Chapter 428 The 3rd Tenant Shop
“Right, let’s have a look and see if we have a drugstore available first,” I want to at least be able to mentally prepare myself if something bad were to happen…
I tapped my finger on the (+1) and a drop-down appeared.
Unique Skill [Net Super] has been unlocked. Please choose from the following:
Nos Burger [9]
Yamada Cleaning [9]
Matsumura Kiyomi [9]
Satou’s Fresh Fish
“It here—!!!”
A high-pitched voice rang through my head. It’s… “Kishar-sama?”
“Ufufu, please accept my apologies~~”
Can you please stop trying to sound cute?
Well, I guess I can understand her excitement. Although, personally, I’d prefer Yamada Cleaning or Satou’s Fresh Fish since it’s troublesome to keep was.h.i.+ng clothes. Especially when I’m on the road.
As for the fish shop, well, it’s kind of hard to get hold of fish unless we’re by the sea or a river. Also, thanks to that stupid parasite, I can’t even enjoy sas.h.i.+mi…
Hahh… however, if I pick the shops I want, well…
A sudden chill went down my back.
“Naturally, as a goodhearted and considerate person, you will pick the drugstore, right? I believe in you~”
… I could totally hear the unspoken ‘choose the drugstore, or else’ under that light tone.
In fact, I believe the pressure I am feeling now is not my imagination.
“N-naturally, naturally I’ll choose the drugstore, hahaha…”
I touched the characters for Matsumura Kiyomi as though coerced by a demon.
[Do you want to sign with Matsumura Kiyomi? YES / NO]
Do I even have a choice?
I tapped YES.
[Contract with Matsumura Kiyomi has been established. The next Tenant shop will be unlocked at level 160. We look forward to seeing you again]
“Ufufufufufu, finally. My long-awaited drugstore is here! I shall be able to get my hands on this, and this, and that one too!”
… I think Kishar-sama has finally lost it.
“How rude, I have not ‘lost it’ as you have so crudely put it. I am merely a little excited. I now have access to all sorts of beauty products. [8] I have studied the products in your home country of j.a.pan and, oh my, I want this one and this one too~ I have been looking forward to this~ I shall not place my request today since I wish to study them slowly, but I shall await patiently for my precious darlings tomorrow~”
“… yes?”
I really do not have the courage to say no to Kishar-sama when she’s in this kind of mood. [6] I have long since learned not to get between a woman and her beauty products…
“Hey! Kishar is unfair! I want to place my requests too!”
Ninril-sama! I am so relieved to hear your voice! Please take Kishar-sama’s attention away from me…
“Oh my~ have you fallen in love with my voice? Fufun, this lady is willing to speak to you as much as you wish~”
“This and that are completely different things. Anyway, since you’re here, I shall take your request.”
I need to get the offerings done sooner or later anyway, so…
“Sweets! Desserts and Dorayaki! Cake! Give me everything from the Limited Edition Section!”
“Right,” [10] I wrote ‘Dorayaki, Limited Cake’ on my notebook
“Since Kishar will be making her request tomorrow, I’m next. The usual beer!”
“Alright,” I said, “snacks?”
“No need. Oh, but give me a selection of local beers to try. I’ll have my servants make the snacks for me, so I only need the beer.”
[10]
“Right, right.” Next to Agni-sama’s name, I wrote ‘Beer, local beer selection’. “Ruka-sama?”
“Ice-cream, lots. Cake, Limited Edition if any.”
[10] Wow, she must have seen what I have written and given me the most efficient request ever. [5a]
“Whisky!”
“Obviously!”
“Uh huh,” I paused with my pen over my notepad.
[4]
“Umu, this time we want something we haven’t tried.”
“Double servings! One each.”
“We’re building a whisky bottle collection.”
“You should see our wall.”
“Gyahahaha!”
“Gahahaha!”
Well, that’s it for today.
“Other Worlder-kun, I shall place my request tomorrow~ Goodbye for now~”
Her voice was sweet, but I can’t help but s.h.i.+ver…
Finally, today is the next day.
I just returned from the dungeon yesterday.
After getting the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses’ requests, I went to bed.
Breakfast this morning was nice and leisurely, I spent the rest of the day preparing the offerings. I am determined to enjoy my day and took half a day just browsing and shopping on [Net Super], collecting and sorting the items and putting them all away in my [Item Box].
After an early dinner, I psyched myself up and headed toward one of the vacant rooms.
“Ahem, are you there?”
Sounds of thumping footsteps and slaps of slippers answered me.
[11]
“Yes! Yes! We’re here- Ow! Kishar, how dare you push me?!”
“Who pushed you, I’m just standing here.”
“Gununu, d.a.m.n you Kishar!”
“… …” I heard nothing.
“Fufun~ quickly now, Other Worlder-kun, show me the goods~”
“Hey, Kishar. Why don’t you let us have our stuff first?” Came Agni-sama’s decisive voice.
“Yeah! It’s not fair! I want my sweets!”
“What was that, Ninril-chan?”
“Kuuhh…”
“Agni has a point,” Ruka-sama’s voice was low, but somehow penetrating too.
“Yeah, yeah, you can take your time and browse slowly,”
“Right, right, let us take our offerings first.”
Naturally, the two whisky-addict G.o.ds were in favour of this.
“… fine, I shall wait.”
“Yes! Sweets! Me!”
Everything else was pretty much a repeat of the other times I had to give offerings to these greedy G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses. [5b]
Well, with the exception of one…
“Ufufufu, it is now finally my turn. G.o.d of Creator-sama has warned us not to bother you, well… I’m sure you wouldn’t mind it just for today~?”
I nodded wordlessly, not daring to interrupt this crazy G.o.ddess as I quietly opened up [Net Super].
“Now, show me the drugstore.”
“Sure…”
I think… I should be fine if I just obey her?
Surely?
I’m kind of scared ?
[Gumihou: Yeah, 5b the entire offering scene.]

[a] Deleted musings over Ruka-sama’s order vs Ninril’s order. Like, we know.
[b] Deleted the entire handing over of offerings. All 550 words, even the ‘special whisky’ scenes’. Gone. Gumi can’t take it anymore.
[6] Additional Information for Aesthetic Purpose
[7] Add Dialogue Tag
[8] Creative Licence Taken – Reworked Kishar-sama’s high-end lady’s talk. It was… a little odd…
[9] The tenant shop options
Nos Burger – is probably Mos Burger, a burger chain in j.a.pan
Yamada Cleaners – probably a dry cleaning place. クリーニング is literally ‘Cleaning’ and most likely a contracted word from ‘Dry Cleaning’
Matsumura Kiyomi – is probably Matsumura Kiyos.h.i.+ – a popular drugstore chain in j.a.pan
Satou’s Fresh Fish – probably some random fishmonger. Gumi would probably pick this one.
[10] Added some note writing activity for variety.
[11] Excited G.o.ds & G.o.ddess dialogues are too chaotic. Cleaned it up
