Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Right, he is a merchant
I barely have gotten any of that.
When I came hereâŚas if kidnappedâŚthe only thing we did was exchange some words.
Hibiki-senpai apparently hears about it rarely.
But a shocking truth was revealed here.
Tomoki has been contacted by the Goddess pretty often.
Tomoki himself said it happens every now and then, but compared to the amount of times with me and Senpai, it is a world of difference.
âHm? The oracle of the Goddess? There arenât many requests where she asks for anything big. I would say around once every 3 months.â (Tomoki)
The drinking got longer than I expected, and I did my best to ask Tomoki about the Goddessâs oracles and the connection.
âBut I would say that, aside from that, we have completely unimportant talk once a month? Speaking of which, I have not heard much about you and Hibiki from the Goddess. You guys would only come up at the times when we decide on what to do.â (Tomoki)
Thatâs not an oracle anymore but mail or chatting.
So he was the closest Hero to God, huh.
I have my doubts, butâŚwhatâs the reason she likes Tomoki more than Senpai?
No matter how you think about it, it is Senpai all the way.
âIn the beginning, it was about the latest fashion trend in the time I was in Japan, asking about the synthetic fiber, the feel of the texture, how it feels on the skin; well, she may be a Goddess, but she must have had interest in fashion. After that, she would ask about whether thereâs any useful material that could be used here as well, and talked about how we should make down jackets first because the Empire is a cold country. She is someone that really likes to talk about clothes and the latest fad.â (Tomoki)
Thatâs why your world is turning into this much of a mess.
Only developing the sense of beauty and things related to hyumans to an abnormal extent.
Even though a God is present, it is far from being peaceful.
âI unfortunately donât have much of a connection with her, butâŚshe is quite the frank Goddess, huh. My impression of her has changed a great deal. It is surprising that she is unexpectedly caring.â (Makoto)
It simply changed from the absolute worst impression to a fast slide downwards though.
I unconsciously stirred the wine that doesnât even intoxicate me.
âYou could call the Goddess a busybody too though. The Goddess is apparently tied up to the rules of Gods which is rough for her, and I am made to listen to her complaints⌠It is a pain.â (Tomoki)
ââŚHey, Tomoki, can I ask this?â (Makoto)
âYou say Goddess Goddess, butâŚhave you not been told her name?â (Makoto)
In the end, she didnât tell me her name.
Senpai didnât know either.
If even Tomoki hasnât heard it even though he is this close to her, is there a reason why she hides it?
âNow that you mention it, I havenât. But the Goddess is only her, so is there any point in a name?â (Tomoki)

âIt is not like she is like us mortals who are a dime in a dozen, right? She is a God and she is the only Goddess in this world. The church also calls her Goddess, and it is apparently disrespectful to say her name, so it isnât made clear. The Goddess is the only eternal existence, so thereâs no need to distinguish her with a name orâŚâ (Tomoki)
Letâs hear what he has to say for now.
They are in a close relationship where they listen to their complaints, so thereâs no need to know their name?
Is that the thought process of a normie? Or the type where they make nicknames on the spot and go all yay?
It is a world that I had no involvement or interest in, so I donât understand it at all.
âMaybe it is a sparkly name that she herself wants to throw away so she doesnât want to say it? Thereâs a lot of weird names among Gods, right? Like the Amateran, ChupaCabra, and the Abhos.â (Tomoki)
The first one is probably a Shinto God that is worshipped in Japan.
By Ameteran, is he referring to Amaterasu-sama? He gets it wrong in a way as if it would be a mobile suit.
The last one may be a God, but it is in a special category that shows in the Lovecraft-sanâs mythos.
Moreover, he somehow managed to get the obscure onesâŚwas it by coincidence?
âSparkly name, huh. I didnât think of that.â (Makoto)
âReally? There were a number of those in my class, and you could find people like that in the school pretty normally, you know. People like Adam, Mario, Romeo, Pudin, or Lemon.â (Tomoki)
âŚNo, there was none of that.
There was no one who had names like that in my class.
Could it be that Tomoki came from a far earlier era than mine?
No, if that were the case, he wouldnât say âsparkly namesâ.
If it were normal, he wouldnât call them like that.
âI-Is that how it is?â (Makoto)
âThatâs how it is. I would say it is something likeâŚGoddess Hamohanyamuni or whatever.â (Tomoki)
âN-no, I kinda felt really embarrassed hearing that name for some reasonâŚâ (Makoto)
I have heard that Hamohanyamuni somewhere.
From what I know, it is not an acquaintance. YeahâŚ
âI see, so even you have a weakness of sorts, huh. You and Hibiki as well; your strengths are placed heavily in one-on-one. In the eyes of someone like me who places my weight on large scales, that style of yours -despite being inefficient- it looks invincible, and that in a way makes me jealous.â (Tomoki)
âThen just prepare equipment suitable for one-on-one.â (Makoto)
Why are you making a surprised expression?
Isnât that a really normal response?
âYou changed your type depending on your equipment; you could call it the composition of your strength? Putting it negatively, you rely on your equipment; putting it positively, you are all-purpose depending on your equipment. In online games, one form of being the strongest is to pay money to become strong, right? In your case, thanks to the blessing of the Goddess and the overwhelming national power of Gritonia, this can be possible, right?â (Makoto)
No matter what you think about it, Tomoki has an unbelievable affinity with magic tools.
