Blessing from the Goddess and Transfer to Another World! ~No Thanks, I Don’t Need a Special Ability~

Need a Special Ability~, translation

Well, this took longer than I honestly expected.  Editing is a slower process than I expected it to be in the end.  I clearly underestimated the amount of effort involved.  There were a lot of minor details to get worked out to establish consistency going forward.  That being said,  it should be a tad bit quicker now as we work through the remainder of the backlog.  Enjoy!

[As I explained before, Sakura and I, together with everyone in the school, came from the country called j.a.pan. We were summoned here as heroes by the royal palace, but we were thrown out of royal capital because we didn’t have any gifts.]

As I start talking, Mio asked a question immediately.

[I heard summoned heroes usually have a gift. Why did Master not have it?]

[I will explain a little bit later, but it seems we don’t have a gift because we have special power(s).]
[Is that the miracle Jin-sama caused?]

It seems Maria is recognizing me as a G.o.d. If I don’t stop her, she will worship me as a G.o.d. Yeah, just stop calling it a miracle.

[It isn’t a miracle, but that is right. It was a reason why I can heal Maria and bought Mio, too.]

Let’s skip the detail about special power, I will explain it during the travel.

[Those people from royal palace only judge “Hero” from the gift alone. We were thrown out because we don’t have any gifts.]
[But Jin-sama, you said you were summoned together with others, why did your acquaintances not stop it?]

Hmm… Maria exactly notices that. How should I put it? Sakura is special case…

[Yeah, no one stopped it. In fact, we could feel hostility from their eyes, too.]

[Yeah, I also don’t doubt they were brainwashed or something, too. So we plan to leave this country quickly.]
[That is mean. Masters are escaping from this country.]

Mio murmurs something like that.

[Wait a second. An escape?]
[[Eh?]]

Sakura and Mio simultaneously raised their voices.

[Is that so? I thought you were fugitives…]

It seems Sakura and I have different perceptions.

[In our current condition, we don’t have any problem when pursuers came. We don’t have to be as sneaky as fugitives.]

Because living a life on the run is nerve-wracking and unpleasant.
If pursuers come, we have to defeat them. It is a valuable source of skill point.

[I have no intention of avoiding trouble, but I won’t forgive anyone who is hostile towards us and causes a problem. In short, “we won’t hold back”.]

[If not that bold, how could I go and buy a slaves?]

That’s right. It might be good to learn about it for now.

[Let’s confirm it. Did you two have a sense of belonging to this country? To be honest, our current situation is nothing short of being hostile towards this country.]

Maria reacts to my words.

[I don’t mind. I will be where Jin-sama is. My only acquaintance of this country is the village from my hometown, which sold children off to reduce the feeding of mouths. There is no deep emotion even if I reappear in front of them again.]

Her loyalty is still the same. Maria should be safe for now. What is it about Mio?

[I don’t think I belong here, either. Even the matter of mayonnaise is slightly bad. They branded me a criminal without hearing the details. Beside, my hometown is still j.a.pan, too.]

Mio still feels she belongs to j.a.pan. She gave a nostalgic smile and says,

[Originally, I was very sick, but I have a good memory here because my parent were really gentle. I was about to recover, but I died in the traffic accident…]

It seems she doesn’t mind if I fight against this country.

[Understood. Let’s move to the next topic.]
[[Yes.]]

Both of them answer cheerfully.

[We were driven out of royal capital because of my power… Since it is troublesome to explain, I’ll just call it “special power”.]

[I will explain after this. You can think it is a mysterious power that I have.]
[Jin-sama has something like that, after all.]

Maria isn’t the least bit surprised.

[We reached a nearby village with special power, and then we made preparations before traveling to this town.]

Mio asks another question.

[How did you make the money? Summoned people usually don’t have any money.]

[Did you defeat monster without any weapon?]

[Come to think of it… Why do you have special power but not any gifts?]

[Hmmm… The special power helps you with everything.]
[You could say that.]

With that line, it makes special power look really amazing. Well, it is understandable.

