Kanae and Shinobu could feel the new found power coursing throughout their whole being.
They can now sense the once hidden natural essence in the surroundings.
Information about the said blessings they just received was directly sent into their brains which almost made the two of them faint due to the surging pain brought by the rush of information and out of shock to the blessings they've gained.
"This power, I've expected a gods blessing to be amazing but it seems that I've underestimate it."
Shinobu has a genuine smile on her face as she looks at Kai.
"Thank you, lord Kai; ah no, Kai." – Shinobu said.
"No problem." – Kai replied.
Kai gave her a simple nod in response as his attention quickly shifted to Kanae.
He was surprised by what she received.
[Absolute Severance]
It damages the target via the severing of space, overwhelming them with both magical and physical phenomena.
[Future Attack Prediction]
Allows the user to see from a series of outcomes what is going to happen. (The results that have been calculated have a 100% chance of occurring).
Shinobu's…
[Nightmare Venom]
Generate an extremely deadly toxin that cannot be cured with normal means.
The toxin damages not only the target's physical body, but their spiritual and astral bodies as well.
The poison also allows the user to torture the soul of the target without killing them or turning them into a vegetable.
[Poison Alchemy]
Enhances the potency of poisons created by Shinobu hundreds of times.
Shinobu can also create poison and antidote from the surrounding natural essence so long as she understands the structure of the desired creation.
Shinobu's analysis and comprehension speed on things related to poison has been enhanced greatly.
…
I should give Kanae 'Sage' to help her manage the 'Future Attack Prediction' also to make sure her growth wouldn't stagnate.
I am planning on bringing her on my future journeys after they were done dealing with the threat of Muzan and the other demons.
Though I hope she accepts me.
As for Shinobu I should give her…
'Rafael I need your suggestion.'
[What is it?] – She asked.
'Think of a good skill to be given to Shinobu.'
[I suggest you give her the; Extra Skill: Blood Control.]
'Why blood control?' – I asked curious.
[It has the effect of increasing the metabolism of the target and cell decomposition it fitted perfectly to her way of fighting.]
Oh what a terrifying ability for a mere Extra Skill.
Still it's only good against biological creatures, against magical creatures such abilities are useless.
'Thank you for your advice, partner.'
[No worries.]
I can tell she's happy to be of help to me.

…
I was surprised I didn't think that the skill I've directly granted them will be integrated.
[The blessing skills and resistance are apart of the sub-skill's effect while the skills you personally gave is a part of the Unique Skill: True Hope's main function.]
'That's interesting.'
[Even after you remove your blessing they will still retain the integrated skills they received from you.]
'Is their a limit to the number of skills they can receive from me?'
[It depends on the power of their soul as not all people have a unique astral and spiritual body like you that is able to take the burden that your soul was supposed to carry.]
'Well about that we should thank our Goddess Of Karma for that.'
[You certainly should the next time you meet.]
'Yep, I know that.'
[Kanae cannot take any more skill the same goes for Shinobu.]
'Is this permanent?'
I was worried that their growth was limited.
[No, just like you they just need to strengthen their souls.]
So, it's like that.
'I get it but isn't their soul so weak to only able to carry a single extra skill.'
[Have you forgotten the blessings.]
The blessings?
'Eh, I thought the blessing isn't integrated with them.'
[I did not say they cannot be integrated.]
'Stop with the mind games will you.'
My hands are itching to punish someone.
[Sorry.]
'So, your telling me that they now held genuine Unique Skills.'
I can't deny I'm speechless.
[That's right.]
'So, what's the requirement for them to make the Unique Skills their own.'
I asked Rafael, my curiosity is getting the better of me. Surely the fact that the skill had glued on their souls isn't a simple matter.
They should be able to make that power their own, right.
[They need to at least reach D Grade in proficiency.]
'That's a long way to go.'
The difference between a power you own and something you borrowed is like heaven and earth.
I hope they can master those skills fast for them to grow stronger and faster.
…
'By the way can I copy the blessings they received from me, I don't have absolute severance, nightmare venom and poison alchemy.'
I already thought things through the moment I got those skills.
[You can but it isn't really much of a use to you.]
