After finishing my talk with the Goddess, I headed home. She was just as unapologetically perverted as ever, it seemed. That golden-haired loli just lives completely carefree, huh? Well, that’s convenient for me, at least.
“I guess I’ve already unconsciously accepted that I’m her disciple, huh?”
“Of course you are, my comrade,” Siesta said with a smile. “We were all the Goddess’s children from the moment we were born.”
What a cutie! Come to think of it, I had been in the church before my offering to the Goddess, hadn’t I? “Have I been here all this time?”
“You were speaking with the Goddess, correct? To me it only looked like several seconds had passed... Oh? What’s this egg-like trinket?”
“Hm? Oh, this is a magic item I got from the Goddess that keeps prying eyes away. Mr. Sneaky, it’s apparently called.” I’d received it in the Goddess’s world, but it was in my hands in reality as though it was completely natural.
“By the way, Siesta, have you ever received anything like this? A reward from the Goddess, I mean.”
“A reward, you say? Why, yes, of course I have. Mostly in the form of sweets.”
“Sweets, huh? I guess anything goes with the Goddess, then.” Was that sort of thing listed in my catalog as well, I wonder? I opened it up to check.
“Oh? What’s that book?”
“This is a reward catalog the Goddess gave me last time I talked to her. Oh, wow, there are sweets in here—and all kinds too, looks like.” Not just the kinds found in convenience stores in Japan, but sweets made with exotic fruits from other worlds as well! The menu was so extensive, I couldn’t help but be interested.
“They all look delicious, but even the cheapest one is 50 SP. And the more expensive ones go up to 500 SP! Would the effort even be worth it?” Wait, wasn’t 500 SP supposed to be the value of one recovered sacred treasure? Just how delectable was this treat supposed to be, anyway?!
“It’s only natural the Goddess would require that level of devotion, considering the value of those sweets,” Siesta answered. “After all, fruits from other worlds are normally unobtainable by anyone other than the Goddess herself.”
“I suppose so. That makes them even more tempting, though...” I flipped through the catalog a little more, until my eyes landed on a certain entry:
[Skip Your Period (one use only): 35 SP]
According to the description, it was apparently a reward that allowed the user to skip their time of the month once, and you had to buy each use separately. “Note: Using this item in the middle of your period will immediately end it, so I recommend using it before it starts!” was the helpful disclaimer included.
I see...I am a girl now after all. And if it’s written in my catalog, I guess that means I have to go through periods just like any other girl, huh? “Hey Siesta, have you used this one before?”
“Oh—well, I’m a succubus, you see, so my body allows me to control menstruation and the like at will.”
Whoa! Talk about a useful trait! Anyway, all the other girls of the world get through this every month, so I think I can probably manage on my own as well—
“Tee hee, it seems that the Goddess truly favors you, my comrade. I must admit I am envious.”
“Er, in what way? It seems to me like she’s always trying to exploit me any way she can.”
“Hm? Oh, I see—perhaps you’ve yet to have your first period?”
First period... Right, come to think of it, I suppose that would be the case. And?
“Dear comrade, your periods are going to be excruciating and miserable. I’m a succubus, so I can sense these things.”
“Huh?” Um, excuse me? That actually sounds horrifying. Both my period and your ability.
“Oh? Look here, there’s something about a...sub-scrip-shun?” she said, peering at my catalog and pointing. “What might this refer to?”
“Hm? A subscription?” Let’s see what it says, then. “For a monthly payment of only 30 SP, you’ll get one pill every month! And as an added bonus, your first month is free!” Right... This is to ensure you’ll continue to get frequent deliveries, isn’t it, Goddess? I see your game.
“See? The Goddess has blessed you. She’s given you the opportunity to avoid your miserable, hellish menstruation experience for the price of one average pair of socks! At least in your case, I can say there will be a critical difference between having that pill in your life and not having it, so I’d highly recommend taking advantage of that offer.”
“Ha ha, you don’t say?” I managed a dry laugh. Well, if Siesta the succubus recommends it, I guess I ought to seriously consider it. Damn you, Goddess, you planted this bomb inside me on purpose, didn’t you? If this trap is what you consider a “blessing,” then I’d rather be unblessed!
Well, whatever. If that was how it was, I should look for that sacred treasure so I could buy that subscription—and maybe buy some sweets with whatever was left over! According to the Goddess, that treasure should be nearby and relatively easy to recover, so I decided to make that my priority!