[And then we came to this town. Oh! Before arriving here, we exterminated a band of thieves named “Black Wolf” using the special power.]
[Master. There is a rumor about thieves’ extermination in the public.”

Oh, it seems those thieves were quite infamous for a lot of people.

[The income was quite good. An item box was there, too. Since Dora was caught there, I helped her, and we became companions.]
>

Dora raises her hand, but no one seems to hear her telepathy since I didn’t have contact with them yet.

[Dora-chan. I’m looking forward to working with you.]
[Please take care of me.]

Come to think of it, I forgot to introduce Dora, but introducing her without a detailed explanation about special power will be difficult. Let’s postpone it for now.

>
I told her with telepathy.

>

Uh, good girl, good girl.

[We decided to buy two slaves because we received a lot of bonuses from defeating those thieves and the treasure repurchase. The first purpose for the slaves was cooking because our cooking skills are a disaster…]

[20.5 million in gold.]

[1,000,000g is from thief’s extermination and 20,000,000g is probably from the repurchase.]

Maria’s intuition is sharp.

[That’s right. I sold the n.o.ble family’s heirloom for twice the normal price.]

[I don’t know. I don’t regret it because she was a jerk. I will retaliate if they attack. It doesn’t matter anyway because we are going to leave this town soon.]
[But you could be on the wanted list of adventurer guild…]

I’m completely hostile towards this country.

[I didn’t register as an adventurer after coming to this country, nor did I give my name to the adventurer’s guild. I used a false name to stay at this hotel.]

Er… My false names is Jean; Sakura is Stella; and Dora is Dona. It is easy to deceive when we use them in public.

[You are totally prepared. You really hate this country, after all.]
[Yeah, Sakura and I really hate this country, but don’t worry. We don’t hate you two. I don’t care about your origin.]

By the way, you aren’t a citizen anymore when you become a slave. Master’s intention has the highest priority over this, but… The hotel’s fee is still the same.

[Yes, thank you very much. But please don’t whip us when you are displeased just because we are former citizens.]

I don’t have that kind of cruel hobby. I’d rather humiliate than punish them. Other than rape, I’m a little happy to see them embarra.s.sed. That idea makes me feel good. [Spec: (゜д゜)]
Wait! What am I talking about?

[I have no intention to do that. I will do that to those who deserve it. It isn’t like I have a grudge against all people and want to annihilate everyone in this nation. I’m not the guy who has a hobby of tormenting my own people, either.]
[Understood. I’m happy I became Jin-sama’s slave.]

But it seems Maria will be pleased even if I hit her with a whip. For example, she will say, “I’m happy that you disciplined me” or something like that…

[You explained about your journey. Shouldn’t we talk about your special power soon?]
[I’ve been waiting!]

Mio particularly wants to hear about this.

[We have special powers instead of gifts. In short, it’s a cheat.]

I put it simply, at first.

[But Master, won’t a hero’s gift be a cheat, too?]
[Those kinds of things aren’t cheats when compared to this.]

I’ve confirmed all gifts, but none are more powerful than what I have. Those gifts are basically a single unique ability (two, in some cases) that strengthen the existing skill.
What I have ignores all the rules.

[First, I have four special powers. Even the least powerful amongst the four is more powerful than a gift. Isn’t that a cheat?]
[You are right. That alone is amazing enough.]

I still have three unconfirmed special powers, but I don’t tell them because it will make this conversation go out of control.

[I will explain them one by one.]

Which should I explain first? About the which has already played an active part during the trip? It’s necessary to explain the other special powers, too.

[The first ability is about information. I can see a lot of things normal people can’t see. A bird’s-eye-view map. Personal strength and technique. It can confirm the prices and characteristics of almost everything.]
[It is totally game-like.]

As expected, Mio knows it. She might have more knowledge about gaming than Sakura.

[Mio, do you know the details?]

[Consider all of that, you still have mayonnaise failure.]
[You promised not to talk about that again…]

I didn’t promise.
But I can’t say Mio is innocent with regards to the mayonnaise incident either.

Q: What kind of poison does mayonnaise have?
A: Mayonnaise has a toxicity in this world. It will happen when a large dose of it is consumed. The rule of this world is different from the original world.

