After chatting with Shea-san for a while and completing the purpose of this visit, I thought it was too early to head back immediately. So, I decided to take the opportunity to greet some acquaintances.
I plan to visit Chronois-san and Life-san, and then perhaps spend some time with Fate-san. Well, that’s if everyone is at their temple……
[Ahhh, so that’s why you came by. How diligent of you. But well, you’ve come at a good time, I welcome your visit.]
[Thank you. I’m sorry for suddenly visiting even though you’re working.]
When I first visited Chronois-san’s temple, Chronois-san welcomed me warmly. This is just my impression, but I feel like Chronois-san was the busiest among the Supreme Gods, so I was worried that my sudden visit might be a bother, but it seemed Chronois-san understood my concern and she spoke with a smile.[No, rather, I’ve recently had more free time. There’s also the fact that the Festival of Heroes isn’t held this year, but it’s mostly because God of Fate has started to do their job somewhat regularly. Thanks to Miyama, I don’t have to go through the trouble of finding and capturing or scolding her for escaping. As for God of Life, she’s originally someone who always completed her tasks within the deadline, it was just that you’d often be around while she was resting…… Well, thanks to that, there are no delays in work, and I have quite a bit of leeway. I could really feel how much effort God of Fate is putting in this time.]
[A- Ahaha…… Shea-san also mentioned something like that.]
The impact Fate-san has brought———- or rather, the impact Fate-san working seriously has brought———— well, putting aside seriousness at work or not, the impact it had was evident. Just by working once a month, Chronois-san and Shea-san, who had seemed so overwhelmed by work, are now quite relaxed. This shows how overwhelming it must have been before.
Well, from the moment I first met her, she had been escaping from her duties……
[That said, that doesn’t mean I don’t have any concerns anymore. Recently, Shallow Vernal-sama seemed to have been talking frequently with Otherworld Gods.]
[Eh? Is that so? Not just Eden-san?]
[Yeah, not Earth God. No, of course, I think Shallow Vernal-sama expanding her interactions with Creators of other worlds is wonderful, and if Shallow Vernal-sama approves of their presence, there’s no issue but……]That does seem a bit unusual. Of course, if Shiro-san mentally growing resulted with her increased interactions with Creators of other worlds, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Makina-san also mentioned being acquainted with Gods from various worlds, so fellow World Creators probably have some interactions with each other.
[……I wonder why? Somehow, even though I have no concrete reason for it, I feel like I might be affected by that.]
[……Hold your resolve, Miyama. Also, if possible, if you could keep it from becoming too flashy…… That would really help.]
[I- I’ll do my best.]
Yes, Chronois-san’s concern seems to be about what Shiro-san might gain from interacting with Otherworld Gods.
If the scope of her interactions suddenly expanded from just Makina-san to others, she must have some purpose behind it, and it seems quite likely——— no, very likely———- that it might involve me.
Even though I was feeling somewhat uneasy from that conversation I had with Chronois-san, I took a deep breath and visited Life-san’s temple.
Just like Chronois-san, Life-san welcomed my visit, and we chatted a bit. The main topic was my desire to expand interactions with the Gods, similar to what I had discussed with Shea-san.
[……I see, expanding your interactions is truly wonderful, Miyama-san. For the Gods, being able to interact with Miyama-san, who had received Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessing and is her lover, is indeed an honor.]
[That’s kind of an exaggeration…… Well, I’m not thinking of anything specific. I’d just like to get to know more people if the opportunity arises. Like knowing people I’ve heard about, such as God of Fertility-san from Life-san’s place, so if I get a chance, I’d like to meet her.]
[I see, she does have a relatively approachable personality, so that was indeed a good idea. Please wait a moment.]
[……Eh?]
After saying that, Life-san moved her hand in a circular motion in the air. The space in that part of the air began to distort, and the face of someone I feel like I’d seen before———- God of Fertility-san appeared.
“Haehh? God of Life-sama? Is there something you need?”
[Come to my temple immediately.]
“……Eh? Right now? I- If you could give me a moment……”
[I suppose so. You have your own matters at hand…… Well then, I’ll give you “30 seconds”.]
“Hyiiih!? T- T- Thirty seconds!?”
[……You still got 25 seconds.]
“Abababa……”
After the God of Fertility’s face turned pale and the communication was cut off, she rushed into the temple with a desperate expression just 15 seconds later.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Chronois and Kaito probably never imagined that Shiro wasn’t the one who contacted them, but that they were the ones trying to make contact with Shiro regarding Nebula…… Also, this one newly appearing in the spotlight clearly looks like someone in a pitiful situation……]
