Chapter 3 : Here comes the ****!!!
----------------------------------------
Bright lights entering my eyes. Somehow there too much bright lights recently, I hope they will tone it down…
Oh, they really tone it down. When the bright light is faded I can see a maid in in the middle of spacious wooden hall.
MAID!!! I SAY AGAIN, MAID!!! REAL MAID!!
“Welcome Goshujin-sama, I am Bell, your head maid, your secretary and your information manager“
….
Ho- ld i- t-
Ho- ld i- t-
Ho- ld i- t-
I CANT HOLD IT!!!!
“PLEASE SHAKE MY HAND!!”
………
………
Eh, No response? Lets’ peek a bit…
…. I think to be shocked that much is a bit…
“Well, then Goshujin-sama, let’s continue the talk inside.” Oh, she’s regain her composure.
“Please follow me.” She said that while walking to the hall.
Now you mention it, this place really different from the place before. This place has an old mansion like feels, the walls and floor is made of some kind of wood. While on each my left and right side wall is decorated with glass window facing to a beautiful garden.
“Ah, Miss Bell, can I know where is this?”
“Right now we’re on the way to your residence, where we stand right now is the boundary between the worlds.” Miss Bell answered my question while slowing her steps a little. I think you’re still too fast Miss Bell….
Oh from miss Bell position the glass window is replaced with polished wooden wall. Is this means we has arrived? Let’s look a bit from the last window… Nothing different, All I can see is beautiful garden filled with flower and occasional tree…
Well, let’s not think too much about that. On side note… PLEASE WAIT FOR ME MISS BEEELLLL
*****************
*************
*******
“huff… huff… huff… You’re too fast miss Bell… Please slow down…” How long we will walk… my whole body is hurts….
“We’ve arrived.” Miss Bell stopped on the end hall and turn around to face me while her right hand holding the door handle.
AT LAST!!!
“Welcome to your residence, Goshujin-sama”
*********************
Now I am sitting on the sofa in the middle of work room while drinks on cold drinks Miss Bell provides.
“Alright. Now I will continue the explanation from where Creator-sama left off.”
“Wait a minute, miss Bell. What’s with that strange way of talking?” Somehow her way of talking is a bit weird, not that I’m complaining tough.
“Excuse me but this is the way I’ve created by Creator-sama. I heard when Creator-sama created me she’s influenced with a world called earth’s culture when she inspect that world.”
So that’s why her way of talking is a bit… unusual… Now you mention it, Sophia’s way of talking is kind of weird. Maybe she also influenced by some unique culture?
“Also, Goshujin-sama, please don’t call me with miss bell, please call me Bell”
Ugh, She said that while push her glasses. If she do it like that how can I reject her request.
“A..Alright Bell, please continue”
“Let me introduce myself once more. I am Bell, despite my human like features I am an Etrious, a being created to help gods to do their jobs. I can help you by provide you basic necessities like food drink writing tools and so on. I can provide non basic things like Alcohols, Luxury food and the like of a cost.”
“Eh? I must pay for it?”
“Yes. The basic necessities is covered by Creator-sama’s power, the others isn’t. You must pay for it with your Divinity. For your information, the beverages you drink right now is cost 10.000 Divinity”
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
BFFFT. THIS DRINK COST THAT MUCH!? Well actually I don’t know how expensive is that.
“Please spurt such an expensive drinks like that.”
THIS IS REALLY EXPENSIVE?
“Uft, can you tell me how much other things cost, as comparsion.” Damn, this drink spoiled my shirt.
“hmm, Alright. The cost for a set of basic food and drinks is 50 Divinity, a set of basic clothes is 100 Divinity, a stack of paper is 250 Divinity, a bottle of fine wine is 10.000 Divinity, a set of Luxury Foods is 25.000 Divinity. That about it.”
SO CHEAP! SO EXPENSIVE! The Disparity of cost really too much. But that’s mean this drink really expensive!!
“Also don’t worry, that beverage is on the house.”
Sigh. This feels like a heavy load in my body is lifted.
“And for information, Creator-Sama given you 10.000 Divinity as starting money.”
“EH? Is it fine she gives me that much?” With that much Divinity I can buy…. 2000(?) set of food!
“Not really, it’s about basic starting money for every Gods. Besides it’s might be not enough for preparation.”
HEEEE~ That much is not enough? The preparation really cost that much?
“Ehem, Shall we continue with the explanation?”
“Please go ahead”
“I’ll also work as your secretary. Help you with your kin management, Divinity management, World Management, and so on.” Then I can dum- “Please remember that I’ll only works as helper. Please remember that” Eh um, please don’t say that while smiling. You make me scared!
“Ehem, I’ll also work as your information manager. You can ask any information you need and I’ll provide all information you allowed to see.”
“Allowed to see? Is there some kind of clearance for getting information?”
“Yes and no. There some basic information you can access from beginning, like information about your kin, and some of magic knowledge. As the rest, some you can get it as your kin explore the world, some when your kin is reached some point of growth, some when you get certain achievement, and so on. There are many way to get the information, maybe you’ll stumble upon your own way to get the information in future. Ah, you can also buy information through me.”
“So, now we get to the main point. You’ve given seven days as preparation time by Creator-sama. You can use that time to prepare your kin or learn about the world or learn a bit about magic. Any question?”
Preparation of my kin is really important, they’re my source of income after all.
But Learning about the place I’ll manage is important too.
And lastly, Learning about magic is so tempting….
Hm? Kin? Looks like I’ve forget about something….
AH! MY KIN IS AN ANT!! ORZ
How I suppose to prepare them…
Let’s ask Creaemon!! Wait she’s not here….
The one I can ask is… Bellmi!!! Please enlighten me!!
“Wha? Why you look at me with that face? It’s kinda gross...”
SHOOOOCKKK.
I’M SORRY!! PLEASE FORGIVE MY EXISTENCE!! I’AM JUST A SHELLFISH. I’LL GO TO THE CORNER AND DRAW A GOLDEN SPIRAL.
