Chapter 241
(241) Emerald turtle
Translator: Tseirp
There was a possibility that Fake Hero was a criminal job so I didn’t want to become that .
Having Opportunistic Thief as a criminal job was more than enough .
As for Cat-user, just thinking about it made me recall that doujinshi reader so it felt like a miss .
Whereas for Cat Maid, who would take a male cat maid!
In that case, does that mean Ghost Buster was the best?
Just as I was thinking that,
“Master, you are mistaken . Copycat are people who excel in imitating, and mimic thought processes, gestures or various other things desu . ”
Sheena No . 3 corrected me .
“It’s not a criminal job?”
“No desu . ”
I see … mimic various things huh …
Being able to imitate the way of thinking of others might be useful .
Miri would act this way, Daijiro-san would go that way ― I might be able to imitate such thoughts .
Oops, the five minutes is almost up .
I had to decide before it chose one automatically .
【The first Job has been set as Copycat】
All right, I’ll start fishing again .
I stored the dead shark in my item bag . I’ll disa.s.semble it later all at once .
I waited for 30 minutes . Then, I sensed a large catch again .
“HIT!”
The shadow of the fish was larger than the one before ― eh? It’s not the shadow of a fish?
It didn’t look like the shape of a fish no matter which angle I looked at it .
That was … no way ―
“A sea turtle?”
A huge sea turtle swam my way and attacked .
It was huge but only about the same size as the shark . It was not a sea turtle that was as large as those that are often depicted in fiction novels that it would be mistaken as an island .
However, there was something strange about the turtle’s back .
“Master, that is an Emerald Turtle desu . It’s back is made of emerald so it can be sold for a high price desu . You have good luck desu . ”
Good luck?
Ah, now that I think about it, I switched my jobs to those that had good luck . I guess that was why the Emerald Turtle appeared .
A harpoon would probably bounce off that sh.e.l.l and more importantly, I didn’t want to damage that beautiful sh.e.l.l so I pulled the turtle up .
I used the line strengthening skill .
According to the skill description, the skill would channel magical power through the line and raise the line’s strength by multiple to multiple dozen folds . My magical power would naturally cause it to be raised multiple dozen folds ― it probably won’t break so easily .
“Here I go!”
“Tonight’s dinner is turtle hotpot desu!”
“We’re not eating it!”
I refuted her and pulled the turtle up onto the deck .
“Pet.i.t Ice!”
And cast Ice Magic on it .
The turtle was completely frozen ― or rather, it was trapped within the ice .
I recalled that reptiles were not good with cold so I used Ice Magic .
“Have you killed it desu?”
Sheena No . 3 patted the ice with her hands as she asked .
You’re going to get frostbite ― I thought but I guess automata should be fine?
“No, it doesn’t seem like it will die immediately . It would be troublesome if it remains in this state of suspended life too … hmm, what should I do?”
I would not be able to store it inside the item bag while it was in a suspended state .
It would have been better to use Thunder Magic instead if this was going to be the case .
“I see desu ― Kyaaaaa my hand is stuck and I can’t peel it off desu . ”
“Sheesh, don’t pull . I’ll apply hot water . ”
I used the warm water inside a water canteen that I stored inside my item bag . Sigh, such a troublesome girl .
“My hand can come off now desu . ”
“That’s good ― oh, the ice where I poured warm water on has thinned quite a bit . ”
But, even so, I won’t be able to reach with a steel sword .
The steel sword I was using before was broken due to Sheena No . 3’s trap at the south island so I made the current sword I was using through blacksmithing .
For that reason, the strength of the sword was greater than before but the ice felt as hard as iron so cutting it with a sword was unrealistic . But there was nothing I couldn’t cut .
In that case ―
“Sword Creation . ”
I created a sword of light using the skill .
The amazing thing about Sword Creation was that I could freely alter its shape to a certain degree . As long as I limit myself to the shape of a sword . I can’t transform it into an axe or spear ― what about a bayonet then? I thought but it was impossible after all .
The normal form would be the long sword .
Or the short sword which was about half the length .
Then, the dual swords form which was made up of two short swords .
The b.a.s.t.a.r.d sword form which was far larger than the long sword .
And the rapier form which specialized in piercing .
I changed the sword into the rapier form and pierced where the ice had thinned .
The surface of the ice cracked and the sword pierced through the middle of the turtle’s forehead .
Three seconds later .
【Ichinojo leveled up】
【Copy Cat skill: 「Voice Imitation」acquired】
【Copy Cat skill: 「Fake Magic」acquired】
Copy Cat level rose to Lv7 .
I couldn’t tell if it was easy to level Copy Cat or that the Emerald Turtle gave a lot of experience .
Hn, both skills probably weren’t what I was aiming for .
Voice Imitation was a skill to imitate the voice of others .
Fake Magic was a skill which could register any spell that I see . However, the effect will be half of the regular spell but consume the same amount of MP .
It could not register the spells I have seen in the past so I could not use Miri’s 【a.s.sa.s.sin Marionette】 or the 【Grow Seed】 that I saw in Florence’s labyrinth .
Furthermore, I could only register ten spells .
But it was handy .
“Hn, I’ll test Voice Imitation out . ”
I tried clearing my throat once .
“Haurvatat is willing to fight for master with my life . ”
And tried imitating Haru’s voice .
Eh? Something felt different . Although my voice had definitely changed .
“That sounds exactly like dog ear-san desu . ”
“Exactly?”
“Yes desu ― I recorded it so I will play it back . ”
Playback?
『Haurvatat is willing to fight for master with my life』
Wow, she even has recording playback function .
I see . I heard that you would find that the recording of your own voice sounds like another person’s voice so I guess this was the opposite of that .
That was interesting .
“Master, what do you plan to do with this Emerald Turtle?”
“Let me see . For now, I will let the ice melt before storing it in my item bag . ”
I could exchange it for money at any time .
I was capable of dismantling it but it might be better to not dismantle such monsters poorly .
There were probably many collectors who wish to obtain it as a specimen .
“When shall I start preparation for the turtle hotpot desu?”
“I told you we aren’t eating it . Go eat the turtle-brand scourer there . ”
I said with a sigh .
Sheena No . 3 was excellent but talking to her for a long time was tiring .
I could understand why Pionia would complain about her .
Well, it was the same with Pionia and Neete too though, that I would feel tired after talking to them for a long time .
