The first page of the book Ganshu handed was filled with the nas of various gods.
Starting with the nas I rembered perfectly, to those lesser-known gods with trivial powers.
As I was checking their nas, I unconsciously looked up.
Was Ganshu really serious about this? I was about to ask him that.
Maybe he understood the aning of my gaze. Ganshu shrugged and flashed an annoying grin.
“Do you doubt whether I can truly provide this?”
“Isn’t it obvious? How could a worthless brat like you possibly give the powers of other la gods?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I’m not giving it to you. It’s the gods you ntioned, the la ones, who will have no choice but to give it to you.”
The mont I saw Ganshu’s sly grin, I understood what he was trying to do.
It made sense because what he was about to do wasn’t much different from what I was planning to do.
Hmmm. If this annoying brat is saying this much, he must be able to get so kind of power.
He’s the one holding the weaknesses and secrets of all the gods, so I could trust him in these shady matters.
But there’s sothing strange about this.
“Creep. Why isn’t there a useless god in here? That perverted bastard’s weaknesses should be overflowing.”
“...You’re not afraid of divine punishnt? Even if you’re receiving the attention of the gods.”
“Why? Isn’t it true that the useless god is perverted and incompetent? How much have I suffered because of that damn god? You can’t even say that?”
Thinking of all the things I had endured because of that useless god made my teeth grind.
He’d act like a god at important tis, so I couldn’t just quit being his servant, but that didn’t an I could forget all the awful things he’d done.
No! Honestly! For a perverted bastard who wanted to dress up his servant in a bunny girl outfit and send ssages like ‘tokki tokki,’ I think this is still being kind!
As I expressed my genuine disgust, Ganshu mumbled sothing under his breath, then wiped his face.
“Should I call this boldness? Or should I call it a lack of thought?”
“Isn’t it just because the creepy brat is a coward who’s trembling in front of soone stronger?”
“It makes realize once again how rciful the great gods are.”
I couldn’t understand Ganshu, who was shaking his head in that way.
What the hell had the useless god been doing for Ganshu to react like this?
How well does that perverted bastard pretend to be kind?!
Can’t he at least pretend to be decent to ? Why is he doing weird stuff to his own servant?
“Anyway, I have no intention of defying the great gods. So let’s just move past this part.”
“Scared little coward. You really aren’t just holed up reading books for no reason.”
“Should I take that book back from you?”
“Go ahead. If you do, I’ll walk around and tell everyone how pathetic and petty the history nerd is. Your gods will love that, right? Huh?”
“...Damn.”
After hearing Ganshu curse, I let go of the anger that had been building up and sat down in a suitable chair, opening the book.
There were quite a few skills that imdiately ca to mind.
But there was no reason not to look at the book, right?
I only know about the blessings from the ga, but Ganshu is different.
I’ll have to ask many gods for blessings in the future, so it’s better to know what powers they have.
With that thought in mind, I opened the book, and naturally, I beca engrossed in it.
Most of it was stuff I knew, but there were also things I didn’t.
Blessings like “Balance,” which helps you take the optimal position in any situation, or “Battle Precognition,” which lets you see a few moves ahead during combat. “The Beloved One,” which grants affection from strangers, and “Beast Instincts,” which sharpens your intuition.
There were many other interesting blessings written in the book.
“If only I had studied like this back then.”
While I was doing my best to absorb important information, Ganshu started nagging beside .
I turned my gaze toward him and glared, but Ganshu just shrugged as if nothing was wrong.
Ugh, the more I see him, the more he’s starting to annoy .
When I first saw him, he had that hero-like, elder vibe, but now he’s just becoming a ss.
“Heh. Ruel, you’ve changed a lot.”
I wondered if I was the only one thinking like this when Ganshu let out a faint laugh.
“It's been a long ti since then.”
“If you were like this back then, you might’ve heard sothing more human-like.”
“…Those tis were really tough, weren't they?”
When I saw Ganshu’s expression darken slightly, I slamd the book shut with a loud bang.
“What are you doing?! Aren’t you afraid you’ll damage the book?”
“Are you seriously freaking out just because the book might get a little damaged? How petty can a god be? The gods beneath you must feel sorry for you.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Forget it. But I’ve decided what I want, so hand it over.”
