—One month later.
I was sprawled on the sofa, casually opening Lumina Shopping like always.
Nothing unusual had happened lately.
Life was peaceful.
(Well… maybe it’s *too* quiet outside.
But quiet is good, right?)
I scrolled through the usual “Daily Goods” category.
Detergent, tissues, instant noodles, cola by the case…
Yep, the usual—
“…Huh?”
The moment I glanced at the top‑right corner—my current L‑points—I froze.
[Current Points: 80,004,250L]
“…What?”
(Eh—wait—
Eighty million!?
That can’t be right!
Yesterday I had like… three thousand? Five thousand?
Why eighty million!?
Did I win a lottery?
Did I win something without knowing!?)
At my feet, Tama let out a soft sound.
“Mrrp.”
“Tama, look!
Eighty million!
Eighty! Million!
And I didn’t even work!”
“Mrrr. (Exactly. You didn’t work.)”
“This is insane…!
I’ve basically won life…!”
Well, I’d already won life, but now I’d double‑won it.
With trembling fingers, I opened the point history.
[Felsen Defense System Improvement: +80,000,000L]
“…Huh?
Felsen?
Defense?
Improvement?
I didn’t do anything.”
I mean, I scribbled on a piece of paper.
That’s it.
Eighty million for that?
The cost‑performance is absurd.
Scrolling further, I found a new category.
[Mental: Mental Strength Up — 20,000,000L]
[Sloth: We Protect Your Laziness — 20,000,000L]
[Magic Refrigerator: Freshness Preserved — 10,000,000L]
[Translation Printer: Translates Everything — 5,000,000L]
“…What the hell!?
These look insanely useful!”
(Mental strength?
Protect my laziness?
That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard…
And a magic fridge? I want that!)
Tama let out a louder sound.
“Mrow!”
“Tama, can I buy these?
I’ve got points to spare!”
“Mrrrp! (Stop it already!!)”
“Alright, first up—‘We Protect Your Laziness.’
The name alone is perfect.”
(With this… my lazy lifestyle will ascend to the next level…
World, keep giving me points…)
Just then, a notification popped up.
[Message from Lumina Shopping]
“Dear Master Zect,
Thank you for your continued use.
Due to the stabilization of the Felsen territory, the world’s ‘load’ has been greatly reduced.
As a result, we have awarded you special points.
Please continue to guide the world… without moving.”
“…‘Guide the world without moving’…
That’s literally me!”
(Wait—my lifestyle is being *recognized* by the world!?
This is amazing!)
Grinning, I stared at the point screen.
(…I don’t really get it, but…
More points is justice.)
“Okay—purchasing ‘Sloth Protection.’”
[Purchase Complete: Sloth]
(The name is too good…
It’s basically made for me.)
Next, I tapped “Mental Strength Up.”
[Purchase Complete: Mental]
Both items grayed out.
“…Nice.
Feels like I completed a set.”
Then I bought the “Translation Printer.”
[Purchase Complete: Translation Printer]
And finally, the “Magic Refrigerator.”
[Purchase Complete: Magic Refrigerator]
The screen flashed—
and a new set of categories appeared.
[Sloth Enhancement]
[Mental Blessings]
[Magic Appliances]
[Barriers & Defense]
“…It increased!?
Why!?”
Scrolling revealed dangerously tempting items.
[Throne of Sloth: Stabilizes Laziness — 50,000,000L]
[Magic Bed: Exquisite Sleep — 60,000,000L]
[Remote Reach: Distance No Longer Matters — 80,000,000L]
“…I don’t even know what these do.
But I want all of them.”
But the top‑right corner now read:
[Current Points: 25,004,250L]
“…Not enough.”
(Eighty million…
And I still don’t have enough…
Okay, yeah, I bought a lot.)
Tama let out a long, exhausted sound.
“Mrrr…”
“…Damn it…
I want the Throne of Sloth…!
I *need* it…!
I want to sit on it and rot in luxury…!”
Then a small note appeared at the bottom.
[*Points will be awarded continuously based on world stability.*]
“…World…
Get more stable…”
(Wait…
If the world stabilizes, I get more points…?)
I slowly closed the screen.
(…If I reform Felsen more…
I’ll get more points, right?)
“…Alright.
Let’s do it.
Felsen Reform.”
Tama yelped.
“MRAO!?”
(No, Tama, you don’t get it…
I just…
I just want the Throne of Sloth…)
