Ch 92 — No More Than 3 Silver Coins Each

“I’ve gotta make an offering to the Goddesses soon or they’re gonna start bothering me again . ” I suddenly realised . It was evening, I’d finished eating, Fer was resting in the inn’s beast stables and Sui was sleeping peacefully in her bag, dreaming away . Better get it over with . I’d just opened Net Super to start selecting items for the offering when a Voice sounded in my head .

“Hoy, other-world-guy-kun, can you hear me? Send us offerings and be quick about it . ” That didn’t sound like Deplorable-sama–

“Is this Agni-sama speaking to me?”

“Yup . ” She sounded impatient but maybe that’s how she always sounded .

“I am just about to get you all some offerings,” I explained . “Please wait a moment . ”

“Right then, and send me two cans of beer like you were drinking earlier . ”

“Hold on, am I supposed to send you alcohol? I thought I was told alcohol was a no-no last time I made an offering . . . ”

“This is Ninril . ” Ah, deplorable goddess-sama, right on cue . “This one time it’s all right, as a special case . But only two cans, mind . ”

A special case? I suppose if it’s like that then it should be fine but– .

“Oh, and while you’re about it, well, you remember that it was me, Ninril, who was the Goddess who first gave you her blessing so, well, because of that I want you to increase the amount of sweets you send us . Dorayaki especially, no limit on those, you know . Oh, but keep this confidential and don’t let the others know I told you to do it . ”

Ninril-sama, what are you asking for this time, and why are you being so sneaky about it? Everyone should get a fair share, that was what you all agreed last time–

“Me, me . Earth Goddess Kishar here . Hey, other-world-guy-kun, it was pretty interesting seeing the stuff you’re selling down there . That soap, shampoo and conditioner and wow! those hair wraps  too . I want you to send some of that to me as well~ . Pleeeease . ” the new voice hesitated for a moment . “Oh, and don’t tell the other Goddesses about this . ”

. . . Kishar-sama, you too? I’m disappointed in you . I thought that Ninril-sama was the only deplorable Goddess . . .

” . . . it’s me, Rusalka . Food looks delicious . I also want to eat food . Give me food . This is a secret . ”

Ruka-sama . . . Are all the Goddesses of this world the same? Are they all deplorable-samas? They’re telling me to send them things and to keep it a secret from the others but–

“Ahem- . Goddess-samas, I hate to break it to you but you’re all demanding special items and wanting me to keep it secret from the others . You do realise that I’ll be sending the offerings all in one go and you’ll all see everything I sent when it arrives?”

There was a long pause .

“Ha-, you got a point” .

“Oops, that’s true . ”

” . . . Eheheh . . . ”

“Hey you lot, what were you trying to pull?” Agni-sama sounded mad .

“No, no, Agni,  it’s just . . . ”

“Oh, ummm, you see, it’s like, you know, ahhh . . . ”

” . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

“You mean that you all requested other things you wanted?” Agni-sama sounded like she was about to blow her top . The Goddess of Fire, did that include volcanoes in her job description? “You sneaky– . Right then, If it’s like that then I get what I want too . ”

“Does that mean alcohol? I’ve told you before why that’s a bad idea . ”

“That’s right, absolutely no alcohol, we agreed you know . ”

” . . . Booze, no good”

“Humph . They asked for what they wanted, why am I in the wrong for doing the same?” I distinctly heard the sound of knuckles cracking . “Right then, other-world-guy-kun, I want alcohol . Beer, premium beer, two cans and right away . ”

“I still say it’s a bad idea . ”

“That’s right, you know . ”

” . . . Not good”

The voices of the selfish Goddess-samas resounded in my aching head . I figured I had to step in or they’d go on arguing like this for eternity with me stuck in the middle listening to them bicker . I shuddered, no way . I tuned them out temporarily while I came up with a plan . Snacks up to three hundred yen? Yeah, that might work, after all they’re acting like elementary schoolkids on a class outing . . .

“Hey hey, everyone quiet down . ” I interrupted . “Last time I made an offering, you all shared what I sent you, right? ”

“No, that’s . . . ”

“But, I want something to make me more beautiful, not just sweets . . . ”

“Sweets are good, but food . . . ”

“Beer and snacks are better than confectionery . . . ”

Huh, everyone wants what they want and they don’t want to share . Elementary schoolkids? Nope, kindergardeners . I sighed .
