ALL NOVEL 009 - Selling Monsters for Big Cash
We enjoyed a delicious barbecue.
The cleanup after breakfast, including washing the dishes, was entirely handled by my familiar Tomatos and the others.
Later, in the yard of the log house:
“Alright, let’s turn the monsters into points right away.”
In front of me lay the corpses of monsters, piled up like a mountain.
“That said, I have no idea how to turn them into points.”
*Ping*
[Heeere I cooome…!!]
A message from the useless goddess came in. It seemed her divine duties were over, and she was bored now.
[Mika-rin, were you eating barbecue? Lucky you! Why didn’t you invite me? We’re supposed to be friends, right?!]
Friends? We’ve only known each other for a few days, and we haven’t even met in person.
It’s a bit much to consider someone a friend when I’ve never seen their face.
[Oh, I see. Got it.]
What’s with the “Got it”?
[So, you want to convert the monsters into KP, right? In that case, just launch the “Divine Marketplace” app!]
“Divine Marketplace…”
I turned on my smartphone and checked the home screen. There it was, an app called Divine Marketplace.
It looked suspiciously similar to a certain online flea market app.
Isn’t there a risk of getting in trouble for this?
[Who would dare to scold a goddess of the highest rank? Hahaha!]
A goddess of the highest rank, huh? She sure doesn’t act like it, but fine.
“I’ve opened the Divine Marketplace app.”
[Now, take a picture of the monster you want to convert into points.]
“Got it. Felmar, could you grab one of the monster corpses and bring it to an open spot?”
Felmar nodded, and we moved away from the log house.
“Is this one alright?”
Felmar had brought a massive tiger—its fur bright red.
Clearly, this wasn’t an ordinary animal. It was a monster.
“Okay, first, let’s take a picture…”
*Snap*
*Shwoom…!*
“Huh?! The tiger’s corpse vanished in an instant!”
In the blink of an eye, the monster was gone, leaving no trace.
[The amount should now be displayed in the app.]
~~~~~~
■ Blood Red Tiger Corpse (Brand New)
– 1,000,000 KP
~~~~~~
“One million KP?!”
I must be seeing things. But no, no matter how many times I look, it’s still one million KP.
The goddess originally gave me 50,000 KP. And now, from just one corpse, I’m getting twenty times that?
[To finalize the deal for 1 million KP, just press the “Trade” button.]
“Uh, okay…”
I hit the trade button.
*Chime*
[Your Divine Points have been updated.]
[50,000 KP → 1,050,000 KP]
“That one corpse was really worth a million KP…”
I looked over at the pile of corpses Felmar had brought back. There weren’t just a couple—there were at least a hundred.
If each one is worth a million…
“That’s… one hundred million KP?!”
Am I suddenly rich or what? And all I did was nothing…
“Is it really okay to earn money this easily?”
[Why not? You helped Fenrir, and now the universe is paying you back in points.]
True enough.
I should just be grateful for this KP windfall.
“Thanks, Felmar. Thanks to you, I’ll be living comfortably.”
‘I’m honored to be of service, holy maiden!’
Felmar wagged his tail excitedly.
“Alright, let’s convert the rest of the monsters into points using Divine Marketplace. But…”
I stared at the massive pile of monster corpses—about a hundred.
“Do I really have to do this one by one… What a hassle.”
Just then—
*Tug tug*
“Hm? Oh, hey, Tomato.”
My familiar, Tomato, had climbed onto my shoulder.
“What’s up?”
“…” *Thumbs up*
“Wait, are you saying… you’ll do the listing for me?”
“…” *Nod nod*
“Thanks! That’s a huge help.”
Honestly, taking photos, listing them, and hitting the trade button over and over is a real pain.
If my familiars handle it, that’ll make things a lot easier.
“Wait, but I only have one phone…”
I guess I could let Tomato use mine, but it feels weird letting someone else handle my phone.
[Why not just buy another one? A phone, I mean.]
“Wait, are phones even for sale here? Like on Ama●on?”
[I don’t know about Ama●on, but KAmizon has everything!]
I opened the app.
~~~~~~
・Otherworld Smartphone
30,000 KP
~~~~~~
It was actually for sale. And it cost 30,000 points—kinda pricey.
But hey, I’ve got a million KP now, so whatever.
“Okay, I’ll buy one.”
*Pop*
A cardboard box appeared in front of me. Felta and Felko, my other familiars, sniffed it curiously.
Nibbling on it, even.
‘Felta, Felko! Don’t bother the holy maiden!’
Felmar scolded them, pulling them away by the scruff of their necks. Meanwhile, Felmi sat quietly by my side.
Unlike the rowdy duo, this one is always calm.
I opened the box. Inside was a brand-new smartphone.
I powered it on, and it worked perfectly. All the divine apps like KAmizon were already pre-installed.
“It already has the apps? How?”
[That’s just how it works.]
Oh, I see. Let’s not overthink it. Fantasy world logic, after all, and goddess shenanigans.
“Alright, Tomato, you can use this phone to list all the monsters Felmar brought back on Divine Marketplace.”
“…” *Salute*
Tomato saluted and got to work, while the other familiars began hauling down the monster corpses from the pile.
Tomato started taking pictures from a high vantage point (when did he move up there?) and listing them.
[Your Divine Points have been updated.]
When I checked my phone, I saw that the points were being added to my balance.
“Isn’t it weird that even though you’re using a different phone to list them, the points are going to my phone?”
[That’s just how it works.]
Ah, I see…
My familiars diligently worked without slacking, steadily listing the monster corpses.

…
My points kept piling up at an incredible speed. Each monster was worth around one million KP.
“Monsters are this valuable?”
[Well, ordinary monsters wouldn’t sell for this much.]
The useless goddess chimed in with an interesting comment.
“What do you mean?”
[The higher the monster’s level, the higher the price.]
“So… all the monsters Felmar brought are high-level?”
[Exactly.]
[Your Divine Points have been updated.]
[Your Divine Points have been updated.]
…
The points were flowin
g in at a ridiculous rate. Why were there so many high-level monsters?
“Useless goddess? Hey, useless goddess?”
She didn’t read my messages. Maybe she was back to work?
Well, I’ll leave the rest to Tomato and buy some necessities on KAmizon.
