(049) The Centaur who wishes to eat carrots

Translator: Tseirp

I ran while shouldering Carol.

My footsteps resounded across the labyrinth.

“Look … at Carol’s … status?”

“Yeah, take a look.”

“But, Carol’s status is …”

“Doesn’t matter just take a look!”

I pressed with my voice and Carol reluctantly muttered “Status open” softly.

I have no eyes on the back of my head. Which is why I had no idea what expression she had on.

But, the hands around my neck weakened momentarily so I rotated my left hand to support her rear and grasped her hands with my right hand. It’s definitely not for the sake of groping her. It’s emergency measures. I’m definitely not enjoying the sensation of her butt … the public eye would most likely look to me as if I’m making excuses and call me a lolicon, it does feel good to a certain extent but I have to say it beforehand that this is absolutely emergency measures.

“Carol, hold on properly!”

“Ah, yes!”

“I believe you understand after seeing it but you have lost all your power as a Temptress so there’s a chance we will be attacked by minotaurs.”

” … Erm, why has my job become Commoner!?”

“It’s the blessings of the Goddess.”

I lied with a smile. Or rather, the reason why I found out about the secret of Jobless skills was because of the Growth Cheat blessings from both the Goddesses so it’s not a complete lie altogether.

“Just now, when I prayed to the Goddess Torerul-sama, I met the Goddess-sama. I discussed Carol’s job with her and she told me that she would turn your job back to Commoner after 15 minutes.”

Since I’ve come all this way, I might as well openly lie about it. Even though I lived with the belief of being stubbornly honest and on a path of sincerity when I was in Japan.

” … Eh? With Torerul-sama!?”

“Yeah, properly thank her at the statue in the square after we return to town.”

I willingly conceded my achievement to the Goddess-sama,

“Carol! What do you want to be?”

“Eh?”

“What do you want to be? Job-wise. You can change jobs since you’ve become a Commoner.”

” … Carol … want to be a Peddler! Just like papa and mama! Then, I want to become a first-rate Merchant just like what papa and mama wanted to be!”

“That’s great! Feels like it can work!”

“I can?”

“You can! I (still currently jobless) say so! Without a doubt!”

Within my heart, I tsukkomi-ed myself with “Only I don’t have the right to say words like that”.

Since I have not escaped from being Jobless until now.

“If that’s the case, we’ll have to raise your Commoner level up to 10! Hang on to me tightly!”

I said so as I turned a corner.

In front of our eyes was a minotaur with its back facing us.

“I’ll be sending minotaurs flying with kicks until we reach the stairs!”

I further increased my running speed. The minotaur was just ahead.

While kicking the minotaur, I said to Carol.

“Carol! Live! Live and find happiness! I will also become happy!”

I felt that … Carol gave a small nod behind me.
