Chapter 85 – Descent Reservation
“Loki-kun~ Are you alive? It’s been four days since I heard that you went into the forest, but you haven’t used Divine Communication at all, so I contacted you.
If you’re still alive, please use it as soon as possible.)”
“Acha~…”
I couldn’t help but mutter.
I knew that they would use the Oracle sooner or later.
That’s why I wanted to finish it before they contacted me…
Four days already, huh?
Yes, I skipped Divine Communication for the last four days.
The reason is that I’ve been using my magic power even before I reached 60.
It’s not that I got tired of talking to the goddesses.
It’s just a matter of my nature that once I start a task, I can’t get rid of it until I finish it.
“I’m almost done…”
I use Explore to find various monsters, and when I find that they are not within 30 meters of me, I activate the status screen.
My remaining magic power is 34.
So, if I can accumulate magic power for another hour or so, I will be able to use Divine Communication for a while.
“(An hour later, it would be around 21:00. I guess it can’t be helped. I can’t let them worry about me, so I’ll give up today’s work.)”
After a quick glance at the work in progress in front of me, I returned to the base hole.

Divine Communication
“Hello, this is Loki. I apologize for the delay in contacting you.”
“(Ahhh..! Loki, you’re alive!)”
“(Thank goodness~! I was worried that something had happened to you, you know~?)”
“(I told you, right? He’s not the kind of guy who dies that easily.)”
“(What are you talking about? You’ve been chanting like a Buddhist monk every day that you haven’t heard from him.)”
“(You’ve been so busy…)”
“(Even Riste said she was going to bring down the split entity in the Lulub Forest!)”
“Hey, hey, stop! Stop! This is going the same way as the first time!”
“(That’s right, I’m sorry.)”
“(I’m sorry.)”
“(Sorry…)”
“(I’m sorry, okay~)”
“(I will speak on their behalf today…)”
“You must be Ferill-sama. Nice to meet you.”
It feels like Alicia-sama’s words are all overlapping…
I wonder if I should push her in?
I am aware that she is the leader of the goddesses, but I can’t help but feel that she is being treated poorly.
“(So, Loki-kun, I heard you were in the Lulub Forest, were you really that busy?)”
“Well, partly because I was busy defeating monsters, but also because I wanted to take a bath for a while.”
“(A bath? But you went all the way to Lulubu Forest?)”
“It’s even more because it’s in Lulub Forest. I get a lot of blood back every day, and I’m sweaty from running around all day, so it’s pretty tiring…)”
“(I see~. That’s something to look forward to.)”
“Yes. I wanted to get in as soon as possible, so I used a lot of magic every night.”
“(If you have a purpose, it can’t be helped.)”
“Oh, by the way, can I ask you a question?”
“(It’s okay, you know~?)”
“I really wanted to create iron, but I couldn’t. Is it possible to create iron using… Earth Magic?”
“That would be impossible~. If you want to separate the metal from the material, it should be Alchemy, right? It should be Ferrin or Riste who are familiar with that area though~)”
“I see, so it was Alchemy! That’s why I can’t do it; I don’t have that skill.
Thank you for your help. Thank you!”
“(Don’t worry about it~. By the way, is Loki still in the Lulub Forest?)”
“I think so. Since my level still seems to be rising, I think I’ll probably stay for another half month or so.”
“(That’s good~)”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“(Next time, I will bring the split entity down to the lower world~)”
Hmm?
Hmm?
Even after hearing the answer, the question is, “What do you mean?”
The goddess is bringing down the split entity to find a transmigrator, right?
Then she said that I should stay in the Lulub Forest…
Don’t tell me she means it’s better because she can use Ria-sama’s split entity as a reference point and doesn’t have to meet with me at all?
As expected, I’d be shocked if she said that!
“((((He said he’d be shocked if we didn’t meet!!!))))”
“(Loki-kun, you’re so cute! No, isn’t it~? I’m going to drop off my split entity in the Lulub Forest, so I’m looking forward to it~!)”
“Huh? Not in a city, but in Lulub? There are no people here, you know?”
“(It’s only for one day, just like Ria~. I’m also in charge of studying the ecology of monsters.)”
“I-I see…”
Since she put it that way, I guess I have to agree with her.
It is true that it was Ferril-sama who said that the Rush skill was only for monsters, and although she seems to be relaxed, she might actually be the one who knows the most about it.
“(So I’m looking forward to it… the bath~!)
“…Huh?”
She was different. She was just a bath lover.
“(I think it will be about 3 days before I come to the lower world, so please finish it by then, okay?)”
“Y-yes. I’ll do my best…”
Hmm, is it good?
When it’s finished, everyone can come in, but as it is, there’s nothing to cover…
Well, it’s not a place for people to come in, and even Alba-san and the others who might come near my base go back to Bezart to cash in their materials by the evening or so.
No one will see them then.
I’m there, but… I’m right in front of my base, and I think I’m close…
“(…Ferril. Loki’s a pervert, so be careful.)”
“Eh? Ria was listening too!
“((((((…..))))))”
“(Wait, what do you mean! Ria! It’s Ria! Loki-kun, you just called her by her name!)”
“(Loki! Even if it is Loki, that’s really disrespectful!?)”
“(I would like to hear the details of the situation from both sides regarding this matter? And also about the pervert matter.)”
“(What can I say…? No way a goddess and an otherworlder…)”
“..Hello? Hello?”
Somehow, I always felt sorry for Alicia-sama, but today was even worse.
But that doesn’t matter now.
I wonder if the other goddesses will kill me for calling her like that.
Ria-sama even went out of her way to make me practice, and I was only halfway through the calling instruction…
I didn’t want to call her like that myself…
I used both the Oracle and Divine Communication.
And the only way to get in touch with them from the Goddesses would be to descend the split entity with me as the point of contact.
“T-t-t-t-they’re not going to suddenly appear right next to me and interrogate me, are they?”
I was so worried that I could hardly sleep that day.
