Chapter 150 (1/2)

Chapter 150 — Offerings, Delayed

Right then, now we had returned from the dungeon it was time for me to make offerings to the Gods and Goddesses. “Ehhh, can you hear me?” When I called out I received an immediate reply, or rather several overlapping complaints and demands which amounted to the same thing.

“Oh oh oh, I’ve been waiting ever so long you know.”

“You’ve finally returned, have you?”

“C’mon, I’m dying of thirst here.”

“…food, quick”

“Ooooh, I’m tired of waiting.”

“Where were you? Booze, booze, hurry hurry.”

……Well, it looks like they were all eagerly waiting for me to return safely. Nice to be wanted, I suppose.

“You should hurry up and give me what I want, you know!” Ah, Deplorable Goddess-sama, how wonderful it is to hear your screeching voice once again. How I’ve missed it ringing in my ears these past ten days… “You, I saw you eating that ‘Ice Cream’ food in the dungeon! What is it?! Why did you hide such delicious sweetness from me! I want to eat it too you know!!” So Ninril-sama had been keeping a close eye on me, it seemed. Little Miss Nosey-Parker-sama can’t resist snooping on me, can she?

“Yes yes, I understand.” I agreed. The sooner I placated her and got her offering sorted the better. “Since Ninril-sama will want sweets as usual I’ll add some ice cream to the offerings.”

“That’s right, you know.” Ninril-sama agreed smugly. “Sweets as usual and don’t forget the dorayaki, of course.”

Yeah yeah, I got you. I opened Net Super and picked out some ice cream first. This one aaaaand… this one? A six-cup family pack with three different flavours of soft-serve ice cream and another family pack of six chocolate-coated ice cream bars. I bought dorayaki and other cakes and confectionery up to the limit of three silver coins and put them in the cart.

“Next please.” I announced, thinking if I ever returned to my own world and needed to find a part-time job then I’d be a shoo-in for a konbini sales clerk position…

“That will be me.” says Kishar-sama. “That expensive cream you offered last time was soooo good! Just as you said it had a rich variety of ingredients. Can you send me an expensive lotion just like it, please?”

Fuhaha, she was acting just like my elder sister, becoming addicted to more and more expensive cosmetics and on top of that I’m supposed to make recommendations about something I have no real information about? How would I really know how well these creams and lotions work, after all… Well, if it’s got a big price tag then I suppose it’s going to be better quality, like wagyu domestic beef costs more than discount meat in the supermarket chiller.

Lessee, I searched Net Super, looking up my purchase history to find the name of the beauty cream I had bought for Kishar-sama last time. Sure enough there was a matching lotion, three silver coins for a single small tube which I put in my shopping cart for her. I wondered if my sister would have settled for something that cost that little, I could see other items on the Net Super’s “recommended” pages priced a lot higher. It would probably not be a good idea to let Kishar-sama know I was comparing her spending habits to my sister’s, I decided. The Net Super’s range of beauty products seemed to be a bit limited though compared to the range of items I had seen my sister purchase. A real cosmetics store would carry a wider range of more expensive items, I supposed but in this world I only had access to what the Net Super had on offer, of course.
