"Alright. So, where are we going, and what do we need to do?"

I smiled to show my agreement. After that, a flood of information came from Makina as she calmly, though with a hint of excitement, relayed the details she'd gathered through her simulations.

Once she finished, it was my turn to speak.

"Let me get this straight."

°Yes.°

"We have to leave, visit each god's labyrinth, and receive their blessings."

"Yes, or find someone who already has their blessings to assist."

"Right. And we need to collect the required materials for the connection between worlds and gather enough power to support it, correct?"

"Yes, or alternatively, gather people who can help accumulate the power needed for the world's connection."

"That's one way to do it. Is that all?"

"Yes, unless the gods have any further instruction. That's our task."

"Ooh... so to summarize in game terms: Labyrinth exploration, quest rewards as blessings, material collection, and experience points grinding, huh?"

It seemed like a lot of work, but one thing was certain...

"It feels pretty familiar, honestly. No, it's not even that different from my usual gaming routine. It's a good thing what they're asking is something I'm familiar with. I wouldn't know what to do if they asked for something beyond my skillset. But considering they're gods, they probably already know exactly what I can and can't do. Ha, as expected of gods. I don't even mind having my mind read if it's for this kind of purpose—unlike that petty goddess over there."

•I am not a petty goddess! I'm a god just like the others!•

"Yes, yes. So, when do we start?"

°Considering the preparations, we could leave by tomorrow.°

•Hey, are you even listening?!•

Back to the topic, after listening to Makina's words, I started thinking about what we needed to do and came up with an idea.

"Hey, Makina, do you think we could run a livestream on our own?"

°For that question, it's better to ask the goddess.°

"Hey, Goddess."

•I'm not answering any questions from you, ungrateful mortal!•

"Petty, aren't you?"

•I'm not being petty! You're just being disrespectful!•

Well, considering my actions, I still believe I've been justified in how I've treated her, given what she's done to me. But I can't deny that being stubborn will only drag me down. Makina's already proven that by not trusting me to meet the gods—though I'm sure her main reason is to protect me.

Frustrating as it is, it's true that I am lacking.

Now, what to do... While being her attendant is out of the question, treating her coldly won't help either. It'll bring no merit, only the opposite. Treating her like a business partner seems like the right approach.

Hmm, yes, that sounds about right... treating her like a business partner....then...

"Goddess, if we're able to stream, if it's possible, then without a doubt you be able to gain a ton of followers from our world if you join the stream. Not only would you get followers, but you'd also become as famous as a celebrity. In fact, considering your appearance, you'd probably surpass even the most famous celebrities known by their appearance alone. I mean, you are a goddess, and if I'm being honest, you certainly look the part."

To be fair, despite her attitude, the goddess' appearance truly befits her title. If we forget about what's inside, she does embody the image of a goddess—at least in terms of looks.

•Hey, I can still read your mind, mortal, but as a merciful Goddess, I forgive you as I commend your effort to mend our relationship, and indeed, despite your hidden motives behind the proposal, what you've suggested is not wrong and is, in fact, true truly without blemish.•

As I coaxed the goddess with carefully chosen words that pleased her, however, being a goddess, she still saw through them but to prove her claim of being a merciful goddess, she sensed the sincerity within me and chose to forgive.

•To commend your effort, my repentant attendant, I shall answer your question. Let's see...•

"(…No, I still don't want to be your attendant.)"

I thought, hoping she'd pick up on it. But seeing her close her eyes in contemplation, it became clear that my plea had been ignored. She continued to ponder, leaving me no choice but to give up my refute—after all, I needed her answer.

•Hmm... if we use that instrument called the "internet" from your world, the power needed to send what you're asking for would be so minimal that I could solely provide it on my own to run the stream,• 

The goddess said, casually enumerating the details.

After her explanation, she then concluded with confidence, 

•So, to answer your question—Yes, I can run a stream from here to your world.•

"That's great! Then, Makina, we can proceed with the initial plan, right?"

°Aye, preparing and re-evaluating the initial plan. Initiating preparation and re-evaluation.°

•Wait, what plan?•

"Huh? I thought you'd already know, considering you can read my mind and dig into my memories."

•I don't search your memories because you said so and as for reading your mind.....I can't help it, okay—I'm a godly being. I passively pick up on the thoughts and intentions of mortals. There's no stopping that.•

"Ohhh... I didn't realize you had that kind of side of you"

•What are you implying, mortal? Wait—reading your thoughts... you think..I have no delicacy! You're the one who lacks delicacy, you disrespectful mortal!•

Yeah, I thought you really had no delicacy, but I see I was wrong. Since you're already reading my thoughts, you might as well access my memories too—*as long* as you promise not to divulge anything to others. And if you're wondering why I'm allowing this now, it's because... well, I can't stop you anyway since—

•I do have delicacy, you mortal!•

Right, sure. Well, you have my permission. Besides, it'll be easier this way if you know what we're doing, and it'll be more efficient. Borrowing Makina's words here.

"Makina, give permission to the goddess to access our shared database."

°Are you certain of this decision?°

"Yes. It's not like we can hide anything from her if she really wants to see it. Might as well save her power for more important things."

°Understood. Granting permission.°

•Ohhh, it's much easier to access your memories now. I must say, both you, mortal, and Makina are quite impressive for arranging things like this. To make it so this goddess can navigate through your memories with such ease is a remarkable feat. And, Makina, I recall how you intercepted my call earlier. Although I could've broken through it, it was still quite impressive. I should make you my apostle if I regain enough power to appoint one—and perhaps even my saint.•

°Thank you, Goddess.°

•Haha, you're welcome, Makina! Now, let's see what plans you both have... Oh... Ohh... *OHHHH*! YOU BOTH—ESPECIALLY MAKINA—ARE GENIUSES!•

•What is this plan? It's unthinkable that you mortals—*especially YOU*, MY ATTENDANT—came up with something like this! With this strategy, there's no doubt that this goddess will gain followers all over your world! I see no problem with helping you now.•

As I heard the goddess's words, I felt my body twitch, especially my forehead, where that classic anime anger vein mark would be. My patience was running thin, and I decided to speak up.

"Haha, thanks for that, Goddess. But honestly, I knew you had no delicacy at all."

•WHY!!!•

"Because I said so! I'm DAMN right in how I've treated you, and it's ALL JUSTIFIED."

And so, as another round of banter ensued, the plan to move forward so do my journey continued.
