Ch 121 — Secret Drinking Exposed (second part)

“Ignore those noisy Goddesses for the moment while I introduce myself . They call me Hephaestus, the God of Blacksmiths . ” The deeper male voice resounded in my head .

“Me, I’m the God of War . Name’s Vulcan . ” The first male voice chimed in .

Oh, the two Gods the Goddesses warned me about, the ones who liked to drink . The secret was out, it seemed .

“You’re making offerings to the ladies, aincha? In that case we want offerings too . Booze, of course . ” Hephaestos-sama got right to the point .

“Lots of other-world booze and we want it right now . ” Vulcan-sama followed up . Hey, these people (gods) are really selfish and demanding, aren’t they?

“Muu-,” Deplorable-sama screeched, “you guys, what are you doing butting in here? We don’t get these offerings for free, you know!”

“Yes, we have granted this other-world-guy our divine blessings in return for him making offerings to us once a week . ” Kishar-sama explained . “It’s the rules . ”

“That’s right . ” Agni-sama added . “You guys haven’t done anything for him so you can’t get anything from him, see?”

” . . . you two, can’t get . ” Ruka-sama declared .

Just as I had decided that the God of Blacksmiths and God of War were being selfish, the Goddesses stopped bitching at each other and jumped in unnecessarily to explain how things worked to their fellow dieties . I had a bad feeling about this . . .

“Hou, so that’s how it is . Hmmm . . . ” the God of War mused, “Okay then, we’ll give our divine protection to the other-world-guy too . That way we’ll be entitled to get booze from him, right? Whaddya think, Blacksmith God?”

I now had a really bad feeling about this .

“Sounds good to me, War God . Right then, here’s my blessing-”

I couldn’t begin to decribe how bad I was feeling about how this was going . I was going to receive yet more divine blessings I didn’t want from a couple of musclebrained Gods just so I’d have to offer them booze on a regular basis . Really . Not . Want .

“Hold it, hold it, hold it, I do not need any more blessings . ” I burst out before they could do anything .

“No? You refuse our divine protection~!” the God of Blacksmiths exploded . “To say that to the likes of us? In the name of Heaven I will punish you! Mega-hammer chastisement strike-”

Woah, woah!! He seemed a bit angry for some reason .

“Wait, what I said was inexcusable, I should have been clearer, oh mighty God of Blacksmiths . ” I grovelled (insincerely) . “Why don’t you give your blessing to my contracted monster, this Slime here since I’ve got all the divine blessings I really need for myself . I will of course make offerings to you in return for the bestowal of your divine blessing . ” I pointed to Sui -chan who was sleeping in the futon on the bed . S- Sorry, Sui . . .

“Well, I see, so that’s what you meant . ” The God of Blacksmiths deflated . “All right, I understand . I’ll give my divine blessing to that Slime . ” There was a pause . “Right, it’s done . ”

“I’m next then . ” the God of War announced . “Do you want me to grant my divine protection to this contracted monster too?”

I thought quickly, Sui had already received the blessing from the God of Blacksmiths but somehow I didn’t want darling Sui to have the God of War’s protection too . She was enough of a battle maniac as it was, how she would be with that particular blessing . . . I shuddered . Too risky . And I didn’t want it myself, either . Safety first, after all . I might turn into a battle maniac too and get killed . Nope, not gonna happen . Dora-chan didn’t have any divine blessings though and he was a Dragon so . . .

“M- Maybe my other contracted monster, a Pixie Dragon . . . ” I offered hopefully . I could go down to the beast stables and get him, bring him up here if the God of War was willing to wait . . .

“I understand . ” There was a pause . “Ohoho, you also have a Fenrir as a contracted monster? Then I’ll share my divine protection between the two of them . They’re both creatures that are compatible with my blessing, after all . ” The God of War knew about Fer somehow? “It is done . ” Ah . . . So Fer and Dora-chan have both received the God of War’s blessing .

I figured Fer would be OK with this God’s blessing, after all he liked to fight . Dora-chan I didn’t know about but Fer seemed to think that Pixie Dragons were good fighters too so it shouldn’t cause him any problems . Maybe .

“Fuahahaha, they’re received a great blessing even if I say so myself . ” the God of War went on to explain . “My protection provides a 50 percent boost to their Status when fighting . ” 50 percent boost? That much? “Of course it makes them more belligerent for a time but then again who doesn’t like fighting? Fuahahaha!” I don’t, I thought to myself . I had dodged a bullet, it seemed . It would have been helpful to know that at the start, God of War-sama . Still, what’s done is done, I decided . Time to open up the Net Super and order up what everyone wants .

“Now that’s out of the way, I wanna drink some booze in return for granting my protection . ” the God of Blacksmiths announced .

“What he said . Booze, liquor preferably, something strong, like me . Fuahahaha!” the God of War added .

These two are super-annoying . . . Just then Ninril-sama interrupted again .

“My fellow Gods, there are rules about the offerings you can receive from this other-world-guy, you know?”
