Chapter 152: Goddess of the Earth, "Nanasia"

Even if she's a goddess, can something like this be forgiven?

At first, I thought I had come to a very sacred "Goddess's Room." But it turned out to be... a rip-off shop that didn't even provide a glass of water.

I have no idea what's going on, but my precious points are steadily decreasing. Moreover, refunds are not allowed, and I don't know how to return.

Certainly, the words of the goddess are very valuable. I understand that. But at least, couldn't she have told me at the beginning?

"I'm really sorry. If I had said it at the beginning, you would have gone back immediately, right? Once I thought that, I couldn't bring myself to say it..."

"...No, it's okay now. I can't consume all the points, but a little more is not a problem..."

"Then, let's make it just 10 more minutes, exactly 10 minutes! We can talk about the rest next time!"

The one I'm talking to is a goddess. No, she's probably a goddess. She looks like an otherworldly beauty and has a wonderful voice. If she were normal, I think she would have an aura that would make you want to prostrate yourself.

—After that, Nanasia-sama's explanation continued for a while.

In summary, it seems she was really looking forward to meeting me. Moreover, except for the "dragons" living in the Great Mountain Range, she said it's her first time having a direct conversation with the races of the lower realm.

There seems to be limitations on what she can talk about, and apart from general conversation and some things, she can't talk about anything without unlocking various perks. However, she said that if she descends to the lower realm, she can talk about those things. In the end, I couldn't learn anything about the conditions for returning to Japan, maintaining the barrier after death, and the past heroes at this point.

Among the things I could learn, the only ones were about the "Descent of the Goddess" and the "Gate to Another World."

"Then, with today's meeting, have the necessary conditions for the 'Descent of the Goddess' been fulfilled?"

"Yes, first try checking on this monitor. The required faith points for manifestation should be displayed."

When Nanasia-sama touched the monitor, the screen went completely dark. Then, when I touched it... the usual status screen appeared.

Moving from the "Blessings of the Goddess" to the perks, I checked the section on the special system for "Goddess Descent."

The goddess descends to the mortal realm. To maintain manifestation, 1,000 points of faith must be consumed per day.

I had roughly expected it, but an enormous number of points were required to bring down the goddess. However, what caught my attention more was the newly added sentence.

"Um... the post-manifestation description, it wasn't displayed before, right?"

"Oh, that... honestly, I'll tell you. I added it just now! If I kept it hidden, I might get scolded again... I'm sorry."

"I thought so. You were hiding it after all. —Just to be sure, are there any other secrets?"

"There aren't. I swear by God... Well, I am that god!"

The goddess wore a smiling face, but even now, there was no time to interject with comments. Even as things stood, points were steadily being consumed, so the decision was made to let it slide and proceed with the conversation.

"...Understood. So, what are the conditions for the 'Gate to Another World'?"

"I see you have no objections... The condition is my manifestation. The Gate to Another World already exists, so faith points are not needed."

"It already exists?"

"That refrigerator is the Gate to Another World. After my manifestation, its function will be released."

(Is it really okay for her to talk about it so casually...?)

According to the goddess's explanation...

- The timing of the transfer from Japan was the moment I opened the refrigerator door. At that time, the coordinates were fixed, and the refrigerator was set as the reference point. Although the actual content was more complicated... in terms I can understand, it seems to be something like that.

- After the function is released, the size of the Gate to Another World (refrigerator) can be adjusted. It allows travel between Earth and this world. However, only those permitted by the goddess or me can pass through.

- Those who have not visited this otherworld even once cannot come to this world. It is also impossible to bring Earth's objects in. However, transporting goods from this world to Earth seems to be possible.

"I see... there are various restrictions, but it's confirmed that I can return to Japan. Truly a goddess, anything is possible."

"And my purpose for descending to the lower realm is... Please keep what I'm about to say a secret. Well, I can't talk about it due to restrictions, but..."

"Is it the right for those who manifested to know?"

"That's correct. My purpose is—"

After that, what the goddess told me was very interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot talk about it... If it were an ordinary person, they would probably end their life without ever knowing.

"—Keisuke-san, it's regrettable, but it's time to end."

"Yes. It's impossible for a while... I'll come to visit again."

"I'm really sorry today. From next time, I'll make sure to tell you in advance."

"No, I'm the one who was rude. I got flustered... Thank you for meeting me, Nanasia-sama, and for finding out that I can return to Japan. That alone is more than enough value."

"I'm glad to hear that. Well then, I look forward to the day we can meet again."

Thus, the first meeting with the goddess ended, and I returned to the original world.

By the way, the way to return to the village was easy. By reopening the door of the refrigerator, I was able to safely return. The phenomenon of shining white was the same as when it came.

◇◇◇

After returning home, Tsubaki and I resumed cleaning together. Of course, I explained the situation, and Tsubaki believed me. After discussing various matters, we decided to tell the villagers about today's events during dinner.

Oh, and by the way, the flow of time was the same in both the mortal world and the divine realm. There were no phenomena like the Urashima Effect, and time wasn't stopped.

"Well, then, let's tell the villagers during dinner. We'll limit the discussion about the otherworldly Gate to those with Loyalty 99."

"Yes, I think that's a good idea. By the way, Keisuke-san, how many points did you end up spending?"

"You're really asking the right question. The total payment for this visit, with a 30-minute stay and no drinks, was... a whopping 18,000 points."

"That's quite... harsh. Oh, sorry for saying it like that. It's disrespectful to Nanasia-sama, isn't it? I apologize."

"Well, she's a goddess, so this kind of compensation is probably necessary. I think it's good that we were able to learn important things."

In the evening of that day, I told the villagers about the goddess—how I almost got treated as an 'apostle.' Especially the dragon people, Drago, showed a significant inclination in that direction. They naturally worship the Earth Goddess, so it's understandable...

After managing to calm them down and making excuses with some lies, they started treating me as usual.

There were no particular issues with other matters. The villagers' faith deepened even further, and they seemed to eagerly await the goddess's manifestation.

Also, it was revealed that the goddess's name is Nanasia, and that raised the status of Nanashi Village. Feeling proud to be residents of the village, their loyalty to me also significantly increased.
