Chapter 44: 44

It took a lot of hard work, really hard work, to explain the situation to the Goddess of Time, but I somehow managed to convince her .

I already threw 90% of the blame for that to Kuro . Well, it’s isn’t really wrong to say that she is at fault, as even Ein-san agreed that it was mostly Kuro’s fault, not to mention the Goddess of Time .

By the way, after Lilia-san gained consciousness, she’s been trembling with a blank look on her face, but I feel like she’s somehow staring at me with grudging eyes . Incidentally, before she was acting like that, she told me “I need to talk to you about something after we return . ” in a voice that seemed to resonate from the pits of hell .

I remembered she once asked me “You’re not hiding any friendship you had with any other outrageous people anymore, right!?” and I replied with “I don’t know any other demon anymore”…… But she’s a God, not a Demon, and I also didn’t know that she is the God of Creation…… If I were to say something like that, would she forgive me? My future looks grim……

[However, receiving the blessing of Shallow Vernal-sama…… Shallow Vernal-sama is the world’s God, and receiving her blessing means that Miyama has received the blessing of the world itself . ]

[I dunno . ]

[……Why is Shallow Vernal-sama tilting her head!?]

As if to confirm the Goddess of Time’s words, Shiro-san tilted her head as if it was natural, and looking at her response, the Goddess of Time held both of her hands on her face .

Somehow, the Goddess of Time resembles Lilia-san…… She’s probably feeling really troubled right now……

[Let’s also prepare some tea cakes . Kaito-san, you like baby castella, right?]

And Shiro-san completely ignored the Goddess of Time who had her hands on her head . The Goddess of Time really looks pitiful there .

Also, please don’t treat it like all people like baby castella . It’s true that baby castellas are the food that I brought into my mouth the most since I came to this world . After all, I’ve been eating it at least one almost every day .

However, it isn’t that I like baby castellas, but it’s because of that little demon girl that invades my room every day, bringing it with her, so I ate them .

And every time I would politely have some, I would find that its flavor changed…… Just yesterday, it was filled with red bean paste . Where does her tremendous obsession with baby castellas come from?

[Apparently, the best thing about them is that they’re easy to eat and they don’t break when you carry them around like cookies . ]

[Is that so . By the way, what food does Shiro-san like?]

[I don’t have any preference . ]

[Fumu fumu, I like sweet stuff like confectioneries, I like apple pies… . . I guess you would rather call them ripple pie in this world . I particularly liked it that I even tried to make it myself…… But I couldn’t make it very well . ]

I can’t really do anything more for the Goddess of Time, so I just put her aside for now and started chatting with Shiro-san .

Shiro-san listened to me with a blank expression on her face and after she looked like she understood something, she waved her finger . Then, a ripple pie, which seems to be freshly baked, appeared on the table .

[Here you go . ]

[Ah, thank you very much…… a freshly made one just appeared out of nowhere, so did it come out from something like a magic box?]

[No, I just made it just now . ]

[……Is that some kind of power that the God of Creation can do?]

[Yes . ]

[I feel like it’s a colossal waste of power though . ]

[That might be so . ]

Once again, I think it’s a problem that I’m talking to the God of Creation so casually, but Shiro-san doesn’t seem to mind it…… Or rather, she looks like she’s having fun as the corners of her mouth are raised up a bit, and as we’re having a conversation about something I can understand, I’m also having fun .

Lilia-san and the others still seemed to be in the middle of a discussion about the summoning magic circle, as once the chaos in their minds began to fade, they resumed their conversation on that subject .

I can’t follow their conversation at all, so Shiro-san will have to talk with me for a while longer .

[I see, so this is what it means to be a capture target . ]

[That’s definitely not the case . ]

Dear Mom, Dad—— Well, there’s been lots of confusion, and it might be rude for me to say this…… I have lots of things to complain about, but I enjoy talking to Shiro-san in a different way than when I’m talking with Kuro, and one way or another—– we’re probably getting along .

Quietly stepping away from Kaito and Shallow Vernal who were chatting with each other, Chronois, Ein, and Lilia looked at each other .

[……Kaito-san is amazing, for him to be that close to the God of Creation…… I feel suffocated just looking at the God of Creation, not to mention having a conversation with her . ]

[No, Lilia . Your reaction to her presence is normal…… Shallow Vernal-sama is clearly different from us, and the magic power she was clad in intimidates everyone around her . Therefore, unless you’re a very strong person, you shouldn’t be able to act as usual in front of Shallow Vernal-sama…… How is it that Miyama is able to have a normal conversation with her?]

