LIGHTNOVELWORLD 006 - Buying Real-World Items Through Online Shopping
A wounded Fenrir came to the log house where I live.
The area around the log house is known as a Dragon Vein site, which emits a special sacred magical power.
Thanks to that power, Fenrir’s injuries were healed.
“I can’t believe it… Fenrir was pregnant…”
In the garden of the log house, the mother Fenrir was curled up and sitting.
And then…
“Mew…” “Mew…” “…”
“She gave birth to three puppies… Are these baby Fenrirs?”
They’re so cute… The baby Fenrirs were lying on the ground.
Their eyes weren’t open yet, and their fur was still wet. They were making tiny mewling sounds, and… they were really, really cute.
The mother Fenrir was doing her best, licking the fur of her babies.
The mother was so large that, by comparison, the baby Fenrirs looked incredibly tiny…
“Well, in any case, I’m glad she was able to give birth safely.”
The mother Fenrir looked at me and bowed her head slightly.
She understands my words.
**[Fenrir is a divine beast, a creature of great intelligence, after all.]**
A notification from the so-called useless goddess popped up on my smartphone.
What about her work?
**[I’m totally free right now★]**
Of course…
**[The mother Fenrir says, ‘Thank you very much, dear saint.’]**
It seems the useless goddess can understand the language of monsters.
Wait… “Saint?”
“How does she know I’m a saint?”
**[‘Only those who are chosen and holy can enter this sacred place,’ she said.]**
Is that so…
**[Mika, you’re so clueless about this world★ Haven’t you been here for three years?]**
This useless goddess is really getting on my nerves.
And “Mika”? She’s being way too familiar.
“I never really fought any monsters, and thanks to the exhausting black-ops work in the palace, I didn’t get to enjoy my time in this world at all. You know, *thanks* to someone…”
I said, dripping with sarcasm.
After all, it was because of this goddess’s mistake that I got transferred to that awful era with the rotten crown prince and his crowd.
**[‘Dear saint, I have a favor to ask,’ she says. I wonder what it could be!]**
She’s definitely ignoring the uncomfortable stuff. Whatever, it’s all in the past now.
“What’s the favor?”
**[‘Could you allow us to stay in this sacred place until my children grow up?’ she says.]**
The baby Fenrirs were still just newborns. And the mother was still recovering from childbirth.
Outside of this Dragon Vein area, it’s a freezing, snowstorm-filled wasteland.
I can’t just send a weakened mother and her babies out into that harsh environment.
That would be too cruel.
“Sure, that’s fine.”
**[‘Thank you so much, dear saint! Really… thank you…’]**
Tears were streaming down the mother Fenrir’s face.
It seems she wasn’t a bad creature after all.
“You’re welcome… Ah, ah-choo!”
I couldn’t help but sneeze.
Even though the snowstorm doesn’t enter here, it’s still pretty cold.
Both the mother Fenrir and her puppies were shivering a little, too.
“I’ll go see if I can find some blankets. Just wait a minute.”
**[There aren’t any.]**
No blankets… seriously?
“This log house doesn’t have enough basic daily necessities.”
**[Sorry, sorry! I figured you could just buy what you needed as you go.]**
“Buy? What do you mean?”
**[This is where Mika’s cheat skill, *Internet*, comes into play! Ta-da!]**
My Internet skill…?
“My skill, *Internet*, just lets me browse the web in this other world, right?”
**[But now, thanks to divine power, your skill has evolved into something much more! Didn’t I tell you that before?]**
No, you definitely didn’t…
“By ‘evolved’… do you mean my skill has been upgraded?”
**[Exactly! Go ahead and check your phone!]**
I did as the goddess suggested and opened my smartphone.
It was the same old phone, with the same apps I used to have in the real world… except—
“Huh? There’s an unfamiliar app installed…”
**[I installed a new app for you!]**
“You messed with my phone without asking…?”
That’s just too much. A complete invasion of privacy.
