Chapter 90
[‘The Balance That Judges Souls’ laughs at ‘The Voice That Builds Worlds,’ saying it never expected the reincarnator to be so serious about aura.]
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ yells back, saying it’s noisy.]
[‘Administrator of Creative Economy’ informs you that the divine power reward was sponsored by ‘The Voice That Builds Worlds.’]
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ screams, asking how you could just say that out loud!]
“Gasp.”
So it was sponsored by the god of language?
<What’s wrong, Ailet?>
“The gods prepared a gift for me, and I almost returned it without even opening it.”
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ suffers emotional damage from your cold summary.]
<You shouldn’t talk like that as a believer.>
“Right. I shouldn’t.”
At this point, the choice was already decided.
[<System> Would you like to select ‘Divine Power’? (Yes/No)]
Yes!
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ is overjoyed.]
Bloop!
“Whoa?”
Suddenly, a large gift box appeared in front of me and landed in my arms. It was very heavy.
[<System> You have obtained the ‘Voice Clergy Costume Set.’]
What? A costume set?
I opened the box lid.
“Woooah!”
Inside was a radiant white dress fit for a goddess, a flowing cape embroidered with delicate patterns, and beautiful jeweled accessories glittering brilliantly.
[<Item> ‘Voice Clergy Costume Set’
A luxury costume sponsored by ‘The Voice That Builds Worlds.’ When worn, increases charm, elegance, dignity, and charisma by 200%, making proselytizing much easier.
Note: Wearing only the dress is extremely revealing, so it is strongly recommended to wear the cape as well.]
<Oh my. What is this? It’s so pretty.>
“Yeah. Wow… for a second I thought I was in a romance fantasy novel.”
<What?>
“There’s something like that. Anyway, I love it… Our god really is the best…”
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ looks pleased, watching how much you like the gift and proudly straightens its shoulders.]
[‘The Balance That Judges Souls’ says it also helped choose the dress.]
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ tells it not to steal credit.]
Clap.
After feeling moved for a moment, I closed the box again. I also fixed my silly expression and focused on something important.
“But I can’t really wear it.”
<Right. Who would wear something like that while traveling?>
“It doesn’t even give combat stats. I’ll just store it safely.”
The clergy costume was immediately sent into my satchel inventory.
It didn’t look like I’d be taking it out anytime soon… honestly, maybe never.
[‘The Balance That Judges Souls’ says it was looking forward to you wearing it and is disappointed.]
[‘The Voice That Builds Worlds’ declares that the day you wear it will definitely come.]
Crackle.
At that moment, the campfire went out completely. It was a moonless night, so darkness spread heavily across the surroundings.
I quickly relit the fire.
Whoosh.
It took about five seconds for the light to return.
“…Ailet.”
A low voice called me. I was startled.
Tessilid, who had been sleeping soundly even while I chatted with Agnes, was now looking directly at me with clear eyes.
Strange as it sounded, it felt like he woke up because it was dark.
He usually sleeps with light on.
“You’re awake? Go back to sleep.”
“I’ve rested enough. I’ll take the night watch.”
“Hmm, alright.”
While he wrapped himself in a blanket, Tessilid added more firewood to the flames.
A protagonist who liked bright light.
It suited him well, I thought, and casually spoke.
“Terry.”
“Yeah?”
“Gentlemen aren’t supposed to touch ladies.”
“……”
His character setting was that of a devout, righteous knight.
I waited for his embarrassed reaction as a joke—
“If I touched you… wouldn’t I end up dying by your hand?”
“…Uh, well, yes.”
Now I had nothing to say. I quietly decided to sleep.
✠
Meanwhile, at the same time—
In the “Reincarnator Community Chat,” which Ailet had ignored out of jealousy toward reincarnated harem protagonists since day one, there was some commotion.
At first, it was peaceful:
ChasingExitFromGenre: Looking for fast ways to make 10 billion cash in a modern world.
SuccessfulOtaku: Modern worlds are S-tier, just adapt.
ChasingExitFromGenre: I refuse.
[MonsterChef]: Stop complainingㅠㅠ there are so many fantasy reincarnators crying because they can’t even eat ramenㅠㅠ
HiddenPowerClown: Looking for guide to clearing Trial Tower Floor 103.
[FFFPhysical]: HiddenPowerClown-nim, did you already clear 102?
[SodaPass381]: Here we go again lol
[OriginalNovelManiac7]: If you cleared it, just say so instead of attention-seeking.
HiddenPowerClown: ?? I asked for a guide, why so salty? Jealous?
[FFFPhysical]: Don’t take it personally, HiddenPowerClown-nim.
HiddenPowerClown: I’m S-rank so I don’t care lol
[FFFPhysical]: Wow S-rank!
[DaddyIsBabyFan]: S-rank is cool… I’m F-rank…
ChasingExitFromGenre: Isn’t rank tied to world setting?
[Rank1HunterDaughter]: It’s based on compatibility and body type. World rank = reincarnator rank is the theory.
ChasingExitFromGenre: That’s actually cool, 인정.
[SodaPass381]: Another TMI overload. S-rank ego is insane lol
[OriginalNovelManiac7]: With 1 million reincarnators, S-rank probably isn’t that rare anymore.
[Rank1HunterDaughter]: Really? When I came over, they said S-rank was 1 in 100,000.
PrincessOfTyrant5: I actually saw one. The girl in front of me got S-rank and looked like her world ended, while a corgi wagged its tail in front of her lol
[PreciousBlessing11]: I remember her too!
PrincessOfTyrant5: People said she was from a parenting genre world. Everyone felt bad for her, then found out she bought the full reincarnation insurance package and immediately changed their attitude lol
[FFFPhysical]: Full package??
[Rank1HunterDaughter]: Wonder what she’s doing now.
HiddenPowerClown: If she hasn’t shown up, she’s probably dead. S-rank survival rate is under 10%.
[SodaPass381]: Where are you even getting that number from?
HiddenPowerClown: It’s true. Only 10 S-rank estimates exist and I’m the only active one here.
[FFFPhysical]: So you’re the only surviving S-rank?
[FFFPhysical]: insane… can I add you?
[SodaPass381]: Stop making things up so confidently.
[DaddyIsBabyFan]: Let’s not degrade S-ranks.
The argument ended with HiddenPowerClown’s “victory.”
A social consensus formed quietly: don’t mess with high-ranked individuals.
Then it happened.
[System Notice]: Congratulations! ‘Kilhill’ has achieved the title “First SS-Rank Reincarnator Tutorial Completion”!
The moment Ailet received the tutorial reward, the hidden achievement-ad system of the chat lit up.
[MonsterChef]: What the hell.
[SodaPass381]: What is this.
[FFFPhysical]: No way.
SuccessfulOtaku: The only SS-rank in the 1 million reincarnator era…
[HaremConstructionWorker]: This… deserves respect.
[SodaPass381]: Who is Kilhill??
[SodaPass381]: Kilhill hyung/unnie?? Say something??
[OriginalNovelManiac7]: So silent. Definitely a master.
PrincessOfTyrant5: HiddenPowerClown went quiet lol
[SodaPass381]: Trying to stay silent doesn’t make you cool lol just say something
That day, the reincarnators all waited for “Kilhill” to appear.
But Ailet would not open the chat again for a long time.