Looking at Kaito, who is somehow happily talking with Shallow Vernal, Lilia exclaimed in admiration while Chronois inserted a follow-up .

Just as Chronois said, the magic power of an almost omnipotent being like the God of Creation, Shallow Vernal has exerted a pressure that would inadvertently intimidate everyone, even with just the magic power that’s leaking out of her body .

Even though they’re not as strong as Shallow Vernal, the Supreme God Chronois and the “Duke-Rank high-ranking demon” Ein can still be intimidating before the less powerful Humans . That is also what Kuromueina did when she visited Lilia’s mansion before .

However, just like what Kuromueina was doing in the beginning, both Chronois and Ein would normally try to avoid unnecessarily intimidating the people around them, suppressing the magic power in their bodies, and that’s why Lilia was able to hold conversations with those three people, even though she was still nervous before them .

However, Shallow Vernal has no such thoughts in her mind, as even in normal times, she isn’t particularly suppressing her magic power . Of course, it’s insignificant compared to when she’s releasing her magic power at full force, but even so, the being called God of Creation, Shallow Vernal is beyond standard, as even just the magic power clad in her body…… is powerful enough to rival the magic power that Chronois and Ein emit when they’re ready for battle .

Therefore, for him to exchange words properly without being intimidated by Shallow Vernal should have been impossible to do so without the power of the top class of the world, such as Chronois and Ein .

[……It’s probably a special characteristic of his . It’s only a guess, but Kaito-san’s body…… or rather, his magic power seems to be accepting and adapting to non-hostile magic power at a frightening rate . ]

[I see, speaking of which, he did release his magic power while imbuing his will in it . Magic that influences the mind and emotions must be his forte . And for him to be able to go against the magic power of Shallow Vernal-sama, he must have one heck of a talent . ]

[That’s probably the reason why Kuromu-sama held such a strong interest in Kaito-sama . ]

[……That really might be the case, the more powerful a being is, the more interesting it may be to find someone like Miyama, who hardly has any power, but was able to exchange words with them as an equal . In fact, I also found him interesting when I heard your thoughts just now . ]

Yes, so to speak, Kaito is a very rare and interesting existence for overwhelmingly strong people like Chronois and the others .

Although his existence is so small that it can be said to be vulnerable for these women, he was still someone that will not be intimidated unless they released their magic power filled with hostility .

Recognizing once again the rarity of the existence of beings like Miyama Kaito, after being silent for a bit, Chronoa turns toward Lilia with a serious expression on her face .

[……Lilia . You better be careful from now on . ]

[……Eh?]

[He easily enthralls those who held great power…… which means that there’s a high chance that such beings will hold interest in him . However, even though they may hold interest in him, the question of whether they would like him or not is another matter . ]

[……Y- Yes!]

Listening to Chronois who told her about it with a serious expression on her face, Lilia seems like he had somehow guessed the meaning of those words, as she sit up straight and nodded her head .

Yes, it’s easy for Kaito to attract the attention of strong beings . That is to say, there is a good chance that he will continue to attract the attention of such strong people in the future .

[Be especially careful with the Six Kings . The only one you and that guy have properly spoken to is the Underworld King, right? Don’t think of that thing as the standard for the Six Kings, that thing is quite an oddity even in the Demon Realm . ]

[…………… . . ]

[If you can, stay away from the territories of the War King and the Death King . If their mood is ruined, they will kill you without mercy, even if you’re an otherworlder……]

[ ! ? ]

[Especially “The Death King, Isis Remnant”…… You’ve probably seen her before, right? That thing’s very existence is a “lump of death”…… Take great care not to get involved with her . ]

(T/N: アイシス・レムナント / Aishisu Remunanto)

[……Yes . ]

After taking in the meaning of the words that Chronois’s seriously said, Lilia very nervously nodded her head .

She originally never planned to visit the War King and the Death King’s territory, but after hearing those words just now, she thoroughly etched it on her mind .

Seeing Lilia like that, Chronois slightly smiled .

[Well, if the situation gets too out of hand, you can always give me a shout . I’ll lend you a hand at that time . I’m one of the Supreme Gods, and I don’t think I would arrive too late to take on the Six Kings . ]

[Those words reassure me . ]

While watching Chronois and Lilia exchanging words, Ein was quietly thinking .

[…… (The Death King, Isis…… “The King of the Sorrowful Souls” who rules over a multitude of undead…… However, if he were to meet her, if it’s Kaito-sama……)]

(T/N: “悲しき死霊の王” Not sure if it’s “The King of the Sorrowful Souls” or “The Sorrowful King of Souls”)

Her eyes were looking at Kaito as he exchanged words with the God of Creation, as if she were expecting something .
