Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

"N-no, sister. I trust you since then until now. But I need time to think about this. For now, let's go back to your problem first."

"Yeah, let's talk about that first. So, how you would prolong Mary's life?"

I set aside my interrogation for a while and went back to my sister's problem before the flow of the conversation got derailed. Sister's happiness and joy takes first.

"Like I said before, I will use my Unique Skill Bestow to prolong her life, but it takes great effort and time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Bestow allows me to bestow a skill of mine to object or people, right?"

"Yeah. Ah! So great effort and time means you need to acquire that skill first?"

"Exactly. That's why I need to slay indefinite amount of monsters and to level up. After I levelled up to Level 1000, I will evolve into a High Human and obtain the Longevity Skill."

"Then, all you have to do is to bestow it to her."

"That's right. And that's why it takes tremendous amount of effort and time to achieve."

The method that I will do to prolong the life of her future concubine was to evolve into a High Human and acquired its Racial Skill Longevity.

"Does your Bestow skill have side effects?"

"No. It does not have any side effect. But it had limited usage. While it can enchant weapons and items many times based on its materials, it can be used only trice on living beings. The orichalcum bracelet you're wearing right now was a product of Bestow."

She stared at the golden bracelet in her left wrist and caressed it. It was enchanted with Wrap spell, Ownership and Disguise. With Disguise hiding its effects, it looks like an ordinary plain bracelet even with Appraisal Skill.

Unique Skill Bestow can enchant objects many times depends on the quality of its materials. I once attempted to make a exploding paper bomb just like in anime. I successfully enchanted it with Level 5 Fire Magic: Fire Bomb. But when I enchanted it with other spell, the paper suddenly shredded into tiny pieces.

"Have you tested it on living beings?"

"I have, and I confirmed that it obtained the skill via Analysis and saw it using the skill."

"Is this Analysis one of your secrets, too?"

"… Yeah, something like that."

"Looks like we have a long talk later."

"Haha."

My tongue slipped again and it rose her desire of having a talk with me. I made a dry laugh as I feel the guilt of having a secret or two behind my family.

I bestowed a skill on a monster before while experimenting my new skills. I captured a goblin as my guinea pig for my experiment. I used Bestow and give it Regeneration skill. Used Analysis at the goblin and confirmed that it received my blessings.

As a clinical trial, I captured two more goblins and do some physical tests. I scratched a thin layer of their skin and it instantly healed. I sliced it deeper and it completely healed in a matter of seconds.

For their contribution to my research, I released them back to the wild. This is how veterinarians in discovery channels do after they test a wild animal.

Months later after that, high-ranking adventurers in the city warned other adventurers about a new variety of Goblin Lords that can regenerate like Trolls. I just averted my eyes on the issue and pretended that I had nothing to do with it.

(I guess I need to be more mindful when releasing pets.)

I don't want to be like those irresponsible pet owners that throws their pets if they had no use of it. But it's too late, I am one of them now.

Releasing pets anywhere can affect the environment and caused the change in ecosystem afterwards. Like in my past life hometown, the local waters in our country were slowly infested by invasive species.

The invasive species was said to be brought from abroad and made pets by pet owners. After getting bored of it or cannot take care of it anymore, they released their pets to our local waters. The released pets will repopulate in the area and slowly damaging the local ecosystem. Until the locals were getting irritated by it and called them pests.

(From pets to pests.)

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Hmm? Ahh, nothing."

As I was lost in thought of the effects of releasing those bestowed goblins, sister's words snapped me back to reality.

"You just need to Level Up and evolve right? Then, slay monsters and level up faster for me."

"Do you really think it is an easy feat? Even our mothers slew uncountable powerful monsters for many years just to reach Level 1000, you know?"

"I know. But if it's you, our parent's child, I know you can achieve it shorter than them."

"I will do my best for my family's happiness."

I can actually level up faster than the average with my blessings. My body gained additional stats and I can use it to slay more powerful opponents to get more EXP.

"You didn't offered this solution for free, right?"

She asked that question with a dubious look on her face. I put both my elbows on the metallic chair and do a shrewd merchant pose.

"Well, I want you to owe a favor from me."

"I knew it. I had suspected you when you offered that suggestion. You are rather clever for a thirteen year old kid."

"I wanted you to do something for my own good in the future."

"But what and when will that be? Is it my body you want? Maybe you just wanted to use with my body and do the things that you can't do with mom?" she said while wrapping her arms around her body.

"I never said that! And why would I do something like that to my own sister?!"

"Because I looked like mom?"

"Why mom had something to do with it?!"

"Hah? I thought you had a mother complex?"

"Ack!"

Our exchanges got heated and the tense atmosphere of the gazebo lightened a bit. I raised my voice as I refuted her impure thoughts. Well, I had to admit that I had a mother complex because mom was my preferred type of woman in my past life. Sister's appearance greatly resembles mom.

Silky long straight black hair, porcelain-white skin, perfect body shape, thicc thighs, blessed bosoms, and bewitching beauty. One of the differences was that sister had toner muscles due to her physical training.

With my mental age, I sometimes fantasized them in my mind just because they were my type. Mother wasn't inferior to them and I also did the same. We are bonded by blood, so I have to stop my mind from thinking those impure thoughts and fulfill my role as a member of this family.

"Hmph. Whatever it is, I will repay this owed favor to you in the future."

"Thank you for your understanding."

I bobbed my head as I was thanking my sister. With this, the issue about my sister and Mary had been settled. Now, I have to prepare myself and face my own issue.

"Now that's my problem already settled, how about let's have a talk about yourself."

"About that, can we discuss it later? I want to reveal my secrets to you in private. And I think I need some time of what I have to tell you."

"I don't mind. But that later should be in this day, not tomorrow or the day after that."

"Yes. I'll take that in mind."

All I have to do is to just obey of whatever she said. I don't have much experience with women of my age in my previous life until now. This must be the reason why I am so obedient and had absolute devotion to my mothers and sister.

In our household, there were hierarchy within our family. Our mothers at the pinnacle, then my sister and me at the last. Even if I become the head of our household, it will not change because I already devoted my life to them.

Despite being absolutely devoted to them, I am still hiding my deepest secrets behind their backs. I planned to reveal them my secrets one day but I let my guard down and made a mistake and got caught by my sister.

"When do you think you can have a conversation with me?"

"I think this night."

"Then come to my room tonight."

"But a man in a maiden's room… "

"We're siblings so it's gonna be okay."

"If you say so… "

After I told what time I am ready, my sister suddenly invited me to her room tonight. She said it's fine but I still have doubts in my mind. It's not that we will do something indecent, all we have to do is talk.

Sister stood up from her chair and walked towards my left side. She bent her upper body and whispered something in my left ear.

"I'll be waiting for you tonight."

I can feel her breath brushing my ears as she whispered those words. She stood straight again and walked away the gazebo.

"Sigh."

I let out long sign when her presence disappeared in my sight. I stood up from my seat and followed her behind.
