Chapter 30 30 - The Mighty One Who Came
Elise’s face was getting redder like a ripe tomato. She was doing the all-four positions according to my orders. It was the umpteenth pose she had done this hour. I just kept walking around her while continuing to press the photo button to capture this woman’s image. Something like this wouldn’t be possible in the real world, so I made the most of this opportunity.
Meanwhile, Anja now chose to hug one of the pillars and pressed her head against it.
“I-is this not over yet, sir?” Elise, who had been silent during the photoshoot, finally spoke up.
“Hmmm?” I was silent, looking at her. After feeling that there was nothing else she could pose, I told her. “Okay, get up.”
Elise hurriedly got up, trying to cover her crotch and cleavage with her hands again. She also pressed her thighs together, lightly rubbing them against each other.
“You should be more confident, Elise.” I snorted. “Those are clothes you will continue to wear. Are you going to be like that all the time?”
Slowly, Elise lowered her hands and straightened herself, though her face was still red.
Once again, I looked at the armor that I had designed myself. My mouth grins wide. The result is better than I imagined. In an era like this, you won’t find skimpy clothes like that in any RPG. This game provides excellent customization options..
“Sir?” Elise asked me who was frozen.
“Ah, it’s time for you to go on a mission, Elise.”
Suddenly Anja ran to me. “This time, you really sending her, right!?”
I just nodded with a smile, gesturing for the two people to come to the pond. Anja pranced and immediately ran to that place while Elise walked slowly and stiffly. And when she passed me, I held my hands up high.
“Kyaaa!!!” It was probably Elise’s most intense shriek when her butt was slapped by me. I did increase the power of my favorite move many times over. “Please, don’t do that again, sir…”
I raised my eyebrows. Since Elise’s butt was almost bare, I felt a more pleasant sensation. Apart from feeling the impact on the lump of flesh, I also felt the softness of Elise’s skin. However, I also noticed something strange.
“Don’t cover it up.” I pulled Elise’s hand that covered her ass. There was a red mark in the shape of my hand there.
This armor should magically protect the user, right?
“The armor is okay, sir! The attacks that hit the armor must reach a certain power before the magical protective energy activates! So that slap in the ass will still be felt by Elise, but I guarantee that the sword won’t pierce her body!” Anja explained in a loud and fast voice. “So, can we send Elise now?”
I see. I will prove what Anja said when Elise went on a mission.
I was about to choose a quest near the pond, but a part of the fog approached me. Then, as usual, the silhouette of a figure appeared from here.
Anja snorted loudly. “Who’s coming!? Doesn’t they know that I’ve been waiting for this for too long!?”
“I’m just going to have a short talk with the god of hope, Anja.” A slender figure emerged from the fog, giving a wide smile with brightly colored lips.
I held my breath when I saw that beautiful figure with long yellow hair. She wears light green clothes with charming accents, making her appearance even more attractive.
Perhaps she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Every feature of her face matched each other perfectly.
“My name is Erbau. I am the god of buildings.”
Even the figure’s voice sounded so sweet to my ears…. Wait.
“You are the Goddess of building, you mean?” I corrected the figure while raising an eyebrow.
The figure’s smile widened. “No, I’m a god.”
I turned to Anja, who answered immediately. “Yes, he is a god.”
Trying to hide my shock and disappointment, I watched the god more closely. Her body did not show the curves of a woman, and her chest was one hundred percent flat.
This is a crime!
“You don’t know what’s inside the building unless you enter it, do you?” The god named Erbau laughed.
No, I can’t accept this. Why is this the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen a man!?
“This is your servant, huh? Elise, right?” Erbau smiled at the woman.
Elise nodded slightly and introduced herself.
“I don’t want to talk to you any longer. I think Anja is really looking forward to seeing Levidna again. She is one of my best friends.” Erbau walked towards the pond. “And I also don’t want to bother you while watching your hero below. So, I will immediately answer your most crucial question.”
“Erbau is such a laid-back god! He didn’t even scold me when I told him I liked coming here to watch Levidna!” Anja said in a cheerful tone.
“Ah…. Thank you for coming here just to answer my question.” I’m still trying to be friendly to Erbau. I don’t really know anything about the other gods, but I think it’s wise to make one of them an ally.
Erbau looked at his own body reflected by the surface of the pond. “So, you want to know why the buildings I offer are so boring?”
“Well, that’s if you don’t mind answering.” I sensed such a serious aura from this god. Perhaps the answer that will be given provides an astonishing fact. So, I prepared myself.
Erbau took a deep breath. His hands clenched into fists, and he finally opened his mouth again. “Those damn gods never appreciate my work. I’ve made the best design possible, but they make a lot of requests for things that are not important and spoil the aesthetics. There are even those whose shape is very far from my design. I was so sick of it that I cursed their place to be boring. The building I’m offering is also boring!”
After saying at length like that, Erbau took a deep breath. I approached him and said, “Well, it really doesn’t feel good if your work is not appreciated by others.”
Even though I said that I felt even more irritated. Erbau’s reasons are valid, but I expected more from the build-up he made. I was disappointed twice.
