In the end, Dido and Sirius DID in fact help wash and clothe me. But in the face of infinite power, and knowing I was going to be knocked out by the Grimoire for several hours.
I knew I couldn't spend two hours fucking the two maids in the shower as I very... Very sadly had responsibilities in the afternoon.
"Matsu, can you have Akitsu come watch over me for the next few hours while I am out?" I asked the tech-type sekirei who pouted but nodded, knowing she was going to be expected to be the face of our group in talking to Tabane for tech trading.
With that said, I looked over the Grimoire, which held a depiction of a sun and moon. With a sword, bow, and spear crossed over one another below the celestial phenomenon. "Whelp, time to roll the magical gatcha." I muttered.
I opened up the book and my gaze was filled with letters that I somehow could read despite not understanding the actual lettering/font at all.
And as I was... Literally mentally sucked into an odd story about a boy who chose the spear over a bow or sword. A light ping rang out in the back of my mind.
[Innate Skill is being downloaded. Do you wish to continue and absorb this skill?]
I made a mental affirmation and my vision was filled with the image of... Myself in some kind of fantasy outfit and carrying a large spear as I walked through a dark forest.
Even Gamer's Mind didn't 'protect' me from the illusions of seeing an alternate form of myself going on some odd adventure and killing some monsters with the spear.
Until after a good while, as my alternate self made a campfire and I was just sorta hovering across from him. He asked out loud. "Why is the spear the king of weapons?"
I was silent for a moment before I said slowly. "Reach... Armor penetration, and piercing through large bodies maybe?"
My alternate smiled before nodding and saying softly. "You got it in one. What is a spear if it cannot peirce. That's it's whole existence, and I hope you understand that."
And the illusion... Or maybe it wasn't quite an illusion faded away as I slowly came to with the Gamer Skill pinging me as I gained a new skill, obviously.
[Absolute Pierce- The user concentrates his magical power into an attack that attempts to pierce anything in its path. Conceptual enhancement scales with the user's total Wisdom and Strength score.]
For a moment, I was a bit stunned. As I expected, like Bell's Firebolt spell from Danmachi, since this was a Danmachi Grimoire.
But then I realized that A, I had what was essentially was a much better Falna which didn't have any magic spell limits or any nonsense like that. So getting a powerful skill instead of a fireball spell was better in the long run.
Blinking away any sleep from my mind as I saw Dido and Sirius had falling asleep leaning against the also napping form of Akitsu who was staring at me with her eyes closed.
I leaned over and grabbed a simple plastic ballpoint pen from the bed and infused it with the Absolute Pierce skill's effect.
The pen started to glow with a dark light almost as though it was infused with Haki from One Piece actually.
But then I read the item's description with my observe skill, which made my face twitch, and I had to bury a laugh that would have woken Akitsu, who was being a mother bear for the two maids.
[Blessed Pen- A completely ordinary normal pen. Might accidentally push through a table when writing with it. Also could be used to kill an entire bar's patrons before the blessing is used up.]
'Well if I ever need to clear out a mob filled bar or something. I know what to use.' I thought helplessly before I stretched and called out softly to Akitsu.
"Akitsu... Are you awake?"
Akitsu's form shook ever so slightly before she lazily opened her eyes and gave the two ship girls at her side a look. She looked at me and said in a blunt statement. "I adopted these two, apparently."
I cleared my throat and said helplessly. "More like they like how quiet and easygoing you are, so they latched onto you in turn to get closer to me."
Walking over to Akitsu I gave her a head pat which made her placid face turn into a soft smile as she nuzzled into my hand. Then refocusing on the two maids who were trying to pretend to sleep.
I said with a put upon sigh. "Well well. It seems I can't give them headpats and take them with us. Akitsu, I guess you need to put them into bed while we go talk with Tabane."
Both Shiprgirls SHOT to life, saluting with hands over their hearts as they said. "Please forgive our negligence, master!"
Soon my little trio of ducklings was following me into the meeting room where Tabane and Matsu were talking shop about some dimensional resonating stuff about this cursed universe.
"Jake... Did you NTR a couple of my maids away from me?" Tabane demanded of me as she noticed that while Akitsu had no shame in instantly slotting herself on my lap. Both Sirius and Dido were standing behind me. All but using their breasts to give me a head pillow as leaned into my chair.
I met Tabane's 'outraged' expression and said with zero shame. "Belfast sold them to me for a pot of beef stew and a molten chocolate cake. Get it right, they were sold! Not stolen!"
And even with how weird Tabane was, she was frozen at my instant rebuttal with Matsu cackling at my evil ways.
