Episode 59.



'Toy'!

　Activate the 'toys' on the vacuum cleaner, dustpan, broom and chitter, and create cleaning-specific dolls.

The vacuum cleaner is on the first floor, and the broom and duster are upstairs to collect the garbage. Half of the dustpan Zu is a damp wipe and the rest are dry wipes. I want you to wipe the floors and furniture thoroughly. Go!

　Following my orders, Dolls ran through the house. 'Toys,' a useful oddity.

Now what do I have on my face?
No, I'm not in luck.
Kerr.
"You will not see the filth.
'Right. Then why do you keep looking at me?

　I'm cleaning up for the next time I have time to talk about things from the chairman, Soji and the others, so I'm cleaning up for the next time the discussion takes place in this house... Black, White and Nia stare at me for a long time.

'There's something that's been bothering me.
What's bothering you?
'Hmm. I think I've told you before, but I don't sense any spiritual power from you at all. Nevertheless, you can use various "jutsu" without any problems. I've been discussing that with White and Nia. I've come to the conclusion that you possess an unknown power that is different from spiritual power.

　When I asked him about it, he said he had been observing me closely, considering the possibility that I possessed a miracle energy other than spiritual power.

I've always had a vague sense of your power. Since the last time I fought the shape-shifter, I've been able to sense your power even more strongly. I'm sure that Nia and I have also sensed it before.
Kakaaka.
I don't think I've ever had much time to waste.

　I'm not aware of this, but if that's how Kuro and the others feel about it, they may be using a different power than their spiritual power.
　It's a pretty important issue, although I didn't worry too much about it because I've been able to use both jutsu and xenophobia without any problems.

'I was observing the moment I used the 'toy''s other powers just now, and it felt like an unknown power was being converted into spiritual power. In other words, I thought it was a power that was similar in lineage to spirit power and life force... but that's as far as I found out.
'Well, thank you for looking into it. It's something I should have looked into myself, but I didn't pay any attention to it.

　I've been too distracted by various events and haven't thought much about myself. That's a reminder.

''....Yeah. A demon, a shikigami, a robot and a spirit. Black and the others are quite strange, but when I think about it calmly, I'm quite strange too.

　Or perhaps it's the most mysterious existence.
　Other than miracle energy, which is different from spiritual power and magic, there is still more mystery in this body that God has brought back to life.
　God said, ''I'll strengthen your physical abilities. I'll enhance your physical abilities, I'll increase your ability to acquire skills, and then he said, "In addition, I'll give you a little bit of my ability. I'll give you a little bit of my ability as an added bonus, and you'll figure out how to use it.
　In other words, the acquired ability is my own strength that I originally had, and the ability given to me by the gods exists separately.
　The 'acquisition ability' is so strong that I had forgotten about it until now.

'I'm now aware of it after all this time. I guess my existence is the most fantastic thing in the world.
I concur. I've lived a long time, and yet there's never been a more curious person in my life than you.
'What? You're here?
Well I don't remember, it's just my imagination.

　Is it my imagination? If that's the case, I can't blame you, but the world is a big place, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other beings just like me. The way the gods talk about it, it sounds like there are many other gods out there.
　Japan is said to have eight million gods, so there may be millions of them. You can't do that.

Well, that's okay. I'm not sure I'll ever find the answer even if I think about it now, and the mystery of the miracle energy will be revealed at some point. I have a feeling that is the case.
'Well, it's not really life threatening. We'll take our time and continue to observe.
"Kaka.
"Soudesne.
What, observation?

　In the end, I ended up living with Black, White and Nia staring at me all day that day.
　They seem to be more interested in the identity of the Miracle Energy than I am.

'I'd like you to help me clean up if you can...'
I'm sorry. Let me help you.
Kakaaka.
Yes, sir. I'm borrowing a doll that specializes in cleaning.

　I don't mind being watched, so I let him help me clean up while I'm at it.
　White is holding a toothbrush and using the vibrating control to remove stuck-on dirt from the sink drain and the gas stove in no time at all. Nia is connected to the cleaning-specialized Dolls and cleans the entire house efficiently. It's faster and more careful than moving them on command. Black is dedicated to supporting Shiro and Nia. He can dexterously lift small objects with his tail, and sometimes takes on the form of a lion to effortlessly lift large appliances.
　Incidentally, Lynn and Ur, who hate cleaning, called it a walk and ran away. Probably they went to the nearby park or to Isa-san's house next door to play.

''Hm?''
Black, what's going on?

　Suddenly, Black stopped, staring at the back of the second floor. What, what? I'm scared.........

"It has been bothering me for some time, but I've been sensing a strange presence from the storage room at the back of the second floor. It's a presence similar to your Lord's, but on closer inspection it's different... anyway, I can sense some kind of presence.
What's the sign?

　The storage room upstairs is often open, so there shouldn't be anyone hiding in it.

'I'll check later, just to be sure.
I've never been in there. What do you keep in there?
No, it's just regular old furniture and appliances that you don't use anymore. And I'm sure my grandfather's antique collection was there, too.

　Was there a vase or a hanging scroll or a sword or something?

Oh!
Mm, what's going on?

　Now I remember! He had stored some very important items in the shed. Maybe that's what the sign was, too.

'That shed has........hmm!
Now I'm sure I heard a noise.
I heard some suspicious noises in the shed.
Kakaaka.

　Noticing the abnormality, Nia and White came running over as well.

''It was a complete blind spot. There's no way that thing couldn't have special powers in normal circumstances.''
Hm? What is that thing?

　The most important item I keep in the storeroom is a letter from God.
