(088) Libra’s star visit

Translator: Tseirp

” ……… Goddess … sama.”

 

Looking at the person in front of me, I guessed that it’s really her.

She was the girl who I thought looked the most like a Goddess among the 6 Goddesses I saw at the church.

 

And she was in front of my eyes.

 

“If you wish to, you can invite all your companions as well. Just now, I looked through your Book of Heaven and Earth Creation.”

 

Book of Heaven and Earth Creation …?

Is it the name of this book?

I glanced at the fallen book through the side of my eye as I listened to her.

 

“With the permit, you would be able to invite your companions.”

“You … for what reason did you come here? I can’t invite my companions without knowing your aims.”

 

Goddess of Order and Equilibrium, in other words, the Goddess who governs the balance of the world.

Regardless of Koshmar-sama’s authorization, my job called Jobless and its skill is more than enough to break the balance of this world.

In the worst case, I would have to fight — no, there’s a possibility that I would die without being able to fight so there’s no way I would call the 3 of them.

 

“I did not come here to punish you. I’m working in order to reveal the full picture of your Jobless skill that shouldn’t originally exist. Koshmar-senpai and Torerul have the same opinion. I came in order to set constraints on your this world.”

 

Those words made me feel relieved.

 

“Okay. Then — ”

 

I changed my jobs to Magic-orientated jobs and created permits after my MP increased.

The permits were something like seals. They all had 「★」 marks drawn on them.

Libra-sama looked at it and explained to me that it probably will show it’s effect when I affix the seal on whichever part of the body I like. Meaning that it would not work if I affix it on clothes.

I made permits for 3 people’s share all at once so 300 of my MP was consumed in 1 go and I was hit with fatigue.

I took a deep breath and readjusted my breathing.

 

“Well then, see you later.”

 

I placed my hand into the spatial rift and returned to the inn.

 

Returning to the inn, it seemed like the 3 of them were patiently waiting for me.

 

“Thanks for waiting. It seems like you all will be able to enter if you paste this seal onto whichever part of your body.”

 

I passed the star-shaped seals I had on my fingertips to the 3 of them.

Haru pasted it on the back of her hand while Carol pasted it on the top of her foot.

Once pasted, they melted into the skin like paint seals.

 

“If it’s like that, will you be able to peel it off easily?”

“Er, yes, it seems like I can peel it off easily if I want to peel it off. But it will not fall off even with intense hand movements.”

 

Haru once again pasted the seal that she peeled off and shook her hand but it didn’t show any signs of falling off.

 

“Rather, oi, Marina, why are you pasting the seal there?”

 

For some reason, that girl pasted the seal on her own left cheek.

 

“Umu, I actually wanted a seal like this.”

“Totally feeling fashionable huh.”

 

Well, either way, it’s not a seal that would warrant trouble even if it’s seen.

 

“Then, let’s go. Once you reach that side, there’s a previous guest so properly greet her okay.”

 

The 3 of them seemed suspicious towards the ‘previous guest’ words I mentioned.

 

※※※

 

Once they reached the other side, Haru and Carol both gave their greetings without fail. Or rather it was closer to prostrating.

They were on both their knees with their heads lowered.

 

“Hou … interesting, a Goddess.”

” … Ei.”

 

I leaked out a cute voice and snatched Marina’s mask.

As soon as that happened, Malina’s complexion became ghastly pale and she admirably decided to prostrate herself.

If I was scoring her, it would be a score close to full marks.

 

“These would be all the members, Libra-sama.”

“Thank you for the hard work, Ichinojo-san.”

“Er … Libra-sama. It’s been bothering me since before and it doesn’t really matter since it’s already been such a long time but my name is Ichinosuke instead of Ichinojo so is it possible to correct it?”

“No, your name is Ichinojo. It is an unexpected matter on this side but it is apparently related to the customs of your world. That’s right, please ask Minerva about that. Since she’s the expert on it.”

“Minerva?”

“The Goddess of Magic, Sorcery, and Witchcraft.”

“Would I be able to meet her?”

“Let’s see, there are a couple of her labyrinths in the southern continent. I’ll make arrangements such that you will be able to meet her when you visit there.”

 

It doesn’t seem like it’s an error that my name is Ichinojo instead of Ichinosuke.

She couldn’t tell me the reason why but well, lately I’ve really been thinking that it doesn’t really matter so I guess it’s fine.

 

“Well then, Ichinojo-san. And your companions. It is strictly forbidden to reveal anything said here to any other people. Understood?”

 

The 3 of us gave affirmations to Libra-sama’s question.

Malina was nodding her head so much to the point that it was about to fall off.

 

“Ichinojo-san, regarding this space you made using the skill called ‘Hikikomori’ — ”

 

Malina’s gaze directed towards me upon hearing Libra-sama’s speech.

Yes, I was putting on airs. I lied saying that it’s called My World. Yes, I’m a Hikikomori.

 

“This space is the same type as our Goddess domain.”

 

I was not very surprised at those words.

