Chapter 075: Advice

Going back into the game was quite uneventful, maybe even anticlimactic, as who was going to stop me from moving around in my own dorm room.

Plus my armed unit was still focused trying to find me that portable energy generator.

As such only two of them remained behind; mostly so that they could easily receive orders rather than actually trying to protect me. Only those who didn't know me believed I required protection. Something I planned to make true in the other world as well.

Logging in again dropped me inside the bar where I immediately noticed the pair who brought me here were already in conversation. That short master of mine had a drink in her hand as she vigorously moved her hands about. Making me wonder how the liquid didn't fall out of the glass…

Until I realised she was cheating with that liquid kinesis ability of hers; whenever some of that fluid looked to be about to fly over the rim… It just floated back in.

Additionally that liquid was a very certain yellow making me wonder if she was that type of pervert.

Alternatively you had the always suave and professional host who leaned forward with her right lower arm resting across the counter. Her other hand held the lollipop stick that hung out her mouth. Patiently listening to my teacher who obviously did most of the talking (nothing new there).

"So there I was, just making a small detour to restock on some rice noodles, then suddenly they barge in while I'm just sitting about in the bar. Demanding I service them or something like that. I was like "ara ara what do you think you are saying to a lady" where they laughed!" She said before taking a swig.

The blue haired beauty just nodded faintly with that stern expression having not changed - although I've never seen it change so that was hardly surprising. She took the candy from her mouth while half heartedly pointing it towards the goddess. "Doesn't take a genius to see what happens next."

"Well yea; obviously I erased them from existence for a few seconds to teach those naughty children a lesson about respecting your elders!" Slamming her glass on the table.

That did result in the liquid also flying out however it froze midair then appeared to almost move in reverse until it all ended up back in the glass vessel. Although that was hardly the surprising part. Instead I was more focused on the actual contents of the words than her glass.

She erased someone from existence?

Or rather, she erased several people from existence then returned them?

Surely that was an exaggeration, right?

Inconclusive then.

Fortunately I didn't need to figure out how to approach as the pair noticed I was there (likely as soon as I arrived if I had to guess) as both turned towards me. The True God threw her arms out wide without care about where her drink landed. "The prodigal child has returned from her sabbatical~!"

This resulted in that lizard goddess receiving a powerful side eye from the mature beauty - although that hardly stopped her from doing it.

"You seem to be in a better headspace than when we first met." The blue bombshell said in as calm a tone as humanly possible. Just her speaking made one feel like she had everything in the palm of her hand with the level of power feeling no way inferior to the supposed True God.

Strangely she didn't give off the uncaring perception, like one would imagine when someone is as monotone as her, despite her unchanging expression not helping. One may think it was just my illusion as well as her appeal… But I trusted my instinct.

Or, rather, I had learned to trust my instinct.

I just offered a wry smile while resting a hand on the top of my hat; adjusting it to faintly cover my eye while that gem on my forehead clearly couldn't be seen. Using that to hide my expression as I responded to the two. "Well I just needed to readjust my mindset for the changed variables."

All the host did was nod while rising up to her full height (taller than me and certainly on the tall side yet nowhere near approaching that freak of an assistant). Crossing her arms under her admittedly impressive chest as she looked down on me. Narrowing her eyes as if waiting for me to continue.

"Wowza, that is impressive~! So what are your plans now?" Sadly not everyone is as patient as the blue haired woman as that master of mine loudly exclaimed so that everyone in the bar could know.

All I could do was sigh.

"Well I've finally unlocked a magic job which has, in turn, unlocked a load of new magic-inclusive classes which I can evolve into. Since this is such an important choice I thought-" I wasn't even able to finish my line of logic.

That mature beauty cutting in while pulling the candy from her plump lips with a faint pop; speaking with an eloquent certainty that could make anyone's knees weak. " You thought it would be best to get another opinion on what would be the best match for your plan."

Licking her lips to get rid of any stickiness that candy may have left behind.

"Hoping to cover up for your evident lack of experience with our own vast amounts - knowing we know more than you know that you don't know." Plopping that ball on her outstretched tongue only to drag both back into her mouth. Leaving me only able to blink at that tongue twister.

Answering in the only way I knew how. "Yes." A reaction that got a snicker from that goddess as she promptly began to sip up her suspiciously yellow drink.

She also seemed to notice my thoughts as she pouted at me while looking down at the liquid sloshing about in her glass. Soon returning her gaze as she finally cleared up. "It's just a black spiced rum triple mixed with lime and lemonade."

