Chapter 2 Company
- On the way to that place, Olivia and I chatted; even though this sword has an evil nature, it's the only one I can talk to.
- "Olivia and Zack, it's not like our names match a bit. Could it be that we were meant to be together?"
- "Damn, I am a Goddess if I send you to hell."
- "As a friend, you are beautiful... to me, you just look like a sword."
- "Yuck, if later you fall in love, watch out... I have a curvaceous body, its body-ody, long beautiful hair; every time I walk, it goes up and down well."
- If she put it that far, I wouldn't be sure.
- Following the cobblestoned streets, I finally arrived at a mansion with rose walls; whether it was a building or a courtyard, all of them were covered with plants.
- I hesitantly went inside and found a woman with long black hair in a similarly coloured gothic dress, one hand holding an umbrella while the other holding a flower sprinkler.
- Olivia, who was always silent when someone was around, spoke for the first time.
- "She's a vampire."
- "Can a vampire be this beautiful?"
- "You should look in the mirror for yourself, and your face is also beautiful even though you are a man."
- "It's your fault; give me my cool face back."
- "Look... in this world, there are more women than men; I don't want you to be stuck because of them. Thank me."
- "And who do I blame the situation on?"
- "It's all the demon lord's fault."
- "Is there a demon lord here?"
- War may kill many men who joined the war, and I don't want anything to do with the demon lord.
- More than that, I need money now.
- When I approached, the woman in front of me immediately retreated.
- "Why did you back off?"
- "Because you're a man, I can tell the gender of a person when I smell it."
- Finally, someone knows me without me having to mention it. I feel like crying when she keeps avoiding me.
- I took one step forward, and the woman took one step back; when I took one step back, she took one step forward.
- "What is this? Your name is Caroline. My name is Zack Draven. I came here to ask for golden caterpillars."
- "Just take as much as you want and get out of here," she said it while hiding behind the pillar of the house.
- "Why are you here?"
- "I fear men; they are beasts that try to take anyone's chastity away."
- Olivia burst out laughing.
- "You're a unique person, even though you're a vampire. You can kill them if you want."
- That's a word that a goddess shouldn't say.
- "Do I want to be a vampire?"
- "There are vampires who don't want to be vampires, and Zack, isn't that funny?"
- I just put on a troubled face.
- "Get out of here quickly. Usually, I don't want to give anything to anyone."
- After getting enough golden caterpillars, I immediately went to the river with a fishing rod that I made myself.
- ***
- I used the caterpillars I caught as bait until I got the five pufferfish in question, while I used the other fish for lunch.
- After making a fire, I started to roast it; after I cooked it, I took it, but when I realised two of them had disappeared, the culprit was sitting next to me.
- She looked like an Elf girl with dazzling silver hair, sparkling emerald green eyes, a high nose and thin lips as if stained with blood red.
- When she came down, she had white skin, like snow, as if it was transparent and wrapped in a dress of the same colour.
- "Olivia."
- "What's wrong, Zack? You are mesmerised by me, my waist is slim, and my chest is big. Am I your type? I'm sorry, I'm a Goddess. You won't be able to win my heart."
- Yep, unless she's silent, she's a sweet lady.
- "Can you get my face back to how it used to be?"
- "That's not a problem for me; it's just that you sure don't want to look like that."
- "Not at all; I like my old face."
- "Since I'm happy, I will grant your request."
- I looked back at my reflection in the still water of the river and saw I was just like I used to be, with short black hair covering my ears, black eyes and the same nose and mouth.
- I breathed a sigh of relief.
- "You sure are handsome with that face, so make sure not to try to find a Harem or something."
- "I'll cover my face with a mask," I said weakly.
- "That's good."
- "But on one condition?"
- "What's that?"
- I sat back down next to Olivia.
- "Please tell me who you are. And also why my status is so weak."
- "That's because I'm also weak; in the past, my power was sealed in six different places by all the strong people in this world; if you want to be strong, then you have to go to that place and take back my power."
- "Me? Wouldn't it be better if it were you?"
- "I guess I don't need it anymore. Do you better use it and can you not call me you? Call me Olivia."
- I just smiled wryly and continued.
- "About the Goddess?"
- "I am the evil Goddess previously feared by all beings in this world."
- "Huh?"
- I was speechless until I couldn't say anything else; a girl as beautiful as this was an evil Goddess.
- "I escaped the prison that imprisoned me when I used summoning magic in the meadow, and I chose you to be summoned to this world."
- "In other words, am I still alive?"
- Olivia nodded in agreement.
- "I don't want you to blame me for calling you here. When you fell, you were still alive."
- "So that's what happened."
- This is going to be tough.
- "If someone finds out I am with the evil Goddess, what will happen?"
- "Everyone will hunt you; demon lords, high priests, every kingdom and even other races will kill you."
- "You seem to have many enemies."
- "I'm bad; if you want to leave me, just go there."
- Even though Olivia said this and that she was scared if I left her alone, her hands were shaking now.
- "Fuck," I took a deep breath and continued.
- "It can't be helped; I've decided to continue like this since I'm already here."
- "Are you serious? I mean, it's only natural that I summoned you to this world after all."
- You idiot, how can I leave a lonely girl like you, especially since I like girls with big breasts and pointy ears?
- Can I touch it next time?
- As I was filled with strange thoughts, Olivia interrupted, "By the way, I can read people's minds."
- "Ugh." I choked until I coughed; I tried hard to beat my chest to swallow the food properly.
- "This food is very delicious. If only there were rice, everything would be perfect."
- "Don't pretend nothing happened." Olivia was still glaring at me with her cold gaze.
- ***
- After returning to the guild, I received money from the results of completing the quest; with this money, I could rent an inn and change the mask on my face, which was made entirely of leaves.
- "Ugh, why are you hiding your face?"
- "I think I'll be wearing a mask from now on."
- "Your voice is a little deep too."
- "It's just how you feel."
- I walked away while holding my sword in my hand; before I could get out, one of the adventurers accidentally bumped into me, causing me to fall to the floor.
- "Sorry, your body is weak, so I accidentally bumped into you."
- "It's okay; next time, be careful." Whiles cleaning my clothes, a fist hit me in the stomach, causing me to crash into the guild wall.
- "Sorry, my hands are a little slippery."
- "Don't worry; I'm sorry too. Your hand fell off."
- A severed hand appeared to lie with blood covering the floor until everyone was silent.
- "Ugh...... my hand."
