V4C88 (2/2)
If I was scoring her, it would be a score close to full marks.
“These would be all the members, Libra-sama.”
“Thank you for the hard work, Ichinojo-san.”
“Er … Libra-sama. It’s been bothering me since before and it doesn’t really matter since it’s already been such a long time but my name is Ichinosuke instead of Ichinojo so is it possible to correct it?”
“No, your name is Ichinojo. It is an unexpected matter on this side but it is apparently related to the customs of your world. That’s right, please ask Minerva about that. Since she’s the expert on it.”
“Minerva?”
“The Goddess of Magic, Sorcery, and Witchcraft.”
“Would I be able to meet her?”
“Let’s see, there are a couple of her labyrinths in the southern continent. I’ll make arrangements such that you will be able to meet her when you visit there.”
It doesn’t seem like it’s an error that my name is Ichinojo instead of Ichinosuke.
She couldn’t tell me the reason why but well, lately I’ve really been thinking that it doesn’t really matter so I guess it’s fine.
“Well then, Ichinojo-san. And your companions. It is strictly forbidden to reveal anything said here to any other people. Understood?”
The 3 of us gave affirmations to Libra-sama’s question.
Malina was nodding her head so much to the point that it was about to fall off.
“Ichinojo-san, regarding this space you made using the skill called ‘Hikikomori’ — ”
Malina’s gaze directed towards me upon hearing Libra-sama’s speech.
Yes, I was putting on airs. I lied saying that it’s called My World. Yes, I’m a Hikikomori.
“This space is the same type as our Goddess domain.”
I was not very surprised at those words.
Since after looking at the sky and the spread out pure white space, well, I thought that it resembled the God’s world.
“Thankfully, because Ichinojo-san added a restriction by performing Star Creation immediately, the world regained balance and this space was disconnected from the God’s domain. That was something delightful to me. For you and for us Goddesses.”
“Wait a minute, eh? For this to be the same type as the God’s domain, it wasn’t an advanced skill in the space-time magic like the item bag?”
“Does Ichinojo-san know the capacity of an item bag?”
“N, no.”
“Otherworld … it is 1% of the planet you are on.”
” … Eh?”
1% of a planet, doesn’t that mean it’s practically infinite?
“But, this world — this world that you made has no limit. It’s a universe on its own.”
“One … universe?”
“Yes. Compared to this world, the capacity of the item bag is equal to zero.”
What Libra was saying was probably how 1/∞ and 1oo trillion/∞ is still equals to zero.
“So, does that mean master has become a God?”
Haru asked with a tensed expression. But, Libra shook her head.
“No, the person who created this world is not Ichinojo-san. The one who messed with the Jobless skill and constructed a chance for the Jobless skill to connect to this world was another being. What Ichinojo-san did was merely create the door. Even this star is not something created by Ichinojo-san.”
Libra gave a smile at that point,
“Although, Ichinojo-san, this star already belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it. Using my power, I will extend a barrier over this star to not only protect you from the real creator of this world but also make it such that you can use that Book of Heaven and Earth Creation as you have been using it until now. In exchange — ”
She extended her hand. A wand appeared and the tip pointed at a place that had nothing.
When that happened, a pure white observatory-like building suddenly appeared there.
“I will create a base for me to observe this world. I will occasionally drop by so I hope that you will accept just this request.”
“Understood. Thank you.”
“No, I should be the one who should be thanking you. Thank you for cooperating, Ichinojo-san.”
Libra-sama said as she began walking away, her figure gradually became more transparent and finally, she disappeared.
The nervous Haru and Carol stood up after 10 seconds.
Malina … was unconscious.
