Originally, Takumi didn't care.
After all, the reward Megumin received before when she returned was not very good; it was just a weapon produced in the Konosuba world.
Although it is high level, it is a good weapon.
But for Takumi, who had no shortage of weapons at all, it was completely dispensable.
But out of curiosity, he still took a look.
At this look, Takumi was stunned.
It's still because of how good the rewards are this time, but it's a little weird.
Eris's Pads, Introduction: As the name suggests, it is the secret weapon of a certain goddess who controls luck.
"Emmm..."
I'm afraid this system is becoming more and more unfair, and it actually uses this kind of thing as a reward.
Also.
Is the introduction serious?
You might as well just submit your ID card!
The name of the item has already revealed everything. What's the use of hiding it anymore? Isn't this just hiding one's ears and stealing the bell?
"What's wrong?"
Hephaestus asked suspiciously when she saw Takumi was suddenly in a daze.
"It's okay, just keep talking."
Takumi shook his head, then stopped paying attention to the reward and continued to study with Hephaestus.
What Takumi didn't know was that in the heaven of the Konosuba world, Eris was completely stupid.
Where are my things? Why did they suddenly disappear? Did they fall off? They shouldn't have.
Eris panicked when she discovered that her secret weapon was missing.
The most terrible thing is that a certain senior of hers is right next to her!
Aqua-senpai had originally suspected that she had used a secret weapon. If the other party discovered this, wouldn't it be confirmed on the spot?!
No matter what she is afraid of, the Water Goddess next to her, who is dressed in the color of wisdom, notices something strange about her.
"Eris? What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?"
Aqua came over and waved her hand in front of Eris's eyes.
Before Eris could answer, Aqua showed a surprised expression.
"Huh? Why do you feel like you are a little different from before?"
Then, her vision began to drop.
Eris quickly covered her chest, but it was already too late.
"Ha? Eris, why are you so flat?"
"Hahahaha, let me tell you, you are indeed the one doing it."
Aqua burst into laughter on the spot.
"I asked you to pad it, it's fine now, they're gone, hahahaha!"
Aqua laughed so wildly that she burst into tears. Her stomach ached, and she continued to laugh while covering her stomach with one hand and pointing at Eris with the other.
She even laughed and repeated: "Eris pads her chest, Eris pads her chest!"
"Woo~!"
Eris could not bear the ridicule, her eyes welled up with tears, but she still held back the tears.
She quickly checked and found that the items were not on her body. She looked at the ground again, but still didn't see them.
Seeing Aqua laughing louder and louder, Eris didn't care where the things went, turned around and rushed out of the door, running back to her temple.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Eris running away, Aqua's laughter stopped abruptly.
The Goddess of Water scratched her head in hindsight.
"Damn it, did I go too far just now? Eris won't be angry, right?"
"But no. If she gets angry, who will handle the extra work for me in the future?"
Well, what a certain senior cares about is not the feelings of the juniors at all, but the issue of self-interest.
But soon, she can't care so much anymore, because...
"Wrong! Now that she's gone, don't I have to do all of today's work myself?!"
"Damn! If I had known better, I wouldn't have laughed so hard just now."
Aqua-senpai, who was dressed in wisdom, tasted the consequences of bullying her juniors on the spot.
But there was no way, Aqua had no choice but to go back to work seriously.
At the same time, Eris finally couldn't bear it anymore when she returned home. She cried out loud.
While silently accepting that she was dead inside, she also began to think about why things disappeared.
"How so? Damn it! Someone must have stolen them remotely!"
There's nothing on me or on the ground, so there's only one possibility. The items were taken away by someone else!
Thinking of a thief's stealing skills, Eris feels more and more likely that this is possible.
The only question is, who can steal from a goddess like her?
Could it be the Goddess of Thieves?
"Damn bastard! Don't let me catch you!"
After being mercilessly ridiculed by Aqua, Eris, who usually has a good personality, also became angry and vowed to catch the murderer!
Then, she punched her pillow.
While venting her anger, she was also rehearsing how to teach that nasty murderer a lesson!
Takumi didn't know about the heavenly affairs in the other world.
I didn't even know that the system would be so unreliable this time, and the rewards would all be stolen.
After finishing his day's work, when he returned to the fifth floor of the City Lord's Mansion, he took out the pads and weapons and put them in the warehouse.
Little does he know that this move will make him take the blame for the troubles caused by the system.
Because when he touched the pads, Eris's breath had already passed through them and remained on his hand.
Others may not be able to detect this faint remaining aura, but Eris herself can!
In short, Takumi was sitting at home, and the blame came from the sky, and he couldn't shake it off or wash it off.
