Volume 1 – Chapter 4

Maia’s eyes were faintly red, probably because she had roughly wiped away her tears.

Seitaro was thinking about it as he moved his body a little away from Maia’s face, which was right in front of his eyes.

If I’m being honest, I think it’s fishy.

A self-proclaimed goddess? Otherworldly?

These are all words that are too much to be taken seriously.

If I were to take such a case to the top, they would probably think I was joking.

In the first place, I am a winning elite company employee. I don’t have the time to go out of my way to deal with someone I don’t know.

(But ……)

“And, of course, I promise to reward you!”

Looking at the silent Seitaro, did she think he was thinking of a way to refuse?

Maia exclaimed as if in a panic.

“Well …… advance money is hard to come by, but I give you the blessing of that …… goddess! It has the power to protect you from malice and bestow good fortune! And of course, if our business goes well, I will give you as much in return as you desire!”

As much as you desire, huh?

Every word is exaggerated, desperate, and somewhat theatrical, yet it doesn’t sound like a lie.

Seitaro watched Maia without saying a word.

“And of course, even though it is another world, you can always come and go with my power. Just come and see me once! If you want to leave, I’ll let you go! So ……”

(But I don’t hate you.)

From what I’ve heard, I don’t expect to save a decent amount of money. I don’t even know the scale of her cult or whatever it is.

In first place, it’s not something that a decent consultant to even bother with such a shady story.

Still, I was not ready to dismiss this self-proclaimed goddess as a “crazy person.

This woman has not given up yet.

Even if she is at the bottom of the rankings, even if she is ridiculed as a “wacko,” and even if the merchandise business she started with a desperate twist of the head fails spectacularly, she is still trying to get back on his feet.

（That’s what I like about her)

It sounds a lot more interesting than being at the mercy of the company and working at the behest of the bosses, who are just pompous and overbearing.

Another world? A goddess? That’s nice.

I’ll never get another ridiculous and insane job offer like this again.

Just tell the company that I’m there to “investigate a job request”. Whether or not it is actually a job, it is within the scope of business if I’m just going to talk to her.

And if it does……..

(If, in fact, it is a real job…)

I’ll help her to make this shady, shady deal a success.

If I can do that, that will prove my ability.

It would not be a feat like the great military strategists of long ago, but I would be able to accomplish a difficult and complicated project with my own hands.

(I’m sure that’s what I wanted to do.)

Seitaro suddenly realized that Maia was staring at him with serious eyes.

Once again, her eyes, which she had just wiped clean, were starting to water. Whether her tears would well up again depending on his response.

“I understand.”

Shortly, Seitaro answered.

Maia froze in surprise.

“However, first of all, I will talk to you. Let me first confirm whether it will be successful as a job.”

“Oh, really ……?”

Maia’s face lights up.

Seitaro thought that Maia’s expression changed so quickly.

“Then, I’ll take you to my temple right now!!”

“Oh, no, wait. I have some preparations to make.….”

Before he could finish, Maia rushed to him with great speed.

She took Seitaro’s right hand and held it in both of hers as if she was going to hug him.

“What? Um…”

“Please close your eyes!”

Maia looks up and smiles.

Before he could even think about what he was doing, Seitaro was enveloped in a strong light.
