Chapter 114: Naked God (2)

...

‘Maybe I overdid it.’

Runald felt a bit sorry for Andersen.

‘I’m the only one she has.’

Other than her Vicegerent, no one in <Depth> that followed Andersen. Having just one Follower meant that Andersen’s world could disappear at any moment.

“…Goddess, are you there?”

Andersen was quick-tempered and picky, but Runald liked her. Her voice made him remember his lost younger sister. Andersen’s voice was very similar to his sister’s. This was why Runald did not betray the low-ranking God Andersen. She was now the only family he had.

‘Oh well. I’ll play along a bit more.’

Runald then asked, “Goddess, should we look around for a bit more?”

[…Huh? Really??]

Andersen’s voice brightened up and Runald smiled bitterly.

Andersen was still a God. But Gods required Followers. She, too, would want to become stronger. And the rumors said that she used to be a high-ranking God of the Depth. It was through betrayal that she was dragged down to where she was now.

‘But she wouldn’t have picked me if she was at a high rank.’

Runald was somewhat thankful for Andersen’s unfortunate turn of events.

‘And it might be good if we have one more… the Goddess should be less sad.’

Then, Runald smelled something.

He first thought he was mistaken. But as he tried again, it wasn’t mistaken at all.

“Huh?”

[What is it?]

“Goddess, do you smell water nearby?”

[…I don’t have the nose to smell it.]

Runald ignored her and began searching around. The neared where the smell was coming and Andersen quietly watched. And after a while, they found a small open space in the forest. Runald screamed as he looked at the center of it.

“T-th-there it is! Goddess! It’s really there!!”

[W-whoa!]

There was a small silvery pond at the center. It was the place called [Fishing Spot] where spirits could be fished up. They had found the place.

Most famous Fishing Spots that had tens of spirits fished up the day had already occupied high-ranking Gods. Lower-ranking Gods were then forced to use public [Fishing Spots]. These spots had maybe one spirit throughout a few days and even those were competed against amongst the Gods.

Runald and Andersen had found a new [Fishing Spot].

“M-maybe we can really get a [Follower]!”

[W-what should I do if we do get it?!]

Andersen also seemed to be excited. It was known that newly found Fishing Spots had good energy in them so lost spirits were drawn to it. That was why a lot of lower-ranking Gods and their Vicegerents searched for new [Fishing Spots]. Most of them had to either return empty-handed or get killed.

[Maybe we can fish up a lot!]

“W-what should we do?!”

[I’ll get a lot of [Followers] and change [Setting] and buy [Parts]….!]
