Huge Holy 20

20 - Do you think there is such a convenient story?

RAW

…Oi.

I woke up badly in an indescribable state of mind.
I knew for sure, but... but... um, I can't quite catch the name, was it bu... bu, Brutoum? That piece of shit.
Doesn’t he have any humanity?――no, he’s a god so I guess he doesn’t have one.
Even so, he was too shitty! What the hell is that guy!!

I can't understand anything, like having to reincarnate anew when the investigation is finished.
He forced the one-sided story on me and passed by like a storm.
I would have been happy if it was some sort of nightmare, but unfortunately I myself understand that it’s not a nightmare.

In order to calm down, I started lightly cleaning and preparing breakfast.

Well, I knew there was no such convenient story.
If you died a violent death in your previous life, you could reincarnate in another world and become happy… that's the cliched story. How many hundreds of thousands of these do you think there are?

Rather, it would make more sense to be reincarnated for a reason.
There are a lot of people who can't accept flimsy reasons for reincarnation, such as the meaningless whim of God… No, this case also has a similar motive.

However, the reason why I would feel better if the reason is as flimsy as uncured ham that has no taste is because I am the spawn of that piece of shit.
I am even becoming skeptical of my own sense of values.

But still... investigation. Investigation huh.
Assuming that those communications are true, why is the God of Underworld so active in investigating the condition of the planet?
The god of the underworld is that, isn’t he. Maybe Hades, or Satan, etc... Ah, no, I guess Satan is a devil huh. Well, whatever. Anyway, he's a god who rules the world after death, why is he interested in this world... Maybe he isn’t?
It's possible that he was thinking ‘you’re human, so don’t mind the small details’.

“...I guess this is it for a start.”

After I finished washing the curtains and other clothes that I had requested from the adventurers, I collected the liquid that oozed out from the underside of the medicinal herb leaves in the field I maintained.
This is the raw material for a potion.

I only finished a dozen or so specially made potions by mixing the raw material and some [Clean Water].
It is possible to produce even more potent potions by mixing ingredients from other medicinal herbs planted in the field but… judging by their growth, It is still a long way off.

First of all, I’ll deliver the potions to the reception at the guild.
This kind of activity also earns me points as an adventurer, so I have to diligently do it.
The receptionist, who had completely become a familiar face, had a complicated expression when she saw the potion I delivered.

“Eh... this is, did Josiah-san make this...?”

“Yes. I used the medicinal herbs from the field in the back.”

“I, I see.”

“...Um, is there something wrong?”

“No. Well, I have the [Appraisal] skill, so I know the quality of the potions…”

“Was the quality too low?”

“N, no. the quality is at ‘C’ rank, that's neither good nor bad…”

“Are you saying you only accept high-quality potions here?”

“N, no! If there is a surplus here, we can give it to other guilds that have a demand for it, so that’s not the problem. However... I was just surprised that, for something Josiah-san made, it was too low rank.”

…What the hell is this girl saying?

Are you expecting me to be a big shot just because I’m a light magic user??
Even if you are expecting something, it will just let you down, so it's useless.
It can't be helped. I'll have to be patient until I can dive into dungeons and make a lot of money in another guild. They should just one-sidedly expect things from me.

As I announced yesterday, I set about cleaning the book storage.

――――

(T/N: book storage (書庫): library, stack room, store room. According to the dictionary and deepL. ‘Library’ has another word (toshokan or toshoshitsu), and ‘archives’ is already used (it’s a different word), but ‘store room’ isn’t ‘booky’ enough, that’s why I choose book storage, since it implies that it was only used for storage, not for reading.)
