Chapter 84

"…………Goddess……"

When I saw the person in front of me, I couldn't help but think it was really her.

She was the most goddess-like of the six goddesses I had seen in the church.

There she was, right in front of me.

"If you would like, you can also call your companions. I just saw the Book of Creation you have there."

The Book of Creation…?

Is that the name of this book?

Glancing at the book on the ground, I listened to her.

"If you have a permit, you can also call your companions."

"You didn't come here to punish me, did you? If I don't know your purpose, I can't call my companions."

The Goddess of Order and Balance, which means the goddess who governs the balance of the world.

Even with Koshomare's approval, my job as an Unemployed and its skills are more than enough to disrupt the world's balance.

Worst case, a battle might break out—or even worse, I might be killed without a fight. I can't call three people.

"I didn't come here to punish you. I came to reveal the full nature of the Unemployed skill, which shouldn't exist. Koshomare and Treerules share the same view. I came to impose constraints on you in this world."

I sighed with relief at her words.

"I understand. Then—"

I decided to change my job to Magic Specialization, increase my MP, and create the permits.

The permits are like stickers, all marked with a "★" symbol.

Lady Riberia explained that you can stick the sticker anywhere on your body, but not on your clothes.

I made three, and my MP was instantly drained by 300, leaving me exhausted.

I took a deep breath to steady myself.

"Then, I'll be off."

I put my hand into the tear in space and returned to the inn.

When I got back to the inn, the three were waiting patiently.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. It seems that if you stick this sticker anywhere on your body, you can enter."

I handed the star-shaped stickers to the three.

Haru stuck it on the back of his hand, and Caro stuck it on the top of her foot.

Once stuck, the stickers seemed to melt into the skin like paint stickers.

"Can these be easily removed?"

"Well, yes, they can be easily removed if you want to. But they won't fall off even if you move your hands vigorously."

Haru tried to remove the sticker and shake his hand, but the sticker didn't budge.

"Hey, Marina, where did you stick yours?"

She had stuck it on her left cheek.

"Hmm, I actually wanted a sticker like this."

"Totally for fashion."

Well, it's not a problematic sticker even if it's seen.

"Alright, let's go. When we get there, there will be someone waiting, so make sure to greet them properly."

The three seemed puzzled by my mention of "someone waiting."

※※※

When we arrived, Haru and Caro both greeted properly, almost prostrating themselves.

They were on their knees with their heads bowed.

"Hmm… one of the goddesses, interesting."

"…Hey."

I made a cute sound and took off Marina's mask.

Marina's face turned pale, and she performed a perfect prostration. If I had to give it a score, it would be close to perfect.

"That's everyone, Lady Riberia."

"You've done well, Ichinoshou."

"Um… Lady Riberia. I've been wondering, and now it doesn't really matter, but my name is Ichinosuke, not Ichinoshou. Can't it be corrected?"

"No, your name is Ichinoshou. It's unexpected here, but it seems to be related to the customs of your world. Yes, you should ask Minerva about that. She's the expert."

"Minerva?"

"The goddess of magic, sorcery, and witchcraft."

"Can I meet her?"

"Yes, there are multiple labyrinths of hers in the southern continent. I'll arrange for you to meet her if you visit there."

It seems my name is Ichinoshou, not Ichinosuke, and the reason is not something I can be told. Well, it doesn't really matter to me anymore.

"Then, Ichinoshou and your companions. What I'm about to say must never be told to anyone else. Do you understand?"

In response to Lady Riberia's question, the three of us nodded.

Marina nodded so vigorously it looked like she might fall over.

"Ichinoshou, the space you created with the 'Hikikomori' skill—"

At Lady Riberia's words, Marina's gaze turned to me.

I put on a show. I lied and said it was My World. Yes, it's Hikikomori.

"This space is of the same kind as our goddesses' domains."

I wasn't too surprised by her words.

Looking up, I saw a white expanse, and I thought, it's like the world of a god.

"Fortunately, Ichinoshou quickly created a star and imposed restrictions, which restored the world's balance and took it out of the realm of the gods. This is a good thing for me, for you, and for us goddesses."

"Wait a minute, what? This is the same kind as the realm of the gods, isn't it just an extension of an item bag or a space magic skill?"

"Do you know how much capacity an item bag has, Ichinoshou?"

"No, I don't."

"Azawald… the capacity is equivalent to your entire planet."

"…What?"

The capacity of a planet, which is practically infinite.

"But this world—this world you created—has no limits. It's a universe."

"A… universe?"

"Yes. Compared to this world, the capacity of an item bag is virtually zero."

Lady Riberia was saying that 1/∞ and 100 trillion/∞ are both virtually zero.

"Then, does that mean you've become a god, Master?"

Haru asked, tense. But Lady Riberia shook her head.

"No, the one who created this world is not Ichinoshou. There is something else that tinkered with the Unemployed skill and created a link between the Unemployed skill and this world. Ichinoshou only created the door. Even this planet was not created by Ichinoshou."

Lady Riberia smiled.

"However, this planet is now yours, Ichinoshou. You can use it as you please. I will use my power to create a barrier around this planet to protect you from the true creator of this world, and I will ensure that the Book of Creation can be used as it is. In return—"

She extended her hand, and a staff appeared. She pointed the tip at an empty space.

Suddenly, a white building like an observatory appeared.

"I will create a base to observe this world. I will visit occasionally, so please understand that."

"I understand. Thank you."

"No, thank you for your cooperation, Ichinoshou."

Lady Riberia said this, walked away, and gradually faded until she disappeared.

Haru and Caro, who had been tense, stood up ten seconds later.

Marina… had fainted.

The goddess's secret base is complete.

By the way, Kakuyomu is opening today.

I'm also active there. I started writing this work simultaneously with the growth cheat. I plan to write at my own pace after 100,000 words, but if you have the chance, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look.
