Chapter 122

With that, Zero, while clapping her hands together, asked Moses,

「Oh, right, by the way, my cherished skill, Future Arithmetic, was given to me because of my brain with a standard deviation value of over 70…」

「Yes, because the abilities from your previous life affect your skills.」

「What about your cherished skill ‘Parasitism’?」

Moses thought for a moment, and while blushing, and said,

「Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it?」

「Huh? What do you mean」

「I said… it’s obvious, isn’t it?」

「Huh? What are you talking about?」

「I mean—because… I was a NEET!」

At that moment, Zero froze, dumbfounded.

「Moses-nii-san…?」

With cheeks flushed red, Moses pressed his finger against the frame of his glasses.

「What is it?」

「Why is your occupational aptitude a sage?」

「…Because I was a virgin until I was thirty?」

Then Zero doubled over, clutching her stomach, unable to stop laughing.

Seeming to be stuck in a fit of laughter, she couldn’t do anything.

「Oh, Moses-nii-san… I didn’t expect you to be that hardcore.」

「After all, I was literally reborn in a different world. I was a NEET and a virgin in my previous life… So what?」

Upon hearing this, Zero stood up and cracked her shoulders.

「Well, that’s true too.」

She said, nodding.

「I currently possess stats that are among the strongest in humanity, and I lead the reincarnators… I am now truly a formidable individual.」

「Well, your status is much higher than that of the Secretary-General of the World Federation.」

「Yes, I’m no longer the man who used to shut himself in his room all the time, but rather someone who was reborn in another world, lives freely, and is a kind of achiever.」

With that, Zero pondered various things and then nodded emphatically.

「We’re pure psychopaths at heart. I don’t understand much about that kind of world, but anyway, there’s one thing I think.」

「Yes, what is it?」

「Thank you for being a bastard. Or perhaps, there are many who, in the same situation as you, have sided with Lute McLane, aren’t there?」

「That’s up to each individual’s choice.」

With that, Zero wrapped her arms around Moses’ back, lightly embraced him, and kissed his cheek.

「W-what are you doing?」

「Aren’t you saving your first kiss for Cordelia-chan?」

「…」

「Well, anyway… Thanks for being a bastard. That’s why we’re having so much fun, right?」

「However, I find it offensive to be called a bastard. I simply follow my conscience and live as I please.」

「Yes, that’s fine. That’s what makes you a lovable bastard.」

With that, the two grinned grotesquely, and shook hands firmly with their right hands.
