Chapter 413 Executioner Gobuo
We left Lily at home and went to the garden of the mansion. I also took the Sacred Stone from the warehouse to check Gobuos status.
Alright. Then, lets actually use the magic. Haru, Gobuo, are you ready?
Yes!
Gobu!
They answered almost at the same time, nice. When applying Executioner, the user and the target have to be in sync with each other. I had a hard time with this at that time, but it seems that it wont be a problem for them. Also, I dont need to worry about Harus MP.
Here I go! Executioner!
With Doggan Staff in her hand, Haru pointed it at Gobuo and chanted the magic. I cant hide my discomfort in front of the rare scene where the Doggan Staff is used as a staff. Even more, since the one using it is Haru.
Go, bu
The ground beneath Gobuos feet dyed black, and sticky mud crawled up from there. The mud, which is slowly trying to swallow Gobuo, looks a lot like the poison that Haru always uses in her magic (physical), but its a completely different thing. Despite its appearance, the mud is meant to bring Gobuo to a higher level. Its by no means harmful.
Its taking a long time, huh. Is it really okay?
The mud has been enveloping him for several minutes now. The mud is constantly wriggling, and Gobuos voice cant be heard from inside. It seems that even Haru began to get a little worried.
Its not instant. It takes time, of course. But well, I guess its about time.
Ah, youre right! The mud is turning watery and melting!
The mud peeled off and fall from Gobuos head. Now, if the magic is successful, there should be Gobuo who has completed his growth in the mud. Depending on how his skills have grown, he may have evolved by leveling up his job.
O-Oooh!?
After the mud completely fell to the ground, it disappeared into the jet-black shadow. And the one standing in front of us is the New Gobuo. His red skin is still the same, and his appearance hasnt changed much. Instead, a black crest appeared on his skin.
Gobu. Gobu gobu?
Yes, youve evolved properly! It was a success! Yay!
Haru expressed her joy by stretching out her arms and legs with all her might. Since he was speaking in Gobunese, I could only guess what they were talking about. Well, I guess they were checking to see if he has grown properly. Yeah, if he has evolved, it means that his skill levels have grown considerably. This is promising.
Then, lets check Gobuos status right away. Take this Sacred Stone.
Thank you, Shish! Gobuo, can you show us your status?
Gobu gobu!
When Gobuo put his hand on the stone tablet, his status was displayed there. Lets see.

Wow, youve leveled up a lot! Good job, Gobuo!
Gobu!
Haru and Gobuo were excited when they saw the status. Well, its true that he has leveled up a lot, but something is wrong with the way hes growing. I try to remember his previous status. Hes certainly stronger than he was back then, but his Sword Arts and magic skill barely leveled up. Instead, his support skills have grown rapidly. All of them are the skills that grow by interacting with others. Why they have leveled up so much? It was a mystery for me, who cant even talk with Gobuo.
Thinking about what he has done so far ah, I see!
I traced my memory further and realized it. Ever since he came to our house, Gobuo has been involved in everything from housework, shopping, and managing other things. Just like Haru, he has been giving his all. That attitude didnt change even when we moved to Nells mansion. Rather, his involvement with the servants has only made him reach new heights. Like the journey the other day, in Damaya, Al Nova, and Dragon God Island, he took care of Lily with Touko in Harus absence, and he also engaged in various works. He crossed the boundaries of race and continued his guidance and companionship anytime, anywhere. If so, his growth is understandable. If he tries again in the battle direction from now on, he may be able to open up a new path. I have such expectations.
Setting that aside, the fact that his Art of Conversation skill has leveled up means that everyone understands his words.
One mystery is solved, and a new mystery is born. If hes that good, why I cant understand his words?
Shish, whats wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?
No, I was just thinking about something. Dont worry about it. More importantly, we have to think about Gobuos future. He will join Harus training and train his Sword Arts and magic, which have the most room to grow. I think its interesting to have him fight Haru. Gobuo will fight with his sword and magic, and Haru will fight barehanded with restrictions. Its preferable to be taught by Nell, an expert in sword and fire, but
Thats right! Chinatsu-chan was growing rapidly on the verge of death!
Gobu.
Gobuo unusually made a reluctant face. I wonder if he hates learning under Nell that much. I dont understand Gobunese, so I have no way to confirm it.
No, shes in the process of sharpening her mind in the basement in preparation for the battle against Maria. I dont want to disturb her as much as possible. I mean, Ill die. Ill die in the explosion. Everyone, please be careful.
I-I will try my best
Well, it just means that the opponent this time is so strong that Nell has to go that far. By the way, Haru, have you decided what you want Gobuo to learn for his not set skill slot?
Err, actually, Im not sure. Since all skills are related to the job hero, the range is too wide even if I narrow it down to combat-related skills~. Ah, thats right! Shish, is there any rare skill that can only be acquired by a hero?
I dont know any special skill for a hero ah, wait, I think Ive read about it in some literature a long time ago. Hmm, Dual Sword Wielding, was it?
The information was somewhat dubious, so I only skimmed through it. But I remember reading something like that when I was studying about skills not long after I arrived in this world. It was only for a hero, and it didnt appear in my skill acquisition list, so I couldnt confirm it.
Dual Sword Wielding! Thats cool!
Gobu gobu gobu, gobu goobu gobuu gobu!
O-Oh, Im glad that you like it. Somehow Gobuo was talking in a long sentence, but what did he say?
He said that he found the Dual Sword Wielding skill in the menu, so he chose it right away. Now it will broaden your tactics, Gobuo!
Gobuu!
It was an unfamiliar skill, so I hoped he was hesitant a little.