“You arrogant!... Huuu. Fine. Just say it already.”
“Crisis Detection.”
Crisis Detection is one of the powers granted to a servant by the god of martial arts.
When sothing dangerous approaches the user, the user will sense it before they even realize it themselves and act accordingly.
This skill also reduces the perceived ti until the danger is avoided, and it was one of the biggest reasons I was debating between the god of martial arts and Ganshu.
“Of all gods, it had to be that wild beast? I don’t really want to deal with him.”
“You said you could give anything. Are you just bluffing? Now you're making excuses and acting pathetic.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to deal with him, I just don’t like him.”
“Really? You sure about that? You look like you're sweating and throwing excuses around.”
“Leave now. And never co back. Talking to you gives a headache.”
When Ganshu waved his hand in a dismissive way, a huge book appeared above my head.
I thought it might be dangerous, but by then, it was already too late. The white pages of the giant book seed to crash down on .
“Yaaaah!?”
With a scream, I suddenly stood up, looked around, and sighed in relief. Thankfully, I had returned to that room from yesterday.
“Heh. Heh heh.”
Hearing the laughter beside , I slowly turned my head and saw Joy, who was covering her mouth with the back of her hand while laughing.
She gave a sly smile, noticing my slightly flushed cheeks.
“It’s cute how you make those noises, my lady.”
“...Keep doing that, and I’ll make you make a cute sound too.”
“No pinching! If you do that, it’ll really hurt, my lady!”
I glared at her as I clenched and unclenched my hand, and Joy recoiled, shaking her head. Tch.
It’s a sha. I was thinking of rcilessly pulling her soft cheeks.
When I pouted, Joy let out a light laugh and exhaled softly.
“I’m glad you’re looking healthy. I was really worried when you collapsed yesterday.”
“Yeah, looking back, it was pretty creepy. I had perverts all around then.”
“Heh heh. Don’t worry. Nothing happened.”
I asked Joy various things.
Arthur and Freya had gone outside to spar under Kal’s teachings.
Feivy was helping people at the church since he was staying here.
“And the forest rulers are waiting for you, my lady. They want to repay you in so way.”
“Those pathetic, useless ones. Are they both okay?”
“Yes. They both recovered fully after the miracle you perford.”
So, my efforts weren’t in vain. I’m glad…
“Joy, hasn’t that virgin tree said anything?”
“…Well, from what I saw, it seems like they don’t rember what happened back then.”
Phew. That’s a relief. If they had rembered everything I said back then, it would have been hard to face them.
Okay. Let’s go et them. I’m excited to see those bears’ soft faces.
I’ll tease them a bit before asking for the blessings.
As I was thinking that and about to stand up, I noticed Joy hesitating.
What’s up? Why does she seem like she’s hesitating?
It looks like she wants to say sothing.
Ah. Okay. Let’s use that skill Ganshu gave .
I need to see if it works properly in the real world.
I ntally asked the skill for advice on why Joy was acting like this, and a blue screen appeared in front of .
[Title]
What the skill told was very simple, but it was to the point.
When it cos to titles, this was all there was.
“Clumsy Joy. Are you upset because I didn’t call you by na?”
“No! That’s not it!”
Really? For soone who says no, your smile seems to loosen up a bit, doesn’t it?
“Are you sure? Then it’s fine if I just keep calling you Clumsy, right?”
“...Yes.”
“Honestly, if you don’t tell the truth, I’m not going to call you anything. I’ll treat you like usual. Are you sure?”
“Ughh.”
“Alright then. Clumsy lady. I was planning to ask you to call by my na too.”
“…My na?”
“It wouldn’t be fair if I just called you by your na, right? Since I’m such a good person, I was going to give you the opportunity to call by mine. Why? Don’t want to?”
“No! I never said I didn’t want to!”
“Really? Then go ahead, call .”
I smiled widely as I watched Joy, her face turning red. She nervously opened and closed her mouth before finally whispering.
“…Ruel.”
“What? Clumsy Joy’s voice is too quiet, I can’t hear it.”
“Ruel! Is that better?”
“Ha ha. Yeah. Good job. Now bow your head. I’ll pat you.”
“I don’t need that!”
