Multiple proficiency requirements fulfilled. [Singing Lv. 5] [Dancing Lv. 3] [Identity Blocker Lv. 2] [Noble Aura Lv. 2] [Enhanced Auditory Sense Lv. 2] [Night Vision Lv. 8] gained

Come, follow my voice

The dark, scares you, too.

Ill be your guide

Oh, I wont leave you alone.

.

Come, sing with me

Collide our voices

To break through this silence,

Till morning arrives.

.

Sparkle, sparkle. Attract them all. Little bit more light there, a few fire sparks. Don't overdo it with the [Spark Flame Veil].

Keep up the volume. Sing clear and with power!

.

Autumns breeze and the falling leaves

Signals, winters come

I see red, I see yellow

The last colors of the year.

.

Stockpile your food, eat your fill

There is no time to rest, now.

For these last sun rays of the year

Might be your last.

.

The approaching storm

Transforms our world into white and black

The falling snow

Will not shy, to bury us in it.

Over a week has passed since we began operation Make Saori an Assassin. Once she evolved and recovered, I explained to her that my plan, to turn her into the best assassin ever, involves me being bait to lure in monsters, while she tries to find and kill them.

Which caused her to ask, Why would anybody believe approaching you is a sensible idea?, a question I wouldve personally rephrased before saying it aloud cause that actually hurts a bit.

Anyways, I am aware that my dragon form is a rather intimidating sight, so smart monsters would usually flee instead of trying their luck with me, a problem that can be easily fixed with [Humanize] and [Noble Aura].

Noble Aura: The charismatic presence of a person made into a skill. The user of this skill can activate a charismatic aura, that charms anybody in sight

I can turn myself into my cute, innocent-looking dragonewt form and activate [Noble Aura] to look more, uhh, appetizing?

Naturally, this would mean I will be severely weakened due to my stats being halved, but that is not an issue with my defensive spells and skills.

Mana and Intelligence are my forte. I dont believe a common monster would be able to beat me in that.

The idea is activating all my defensive buffing spells, including [Draconic Barrier] and [Sanctuary] with more mana than it normally would require. The last spell is critical to this plan.

Find an area with a ton of trees, cast the buff spells I need, activate [Draconic Barrier], and then create a platform with [Terra Wall]. The result of this is a performance stage with a dome to protect me. Put on some music with [Aerokinesis] and the show can begin~

"So, you weren't excited about helping me but instead, were more excited about the prospect of having an impromptu Idol concert for monsters?", was what Saori commented after I finished my explanation.

I had to respond, How rude! This idea came to me when I organized my plan to help you, Saori.

Hmph, anyway, so after having Saori learn [Stealth], [Silent Casting] and [Presence Killer], we executed the operation.

I sang as best as I could to make this plan succeed on my end. I was a bit nervous about actually doing this, but I figured this isn't anything like a real concert. It was only a performance before monsters. Compared to humans, they are neither the audience I want to cater to nor do they really know if I was good or not, in the first place.

Despite constructing a believable concert stage, I knew that this was more or less the same old training I always did since I started out as a trainee. I knew that but it was hard to actually start performing.

My legs shivered, my hands were sweating, and I was even having trouble getting my voice to work properly. It would have been even more disastrous, were my parallel minds not the ones in charge of using [Aerokinesis] to reproduce the music.

Saori was nervous, but I was having a mental breakdown over hereon a fake concert stage. Its embarrassing to think back on that

I eventually did it, but I only sang. I wouldn't say I'm bad with dancing, but I'm also not confident in it. Not a bit

Inevitably, this meant that my performance resembled a western concert more than the eastern, South Korean, ones.

I sang Western pop and rock songs, in addition to a few anime ones. I chose them cause the powerful lyrics and music were what I needed to keep myself in the game.

Well, enough about that. The operation started out a bit shaky with Saori not being able to kill monsters fast enough. It even got to the point where I was nearly overrun from monsters, forcing me to stop singing to use a [Draconic Roar] to scare them off. It made me self-conscious of how harmless my humanized form looks, to a monster.

