My Glasses Will Be Able to Conquer the Whole World, I Suppose

nsumes a lot of magical power.

I can only maintain it for about five seconds.
If I were to use it in an actual battle, my limit would probably be two or three seconds though.

It’s a Gift that one needs to be careful with when they’ll use it.

I feel very tired after using this one, so it’s better to avoid using it unless it’s strictly necessary.

It can be used as an emergency avoid tool at least, but I feel like using it like that would basically guarantee my defeat, as I’d be way too tired after doing that.

Perhaps I should try thinking more about how to use it instead of when to use it.

******

I put on my Glasses and decided to check all the Gifts that I have registered, including the new ones.

In the meantime, I kept on stroking the cat.

Physical Reinforcement; Speed Reinforcement; Enhanced Hearing;

Sight Enhancement; Olfactory Enhancement; Hit Correction;

Flower Bolt; Life Absorption; Blue Map;

Spirit Possession; Shadow Hunter Sword; One Point;

Red Hot; Funny Fake; Sound Bomb;

Dark Bellows; Medical Vision; Appraisal Eye; Hawk’s Farsight;

Sword Specialization; Quick Edge; Tree Wind;

Full Impact; Shadow Hunter Warrior; Anomalous Ogre;

Fast Boots; Demon Beast Tamer; Float and Mist.

… And those are all.

The number has increased, but plenty of the Gifts are hard to use.

I tried many of them out over the past two months.

First things first, my biggest concern, properly drawing out the power of Full Impact, was resolved without incident.

To put it simply, it was a matter of directing the impact.

When one activates that Gift without properly specifying the direction or scale of the impact, the effect spreads itself out as a sphere surrounding the object.

As in, my arrows were even sending out impact towards their back.

It would have been much more effective if the impact was focused entirely on what was ahead of the arrow, but it was instead wasting impact power above, below and behind the arrow.

The Gift was weak because the impact was dispersed.

The book I read did say that one could add impact to a blow with their own hands, and perhaps I would have been able to notice this problem immediately if I tried it out like that.

But I had already wounded myself by using Flower Bolt on my own hands, so I decided to not try Full Impact on myself.

Had I used it on my own hands, I would have surely harmed myself with Full Impact, even if it would have also helped me immediately figure out that the impact was spreading out around me.

But as I didn’t do that, I instead had to keep on shooting arrows, and carefully observed them, trying to understand the problem.

After quite a while doing that, I figured it out once I noticed that the grass and leaves around the arrow were swaying as it flew.

It took a while, but I think this was a wonderful experience.

Now I have no more problems with this Gift and am able to concentrate my shot into a single point and produce a large impact.
My tools have been increased by one.

However, just like how I had seen during the hunt of the Obsidian Wolf, the sound of the impact is loud.

I don’t think I can use this ability in public.
I would immediately be found out if I did.

That said, Shadow Hunter is a much easier Gift to use.

It’s possible to suppress the luminescence of the Shadow Hunter gift, so I’m able to use it in public without any worries.

I have two Shadow Hunter gifts available to me.
Lisse’s Shadow Hunter Sword, and Horun’s Shadow Hunter Warrior.

Lisse’s Gift further enhances a specific type of weapon, her swords.

Horun’s Gift isn’t focused on any weapon in particular.
It’s not as strong as Lisse’s when it comes to swords, but it’s stronger than Lisse’s when used with other weapons.

Therefore, I use Horun’s Gift.

… It feels strange to rely on my sister’s strength, but I should make use of anything that is available to me… I still feel troubled about it though.

And then there are some Gifts that can only be used with specific weapons, like the Sword Specialization that I got from the knight old man.
It’s completely worthless for me, even if it must be great for someone who uses Swords.

… I’m getting sleepy.

Guess I should be saying goodbye to this cat for a while… Though I may never come back to this village.

I wanted to enjoy the fur of the cat a bit more, but it would be bad if I didn’t sleep properly before tomorrow came.

Tomorrow, I will travel again.

I was told we wouldn’t be traveling for long, but if I got sick during the trip, I would trouble everyone.
Lack of sleep will not be tolerated.

“… Will we meet again?” I asked the cat.

It was still sleeping though, so it gave me no reply.

But that’s fine.
I like it like this.

So, I took off my Glasses, and decided to go sleep…

******

I was planning on going to sleep.

I can’t quite explain what I was feeling at the time.

Perhaps I was just a bit sleepy, or maybe I just wanted to play a bit with the cat that I’ve grown fond of.

There was no reason in particular behind my actions.

But somehow, I wanted to do it.

Without thinking much about it, I put the Glasses that I was wearing on the head of the sleeping cat.

The size didn’t fit.

The cat’s head was bigger than mine.

The glasses were basically hanging on top of the cat’s big nose…

And then, the lens shone.

I was so startled that I almost raised my voice, but I ended up reflexively covering my mouth and stood up quickly.

My sleepiness instantly flew away.

It was shining.

It feels like it was a long time ago that this last happened.
Back in that night when Cherry got in a carriage accident.

Since then, the glasses hadn’t glowed again, so I forgot about it, but… It did happen before, didn’t it?

I couldn’t really test much about the glowing by myself, so I put it off for later, and ended up forgetting about it in its entirety.

… But well… Is this how it feels when my glasses start shining?

It’s not that I feel uncomfortable with it, but it’s more like I don’t want anybody else to ever see this phenomenon.

If someone sees it, they’ll surely understand that there are some secrets in these glasses.

And well, this is also plain dazzling.

Because the lights had been turned out, my eyes were used to the completely dark room.

The light of my glasses isn’t that strong, but it’s not kind to my eyes that already accustomed themselves to the darkness.

… Hold on.

While squinting my eyes, I tried looking at the shining lens.
I feel like something is being reflected on them.

What is it…? Are they…?

Letters? Floating letters?

Oh, right.
I can do this.

I created new glasses and blackened their lenses, so that I could see even while looking at the sun.

I never had any use for this ability, so I had forgotten about it too.

With this, the shining light shouldn’t be troublesome anymore.

Now let’s see what’s written… Eh?

“… Sand Walk?” I muttered.

… Could this be… The cat’s Gift?
