The Mysterious Sisters

The two part timers are mysterious.

After the interview, I understood that after I looked into them.

The elder sister, her daily DP income is 0!?

That fact was like a thunderclap.

Daily DP income is something like a measure of strength, but even the average C-Rank would be around 50-70 DP. In particular, if they know skills, itll tend to be higher.

And thats why her 0 DP is something Ive only seen for people who are connected to dungeons like me, Rokuko, and Haku-san or people who have no combat ability at all, like how Meat was when I first picked her up.

However, Im thinking that it might be something like the effect of a concealment skill that I dont know about.

The younger sister, Nayuta, is 85 DP a day Around the same level as Gozoh. She said she was an alchemist, so she probably knows various skills. By the way, Ichika jumped from around 60 DP to 75 DP when she learned those skills.

Wow, I didnt notice at all. As expected of Kehma, you focus on different things~

Dont look away from stuff like this, oi.

B-but theres no need to look at individual DP though right?

Its a good way to measure an intruders strength, see?

Uuu, I got it! Ill pay attention next time.

Even so the younger sister has a DP? Hmmm.

I dont understand why the other ones giving 0 DP, but vigilance towards them is essential. Particularly towards the elder sister.

Hey, Kehma. Maybe you could find something out if you transform into Setsuna?

Hoh. Lets give it a shot then, [Super Transformation].

The best way to learn about your opponent is to become them. Thus, I used [Super Transformation] to become the elder sister of the two part timersSetsuna.

Oh, her chest is heavy. Profoundly so.

And theres always this sense of incongruity in my lower half when I transform into a woman but it doesnt feel like that this time nn?

Its there!? No, what? Its there!!

U-uh? The heck? Whats going on? A cross dresser? No, these breasts are real

!?

When I checked it out, there are both a mans thing and a womans thing.

What?

Whats going on? No, right

A hermaphrodite?

Even her sex is half and half. Im kind of wanting to believe this is just a flaw from [Super Transformation] However, its probably better to think of this as reality and really real after taking a close look at the person herself and using [Super Transformation].

Perhaps are hermaphrodites common in this world?

No, umm I wonder? Its probably unusual?

The men and women Ive met so far are definitely either one or the other, but Ive never gone so far as to verify whats between their legs. Rather, I wouldve thought that Setsuna was also a woman if I hadnt checked like this. Even in her bloomers, there wasnt a bulge.

You wouldnt normally check, right?

Rokuko is definitely a woman. The only one I know that for certain is just Rokuko!?

Its alright, Meat, Ichika, Rei, and the others dont have anything growing there.

A-ah. Thanks?

Umm, youre welcome?

I ended up hearing information that I both did and didnt want to hear.

For now, lets summarize what I know about Setsuna.

Appears to understand Japanese

0 DP per day. Is she someone related to a dungeon, or does she have an unknown skill?

Is a hermaphrodite.

That is all.

And now their identities are becoming even more mysterious.

I dont even know if theyre truly sisters. Rather, its fine if theyre sisters? Well, its alright. Even those Uzoh Muzoh brothers are brothers despite not being related by blood. The elder sisters a hermaphrodite, but its probably still alright?

Still though, whats their goal here? Even after transforming, I still have no clue.

I gave the transformation a shot after Rokuko recommended it, but it only changes my form into them. It doesnt give me their memories I dont know if it would after raising its level though.

What should I do now?

Lets wait and see for now.

Yep, the usual Japanese way of maintaining the status quo. Put off troubling problems. If the problem resolves itself in time, its best to not meddle with it.

What? The problem might get worse, you say? Do your best, future me.

Hmm, well. Just watch them for now. They may take advantage of the interview and make a move.

Kay~. Im the one who hired them, so Ill take responsibility!

I dont know how she planned on taking responsibility, but for now, I decided to go to sleep after cancelling the transformation.

I returned to my room, laid down, and invoked Sleepsword Siesta!

I fell asleep within ten seconds.

