The Existence Named Leona 1

My hands froze up.

Whys Leona here? Wasnt she staying inside the dungeon together with the Succubi?

I wasnt using [Super Transformation], so Id die if she killed me. Lets flip [Blackout Resistance] ON just in case.

Here is your C-Rank meal, its crowded right now, so please dont take too long in eating it.

Oh! This, this is it! Ive been wanting to eat some since I heard about it~

Todays C-Rank meal is some grilled ginger pork with rice instead of bread.

Rei placed the C-Rank meal in front of Leona, not taking notice of the sweat waterfall taking place in my mind.

So please dont take too long in eating ithuh, how formal. Also, help please?

I was begging for help in my mind, but she obviously wouldnt be able to hear it.

Rei wouldnt be able to due anything to Leona with her nonexistent offensive power anyway. Rather, she should escape while she can.

Ufufu, how many years has it been since Ive had rice? Did I eat it back when I was seventeen? Ooh, that wouldve been only recently then, wouldnt it? Tehee~

Is that joke about being seventeen your trademark or something?

Wait, I still havent actually met Leona directly. Theres a good chance that she just happened to come to the seat across me by chance, I can just slip away at some point. As for how Ill slip away, well, I dont know.

Well now, Golem-san.

Bugofu

Ah, do you prefer Keima-san?

Yep, she found me out. I understand that perfectly.

Itd be alright if she just used my name even without me telling her, Im the Village Chief. It wouldnt be hard to get my name and using perfect Japanese diction for it couldve just been happenchance. But Golem-san is an out.

Hahahaha please spare me my life.

Why are you suddenly asking this lovely young girl something so weird? Its alright, I just want to talk today[Isolation], [Camouflage], there we go. Alright, now itll just look like were having a fun little conversation to anyone else, so being blunts OK~

When Leona snapped her fingers, I couldnt hear any sounds coming from all of the people around us. It looks like she used some skill to produce a space that we can talk privately which also means that I cant call for help.

Umm

I came as a friend today, so dont worry about honorifics. Golem-sans way of talking would be good The next time you speak overly polite, Ill flick you in the forehead, alright?

Alright.

Leona smiled. Actually, I think grinned might be a better way to put it?

At any rate, her forehead flick sounds like it might cause my head to straight up vanish so being overly polite is hereby banned!

Oh, wondering about my skill? I guess we couldve moved to a room, but Im not some cheap woman that would let some strange man bring me to his room so easily~

Todays my treat! Everyone, feel free to eat and drink all you want!

I called out, but the people around us didnt pay me any attention and just kept on eating.

Yeah, no reaction at all. Alright, sure. Ill trust you.

Heeh, thats amusing. Its the first time I saw someone react like that, its usually please save me~ and stuff.

So, whats up? Rather, howd you know who I am?

Oh? Its hard to like men that are too hasty, you know? Well, I dont mind telling you.

Leona pointed to her red eyes and spoke.

I have [Super Appraisal] I can see your everything.

An appraisal-type skill. Id thought that shed have one, but seeing as how it has Super tacked on, its a Hero Skill?

Fufufu, isnt it a standard? I could see that that Golems name was Euma, and that it was manufactured by Keima-san. Also that youre older than the seventeen year old me.

I dont know if its a standard or not, but I dont have an appraisal-type skill.

Hoh? Then couldnt you transform into me with your [Super Transformation] for a taste of it?

So she even found out about my Hero skill huh [Super Appraisal] is a frightening skill.

I wonder if she could even see me as having [Occupation: Village Chief (Dungeon Master-cum-Hero)]?

But I dont recommend transforming into me, youd probably go mad and end up dying You have Lv 3 though, so maybe youll respawn?

Go mad? Wow. Why would that happen?

Youd also have my abilities, but you would get juuuuuust a little cursed. Im finerather, I guess its more like I become alright?because I have [Magic Absorption], but the curse will just flow over to you when you take on my form. [1]

Seriously? I didnt transform into Leona with [Super Transformation] like how I did with Setsuna because I had some information beforehand, but holy crap. That saved me.

Do you know what cursed you?

Do you keep track of how many grams of meat you eat every day? I sure dont. Its like that. Ufufu, just think of it like the whole worlds cursing me, isnt it thrilling?

So theres just too many sources?

So, how have you been, Golem-san?

Relaxed, Leona asked me a question like she was wanting to do some small talk.

Please call me Village Chief-san, not Golem-san right, I just recently started feeling like some lion was staring me dead in the eyes.

Well, it definitely must be a cute, everyday lion then. Ah, how about you call me [Leonan] then? Like a boyfriend, with affection and love.

Leonan, Im the type to use honorifics for lovers and juniors.

Then well just use our names, Keima-san.

Leona gulped down the rice while eating the grilled ginger pork.

Mmm! Rice really is the soul food of Japan! Why is it this world doesnt have any? I gave up after trying to make it didnt work out, even turning rocks into orichalcum was easier. Did you know that rice isnt even on the Lv 10 recipe list for [Super Alchemy]? Even though something like the Philosopher Stone was listed at Lv 1 Well, [Super Alchemy] itself is derived from the Philosophers Stone though.

Oooh, so youre a Japanese after all?

Oh? Youre one too, Keima-san? My eyes being red is because of my skill.

[Super Massage]? Or [Super Appraisal]?

So you heard about that from Setsuna? Neither, its a common [Magic Sight]-type skill. With it, I can even see things like the flow of magical power within a dungeons domain Haku-chan has it too, you kno? Haku-chans eyes were red to begin with though.

Wow, it looks like I just learned something good. She isnt planning on erasing me now, right?

You dont need to be so scared, Im just speaking so freely since its fun to speak with another Japanese So, how long has it been since you came here, Keima-san?

About one year.

Its been around five hundred for me, I think? I look younger than my age because I have eternal youth though. Oh dear, a woman shouldnt talk about her age, how inconsiderate of me.

What are you going off saying on your own now?

Im not interested in your age, so please dont worry.

Really really? Werent you a lolicon thats only interested in gachi loli? Ah, I was thinking that that information was a countermeasure for the Succubi, but you really fooled me! My evaluation of you got a super UP! [2]

I dont recall deceiving anyone, but it looks like she went and got deceived on her own. I dont know if my evaluation being improved is a good or bad thing though.

Should I ask you straight up then? Whats your goal?

My goal? Hmm, alright, Ill tell you.

With a complacent smile, Leona assumed an important air about her.

At that moment, the air around her felt like it literally turned black.

I want to become the [Final Boss].

Footnotes:

Im assuming by also have my abilities, shes meaning super, super reduced versions? Leona has mentioned the past two times she mentioned it that Keima would in fact be able to use her [Super XXX] abilities to some minor degree. Return

As a result of diving into 2ch for quite a long time, Ive discovered that [Gachi Loli = genuine lolis ONLY, no look-alikes, nothing else mixed in]. No one ever seems to explain it explicitly, though.