She's right on that matter but she hadn't accounted the fact that she can literally evolved skills and abilities.
I've notice it since the moment we become partners Rafael is a PRESENT type entity she doesn't see things in the FUTURE she took actions based on what's in front and disregarded things that doesn't affect the current.
I suspected this FLAW is a way for the laws of existence to balance her overpowered versatility. Unlike the original Rafael that Rimuru have who plans everything in advance.
'Its ok the more skills I have in my arsenal the better.'
I didn't bother correcting her knowing full well that the moment she evolved further such limitations will be gone and she'll become a near omniscient existence.
[Are you trying to become a master of none?]
'Nope, probably.'
I just replied Flatly.

…
"You two as of now should have enough power to compete with either Muzan or the upper moon one. However, killing them is another matter entirely."
I said to the two sisters.
"Do you have any suggestions, Kai." Shinobu asked.
"I suggest you two master the skills you received from me that way you'll have a greater chance of winning. Either, way it will be a long time before the demon slayer corps face Muzan or get a wind of his shadow. Moreover, the protagonist of this world is still too young so you two have all the time to improve and master the blessings.
"Protagonist as in those leading characters in the stories."
Kanae was the one who asked enthusiastically.
"Yep, those. Each world choses it's own protagonist…" I extended my index finger and a white beam of light was shot straight onto the two sisters heads.
They were startled but after the information settled they calmed down.
"You know, Kai. You better inform us first before doing something like that."
Shinobu grumpily said to me which I just responded with a shrug.
"So this boy is the fated protagonist who's going to end Muzan's reign of terror. His sister become a demon but she was able to fight back the urge to eat humans, amazing." – Kanae's eyes were literally sparkling.
"That's a chosen protagonist for you." – I added.
"I should really change my views on demons as most of them are victims." – Shinobu muttered.
"To think Kanao avenges me and Shinobu. Truly, fate is an irony. And that boar mask kid. He was able to avenge his mother." – Kanae murmured in a low voice.
"I better treat Giyu better from now on." – Shinobu muttered.
Looking at her I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
She's out of my league now. She has set her eyes on Giyu.
What a pity.
*Sigh*
Then I will be sticking to persuing Kanae.
It made me dejected that I can't have both sisters but I don't want to force myself onto someone and it's better this way.
I will probably try seducing another pair of sisters in a different reality.
What I give them is information about the possible events in the future.
Information that came from the manga I've read before.
I just hope they wouldn't go changing the timeline too much.
The cat is already out of the bag no matter what they'll do with the information I gave them is not on me anymore and it's all up to the two of them how would they make used of it.
"I bid farewell." – I said out of nowhere surprising the sisters.
"Your already leaving?" – Kanae asked, the sadness in her voice is apparent.
"Yep, my young disciple is waiting for me." – I replied.
"Oh, you have a disciple. She must be strong, right. To be a disciple of a god." – Shinobu sounded surprised.
"Yep, she's strong but not that much different to you two and she didn't know I'm a god, also we're the same age."
"Eh, you haven't told her that you're a god." – Kanae.
"You must know I just figured it out that I am a god myself today." – I replied shrugging the back of my head.
"…"
"…"
They were speechless.
"You're joking right?" – Shinobu.
I shook my head denying Shinobu.
"…"
"…"
"For a god to not know his one. You must be an idiot." – Kanae joked.
Thousands of imaginary arrows struck my poor heart.
"Hey, I'm a young god you know. I am only Five years old for GODS sake."
"…"
"…"
"Right we forgot."
The two said in unison.
"I'll be going now Kanae-nee and Shinobu-nee. See you two next time I visit hope you defeat Muzan." – I said giving them a genuine smile.
"Well surely defeat him." – Kanae replied enthusiastically.
"Right we will end him, don't worry." – Shinobu replied in the same enthusiastic manner as Kanae. Something out of her character.
"Well, good luck, make sure you guys survive. Or I'll dragged you back to the living. And you Kanae-nee next time we meet I promise to make you my woman." – I declared in an embarrassed, shy yet serious expression which shocked the two sisters but before any of them could respond to my confession I snapped my fingers and sent the two of them back to the destroyed red light district.
