In short, all of them except the first one are troublesome.

Unfortunately, the first one is usually the least likely.

If Orpheus were just an ordinary newbie, she might only be able to accept this kind of thing.

However───

Ouroboros is the name of the Orpheus race, which is also one of the pure-blooded dragons, the pinnacle of mythical beasts. It has connotations and concepts such as immortality, infinity, reincarnation, and perfection. Ouroboros has appeared in many mythologies, among which the most famous is Jormungandr, which surrounds the world.

Therefore, as a genuine pure-blooded dragon, such a cheat code is unnecessary for her.

After all, even the original version of her could become the second strongest in the world. Even if she can't be better now, she shouldn't be worse.

Under such circumstances, there is no reason to take on an additional, inexplicable burden.

The problem is that once this thing comes, it's really hard to get rid of; if you're not careful, you might die unexpectedly.

and……

Orpheus astutely noticed something.

"The vocabulary I can understand... does that mean you, the one who said this, know me very well?"

Orpheus is not human, but a rare pure-blooded dragon species. In a race where one might not encounter another of their kind for millions of years, their synchronization in terms of values, knowledge, and thought patterns is far inferior to that of humans.

Even humans, a social species that learns from and influences each other, can develop so many different kinds of thinking and values, so one can imagine how different the thoughts of dragons are.

Therefore, it is meaningless to approach this newly born Orpheus from a human perspective, nor is it possible to approach it from the perspective of the dragon race.

In such a situation, the fact that she can still utter words that she "understands" indicates that the other party must have done some form of research on her.

Taking into account the origin of the term 'golden finger'...

"Sister Golden Finger, do you know about 'it'?"

Orpheus made his judgment.

Or rather, she hoped so.

After all, if...

【'It'? That's an interesting nickname... The nickname 'Golden Finger Sister' is also quite amusing.】

The voice inside seemed quite interested.

Well… I wouldn't say I understand it, but I can roughly deduce what kind of knowledge 'it' possesses… Don't worry, I can't read your mind; mental abilities aren't my forte.

"..."

In the current situation, it's useless for Orpheus to disbelieve it.

"So, what exactly is that 'it'..."

In an attempt to obtain more information, Orpheus asked again.

If she was transformed from 'it' in some form...

Theoretically speaking, this is not a pleasant thing, since the memories have been erased.

Moreover, this inner being could very well be the mastermind behind it all.

Despite thinking this, Orpheus couldn't really feel that angry about it.

She is a dragon now, and doesn't really care about the situation of that 'it' as a human.

More than anything, it was curiosity.

And, a wariness that the other party might easily alter an existing memory.

However, before he could finish speaking, an inner voice interrupted Orpheus's question.

【No comment~~ Or perhaps this isn't a very important question for you, and even if you did get it, you'd just categorize it as completely unimportant information and throw it aside?】

Before Orpheus could react, the other party continued to speak.

[Just know that you are not 'it,' nor are you the cute dragon within 'it's' knowledge. You are simply the Orpheus you are now, nothing more. By the way, your memory problems were indeed my doing; all those extraneous memories were completely meaningless. But don't worry, I only changed your memories as 'it.' I can't touch your memories as Orpheus; after all, the levels are completely different.]

At this moment, Orpheus felt that she should be angry because her memories had been manipulated, but for the same reason as before, she couldn't really be emotionally affected, and she had more important things to care about now.

"Golden Finger Sister, is there really no way to see into my heart?"

Finally, Orpheus couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm... it's understandable that you would think that way, but not a single word I said is a lie."

The voice inside seemed to answer indifferently.

However, even if the memories are erased, 'its' personality has indeed become part of your soul, and your own personality is far too naive...

Many people believe that memory is what carries personality, but in reality, the soul also accounts for a considerable proportion.

For a specific example, you can refer to Naruto, who said, "Konoha has tormented me a thousand times, yet I still love Konoha like my first love."

If Sasuke were to be swapped, Konoha would probably be torn apart a dozen more times.

In short...

"As expected... Sister Golden Finger knows that 'it' very well."

As soon as the question was asked, Orpheus clearly sensed a momentary dip in the other person's emotional state...

This isn't entirely accurate, but let's assume it's true.

Unlike the previous lighthearted response, this reply seemed to carry a deeper emotion.

Intuitively, Orpheus did not delve into the matter further.

"They still haven't said... what abilities does the Golden Finger Sister have?"

Changing the subject, Orpheus asked directly.

In her heart, there was always a feeling that 'this existence is worth believing in' flowing through her mind...

Of course, she didn't believe it outright, but she wasn't as resistant as before either.

Anyway, what features it has is one thing, whether she wants to use it or not is another matter entirely...

[Oh! Finally getting to the point!? Don't be shocked when I tell you about my abilities~~]

"..."

Orpheus fell silent for a moment.

In her view, the capabilities of such things are, at best, limited.

It's nothing more than a fire sale of the Four Swords of Jade Dynasty, random summoning of Yakumo-no-Mae, free verification of European/African bloodlines, the ability to change the race system at will, and at the very least, the ability to let someone control the origin of time and space at will...

Although I can only roughly guess what you're thinking, I can tell you very clearly...

The voice in my mind appeared again.

[Those abilities you're thinking of, we probably won't have any of them~~]

After a half-second pause, the voice suddenly burst out again.

[Hahahaha, how about it? Want to hit someone? Are you holding back a "mmp" that you can't say? Do you really want to throw me out? I just want to see you try to bite me but can't! After all, I never said I was the system type, hahahahaha...]

Orpheus's enormous serpent head tilted to one side.

...To be honest, she never had any expectations for this thing, so there was no question of being disappointed.

However, this inexplicable individual's behavior was really too neurotic...

Besides... the other party has already described the possible reactions themselves, what else can she do?

No, if it were someone else, they would probably just say it outright...

───MDZZ

At last……

So, are all the questions about those "golden fingers" (cheat codes) just the author padding the word count?

Orpheus continued to ponder in silence.

Chapter 3 The Road Ahead and Prayers

The mental patient, tentatively named "Golden Finger," laughed for a long time...

Even Orpheus, whose worldview completely disregards time, felt that she had been laughing for a little too long.

However, she did not interrupt.

I have a feeling that what she said before was just an excuse.

This maniacal laughter seemed more like an outlet for some kind of venting...

--- It seems this is a cheat code with a story behind it.

However, Orpheus did not investigate these matters... or rather, she did not want to know.

Perhaps it's her nature, but she's always too lazy to care about things that seem unrelated to her and too complicated.

It's more accurate to say that even if something is related to her, she might not care.

Rather than bothering with all this nonsense, she prefers to stay quietly and think... or rather, to live a life of contemplation.

She seems more suited to being a salted fish than a dragon.

However, even the most cheerful woman with the golden touch couldn't keep laughing forever. When Orpheus finally started to get annoyed by the constant noise, she finally stopped.

Although I don't have any particularly amazing abilities, I do have some skills.

"What's it for?"

Although Orpheus wasn't particularly interested, he still devoted some of his attention to talking to the cheat code.

I believe I can help you become stronger without taking any detours... I mean, I possess a vast amount of experience and knowledge that you could never acquire without spending countless years accumulating it.

"Um……?"

This time, Orpheus finally reacted.

Originally, she didn't have a high pursuit of strength. After all, in her opinion, she would just stay in this dimensional gap for the rest of her life and wouldn't cause any trouble.

However, things changed after learning a little about the possible future.
