𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟎: 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝
ㅤ
ㅤ
I was summoned to the ice country of Kai・Pagos by divine guidance.
There I met the giant Decker-chan and the mountain dwarf Mr. Gankoji.
ㅤ
“Gankoji! I’m really glad your illness is cured~❤.”
ㅤ
Decker-chan clings to Mr. Gankoji out of sheer happiness.
Originally a giant, but now. . . . . .human? She’s transformed into a human form.
ㅤ
With pink hair and a voluptuous bust.
Even as a woman myself, I can’t help but be captivated by her.
ㅤ
“Hey, you Decker! Don’t cling like that in such an indecent manner!”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji’s face turns bright red.
No wonder, Decker-chan is only wrapped in tattered cloth around her body.
ㅤ
“Eh? Eeeek! I just noticed! How embarrassing!”
ㅤ
Decker-chan’s face turns red, and she squats down.
Mr. Gankoji snorts and turns away, putting his coat around Decker-chan.
ㅤ
“Wear this.”
“Gankoji~❤. . . . . .how nice. . . . . .I love you. . . . . .❤.”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji doesn’t seem like a bad mountain dwarf.
Fufu.
ㅤ
And with a red face, such youthful energy.
Decker-chan puts on Mr. Gankoji’s coat.
ㅤ
. . . . . .But honestly, it was a tight fit.
Plus, her lower body is completely exposed. . . . . .eek.
ㅤ
I pull out a prayer book from my pocket and open a page.
From the item box, I took out a spare dress.
ㅤ
“Decker-chan, wear this, and then put the coat over it. . . . . .”
“What’s this?!”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji comes over and touches my prayer book.
ㅤ
“Eek, wh-what’s going on?”
“Is, is this an item box?! Isn’t this an ultra-rare skill!”
“Is, is it?”
“Yes! Amazing. . . . . .not only the healing arts to cure diseases but also having an item box. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I don’t understand well, but. . . . . .
ㅤ
“This is the power of my friend.”
ㅤ
I explained the prayer book.
With this book, I can reproduce the skills of the monster that became my friend.
ㅤ
Hearing this explanation, Mr. Gankoji is astonished.
ㅤ
“What’s wrong, Gankoji?”
“. . . . . .Decker. It seems you’ve brought along an extraordinary being.”
“Really?”
“Yes. . . . . .A copy skill and complete healing. If you have those two. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji straightens his posture and kneels before me.
ㅤ
“Could you be a Goddess?”
“No.”
ㅤ
I deny it instantly.
Of course! I’m not a Goddess, I’m a woman who serves God.
ㅤ
It’s audacious to claim to be Goddess. . . . . .!
ㅤ
“Haha, no wonder you’re a beautiful woman. Haha, a Goddess~.”
“I told you to stop that. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Then Mr. Gankoji gets serious and makes a request.
ㅤ
“Goddess.”
“It’s Kyrie.”
“Goddess Kyrie, could you please grant my wish?”
ㅤ
A wish. . . . . .?
I wonder what it could be.
ㅤ
I can’t ignore someone in trouble, so let’s hear what he has to say.
ㅤ
“What’s wrong?”
“Well. . . . . .actually, my father was Happosai, a highly skilled craftsman.”
“Happosai. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
I wonder what that is. I think I’ve heard of such a dish in the Far East.
But it’s not a dish; it’s more like a title or a trade name.
ㅤ
“Happosai has been a trade name handed down for generations. Gankoji was a truly incredible craftsman in the mountain dwarf country! That’s how he used to be.”
“Used to be. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Why the past tense?
ㅤ
“Those who become Happosai are said to possess a special ‘Hand.’”
“They call it the 【Gold Hand】.”
ㅤ
Gold Hand. . . . . .
ㅤ
“My father possessed the Gold Hand. As his son, and the next Happosai, it was supposed to manifest in me as well.”
ㅤ
Apparently, this “Gold Hand” refers to a special crafting skill. . . . . .a talent.
ㅤ
“Our family has inherited the trade name Happosai since ancient times. And when the Gold Hand manifested in the right hand, it was time for a generational change.”
“So, you’re not born with the Gold Hand?”
“No. . . . . .I must gain experience as a craftsman; otherwise, this skill won’t manifest.”
ㅤ
People in this world have skills from birth.
But many also acquire them later in life.
ㅤ
“But wait, if you inherited the trade name from your father, that means. . . . . .Mr. Gankoji, the Gold Hand has manifested in you too?”
“No. . . . . .my father died before I could manifest the Gold Hand.”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji rubs the back of his right hand, mumbling in frustration.
“It’s because I’m still inexperienced. . . . . .”
“That’s not true at all! Gankoji is an amazing craftsman!”
ㅤ
Decker-chan strongly denies it.
But his expression does not clear up.
ㅤ
“No, something’s missing. . . . . .that’s why, no matter how much I train, the Gold Hand doesn’t appear in this hand. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I think I’m beginning to see the story.
ㅤ
“Goddess Kyrie, please, will you guide me?”
“So, you want the Gold Hand.”
“Yes. Whatever is necessary, I would appreciate your advice and guidance.”
ㅤ
Though asked for advice. . . . . .
I’m just a messenger of God.
ㅤ
All I can do is pray to God.
Well, I’ll know when I look at his hand.
ㅤ
His hand is covered in calluses.
And even when his health failed, he still held a hammer.
ㅤ
He has worked hard as a craftsman.
God surely sees his efforts.
ㅤ
“May I see your hand?”
“Yes. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I cover his right hand and offer a prayer.
Great God Noir, please, grant this diligent mountain dwarf the power he desires. . . . . .
ㅤ
At the moment I offered my prayer to God,
ㅤ
“! Wings from the back?!”
“Kyrie-chan really is a goddess!”
ㅤ
. . . . . .I feel the light of God in my body.
And when I open my eyes. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Oh, oh, oh! It’s there! The Gold Hand is on my right hand!”
ㅤ
The emblem of the sun was carved on the back of Mr. Gankoji’s right hand.
Slowly, tears welled in his eyes, and he knelt down, bowing deeply.
ㅤ
“Thank you, Goddess Kyrie! You’ve granted my wish!”
“Thank you! Goddess Kyrie!”
ㅤ
I, I’ve already told you~
It wasn’t me who did this~
ㅤ
“I didn’t do anything. So let’s thank God, shall we?”
“”Yes! Thank you, Goddess Kyrie!””
ㅤ
Oh, I’ve told you already. . . . . .
Eventually, God Noir is going to get angry. . . . . .oh no, no, no. . . . . .what to do. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Peeweei! Big Sister Kyrie, misunderstanding, funny!”
ㅤ
That’s what Guu-chan said, laughing uproariously.
