It seems that I have come across quite an extraordinary book.
“Seriously?”
[What do you mean?]
“So, you’re really the goddess? You created this world?”
[I have already said so.]
… Um… What is this?
“Why in a book?”
[If we skip the details, it can be attributed to the limitations of the book’s capacity.]
The details… are probably related to the Demon King, I suppose.
From everything so far, it seems like this goddess had a good relationship with the Demon King.
“Was the Demon King… a friend of the goddess?”
[Yes, the one and only friend.]
The newly named [Alive Grimoire], or rather, the goddess, seems delighted.
“Could it be that intelligence is something you learned from the Demon King?”
[You’ve figured it out quite well. That one is obsessed with reason and intelligence… Thanks to that, this world is still preserved.]
“Just to confirm… the hundred-year battle between the goddess and the Demon King…”
[Ah, at first, we tried to fight each other physically. But it didn’t offer much satisfaction…]
Ah, the theory that the Demon King is actually a vegetable seems highly plausible…
“And so… the conclusion was…”
[We engaged in debates.]
…Peace! It’s all about peace! There was no bloody and fantastical battle!
Let’s call it a day here. I feel like my head is about to explode if I encounter any more shocking revelations.
I returned from the Goddess Book and collapsed in exhaustion.
“…Maito, what’s wrong?”
Half-dazed, Suzumoto asked me.
“This book… it was the goddess…”
“…I don’t understand.”
I don’t understand it anymore either!
Let’s organize things.
That book is the goddess, and it seems she and the Demon King were probably friends or had some kind of relationship.
And… the goddess was likely quite brutish until she met the Demon King. Then, because the Demon King was weak in terms of physical strength or maybe because the goddess was too strong, they couldn’t engage in physical fights. So, the Demon King challenged the goddess, who was brute-like (hypothetically), to an intellectual battle, and… the goddess cherished the intelligence she learned from the Demon King. In other words, it seems that the goddess and the Demon King had a good relationship.
And then… this is just speculation from this point.
When the goddess created this world, it was probably quite chaotic. At least, when the goddess first met the Demon King, they tried to settle things with physical combat, and the goddess didn’t value intelligence until then.
And so, the Demon King… I still don’t have any detailed information about the Demon King’s origins or race, but it seems the Demon King complained to the goddess… and then, through a legitimate means of debate, they guided the world in the proper direction.
…The fallen form of that goddess is the book, [Alive Grimoire].
And let’s not forget, that book came from the stomach of Hunter’s parents. And through [Share], Hunter’s ancestors received it from the Demon King who created them.
The goddess turned a part of herself into a book, and a part of the Demon King… protected it, perhaps.
Well, for now, what we can say is that in this world, the goddess and the Demon King didn’t necessarily oppose each other.
Anyway…
While I was in a daze, the timing was perfect as the President sent a request for a taxi, so I went to pick them up.
It seems the door opened with the Great Priest’s ring has been thoroughly explored. The bag, inflated with what seems to be spoils of war, spoke volumes.
“Do we have all the materials?”
“No, not yet. There are still some missing items, so we need to search for them.”
Hagasaki-kun says while arranging the contents of the bag on the table. Wait, this is…
“From here on the left is yours. Do something with it.”
There are items like clothes imbued with some kind of skill or beautiful fabrics.
Hmm, these are definitely my share. After all, I’m the only one who can process them. Yeah, maybe I’ll use them for everyone’s equipment. Wearing Demon King army equipment is inconvenient.
“This one is for Toriumi and Katori.”
Toriumi and Katori, huh? They are presented with metallic lumps and the like, which I can’t quite understand. It’s probably because they were at the temple. Toriumi and Katori’s eyes sparkled when they saw the metallic lumps. Unfortunately, I can’t understand it myself.
Then I received a [Communication] and, as expected, Kadomi-kun found Class 7. Since there’s no reason to stay here, we all [Transfer] there. It seems the terrain will change a bit from this point onward. It’s becoming a hilly area. The monsters still seem to be quite calm, though.
…Now then, we’ve reached a branching point.
Looking around, despite the southern side being a cliff, there’s a stretch of ground extending from a certain point, faintly visible all the way to the opposite bank. It’s like a bridge… or a corridor.
“Um… what do we do from here? Should we search for Class 8 and Class 9, or head to the Extracurricular Learning Building?”
And if we continue west from here, we should find Class 8, Class 9, and the 2nd floor west restroom in the South Building.
