CHAPTER 108: A HUMAN’S POTENTIAL IS BOUNDLESS

I stared at the yellow decoration

(I don’t think it’s under some strange curse…) (Toru)

“What’s with the gaze? That’s not something I made, it’s something from by another god.” (Nesis)

“Oh, that’s right. I’m relieved.” (Toru)

“Why are you relieved!?” (Nesis)

　Nesis raises her eyes up to me, but that’s all she did.

(Are all the gods in this world like her?) (Toru)

　Pushing that thought aside, I put on the bracelet I received.

　The bracelet fits my arm perfectly. It is also very light and not uncomfortable to wear.

“Now all the pieces fit.” (Nesis)

“Eh?” (Toru)

“Nah, it’s nothing. By the way, the bracelet has ‘almost no’ special effects like the [Magic Sword]. Take good care of it.” (Nesis)

“I understand. Thank you very much.” (Toru)

“Okay. See you later.” (Nesis)

　Nesis waved her hand, and the white world gradually faded away.

　But then, she clapped her hands.

“Oh, I forgot.” (Nesis)

　The fading white world stopped as if the movie had been paused.

(Oh, you can stop that.) (Toru)

“You’ve been spending less and less time looking at the skill board lately. Why is that?” (Nesis)

“Um, I don’t have a lot of time…” (Toru)

　The skill board still has 50,000 inactive skills.

　It’s interesting to examine the skills and sort them out, but it takes too much time to sort out the necessary and unnecessary skills.

　And what skills should I acquire? It is also difficult to decide what kind of skills to acquire and what kind of skills to build.

“Why don’t you just take whatever skills you fancy.” (Nesis)

“I know, but…” (Toru)

“I don’t understand it, Japanese people really have that type of personality.” (Nesis)

“Type of personality?” (Toru)

“You don’t enjoy the freedom that much.” (Nesis)

“Oh, yeah.” (Toru)

“And you’re extremely fearful of failing.” (Nesis)

“Ugh.” (Toru)

“It’s also a problem your sense of cost-benefits is too high.” (Nesis)

“*Groan*…” (Toru)

　That’s very true. The words of Nesis pierced the very center of my heart.

　When I choose to do something, I first rule out anything that is likely to fail, and I am always conscious of the cost and benefits.

　So, when I am told to do something freely, I am at a loss as to what to do.

　I become timid, assuming that because I am taking on a challenge, I must succeed.

“Your diligence didn’t help at all in Japan—” (Nesis)

“Kuh…” (Toru)

　Critical hit to the heart.

　How and why is this god coming to attack my heart? Is it a grudge?

“You’re more than useful enough now.” (Nesis)

“Yes, and?” (Toru)

“Yes, it is. And you’ve been in Eargard for only a month and you’ve got a lot of people around you.” (Nesis)

“…” (Toru)

　I was surprised when she pointed it out.

　Inferiors are the target of contempt in Eargard.

　I, who have been transferred here am an Inferior, still, I have connections to many people despite being an Inferior.

　Esther, Marie, Lily, Graf, Simon, Jack, Aaron, Themis…

　Just off the top of my head, I have interacted with more people than when I lived in Japan.

　I realize now that I have made connections with that many people in just one month.

“As the world changes, so do the personality and skills that are needed. Even if they are useless now, there is a possibility that the skills will come in handy sooner or later. But we humans can’t predict when our skills will come in handy, can we?” (Nesis)

“That’s right.” (Toru)

“Then don’t even think about it. Instead of thinking about how your skills will come to be, think about how you will use those skills.” (Nesis)

　Nesis puts her hands on her hips and puffs up her chest.

　Her attitude is not godly at all, but at this moment I can feel her godliness like never before.

　I shook my body out of the overwhelming feeling.

“A human’s potential is boundless. It is a loss not to think about this and not growing one’s potential. Don’t think about failure, just acquire as many skills as you can.” (Nesis)

“……Yes.” (Toru)

“Good to know you’re honest and open.” (Nesis)

　Nesis charmingly smiled.

“See you soon <3!” (Nesis)

　With a wave of her hand, the fading of the world started again.

　After being released from Nesis, we went out through the east gate and headed for the mountain where the Persimo is located.

　On the way, I checked my skill board after looking for an opening away from Esther.