Q: What do you mean by “different rule”?
A: What you did in the former world doesn’t mean it will have the same result in this world. For example, fire was made by combustion in the former world, but the rule of combustion couldn’t be applied to the fire element in this world.

In fact, this is considerably important information, isn’t it? I’m certain this is the world with magic. It shouldn’t have the same rule. Perhaps, gravitational acceleration and friction’s coefficient rule is completely different…
But it has a little difference

about mayonnaise. I have an impression as if there is some trap to prevent modern knowledge cheat.
Let’s get back to topic.

Maria raises her hand and asks the question.

[Er… What is the game?]

Well, Maria doesn’t know about that. Dora doesn’t know about it, but I don’t think she really cares, either.

[Oh~, sorry. It’s hard to explain because it is a concept not in this world. I think it will be good to know that concept because it could explain all special powers.]

[Eh… me?]

Mio is suddenly like a half-sleep earthworm (寝耳にミミズ/nemiminimimizu). My mistake. She suddenly becomes surprised (寝耳に水/nemiminimizu)

[Yes, I can’t waste master’s time for something like this.]

[Because we are slave companions, I will be in your care.]
[Oh, whatever. Sooner or later.]

I feel I catch a glimpse of the relationship between Maria and Mio somehow.

[Let’s return to topic. I found out Mio was reincarnated and Maria’s name and t.i.tle with this special power.]

Q : What is a t.i.tle?
A : The standpoint, way of life or great achievement of the t.i.tle owner. Some are easy to acquired just by having the a.s.sociated skill. Skill requirement is depend on each t.i.tle.

[The second special power allows me to give or take skill and status. Status is physical ability like power. Skill is special skill and talent. Gift is considered a skill, too.]

[One becomes weak. Ability still can be taken from the target if the monster core wasn’t extracted.]

I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s probably not wrong. Let’s confirm the damage by stone-throwing.

[It’s a nasty ability.]

I think so, too. It’s really effective, though.

[Oh! Master said a while ago that you were going to strengthen us. Are you going to use this power?]

[Is it okay? I have bad memories from the past… I might fail Master’s expectations…]

Maria is lost in thought. Let’s check Maria’s status. I’m worried about something.

Name: Maria

s.e.x : Female

Age : 12

Race : Beast man (Cat)

Skill :

t.i.tle : Hero of beast man, Jin’s slave.

. What is it? I’m interested. Let’s find out.

. Demerit skill that prevents skill acquisition. Skill at a level less than level will have no effect. It is impossible to learn or acquire new skill.

This is bad, no matter how I look at it. And it is level 10, too. Doesn’t that mean she can’t learn any skill? And she said she has bad memory.

[Don’t worry. Maria, You skill is sealed. You can’t acquire new skills because of that.]

[It’s because of this skill.]

Maria is pondering something.

[I’ve had a bad memory for a long time. Since my village isn’t big, I was tasked to do basic stuff, but they said I had no talent at all. That mystery is solved now…]

You can have LV1 skill even you have no talent, just by obtaining a single skill point.

[I will take skill for now. You will able to learn a skill after this.]
[Is it okay? Won’t it seal Jin-sama’s skill?]

This girl notices it as well, and she’s considerate, too.

[Don’t worry. I know about demerit skills. It just makes the skill become ineffective. I’m fine because most of the skills that turned off are race skills I can’t use.]

[So, I can take them without any problems.] 

I look at Maria’s eyes and say that. Her face looks like she is in a trance.

[Please take care of me. Everything I have belongs to Jin-sama. Please take it as you see fit.]

Uh, you don’t need to say that. Is this is some kind of experiment? Does that mean you want me to do as I like? But that expression. It is completely girl-like.
[Then, I will take it…]

I concentrate and take only her . I set it to OFF when I take it.

[Great, I can take it.]
[I feel as if my body is lighter somehow.]

For now, let’s confirm Maria’s skill. I’m not sure what will be left after I take off…

Name: Maria

s.e.x: Female

Age: 12

Race: Beast man (Neko)

Skill:
