Chapter 54 The Disappointing Hero Does It All
Once again, this goddess has started saying incomprehensible things. "Crack user (割れ厨)," you know? Those who don't pay for games and resort to illegal downloads. Some even go as far as mocking those who actually buy the legitimate version, calling them "purchase addicts" and showing no regard for morals.
"Um, what do you mean?"
"Well, you guys were talking about the 'different world equals game hypothesis' earlier, and well, it's mostly correct. Also, I'm the one who laid the foundation for that. It's nice, right? Gathering the elements I scattered, having them analyzed, and leading to the discovery of the truth! So, why did I create such a thing, you ask?"
"To abduct humans and harass them, right?"
"Actually, that's true."
"Hey!"
"Hehehe, just kidding."
Who is this guy?
When I was summoned to another world, I felt solemn, but surprisingly easygoing.
"I've said it before, but I'm the goddess of 'trials and mysteries.' By giving humans trials and mysteries, overcoming the trials and solving the mysteries, I maintain my existence. I took on this form from a temporary one resembling Princess Flora's avatar because Tadayuki solved the mysteries I presented."
"Then I shouldn't have solved them."
"It's okay. You're not the kind of person who can leave presented mysteries unresolved. Otherwise, there's no way you could clear the game I created myself, right?"
"Don't analyze my personality; just continue."
"Right. So, to have you clear trials and mysteries, I created the 'Naroppa Template' based on your stories. By distributing it to other gods, the Naroppa world group was created. People are summoned to each world, clear the game, and by doing so, they gather power for me, the planner."
"Exactly, it's like selling a game and collecting cash."
"Yeah, that's right. Gods want to create worlds and gather believers. The 'Naroppa Template,' which makes it easy, has been quite handy."
Instant world creation, huh? Gods can be lazy...
"So, I put conditions on distributing this template. Regularly summon people from other worlds... that is, you guys from your world, and give them trials and mysteries. And absolutely do not modify the basic template."
"First... why people from other worlds? Aren't the locals good enough?"
"Yeah. Locals are ultimately included in the template, so if they solve trials and mysteries, it's just a self-indulgence. In the end, it's like a futile exercise, and children won't be born. Something like that."
When a beauty talks about self-indulgence, it's exciting.
"Then, why can't it be modified?"
"If it's modified, even if trials and puzzles are solved in that world, I lose my power."
I see.
If it's altered, she won't be able to collect money. It's like not getting any income with pirated copies. They call that 'crackers.'
"And listen!? Some people have created a system to take away the power that should belong to me! They summon people from other worlds, make them solve trials and mysteries, and they take the power for themselves. Unforgivable, right!?"
"Well, I don't know..."
"And, I've put restrictions on the template. I can summon people from other worlds only once a year for each world. Because if they're summoned frequently, it would affect this world. So, even considering the number of worlds in the Naroppa world group, the number of people summoned from here should originally be less than twenty a year."
Hmm, the current world population is about eight billion, so it's like one in four billion per year. I got an incredible probability, huh? I wonder how much money she need for this gacha?
"But if it's modified, for example, if each class in the school is summoned, it could develop into a mass disappearance incident, and you can do whatever you want, such as creating skills that shouldn't originally exist. But I had 'Copy Guard' embedded."
"It seems I have heard it. Like in some game, if it's not the official version, there's a bug where the ship never docks in the harbor forever... something like that?"
"Yeah. So, in the cracked Naroppa world, I embedded a specification that says, 'After modification, it operates normally for a while, but if the summoning count exceeds a certain number, a bug occurs.'"
"Isn't it bad if the bug occurs suddenly?"
"Yeah. Isn't it fun to trip up those who think, 'It's going well!'?"
I can't say much about others, but this guy also has quite a personality... Certainly! I think I'm like that too.
"So, the installed bug is that 'when the summoned person returns to their original world, their consciousness swaps with the crack user, and they are sent to this world.' Well, in simpler terms, it's like 'they're swapping places!'"
"You, do you know too much about the culture of this world...?"
"So, in this world... if we were to name it, it would be 'Crack God,' I suppose? If you kill the Crack God, it disappears. The person who should originally return regains their body, resurrects, and can come back to this world."
"Isn't that a pretty harsh punishment...? I mean, the god becomes human, right? Forgive them already."
"No. Crack gods should be thoroughly punished and ultimately eradicated. Moreover, the fact that 'eliminating the Crack God in my stead' itself becomes a trial, and power is returned to me. It's the appropriate end for fractured fans, don't you think?"
"Suing Crack Gods for compensation, huh? Hmm, content creators really hold a grudge against piracy."
Well, it might feel like my love for content has been tainted, not just for mere profit.
Well, I pretty much got the gist of it.
"So, you're telling me to kill that 'Crack God'?"
"Yeah. This will also involve rescuing people trapped in the Split-Naroppa World, a very noble mission."
"Yeah! Frankly, I don't care! I politely decline!"
In short, for this guy's benefit, is it telling me to work? Why do I have to do such a thing? Moreover, that desperate alternate world life was ultimately for this guy's gain.
"Huh? But Tadayuki, when you understood the betrayal of lovers and friends, you thanked me. It's a perfect chance to repay that debt."
"Yes! I'm very grateful! But that's completely different! Can I go home now? I have cram school!"
Well, now that I've heard this guy's damn nonsense, let's cancel the sacred area and go home. What should I have for dinner tonight?
At that moment when I was about to use my skill to release the Sanctuary, an outrageous condition came out of the Goddess's mouth.
"If you kill the number of crack gods we have discussed and decided, I'll let you lose your virginity."
Silence.
"...Who?"
"Of course, me. Ah, the special notes section isn't a lie, okay? I'm a virgin... so be gentle, alright?"
The goddess looks at me with upturned eyes! Moreover, her cleavage is intensely emphasized! The destructive power is outstanding!
Memories come back to me── it's the sensation from that day when I forcibly fondled those breasts. Is that going to be legal?
"Well, but..."
"Ah, should I make it the avatar of Princess Flora? Or maybe, your neighbor... Misa-san, was it? Making an avatar of that girl is also possible."
What... did she say? Choosing the appearance from a blonde lewd goddess, the peerless beauty Princess Flora with orange-brown hair, or the modest Misa-chan with black hair? What a proposal. Heh, but this goddess doesn't understand human psychology.
"You know, giving too many choices to humans, do you not know it has the opposite effect? Even in shopping, when there are too many choices, people end up giving up after hesitating."
"All of it?"
"All of itttttttttttt!!"
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord.
