C2 Company

On the way to that place, Olivia and I chatted; even though this sword has an evil nature, it's the only one I can talk to.

"Olivia and Zack, it's not like our names match a bit. Could it be that we were meant to be together?"

"Damn, I am a Goddess if I send you to hell."

"As a friend, you are beautiful... to me, you just look like a sword."

"Yuck, if later you fall in love, watch out... I have a curvaceous body, its body-ody, long beautiful hair; every time I walk, it goes up and down well."

If she put it that far, I wouldn't be sure.

Following the cobblestoned streets, I finally arrived at a mansion with rose walls; whether it was a building or a courtyard, all of them were covered with plants.

I hesitantly went inside and found a woman with long black hair in a similarly coloured gothic dress, one hand holding an umbrella while the other holding a flower sprinkler.

Olivia, who was always silent when someone was around, spoke for the first time.

"She's a vampire."

"Can a vampire be this beautiful?"

"You should look in the mirror for yourself, and your face is also beautiful even though you are a man."

"It's your fault; give me my cool face back."

"Look... in this world, there are more women than men; I don't want you to be stuck because of them. Thank me."

"And who do I blame the situation on?"

"It's all the demon lord's fault."

"Is there a demon lord here?"

War may kill many men who joined the war, and I don't want anything to do with the demon lord.

More than that, I need money now.

When I approached, the woman in front of me immediately retreated.

"Why did you back off?"

"Because you're a man, I can tell the gender of a person when I smell it."

Finally, someone knows me without me having to mention it. I feel like crying when she keeps avoiding me.

I took one step forward, and the woman took one step back; when I took one step back, she took one step forward.

"What is this? Your name is Caroline. My name is Zack Draven. I came here to ask for golden caterpillars."

"Just take as much as you want and get out of here," she said it while hiding behind the pillar of the house.

"Why are you here?"

"I fear men; they are beasts that try to take anyone's chastity away."

Olivia burst out laughing.

"You're a unique person, even though you're a vampire. You can kill them if you want."

That's a word that a goddess shouldn't say.

"Do I want to be a vampire?"

"There are vampires who don't want to be vampires, and Zack, isn't that funny?"

I just put on a troubled face.

"Get out of here quickly. Usually, I don't want to give anything to anyone."

After getting enough golden caterpillars, I immediately went to the river with a fishing rod that I made myself.

***

I used the caterpillars I caught as bait until I got the five pufferfish in question, while I used the other fish for lunch.

After making a fire, I started to roast it; after I cooked it, I took it, but when I realised two of them had disappeared, the culprit was sitting next to me.

She looked like an Elf girl with dazzling silver hair, sparkling emerald green eyes, a high nose and thin lips as if stained with blood red.

When she came down, she had white skin, like snow, as if it was transparent and wrapped in a dress of the same colour.

"Olivia."

"What's wrong, Zack? You are mesmerised by me, my waist is slim, and my chest is big. Am I your type? I'm sorry, I'm a Goddess. You won't be able to win my heart."

Yep, unless she's silent, she's a sweet lady.

"Can you get my face back to how it used to be?"

"That's not a problem for me; it's just that you sure don't want to look like that."

"Not at all; I like my old face."

"Since I'm happy, I will grant your request."

I looked back at my reflection in the still water of the river and saw I was just like I used to be, with short black hair covering my ears, black eyes and the same nose and mouth.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"You sure are handsome with that face, so make sure not to try to find a Harem or something."

"I'll cover my face with a mask," I said weakly.

"That's good."

"But on one condition?"

"What's that?"

I sat back down next to Olivia.

"Please tell me who you are. And also why my status is so weak."

"That's because I'm also weak; in the past, my power was sealed in six different places by all the strong people in this world; if you want to be strong, then you have to go to that place and take back my power."

"Me? Wouldn't it be better if it were you?"

"I guess I don't need it anymore. Do you better use it and can you not call me you? Call me Olivia."

I just smiled wryly and continued.

"About the Goddess?"

"I am the evil Goddess previously feared by all beings in this world."

"Huh?"

I was speechless until I couldn't say anything else; a girl as beautiful as this was an evil Goddess.

"I escaped the prison that imprisoned me when I used summoning magic in the meadow, and I chose you to be summoned to this world."

"In other words, am I still alive?"

Olivia nodded in agreement.

"I don't want you to blame me for calling you here. When you fell, you were still alive."

"So that's what happened."

This is going to be tough.

"If someone finds out I am with the evil Goddess, what will happen?"

"Everyone will hunt you; demon lords, high priests, every kingdom and even other races will kill you."

"You seem to have many enemies."

"I'm bad; if you want to leave me, just go there."

Even though Olivia said this and that she was scared if I left her alone, her hands were shaking now.

"Fuck," I took a deep breath and continued.

"It can't be helped; I've decided to continue like this since I'm already here."

"Are you serious? I mean, it's only natural that I summoned you to this world after all."

You idiot, how can I leave a lonely girl like you, especially since I like girls with big breasts and pointy ears?

Can I touch it next time?

As I was filled with strange thoughts, Olivia interrupted, "By the way, I can read people's minds."

"Ugh." I choked until I coughed; I tried hard to beat my chest to swallow the food properly.

"This food is very delicious. If only there were rice, everything would be perfect."

"Don't pretend nothing happened." Olivia was still glaring at me with her cold gaze.

***

After returning to the guild, I received money from the results of completing the quest; with this money, I could rent an inn and change the mask on my face, which was made entirely of leaves.

"Ugh, why are you hiding your face?"

"I think I'll be wearing a mask from now on."

"Your voice is a little deep too."

"It's just how you feel."

I walked away while holding my sword in my hand; before I could get out, one of the adventurers accidentally bumped into me, causing me to fall to the floor.

"Sorry, your body is weak, so I accidentally bumped into you."

"It's okay; next time, be careful." Whiles cleaning my clothes, a fist hit me in the stomach, causing me to crash into the guild wall.

"Sorry, my hands are a little slippery."

"Don't worry; I'm sorry too. Your hand fell off."

A severed hand appeared to lie with blood covering the floor until everyone was silent.

"Ugh...... my hand."
