「Oh, that clears it」
「Congratulations, Momo-chan」
「Kii」
Momo-chan, who had been playing Solitaire, successfully cleared it. How wonderful.
「Alright then, Momo-chan, next let’s try FreeCell… Ah, an email just arrived」
「Hmm, finally」
The three of us, Yggdrasil-san, Momo-chan, and I, had been spending a peaceful time playing in the room when a D-mail arrived from Nana-san.
「So then, what did Mikoto inherit noja?」
「Ah, judging from this, it seems she plans to report everything」
「Everything? All of the appraisal results?」
「That seems to be the case」
It was supposed to be a quick email reporting Mikoto-san’s inherited skill, the thing we were most curious about. But it seems she plans to send all the appraisal results instead. Nana-san is quite thorough.
「By the way, is it alright for me to hear this?」
「It seems to be fine. And if possible, she would also like some advice」
「Hmm」
By the way, I had already asked about that too. Before she left, I confirmed with Mikoto-san whether it was alright for me to hear her status.
Mikoto-san casually said 『I don’t mind』. But since I have grown quite used to the way things work in this world, the thought of knowing every detail of Mikoto-san’s status makes me a little nervous.
「Alright then, I’ll announce it. The name is 『Mikoto』, the race is 『God』, and the age is 『Zero years old』, it seems. …Huh? Mikoto-san is also zero years old」
「Hmm. Perhaps it is because she is your summoned beast? The heavenly god Mikoto and the summoned beast Mikoto you have now may be considered different existences」
「I see. That does make sense」
Yes, that explanation works for me. I can accept that. However, I do wonder what Nana-san and Mikoto-san told Laudette-san.
How exactly did they explain a newborn god of zero years old? Perhaps they simply said something like 『She is Yggdrasil-san’s friend』.
「Next, the gender is 『Female』 and the Job is 『God』, it seems. …A job of god sounds pretty incredible」
「Indeed noja…」
If I think about it by the standards of my previous life, it feels like the kind of person who declares their Job as god is someone you should probably avoid.
「For now, that is everything so far」
「Hmm? That is everything?」
「Everything」
The email ends there.
…When I put it like that, it sounds a bit like a horror story.
D-mail and horror. When I hear that combination, I cannot help but remember a certain incident from before.
「For now, I will reply. …Ah, before that, maybe I should write down the appraisal results so far」
「Already done」
「Huh?」
When I heard Yggdrasil-san’s words and lifted my face from the menu, I saw that Momo-chan was taking notes.
「Momo-chan…」
「Kii」
「Thank you, Momo-chan」
「Kii」
What a smart child… And his handwriting is beautiful too.
Well then, while thanking Momo-chan, I should reply to the email.
「Are this paper, pen, and magic bag Momo’s belongings?」
「Yes. A little while ago, I gave Momo-chan a magic bag, some writing tools, and a wallet as a present」
「A wallet?」
「I was thinking of giving him a monthly allowance」
Momo-chan is smart, so if she has writing tools and money, she should be able to go shopping on her own.
「By the way, I gave the same set to Mikoto-san as well」
「Is Mikoto also on an allowance system?」
「Um… yes, well…」
I did not think anything strange about giving Momo-chan an allowance, but when one hear about Mikoto-san, it somehow sounds a little suspicious… Am I overthinking it…?
「Oh, more importantly, Yggdrasil-san, a new email has arrived」
「Hmm, is that so. Next should be the level and stat values, perhaps?」
「It seems so. I will read it then. Momo-chan, are you ready as well?」
「Kii」
After confirming that Momo-chan had her notes ready, I began reading the contents of the newly arrived email.
「First is the level. As expected, Mikoto-san also seems to be 『Lv1』. As for stat values, only 『Strength』 is 2, and the rest are all 1」
「Oh, so Mikoto’s was 『Strength』」
「Yes, that is correct, but…」
「Hmm?」
「There is also a statement from Mikoto-san criticizing Yggdrasil-san, saying 『If possible, I would have preferred the gift to be magic power instead』」
「Even though it was not me…」
I had already told Nana-san and Mikoto-san about the 『Divine Tree-sama’s Gift』.
They still do not know that it was actually propaganda from the church.
「For now, that is the end of the email, so I will reply with 『You should be grateful just to receive a gift at all』 and smooth things over」
「Smooth things over? …Wait, you will not deny the part about the gift?」
「No, it is probably better not to tell them about this…」
「Is that so…? I do not think it would cause any particular problem…」
At the very least, I think it would be better not to loudly shout things like 『Divine Tree-sama’s Gift is a complete lie』. If things go badly, I might end up facing an inquisition.
