(089) After the Goddess left

Translator: Tseirp

“That was a surprise, I didn’t expect to meet Libra-sama.”

Carol stood up and stared at the void where Libra-sama had just disappeared.

There’s nothing, there was completely nothing there.

Even so, that was even more frightening that anything else.

Being able to disappear where there’s nothing at all means that she is also able to appear from out of nowhere as well.

And, her manner of pulling that feat off like it was natural frightened me.

What would happen if she turns into my enemy?

She might even suddenly appear behind my back and stab me. No, something like getting stabbed would be the better outcome, I might even be killed.

That thought ran through my mind.

That was analogous to being stabbed from behind by a person you walked past while strolling in town, in other words, it is nothing more than a groundless fear but it still feels frightening nonetheless.

“Master, so what will be our course of action from now on?”

“Ah, let me see.”

Even though there was an unexpected guest, I’ll try using the Book of Heaven and Earth Creation that Libra-sama has tampered with.

Various explanatory texts had been added into it.

“Hn —, since I have about 300 MP remaining, I’ll only be able to create something along the lines of the water spring huh? I’ll give it a try.”

Since I didn’t feel like creating a garbage bin.

I traced the words ‘Water Spring’ with my finger.

The words shined gold but the water spring did not appear.

According to the explanatory text, there’s something like a map displayed on the next page so it seemed like I would be able to choose where to create the water spring.

On the next page, a page that has nothing on it … if this is a map, it’s an extremely simple one.

Because there’s nothing around after all.

An empty map that makes you think of vast white emptiness. (TL: The author made a pun with the word ‘after all’ as it sounds like an abbreviation of ‘nothing’ and ‘white’ in Japanese.)

I chose a suitable location on the map — there was no indicator so I just pressed on a suitable location.

I suddenly felt the sensation of my MP getting sucked away.

I felt my MP get taken and it continued to further suck my MP.

When I released my finger, the MP expenditure stopped.

At that time.

The sounds of rumbling earth reverberated.

I could tell that it was coming from there (I don’t know which direction exactly) as we desperately tried to keep our balance.

With the exception of Malina who was still continuing to prostrate on the ground … or rather, she was scared stiff on the ground.

Then —

“It’s gushing forth!”

It looked as if it was a geyser.

There wasn’t any reference object so I could not measure the exact distance but I could clearly see it even though I imagine it was a couple of kilometers away.

The water gushing forth gradually lost its momentum but it didn’t look like it was going to stop.
