Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 32

Chapter 32 – I Don’t Even Hesitate!

It wasn’t clear whether that ruin was forgotten by the people will or because it got buried by the natural flow of time.

“To open a door which haven’t been opened for decades. Adventuring a forgotten ruin. That was exactly the very romance of a treasure hunter. Adventurous spirit is something important that should never be thrown out!”

It was Renya and Therese who keep on getting all excited. Although the two have their own different reasons for it.

For Therese, it was her desire to pursuit a practical use from the ancient technology, as well as her own mecha-fetish disposition.

They don’t know how big the ruin will be like so they carefully getting their preparation ready to face any danger that they might encounter in their expedition. Renya and his party split the job and go into the business district to gather their necessities. The party knows how much Renya is hyped for this. And by the way, Renya is shopping together only with Therese now.

If they really can do with their god powers then why bother doing this kind of preparation then? When asked that Renya just answer that it was for the sake of enjoying the whole activity. It was said that preparing for the festival is even more fun than doing the festival itself. That was the mental state that Renya wish to achieve. Renya himself had gotten some cheat class preparation as well just in case but he will only use it accordingly so it wouldn’t ruin the fun of exploring.

The reason he done this entire troublesome thing is because he desires the fun that it will bring after in the exploration.

That kind of inconvenience can be somehow be supplemented with his knowledge and technique. But there also time where only knowledge and technique couldn’t cover up the inconveniences or when it can, but it requires a lot of time to get it work. In such time, Renya would just use his divine power to solve every problem he had.

That’s why, the unknown ruin exploration in which originally a dangerous life risking activity only is considered as a fun camping expedition for him. Seeing his carefree attitude when shopping shows how much his confidence is as a god.

Normally it would take 8 days to do one way travel to the ruin. But because they don’t know how much time will spend for the exploration, Renya planned to just ‘jump’ there with his divine power. He can fly already so why he still desires that flying ship is what most people would think of him. But it was an ancient ship and a flying fortress at the same time. How could it not tickle Renya’s romance?

He also has a very honest answer regarding his behavior now for over preparing. That reason is that because he is after all feel bad just taking the prize money from the king like that so he wants to at least return some of them into the market to make business thrive. With that, he can feel a bit better with receiving the reward. But then again, that reason is somewhat cheap for a divinity like him. Well, again, he was a human once so it can’t be helped.

They buy preserved food, water, and camping goods. The one that they have been using until now is replaced with a new one and if there anything that they didn’t have enough then they will supplement those. Especially for tools useful in exploration, they managed to collect a good amount of useful items thanks to Therese knowledge. Anyhow at the moment, Renya party had never really done any dungeon exploration before so they lacked knowledge in this area. The most that they have done is just around subjugate monster or brigand hiding inside a small cave only.

“Now that I think about it, the girls in our party each and every of them can really cook well right?”

“I don’t think so, Therese. If it was limited only to food cooked under the circumstances of camping in the wild then I think that Therese cooking is number one you know?”

Indeed like what Therese said, Elvira’s cooking is among the best if compared to the other girls. As she is from a race that has long life, she had perfected her skill through long years of training. And the facts that she herself like cooking and have a meticulous personality just add more punch to her cooking. There is no one else that can stand head to head with her in front of her vast variation cooking recipes. Even when she only use common cheap ingredient that were sold in the market, the taste is comparable, if not better, to the most luxurious feast that the royalty usually had. The first time Elvira presents her cooking to the party everyone can only gasp in awe.

For Floria… she is the number one oddball in the party. She is after all a goddess that has knowledge that transcendence many parallel worlds giving her much bizarre knowledge where she mixes them all into her cooking. She doesn’t abide to any rules or technique. She only uses her own instinct and creativity into her cooking that make it seems dynamic. And the scariest thing is that, she never fails with her cooking ever. Renya even began to wonder whether it was because she is a goddess that her cooking will always comes out good. So one day, he asked her about it.

It was the person herself pet phrases about her cooking. Because of that, even when she cooked a same kind of food, it always tastes slightly different from each other. It was in itself a bizarre kind of cooking and Renya also seems to approve it.

Since Therese joined the party, Renya party had experienced a great deal of improvement in their camping department that is for sure.

“But well, I won’t rank whose cooking is superior. You girls have your own peculiar tastes and I am already satisfied with that”

“Therese really is a good honest girl as usual. Okay, then as a reward, let me pat your head”

Therese immediately hides her head with both of her hand.

“It’s okay right? Permission granted right? Okay! There there~”

But rampaging Renya is unstoppable. Even when he shouldered a heavy luggage with one hand, he still skillfully uses his left hand to pats Therese cute head even when she is running around to avoid him. Eventhough he was a total herbivore who don’t know how to treat a lady when he first come to this world, he had matures so much that he now can be assertive when treating a lady.

“Uuuu…… Even when oniisan pats me forcefully like that I can’t even hate it desu… I feel ashamed to myself desu……”

“It is because I feel that oniisan treated me like a kid desu, I don’t want that desu”

“Eeh?”

“I don’t hate it but that is why I feel conflicted by it desu……”

“U-n… I understand! If that’s how it is then I don’t have any problem desu! Ehehe~”

=*=

Renya quickly sort the things he bought. He wants to quickly store the perishable food into his own world (inventory) so he could keep the freshness at its best. But because of his action it made him made quite a lot noise. Therese who had been peeking at Brenda’s condition quickly turned to Renya while putting her index finger on her lips signing Renya to keep the noise down.

