Eguchi Ren: The gods and goddesses are back. Oh, but first lets talk about the 2nd tenant shop

Once everyone has fallen asleep, I went to one corner of the room and called for the gods and goddesses.

Hello, its been a long time since weve spoken. I am now back from the dungeon.

The sounds of running footsteps thundered in my ears.

Oh, youre finally back!

Finally!

Oh, did you? I havent noticed

Ive been waiting

Ou! Welcome back! Whats your level now?

Yes, tell us!

Oi, oi, is that really what you want to ask me the moment you see me?

Oh yes, I want to know too! Whats your level now?

That excited voice could only be Kishar-sama, [8] the cosmetics otaku.

If you must know, my level is now at 62. So I guess Ive unlocked the 2nd tenant shop.

A great cheer followed my announcement.

Excellent, lets unlock the liquor store right away!

No! I want a drugstore! A drugstore!

As the two gods and one goddess began to quarrel with each other, other voices added to the chaos.

Who cares about that, I want cake! I want it now!

Indeed, you can discuss the matter later. Ive been looking forward to a good beer for quite a while now,

cake, ice-cream

Ninril-sama and Ruka-sama were pretty happy with the Japanese Dessert Store Fujiya and could not care less about the quarrel. As for Agni-sama, she had been keen on a liquor store but lost interest once she discovered beer.

Quiet! We are now having a very important discussion over the next tenant store. So, Shut Up, [3] said Kishar-sama.

Kishar-sama is scary

I guess we should just stay quiet

I could only imagine the kind of presence Kishar-sama has to shut these other goddesses up. Still, I dont want to sit here and listen to their quarrel, so

Excuse me, we still dont know what the options are for the 2nd tenant store. Why dont we check that out first? I suggested.

Oh, thats right. Well, get to it!

Be quick about it now!

Hurry, hurry~~!

Y-yes, please hold on,

I opened up my status and touched the (+1) next to the [Net Super] skill.

Unique skill Net Super has been unlocked.

Please choose one of the following:

Kantucky

Suzukis Bakery

Tanakas Liquor Store

Oh? Im given three options this time?

Hmm, the previous option Wakudonald isnt here. Instead, they have Kantucky, the other popular fast-food chain. As for Suzukis Bakery and Tanakas Liquor Store, I can only assume they are independent shops [5] [6] Screams of excitement (and despair) interrupted my musings. [5]

Yes! A liquor shop!

Its here! Weve waited for for so long!

Behind the cheers was Kishar-samas disappointed, Why is there no drugstore? Why liquor store? Whyyy!!

Ahaha, I have no control over this and personally, Id have chosen Suzukis Bakery since speciality baked goods are superior to supermarket ones but I have a feeling the gods might smite me [5]

Alright, I said over Kishar-samas mutterings and the alcoholic duos cheering. Shall I unlock Tanakas Liquor Store?

Yes!!

Do it!!

I dont care

Just get on with it so that I can have my cake,

Same here, I want my weekly beer fix,

cake, ice-cream

Well, that settles it. I chose Tanakas Liquor Store.

[Do you wish to establish a contract with Tanakas Liquor Shop? YES / NO]

YES.

[Contract with Tanakas Liquor Shop established successfully. The next tenant will be unlocked at Level 80. We look forward to seeing you again.]

Level 80? That sounds kind of far away. Would it keep doubling, I wonder. With the 4th tenant shop at 160 and so on?

Hmm, I guess I wont be unlocking any tenant shops in the near future considering my dislike for dungeons. I prefer to live my life slowly and level up gradually. [5]

Ive established a contract with Tanakas Liquor Store,

Ah, theres that cheer again.

Yes! Yes! Show us, show us all the new liquor!

Yes! Open it now! [5]

I can tell that this was going to take a long time, so- [5]

Excuse me, is it alright if I serve the goddesses first? We can take our time to slowly look over the list of liquors later

Hmm, that sounds reasonable. God of War?

An excellent suggestion, Id like to take my time too, God of Blacksmith,

With that out of the way, I turned my attention to the goddesses.

[Gumihou: Ah, Mukouda-san is displaying his excellent skill as a tactful shop attendant.]

What Gumi imagines Mukouda-san looks like now
