Trash of the Count's Family - TCF Part 2 - Chapter 65

A pop-up window appeared on the screen of the divine mirror as if it was a tablet. It was GoD informing Cale that it would create a chat room to discuss the rewards. Cale smiled and said that GoD was good at his work, and GoD replied thanks. A message popped out, with Xiaolen saying that it was a little busy now, so chatting was hard. Cale asked if he should contaminate the world again.
At that moment, a chat window created by GoD appeared, and Xiaolen reluctantly joined the chat room. Cale said that talking was good, and GoD replied that he was the best in talking. Xiaolen only replied, “…” as the mirror vibrated again.
[GoD: I’m not trembling. For your information, I’m busy because I’m at work, so you two can have a detailed conversation on your own.]
[GoD: Damn Balance! That Balance! Balance is everything!]
[GoD: There must be a retirement age for gods!]
Raon: Human, what’s wrong with him?
Cale: I don’t know.
[GoD: Why doesn’t Lee Soo Hyuk praise me?]
Cale: Aren’t you going to work?
[GoD: Damn Balance! Damn Hope! Damn Justice!]
Cale: You’re noisy.
[GoD: Damn Ca-… No. I’m going to work.]
Raon: Human, it seems that this god is the least dignified of all gods.
[Xiaolen: I agree.]
Cale said that there was some things that Xiaolen asked him to do, from dealing a serious blow to the Black Blood family, purifying the world, and providing an existence similar to the WT. Cale said that he would now tell them what he had done. The divine mirror vibrated, no, it trembled.
Cale: I gladly accepted the invitation. And rather than just dealing a serious blow to the Black Blood family, I knocked them down.
[GoD: Clap, clap, clap!]
Cale: And I got rid of all the monsters that polluted the entire world, destroying them.
[GoD: Clap, clap, clap!]
Cale: …I also purified a considerable area.
[GoD: Clap, clap, clap!]
Cale: …And instead of a World Tree, I planted a new World Tree that is suitable for this world.
[GoD: Clap, clap, clap!]
Raon: Human! I want to smack that God of Death in the back!
[GoD: Uhuhu.]
(T/N: This is like Korean chat speak of someone sobbing, but in a cutesy manner.)
Cale: Ignore him.
Raon: Okay, human!
[GoD: Uhuhu.]
Raon: Human! I want to break the mirror!
Cale sighed at Raon’s words and wondered what was wrong with GoD. He had met GoD once, and recalled that GoD at least had some godly dignity back then. But the GoD in this chat room was acting strange. Cale clicked his tongue, and Raon said that he looked disrespectful. GoD was silent, so Cale asked Xiaolen about the reward.
Cale: What’s the reward? Don’t tell me it’s just a few mines? And from what I’ve learned, most of the mines in this world are now contaminated with dead mana, right?
[Xiaolen: You don’t have to worry about that part.]
Cale: Yes?
[Xiaolen: There are many good mines in unpolluted areas that humans have yet to find.]
Cale: Hoh. How many?
[Xiaolen: …]
[GoD: Oops, a slip of the tongue!]
[Xiaolen: This god…]
[GoD: Heh.]
Cale: By the way, I’ll be leaving this place, so even if I receive a mine, how can I use it?
[Xiaolen: You don’t have to worry about that.]
[Xiaolen: I will move the mine to the Unnamed World you live in, and wherever you want it. This part will be handled by me and the God of Death. You don’t have to worry about the post-processing.]
Cale: …Will you move the mine to Roan?
[Xiaolen: Yes.]
Cale thought that it was good if there was a magic stone mine in the Henituse estate. It would bring numerous benefits to him, the duchy, and even the kingdom. Xiaolen said that it had something to say, and Cale listened to it.
[Xiaolen: As I said before, I’m not a world that gives little.]
[Xiaolen: Cale Henituse. What you did was far greater than my expectations.]
[Xiaolen: So the standard of compensation should be raised. I don’t intend to underestimate what you’ve accomplished unlike that stingy God of Death.]
[GoD: No god is more generous to Cale Henituse than I am!]
[GoD: Wait. There are two more… No, I think there’s more than that…?]
[Xiaolen: I felt that the mines I had previously offered were insufficient as compensation. Even so, I can’t give you a large number of mines.]
[Xiaolen: The living beings in this world also need those mines.]
Cale: I understand that.
[Xiaolen: In addition, you will not be the only one to receive compensation.]
Cale: Pardon?
[Xiaolen: Your companions have done much more than I expected. I must also pay them for the effort and time they put in.]
Cale: I see. Aren’t you a nice world?
[Xiaolen: As I have said, there are few worlds like me.]
[Xiaolen: Anyway, that is why I want to give the mines as the default compensation, and your companions, including you, a reasonable ‘compensation’ for the ‘good job’ you have done.]
[Xiaolen: I want to replace it with treasures I have gained in my life as a world.]
[Xiaolen: Can you give me some time?]
Cale: The treasure must be something that I think is a reasonable compensation.