Since after looking at the sky and the spread out pure white space, well, I thought that it resembled the God’s world.

 

“Thankfully, because Ichinojo-san added a restriction by performing Star Creation immediately, the world regained balance and this space was disconnected from the God’s domain. That was something delightful to me. For you and for us Goddesses.”

“Wait a minute, eh? For this to be the same type as the God’s domain, it wasn’t an advanced skill in the space-time magic like the item bag?”

“Does Ichinojo-san know the capacity of an item bag?”

“N, no.”

“Otherworld … it is 1% of the planet you are on.”

” … Eh?”

 

1% of a planet, doesn’t that mean it’s practically infinite?

 

“But, this world — this world that you made has no limit. It’s a universe on its own.”

“One … universe?”

“Yes. Compared to this world, the capacity of the item bag is equal to zero.”

 

What Libra was saying was probably how 1/∞ and 1oo trillion/∞ is still equals to zero.

 

“So, does that mean master has become a God?”

 

Haru asked with a tensed expression. But, Libra shook her head.

 

“No, the person who created this world is not Ichinojo-san. The one who messed with the Jobless skill and constructed a chance for the Jobless skill to connect to this world was another being. What Ichinojo-san did was merely create the door. Even this star is not something created by Ichinojo-san.”

 

Libra gave a smile at that point,

 

“Although, Ichinojo-san, this star already belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it. Using my power, I will extend a barrier over this star to not only protect you from the real creator of this world but also make it such that you can use that Book of Heaven and Earth Creation as you have been using it until now. In exchange — ”

 

She extended her hand. A wand appeared and the tip pointed at a place that had nothing.

When that happened, a pure white observatory-like building suddenly appeared there.

 

“I will create a base for me to observe this world. I will occasionally drop by so I hope that you will accept just this request.”

“Understood. Thank you.”

“No, I should be the one who should be thanking you. Thank you for cooperating, Ichinojo-san.”

 

Libra-sama said as she began walking away, her figure gradually became more transparent and finally, she disappeared.

The nervous Haru and Carol stood up after 10 seconds.

Malina … was unconscious.

  2. 28th00

    3/6 met so far amiright? He’s beyond casual with them to the point of “Do I even need to care about your status? I’m already jobless, what more do I have to lose!?”

    Thanks for the chapter.

  3. Ascending Flame

    Hmmmm.

    Ichinojo confirmed not achieving god status, check.

    “I will create a base for me to observe this world. I will occasionally drop by (. . . )”
    Not only that, you also want to keep an eye on the one who actually created this universe. . . .

  4. Mau

    Thanks for the chapter! My guess is that the True Demon Lord is the one that created that space or a God that turned evil

  5. Artie

    So She wants a piece of The Pie n He just lets her Have IT?

  6. I got this feeling that the goddesses just wanted to have fun being a stalker…

    Thanks for the chapter~~

  7. Stephanie

    Thanks for the chapter

  8. Thanks for the new chapter!

  9. Goddess: You can do whatever you want to this world.(turn it into a paradise resort. I will leve all the work to you). I will come by sometimes to observe(relax).

  10. Nyamsus

    Tell me! Will she get bribed with JP cuisines too

  11. TamaSaga

    Balance must be maintained, right goddess? So why’d you mess with the waters and call the skill by its real name? Is there no balance in truth and lies?

    • Zakufan

      There are no lies in perfect order, why would a goddess of order and balance force herself to disregard half of what she does for half of the other half (aka 0.5>0.25?

  12. Ungrave

    Everyone is all suspicious about where all the jobless skills came from, but I bet it was just one of the programmers, bored and messing around with some code that would never be seen by anyone. That’s what I did at my job anyway…

  13. Random Internet User (tm)

    It’s always confusing how the Japanese word for ‘star’ can mean anything from realm, planet, all the way up to plane (to steal the D&D term) or even universe.

    Thank you kindly for the chapter!

    • Nyesh

      I’ve never heard it used for plane or realm, but its use for planets and stars is due to the same reason that planets were once called “wandering stars” in English.

      And, in all honesty, the word “planet” actually comes from a Greek phrase that directly translates as “wandering star”. So, in a certain sense, English-speakers are still referring to worlds as stars.

  14. SFcipher

    Thank you for the chapter and have a Happy New Year.

    ” my job called Jobless and its skill is more than enough to break the balance of this world”
    Typical Japanese mc full of himself. Go destroy a world and only then you can speak about “enough to break the balance” or similar bullcrap.
    It was one of my favourites up to this point.

    • Er… You do remember that it was one of the goddesses that told him Jobless was broken, right? He didn’t come up with that out of nowhere…

    • Ardorius

      Well, I definitely feel like it “breaks the balance”, because it allows him and his party to use multiple jobs at the same time, overlapping all of their stats and skills, allowing him to possess insane amounts of power (at least from the view of other people in that world) even though he’s mostly using weaker jobs like ” hunter”. And now his “Jobless” even gave him the ability to control and change his own universe.

      • goo21

        You are overestimating the powers and HUGELY underestimating the balance. Balance is more omnipresent and omnipotent than any gods or beings can ever be.

