Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem-Chapter 270.1

Chapter 270.1. Creating A Spring

The garden of my room always has a peaceful, spring-like climate. It’s such a comfortable space that you can lie on the grass and take a nap without a care in the world.

The lush plains and verdant forests spread out around My Room, with quarries for mining and fields for farming set up around its perimeter. A beach lies a little distance away, with the sea extending beyond it.

In front of the perfectly crafted spring in My Room, Mii-chan stood.

Next to her were Grandpa Odin, who pursued knowledge, the enchanting Frigg-oneesan, who polished gemstones, and the timid-looking Freya.

“Well, shall we give it a try?”

“Yes, my lady, you may proceed.”

When Mii-chan turned to Grandpa Odin standing beside her, he looked intrigued with his one eye and nodded in agreement.

“But, doesn’t this look like bath salts?”

“Yes, indeed. I can’t see it as anything else.”

Frigg-oneesan looks at the small square bag in Mii-chan’s hand with a skeptical expression. Freya also seemed to agree with Frigg-oneesan’s statement, wearing a subtle expression.

“Indeed… it does seem like bath salts.”

When I shook the bag, the powder inside rustled. It looked just like the bags of bath salts sold in stores.

“The printed text on the bag also says Hvergelmir’s Essence, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, if there were such an interesting item in the game, I probably wouldn’t have forgotten it.”

Probably, just to be safe. Maybe it existed, after all.

-Hvergelmir’s Essence: Creates Hvergelmir-

As for the usage effect, it seems to be able to create Hvergelmir.

Not that straw doll. Probably something related to the spring world.

“Maybe that straw doll might appear… but come to think of it, I don’t think that straw doll’s name is Hvergelmir.”

“I agree. I tried to investigate it after that, but strangely, I found some information I hadn’t seen before, even though I used the same method of investigation. It’s as if it was hidden from us.”

Grandpa Odin wore an amused expression, and Frigg-oneesan and Freya joined the conversation.

“It must have been hidden from us. Someone is trying to hide it from the young lady and us.”

“Yes, I believe the world is trembling, and the law of this place is beginning to crack. Since they can no longer prevent god intervention, they can no longer hide it.” 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

“That’s right. I investigated it, and there are things called Sacred Trees in various parts of the world. They seem to be common in grain-producing areas. It seems they have a hidden effect that protects against monsters.”

Grandpa Odin explained, stroking his scruffy white beard.

“The reason they were hidden from view was probably due to… that Hvergelmir’s Essence. Let’s try using it.”

“Hmm… understood. In that case, let’s give it a try.”

I opened the seal and sprinkled the essence into the spring. The powder, glistening like gold dust, flowed into the spring with a rustling sound.

A blinding flash of light suddenly burst forth.

“Bright!”

I squinted my eyes slightly and gazed at the intense flash of light.

“Hmm? Is My Room shaking?”

Grandpa Odin looked around and exclaimed sharply. Freya tumbled over, landing on her butt.

“W-whoa!”

The earth shook violently, and the space distorted. The magical energy of My Room swirled around like a whirlwind. It felt like the world was changing, and my skin tingled with anticipation.

“Hehe, it seems like we’ve got an interesting outcome, don’t you think?”

After the intense whirlwind finally subsided, the world stabilized once again.

Frigg-oneesan has a calm expression, folded her arms, and displayed an enchanting smile.

“…That’s right.”

Mii-chan nodded as I observed the scene after the flash had subsided.

The world had changed. It looked like the same world as before, but it was different.

The wind, the air, even the temperature. The gentle sunlight shone down from the sun, and it felt real.

My instinct understood that the fake god realm had transformed into a real one.

-Hvergelmir has been created. This is now your complete god realm.-

“Oh, I’ve got my own god realm now! Yay!”

I cheered with both hands in the air, wearing a radiant smile that bloomed like a flower.

“I can relax here just like at home!”

I touched the ground, somersaulted, and expressed my excitement. Ah, this is what a true god realm feels like.

“So, the previous god realm was fake!”

“That’s right. I may look the same, but the magical energy filling this one is different. It would require considerable power to destroy this god realm now. The original world’s law could no longer reach us here.”

“Don’t worry. Anyone who tries to destroy it will be kicked out!”

I lay down sideways, swinging my legs playfully. Hehe, can I just sleep like this?

“…You don’t intend to search, do you?”

“For whom?”

Grandpa Odin asked with a stern expression, but there was no one here except us. Why ask such strange questions?

“No, now that I’ve confirmed my hypothesis is closer to the truth, I don’t mind. But before that, let me explain the true nature of the Sacred Trees.”

“Yes, please tell us!”

I sat up, adopting a formal kneeling posture to listen to Grandpa Odin’s explanation. It was time for his lecture.

Freya and Frigg-oneesan also sat down similarly, ready to listen to the story.

“The Sacred Trees were probably access keys to the world. They’re terminals that connect to the world’s law. To put it in simpler terms, they were like roots.”

“Roots, huh? Indeed, that straw doll seemed like a gathering of roots. Connecting to the internet and roots, maybe?”

I teased with a dad joke and chuckled, but then I got lightly smacked on the head.
