When we got home in the evening, there was a message from Luke waiting at the usual place, on a note that was stuck onto our door.

Is it finally going to be the thing that I was being afraid of? If so, then it has arrived much quicker than I have originally thought, but even so, this day was bound to come sooner or later.

Some time has passed since our duels, and now, the Duke is probably going to finally summon me to Bode’s castle so that I could explain to him in person what exactly happened there.

「Master, message from Luke the Broker: it would seem that he managed to win a bid for the Bitch Butterfly Skill Crystal.」

Roxanne reads the contents of the memo left by Luke out loud.

Oh, so it was a message about obtaining another Monster Skill Crystal? And here I thought that it’s going to be about that other thing. Well, it seems that I am still safe from having to explain myself before the Duke, even though several days have passed already.

In any case, Bitch Butterfly Skill Crystal, huh?

「What Skill does the Bitch Butterfly Skill Crystal can bestow, exactly?」

「If I remember correctly, then when it’s added onto the weapon it can imbue it with the wind attribute, and when it is imbued with armor or any protective piece of equipment, then it grants increased resistance against wind.」

「So it works similar to a Mermaid Skill Crystal, but instead of water attribute it gives wind attribute?」

「Yes, precisely.」

I confirmed my suspicions with Sherry. Mermaid Skill Crystal is the one we used to make the Waterproof Leather Mittens. Mermaid Skill Crystal adds the water attribute to weapons and equipment, and the Butterfly Skill Crystal adds the wind attribute. Now that I think about it, I also remember seeing that Cassia had equipment with resistances to all four elements when I looked at her with 「Identify」that one time, so I should probably aim towards making a piece of equipment like that for myself as well.

After all, I have four Empty Skill Slots on my Damascus Steel Forehead Protector, so I might as well put it to good use. With a piece of equipment like that, I could have the resistances to all of the elements on one piece of gear, which means that I wouldn’t have to sacrifice the Empty Skill Slots in other pieces of equipment for them.

「In that case, I think I’m going to go ahead and use it on my Damascus Steel Forehead Protector. Can it be reinforced with the Kobold Skill Crystal?」

「It most certainly can. The effect of the Butterfly Skill Crystal is going to be stronger because of it, and since the equipment made from Damascus Steel is pretty useful in the long run, doing so is going to make it more useful still.」

Sherry is positive about the idea as well. She hasn’t failed in fusing any equipment that she was trying to fuse so far, so it would seem that she finally managed to gain some much-needed confidence. That’s good, and I only wish for that positive trend of hers to keep on going as far as it can.

「Are there only four attributes that can be added to a single piece of equipment with Skill Crystals?」

「Yes, as far as I know, that is indeed supposed to be the case.」

So it’s basically the same as with the four attributes of magic that mages and wizards can use, huh?

「Okay, then from now on, our aim is going to be obtaining enough Skill crystals to add resistances to all four elements to my Damascus Steel Forehead Protector.」

「Eh?」

For some reason, Sherry froze right where she stood. Ah, could it be that she’s worried about imbuing multiple Skills to a single piece of equipment due to how supposedly difficult such a feat would be? *Sigh* And here I was spitting all those praises at her for finally gaining confidence, only to find out in the very next moment that she’s still uncomfortable with the challenges that look like they’re going to be tougher than the rest that she did up until now.

「Sherry, I know that you still might have some reservations since there wasn’t much progress in the research on imbuing items with multiple Skills, but I think that it should be fine as long as we make sure that none of the effects are going to be overlapping with one another.」

「Urn… I… I guess you’re right, master.」

「Of course I am. Now as I said, don’t worry about it. If it doesn’t work, it will simply not work, nothing more to it than that.」

「Ah…」

That being said, it’s going to be hard to test if that is going to have an actual effect or not. It takes me back to my earlier days in this world when I have just obtained the Alchemist Job and its Skill, 「Plating」, which I had to test out by applying it to a monster just so that I could see what that Skill was doing since the name itself was not telling me much. But that approach could only work with Skills, since it would probably be exponentially difficult to force a monster to equip the Damascus Steel Forehead Protector.

I’d have to capture it, render it unable to move, and equip the item…. And that’s all under the assumption that monster can even equip pieces of human equipment in the first place, because I have a lingering suspicion that this is not going to be the case.

The only thing I can do in that case is to test it out on myself. Yes, that’s right: I have to become my very own guinnea pig for human experimentation…. Except that this concept is still not entirely appealing to me, because testing passive Skills that give you resistances is one thing, and testing the active ones like 「Fire Wall」where you’d have to put your hand into the fire to see whether or not it is working properly are two different things.

「That’s right, it would be hard to test the effects. I can understand your anxiety, Sherry. Nevertheless, I think that as long as you approach it the way that you always do, then everything should still be okay in the end.」

「That’s not it. Testing the effects of the Skills would certainly be difficult, but more importantly: what if the fusion fails after we’d want to add more than two Skills to a single piece of equipment?」

「As I said, I trust that you’ll do just fine, Sherry.」

「Ohhh… I see.」

Sherry looks at me with cold eyes, like I’m some kind of mad scientist. Sherry, listen to me. Things are different for a Party that doesn’t mind human experimentation for scientific progress and the one that does mind it.

If I were a heartless bastard, then I would either buy myself a slave for the express purpose of having my very own personal test subject, or I would turn a captured Bandit or a Thief into one, simply shooting my magic at them while they were defenseless and counting how many Spells does it take to kill them.

But something like that would be inhuman, and it would be going too far just to check something in order to satisfy my own curiosity.

If we could conjure a demon or a monster to act as our test subject, then that would immediately solve all of our problems, but I don’t even know if there is a magic based on summoning in this game. Without it, however, there is no other way for me but to test the magic and the effects of the Skills myself.

As much as I don’t like it, that’s just how it is, and I have no choice but to accept it.

However, those are the worries that we’re going to be worrying ourselves with later. For now, we have returned home where I put on the apron, which I bought from a clothing store in Quratar, and fried the Whole Fish.

It’s called apron, but not a shred of cuteness can be found in it. It is focused on practicality, and nothing else beside it. As long as it’s I who puts it on, it’s alright, but I don’t want the girls to be wearing things like that. I want them to wear cute aprons instead.

After I carry the dish to the table, we start eating.