“Ah, then I’ll take care of Class 8 and Class 9, just like before. I’ll also check the restroom further ahead.”
By Hariu’s offer, the classrooms will be collected in the same manner as Class 1 and 2.
“Hmm, then I guess I’ll have to go to the Extracurricular Learning Building. The Spirit Elixir Manufacturing Team must have something to do, right?”
“Yes, indeed. We’re still discussing the manufacturing process, so there’s plenty to work on.”
It seems they’ll be progressing at a snail’s pace, but there’s no helping it. It’s frustrating to only be able to say, “do your best.”
“Understood. I’ll go then. …Ah, I don’t want to.”
Reluctantly, Toriumi activated the Ketorami Ride and left.
I can only say, please do your best and think of it as training for your vestibular system. I’ll make a delicious dinner, so don’t worry.
As the clothes I’ve sewn have started to accumulate again, I brought some smoked bacon and head to George-san’s place in Deichemoore.
“Aaaah! Maito-senpai! Maito-senpai! You came at the perfect time!”
O-Oh? Hanamura-san is unusually high-spirited.
“Look! Look at this!”
I go to see… and there’s a gemstone on the floor.
I [Appraise] it, and oh, it’s the [Career Guidance Room]! It’s the room that was supposed to be next to the staff room on the south side of the 1st floor.
“Utagawa-senpai won it at an auction!”
Sitting on a nearby chair, a slightly tired-looking Utagawa-san waves her hand in greeting with a smile.
“The [Magic Voice] really takes a toll. Well, I can’t complain since we got a classroom out of it.”
She said so and smiled radiantly.
“Thank you for your hard work. Here are the finished dresses and formal wear, and also some bacon. Let the bacon rest overnight before eating it.”
…Oh, come to think of it, George-san can replicate platinum coins with a skill or something like that… so, I didn’t really have to sew dresses and such, right?
“Oh, thank you! That’s a relief. By the way, Maito-san…”
“Yes?”
“For this, we ended up negotiating with the aristocracy of this world.”
That sounds quite challenging.
“I think we’ll continue doing that from now on. So, dresses and such are necessary for those occasions, and since nobles are so concerned about appearances, so if someone wears the same dress even once, they’ll criticize them for it.”
I see, so that means the dresses I’ve sewn will be worn by Utagawa-san. Well, I’m honestly happy about that. Dresses truly shine when they’re worn by beautiful people.
In fact, the dress Utagawa-san is wearing right now is one I sewed some time ago, but it looks much more radiant than when seen as a standalone dress. Hehe, it’s a great satisfaction for the creator.
“So, don’t worry about having too many dresses. It may be bothersome for Maito-san, but…”
“No, no, it’s not a problem at all. From now on, I’ll make dresses with the assumption that Utagawa-san will wear them.”
As I said that, Utagawa-san thanked me and smiled with a slightly bashful expression. It’s a feast for the eyes.
“Oh, by the way, if you need information on the aristocracy, I have some right now. Can I give it to you?”
“Huh? Give it… well, I don’t mind.”
“Yeah. It’s faster to try it. Alright, here I go. [Share].”
As usual, I use [Share] to transmit the information I extracted from the Great Priest to Utagawa-san and then disengage.
“How is it?”
“…It’s a new sensation. What is this… I’m a bit confused, but yeah, I’m fine.”
The method may not have been well received, but the information was greatly appreciated.
…That Great Priest seems to have a hold on the weaknesses of the nobles. It’s no wonder it’s helpful.
Hmm, I kinda want to see Utagawa-san gracefully socializing while wielding the weaknesses of the aristocracy.
After that, I [Transferred] back and started embroidering on the clothes brought back by the Spirit Elixir Manufacturing Team, choosing the ones with good performance. I also started preparing dinner and waited while collecting Hariu, who had safely finished collecting Class 8, Class 9, and the restrooms.
Then, finally, I received a [Communication] from Toriumi.
[Hello? Um, I encountered the Drama Club members. Everyone is safe.]
Oh, that’s good to hear.
[But they’re all struggling with their basic needs, so I want to summon Maito-san. Can you come right now?]
“All right, come on! It’s showtime! Leave it to me!”
Alright, it’s my turn! Leave it to me!
It seems that I have come across quite an extraordinary book.
“Seriously?”
[What do you mean?]
“So, you’re really the goddess? You created this world?”
[I have already said so.]
