Chapter 163 – Another story 11: Tata and the Goddess of War

— Tata’s POV —

After finishing my daily trainig, I return by myself to the room to think a menu for the meals of today as it’s my turn to cook . Aftera while, Wazu-san enters the room . It seems that he’s looking for someone so I try to call out for him but before I do so, he finds me and comes inside the room .

“Ah, I finally found you . ”
“What is the matter?”
“I have something to ask of you…”

Something to ask me? I tilt my head while wondering what could it be . Does he want to confirm the menu for today?

“… Is just… I have a favour to ask…”
“What is it?”

A favour? Does he want to request that I don’t include something in the menu that he doesn’t like? I don’t think so becuase, no matter what we cook, Wazu-san eats it happily while saign ‘Delicious!’… appart from Haosui and Kagane’s avant-garde cooking that is .

“You can say no if you are against it but, I need everyone’s measurements to make your personal equipment easy to…”
“Please take my measurements as you like . ”

Before he could even finish I bow showing my consent .

“You’re to quick to decide! Or rather, why do I have to take them myself? You can just tell me .
“I don’t know my own measurements, so please take them as you see fit, Wazu-san . ”

I actually do know them . I mean, in order to always look beautiful in front of Wazu-san, we consult each other about our bodies every night . Especially in the weight department .

“… Then, how about you measure yourself and then tell me…?”
“That’s no good . I think is most important for you as the manufacturer to confirm the shape it should have . ”
“Even if you say that… haa… I understand, I’ll take the measurements . ”
“I’m in your care!!”

Fufu… I’m glad I held back on the food yesterday…

Wazu-san is taking my measurements . Equipment made personally by Wazu-san, huh… I’m looking foward to it .
Ah, seeing him with such a serious face… I feel like teasing him a little .

“Wazu-san… should I undress now?”
“… I don’t know how undressing would help . ”
“Aren’t my clothes getting in the way of taking my measurements accurately?”
“Nope, they aren’t so you can keep them on . ”
“Is that so? Then, can I ask another thing?”
“What is it?”
“What do you think of my breasts?”

“… Do I need answer?”
“Please do . ”
“… I think they are extremely wonderful . ”


“Thank you very much . ”

Fufu… extremely wonderful is that… of course, my breasts are one of the things I take the most pride in .

Afterwards I got Wazu-san to completely take my measurements . It was an extremely wonderful time… whoo…

Some days later I recieved my personal equipment . I was sure to train with everyone but, I still don’t feel to well while fighting . If I were to be honest, I’m scared . I don’t feel to bad if the opponent is a monster but, were it to be a person trying to kill me, I don’t know if I would be able to stand it .

I look once more at the equipment Wazu-san gave me . The main weapon is a splendid staff made of metal with incrustations of jewels and a big magic stone on the tip . According to Wazu-san, it greatly enhances my magical barrier because it was made with God Magic . He also told me that he made it that way because he kept in mind that I’m not good with fighting so it would be better if I had a stronger defence . Apparently it packs quite the striking force because it was made with Orichalcum but I wonder if I’ll be able to use it correctly . He also gave me a shield of about half my height . Of course it was also made from Orichalcum, yet I wonder if is because I have been traingin a lot because I’m not having any trouble moving with it . But due to it being to big, it will be kept in Meru’s magical storage and when I need it I can materialize it with my magic if will it to, or so it seems . And finally, my guard will not be an armour but some robust robes so that I can move around freely . They were black as my previous one and it seems that they were actually sewed over some other clothes that Wazu-san found in the treasure vault with string made from Ragnil-sama’s scales . I happily embrace the equipment that Wazu-san made just for me .

Although it was Sarona’s turn to prepare the food today, she said that there was a new power that she wanted to try out so I hurriedly exchanged places with her . In the kitchen I’m looking at the ingredientes before me while thinking of a menu for today when all of the sudden, I glance upon my new kitchen knife . Wazu-san made it for me from the leftover materials but it has a sharpness equal to a holy sword so I can easily cut any ingredient without a problem . So useful .
I was in the middle of pealing the skin of an ingredient with my knife and at the same time brewing soup while thinking of the rest of the menu, when a person entered the kitchen . That person was a woman with crimson hair and sharp eyes and looks yet she was a beatuiful woman that looked as if she had come out from a picture . It’s my first time seeing her .

“Oh! A delicious smell is coming from here . ”
“Who might you be?”
“Ah! I should introduce myself first . Glad to meet you, I’m the Goddess of War . ”
“… Ha-haa…”

Eh? Let’s see… I seem to remember that name from between the Goddesses that gave their blessings to Wazu-sama…

“Yeah! You are right, I am that Goddess of War!!”

And after saying that, she lets out her godly aura to prove herself . Immediately after I felt that aura, I try to kneel down but Lady Goddess of War stops me .

“It’s okay, it’s okay! I don’t like that kind of formal stuff . ”

She stops me with a bright smile . Her appearance is far from what Wazu-san described the Goddesses to be . How to say it, she gives the vibe of a really kind Goddess .

“You have stopped cooking, is that okay?”
“Ah!!”

From the words of Lady Goddess of War, I remembered that I was in the middle of cooking . I check the condition of the soup… whoo… it’s still okay .

“You don’t have to mind me, please continue cooking . ”

Should I really not mind her? While thinking that, Lady Goddess of War tels me “It’s really okay” so I bow to her and resume cooking .

Lady Goddess of War is fixedly staring my work and it’s kind of unsettling but, I continue cooking as I’m used to . And at that time Lady Goddess of War calls out to me while looking at my hands .

“In the end, fighting is the same as cooking . ”
“Eh?”
“You are afraid of fighting, right?”
“… Yes . ”

How was I seen through? Is is because she is a Goddess?

“Cooking is also scary at the begining, is it not? Like when you held a knife for the first time . ”
“… that is right . The first time I put a knife into some ingredients, I was afraid of cutting a finger . ”
“But it’s not scary anymore, right?”
“Not anymore . ”
“Fighting is the same . Right now you might be worried that if you suddenly use your power carelessly on someone, you might hurt that person . But, like that knife, if you get used to use it, you’ll get your desired results . ”
“… Can it really go like that?”
“Don’t worry! If the Goddess that rules over war says so, then it will be okay . ”

Lady Goddess of War hits her chest . I unconsciously let out a smile thanks to her words and actions .

“… Thank you very much . ”

It seems that I can muster a little more self confidence .

“The rest is about how confident the person is but that varies from person to person . In the end everyone’s reason to fight also varies from person to person… But if what I said can relieve a little of your fears, then I’m happy . ”
“I will do my best . ”
“This is my present for you . ”

Lady Goddess of War puts her hand towards me and suddenly I can feel that something warm pours into me .

“I just gave you my divine protection . Keep working hard . ”
“Yes . You gave me advise and even your divine protection, I’m really grateful . ”

I bow to Lady Goddess of War and she gives me a briliant smile and then leaves the kitchen .

I feel like I can be more confident in fighting now . I’ll be more proactive in my daily training from now on… I wonder if I should ask one of the girls to spar with me…
