章節 9: Results
"Liora. Should we put something on you? You mustn't catch a cold."
"Thank you for worrying... god."
The young girl, half-naked and battered from the battle, looked up with teary eyes, full of emotion.
Liora possesses regeneration, automatic HP recovery, and the scythe technique [Life-stealing Blade], which allows her to recover from physical damage. Even if pierced by an arrow, she can forcibly pull it out, and as long as the arrowhead isn't left behind, she can heal.
Gruesome.
To ensure the arrowhead isn't left in her body, it's crucial to cut away more flesh. After a few hours of this process, Liora somehow manages to fully recover. However, clothing is not subject to regeneration, leaving Liora half-naked.
The tips of her well-developed chest stood firm, emphasizing the cold. Being a spirit, I cannot feel it, but it seems quite cold for her.
Thank goodness we had a campfire ready.
Liora took clothes from a girl about her age and put them on, then quickly moved to retrieve the baby. The baby was crying heartily. As if unaware of the carnage, the baby reached out and laughed at the approaching Liora with a "kyakya."
Even Liora didn't know what to do in this situation. She quickly averted her gaze. I softly floated into her line of sight.
"What do you intend to do, Liora?"
"I'll protect it for just a week. Then the traveling merchant will come. He's not a bad person!"
"I understand. And you can be casual with me, Liora."
But Liora shook her head vigorously, looking like her head might come off.
"I don't want to speak rudely to god. Sorry!"
"Understood. You can speak however you like."
Liora plans to entrust the baby to the traveling merchant. Raising it herself would be difficult. It might be unfortunate for the baby, but it was necessary for Liora's life. It's hard to throw everything away for an unknown baby.
If we waited another three years, this baby would also be subject to purification. I can vividly imagine Liora being pelted with stones by three-year-olds.
"Let's confirm the battle results for now."
"Yes. God!"
Liora was excited. She seems to like getting stronger. I do too.

Despite the high kill count, the rewards were surprisingly low. Could it be that PK or NPC killing is inefficient for gaining experience?
There are two new elements. One is that Liora's [Dark Magic] reached 20, enabling her to acquire new sub-skills. The next point of interest is the title.
Liora has been given the title [Deadly Sinner]. Let's check its details.
[Deadly Sinner: An act humanity has deemed forbidden. Grants a special attack against beings who walk in the path of righteousness.
Effect: All status is increased by 20% during battle. And only works at people or monsters older than the user.]
Isn't this strong?
Liora looks to be around 10 to 13 years old due to poor nutrition. This means she will have a special attack against most enemies. Well, it won't work on goblins. But if a King or Queen goblin appears, it might become effective.
I'm glad I killed Liora's family. This seems to have been a very rewarding quest. Liora is also happy about the strength of her title. She doesn't seem to care about having killed her parents.
"...If I get stronger, god won't abandon me. I'll become stronger."
"Liora?"
"I'll do my best. Thank you for choosing me, god!"
Liora's character design, shy and all, is simply stunning. Liora is indeed cute. If I posted pictures on social media, they would probably go viral. But that's too much trouble, so I won't.
By the way, live streams of "PHO" are quite popular. The government-distributed goggles for "PHO" can be used to watch videos. Some people are even doing live broadcasts. There was a lot of controversy when the government distributed game consoles. But since they have many uses besides gaming, more people now stay silent about it.
"PHO" is indeed a mysterious game.
"God...are you perhaps going to rest again?"
"Uhm, yes."
Perhaps she sensed that I was about to log out; her voice felt low. Though, it's nice to feel wanted.
"I will be back, okay?"
"Yeah, god. I will be waiting."
Logging out now. Starting this time, I've changed the settings to allow Liora access to the email function. If she speaks while touching my avatar (the black sphere), her messages will be sent to my smartphone. I can also send messages back.
I'll have her call me if something happens. I've also turned on the notification function, so if Liora levels up, I'll be notified.

I enjoy my afternoon tea while browsing the message board on my smartphone. This time, I'm looking up "powerful magic arts obtainable with Dark Magic level 20." It's more efficient than figuring it out myself.
If I did it myself, I'd end up choosing something for its cool factor. Having at least one practical spell would be good. Though [FLASH] and [HP REGEN] are already quite useful.
I open a thread titled, "Tell me the strongest magic spells by attribute."
This tea is delicious, and it pairs perfectly with the biscuit I'm having.
84…Merry-chan: If you're using Dark Magic, focus solely on destructiveness! Don't even think about healing spells! Though it offers those!
85…Rasetsu○: No, get all healing and holy dark spells for your character and get destructive spells for yourself, this way it will be the ace of gameplay!
87…Bokki: Currently, the must-have Light Magic spells are: "Heal," "Party Heal," "High Heal," "Cure." And, in this game, the weird thing is dark magic has healing things it seems to lead special job weird af! Dark spells include "Dispel," "Raise," and "Judgment." "Nullification!"
▽
I see. [Nullification] seems like a good choice. If Liora gets paralyzed and can't move, she'll be doomed. It's practically a must-have. It's decided then.
The message board seems to consider Regen mediocre. Instant healing is more popular. Regen can be wasteful if HP is full and is considered tedious because it takes time. Additionally, HP boosts are unpopular. In a game, it's more exciting to boost attack, agility, or luck for a critical hit chance.
However, I must follow this route to create the lightest tank in a little girl's form. Hehe... Anyway, the plan is set.
[Ding--]
Oh, I just got a notification on my smartphone.
"God"
"God, I want to see you! Please!"
"God. Are you busy?"
"God. I'm lonely."
"God"
"God. Please respond! Please!"
"God"
About a hundred messages like this flood in at once.
I reply to Liora, "I'm eating right now."
"Is it delicious, God?" "God" "I'm happy to talk to you, God." "I want to see you, God."
Hmm, I'd like to reduce these notifications. Liora is cute and I like her, but this might be a bit much. It's a mix of fear and affection. I sip my tea and take a bite of my biscuit.
