DxD: THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Acquiring New Skills



The next morning, upon waking up at 9:11 a.m., having slept only 2 hours, Zaydas saw something in the bottom left corner of his retina.

[+41,904 AP!]

'Why does this make me feel like a prostitute who gets paid to sleep with women?'

Sitting on the bed, he pretended to toss his hair to the side with his hand, thinking: 'At least I'm a high-class prostitute~ If I converted these AP into money... it would be 4 billion yen.'

"Zzzz… Zzzz…"

Rurushi still seemed to be comfortably dreaming.

Smiling, Zaydas kissed her cheek, and she responded with a cute meow, almost making him laugh.

Pulling away, he got out of bed naked, heading toward the bathroom.

...

Minutes later, he returned, and Rurushi was still asleep. Grabbing the clothes and using a spell to clean and fold all the clothes with telekinesis, he placed them on the chair at his desk.

After dressing in loose brown pants and a white button-up shirt, he went to the kitchen to prepare something for Rurushi to eat when she woke up.

Leaving the room, passing through the hallway of the bedrooms and going down the stairs, in the entrance hall, there were two sofas—one with its back to the staircase on the left side and the other facing the front door. Passing by the sofas, he entered the living room.

Seeing the bathroom door open, he went and closed it.

In the living room, there was a large white wooden dining table with several chairs around it. Right behind the table were three large sofas—two white ones facing each other and the largest, in the middle, facing the television, which could accommodate up to 10 people, in brown color.

Behind the brown sofa was the kitchen door.

Previously, it wasn't divided by a door but rather open; however, he had enclosed it with glass. Even though it was still possible to see through, the smell no longer spread into the living room as before.

In the kitchen, he saw signs that something had been made while he was sleeping.

Everything had been cleaned, but a lingering smell remained in the air.

In the center of the kitchen stood a marble-topped table where the stovetop was. In front of the stove, there was a television. He grabbed the remote and turned it on, playing a music video while cooking.

Humming along with the music, he put on a white apron and started preparing a nutrient-rich soup, even using golden wine.

When he finished, he nodded, satisfied.

'If this were a cooking anime, wouldn't this be glowing right now?' he joked.

He could have teleported straight to the bedroom, but he wanted to at least make this small effort, walking to the room.

...

Rurushi did not expect that, the moment she woke up, she would be greeted with breakfast in bed.

"Ufufu." She chuckled a bit, happy. "It looks wonderful."

"I hope you like it." Zaydas said, placing the tray on her lap.

Smiling, Rurushi picked up the soup spoon and took a taste.

When the taste of the soup dominated her palate, her eyes widened in surprise as she placed a hand in front of her mouth, nodding and making noises with her nose.

After swallowing, she said, "Wow! This is sublime!"

"I'm glad you like it~" Zaydas smiled.

"Ara? Were you worried?" She laughed, saying, "Fufu, you don't need to worry, you're an excellent Chef."

"There are other things I'm also 'excellent' at, you know~" he teased.

"There you go again..." She blushed. His words brought back images of her acting as if she were someone else... She felt sexy, uninhibited, and incredibly naughty with him in bed.

However, now that all the sexual tension was gone, she became shy recalling everything they did...

...

Later, while Rurushi was taking a bath, Zaydas made a decision.

Partly, it was because of her. Or rather, because of the AP he gained thanks to her.

Spending 119,000 AP, Zaydas acquired 14 new skills.

Extra Skills:

[Thought Acceleration (Rank B+)], [Analytical Appraisal (Rank B+)], [Haki (Rank B)], [Shadow Motion (Rank B+)], [Explosive Flames (Rank A-)], [Body Double (Rank B)], [Spatial Storage (Rank B+)], [Steel Strength (Rank B+)], [Sticky-Steel Thread (Rank A-)], [Strengthen Body (Rank B)], [Black Thunder (Rank A-)].

Unique Skill:

[Degenerate (Rank A-)] (A similar version of Shizue's unique skill, Shapeshifter – When he tried to replicate it, he succeeded, but instead of becoming Shapeshifter, it became Degenerate).

Other Skills:

[Angel Wings (Rank B-)], [Blood Drain (Rank B)].

Initially, he intended to delay it a bit longer, but he decided that as soon as he went to the TSSDK dimension, he would open the tenth gate.

Precisely because there was a chance to improve the skills he had, he decided to spend his AP on useful skills he knew and could replicate.

By the way, he tried to use Angel Wings, and just like Tia, a pair of white feathered wings appeared on his back.

'If gifts are distributed when I open the tenth gate, I hope Asia gets Angel Wings. If not, I'll replicate them for her.'

The reason for this was simple. He wanted to make her happy. Does he need a better reason?

He got Angel Wings for himself without a real necessity since, although it slightly increased the quality of flight, it wasn't extreme. However, he had hope for future evolution.

As for Rurushi's vampire skill, Blood Drain... The reason he wanted this skill was simple: by drinking blood, he recovered vitality and magical strength.

'Just by possessing these skills now, I feel more powerful...'

Besides these skills, he also decided to use the card he had used to steal the Puppeteer's skill.

[Announcement. Do you wish to use the Puppeteer Card?]

'Yes.'

The instant he confirmed it, he felt a slight change as information about the skill began to become part of him.

"Zay?"

Looking up, he saw Rurushi come out of the bathroom wearing a pink robe while drying her silver hair.

Patting the spot next to him, Zaydas said, "Come here, let me dry your hair."

"There's no need." She said that, but she still went to the bed and sat down.

Taking the towel, he gently dried her hair.

The truth was that all of this could be resolved with magic, but some things have their own charm when done by hand.

After noon, Rurushi didn't want to sit around doing nothing and went out to help on the farm with the girls.

Zaydas gave her lighter tasks, such as helping collect eggs and feeding the chickens.

Meanwhile, he went to Mimosa (the cow he named) and milked her.

For now, he was the only one Mimosa allowed to milk her. Not to mention, her size made it difficult for anyone else to do it.

When he went to the fish hatchery... Zaydas discovered that Burida had already started laying eggs.

'So fast...'

However, on second thought, it was normal with her and Hiyokana's abilities.

Thinking about one of the elves' requests, Zaydas decided to expand the farm, creating a plantation to the east, behind the fish hatchery. And not only that, he thought of creating orchards in the center with golden grapes, golden bananas, and golden melons.

Although he says they are 'golden,' it's just the hope of a fool that something good will come of it. And although previous tests proved it's not quite like that, it still resulted in something superior to standard food. In other words, even if it doesn't achieve the goal of creating something like golden fruits, even if it's a variant with few benefits, it's still something good.

Honestly, he wanted to make a different kind of wine, if possible, a bit inferior to the golden wine. Something that could be enjoyed more often. That's why the vineyard with grapes was even larger. Even if it doesn't become something like the golden fruits, as long as it's delicious enough to be turned into wine, he's fine with that.

By the way, Hiraku also started producing his own wine made from grapes. But it's not something that's ready overnight; after all, he couldn't control the flow of time to let the wine age in such a short period...

Moreover, the elves were good at forging. Because of that, Zaydas was thinking of building a forging workshop.

"Here should be good..." He thought, creating the forge between his mansion and Hiraku's area.

A middle ground for both, in case the elves on Hiraku's side wanted to work in the forging workshop.

Instead of making a spacious wooden room, he built it with hardened earth using the All-Purpose Farming Tool hammer. Thanks to this, it was as hard as concrete, and by using Modeling, he managed to finish building it in a few minutes.
