous. Very nauseous.
I tested 《Ira》on the birds in the air, but then they paralyzed in fear, and the entire flock fell from the sky.
This would definitely end badly when used against human opponents. If their mental was weak, it might be enough to kill them.
I used《Gula》 to collect the flock of birds that fell, but because I couldn't store living creatures in the【Closet】, only a portion of them couldn’t be collected.
Also, if I’m too far to confirm what the item is, it cannot be collected.
By the way, the collected birds were taken to the kitchen for dinner.
For《Invidia》, I couldn’t inspect it because I hadn’t cleared the condition of witnessing the activation of a unique skill.
Using《Luxuria》, I know that our youngest maid's underwear today is white from top to bottom, with white garter belt, and black stockings.
I just couldn’t think of any other uses for X-ray vision, okay?
With《Acedia》, I could see just fine even in dark places.
And about my matching (?) skill with Ursch-kun, the《Avaritia》【Appraisal】…
As I secretly appraised the people around me, it only served to prove how much further from a human I was becoming, and made me depressed.
For example, the young maid in white underwear.
Name: Marie Mason (17)
Race: Human
HP: 5/7
MP: 1/1
Profession
《Maid》 Lv1
《Babysitter》 Lv2
《Chef》Lv2
Special skills
None
Skills
《Lullaby》
《Nursing》
She has been a maid here since she was 15, and is now in her second year of the job. Not to mention, she thoroughly completes her maid duties without a hint of clumsiness. Yet, her Maid level was only 1.
If 2 whole years of diligent working isn’t enough to raise a level, then what in the world could?!
Also, that 7 HP is the average of girls around the same age as Marie.
What should I do... My HP, is 999.
If Ursch-kun casted【Appraisal】on me and found out about my 999 HP, he’d definitely think of me as some kind of gorilla!! No, a Kong!! King Kong!!
If my beloved Ursch-kun ever looks at me as some King Kong woman I’d have to go into hiding for five years out of embarrassment!!
Please let Ursch-kun have a lower MP than me… Please may Ursch-kun be unable to cast 【Appraisal】on me…!!
… After I got a grip on myself, I looked at the other skills. But after seeing the “Job Skills” and “Skills”, I came to the realization… couldn’t I be a “Ninja” with this skillset?
I mean, with the 《Presence Obfuscation》 skill, unless I called out to someone, I’d remain unnoticed even if I were “right in front of their eyes”.
Since I have nothing else to do for the next ten days, I can play ninja all I want.
As a result, I learned about the (too large) age difference romance between our loyal butler who have been serving us for many generations, Shaun-san (an elderly man with glasses), and the maid in white underwear, Marie (17).
Not bad…
Shaun-san’s wife died early in their relationship, leaving him to raise their only son by himself (the son is currently working for our family as an apprentice butler).
All that’s left in his life is to retire and leave his work to his son, but that’s when the young maid who yearns with him, Marie appears.
As she continuously pours her affection towards him, Shaun begins to develop feelings for Marie.
However, he believes that an old man close to death like him, would not be suited for Marie, who is still young and has a bright future ahead of her.
Thus, he struggles to kill off his growing affection, no-his love towards Marie.
Then, Marie will ask Shaun, would you please spend the rest of your life with me? and...
... What am I doing, really?
A/N: I think everyone knows this, but just in case, an explanation.
※MP: Magic Power. The amount of magic one has. If your MP reaches 0, you will lose consciousness and be unable to fight.
※HP: Hit Points. Similar to one’s physical health. If your HP reaches 0, you will lose consciousness and be unable to fight.
winter: I'm just here, being confused about the spacing because how do I-
(I figured out how to do it right after posting this chap lol so I fixed up the status)
I'll be leaving it as it is but if there's anything that's being too annoying then don't hesitate to leave a comment and I'll find a way to fix it!
Also also, the Seven Deadly Sins abilities (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
it makes me feel like I just got a spoiler for the series tbh because I'm pretty sure they didn't cover this in the LN
