Chapter 276.2. The Boss Mii-chan
“The devout believers living on the island might actually turn against us and accuse those who exposed the truth of conspiracy theories and such.”
[Yes, even if we provide evidence and the Pope confesses in person, they won’t accept the truth. They operate not on reason but on emotion and are stuck in a narrow-minded perspective.]
With her golden-like beautiful hair lifted, the ever-beautiful goddess delivered a compelling speech.
[As Frigg-sama says, it’s futile with fanatics. They won’t listen to our side even if they’re on the brink of death. They won’t lose their will to fight.]
[Right, yes. I have had the experience of facing a similar opponent, and even if their finger was broken or leg was cut off, they didn’t lose their will to fight, yes.]
Euno and Yashibu agreed with Frigg-oneesan’s words. Euno’s statement was somewhat creepy, but I could agree with her.
“In that case, what’s left… confirming that security has weakened and infiltrated the stronghold… Let’s continue the harassment a bit longer and then plan our next move.”
As the 3 nodded, it seemed like the meeting had ended. However, Frigg-oneesan seemed troubled by something. What could it be?
[It seems Yggdrasil has started something new because their funds are decreasing.]
“What have they started? Criminal activities?”
[It’s not as serious as that. They’re actually distributing a food item called Holy Rice Crackers in various places and asking for donations in return.]
“What’s that? That sounds suspiciously fishy. Does it have magic in it? Or maybe poison?”
[If that were the case, there would be an uproar. Well, I had my doubts too.]
At that response, Mii-chan narrowed her eyes.
“It’s not entirely without tricks. But can you figure out the mechanism? It’s food, after all.”
[Your intuition is impressive. Yes, that’s right. I had Nimue hold onto it, so take a look.]
Nimue was sprawled on the sofa, sleeping soundly. She was wrapped up in a blanket, leaving no openings. It seemed she mistook her dismissal as a break time.
“Nimue~?”
“If it’s cookies, I left them over there~”
She pulled the blanket up to her head and pointed to a metal trunk case. There is a metal trunk case on the floor. Was it inside there?
Not wanting to wake her up, I went to the chest and picked up the trunk case.
“Open sesame~”
Opening the trunk case revealed a reinforced glass box inside. It was quite secure.
“Aren’t Holy Rice Crackers supposed to look like Rice Crackers?”
“Oh… Flour, right?”
“It’s flour.”
Inside the glass case was nothing but flour. What’s going on here?
“Did Nimue eat it?”
I gave a glaring look to the blue-haired beauty, who was the prime suspect and practically confirmed as the culprit. She definitely ate it!
“No, Master. I heard it was something suspicious, so I haven’t touched it. Nyam nyam.”
It seemed she was listening to the conversation while lying down. But if it wasn’t Nimue, then who ate it?
[Hmm… is the fact that it turned into powder the issue?]
“It turned into powder?”
[Yes. Even magic detection doesn’t react to it. There are no components like poison in it. It’s like an ordinary holy bread, but…]
“Like a normal Holy Rice Crackers?”
I swallowed nervously and waited with excitement for Frigg-oneesan’s words. There seemed to be something more to it.
[When I and the Heroic Spirits touch it, it turns into powder. Its shape disintegrates within seconds. This is clearly magic, isn’t it?]
“So, it turns into powder just by touching it… What does Grandpa Odin say about this?”
[He says there’s nothing even after a thorough investigation. He suggests thinking about something coming from nothing.]
I understood the gravity of Frigg-oneesan’s words with a shrug.
“It’s troublesome. It crackers that reacted to gods and their servants. Maybe they’re trying to expose us?”
[Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. But since there’s no sign of them coming to confirm the results, they must have a different plan.]
“Food is a sly choice. It’s about what goes into your mouth.”
I stared at the powder inside the glass case with a displeased expression.
The idea that the powder might be spores or some sort of living organism had crossed my mind, but there didn’t seem to be anything unusual in its appearance.
I tried putting it into her item box. What name would be displayed?
-Former Rice Cracker Powder: Originally part of rice crackers.-
“Even in the item box, there doesn’t seem to be anything abnormal.”
It was unsettling… but for now, there was nothing more they could do.
“For now, keep analyzing it. I have something to do.”
[Understood. But what do you have to do?]
Frigg-oneesan asked with curiosity, and I puffed out my chest with enthusiasm.
“I’ll be a cheering squad for the martial arts tournament! I’m cheering for Yamiyo-chan, Tamamo-chan, and Ninny-chan!”
I waved her hands enthusiastically. I was going to give it her all as a cheerleader.
“It seems they didn’t choose you as the selected team, my lady…”
Frigg-oneesan cast a pitying glance in my direction.
Well, there’s nothing I can do. Everyone else was really strong.
In reality, it would have been impossible to compete in a race against multiple opponents without lowering the difficulty level. I request the introduction of an easy mode.
Maybe I wasn’t destined to participate in events because I was just a mob character.
