“Eh? This is such a pain.”
A woman named Francishad the nerve to demand that I listen to her, so I immediately refused.
“I know you, but I don’t like your attitude.”
“Huh?! You’re refusing me now?! Isn’t this the time you should be happily agreeing to talk?!”
“Ehh?”
“L-Look, I’ll make you dinner!”
“I can cook for myself.”
“Umm, umm… Then, I’ll kiss you!”
“You probably stink.”
“W-What?! Stink?!”
I grabbed Francisand sniffed her.
Wow, she reeks of sweat…
“Yeah, you definitely stink.”
“I-I can’t help it! I can’t bathe while traveling!”
Yeah, fair enough.
“But, I take a bath every day.”
Using magic.
“Sniff sniff… You’re right… You smell really nice…”
Francistook a lock of my long hair and sniffed it. Then our eyes met at a close distance.
Her face instantly turned bright red.
“Y-You… You’re quite the handsome man!”
Yeah, I know. I have a good face.
How good? If this were a manga, flowers would bloom in the background.
Honestly, my face alone would put any handsome manga character to shame. I could get away with saying “You’re an interesting woman” and still be forgiven.
I’m well-groomed and have a good face, so women flock to me. With my new clothes, I’m even more of a looker.
To be real, almost all the young women in the village had a crush on me, and I had fans before anyone knew I was a mage.
So, Frances.
She’s cute.
If she gets cleaned up, I might consider it.
I snapped my fingers.
“Kyaa!”
Francisstiffened in shock.
“Huh? Oh, I just cleaned off your dirt since you were so stinky.”
I used deletion magic to remove the grime from her body.
“I-I thought you were going to erase me…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t erase you unless I want to.”
“R-Really…? Wait! So, you can erase people?!”
“Well, if it comes to that, I’ll erase all the witnesses and make it like it never happened…”
“That’s evil!”
Well, what can I say…
“Relax, I’ll erase you from existence instantly without pain!”
“That doesn’t make me feel better!”
“Anyway, just kiss me already.”
“E-Eh, um, okay…”
Blushing, Francisgave me a barely-there kiss.
Aw, how cute.
But I don’t tolerate half-hearted kisses.
“Meow?! Mmm…?!”
I hugged Francistightly and kissed her deeply, sliding my tongue in.
“Wha-Wha…?!”
Ignoring Frances’s flustered state, I started preparing dinner.
Let’s make hamburgers today.
While I was grilling the patties, Francisapproached again.
“Um, um, so, uh?”
“What is it, Fran-chan?”
“F-Fran-chan?! Um, about the first kiss…”
“Huh? Oh, don’t worry about it.”
“That’s my line?!”
“So, what do you want? Here for food?”
“N-No, that’s not it… Ah! It looks delicious!”
The patties were sizzling on the griddle, releasing a rich aroma of meat and spices.
“See, you came for food after all. Well, you’re pretty, so I’ll share.”
“N-No! It’s just, my first kiss!”
“Oh? Are you offering your virginity too?”
“I’m not giving you that!!!”
“How much?”
“It’s not about money?! Listen to me!”
Ugh, what a hassle.
“What is it?”
“Take responsibility for stealing a maiden’s kiss!”
Huh?
What kind of nonsense is that?
“What do you want me to do?”
“If I tell my father that I was taken advantage of by a mere knight’s son, he’ll be furious… So, achieve enough merit to officially get engaged to me!”
“No way, that’s too much trouble.”
“Wha…?!”
“I can live without the country’s or church’s recognition. Worst case, I can go back to my territory.”
“That’s impossible!”
“Why?”
“A rebel against the state would be swiftly exterminated!”
“Exterminated? I’d just do this to them.”
I snapped my fingers.
The vast road stretched endlessly, becoming an empty expanse to the horizon.
If a hundred thousand troops were here, none would stand a chance against me.
“Ugh…”
Francisturned pale and gasped.
“Assassination?”
“I’d do this.”
I snapped my fingers again.
Steel golems appeared and surrounded me.
“W-What about food?”
“Like this.”
I snapped my fingers, creating dough, which I handed to Ada.
Frances, breathing heavily, trembling with fear and excitement.
“A-Are you a god?”
“No. But mastering magic can make a person god-like.”
Though, if true gods exist, even I couldn’t stand against them.
I’ve mastered what humans can imagine, but a god would possess “overwhelming power beyond human imagination.
