Chapter 388: Usual
Did Es only feel a zap because of the distance between us, or is it because she’s strong? I guess it’s probably both, huh.
「Alright, it’s been quite a feast. Resolve the matter of Asas’s settlement expeditiously, and I shall bestow upon you my blessing. 」
「Yeah, we’ll do our best to organize it as soon as possible. 」
「I am not a sadist, I am quite gentle to those I acknowledge, alright. 」
Es said before vanishing into thin air — or so I thought, but a water pillar suddenly rose from the plunge pool behind me. Argh, stop making people jump, will you.
And S, she seemed to understand the meaning of S!! Is it because of 【Language】-san!? 【Language】-san did its job, is that it…!?
— Ugh, let’s just stop thinking too deeply about this.
「I will also bestow you with an abundant harvest prior to Es’s arrival. 」
Skos said.
「Skos is also a God of Bountiful Harvest? Like Asas? 」
I remembered Hauron mentioning it before.
「I am Es’s loyal retainer. I provide abundant crops to the lands that run alongside the Goddess. Asas may have lost most of his power, but he’s still considered as Es’s equal. He can bring about a bountiful harvest even without Es. Doggy is also a deity on the same level as Es. 」
Skos explained in that deep voice of his as usual.
「That’s a given! Asas can never match my, this mighty Doggy’s strength! I am worthy of standing side by side with Es! 」
Doggy’s chest swelled with pride.
But Es seemed to be smitten with Asas. You’ll also get your reward someday, Doggy. Do your best, Doggy.
Anyway, Asas is quite amazing if he can stand alone, huh. Well, it’s said that he can make vegetation grow and flowers bloom simply by being in that place, after all.
「Nenet will also do her best~ I bestow good fortune and wealth to humans~ 」
Nenet said while her forked tongue flitted in and out of her mouth.
「Whoa, that sounds amazing. Please take care of me. 」
I’m getting used to the sight of the lime green crocodile and pink cobra combo.
「Farewell. 」
「Till next time, bye bye ~ 」
The couple vanished in thin air. Just when I’m getting used to them, what a pity.
「Hm. I’ll stay for a while longer. 」
Doggy sat beside Retze — ah, no, he was sprawled beside him.
I took out the bone of the ox monster I defeated by the riverbank of Es and tried offering it to him. Doggy took it and gnawed on it. It probably feels great munching on that thighbone, huh.
「Doggy prefers my bones to have a tiny bit of meat. 」
「Alright, I’ll keep that in mind for next time. 」
Riche prefers the bones that have been washed clean and boiled. Well, I did say prefer, but it’s not actually the flavor, but the tactile sensation that he enjoys, I guess. His favorite gnaw toy is still X-Stick, so he doesn’t gnaw on bones anymore, though.
「Are you really alright leaving it like that? 」
Retze’s half-lidded gaze was turned towards Doggy, then he would turn to me and sigh, before wordlessly and vigorously rubbing my head and tousling my hair. What’s the matter?
「Stekar, the Deity of Tempest and Wars… 」
Hauron looked like he’s about to collapse.
「You just made a contract with Es and you only faltered a bit? Just how much mana have you gained since you made that contract with Shahira? 」
「Spirit “Noth” is diligently taking contracts, so it’s not only me who’s doing the job. The number of notebooks also increased. 」
There was only one Spirit Note initially, but now we have notebooks for fire, water, land or earth, light, darkness, wind, trees, flowers — oh, and I also have one especially for black spirits, since I’m naming them directly. I even name spirits while sleeping, so…
「What the heck is that situation… And that “Noth” of yours… 」
Hauron was exhausted from trying to make sense of things.
「The Es notebooks should be ready any moment now, I think? 」
I took the notebook I’ve been keeping in my bosom.
I know it’s bulky, but because I took it out of 【Storage】and walked around it, it could record the names of tiny spirits, as long as they’re small enough. I think it would still take a while before the notebook takes on the shape of Noth.
「Ack, I forgot to write the four. 」
Asas, Doggy, Skos, Nenet and finally, S. I already recorded Asas last night, so just the four that we met earlier, then.
「It’s a pleasure to meet you, Master. But perhaps we met again. 」
Note reverently and elegantly bowed toward me.
「Yeah, I’m in your care. 」
As expected of the four deities, Es Note had just been born, but he’s already the same size as a human, quite huge.
Oh well, all the notebooks are connected to each other, and several of them are already the same size as humans.
「Please take care of me. 」
We greeted each other, then he suddenly turned into mist and was swallowed by the notebook again.
「… You. 」
Dinosso seemed exasperated as his tone rose.
「Hm? 」
「Is this how it usually goes? 」
Dinosso seemed to be on the verge of tears.
「Yup. 」
Ack, Dinosso was pressing the inner corners of his eyes when I answered!
