Mr. Nobu’s Otherworld Chronicles Chapter 74

Tino-chan stood before the G.o.ddess statue as told . Then she took a praying pose .

"One among the six pillar G.o.ds, G.o.ddess Levelitt-sama who governs over growth and talent . Grant your blessings and protections unto your new believer . O you who believe, Tino . Do you swear not to indulge in your talent and continue to grow righteously?"

"Yes, I swear . "

Oh yeah, it was only two months ago that I went through the same thing .

"Do you swear to wield the power obtained from your growth righteously without swerving toward the path of evil?"

"I swear . "

Huh!? Isn't Bell s.h.i.+ning again even stronger now?! It's her! It must be her!!

"『 . . . Do you swear undying loyalty and donations to the n.o.ble righteous and beautiful Levelitt-sama?』"

"You agaiiiiiiiiin!"

"『Ah, n.o.busadkun, howdy』"

"Yeah just like that! Carefree like always!!"

Tino-san was dumbfounded at the sudden happening . Sorry, she may seem shady, but this here is the G.o.ddess you got the baptism from .

"『But for real, you're amazing n.o.busadkun . Thanks so much for securing a new believer as my apostle!』"

"Oh right, you put Apostle (Temp) on me without consulting me first . I'm gonna win the case if I brought this to the court y'know?"

"『Eeh, but you know . Isn't it fine, isn't it just fine . 』"

"Don't try to weasel your way out of this . Geez, you're really a no good G.o.ddess . . . "

"『Mugugu, n.o.busadkun you're as merciless as ever . But that's what make you so t.i.tillating and attractive~』 . "

"So what are you coming down for this time . "

"『Oh so you're just gonna ignore me just like that . . . This onee-san is gonna cry . 』"

She's sending an upward glance while pouting inside Bell's body . But since I'm neither into men nor young boy, I'm splendidly ignoring her once again .

"Yeah yeah, just tell me . It's bad for Bell if you keep that too long right?"

"『Mumwu, and here I was thinking of giving a present to n.o.busadkun who's been working hard in alms giving and securing believers~』"

Hou? Then guess I might as well ask that thing I've been thinking of getting . Got so many questions about skills and stuff after all .

"Then I'd like a chance to talk to you more without using Bell as a medium . "

"『Eh!? n.o.busadkun have you fallen in capital L with me? Iyaan, a forbidden love between man and G.o.ddess♪』"

"I want one hour for giving sermons . A few hours for scolding time, and the entire day and night for fis.h.i.+ng out information . "

I crack my knuckles and purposely grin evilly at Bell .

"『Could it be, violence!? I-I'm against painful things! Ah but I'm OK with soft SM though . 』"

Oy oy, what the heck are you spouting off in front of a kid .

"Jokes aside, I've got many things I want to ask you about . Considering how nonchalantly you've been getting down here, you must know a way to make that a reality right?"

"『Well I do know some, but it's not that easy you know~? We can have this conversation cus' n.o.busadkun is my apostle . 』"

"And here I was thinking of putting in better offerings once I did it (whisper) . "

"『Oh yes, I can descend however much you want if you just make a shrine, even a simple one will do! Come and get me desuyo~』」

Levelitt in Bell's body gave a thumb up with a smile on her whole face . This no G.o.ddess is so quick to give in to her desires .
Apparently a home shrine sized one will do . My mana will be consumed in exchange, but well I've got aplenty of that anyway . Very well then, might as well make something impressive like Izumo Grand Shrine .

"『And since n.o.busadkun has been doing his best, I'm giving out lots of extras . I even gave that kid a protection, not the divine kind mind, as a present! Nanodesu!!』"

"What!?"

"『OK then, that's all for today . Adieu~~!!』"

"Ah, oy!"

The light from Bell's body is gradually weakening before disappearing for good . He's got no memory of the event yet again, as he's just standing there in blank amazement .
Let's just end the baptism and pretend nothing happened . Afterward, I donated some, and took Tino's hand to leave the temple, or rather the shack behind .
Bell? He was quite exhausted probably because the advent was longer than before, so I gave him some potions and urged him to take a rest to recover his physical conditions .

"Hey hey, n.o.bu-niichan . "

Some time after we left the shack, Tino-chan called out while looking up at me .

"The one who possessed Bell-san back then was G.o.ddess-sama right?"

OH, she was right behind us as it was unfolding . No point in trying to hide this since she saw everything . Let's just tell her the truth here .

"That's right . That was G.o.ddess Levelitt . It's a G.o.ddess who's a bit clumsy, mischievous, p.r.o.ne to failures yet gives off an illusion of being reliable but not really . She's the one who baptized me . Are you disillusioned?"

"Uun, I love that she's so friendly and sociable even though she's a G.o.ddess . Kinda feels more like you just can't leave her alone than reverence though . "

Oh Tino-chan . Are you really 10 year old . This girl has got it together much better than Bell .

"You're right . When you think about it, Bell and no G.o.ddess are similar, aren't they . Probably why he was chosen for Divine Mingle skill . "

"Bell-san . . . Un, you just can't leave him alone, can you . I mean, he looks like he'll be an easy target for bad woman or some shady person . Un, un . "

Oh? She's nodding incessantly . Is this perhaps? Well she's still young after all, que sera, sera .
She's got this innocent face, but the inside is scarily mature . This old man is worried about Tino-chan in a different meaning than he is Bell .

Oh right, that no G.o.ddess tampered with me and Tino-chan . Discerning-sensei, help please .

Name: Tino - Gender: Female - Age: 10 - Race: Elf
Cla.s.s: Apothecary Lv5 - Miko Lv1 (new!)
t.i.tle: None
【Skills】
Agriculture Lv1 - Compounding Lv1 - Life Magic - Flora Fauna Knowledge Lv2

【Unique Skills】
Levelitt's Protection

【Apothecary】
A cla.s.s specializing in compounding a variety of materials to create medicine . Unlike alchemist, this cla.s.s seldom invents a new recipe, but making medicine from known recipes will likely boost its quality and effect .

【Levelitt's Protection】
A proof of meddling out of curiosity by Levelitt, G.o.ddess who governs over growth and talent . Add plus corrections to skill proficiency gains and experience acquired from non-battle .  

What!? She's got her Second Cla.s.s liberated!
That no G.o.ddess, she went at it with a bang . I've got to take the non-battle part into consideration though . Protection without protection part, as expected of no-G.o.ddess .

As for me . . . the apostle and divine protections are affected .

【Levelitt Divine Protection (Medium)】
Add plus corrections to the user and their party members' cla.s.s experience, skill acquisitions and proficiency gains .

【Levelitt's Apostle】
Proof of a true envoy of Levelitt, G.o.ddess who governs over growth and talent . Allowed to teach knowledge and stuff to believers as a representative of Levelitt . Power balance between G.o.ds will change depending on your actions as an apostle . On effect just by possessing this t.i.tle .  

The range now extends to party members huh . But dang, what's up with Medium, this isn't gyudon portion or something . The divine protection is exactly what I needed, but the apostle part has lost its temp now, so does that mean I'm her apostle for real now . Will whatever I do from now on affect the power balance between G.o.ds?

Welp, not like that no G.o.ddess got any sort of considerable influence anyway . Yup, let's stop worrying about it .
Even if I found someone and told them to do something in the name of G.o.ddess Levellit, they'd probably go like, [Eh that sounds like a pain, don't wanna] before running off .
I mean I dunno anyone who wouldn't do that given the no-G.o.ddess's sphere of influence .