    • Light

      …You do realize that the information of the ridiculous opness of his Jobless Skill getting out WOULD break the balance, right? Imagine if suddenly there are hundreds or thousands of chosen humans who got the info and gained like 3 or 4 classes (albeit because of xp it’d take them quite a few years). If that happened whole ecosystems would collapse from xp farming, the group that got the info would probably be able to overthrow countries and rule humanity (nobles already control everything because they’re stronger), and it’d be absolute chaos. Classes are already balanced by the gods, so imagine someone literally having several times more power than others.

      • goo21

        You are overestimating his balance breaking powers by 400 times experience, exactly how his blessings work. It is impossible to anyone other than someone with at least that much to get enough levels to be useful in their lifetime and longer lived races require far more exp to level to balance. And with all his “overpowered” he can still be easily taken down by a group of professional assassins or a bigger group of soldiers.

      • goo21

        People already know it is bad for ecosystems to collapse, he was told by receptionist to tone down his overhunting. And it only lasts for one lifetime as far as everyone knows. Will you risk destroying the world for one time (lifetime) use power? I guess someone like you who overestimates his power definitely would.
        I recommend you to read Arcane Emperor story on RoyalRoad. It has much better writing than this and mc who doesn’t overestimate or underestimate himself. If this story is 5-6/10 then Arcane Emperor would be 7.5-8.5/10. And if you rate this story higher then AE would be still that much higher. They have 2.5 points difference in 10 points scale.

  16. “Goddess’s secret base construction complete.”

    Author has good hobbies…

  17. airsblue

    So goddess will start gathering on this base for party from now on?

    I wonder if his sister was the one who messed with that, or is there evil god now?

    Thanks for the chapter 🙂

  18. roro

    The one who created that world is satou dont ask just bite with it

    • Christian Korsbæk

      if he created it where are all the lolies then?

      • Nyesh

        He must have created it early on, while still trying to escape from that curse.

      • gabon

        True loli exist not for the eyes but for the heart

        If you belive in loli hard enough then the loli will exist inside our heart

        Yes loli!
        No touch!

  19. And none of them put the star on their left shoulder blade.

  20. sergioGM

    thanks 🙂

  21. jalog100

    Reader’s note : Thanks for writing and translating

  22. aram

    rather then jobless it should be job bless

  23. Mikan

    so he restrained himself?
    “Thankfully, because Ichinojo-san added a restriction by performing Star Creation immediately, the world regained balance and this space was disconnected from the God’s domain. That was something delightful to me. For you and for us Goddesses.”

    suspicious…

  24. PastOne/HikariToKage

    Thanks

  25. Chuo

    Jejeje, was expecting a little more action in this but oh well.
    Thanks for the translation ✌.

  26. Indream

    Hmm, what if goddess lied? What if Ichino achieved god status or near it? And also his name, he said there is mistake, but goddess said that there is none. What if he like his imouto not mere mortal, but like her existance thats more than human? He just dont remember and key to it is his name?

  27. Bacem

    I still not know, what libra goddes true intention with observing ichino.

    Maybe the one that broken ichinojo existence is the one that made his former imouto a demon lord.

  28. Kortodo

    I’ll bet that the goddess simply wanted a place she could go and chill. Before we know it, all the goddesses will have an “observatory” in that world.

  29. hayka

    Well a lot sure is happening huh? So does that mean that all the settings for jobless skill…is Ichinojo actually being manipulated from a long time?

  30. Angel

    Interesting 😀

    thx for the chapter ^^

  31. pokeperson1000

    Let’s just hope Goddess Libra doesn’t accidentally end up visiting/checking up on them when he’s having fun time with Haru.

    • Granitefish

      She’s the Goddess of Order and Balance. The Reproduction and Dying of a Species is important to balance. I doubt she will purposely interrupt it.

  32. spoilerproof

    thanks for the chapter~ and happy new year~
    dat malina hahahaha

  33. Xaed

    I’m excited because the one who created it might be the imouto

  34. Ricecal

    Thank you very much

  35. She’s a pervert totally just wants to observe his times with haru

  36. Lucifart

    So I don’t know if this is truly just a heartwarming story but I just don’t like these Goddesses. I don’t like others like me. :v

  37. Seregosa

    “No, the person who created this world is not Ichinojo-san. The one who messed with the Jobless skill and constructed a chance for the Jobless skill to connect to this world was another being. What Ichinojo-san did was merely create the door. Even this star is not something created by Ichinojo-san.”

    Wow… I hope the mc becomes a true god later on 😀

  38. Meatbun Delivery~
    Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)

    *still busy hunting meat*

  39. CCaprice

    Thanks for the chapter.

    Goddess Harem candidate.

  40. LibraForTheHarem

    So can a Goddess wear a collar?

  41. so the goddesses will come down to hang out in there lol.

    But now I”m curious. The culprit between the power to make this world could be Miri, his “sister”, but… would she have the adequate power to do that ? as a simple demon lord ?