If Takumi knew about it, he would definitely not be able to help but yell: System, you are really doing all kinds of bad things!
But Takumi didn't know this. He came to the dining room as usual. Hestia, the others, and Sakura were already waiting for him.
After dinner and playing with Sakura for a while, Takumi went back to the sixth floor to wash up and sleep.
Hestia followed closely behind Hephaestus.
... the next day.
The arrival of two groups of people, one after the other, broke the peace of the Dimensional City.
There was only one person in the first group, Yuuki Asuna.
The other group was the Night Raid led by Najenda.
Takumi was not surprised when Najenda and others arrived.
On the contrary, Takumi is more concerned about the situation on Yuuki Asuna's side.
According to Lijie's description at the checkpoint, Asuna seemed to have been wronged in some way, and she started crying as soon as she came over.
As a result, Najenda and her party, who happened to be following closely behind, couldn't help but look confused.
Not only them, but also Lijie was confused.
After hurriedly coming out to ask questions and provide comfort, Yuuki Asuna could barely calm down her mood.
It turned out that the reason was that she was collecting entertainment resources to exchange for money in the Dimensional City.
The collected items were found by her mother, Kyouko, and placed in front of her for questioning.
Forced to have no choice, Yuuki Asuna had no choice but to tell everything about the Dimensional City.
But she ignored one key factor, that is... who would believe it!
Unlike Nakiri Alice who came home with evidence to explain, it is also not as receptive as the Megumin family.
Yuuki Kyouko didn't believe there would be any Dimensional City at all, and just thought this was Yuuki Asuna's excuse.
Because Asuna Yuuki can't provide any evidence.
There is no evidence, and in a world where science is developed and there are no demons, who would believe such unscientific words.
Even if Yuuki Asuna persists, Yuuki Kyouko will only think that she is deceiving her as a fool.
In addition, she was already angry and did not give Yuuki Asuna a chance to prove herself. She interrupted her explanation on the spot and couldn't help but take action.
If a big fight continues, Yuuki Asuna will be wronged.
Producing evidence on the spot, Yuuki Asuna performed a great transformation into a living person, disappeared in front of the other party, and came to the Dimensional City to escape.
Takumi didn't know what Yuuki Kyouko's reaction was.
Anyway, Yuuki Asuna, who came to the Dimensional City, did not turn around and go back to continue arguing with her mother. Instead, she squatted on the ground with her head buried and cried.
Maybe it was an emotional outburst.
Originally, my parents had always looked after me with indifference. Apart from the grace of raising me, I could no longer feel the bonds of family ties.
Coupled with this slap, she completely despaired of her parents.
That slap may not be very painful, just a light one.
But what is really hurt is the heart.
She obviously told the truth, but she was not trusted. What she got in exchange was distrust, and violence was used against her without even explaining things to her.
This undoubtedly stabbed her heart deeply.
At the same time, it is also a blow to family ties.
It made her feel that her parents had never treated her as a living person with self-awareness.
She is just a puppet in the eyes of her parents who can be manipulated at will.
Didn't you do what you wanted? Then discipline her more severely, even if violence is used, to transform her into what they want!
This is the image of Yuuki Asuna's parents in her eyes now, so how can she not despair.
So she didn't bother to go back and argue anymore.
Want to play a puppet development game? Go to hell! I don't want to accompany you anymore!
Tired, destroy it, love it!
"So, what are you going to do now?"
Takumi met Yuuki Asuna alone in the conference room on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
After listening to her complaining self-report, he sighed and asked.
He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
But he didn't think about it either. Express your opinion.
After all, what happened has happened, and there is no point in talking to Asuna Yuuki anymore.
Physical injuries are difficult to treat, but this wave is a psychological injury, which may not be cured in a lifetime.
Of course, he wanted to cure Yuuki Asuna, but he didn't intend to plead with Yuuki Kyouko.
He also felt that this wave was Yuuki Kyouko's fault.
Whether that kind of harsh education method was right or not is another matter, but it was just her treatment of Asuna. That kind of extreme distrust.
Not even giving a chance to prove, insisting on one's own opinion arbitrarily, and impatiently using violence.
This is very problematic.
Children are young and ignorant, and parents have no choice but to use a little corporal punishment. It's understandable.
But the problem is that Yuuki Asuna is no longer a child.
At her age, her subjective consciousness has begun to mature, which is the most sensitive period for building self-confidence. If she still uses the same old methods to educate her at this time, then something is wrong!
No, Yuuki Asuna is already desperate for Yuuki Kyouko now.
"I don't want to go back to that home. Can you take me in here?"
Yuuki Asuna expressed her intention to run away from home and hoped that Takumi could take her in.
