Status Window Chapter 32 : System (2)

*32. System (2)*

"Hmm? Is there something on my face?"

No, no, no! There's nothing on your face, Mom, but you're carrying something totally unnecessary on your back!

What the heck?! Why are trees growing lushly?! Why are animals roaring?! The rainbow and sparkles are too flashy; my eyes hurt!

Geez! Why did God choose this kind of effect?! This isn't the effect I was hoping for!

Disappear, disappear! I don't need such an effect!

Then, the things on Mom's back withered and vanished as if saying, "Excuse me..."

"Phew... that was tough."

"Eh? Was preparing breakfast tough?"

"No, talking about something else here."

"Really? Then, I'll go wake up Father and Leon."

"Okay."

Mom left the kitchen, and I sat in my seat. Then, I immediately opened the System tab of the Window.

"Wait, wait, God~. That effect just now is seriously impossible! A more normal effect is fine!"

Quickly typing in my request, I sent it. I want to hope it changes by next time. No, I'll be troubled if it doesn't change. Super troubled.

Since He responded quickly last time, He'll probably respond quickly this time too. However, I don't understand the meaning behind choosing that effect.

Anyway, make it a proper effect next time~!

"Thank you for the meal!"

"Yes, hope you enjoyed it."

Finished eating breakfast, I cleared the dishes. Finishing the Daily Quest is good, but there's something I'm more curious about than that.

Checking if my request for effects went through. For that, I have to raise someone's favorability. Since I raised Mom's earlier, this time let's raise Dad's favorability.

Dad's favorability is maxed out, but when something happens, a rise comment appears. Maybe it's exceeding the limit value of 100. There's no way to check, but since it rising isn't bad, I don't mind.

"Dad. I'll help a little with work today."

"Really? That helps."

"What should I do?"

"I'd like you to check the count of products in the storefront."

"Got it. I'll get right on it."

Alright, if I finish this work, Dad's favorability should go up too. Let's finish it quickly and check how it looks.

***

"Hmm hmm... Okay, done!"

I finished writing down the stock of products lined up in the storefront on paper. Phew, finishing a job gives a sense of accomplishment.

Holding the paper, I headed to the warehouse where Dad was. In the warehouse, Dad was checking inventory.

"Dad, finished~!"

"Oh, thanks. Let's check it."

Calling out, I handed over the paper. Dad checked the paper and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, looks like you wrote it properly. Thanks for helping with the work, Rio."

Saying that and laughing, he patted my head. At that time, piron, the window opened with a notification sound. *[Haruto Grande: Favorability +1]*

And behind Dad's back, glittering lights burst and small flowers danced. Oh, this is an even better effect than I imagined!

Yes, yes, this kind of thing! This is what I wanted! The Window alone wasn't enough, so I wanted this kind of off-screen action!

Yeah, God's pretty good. You can do it if you try.

"Hmm? You look somewhat happy."

"Well, yeah. Something happy happened."

"Is that so? In that case, should I pat your head more?"

"That's fine! See ya!"

"I-is that so..."

Dad slumped his shoulders and froze, while I—. Yeah, completely in a good mood, I left the spot with skipping momentum. I have to report this feeling to God properly!

Opening the System tab of the Window, I tap-tap-typed into the request form below the request box. Writing out the good points of this time smoothly, I pressed the send button.

"Alright! My feelings should be conveyed with this!"

Satisfied, I closed the Window. It was at that moment.

Bam!!!

A window unfolded before my eyes as if bursting open on its own.

*[God: Favorability +3. God: Affection +1]*

"........................Eh?"

My thoughts stopped for a moment.

"No no no no!! You go up tooooo??!!"

Strength left my whole body, and I was shocked enough to feel my soul flip over. What is that system!? Who set that up and when!? I mean, are you the type of God whose favorability goes up!?!?

It was too unexpected; my thoughts couldn't catch up.