However, with a few more tries, Saori seemed to have gotten the hang of it. Not only her skills but her own abilities were improving rapidly from all of this.

She stopped being sulky, but that also meant that she reverted back to her normal self. Shes motivated so whatever. I was just glad that shes feeling better.

.

Dont fear the cold

My flames burn bright

Seek, now, my voice

As if, Ill let you freeze!

.

Stay close to me

Listen to my voice

To fight against the cold,

Till morning arrives.

.

Unfortunately, this led to a tiny problem.

Lets call it a day, Saori. Phew, Im tired. I dont sweat much, due to my own high initial body temperature, but I still did the wipe sweat from forehead gesture.

[Thank you for your hard work, Hestia. Your voice was angelic as always.]

Flattery doesnt faze me. I said without being able to hold back a smile. I guess you leveled up, again, Saori? The number of monsters today was pretty high. How is your SP?

[Yes, most of the monsters were only F and E rank today, but it was enough for one level. I currently have 2450 SP. Now that I have [Humanize], I was thinking of spending them all for a [Humanize Lv. 5] or [Humanize Lv. 6].]

Besides upgrading skills and acquiring the capacity and enforcement skills, she also used her SP on getting [Humanize]for 700 SP.

Now, I dont want to seem like a control freak here; this is her skill set, after all. However, I cant just allow her to upgrade that skill, wasting precious SP, even if she truly wishes to return to a human form!

Also, to note, Im not jealous that her [Humanized] cost 300 SP less than mine. Absolutely not!

Wait, you can upgrade [Humanize] by just using it. There is no need to use SP for that. I interjected.

[I was just joking, Hestia. I have already planned to acquire [Space-Time Magic] or [Wind Magic] for the agility improvement spells, but Im also on the fence to follow your example of fully upgrading the abnormal status resistance skills. Ill just buy the base skill first.]

I see. Well, that is good to hear. NowI have to askcan I fight tomorrow?

[We have talked about this already. I will leave you all the C ranks, but I cannot have you endanger yourself needlessly with all the trash monsters that roam this forest. I shall dispatch them all, before you can even notice, Hestia. Nothing will hurt my precious, little princess on my watch!]

Now here lies the problem. This whole weekI haven't fought nor killed a single monster!

I think Saori has finally gotten addicted to the taste of freshly acquired experience. I know this cause I went through this phase myself, and, boy, was it a great time.

As much as I can relate to her, this is not a fun time for me. Even if I wanted to do something against it, I cant! Using [Shadow Dash] and her superior detection skills, not only can she detect enemies earlier than me, but she can get to them in the time I need to register the information.

No matter how fast I can process information, it is worthless if I cant get the information first.

Not only that, she seems to grow even more efficient the more time we spend with this plan, and it seems like even her usual nervous faade during fights, has done a complete flip. One moment shes this sweet woman who can make some, mwah, fantastic consomms, but when it comes to fighting, she acts like a cold, focused and efficient killer and its intimidating!

This huge personality shift made me ponder if it was a mistake to turn her into this. Shes showing some scary amount of affinity for this kinda stuff.

Saori, Ive told you this already, but I need to have some kinda fight. Compared to you, I cant survive without having a good fight, once in a while, due to my [Battle Frenzy] being a constant annoyance for me.

[Do not worry.] She once again ignored my complaint. [When that C rank monster appears, I will make sure that you can enjoy the battle to your heart's content."]

It still surprises me how garms can be so expressive, her emotions are clearly written on her face. Dont make that proud face! I want to fight too!

[Has [Battle Frenzy] appeared yet?]

N-Neinbut thats not the point. I can feel the urge that drives me to look for a fight slowly rising. Its unfair that youre the only one that gets to fight!

Im not lying. The urge to fight and this aggressiveness, swirling inside me, on the verge to break out and explode in a lust for battle! The patience that was required when I was in that cave, so I wouldnt attract the orc, was miraculous. Its, honestly, nail-biting.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

[Now, now, there is no need for a tantrum ] She began patting my head. Once she evolved into a [Young Darkness Garm], she became the size of a tiger, equaling my current humanize forms height. [See? You calm done quite fast from just a few head pats. I wonder, do you like them?]

