(024) Goddess’s worry

Translator: Tseirp

An empty space. This was the second time I’ve been here.

Also, it’s the second time I’m meeting the orc … no, Koshmar-sama.

“What a rude child.”

It’s also been a long time since my heart was read. Even though I properly corrected myself.

“It’s been a long time Koshmar-sama. I’ve been enjoying the second life Koshmar-sama gave me.”

“Hmph, then it’s alright. Good grief, to keep saying orc orc just by looking at my physique.”

The fat … plump Koshmar-sama seems to dislike the voice in my heart.

“To begin with, your world was initially configured such that plump women were more beautiful but I let my guard down for a 100 years and suddenly smart-looking women were appreciated instead. Other than those who were sensitive to my power, humans began liking lean individuals.”

… So the fat fetishism in the world was due to the influence of Koshmar-sama huh. Lately, I’ve heard of chubby girls becoming models so her power might be becoming stronger.

“Also, needless to say, I’m plump because I like to be so. I’m a Goddess so I can freely change my figure okay.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right … wait, I did not go through the trouble of recalling only your consciousness here for such conversations. Do you know why I called you?”

Ah, I do have one guess.

Or rather, that’s the only thing I can think of.

“Is it because I have 2 blessings?”

I don’t remember deceiving them but it’s true that normally a person can only obtain 1 blessing but I received 2.

Looks like I have no choice but to obediently return the 1/20 required experience points. Or so I thought.

However.

” … No, that doesn’t matter anymore.”

Koshmar-sama’s reply was outside my expectations.

“Since that incident was clearly a mistake on our side.”

” … Then, what is this about?”

“It’s Jobless. The Jobless skill.”

“Ah, Jobless skill, it’s been a great help.”

” … It’s troubling that it’s been a great help to you.”

She gave a grand sigh and shook her head.

The meat on her chin swayed with a 『purupuru』 … she said that she’s plump because she likes it but I think that it would be easier to move if she was lean.

“The conversation about my physique is over already.”

Shit, my heart was read.

I stood at attention at Koshmar-sama’s scolding.

“In the first place, I don’t remember setting a skill for Jobless. A job with no benefit at all, that’s Jobless. Despite that, second job? third job? apart from that, job change that should not be possible without intervention from Goddesses? Seriously, isn’t that a skill that surpasses divine revelations?”

“Eh? So this was a bugged technique after all?”

“Of course. Good grief … Even though you, the criminal himself, can make an educated guess, how many hundreds of years do you think it takes to intervene with the system?”

Koshmar-sama switched to bitching mode and was grumbling under her breath.

Ah, looks like it’s not easy being a Goddess as well. Even though I thought she could do anything?

“In any case, you can’t tell anybody about your Jobless skill. If the Jobless skill gets out, the world’s power balance would definitely crumble … But even if I say it like that, this is a request, not an order. Since you also will have companions that you would want to confide this secret with.”

Koshmar-sama looked into my eyes and said. She most likely saw through my heart that there was no way I could keep quiet about it toward Haru forever.

” … I understand.”

I never intended to spread this information in the first place and it is foolish to make Goddess-sama an enemy.

“Well then, the reward I’ll gift to you for clearing the dungeon will be … it’s being prepared so please wait for it.”

“Being prepared?”

“Yeah, the skill is chosen at random. Roulette, lottery or darts, which would you prefer?”

“Ehh? The skills are chosen like that?”

“Yeah, it was decided by Torerul. It’s troublesome to think about it each and every time so it’s appropriate.”

That child Goddess, what does she think human lives are?

“Incidentally, roulette and lottery give average skills while darts have the greatest gamble. The consolation prize is a scourer after all.”

“Scourer!?”