Divine mirror: *trembles*
[Xiaolen: …Don’t worry.]
Cale: I’m not worried. You should be the worried one.
Divine mirror: *trembles*
Cale: Okay, how many mines are you going to give me?
[Xiaolen: Well… not too much.]
Cale: Then add a few more contaminated magic stone mines.
[Xiaolen: …Why?]
Cale: Hey, are you pretending not to know? I heard that magic stone mines contaminated with dead mana are very good for dead mana users. Isn’t that right?
Cale remembered the world he lived in. The main forces that used dead mana there was Arm and the Roan Kingdom. Roan had received the dark elves, and Mary and Alberu were people who needed dead mana. Arm was now gone, but there was Endable.
It was currently managed by Fredo, but would soon be incorporated into the Roan Kingdom. Cale thought that in his world, there was not that much dead mana. So having a magic stone mine contaminated with dead mana would increase their power.
Cale: Add to the reward one of the largest contaminated magic stone mines.
[Xiaolen: …Okay.]
Divine mirror: *trembles*
[Xiaolen: I will prepare a list of treasures and send it soon.]
Cale: Soon?
[Xiaolen: Within a week. Is that fine?]
Cale: Make it ASAP.
[Xiaolen: …I understand.]
[The world ‘Xiaolen’ has left the chat.]
Cale: When will the Central Plains send an invitation? And I have learned something about the act of dedicating karma.
[GoD: I don’t know about those two things though?]
[The god ‘God of Death’ has left the chat.]
Cale: …
Raon: H-Human! Calm down!
Cale: *stares at the divine mirror piercingly*
Divine mirror: *trembles intensely*
A new message window appeared. It notified Cale that a ‘Return Invitation’ had arrived, which was valid for 3 days. It would allow Cale’s group to return to their original world within the time period. It had a limit of 10 people though. Cale recalled that when they came to this world, there was a limit of 7 people, but now the limit had been increased to 10.
(T/N: Author probably forgot that it should be 10, so the Return Invitation should be 13 now.)
GoD said that it was a bonus he gave, and Cale muttered that he should take the Chief of Staff and Number Seven. But there was one more vacancy, so he wondered if he should take Appe. But Appe seemed like she should remain in this world. Cale silently stared at the divine mirror and remembered the new information he got.
He knew that hunters dedicated their karma to cross worlds, so he first targeted the Black Blood family and the Blood Cult for that method. The trembling Chief of Staff said that she did not know much about that method. She confessed that the Blue Blood family, aka the Blood Cult, had a device that allowed for crossing worlds.
She added that the Black Blood family only helped to implement that method via the blueprint. Cale asked about a blueprint, and she answered that they were given a blueprint of that device. End flashback. Cale thought that 3 days was a little tight in his schedule, and stood up to inform his group about their return date.

The fake WT was giggling and thanking Cale that it now had a world that accepted it. Olivia also thanked him as she stroked the branches of the fake WT. She said that it was like a good friend to her. The fake WT’s branch seized Cale’s hand again, giggling in happiness that Olivia had called it a friend. Cale sighed and tried to remove his hand.
But the fake WT resisted and said that it was a pity that it could not greet the real WT. And then expressed its joy at having its own world again. Cale sighed, thinking that it was noisy. He asked if he should cut the branches, but the fake WT said that Cale would not do that as it knew that Cale was a good person.
Cale frowned, and the fake WT eventually withdrew its branch. It then gently placed its branch on Olivia’s hand. Cale asked Olivia if they (fake WT and Olivia) were friends, and she smiled, replying that she wanted to be closer to the fake WT from now on. There was only Cale, Olivia, and the fake WT here. The fake WT was presently planted at the border of the contaminated and noncontaminated areas.
Olivia thanked Cale, and he replied that it was nothing. She tried to deny that, but someone called out to Cale. It was Bishop Dust. Cale strangely felt uneasy as he saw Dust running with a red aura around him. Dust exclaimed happily that a divine message from the God of the Fire of Purification came down to him and the pope.
He would report the details later, but briefly summarized that the God of the Fire of Purification told him to go with the Purifier. Cale asked him to repeat that again in surprise, and Dust repeated that he would be going with Cale to his original world. Cale recalled the vacancy in the Return Invitation. Dust laughed out loud in joy.
He knew that the church had video storage devices and testimony records about Cale’s achievements. But they felt sorry for their short time with Cale. So Dust was now happy that he would be able to witness the road that the Purifier was walking. Dust added that there was a lot of talk on who should be in charge for the Return Ceremony, but the church told him that they would take care of it since he was going too. 2
Dust laughed again, but Cale stopped him as he had heard something strange. He asked about the Return Ceremony he just heard. Dust clarified that it was actually a farewell party. But it would be a grand one, with people from all over the continent. He ended his words with a jolly laugh, but Cale had turned pale at his words. 1
(T/N: There’s a theory that GoD was the one originally talking to Cale, but because he was busy, CJS took over the chat in the middle. I mean, ‘GoD’ almost cursed Cale too, hahaha) 1