My face felt hot, as I unconsciously agreed to Saoris question. Im a 15-year-old who is treated like some random kid.

She chuckled sweetly. [Pouting only makes you look cuter, Hestia.]

Skill requirement fulfilled. [Wind Magic Efficiency] gained

Ability gained: [Spark Inferno Blast]

With the corpse cleaning also finished, I worked over to Saori to thank her again for her help.

[The timing was the problem but otherwise, that was a good cast. Thanks.] It was my honest evaluation.

[Yes, we do need to fight together more often, Hestia. Anyways, may I ask how you are feeling, after that battle?]

[Revitalized and happy. It was a great fight and I was happy that I could finally use some of the poison I made, soare you mad? Why are you mad?]

A chill ran through my spine, my instincts warning me of an impending doom. I checked my skills, but none of them were responding.

[Mad?] Somekinda aura was surrounding Saori, as she smiled at me in her garm form. [I could not possibly feel angered at all when my adorable, little princess is enjoying her win. I feel fulfilled that you are satisfied, but I do admit that I am quite irritated that one of my ears is currently deaf.]

Deaf? Is she mad about that? I can cure her ears with [Moderate Heal]. How did she become deafoh boy!

The roar. The freakishly loud roar!

Oh, nein

[OMG, Im sorry! I forgot that youre sensitive to sounds. Im really sorry! I didnt that on purpose]

[I accept your apology, Hestia, but I believe we cannot fight together like this when you are not willing to watch out for friendly fire. We are a party, and we must be able to cooperate well. I believe we need to talk, Hestia Atsuko-chan]

H-Her face seems to be smiling but I can see the shadows over her eyes. What is this pressure; why am I sweating cold sweat and why are spectral horns growing behind her head?!

[Uhh, help?]

After curing her deafness and listening to her lecture, I learned that she gained [Terror Aura Lv. 2] instantly.

*******************

While Hestia was enjoying an intensive scolding, a certain god was pondering the result of the fight he just spectated.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Kargryxmor, the God of Dragons, the one who plotted to escort Hestia to dragon territory for her own safety with the aid of these, now, deceased wyverns.

No, no. This is inconceivable! Why did she slay all three of them?! Why did she even engage in combat with them, at all?!

"My lord, I believe I may have an answer to your questions."

The one who spoke was one of the many "angels" that Kargryxmor personally chose to aid him in his task of fulfilling his duty. These "angels" are actually spirits of dragons, that have lived during the time Kagryxmor was still a mortal, who ascended with him to his divine realm.

You may speak. The god of dragons commanded.

Yes, thank you. Considering that you have given this whelp a portion of your power, she must share your blood. You were legendary back then for your constant thirst for battle, so I believe this trait of yours has been inherited.

You do not mean she was under the effects of [Battle Frenzy] now would you? Indignant at what he heard, Kargrymors mood worsened, prompting the angel to soothe him before he began speaking again.

Unfortunately, that might have been the reason, my lord. She clearly challenged them to battle with her roar.

Impudent! His anger returned for a second but quickly vanished, resuming calmness. I seem to have made a mistake by sending young wyverns to escort her back. You are dismissed. Your advice was helpful.

By your will.

With the angel returning back to its duties, the god of Dragons had to reevaluate his plan.

She has grown strong. It also surprised me how she was able to construct those curious instruments with her [Aerokinesis]. Was she able to retain her memories? No, that is impossible. I am sure that the process of her reincarnation should have erased most of her memories, keeping enough for her to gain the [Otherworldly Reincarnator] title.

Enough contemplating. thought the dragon god.

I shall now send older and more experience wyverns with the [Telepathy] ability, so they may communicate with her. That should ease introductions and should be able to prevent any escalation into a battle.

Once again, Kargryxmor made himself active, undeterred of how his plan will be affected by the flows of fate once again.

A note from AbyssRaven

Hestia is at it again, causing problems and creating biological weaponry.

Her song for this time was inspired by the melody of "Edge of the Dawn(Season of Warfare)", the main and opening theme of the video game "Fire Emblem: Three Houses". Link: Rawr

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