Takumi was not surprised by this.
Escape is the instinct of boys and girls of Asuna's age, because they do not yet have the ability and courage to face conflicts with their families.
At the same time, their parents have been accumulating power for too long. They know that they are weak when facing their parents, and escaping is the instinct of self-protection.
However, they have to stay in the Dimensional City.
"Are you sure? Joining the Dimensional City is for life, and once you arrive, you cannot leave."
Takumi explained the seriousness of this decision to Yuuki Asuna, and then suggested:
"Otherwise, you can be an external resident, and you are also a resident of the Dimensional City, but you don't have the benefits of others, and you rely solely on work to support yourself."
He is mainly afraid that Yuuki Asuna will make a decision because of her current rebellious mentality, and regret it later.
Although the contract can restrict behavior, it cannot restrict psychology.
If Yuuki Asuna regrets it by then, she may not know what problems will arise.
The external residents are actually ordinary residents.
Strictly speaking, these girls in the Dimensional City are actually the official lifelong staff of the Dimensional City.
Although they are also paid, they can usually live freely.
But as long as Takumi gives an order, they must obey the order.
Because they are all bound by Takumi.
As for the outsiders, there is no need to sign a contract, and there is no initial favor, magic, practice method, etc. welfare; there aren't that many discounts and conveniences in life.
You don't have to listen to orders, you have more freedom, but you don't have that much support, and it's much harder.
"..."
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna also hesitated.
She didn't lose her mind. After Takumi explained that there would be no room for withdrawal after joining, she started to think about it seriously.
"If you are still hesitant, just become an ordinary resident of the outside world first. If you want to join later, you are welcome at any time." Seeing her hesitation, Takumi made up his mind for her.
"Well, that's it."
Yuuki Asuna thought for a while. This would at least give her more time to think about it, and she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, come with me to go through the formalities."
Takumi took her to the office on the fourth floor and asked her to fill out a form.
Then after he confirmed it was correct, he stamped it with a big red seal and included it in the file.
In this way, Yuuki Asuna officially became the first ordinary resident in the Dimensional City.
Then, Takumi asked Lijie to take her for resettlement.
Lijie took Yuuki Asuna, first went to the logistics department to pick up a set of daily necessities and two sets of changes of clothes, and then took the person to the cheap housing.
"You choose one. They are all the same. This is a cheap house. It was originally used to house new people."
"The first month here is free of rent and water and electricity bills, and you have to pay rent from the second month. The rent is 300 yuan, and the water and electricity bills are only a dozen yuan at most. The income from any job in the Dimensional City can easily support it."
"This card is yours."
With that said, Lijie handed Yuuki Asuna a special magic card.
"This is the magic card used for consumption payment in the Dimensional City. The currency in the Dimensional City is the number on it."
"Considering that you have no magic power, this card is opened with a password. There is no password yet. Please enter it later when you open it for the first time. It will be automatically recorded then."
"Keep it safe. If you lose it, you won't be able to get your salary."
"Okay."
Yuuki Asuna quickly took it and put it away carefully.
"In addition to these free basic living necessities, there is an initial amount of one hundred yuan in the card, but this is not free. It has to be repaid next month, but there is no interest."
"When the time comes, just go to the office on the fourth floor of the City Lord's Mansion and say something, and someone will do it for you."
"Although this hundred yuan is not enough for you to eat and drink for a month, your salary is now paid daily, so you don't have to worry too much about not having enough money."
"As for work, I'd better go to the fourth floor and ask, because I don't know what kind of work I can arrange for you."
"That's all I have to say. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
As soon as Lijie finished explaining, she quietly waited for Yuuki Asuna to digest the information. It took a while for Yuuki Asuna to finish digesting it, then she shook her head: "I have no problem."
She has been to the Dimensional City, so she still knows a lot of things.
After Lijie made sure that there was no problem, she accompanied Yuuki Asuna to tidy up the room, and then went back to Takumi. Yuuki Asuna was left alone, looking at the simple room with some confusion.
But after the confusion, she took action.
Well, mainly because she was hungry.
When she got home from school, her mother quarreled, and she came to the Dimensional City to have some troubles; so far three hours passed.
Judging from her schedule, it's long past time for dinner.
So she walked out of the room and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.
Coincidentally, as soon as she opened the door, someone happened to pass by.
The girl was stunned and looked her up and down.
"Hm? Unseen face, are you new?"
"Yes, hello, my name is Yuuki Asuna, I have just become a resident of the Dimensional City, please give me your advice in the future."
Suddenly seeing a stranger made Yuuki Asuna a little nervous, but she still said hello politely.
