63-Episode 61: Goddess has a meeting



True, let's get today's meeting started.

 The next thing I knew, Noah-sama was right in front of me.
 I was training until about two o'clock, but I guess I fell asleep before I knew it, me.

 For some reason, Noah-sama wasn't wearing his usual dress.
 She was wearing a tight black skirt and a white shirt.
 And he's wearing glasses as well.
 Is she wearing a schoolgirl's style?

'Good gracious, Master Noah. What's going on with your outfit?
We're going to overthrow the world together! She seems like a smart girl, right?
 Quickly, I lift my glasses.
 When I look at him.

(It just looks like cosplay, doesn't it?)

'Excuse me, well, that's fine. You remember what our policy is, don't you?
''Eliminate the threat of the Great Demon King. In parallel, reduce the faithfulness of the Holy God tribe, right?

 The goddess writes on a whiteboard floating in the air. 
 Bang! And the goddess tapped the whiteboard.

'Come on! What are we going to do now? The truth.
 Goddess, you're in a groove.

"Find a strong mate, sir?
 I don't think I can do anything about the world system by myself. 

That's a good answer. So who exactly do you want to be your allies?
Hmm, like Sakurai-kun. Is it the brave men?
 But they're not going to be able to join up with them because of the strong influence of the Holy God Race.

''It's not bad. It's just that the brave guys are powerful in terms of strength, but their influence on the world is limited.
But you can't just steadily convert them to Master Noah one by one, can you?
'Yes! So my target is these guys!
 Master Noah wrote on the whiteboard.

''A ... miko, eh?''
You're one of two priestesses who have met the truth.
 'Princess Noel and Princess Sophia,' it says.

'No, no, no, no, no, it's definitely not going to happen.
 Princess Noel is Sakurai-kun's fiancée, and Princess Sophia hates me.
 I mean, I'm not good at it either.

'It's okay! The opposite of 'like' is indifferent. I can convert 'dislike' into 'like'!
It won't work out like that galaxy game.
 In Fujiyan's favorite bishojo games, the heroine who dislikes the main character at first falls in love with her in the middle of the game.

 But that's just the game.
 In my experience, once a girl hates you, she still hates you.

'Well, how about we sleep with Noel-chan?'
No, please.
 She's Sakurai-kun's girlfriend (fiancée), of all things, isn't she?
 There's no way I can do that.

''In the first place, wouldn't the holy goddess tribe be silent if you messed with a miko?
I know. However, on your continent, the influence of the Goddess Priestess is immense. You need to think about how to deal with them. At the very least, you don't want to act like you did before.
Okay.

 I nod disapprovingly 《Fushobushou》 nod.
 It's true, it's a problem when the princess of the country you live in hates you.

''Can I come here as well?''
Hmm. Say it, really.
 You don't have to squeak your glasses every time.

''I'm going to tell Fujiyan and the rest of the party what Noah-sama's purpose is and ask them to help me.
'Ummm, but you might not be able to help us, okay?
I'll give up then. No pressure.
Do you think he's going to tell his church?
They wouldn't do that.
 I get a little miffed and say it back.

"I'm just kidding. But you have to be careful who you talk to.
 Belief in an evil god is a bad thing to have.
I understand. Well, I'll be very careful and find someone I can trust.
'Well, let's start with someone close to you. I think it's a good idea.
 Master Noah has given his approval.
 Well, let's talk to Fujiyan, Lucy, and Sa-san.

"By the way, Master Noah. When would you like to take on the Underwater Temple?
 I will save the goddess trapped in the undersea temple.
 That's one of my goals.
 I haven't forgotten about it.
 But the Goddess just scratched her head as if she was troubled and said, "The Undersea Temple is a divine beast kept by the sea god Neptus, Leviathan.

The Undersea Temple is guarded by Leviathan, the divine beast kept by the sea god Neptus.
I've heard of it.
 Mythology and all that.

''The divine beast Leviathan is stronger than the Great Demon King if he's fighting in the sea.
...What?
A demon king who ruled the earth a thousand years ago, and a monster who's been master of the seas for millions of years? There's no comparison.
 Even if you say so, the Adventurer's Guild didn't say anything like that in their information.
 ''Stronger than the Great Demon King [Lasbos], that's a back boss....

