134. Bones and arms




 He brought Emily and Cerberus into an empty room that belonged to no one in the mansion.

'What room is this, Master?'
The storage room. All the stuff you don't use is thrown in here. I know you keep them in here, Emily.
Hi, I'm just getting it all together.
Okay. Let's check it out first.

 I offer something to Cerberus, who looks at me like he has no idea what it is.
 It's a portable now boat, a palm-sized consumable that checks your status.
 If you go to a dungeon, you can check it for free as much as you want, but otherwise, you'll have to buy consumables like this.
 It's not very expensive, though, so I always keep a few things on hand so that I can use them if something happens.

 I offer it to Cerberus.

Try this.
Okay. Okay. Okay, here we go.

 Cerberus' status was quite low.
 His level is also at the upper limit there, but right now it's only 1, and his status is suitably low.

 To be honest, it's a weakness that could be defeated with a single bullet.

The level hasn't gone up? Haven't you ever beaten anything before?
Defeating a human? If you do that, you'll get turned back by a human.
Well, you said you've been living in hiding your whole life.

 While we were talking, Emily opened the door and walked in.
 The storage room holds all sorts of things, but they're neat and tidy, and there's no dust at all.

 No matter how mean my mother-in-law or my little mother-in-law comes to visit, it's so neat and tidy that I can't complain about it.

It's amazing.
Hi?
No, I just thought, "That's Emily.
Really?

 Emily looked at me like she didn't understand.
 I ran my finger along the wall. Instead of dust sticking to my fingers, my fingers scratched the wall.
 That's Emily.

 Emily brought a box of crystals from the back of the room with a lot of them.

It's a lot of accumulation.
'This is what happened because Mr. Yoda sends me a tremendous amount every day.
What is this, my master?
'It's faster to try it than to explain it. Hold it.

 Cerberus did as he was told and lifted the crystal from the box with his mouth.
 The moment he lifted it up, the crystal disappeared as if it had melted.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I touched it and it disappeared.
Don't panic, that's how it works. Let's get going. Emily, bring everything you can find.
Hi!

 Cerberus, who looks at me blankly, and Emily, who brings more crystals from the back of the room.

 You look like you have no idea what it is, but Cerberus still obeys my orders and touches the crystals one after the other and kills them - taking them into his body.
 I've been doing this for a while now, and I've just reached the 20 boxes.

"Master, it has become very hard to disappear.
Is it a cannonball? Then use this again.

 I hand Cerberus the consumable portable now boat I used earlier. He uses it with a look of being pinched by a fox.
 Then.

'Haha! Master, the level has gone through the roof.
Did you do it right?

 Yes, what I gave Cerberus was a crystal that crystallized experience.
 The effect of the ring that was dropped by the Dungeon Master of Nifonium, it allows you to crystallize and store experience values like this after you've completed a canstroke.

 I hadn't been able to utilize it that much in the past, but it was useful for the first time.
 My new companion, my dog Cerberus, went from level 1 to full strength in an instant.

 This is how the people who have joined me can reach level 1 in an instant.
 This will be the standard for the Lyota family from now on, I thought.

''Hawa ...... master is amazing ......''
Because it's Yoda, and he's supposed to be great.
I'm glad master found me.

 Cerberus is impressed, and despite his huge body, he says cute things to me.

You can't go to the dungeon, but you're going to have to protect this house for that. I want you to live up to your name and be the strongest guard dog in the family. You can attack any foreign enemy. Master's orders.
'Yes! I'll bite off all of my master's enemies!

 Cerberus, who is enthusiastic, actually has not low ability.
 It's not a bad idea, but it's not a bad idea.

The next time you go to ......, you're going to be able to blow me away.

 I said, flipping up my sleeve and holding out my arm.

'What? Your master?
Yeah, give it your best shot.
But .......
I don't care.

 Saying that, Cerberus closed in on Cerberus, Cerberus looked at me and Emily with a troubled face, and then he cautiously sucked my arm into his mouth.
 The bite - it's good, but it's not strong at all. It's just a sweet bite.

'More effort,'
You can't bite your master.
'It's necessary. I could ask Emily to do it for me, but Emily's a little too strong for that.
'Kel. If Yoda says so, I'll do it. I have a good reason.
But .......
Emily said if I chewed with all my might, she'd cook me a meal that would kill me.

 --Gab!

 A little pain shot up my arm.
 The moment I dangled the carrot from my nose, Cerberus bit me.

"Haha! I'm sorry.
Gourmand.

 I hurriedly patted the Cerberus on the head as he apologized for pulling his mouth away.

 I continue to look at my arm, the skin where Cerberus had bitten me was dented and turned white and did not come back easily.
 The skin is not torn, but it is dented.

That's about it. Okay, I'll be back in a minute. Emily, feeding Cerberus a delicious meal.
Hi. Kel, what would you like to eat?
'What? Well, um, you know, ......

 Leaving a still bewildered Cerberus and a smiling Emily, I left the warehouse and headed for the transporter room.

     Star.

 After a round (,,) we return to the mansion.
 After a quick search around, I find Emily and Cerberus in the yard.
 Cerberus is standing by Emily's side, twirling his tail and chewing on a massive bone.
 The bones were slightly charred, perhaps from cooking, and gave off a very appetizing aroma, like grilled meat.

Welcome home, Yoda-san.
Welcome home, master.
I'm home. You're on a good diet.
Kellie is a big fan of meat and bones.
It's a doggy. You burned the bones off.
It's a way of cooking with the ingredients. Seasonings are not good for dogs.

 That's why you grilled it.
 I would have given him a raw bone as it was, and that's what Emily is all about with that bit of ingenuity.

"Just in time for the bones to be gnawed on.

 With that, he stands in front of Cerberus and holds out his arm as he did before.

'Bite me again.'
Yes, master.

 You can still see a bit of hesitation, but Cerberus is still much more used to it than before.
 He bit into the arm I held out to him with a gulp.

Huh?
What do you think?
I don't bite at all. Master's arm is much firmer than before.
I know.
Did you give it to her while you were gone?
It would just be a waste of money.
I see.

 Cerberus is pompous, Emily is convinced.
 Emily knows.

 I've been to Nifongnium with the gravatarama, and I've raised the upper limit of my abilities.

 The last time I took the mirror with me, my HP, strength and speed limits went from S to SS.
 And this time, as expected, the upper limits of strength, MP, and intelligence were SS for the grenade.
 After raising the upper limits, I hunted the mammy on the fourth basement floor and raised my strength from S to SS.

 With S, Cerberus's all-out bite was buried in my skin, but with SS, it wasn't even there anymore.

'Yoda-san is stronger again.

 Emily was as happy as she was.
