“Spirit medicine?”
“Let's not talk about that now. Lily, you can take a nap for a while. The porridge will be ready soon.”
Eriri closed her eyes, but opened them again after a few breaths, looking innocent: “But I'm not sleepy at all. I can't fall asleep.”
They chatted for a while, and the porridge was already cooked. Sawamura Sayuri scooped a small bowl and brought it over. She used a spoon to scoop some up, blew on it to cool it down, and then handed it to Eriri.
“Lily, aaaa…”
“Mom, I'm not a child anymore!” Eriri was speechless. This way of feeding could only be used on children a few years old. She was a high school student now. Being fed like this was too embarrassing.
“Right now, Lily, you're a patient. Be good!”
“I can't do anything with you!” Eriri had no choice but to obey. “Mmm, delicious!”
The plain white porridge was better than all the delicacies she had ever tasted. The rich aroma of rice seemed to heal her soul and make her completely relax.
She finished a small bowl in one go and was still not satisfied, but Sawamura Sayuri wouldn't let her have more.
“Lily, you haven't eaten anything for days. Just have a little bit to recover first.” Sawamura Sayuri pulled out a tissue and wiped her daughter's mouth, then tucked the blanket in. “Now sleep for a few hours, and when you wake up, Mom will prepare you a feast.”
Eriri sighed: “Alright!”
Closing her eyes, she seemed to be back in that hellish world, with evil spirits everywhere.
She jumped in fright and opened her eyes. Seeing her mother sitting beside her, she felt a little reassured. Sleepiness came over her, and she gradually drifted off to sleep.
…
“Does Ruri classmate have to fight those monsters every day?”
Shiina Mahina looked at Ruri with curious eyes and a gentle voice.
Ruri shook her head: “Not really. It's more like Hui and Hua have to fight the evil spirits every day. You'll see for yourself later. After seeing those monsters, would Shiina classmate still want to join our club?”
Shiina Mahina nodded solemnly: “Since the evil spirits are not invincible, then they are not so scary.”
Whether it was Ruri or the other club members, she felt a long-lost sense of warmth from them. It was something she had never encountered in her daily life. This warmth, like a candle flame, like the sun. Even if there was danger, she was willing to follow, like a moth to a flame, sacrificing herself.
“Ding, congratulations, God-sama, harem +1.”
A clear voice sounded.
Ruri was speechless and looked at Kasuga no Shizuka: “Senior, don't be so silly.”
“Harem…”
Shiina Mahina's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Yotsuya Mikoto was calm. She was already used to it. In the club, Kasuga no Shizuka was the one who liked to drive the most. Unfortunately, she was a bark worse than her bite. She liked to drive, but she only drove fake cars. Once you got used to it, you wouldn't need to worry about it.
“Shiina classmate, don't mind her. Kasuga no Shizuka just likes to joke around.”
“Hmm.”
Back home, they put their weapons in the basement and also brought some dragon meat up.
“Maru, I don't want to go out again today. How about we just make do with dragon meat?” Ruri looked at the half-elf Marusir.
“Well, it's not impossible. I guess dragon meat is not unacceptable.” Marusir was a little hesitant, but she didn't refuse. It seemed that after seeing everyone like dragon meat so much, she wasn't so resistant to the flesh of monsters anymore.
“Dragon meat?” Shiina Mahina was surprised. “You don't mean those real dragons, do you?”
Yuzuriha Hua was excited and boasted: “It's those dragons, Shiina classmate. Dragon meat is delicious. You'll see for yourself in a while.”
Shiina Mahina opened her eyes, and her eyes were filled with awe.
Yotsuya Mikoto and Kato Megumi pushed Ruri away from the kitchen.
“Ruri, just wait and eat.”
“Yeah, didn't Ruri say that being a god means being a couch potato?”
Shiina Mahina was a little uneasy and stood up: “I'll help too.”
Yotsuya Mikoto shook her head: “Shiina classmate, you should accept the boon first. After accepting the boon, you can become like us, leveling up by fighting monsters.”
“Leveling up, like in games?”
Even though Shiina Mahina was an angelic, straight-A student, she was not someone who was oblivious to the world. After all, Japan's anime and gaming industries were very developed. Even if she hadn't played, she had heard of them. She had some basic knowledge of games.
Ruri waved to Shiina Mahina and said: “Shiina classmate, come over here. In simple terms, I am a god. I can bestow boons upon others. And boons can allow people to accumulate various experiences. Whether it's training or fighting monsters, there is experience. Once you accumulate enough experience, combined with achievements, you can level up.”
“Now, Shiina classmate, show me your back.”
Shiina Mahina's cheeks flushed red: “My back?”
Although many evening gowns show off the back, this was too embarrassing for a high school student. Kasuga no Shizuka was holding a laptop and typing on the keyboard. She looked up and said: “The boon is inscribed on the back. Of course, if you want, I think God-sama can also inscribe the boon on your lower abdomen, in front.”
Shiina Mahina's face turned bright red: “Wouldn't that be even worse?”
It was a good thing Eriri wasn't here, otherwise, she would immediately think of many things. That's not a tattoo, is it!
She looked up at Ruri and pointed to the room next door.
“Ruri, can I borrow that room for a while?”
Ruri nodded: “Of course.”
Shiina Mahina breathed a sigh of relief and went into the room. After a while, a thin voice as faint as a mosquito buzzed: “I'm ready.”
Entering the room, she saw Shiina Mahina already lying on the bed, revealing her white and smooth back. Upon seeing this, Ruri's first impression was not anything else, but… such a beautiful back, it would be a shame not to use it for cupping.
In a flash of thought, he cast those thoughts aside.
Ruri squeezed out a drop of divine blood and inscribed the boon on Shiina Mahina.
Shiina Mahina
Lv.1
Strength: I0 Endurance: I0 Agility: I0 Dexterity: I0 Magic: I0
Magic: [], [], []
Skills: 【One-Hearted Adoration】(Briefly)
【Heart of Servitude】
·Heart of serving the divine is unwavering, not susceptible to external divine seduction.
·Faithful, providing 10,000 faith power daily.
·Experience growth acceleration.
“Meow?” Ruri was startled. His眷族 had a One-Hearted Adoration skill. This was too absurd. In addition, Heart of Servitude was also very powerful. Not being susceptible to external divine seduction meant that seduction skills from the likes of the Goddess of Beauty would be useless against Shiina Mahina. This was too useful in some worlds.
10,000 faith a day. One person's daily faith power was equivalent to 10,000 ordinary people's faith power. Even if Shiina Mahina did nothing but laze around, Ruri could still harvest some divine power a day.
As for the experience bonus, combined with the growth bonus of One-Hearted Adoration, the two combined would make Shiina Mahina's leveling speed unbelievably fast, even without him giving her any buffs. Cheater!
He copied the data and handed it to Shiina Mahina, explaining it to her once again.
A hint of happiness flashed in Shiina Mahina's eyes: “So, my abilities are pretty good?”
“No!” Ruri shook his head. “It's not just pretty good. It's incredibly good. It's practically cheating. Mahina, my hopes for being a couch potato are all pinned on you.”
Shiina Mahina was a little embarrassed: “Even if God-sama says that, I'm still very weak.”
“Take your time.” Ruri stood up. “You can tidy up. You can eat soon.”
