"Considering this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time."

"Promise not to bother me again, and I'll let you out."

After a while, the uncontrollable sobbing stopped.

"Um..."

After getting the answer he wanted, Akina Sawa opened the system page and found a plugin called "Ikami-onna-wan" on a page that was labeled "plugins/mods".

[Start/Stop]

There's a button with those words written on it.

Shouldn't you click "close"?

Thinking this way, Akina Ze tentatively pressed the button.

The large image of the goddess Ivan immediately dimmed.

With a "piu" sound.

The goddess Wan appeared before Akina Zeya in a stumbled state.

There were still tear stains on her face.

Did I go a little too far?

Upon seeing the tear stains, Akina Ze also felt uneasy.

Just as Akina Sawa also felt a pang of pity...

"Hahaha! Letting me out was the biggest mistake of your life!"

The goddess Wan leaped to her feet, wiped away her tears, and arrogantly declared:

"How dare you treat me like this, you human! Prepare to die!"

【start up】

With a "piu" sound, the goddess Wan disappeared into thin air once again.

"..."

"Waaaaah! Let me out!!!"

Akina Ze chose to ignore such noises and even silently clicked the sound mute button.

The noise disappeared instantly.

"It's really quiet here."

Akina Sawa silently drank the tea in one gulp.

......

Chapter 74 Explained

[When this plugin is equipped, it grants the ability to cause a person to consume a certain amount of wealth.]

What does it mean?

Looking at the words written on the information card, Akina Sawa was also confused.

Consuming property?

How is it consumed?

These few lines of text are really hard to understand.

The text only mentions consumption, but doesn't specify the form or means of consumption.

It can be a high-end scheme, weaving fate and coincidences to squander your wealth through various misfortunes. Or it can be a low-end scheme, letting your wealth simply vanish into thin air.

Ultimately, money is property, houses are property, and human knowledge is also a valuable asset.

What does this "consumed property" refer to?

Narrowly defined? Or broadly defined?

Akina Sawa was also confused.

However, there is one thing he is certain of.

This ability was given to the arrogant woman named Yi Shen Nu Wan.

Although I don't know why she was locked up by herself, as long as the outcome is good, that's fine.

After all, the system itself is a black box, and it is basically impossible for an ordinary person to understand the structure and composition of this black box.

He didn't want to waste his precious brain cells thinking about these things.

Knowing how to use it and what its function is is enough.

But there are some things we can still find out, if Miss Wan is willing to explain...

"You're saying you're not human, but a plague god?"

"Yes, why aren't you releasing me right now?"

The arrogant voice of the goddess Wan echoed in my mind once again.

"Heh," Akina Ze curled his lip in disdain. "Since you are an omnipotent god, why don't you come out yourself?"

The voice in his head disappeared, but Akina Ze didn't intend to give up so easily, continuing in a cold yet mocking tone:

"Or is it simply that it's impossible?"

"Aaaaaah! You bastard! You're so mean!"

As expected, the goddess Wan was furious once again.

Akina Sawa also laughed happily.

--------------

I've had enough laughter, and the accumulated pressure has been released.

It's really great to have tools to relieve stress, whether it's a stress-relieving gadget or something else.

Suppressing his unrestrained expression, Akina Sawa coughed twice, half-covering his mouth, and said:

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Do you want to leave?"

"Do you think I want to stay with a bug like you? Let me go!"

"It seems you still haven't learned how to speak properly, Miss Aster~"

Akina Sawa also reached out and picked up a cup of strong green tea from the table.

I took a deep sniff.

hmm~

The laced green tea had an unbearably bitter taste.

It has a taste that's even more bitter than strong black coffee.

This was unacceptable to the goddess Ivan, who loved sweetened milk.

As a powerful plague goddess, she has never eaten food she didn't like.

And the first time I encountered this flavor was the MAX version.

When the goddess Wan smelled this odor through her shared sense of smell, she felt extremely uncomfortable and even wanted to vomit.

But that's impossible, because she can't control her stomach.

Just like a patient who is completely paralyzed, but can still feel every corner of their body.

Even if someone presses down on the back of the tongue to induce vomiting, and the person feels uncomfortable and wants to vomit, they just can't vomit.

And this is the current state of the goddess Wan.

They are merely passing through the body, yet they have to endure the same harm.

"...Ugh, I'll speak properly, just take the cup away..."

The goddess Wan's voice grew softer, even sounding somewhat weak, but one could sense that it contained a plea for mercy.

"What? This tastes pretty good!"

Akina Sawa shrugged and put the cup back.

"Since you're willing to speak properly, please answer one of my questions first."

“…”

Although the goddess Wan did not speak, Akina Ze took it as a tacit agreement.

So he sat up straight, as if someone were sitting in front of him, and solemnly asked:

Please tell me about your abilities.

"Heh~" Yi Shennv Wan chuckled lightly. "What's the point of questioning someone whose abilities you captured so easily?"

"Anyway, it's pretty weak, isn't it?"

"No, no, no!" Akina Ze immediately shook his finger in denial. "Any ability has its purpose, regardless of strength or weakness; it's just a matter of subjective judgment."

"What makes you think that?" the goddess Wan asked provocatively.

Akina Sawa shook his head, ignoring the provocative tone, and calmly said...

"If a person is dying of thirst, even if you give him the ability to control fire to destroy an entire city, it will be useless. But even if there is only a drop of water, he will be thirsty for knowledge."

"...I see, is that what you were thinking?" Yi Shennu Wan's tone also calmed down.

"Yes"

"Hehe, how should I put it?" Yi Shennv Wan paused, as if organizing her thoughts, before saying with madness, "As expected of humans, so naive and innocent!"

"However, I will tell you, because I have no reason not to."

"Please say"

Akina Ze also twitched his eyebrows slightly.

Something seems off about this guy. Could he have gotten confused?

"I can make someone squander their wealth as if it were their own doing."

"The person who ultimately loses all their possessions will become an empty shell, shrouded in misfortune!"

"I am very arrogant," said the goddess Wan.

"How did you squander it?"

"So, you mean, you can just spend it however you want?"

"How could you have spent it so carelessly?"

"Why are you asking these questions? I'm just going to the market to buy things, otherwise how am I supposed to spend the money!"

The goddess Wan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, feeling like a child being forced to answer childish questions.