Hearing that, Renya also looks at her. Sure enough when he looks at Brenda closely, she is nodding off while still maintaining her reading position. In this few days she had been working hard to learn and research new magic by secluding herself in the library so she must be tired. Not wanting to disturb her, Therese is being tact and leaves the room silently. There is still some time before it gets dark so she wants to spend some time at the royal library.

After finishing sorting and storing his item, Renya got nothing left to do so he just sit close to Brenda and look at her thoroughly. He erases his own presence using his divine power and even mutes his footstep sound. In this condition now, he is the perfect stalker.

Renya don’t know the standard of the magician in this world so once he asked someone from the magician guild about how much Brenda true capability was.

To add to that, Brenda’s teacher is also a powerful being that ability even rivals the guild master meaning that her learning environment is also one of the best there is. Not stopping at that, she is also a hard worker that can even be considered greedy in excelling her skill. With her being like that, a lot of people can’t help but to expect great things from her. Of course envy, jealousy, and even scorn also come with her being young and also a woman at that.

But well, that was in then end only a mere thought from a mortal. For Renya who is a god, a magician as strong as Brenda is reduced into a mere beautiful girl in his eyes. She is dependable, the number one wisdom bag of the party, Renya’s stopper when he is about to get wild, and she still has many other good factor to prove her worth in the party. But even if she is a very capable party member, Renya can’t deny that the most important factor for him is her beautiful appearance. Her expression was usually cool and calm unperturbed by anything so seeing her unusual innocent sleeping face like this reminds Renya of that fact.

Even if they sleep together in one big room nowadays, Renya is bad at waking up in the morning. He always wakes up the latest from other party member so he can’t examine their sleeping face like this.

That is of course a normal reaction if you watch someone sleeping face too close like that. To make it worse, that sleeping face belongs to Brenda who is a super beauty at that so it can’t be helped really.

“…… e?”

Suddenly Brenda opens her eyes.

Their eyes gaze at each other at point blank range.

Renya analyze his situation from an objective point of view in an instant. And the result is:

And that conclude his analysis. He doesn’t feel like making any excuse for it. It is the truth that he is giving in to wicked thought so he will accept anything that will befall him. ‘Will I get blown up? Oh please blow me up without holding back’ is what Renya thinks inside steeling himself. He then keeps his silent waiting for Brenda reaction.

“I can’t help giving in to wicked thought in my heart and get charmed by your sleeping face. Sorry”

“…… Sigh……. I understand, I already understand so get back okay. Haa…… I don’t even feel like getting angry over it”

“If that’s what you want then I will not hold back you know? Of course while using a full powered strengthening magic at it”

Renya hurriedly get back sitting on his chair but Brenda’s face is all red. And that redness seems to be not only coming from anger. Even when her expression gets back to her usual cool and calm one, there’s a faint trace of a blooming maiden delicate emotions hidden within.

It was impossible to not fretting over when the guy she has interest in suddenly appears in point blank range in front of you. And from the look of it, that guy almost kissed her so that even gives more strain inside her heart. But she managed to get herself together almost without panicking. That shows how strong her self-control is. Brenda then casually put the book she was reading aside and once again looks back at Renya.

Her expression is somewhat bashful and her gaze is like shouting her protest but it is instead looks cute for Renya. He doesn’t say it out loud though, as if he were to say so he will definitely receive punishment from Brenda this time.

“Even if you say that…… The other member beside me, all of them are extraordinary. I don’t want to be everyone baggage you know?”

That pure fire power is like the destruction power of offense magic, or the hardness of defense magic, or to what extend the injury can heals if it was restoration magic, and other such things. Because there is just too much to master, most of them just become a jack of all trades and a master of none.

But among those ordinary jack of all trades, Brenda can exhibit high effects with her magic even when she commands a wide range variety of magic. She had the talent to even beat those specialist magicians in their own game. Renya even feel amazed by how she work so hard then he even teases Brenda how far would she really go with her talent like that.

That is how she returns his question complete with a bitter smile decorating her face.

“Well, it was also thanks to you getting fatigued from your hard work that I can examine your sleeping face closely like that so I guess all is well”

“I really thought it was bad, I swear I was. But… you know……”

“There is a cute beautiful girl sleeping in front of me so of course I would look! And without any hesitation at that!”

Brenda is used to being praised as beautiful. But that praise all of them seems shallow or even artificial. It can’t be compared to Renya’s straight compliment that is plastered all over with his own lust which he doesn’t even try to hide. Renya’s straight compliment stuck deep and wriggle deep in her heart tickles her insides. Even worse is because she knows that his word all came straight from his heart.

“This meek Brenda is also cute <3”

“You feel that much of embarrassment that you even forcefully change the topic?...... Okay then from now on let’s tease you - I’m sorry it’s only a joke, it’s only a joke okay? So please withdraw your magic power okay? Okay?”

In truth, with only Brenda ability, she can’t possibly be a worthy opponent to Renya. Both of them understand this. But even with that understanding, Renya still can’t help but t lower his head to Brenda. Somewhere inside his head, no matter how much he is way stronger than Brenda, he still doesn’t feel like winning from her at all. He doesn’t know when or why this kind of feeling toward Brenda had born.

“So next time I compliment you, I must take consideration to the mood too right? Now I understand”

The pink in Brenda’s cheek turned madly red because of Renya further remarks. She then retaliates to Renya like a little girl throwing a tantrum by hitting Renya’s chest again and again. Therese who just get back from borrowing some books from the royal library incidentally saw the scene and can only tilted her head cutely in confusion.

Author notes: Rather than saying Therese is a heroine, she is our mascot! Even I as the author just know this when I update this chapter today.

I was first writing the talk between Brenda and Renya to be a serious talk about magic and other related things. But that would be too boring so I rewrites it and it comes out to be like this. How could this happen?
