"What about the other two... Rock and Rex? You could have Fana try first and decide."
"No, do all three at once."
Rock shot Rex a glance, then answered.
Guess I'll give it a try then.
Of course, all I can do is reverse things.
[Reverse]— let me try reversing their three dud skills!
Then, checking their skills with [Divine Eye]:
Rock...[Peerless Sword]
Rex...[Grand Tamer]
Fana...[Bewitching Dancer]
That's what they became.
All of them were powerful

skills, you could say.
An ordinary person might well reach the end of their lifespan before ever obtaining skills like these.
"What happened?"
Fana asked anxiously.
"It worked. Rock got [Sword King], Rex got [Grand Tamer], and Fana got [Enchanting Dancer]."
Since Reverse doesn't really have any flashy effects when activated, it's pretty understated. From an outside perspective, you can't even tell it was activated.

Next up is getting out of this country.
Using [Space-Time Magic] "Telepathy" to contact Saint Therese over in the Raging Kingdom.
The Raging Kingdom's church had settled down, but the Saint was already buried under backbreaking work, so I felt a little guilty reaching out.
*"Hello, Therese? Do you have a moment?"*
*"Oh, there's a voice in my head... Alan, is it? That's fine. What's up?"*
*"Well, there are some kids over in the Meigrant Kingdom who've been treated pretty badly... There are three of them, around ten years old. Would you be able to look after them?"*
*"Ten years old, treated badly in Meigrant... Don't tell me, the rejects... No, never mind. We'll take them in."*
*"Thank you. I'll send over an offering to the Saint as thanks. Let me know if it's not enough."*
*"I'd look after them even without a donation, you know..."*
*"I don't like working for free myself, and it doesn't feel right making others work for nothing either."*
*"Fine, fine. I heard once you make up your mind, there's no talking you out of it..."*
*"Then I'll send them over via Transport in about an hour. Is that okay?"*
*"Sure."*
That concluded the telepathic conversation.

"Saint Therese of the Raging Kingdom said she'll take care of them. Alright, pack up your things."
"Thanks, Alan." "...Thanks." "Thank you, big brother."
"Make sure you listen to what Saint Therese says when you're over there."
The reason I decided to leave things to Saint Therese was that I didn't want the three of them going astray just because they'd obtained powerful skills.
After all, if anyone could properly educate them, it would be Saint Therese.
If even that didn't work, I was prepared to personally seal their skills.
And so, the three of them came to live as ordinary otherworlders (on the slightly strong side) in the Raging Kingdom.
It would probably be best if they never remembered anything about their previous lives.

Sophia: "Here is the donation entrusted to me by my senior. Please accept it."
Therese: "Sophia, you're a great help. ...Wait — thirty million gold coins!? No one told me about this!"
Sophia: "He said if it wasn't enough, he'd send more."
Therese: "It's not that it isn't enough — it's too much! What on earth is Alan's sense of money..."
Sophia: "Well, he is my senior, after all."
Therese: "...You're right. He is Alan, after all."
