Minerva-sama used a straw to sip lassi from a cup .
Even though she didn’t look like she was enjoying it, Miri said that she was .
After all, if she ate something she found unpalatable .
“Disgusting, let’s just die . ”
She would say that and start killing herself .
She would commit suicide on impulse in that manner . Miri and I didn’t know how to stop her from trying to commit suicide .
I heard from Miri that — in her previous life as Kaguya, she had quite a terrible interaction with Minerva .
“Where’s this? I should have died …”
” … So noisy … I should just die . ”
“Eh, why do you want to die all of the sudden! Wh-who are you!?”
” — If I die, I won’t have to answer such a troublesome question . Fufufu — ”
“At least tell me where this is . ”
“It won’t matter where this place is if I die . ”
It went something along those lines .
Leaving aside Koshmar-sama, I thought Torerul-sama was quite bad but it looks like Minerva-sama was even worse . josei
But she did properly bestow the Study of Medicine skill so if we take that into consideration, Malina who got the Street Performer job had it worse .
“Minerva, that’s enough right . ”
“Oh, what’s the matter? Kaguya-chan . ”
” ………… We came to ask about the contrivance that led to our transfer to this world . ”
“Ah, it is regarding that . But I don’t know about it . ”
The instant Minerva said that,
“「Dark Thousand Swords」”
Miri chanted and countless dark swords appeared .
And those swords were all pointed at Minerva .
“Miri, calm down . Erm, Minerva-sama — if that’s the case, do you have anything you can tell us for our sake? Maybe the secret to the world, a method to return to Japan, ah right . Or maybe about Metias-sama . ”
“Metias . I have not heard that name in ages . Fufufufu . The Goddess of Life — the polar opposite existence to me, the Goddess of Death . ”
“No no, you are the Goddess of Medicine . I wonder where that child is now . ”
” … Eh?”
What? What was with that remark?
“Wait a moment . Isn’t the name Metias already dead?”
“She’s not dead . If it was that easy to die, I would have died a long time ago . ”
No, you want to die on a whim but would actually hesitate to die .
“But Torerul is currently looking for her though . She was fuming . Because of you, she found traces of Metias and had to start working to look for her . That’s right, you just came into contact with Metias very recently . But I wonder what would happen if Metias revives . Will it be like that time — ”
“I will not let it turn out the same way!”
” … Oh, that’s right . You were there at the center of it at that time . Ah, right right . Kaguya-chan . Beware of the Church . Well now, I’ll send you guys back to your world . ”
“Wait a minute!”
Miri stopped Minerva .
What was she planning to ask?
Just as I was guessing,
“It’s fine now . ”
Miri commented .
At the same time, we appeared in the Goddess Statue room .
【Title: Labyrinth Conqueror IV has ranked up to Labyrinth Conqueror V】
【Clear reward skill: Lifestyle Magic III has skilled up to Lifestyle Magic IV】
… Ah, I somewhat had the premonition that would happen .
“Onii, how is it? Did you properly get Lifestyle Magic? Although I did actually choose to return at the timing where you would get Lifestyle Magic . ”
“It was intentional!? Eh, you can actually do that?”
“Yeah . To this extent . Miri’s ability is something like Future Sight . ”
“But you don’t have such a skill on your status page . ”
“Ah, it’s not a skill but an ability I had since my previous life in Japan . ”
“Hn? That means you made a killing in shares because?”
“Yeah, thanks to this ability . ”
How absurd .
So Future Sight was actually real .
The situation was like a Light Novel Title — My younger sister’s Future Sight ability was too much of a cheat, my dignity as a brother was lost .
“But, although I call it Future Sight, I can only know the outcome of choices . For example, something like if a stock price will go up or down . Furthermore, I can’t see multiple futures . That’s why, this time I predicted Onii’s future so —”
Miri showed the scourer on the palm of her hand .
“As such, Miri’s future was uncertain . We wouldn’t get this outcome if we took turns to pray to the Goddess Statue though —”
“Did you become the Demon Lord because of that ability?”
“Kind of . When compounding as a Herbalist, when making medicine — hn, to make it easier for Onii to understand, it is split into failure, success, and great success . For example, when making a potion, failure would result in a low-quality potion, success in a regular potion and great success would result in a high-quality potion . So, the probability of a great success is extremely low but in exchange, the medicine will have amazing effects . The Limit Breaking Medicine Onii drank is actually a medicine that can be obtained with a 0 . 1% probability when compounding an Experience Potion . ”
“So it was such an amazing medicine . ”
That’s terrifying .
“Then, Onii . I’ll look for the Kiriri grass . ”
“Hn? Ah, can I leave it to you? I’d like to check on the Lifestyle Magic IV spell . ”
I said as I checked the magic list .
… . This is?
“Hn … Miri, what kind of spell is ‘Home Return’?”
“Just like the name implies, it is a spell that recalls you back to your home … in a sense . You’ll know once you cast it . It doesn’t suddenly activate but lets you choose your destination so you can cancel it . ”
Ah, a spell to return home .
Isn’t that the most Lifestyle Magic-like spell up until this point?
But, won’t my home be My World?
“「Home Return」!”
Hn? What’s with all these .
“Miri … this . Your name is here too . ”
“Yeah . That is a spell to transfer to the user’s home or to the home of a person of the opposite gender who has goodwill/affection towards the user . The return point differs among people and Norn would probably want to return to Florence but I don’t intend to do that so mine is probably set to the former pirate hideout I slept at until this morning?”
“Ah … so that’s how it works . ”
I see, it is a spell to warp to the house of a person of the opposite gender who has goodwill/affection towards me .
I see I see . Although I get along well with Kannon and Stella, it is not to the extent of goodwill/affection .
” ― Isn’t it that kind of magic after all!”
And also ―
“Why is Margaret-san considered as the opposite gender! That guy is the same gender as me!”
My angry shouts reverberated inside the Goddess Statue room .
