Chapter Summaries

Dr. Einstein from the Previous Era discussed armed dolls with Yae and reflected on their potential and her mission from Goddess Griseo. She recognized that the dolls were being made for Little Griseo’s paintings, which could create sentient beings to serve as NPCs.

• Dr. Einstein reflected on Little Griseo’s ability to create paintings with spiritual awareness and use them as NPCs wherever needed.

• Raven recognized Contribution Points as more reliable than ordinary money and decided that mission work suited her desire to save.

Miss Raven learned that the Goddess Church used faith levels to determine access to missions and other conveniences. She began considering the difficult promotion tasks as a way to earn more Contribution Points and eventually wish for a lasting home.

• Miss Raven resolved to keep working toward earning enough Contribution Points to wish for a safe island and peaceful home.
