Miniature Garden Chemister Chapter 2

Volume 1 — Different World Life, Start
2. God’s Toy

“Erm… Thank you for helping Hana.”

“……Yes!”

I thanked the boy… the god in front of me and bowed deeply.

Then I remembered that I didn’t tell him my name, so I hastily introduced myself, panicking.

“I’m Kusunoki Hinami. 21 years old, university student.”
“Yup, nice to meet you. …Still, I’m amazed that you’re unfazed even in this sudden darkness.”

After I introduced myself, I felt calmer. Seeing me not make a large reaction, the god was surprised in contrast.
From hearing that Hana is safe, all the strength left my body. I’ve confidence that I won’t be surprised by anything now.

“Hana lived, nothing more could surprise me…”

“Ah…… yes.”

I hesitated a little, but I answered clearly.

It’s all quite vague, since there was no specific terms. I wonder what will happen to me. Maybe I’ll be killed, or become a plaything. I thought so, but it’s a god. That chance should be low… I thought for some reason.
I had always thought that gods were just imaginary creations of humans.

“Uwa, aren’t you the very honest girlie?”

The god sat down next to me who was crouching down, matching his eyes to my level.
It felt like I was getting sucked into those blue eyes. For me who had been in the midst of working part-time to help pay for my little sister’s medical expenses, this posture was a little embarrassing, no, very embarrassing and tough.

“Hinami will have to become my toy.”

“Ye. I have to stay here alone all the time. I do work sometimes, but normally I am very free.”
“Yes……”

“What a soulless reply, fufu. Hinami, you will go to a different world than Earth, the world I am supervising.”

A different world?
No, that might be a usual thing for a god. But I have to wonder what merit he has if he sends me to another world. To be honest, I’m without strength or anything, just a simple girl.

“I’ve a lot of free time, so I’m thinking of watching Hinami’s struggles in another world to kill time.”

I wonder if this is what a god is like. I received a response far beyond my expectations.
Possibly having noticed my expression, he kept talking with a grin.

“Also, there’s another objective. I want you to collect points.”
“Points?”

I asked back as I looked at him.

“Yes. The points are structured so that your actions in the other world will add points. By sending me those points, I can gather the points. Of course, I’ll send you things corresponding to those points, alright?”

“Nn—… that’s, a se·cret.”

The god’s lips formed into a crescent. Then his finger approached my mouth and touched my lips. Then, saying, “I’m not telling you,” he smiled mischievously. That moment, my face burst into flames. This kind of thing, it’s the first time…!!

Since I wasn’t sure what the points were I felt a little worried, but if the god’s keeping it a secret, maybe I shouldn’t pry into it. I just have to collect points in return for him helping Hana. There’s no problem once I know that.

“Then, please send me to that world now!”
“Eh?”

Maybe because I was flustered, I stood up with some vigour.
Then I would be heading for the other world. Or so I thought, but when I looked at the god he looked startled… I wonder if I did something wrong.

“Ahaha! You’re cute, Hinami! Transferring to the other world without knowing anything? You’ll die~.”
“Ueh!?”

Come to think of it, I don’t know anything other than the fact that I have to collect points.

I turned my head to avoid the god’s gaze and sat down again. Then, he patted my head. He’s completely treating me like a child……

“Anyway, I’ll explain quickly. The name of the other world is ‘Letisreel’. There are three continents, ‘Sariton’, ‘Mushbarl’ and ‘Agdis’. ‘Sariton’ and ‘Mushbarl’ are continents where there are many humans. ‘Agdis’ is a lush continent where there are a lot of therianthropes and spirits, I suppose. Ah, but, there’s a young, hot-blooded and very warlike emperor ruling over ‘Mushbarl’. You have to be careful when you go there……”
“…Yes.”

I got a little confused from hearing the names of the continents at once. Now if he starts talking about the countries, I’m not confident if I could remember them all. Maybe knowing that, the god advised, “You can remember the names of the countries at your pace after you get there.” How embarrassing……

“Also, the main races are humans, therianthropes and spirits. There are monsters too, so be careful. I won’t need to explain about humans so I’ll explain about the therianthropes and spirits. All beasts that are not monsters are called therianthropes in a general sense. They’re intelligent and their appearances are the same as humans. But, they have ears or tails. Spirits are a little hard to explain… If I liken it to the games in your world, spirits include elves, dragons and fairies. Well, simply said, mysterious beings that are neither humans nor beasts?”
“I-I see… it’s quite different from Earth.”

To remember it all, I desperately repeated it to memorise it. But thinking about it, this feels like the world of of the game Hana likes… I think. I didn’t play a lot because I had to work part-time, but if it’s the world Hana likes I’ll live a full life there.

“Well, simply said, it’s like a world from a game. Also…..”

“Really? Ah, right right. Try saying, ‘Status,’ okay?”
“Eh? Erm, ‘status’!”

The moment I said that, a screen lit up in front of my eyes. Is this a 3D video…? Something like a hologram came into my sight. It was written in Japanese. It seems like something visualising information about me.
