Huge Holy 33

33 - God really is shitty

RAW

[Long time no see. First, here it is]

[This is a technique formula I devised.]

[It seems that you were dissatisfied with not being able to write many formulas on the wand flower.]

[But you should change your approach and work toward shortening the formula instead.]

[This is the shortened formula for those washing machines you're using in your grimoire.]

[If it's just this, it can be incorporated into a single wand flower, and a single grimoire is no longer needed for a task as simple as washing. Was it called cost cutting, this is?]

[Are you asking why? Why did I come up with the formula??]

[I like it. Things like this]

[Huh. You don’t want me to do this any more…?]

[Ah, I see, researching technique formulas was your hobby, just like me.]

[However, it’s not like I was researching the technique formulas of that world simply out of hobby or preference.]

[Intelligent life must evolve to a stage where it harvests and utilizes energy from surrounding celestial bodies and galaxies centering on their own star, or it will perish in the future because of their inability to resist invasion from the surrounding galaxies.]

[At this point, you must feel like I am talking about the distant future. However, this is related to the technique formulas we were talking about.]

[To put it simply, in the world you live in――the technique formula works by controlling every kind of energy.]

[However... the essential magic circle and technique formulas have been moving backwards.]

[At this rate, they can't even take a single step towards space trade.]

[First of all, please produce results that would be used even by those short-sighted people.]

[This would be the cutting-edge familiar spirit that you were trying to create as a hobby. if you compare it to your world, it would be, please get them to reach the stage of humanoid robot.]

[If you publicize it, it won’t be treated as something that can be ignored.]

[Also, two more things]

[Apparently you are not happy with my demand for suicide. Did you feel that way because your previous life was as a human?]

[I don’t really mind. Even without suicide. The human lifespan in that world would be about 100 years. 100 years is no problem. In my sense, 100 years is no different than an instant.]

[And the other one. You were asking why am I investigating the world? About that.]

[It's a hobby]

God is shit.
I guess not all of them are shit, but if I'm not mistaken, even though she is the sun god, Amaterasu became a shut-in and caused trouble, so maybe that's how it is.

After waking up like that, I approach the cane that is still floating in the center of the room.
There were more wand flowers than yesterday――right when I thought that, one or two wand flowers fell off like petals.
…This thing.
I see, if you put it in a vase like a flower, it looks better than a grimoire.
Even so, the [Wand Flower] is falling apart.

Yesterday, when I looked through wand-related reference books I borrowed from the book storage, I found out that it seems that the [Wand Flower] and the wand can be linked, and it is also possible to control it remotely. Then, I guess I can even use the [Wand Flower] for mapping.
Rather, isn’t everything that used to be compensated for by [Familiars] can now be compensated for by [Wand Flowers].

That doesn't mean [Familiar] is obsolete.

“Cutting-edge [Familiar]... huh.”

I guess saying ‘it’d be nice if I could create it’ isn’t enough anymore.
No matter how much that shitty god simplifies the formula, the storage medium is still important. Grimoire and the likes is also important.
...Now is not the time for that.
I need to prepare breakfast, wash the adventurers' clothes, sheets and so on, and above all, I need to wake them up.

Anyway, first is breakfast――right as I thought that and leaving to the hallway.
The whole hallway was a terrible mess, full of what looked like foaming liquid detergent.
A woman with short green hair is cleaning up with a mop and a rag while crying. The door to what appeared to be her room had come off completely and was propped against the wall.

Umm, this woman... I think she was Lina, a [Chemist]?

“What is this situation, Lina?”

When I speak to her, Lina says with the tension of having discovered an oasis in the desert.

“Josiah-san! I'm sorry, can you do something about it with your magic!!”

“Like I said, first of all, what kind of situation is this?”

“Ah, awa awa. I'm sorry. Yesterday, the detergent Josiah-san made? I thought I’d make some myself, so I mixed some chemicals and it exploded. Full of foam like this.”

Why did it explode!
It's not an explosion, it's a chemical reaction... or a magical reaction, which exploded.
Well, it doesn't matter at this point. This is not the time for breakfast...

“Haa... I'll clean up here. You go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast. Take out the dishes and wash the vegetables. I ask you to wash the rice, and set the steam cooker. Also, if you can prepare fish, do it.”

“I, I understand! ...But still, Josiah-san, is a C-rank dungeon really that hard? The explosion woke everyone up, but only Josiah-san didn't wake up. Are you that tired?”

“...I guess.”
