Ch 46 Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

Ch 46 – My bad, I forgot something .

After dinner Fer reminded me of something .

“By the way,  are you offering your prayers to Ninril-sama?”

“Oh yeah, I completely forgot . ”

“You’ll be cursed big time! Hurry up and do it . ” Fer growled .

“Yeah yeah . ” I grumbled .

It’s only been a week since the oracle told me to make offerings so I’ve not actually broken my promise quite yet . I don’t want complaints from that poor excuse for a Goddess though so I’ll make another offering now .

I look through the Net Super menu while trying to decide what to offer .

The Goddess likes sweet things so I wonder what would be good . What should it be . . . ?

Hmmm, some things from this section might get the goddess to look kindly on me . I start searching the sweets menu but there are many different kinds .

I’ll just choose things that catch my eye to start with . First of all there’s custard pudding and cheesecake .

Cheesecake — baked cheesecake or unbaked cheesecake? Both?

Next, I think Swiss Roll, cream puff, Mont Blanc, chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake . After that pudding a la mode and tiramisu as well .

Is that a total of ten pieces? Everything’s a Western-style cake but if it’s for that Goddess it’ll be OK, I expect .

I’ve never looked in the Sweets Corner before but it seems to have been the right place this time . Right, I have to pay for all this .

A cardboard box appears as usual . I take out the sweets I purchased and line them up on the instant cardboard box altar .

“Wind Goddess Ninril-sama, I’d like to thank you for giving me your protection although I’m a little bit late . Thank you for your continued support . ” I pray to Ninril-sama while I make the offering .

[Ooh, finally . Really, how long were you going to keep me waiting?] Ninril-sama sounded snippy .

“I’m incredibly sorry, I was distracted by various things here and I forgot, sorta . . . ”

[Stop lying . I can see you from the World of the Gods, you know . You didn’t *just* forget . ]

Ow, she got me .

“Well, I’m incredibly sorry . I’ll take more care next time, please forgive me . ” I grovelled .

[Hmmm, I’ll forgive you this time but don’t make such a mistake again . I considered sending you an oracle to remind you many times but there are reasons why I couldn’t do it . ]

I forgot because she didn’t send me an oracle but it seems she can’t always do that for some reason .

[It’s like this,] Ninril-sama explained . [The Gods and Goddesses watch each other like hawks . If one of us sends too many oracles the others will notice . If I’m not careful then you’ll end up having to make offerings to them too . You’ve got to remain a secret . ]

Ah, I muttered to myself quietly, there are other greedy Goddesses too .
