As A Management Consultant, I Decided To Make A Business Plan With The Goddess In Another World – V1c5

Volume 1 – Chapter 5

In terms of time, it would be just a few seconds.

The dusty, slightly musty smell made Seitaro open his eyes with trepidation.

The light was already gone. Or rather, it was too dim.

(…… ?)

The floors and walls are stone.

There was no fluorescent light, the only light was from what looked like a candle hanging on the wall, unreliably illuminating the surroundings.

“Welcome to my world.”

Seitaro turned around in surprise at the sound of a voice coming from nearby. Maia, still holding his hand, was standing there with a curious look on her face.

“This is my temple. From your point of view, this is ‘another world.”

“What are you talking about?”

He looked around, still confused.

The area is about the size of a school gymnasium. There is an area with a raised floor just like a stage, and Seitaro and Maia are standing there.

The floor and walls are made of piled up stone blocks.

The walls and ceiling are fitted with metal objects that look like candelabras, and they emit a pale light that is different from fluorescent lights. The ceiling is quite high, and geometric decorations can be seen.

It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the meeting room of the company he was in a few minutes ago.

(No …… calm down ……)

Let’s close the eyes and take a deep breath.

No, no, no, wait, wait. Wasn’t this some kind of otherworldly joke or something? Wasn’t she just some crazy woman who claimed to be a goddess? Isn’t she really just a video streamer or something, and isn’t this some kind of trick?

Fearfully, he open his eyes once more.

……The place has an atmosphere that is not modern Japan by any stretch of the imagination.

For real. ……

“It’s normal if you’re suprised… to see the power of the goddess, the cre ator of the world.”

Maia giggles with a somewhat proud look on her face.

Realizing that he had left Maia holding his hand, Seitaro hurriedly pulled his hand away.

(Calm down …… and sort out the situation first ……)

After shaking his head lightly, Seitaro looked around slowly once more.

First of all, he was sure that …… this was not the inside of his own company.

Of course, a room like this doesn’t exist in that business building, and it’s not even possible in terms of size.

Then where is it? How I came here?

All I remember is that I was surrounded by light and closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I was here.

(I was …… unconscious during that time, or something?)

Carrying an unconscious adult male out of a company building so that no one can find him, and then taking the trouble to make him stand unconscious after carrying him out – it’s so unrealistic that it’s still better to think of it as an instant transfer.

(I don’t see any reason or motive to deceive me. It is most reasonable to think that I was brought to “another world” in an instant.)

Seitaro laughed to himself, “That’s a very silly conclusion”.

Then he looked around again.

The decorations on the pillars and ceiling are quite detailed and elaborate. It has a solemnity that is truly worthy of being called a “temple”.

The rectangular hall has a large double-opening door.

On the stage-like back wall is a goddess with a halo behind her.

(Goddess──)

He looked to the side and saw Maia looking at me smiling.

Maia, the goddess. She looks just like the figure depicted.

(Seriously, …… is she a real goddess? ……)

That conclusion makes the most sense.

Or rather, there is no inconvenience for him in thinking so. Whether Maia is a goddess or this is another world, he knows what he has to do.

“One thing I would like to confirm.”

After clearing his throat deliberately, Seitaro turned to Maia.

“So it’s true that I can always return to my original world ……?”

Yes, of course! From this temple to your world in an instant by using the power of the goddess.”

Maia says confidently, puffing out her chest.

I’m not sure of the principle, but I wonder if …… this is what the power of the goddess is all about. Anyway, I guess I can trust that I can return anytime.

(Then …… there is very little risk for me.)

I don’t know how much power and wealth the goddess who created the world has in this world. She is the lowest ranking goddess, so she may be small compared to other goddesses.

(Still, there is a temple of such a large scale…)

Just a quick look around the temple, it is large enough to accommodate more than 100 people. It is quite elaborate in terms of decoration and construction. The property value must be quite high.

Besides, the goddess.

It is not a company. It is safe to assume that there is no danger of bankruptcy.

(This could be an easier job than …… thought!)

Save the Goddess and rebuild management in a different world.

What kind of consulting project is this, Seitaro thought to himself, but he was thrilled.

He would never be able to find a job like this in his own world.

(I’ll start by gathering information…)

Confirmation of the business condition of this goddess. Assets on hand. It would be better if cash flow could be verified.

And, the past activities. It would be good to have customer information. And information on other competing goddesses.

(That’s good, that’s good, that’s getting interesting.)

Free to do as you wish.

I will fulfill this goddess’ wish to the best of my ability. I will prove my abilities.

Relying only on my wisdom and resourcefulness, I will be calm and ruthless at times. And thoroughly rational and efficient.

(This is the kind of work I’ve always wanted to do!)

At that moment, Seitaro noticed footsteps approaching from behind.

“Maia-sama? Are you returning?”