**[Don’t sweat the small stuff★ Besides, since I’m synced to your senses, privacy is practically non-existent, right?★]**
…If this useless goddess weren’t actually a deity, I’d be smashing my phone right about now.
**[Anyway, back to the explanation! Up until now, your phone just worked normally in this world. But now, with this divine app… it’s become something that can interact with the events of this world!]**
Interact with the events of this world…?
**[First, tap the app called *KAmizon*.]**
“KAmizon…?”
What’s with this app that sounds suspiciously like a knockoff of Am●zon…?
Oh well, I’ll tap it anyway.
“It just looks like a normal Am●zon product page to me.”
**[No, no, it’s *KAmizon*. Sure, it copied Am●zon’s search and product variety, but… it’s a divine app!]**
So, it’s a complete rip-off…
**[Divine App No. 1: *KAmizon*! You can use points to purchase real-world items through online shopping!]**
“!?? What!? I can actually buy stuff? Does that mean I can order real-world food, clothes, and other things… in this world?!”
**[Exactly!]**
My Internet skill, which I thought was just for browsing, has suddenly become a cheat-level ability…
Well, fine. If I can buy Japanese items through *KAmizon*, that’ll make life here a lot more convenient.
“You mentioned points earlier—what are they?”
**[You need points to use divine apps. For *KAmizon*, you need points to purchase things… think of it like electronic money.]**
So, no real cash. That’s not surprising, though. I don’t even have a wallet, and I’m not sure if my bank account on Earth still works.
I’m just glad it’s not set up to only accept cash.
**[As an apology, I’ve credited you with 50,000 divine points!]**
“Divine points…”
**[There are various ways to earn divine points, but the quickest method is by trading materials from this world.]**
“Materials from this world?”
**[Things like monster fangs or claws.]**
“I see…”
So I’ll need to slay monsters to earn points? Ugh, that sounds like a hassle…
**[There are legendary weapons and armor in the log house, so feel free to use them!]**
“Yeah, yeah…”
For now, I’ll use the 50,000 points I’ve been given to buy what I need.
I used *KAmizon* to purchase a down jacket.
~~~~
– Down Jacket (Divine Edition): 5,000 KP
~~~~
KP must be short for “divine points.” I wonder how much 1 KP is worth in real-world currency… it’s a mystery.
Anyway, I’ll spend 5,000 points to buy it. It’s cold, after all.
The operation is exactly like Am●zon’s.
Honestly, Am●zon should probably sue the gods for this.
“Okay, I bought it. But how does it get delivered?”
*Poof!*
A *KAmizon* box appeared right in front of me. Wow, this is some real fantasy stuff.
I opened the box to find a pure white down jacket inside.
I put it on immediately—it’s freezing here.
“Whoa! It’s so warm! This is really cozy!”
I don’t feel the cold at all anymore!
**[Because it’s a divine edition down jacket! It’s infused with divine power, so it protects you from the cold perfectly.]**
I see, so the items I order come with divine power enhancements.
“Next, I need something for the mother Fenrir and her pups. There’s no building for them… so I’ll buy a tent. A large one. And I’ll need a kerosene heater, too.”
*Poof, poof!* From *KAmizon*, a tent, heater, and fuel were delivered.
Alright, now we should be able to keep warm.
“But, how do I set up a tent…?”
I’ve never been camping before, so I have no idea how to do this…
As I was wondering what to do—
*Poke, poke.*
“Huh? What’s this?”
Someone was poking my cheek. When I looked over my shoulder…
“…”
“A… tomato?!”
There was something sitting on my shoulder, and it looked like a tomato.
To be precise…
Under the tomato, tiny arms, legs, and a torso sprouted.
But these limbs weren’t skin-colored; they were white. It looked like a doll with a tomato for a head.
“W-What is this?!”
“Oh, that’s a familiar.”
“A familiar?!”
“Yes. It’s a servant you created with your divine power.”
Wait, what?! I created this with my divine power?!
