Chapter 206

(206) The Goddess named Minerva

Translator: Tseirp

It would be great if I could die after counting to three and before I finish counting to four. One~, two~, three~, four~ as expected, it isnt that easy to die I wonder why cant I die.

Maybe she had not noticed us as Minerva continued her pessimistic monologue.

Miri walked over to the Goddess statue.

Minerve, youre in right! Show yourself!

And spoke to the Goddess statue like she was about to strike it.

The moment she did that, the scenery in front of my eyes suddenly changed.

It was a pure white space that would make one go insane if they stood still.

Was it my fifth time here already? The Goddess Domain.

Incidentally, unlike the other Goddess Domains, there was a lingering scent of brewed medicinal herbs.

Ara, its been a long time, Kaguychan. How was it, what are your thoughts on dying after having been in a state of immortality?

It wasnt immortality, just eternal youth also, Im now called Miri so dont call me by that name anymore.

Ara, isnt it fine. But I remember I gave you the Study of Medicine skill when you first reincarnated because you said you wanted to create a miracle drug to become immortal. Nevertheless, good job on dying. Teach me your method of dying next time.

If you want to die then just kill yourself or something.

Im asking you precisely because I cant do that. Dont tease me Kaguychan.

I could tell that Miris temple was twitching as Minerva continued to

call Miri Kaguya.

I wonder if Kaguya was Miris name in her previous life?

Onii. Kaguya was my name in my previous life. FamirisRaritei was a pseudonym.

Hn? Why did you do something so confusing?

For self-defense. Many spells use peoples name as the medium. An example would be the Status Open spell.

Oh right, it wont activate unless you call out the name of your companion to verify their status. For magic tools that utilize a persons name, there were the villains in Journey to the West, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who had a gourd that could suck a person in if they replied when their name was called.

The Red Gourd right. There are similar magic tools in this world. There is one like the one that appeared in Journey to the West, it doesnt dissolve the target but just locks them up.

Seriously isnt it quite bad then if we encounter such an item?

Well, such items are called Sacred Treasures and are very rare so you probably dont have to be so wary about it. For example, if I was trapped by an item like that, I could just escape using Transfer Magic.

Wow, then isnt Transfer Magic the strongest?

Would Onii want to learn Transfer Magic too? Lifestyle Magic IV is a transfer-type magic.

Transfer-type spell for Lifestyle Magic transfer spell even though it is Lifestyle Magic I somehow have a bad premonition about it.

But it was certainly powering up step-by-step.

At first, it was just a spell meant to clean,

clean, then it became a spell to completely shut out sound and then a spell to convert magical power into oil. All of them were amazing spells if you only look at their effects.

I felt that . it was certainly not strange that there would be a transfer-type spell too.

But is transferring part of daily lifestyle?

Ah, but even if I cant use transfer magic, I always have the option to escape to My World.

I can only open the door from My World at where I open it before entering so the end result would be that I wont be able to escape from where I would be trapped but at least I wont starve to death too.

As I was thinking that, I shifted my gaze and saw Minervsama climbing up a stepladder as she grabbed onto a loop made of straw rope.

You guys are ignoring me and talking to yourselves living is painful, I want to die!

Waaaaa! Minervsama, dont die! Were not ignoring you!

Onii, its fine, leave her be.

How could you say leave her be? What would happen once the Goddess-sama dies?

While I was saying that, Minervsama placed her head into the straw rope loop and leaped.

Uwaaaaa! Goddess-sama became a teru teru bozu!(TL: Google it if you dont know, its a small traditional handmade doll Japanese people hang to bring good weather)

Thats why I said its fine.

Its not fine, we have to help her immediately

I quickly climbed the stepladder to save Minervsama. I didnt have time to

time to bother about where the loop was hanging from as I was in a rush to save her.

Ill rescue you now!

Just as I wanted to reach out with my hands, I heard a snap from the straw rope.

Minervsama crashed to the floor.

Ahhhh thats right, I want to eat the curry Libra makes before I die. Ill die after I eat the curry made by Libra.

Shes always like that. Minerva attempts to kill herself countless times and gives up and gives excuses like that.

Really right, I have some curry I made but would Minervsama eat it?

I took out the curry rice from my item bag and asked Miri.

I dont think she would want it? The curry by Libra is a supreme masterpiece in which the spices are measured to the milligram and the cooking time is calculated to the second so curry made by Onii would

Thank you for the meal.

Minervsama had snatched my curry without me noticing, placed it on a table that appeared without me noticing and started eating without me noticing.

Minerva continued to silently eat the curry.

Miri, do you have vegetable pickled in soy sauce?(TL: Fukujinzuke, commonly used as a relish for Japanese Curry)

Yeah, I do.

Rather than that, I would like pickled Japanese leek instead.(TL: Rakkyo, also commonly used as a relish for Japanese Curry)

Miri, do you have that?

Yeah, I do.

After that, Minervsama resumed eating the curry with pickled Japanese leek.

Then

Thank you for the meal. Now then, my stomach is filled is filled its about time I have you two leave?

Dont joke with me! Minerva, I have something I want to ask you ouch!

See now, Miri. Thats not the attitude you should take towards a Goddess-sama.

I sent a hand chop to Miris head to warn her.

Miri became sulky but I was not going to let her continue like that.

In the end, Miri nodded and fixed her question towards Minervsama.

Yeah, sorry. I have something I wish to ask Minerva.

I actually felt that it wasnt proper to address her like that but they were kind of friends since they have known each other since long ago so that was within the range of tolerance.

What is it? Famiris-chan.

I cant be bothered anymore if you call me Famiris or Kaguya today. I want to know about the plot behind why we were transferred to this world.

Miri asked.

The moment she asked that, Minervas eyes switched from her languid look up until now into a serious gaze.

So you came to see me to ask about that.

No, actually we were just here to pick some medicinal herbs. But I couldnt say that.

Very well, I shall answer you.

Minerva said as she cast the Clean spell and cleaned the plate that had the curry rice and spoon and returned them to me.

Before that, I would like a drink.

Are you fine with tea?

I would like lassi.

Miri, do you have lassi?

Yeah, if you want plain or kiwi flavor.

Minervsama asked for the kiwi flavor.