''First of all, we'll take care of the Great Demon Lord.
That would be wise.
 'Yeah, yeah,' said Master Noah, crossing his arms and nodding.

'Well, I guess that's about it for today.'
Bye.
 I looked away from Noah-sama, who waved his hand in a flutter.

 Noah-sama, you looked like you were having fun.


 ◇


Hmmm...

 This is the inner sanctum of the 'Cat's Ear Pavilion'.
 I explained about Noah-sama to Fujiyan.
 If he refuses here, it's the end of the line........

''Huh........''
 Fujiyan sighed loudly.
''You've chosen a tricky path...''
Uh-huh.
If there were three difficulty levels in a game, Mister Tuckey always chose 'hard'.
"'Easy' and 'normal' are naive,
'I don't think it needs to be the same policy in this world, but...'
 Yeah, I agree.
 But he chose to do it.

I'll help you as much as I can.
Thank you!
 Thank God! Seriously, thank God.
 Huh, and slumped back down.
 I was so nervous.
 Fujiyan chuckled.

"I'm a good friend of mine, aren't I, Mister Tucky?
No, not even close.
 This time, I asked him to do something very reckless. 


 After that, we were chatting for a while, when I suddenly remembered a promise. 

"By the way, I have a different story to tell you.
 Nina asked me to do something for her.
It's about Nina, and...
 Then I noticed Fujiyan's reluctant face.
 Huh? Did I miss something?

'No it's nothing to hide from Lord Tuckey, but...'
 Fujiyan said, as if she didn't want to say anything.
 I heard that Christiana has asked me to be her son-in-law!

Great, so now you're a nobleman.
 Ah, but Nina-san.........
''I haven't told Nina-dono yet........ Or rather, whether I should accept it in the first place.
You're in trouble.
Chris and Lord Nina don't get along.
Well, he's my rival in love.
That's not all of it, sir.

 I heard that the nobles of this continent have a low opinion of beastmen and elves and other sub-humans.
 I've heard that the Sun Country has the strongest tendency to do so.
 I've heard that not only in the water country, but also the nobility.
 And I heard that Nina's former master was a bad-tempered person and that she hates them.

You can't get along with them, of course.... But he likes Nina-san, right?
'That, of course. She was the first girl I hired when I started doing business in this world. She's worked hard all this time, and she's helped the store.
Cute bunny ears.
Well...
 You don't need to be embarrassed, now.

How do you feel about Chris?
 Why am I asking this question?
 But I couldn't imagine talking like this with Fujiyan in my previous world. It's fun.
 We didn't have any girlie tendencies at all.

And I've been consulting with him.
 After all, as a nobleman, he had doubts about going to the marriage that his parents had prepared for him.
 He said that Fujiyan used his 'mind-reading skills' to draw his trust out of him.
 At the time, he wanted to get close to the nobles in order to succeed as a merchant.
 We otherworldly people don't have any relatives, so it can't be helped.

So you found yourself in love with him.
He even broke off the engagement for me...
Oh, oh that's a lot of responsibility...
 Hmmm, it's a different world now.

''Well, this is my problem. We'll figure it out.
 Fujiyan gulped down the ale in gulps.
 Ummm, I'm an adult.
 As if to change the subject, he turns to me.

''May I ask one favor of you?
Oh, oh. Of course you can.
 I'm going to make you go along with the Messenger of the Evil One.
 I'm going to help you with everything, but can I help you?

'Didn't you get your freedom to do business in the Water Country (Roses) the other day? I'd like to do some new business there, and I'm looking for some good ideas.
Oh, yeah? 
 But I don't know if it's okay to ask a layman about such important things.

'It's good to ask a lot of people about these things.
Hmm, isn't this the cat-ear-related business that Fujiyan likes?
I've done it all. I'm the owner of this shop now.
What?
 What did you say? The owner of Nekomimi-Tei is Fujiwara?
 Unbeknownst to me, a friend of mine had bought out his favorite restaurant.

So, how about starting your favorite ramen shop, Fujiyan?
We have a contract with a ramen pig farm. It's time to bring out the flavor you deserve.
...which is awesome.
 No, I've long since started thinking about what I'm thinking about.

 Let's change the perspective here and explore it from my own specialty, water magic.

''Well, how about something like this?''
"...hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, oh my! Is that possible? It can be used!

 Apparently, it was an idea that I could use.
