I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless - Volume 7 - Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Mysterious Ruins

(142) Prologue

Translator: Tseirp

In my personal world, My World .

Inside the log house constructed by Pionia, there was Haru and I .

” … Ma, master … you can put it in a little more . ”

“O, okay but it’s hard to gauge the right amount . ”

“It’s okay … I will accept master’s all … ah, so full …”

“So, sorry . A little bit overflowed … Does it feel bad?”

“It’s a little sticky but it’s something from master so it won’t feel disgusting to me . ”

I was relieved hearing that .

But that was my limit . I’d collapse if I released anymore .

Right at that moment, the log house door opened .

Carol entered .

“Ichino-sama ―”

” … Carol … sorry . ”

I smiled bitterly while looking at Carol as I showed her what I just released .

“It’s oil but three pots is my limit . ”

“It’s okay Ichino-sama, this much is plenty . Unlike cooking oil, not much is needed to maintain fur . ”

“I see … thank you for helping, Haru . I couldn’t get it in the pot properly no matter how I did it when I was doing it alone . ”

I was currently using Oil Create to make oil that can maintain Cat Sith fur .

I used all the Silver Vine that Carol procured for the sake of making Silver Vine Wine to entertain the Cat Siths so this was my apology .

The pots that the Cat Siths prepared was unstable so I had Haru help me support them .

Carol covered the pots with tanned leather and wiped off the oil on the sides with a cloth .

“Well then, I’ll be going with these oil . ”

“Ah, Carol, I can ― ”

I tried standing up but I was unsteady on my feet . I was under the condition of magical power depletion .

“Ichino-sama please rest . Oil Create consumes several times the magical power of Water that creates water after all . ”

“Then, I’ll carry them . ”

“Haru-san’s hands are covered in oil . Moreover, I also wish to be of use to Ichino-sama . ”

Carol smiled widely and left the log house with two pots in her hand .

I was slightly tired so I lied on the bed .

“Then I will go wash my hands . ”

Haru said that and was about to leave the room .

“Ah, please wait …”

I took off my shirt and got topless . Looking at my fairly muscular body compared to when I first came to this world, I once again collapsed and laid face-down .

“Haru … sorry but could you please keep your hands like that and give my body a massage? Something like … an oil massage . ”

Lately there’s been too much going on and I’ve not had time for skinship with Haru . Carol would probably return so we can’t go into the real deal but I wanted to at least touch a bit .

A person of the same sex or different sex would hate it if they were asked to do that but I believed that Haru would definitely want it too .

However,

” … Understood, master . ”

There was a pause in her reply . Haru’s voice basically doesn’t have any intonation and her expression doesn’t change as well .

However, I could tell since I’ve been with Haru for such a long time . That pause was when she kind of hates it .

To prove that, Haru’s tail was not wagging at all .

“Haru, do you hate it?”

“Ah … no, I won’t hate it if it is master’s request . ”

” … I don’t want to do something that Haru hates . I will hate it if I found out that Haru acted for my sake but actually hates to do it . ”

” … Er … I would love to massage master’s body . I can massage master’s back but massaging your stomach would be …” “Stomach … ah, it’s because of that . ”

I finally understood what Haru hated .

“Sorry, I completely forgot about that . To the beastfolk, petting the stomach means submission right?”

” … Yes . ”

“Then, please just massage my back . ”

“Okay . ”

For a moment, Haru smiled … or so I felt . No, she probably smiled . Her tail was happily wagging after all .

“Today my magical power is depleted so I can’t do so but next time I’ll massage you . ”

“Yes, I’ll look forward to it . ”

Nevertheless, the oil I made sure feels great . Initially, like how Haru described it, it felt sticky but as the massage progressed, it became slippery and had a gentle finish .

Oh no, originally when I was still a virgin, I wouldn’t be able to sleep from the nervousness but thanks to the magical power depletion condition, I was attacked by a strong sense of drowsiness .

Then, feeling the sensation of Haru’s fingers, I fell asleep in my arms .

“Onii, Onii, get a hold of yourself . ”

Is this, a dream huh … I could hear Miri’s voice .

When I opened my eyes, I saw Miri with tears flowing from her eyes . However, currently … she was even younger than when I died .

It was a Miri that was about primary school age .

I wonder when exactly was this memory from? Was it even a real memory?

The location seemed like a narrow path between the buildings at the downtown area . Because I could hear the theme song of the electrical shop that we are occasionally in their care, I could roughly guess the location . However, I do not remember entering such a place .

If that’s the case, is this a false memory?

“Onii … Why did you do something so reckless . ”

Reckless?

Hey hey Miri, have you forgotten?

I have always been a person who acts rationally .

There’s no way I would do something reckless .

Haha, that means this is really a dream .

Looking closely, there was blood spread all around me . Unlike the Otherworld that has healing magic, in Japan with this degree of injury, I might not survive depending on the time the ambulance arrives .

” … Onii, didn’t you promise . That Onii would definitely protect Miri . That you would only protect Miri . Then … you can’t die in a place like this . ”

Miri looked down with tears falling .

At that instant, I felt as if ― an enormous darkness swelled up from her back .

Then ―

※※※

I slowly opened my eyes due to the pleasant sensation I was feeling ― and saw an angel .

No, it’s Haru huh . Damn it, I mistook her as an angel because she was too cute .

Wait, I was lying on Haru’s knees .

“Master, good morning . Your hands would become numb if you stayed in that position so I apologize for the arbitrary decision but I moved you to lie on my leg . ”

“U, okay . Thank you for the meal . ”

I sat up … and tilted my head .

I felt like I had some strange dream but ― was I wrong?

“Master, Carol came by just now to inform that Stella-san has some business with you and asked you to come to the royal castle once you woke up . ”

“Stella huh … okay . Let’s go . ”

Well, thinking to myself that forgetting everything about a dream once you wake up, even if it was an interesting dream, happens often, I stood up .

My body had completely recovered from the tiredness . Yup, all thanks to Haru’s knee pillow .

TL: Ooo more back-story . So something happened in the past that possibly made Miri the way she is now .