That did make more sense.

Indeed but it's her fault for being so unpredictable all the time.

"Hm… Well then it would be best if we hear that precious plan from your own lips and then we'll give you our opinions on it as well as your immediate next steps. Of course we don't want anyone else to hear in on your scheme." She spoke slowly while her only visible eye turned to look toward the bar.

There I noticed that there was strangely a butterfly floating around the room only to vanish into one of the many shadowy corners within this place.

Soon the bartender turned that azure eye upon the self proclaimed amphibian goddess who was busy enjoying her alcohol. That goddess initially pretended to not notice the burning gaze on the back of her head - having swivelled her chair around. Fortunately she soon gave out an exaggerated sigh.

Pouting like a child forced to make their bed as they spun on their chair once more; placing their glass on the counter as she met the glare of her fellow woman. Remaining in silence for a moment only to eventually break with a click of her tongue. Nonchalantly clicking her fingers as if calling upon a servant.

Although it wasn't a person who answered.

Instead it was existence.

Existence itself answered her call as the world around us became shrunken to the point where it may as well have not existed. Leaving us three left stood with a beautiful backdrop that showed off all the wonders of the universe. To say I didn't understand what happened was a great understatement.

"There; now that boring yapper can't peek at us!" Crossing her arms under that exaggeratedly enormous chest with an equally exaggerated huff that made it… She truly is the true god.

At the very least her spine has far overcome any limitations of modern material science.

"You may begin." That serious yet tonally stagnant voice echoed throughout the infinite expanse that I found myself within.

Since I did indeed come with the thought of getting their help I decided not to hold back so, compared to before where I shared my past, I decided to share all of my future plans. This of course included showing off my various classes. Each of them has a different reaction.

One raising a brow while giving a bombastic side eye.

The other letting out a cackle.

It shouldn't get hard to guess who was who.

"This is not what I was promised would happen!" An angry voice exploded through the room as a mysterious figure dressed in opulent robes - bestial tattoo's all across exposed muscular arms - slammed his fist into the table in front of him. That resulted in wood splinters erupting in all directions.

Unfortunately the other figure standing in front of him managed to get away uninjured; a barrier made of light quickly formed in front of him to catch the wooden spelks.

He moved his cloaked hood down since there were no worries about being found out; revealing the features of an elf attuned to the light element. Including hair in the colour of gold. "It was your man who clearly let his guard down resulting in a new player being able to take him down so quickly."

That elf clearly unwilling to deal nor accept the blame that the towering man in front of him was levelling toward him. Though it had to be noted that the elf was also quite unique on account of one unusual feature that was difficult to miss. One that went against the regular body type of the nimble elves.

He was pudgy.

Of course such a thing wasn't impossible nor unheard of - every race had unique cookies who fell into a lust for greed or gluttony.

"That may be so but those annoying bastards at A.Eden are going to spread knowledge of my group all across the world if they get the chance!" Growling like a bear which caused the room to tremble. It was obvious that he was powerful just from this small show of force.

Not that the elf seemed to care as he just moved his hands to readjust the cloak that draped over his shoulders so that it was uniform. Letting out a sigh at the other man's incompetence. "Then just don't let them get away with it by taking control away from them; I don't understand what the problem is."

For a moment that powerful brute who seemed ready to snap someone in half… Froze.

Falling back into his seat as he seemed to contemplate for a moment.

"Do you know the monster in charge of that company?" He asked the elf in front of him with a confusing and complex set of emotions visibly present in those eyes of his. His face bore no signs of his countless fights yet seemed as if his cheek was faintly hollowed in as if the bone had been crushed.

It was something the elf didn't take much note of when they first met in this life. However he admitted that he didn't remember such a striking feature last time. "No but I don't think it really matters since they are either a businessman or a scientist who is far behind what is available in my world."

Snorting at the fool.

But his next reply shocked the fat elf.

"She is no mere business woman but a demon so overwhelming that the various churches had no choice but to give up any thoughts of exorcising her. There are fools that don't understand how scary she is yet I refuse to be one of them." Words were so cold it was as if he was possessed by something to say them.

It was a far cry from the fearless man that the elf remembered; however he didn't let that bother him as a lot had changed from what he remembered. Clearing his through to promptly send any fears he had away as well as get attention back on him. "Well then just take out those who gave such ludicrous information."

"Now... That is possible." A sinister smirk formed on his face as he chuckled.
