Erika gulped and took a bite from the black chocolate.

"UUUUUGHHHHH!!!"

Sweetness raped her brain. It was so sweet that she couldn't sweet even stand sweet and nearly sweet collapsed on the sweet floor because sweet.

"Gah! Ugh! T-too...s-sweet... ack..."

Erika brought up the Dimension Vessel and tossed the cursed item into it.

"Oh, you can't even handle chocolate? Just how much of a trash can one be?"

Minerva smiled gently, as she watched the staggering Erika.

"It's very worrying, that a nobody like you will head into the outside world all alone."

Minerva lowered her head with genuine worry.

"I'm sure you'll die countless times before even reaching the city. Then, you'll respawn in my hall, each and every time. Just the thought of that makes me want to puke."

"Ugh..."

Erika recovered from the sweeeeeeet pain, and eyed Minerva with a silent killing intent. Minerva ignored the hostility and turned toward the window.

"Vivi, come here."

A small creature flew into the hall and approached Minerva.

T-this is...!

The tiny creature was a fair-skinned girl, with glittering wings on her back.

"A fairy!? S-so cute~"

Erika latched onto the fairy and tried to grab her. Alas, the fairy dodged the rape attempts and ascended high into the air, beyond Erika's short reach.

"Pipipipi!"

The tiny girl puffed her cheeks, and fired high-pitched complaints like a machinegun.

"Vivi, give it a break. I already know, this child here is genuine trash."

"Pipipipi piiipiipipi!"

The fairy, Vivi, turned toward Minerva and continued her unrelenting complaints.

"I know, I know. She's a completely lost case, a pitiful good-for-nothing."

Minerva nodded in response with a warm smile. Apparently, Minerva understood Vivi's squeaky language. Erika locked her attention on the fairy, but all she heard was "Pipipipi" or "Piiipipipi".

"Oh, you can't understand what Vivi is saying? I always thought stupidity had a limit, but your case proves otherwise. You're aware that you have a [Communication] rune, right?"

Minerva smiled gently and continued her conversation with Vivi.

【TIP】【You can activate your runes by focusing on the body parts in which they're infused. In your case: the [Communication] rune is infused into your forehead.】

【TIP】【If you have difficulties with activating runes with your mind, then you can manually invoke their effects from the Status screen.】

Erika skimmed the instructions in panic.

"Curses, informing me in such a critical moment...! Say, Mini!"

"I'm not Mini!"

"How exactly do I use runes?! I must understand what this cute, little fairy is saying!"

"Hmm.... ya just kinda focus on it, and POOF it works!"

"Tch, that doesn't help at all!"

Afraid that she missed important NPC dialogue, Erika immediately brought up the status screen. She didn't have the luxury to figure out the vague "rune activation" system.