「Now that I know the truth, does that not put me in quite a dangerous position…?」
「It would not be a problem…」
I wonder if that is really the case. I hope it is…
For now, I will keep it from the two of them. If it comes down to it and I end up in court, shouting 『There is no such thing as the Divine Tree-sama’s Gift』 can be my job alone.
「Ah, I already sent the reply email. Momo-chan, are you okay?」
「Kii」
It seems he is fine. In fact, when I glanced at Momo-chan’s notes, he had properly written down items like 『Magic Power』 and 『Vitality』 that I had not even mentioned aloud, with the number 1 written beside them. Momo-chan is incredibly smart.
「Well then, that leaves only the skills. This is a little nerve-wracking. I wonder which skill she inherited」
「Indeed. What will it be, I wonder」
「I really hope it is not the 『Fire Magic』 skill. 『Fire Magic』 cannot be used in the forest, so honestly it is very inconvenient. I hope she inherited something other than 『Fire Magic』…」
「Something other than 『Fire Magic』?」
「Yes. Anything but 『Fire Magic』」
「Ah, that is the thing you often talk about, right? What was it called… 『flag』?」
「…………」
I have planted strange knowledge in Yggdrasil-san… And honestly, I wish she would stop. That kind of thing is bad luck.
「While we are talking about it, another email just arrived」
「Nana is quite fast at typing emails…」
「Let’s see… It seems there are two skills. The first skill is 『God』」
「Just like Momo’s 『Giant Rat』 skill. Mikoto’s is the 『God』 skill」
「It seems so」
Still, when I hear something like a God skill, it sounds extremely useful.
Let us hope that the 『God』 skill really is a godlike skill.
「And surprisingly, this 『God』 skill is apparently level 2」
「Hmm? Is that so? Level 2 right from the start?」
「It seems Mikoto-san has the title 『God』, and that might be the reason」
「Oh」
Just like when I obtained the title 『Dungeon Master』 and gained the 『Dungeon』 skill, Mikoto-san possessed the title 『God』 and therefore gained the 『God』 skill.
On top of that, since Mikoto-san’s race is 『God』, she gained the 『God』 skill from that as well.
Because she met two conditions for obtaining the 『God』 skill, Nana-san and Mikoto-san concluded that this might be why the 『God』 skill started at level 2.
「Now that you mention it, the reason her Job is also 『God』 must be because the skill level is 2」
「Indeed. If the 『God』 skill were only level 1, her Job would likely have been 『God Apprentice』」
Momo-chan ended up with the unfortunate treatment of being 『undeniably a giant rat, yet a giant rat apprentice』, but it seems Mikoto-san managed to avoid that.
「Now then, it is finally time for II skill」
「Indeed. The moment has come」
「Mikoto-san’s second skill, in other words the skill she inherited from me is――――the 『Hammer』 skill!」
「A hammer, huh」
「It seems to be a hammer」
A hammer. I see, Mikoto-san inherited the 『Hammer』 skill…
How should I put it, that is quite unexpected.
Not long ago I spent all that time carefully analyzing the pattern of how the 『Dungeon』 skill was inherited. What was that all for…? I was certain it was a flag, but apparently not…
And the 『Fire Magic』 flag from earlier was also neatly avoided.
「Hmmm… Ah, thank you Momo-chan」
Momo-chan handed me the paper where she had copied down Mikoto-san’s appraisal results. Thank you, Momo-chan.
According to the memo Momo-chan organized, Mikoto-san’s appraisal results are:
Name: Mikoto
Race: God Age: 0 Gender: Female
Job: God
Level: 1
Strength: 2
Magic Power: 1
Vitality: 1
Dexterity: 1
Agility: 1
Skills:
God Lv2 Hammer Lv1
Title:
God
「There really are a lot of 『God』 entries in this appraisal result… The word 『God』 appears four times」
「Well, she is a god after all」
I suppose that is true. We did just appraise a real god, so perhaps this result makes sense…
「Aside from the god parts, the things that stand out are the 『Hammer』 skill and the Strength value of 2」
「Indeed」
「Does this mean Mikoto-san will start swinging a hammer around and fighting from now on…?」
Will she become the kind of tough, physical labor type of fighter who relies on brute strength…?
「Perhaps. Since she has the skill, it would be best to make use of it」
「That is true… Though somehow it does not feel very goddess-like」
Ah, but Mikoto-san did punch that mushroom with her bare hands in her very first fight.
In that case, maybe it is not so strange after all…
Come to think of it, she did bring down a divine hammer back then.
Maybe that divine hammer was activating the 『Hammer』 skill too…?
