Chapter 62

Volume 2 is now on sale and has been adapted into a manga!

And with this, the magic chapter concludes. The next chapter will be a new beginning. I'll do my best to update.

Chapter 59

"‘Toy’!"

I activated the ‘Toy’ ability on the vacuum cleaner, mop, broom, and dustpan, creating specialized cleaning dolls.

"Alright, the vacuum cleaner will handle the first floor, the broom and dustpan will collect the trash on the second floor. Half of the mops will do wet cleaning, and the rest will handle dry cleaning. Thoroughly clean the floors and furniture. Go!"

The dolls, following my orders, ran around the house. The ‘Toy’ ability is really convenient.

"Hmm... Is there something on my face?"

"No, there isn't."

"Kaa"

"Dirty things cannot be seen."

"Is that so? Then why do you keep looking at me?"

I was cleaning the house, thinking about the discussion with the class president and Soji, which was to take place here. However, Kuro, Shiro, and Nia kept staring at me.

"There's something that's been bothering me."

"Bothering you?"

"Yes. As I mentioned before, I can't sense any spiritual energy from you. Yet, you can use various ‘techniques’ without any issues. Shiro and Nia and I discussed this and concluded that you might possess an unknown power different from spiritual energy."

It seems they had been observing me closely, considering the possibility that I possess a miracle energy other than spiritual energy.

"Actually, I've been faintly sensing your power for a while. Since the battle with the transformation ability user, I've been able to feel it more strongly. Shiro and Nia have also been sensing it faintly for some time."

"Kakakaka"

"Though not as much as Kuro, I can sense it a little."

I see. I haven't been aware of it myself, but if Kuro and the others feel this way, it might be true that I'm using a different kind of power.

"I've been able to use techniques and abilities without any issues, so I haven't really thought much about it. But this is quite an important issue."

"I observed the moment you used the ‘Toy’ ability just now, and it felt like the unknown power was being converted into spiritual energy. I thought it might be a similar type of energy to spiritual energy or life force, but that's all I could determine."

"I see, thanks for looking into it. I should have done it myself, but I haven't really paid attention."

I've been too preoccupied with various events and haven't given much thought to myself. I need to reflect on this.

"…Yeah. Demons, shikigami, robots, and spirits. Kuro and the others are quite mysterious, but when I think about it calmly, I'm also quite mysterious."

Actually, I might be the most mysterious.

Besides the miracle energy different from spiritual energy or magic, there are still many mysteries about this body that the god brought back to life.

The god said, "I'll enhance your physical abilities and improve your skill acquisition ability," and then added, "As a bonus, I'll grant you a little of my power. You'll figure out how to use it eventually."

In other words, the ‘acquisition ability’ is an enhanced version of my original ability, and the power granted by the god is a separate entity.

I had forgotten about the ‘acquisition ability’ because it was so strong.

"I've just realized this. My existence is the most fantastical."

"I agree. I've lived a long time, but I haven't encountered anyone as mysterious as you… No, I think I did meet one person."

"Really? You did?"

"Yes… I can't remember, it might have been a fluke."

A fluke, huh. Well, the world is vast, so it's not surprising if there are others like me. The god mentioned that there are many other gods, and Japan is said to have eight million gods. It might be an exaggeration, but it's possible.

"Alright, it doesn't matter. I don't think we'll find the answer by thinking about it now. The mystery of the miracle energy will be revealed someday. I have a feeling about it."

"You're right. It's not a matter of life or death. We'll continue to observe it slowly."

"Kakaka"

"That's right."

"Wait, observe?"

In the end, I spent the whole day being watched by Kuro, Shiro, and Nia.

They seem more interested in the true nature of the miracle energy than I am.

"Could you help with the cleaning, too…?"

"Sorry, I'll help."

"Kakaka"

"Understood. I'll borrow the cleaning dolls."

Being watched doesn't bother me, so I let them help with the cleaning.

Shiro is using a toothbrush and vibration control to quickly clean the sink drain and the stubborn grime on the gas stove. Nia is connected to the cleaning dolls, efficiently cleaning the entire house. They work more carefully and quickly than when I command them. Kuro is supporting Shiro and Nia, skillfully using his tail to lift small objects and sometimes transforming into a lion to easily carry large appliances.

By the way, Rin and Uru, who hate cleaning, have escaped, claiming they're going for a walk. They probably went to the nearby park or to the neighbor's house.

"Hmm?"

"Kuro, what's wrong?"

Suddenly, Kuro stopped and stared at the back of the second floor. What's going on? It's scary…

"I've been sensing a strange presence from the storage room at the back of the second floor. It feels similar to yours, but upon closer inspection, it seems different… Anyway, I can sense some kind of presence."

"Some kind of presence?"

I often open the storage room on the second floor, so there shouldn't be anyone hiding there.

"Let's check it out just to be safe."

"I've never been in there. What do you keep in there?"

"Just old furniture and appliances we don't use anymore. There should also be my grandfather's collection of antiques."

Like vases, scrolls, and swords?

"Ah!"

"What's wrong?"

I remembered! There's a very important item stored in the storage room. The presence might be related to that.

"In that storage room… Huh!?"

"I just heard a definite sound."

"A suspicious sound came from the storage room."

"Kakaka"

Noticing the abnormality, Nia and Shiro also rushed over.

"I completely overlooked it. Logically, it shouldn't be possible for it to have special power."

"What do you mean by ‘it’?"

The important item stored in the storage room is… the letter from the god.
