Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter51，Part2

Chapter 51.2. The Spectacular Goddess Appears!

“Garbage. Throw it away quickly.”

“No, you can use it as a weapon or magic armor.”

“Garbage. So many net gamers store unused trash in the warehouse like that.”

Saying so, Frigg punches a hole in the space and throws it roughly into the [Subspace Warehouse] equipped in the [My Room]. The [Subspace Warehouse] is a super-sized item box. You could say it holds an infinite number of items. The party characters can use it, too.

“Yes, that’s true, but you know what?”

I’m sure it’ll come in handy someday. Maybe, just maybe, someday. I believe that, don’t you? It looks like garbage to me. By the way, Grandpa lost interest and went back to his device.

“Let’s see, magic copper, lots of magic iron, and about 50 mithril.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll put them away.”

I think it’s worth a lot, but it’s no good.

“There’s a lot of silver, a little bit of gold. A lot of gems, too.”

The guard ants always drop many gems, and the winged ants drop silver nuggets and sometimes gold nuggets. There are quite a few. The table is full of precious metals, and it’s a dazzling sight.

“I’ll put them away.”

Frigg does the same in the subspace warehouse.

“Hey, why do you put your right hand in the warehouse and your left hand in your item box, Frigg-oneesan?”

“It’s to fund our activities. And the gems are all different sizes, so I’ll sell the bad-quality ones.”

I see. We need the money for the war effort. But there is one more thing that concerns me.

“Hey, why do you sometimes put jewelry in your mouth?”

“To check the quality, you taste it with your mouth. Like diamonds, it’s a cool feeling.”

Frigg occasionally puts a gemstone in her mouth as she puts it away. Is it a snack? She eats them as if they were snacks.

“I see… you didn’t spit it out! Did you swallow it?”

You ain’t checking the quality. You’re eating it, onee-san!

“I’m just grabbing it and eating it. You see, it says so in the text flavor. I’m a sucker for precious metals. It’s my favorite.”

Here, I call up the flavor text and point to a sentence. It’s certainly written that way.

“This was a food-like description? And it’s flavor text! I mean, Grandpa, she’s going to increase our Engel’s coefficient!”

I mean, eating jewelry, that’s terrible! I need a change, please! Grandpa helps me.

“Let her earn more than that. Besides, you should see how much you eat those stuff.”

Grandpa was cold. He treated us as if we were strangers. I remember an anecdote about Odin not returning to the palace until Frigg is dead. I knew they didn’t get along.

“It’s okay, young lady. There were so many jewels, so I couldn’t help but eat them, wondering if I could eat them, but usually about one a month is fine. I also eat normal food, and silver accessories for snacks. I’m satisfied just by eating those.”

“One a month, huh? Come to think of it, this world produces gems from dungeons, but the price doesn’t change.”

I suddenly realized as I’m thinking of asking to find a dungeon that drops garbage gems. It is strange. Wouldn’t they get overflowed with gems?

“That’s because they’re used as catalysts for magic and magical tools. That’s why the value of jewelry is so high. With magical gems, there’s no ceiling.”

“Oh, they disappear when you use them. I see.”

Grandpa was helpful with the information. I am sorry. He would already surpass Miu in terms of market and social knowledge. Cheat, cheat grandpa. I envy him.

“Well, don’t worry, We’ll make that much money from this fund with plenty of time to spare.”

“Yeah, thanks for the encouraging words. And that’s not cream puffs, you know. It’s a gold nugget.

Frigg munches on the gold nugget with relish. What’s going on with Frigg’s teeth? Does it have the ability to nullify the defenses of precious metals?

After eating it with a muggy gulp under Miu’s jittery gaze, Frigg puts her hand on her cheek and smiles elegantly.

“Oh my, I’m sorry. I thought it was cream puffs. You hear a lot about golden cream puffs, don’t you?”

The goddess shows no signs of being offended at all. I don’t want the jewel dropped from queen ant to get eaten, so I’ll leave it in the item box.

Seeing me not making a tsukkomi, she shrugs her shoulders in resignation and smiles bewitchingly with a huff.

“Well, don’t worry, my dear. I am the goddess of love and fertility. In other words, a goddess of good fortune. In no time, I will create the wealth and power you desire.”

“Really?”

I’ll cry if it’s not true. Miu, the beautiful girl, is going to cry.

“Yes. The young lady wants to get the property and power without anyone noticing. I’ll share my knowledge, but apparently, it’s easier in the modern world than in the ancient. With the power of love, fertility, and my abilities, it should be a piece of cake.”

Frigg winks with a snap and confidently deflects her ample breasts with a pout. I’ll leave it to you, okay?

“Well then, for now.”

“For now?”

“It’s almost midnight. I’m going to bed.”

I’ve been up too late. It’s midnight in the original world. I came to “My Room” after secretly saying good night to my parents. So it’s time for me to go to sleep. Please continue tomorrow night.

Good night.
