Chapter 2455: Requested Item
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Kaori-san was being calmly exposed for having worried about her skin, and though she was sinking into a sea of embarrassment, Olivia-san continued her explanation in an equally calm manner.
[Not only the external factors, but I believe that the things Mizuhara Kaori perceives as the effects of aging, such as matters concerning her internal organs, have also been improved. How does that feel to you?]
[Y- Yes, thats true. Ive been feeling energetic lately, and my physical condition is really good.]
[Fumu These effects were only provisionally granted, but how would you describe your actual experience of them? I intended to ask you eventually, but since we have the opportunity now, let us hear your impressions.]
[Ah, errr lets see. Well, I do feel like something incredible is happening, but h-honestly Im happy that my skin has become younger. I was starting to worry about a lot of things with thirty just around the corner, so if you put aside the embarrassment, Im truly, genuinely grateful.]
Kaori-san was the type who switched gears quickly, so she gathered herself and shared her honest thoughts. She had been bewildered to learn that a Provisional Blessing had been applied to her without her noticing, and having it explained so matter-of-factly was embarrassing, but she was clearly happy that her skin and other aspects had become younger, and she expressed her thanks to Olivia-san.
[If Mizuhara Kaori is satisfied, then this effect should pose no problems.]
[Eh? A- Ahh, so does that mean you might put it on me again? Even if it only lasts for a year, not aging during that time would be nice, and being able to maintain this skin would be wonderful too By the way, if I leave the Friendship City, will the changes revert?]
[Changes that have already occurred will not revert. To use another Blessing as an example, the Provisional Blessing of the God of Life, Life, allows the recipient to rejuvenate to a specific age at the time they receive it, but even after a year passes and the Provisional Blessing expires, the changes do not revert. My Blessing is the same. Moreover, the effects that prevent aging and illness will not disappear even outside the Friendship City.]
[Oh, thats a relief.]
Hearing Olivia-sans words, Kaori-san smiled. Seeing that, Olivia-san nodded once and then smoothly rose to her feet.
[By my name- By the name of Olivia- I hereby proclaim. In this realm that belongs to none and yet to all, the city where the ties of the three realms converge, God, Human, and Demon- there I stand. Names are examined, names are recorded, names are guides, and at the end of that guidance stands thee. As one who belongs neither to Apostle, Divine Servant, nor Disciple- by the name of Olivia, I grant permission for the name of Mizuhara Kaori to be inscribed in conjunction with my name.]
[O- Ohh T- That sounds amazing. Its cool, or rather, is that Godisms baptism?]
Eh? Wasnt that just now a True Blessing? The phrasing was different from that of the Gods, but she said something about Kaori-sans name being inscribed in conjunction with her name Didnt she just casually bestow a True Blessing!?
Kaori-san, who likely didnt even know the wording of a True Blessing to begin with, seemed not to fully understand what had happened and clapped in admiration, but it wasnt my imagination, her body had glowed for an instant just now.
Probably, no, definitely, she performed a True Blessing.
[Um, Kaori-san.]
[Unn?]
[That was probably a True Blessing.]
[Wha!?]
At first, Kaori-san stared blankly, as if she couldnt process my words, but after a moment her expression shifted into something I could only title A Bolt from the Blue.
[T- T- T- True Blessing!? Eh? W- Why? What O- Olivia-sama!?]
[Yes? What is it?]
[Eh, just now did you that is perform a True Blessing?]
[If we apply the terminology of the Gods, then yes, calling it a True Blessing would be accurate. The reason I initially kept it close to a Provisional Blessing was to observe what effects would be appropriate for you, including how they progressed over time. Since Mizuhara Kaori has taken a liking to effects focused on improving aging, there is no longer any need to leave it as a Provisional Blessing.]
[Eh? Ah yes errr thank you very much?]
Though Kaori-san asked in a flustered state, Olivia-san remained calm and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, leaving Kaori-san no choice but to nod along.
Most likely, Olivia-san had intended to perform a True Blessing from the beginning and was merely adjusting its effects Since Kaori-san judged those effects to be acceptable, Olivia-san must have decided there was no need to keep it in a trial phase and upgraded it to a True Blessing. From Olivia-sans perspective, nothing had changed from her original plan.
Of course, I could understand Kaori-sans bewilderment at suddenly receiving a True Blessing out of the blue
[Olivia-san, in the case of the Gods, the effects differ between a Provisional Blessing and a True Blessing, the True Blessing is stronger, right? Does the Blessing you gave Kaori-san also have any differences?]
[The effects I mentioned earlier remain unchanged. However, since my powers relate to the Friendship City, there will be additional effects concerning that. Its a modest change, but while Mizuhara Kaori is within the Friendship City, her abilities and such will receive a boost.]
[A- Ahh, errr so, while Im in the Friendship City, its like I can become stronger?]
When I asked about the difference in effects between a Provisional and True Blessing, Olivia-san explained that there isnt a major change, but while Kaori-san is inside the Friendship City, her abilities receive a buff.
Its probably similar to the Blessings of Sky-san or Gaia-san, where a buff applies only under specific environmental conditions. Compared to the sky or the earth, the Friendship City feels like a smaller range and somehow, the smaller the range, the stronger the effect might feel
[Quantifying strength is difficult, but if we express it in terms of magic power lets see. While within the Friendship City, Mizuhara Kaoris magic power will probably be about 50 times her normal level.]
[Modest!? Thats not modest at all!?]
Hearing Olivia-san say it as if it were a trivial matter, Kaori-san let out a soul-stirring scream.
For Olivia-san, at the level of a Supreme God, a fiftyfold increase in Kaori-sans magic power is probably a minor change but for Kaori-san herself, its an extraordinary transformation.
Serious-senpai : [Every now and then, Olivia gives off that sheltered lady vibe that comes from having so little social interaction]
? ? ? : [Well, from the perspective of Olivia-san, whos at the level of a Supreme God, even if Kaori-sans magic power increases fiftyfold, its really just within the margin of error. Though, this is just an example using magic power There are other things that increase as well, you know.]
Serious-senpai : [Ah]