I was concerned about it, so I decided to visit the mysterious sisters directly. Together with Meat as my bodyguard. Nayuta, the younger sister, was sitting at the reception desk right then. As for the problem elder sisterah, according to the map, looks like shes sleeping in her room.

When I went to Nayuta, she bowed and greeted me Looks like she was reading a book. Shes working, but she was using it to pass the time since there werent any guests.

Yo, hows it going?

Nothing noteworthy. Good as usual.

Oh? What were you reading?

A collection of upper class magic formations. See?

With that, Nayuta opened up the book and showed me.

A collection of magic formations was like how a book of poems would have a collection of poems inside it. There was just a single magic formation on the two-page spread Time stop subspace, huh. Hmm. Its effect looks similar to [Storage]s. About half of its missing though.

Hmm. Theres no commentary or notes on it?

Oh? Village Chief-san, are you interested in magic formations?

No, Nerune loves stuff like this though. Shed be happy if she could read it.

Ah, I already lent Nerune-san the elementary and middle class ones I had on me. [1]

In that case, Im thankful. The range of our strategies is expanding more and more.

By the way, elementary class magic formations appear to be simple to analyze, with the middle class ones having commentary on their uses for when theyre invoked. For the upper class magic formations, it just has what was discovered written without what they do.

What does this magic formation do?

Im not sure, but I can guess from looking at the magic characters this is [Time], this is [Advance], this is [Separate] so I believe it is for a doppelganger or something.

Hmm? Really now?

The characters that Nayuta pointed out were respectively [Time], [Stop], and [Subspace]. She was wrong about them, but theres no reason for me to point it out.

However, there are times when the characters written down are nonsensical in order to keep the effects secret. This character here, the one that looks like [Advance], it might actually mean the opposite because of the piece that is missing. The part that distinguishes between the two is missing, so I cant tell.

Ah, so its something like that? Translation Function-san, you even supplement the missing pieces? You are amazing.

That so? Sounds difficult.

Thats how it goes. To continue, there are hints to conjecture at what the missing pieces in this magic formation are on other pages, so if you apply enough of them, it can explain more parts and

She let me go thirty minutes later.

That was a long talk. Moreover, she lent me an introductory primer on alchemy, but yeah to actually read it and become an alchemist and shave away my sleeping time even more? Dont wanna.

Nayuta is an unexpectedly aggressive narrator. The meaning of her name appears to be [A Super Large Unit of Time] and thats definitely reflected in how long she talks. [2]

Setsunas appears to mean [A Very Short Unit of Time], does that mean she talks fast?

With that, I came across Setsuna, who shouldve been asleep in her room, in the hallway.

Ah, Village Chief-san? Morning~. Its the afternoon though~

Ah, morning. Its not a problem if you just woke up.

She was walking down the hallway in her gym clothes. Her thighs are tempting in various ways. My eyes kept trying to look at her crotch, but I managed to avoid it somehow. Itd be bad if she caught me looking

Thats right! Hey Village Chief-san, are you free? We havent had a mock fight yet. Youre the last one.

Why? wait, the last one?

Ive been asking adventurers that are C-Rank and up in the village for mock fights. Ive won all of them too. I asked Gozoh-san too, but Village Chief-san and the others are only C-Rank at this dungeon right? Want to fight?

Why not have one with Me with Kuro? You did it the other day right?

Im fine with having another go since shes strong, but I already fought Kuro-senpai. I want to complete this place!

Right, so rather than being a quick talker, shes quick to use her fists?

I glanced at Meat. Looks like she lost, but she also looks motivated.

I also kind of want to try something out.

What to do?

Footnotes:

Im not sure why, but the author here uses elementary class rather than bottom class or low classthe only two ranks below middle classas he described back in Chapter 6. Return

Its not stated whether or not Nayuta herself said the meaning of her name or if Keima is inferring it through Japanese, so I worded it like this. Note that her name means Ridiculously Large Unit in Japanese, like 10^60.
