Chapter 2 – 15 (part 2)

Meeting by Chance in a Dream

“Let’s start again from the beginning.”

I said, and the God of Creation replied,

“I did create this space after all, so I’m pretty tired.”

He laughed while he spoke at first, but then his face became serious.

“The truth is, Tenma-kun. If things keep on going the same way, the balance between your mind and body will be disrupted, and eventually you will die.”

It was as if he had hit me with a brick.

“Whaaat!? What do you mean by that?”

Now that I was worked up, he spoke as if he was trying to calm me down.

“If you don’t take any steps to counter it, it will mean the end of your story.”

“There’s a way to counter it, then?”

Hearing that I calmed down a bit. He replied,

“Yep! You should use this!”

He took out two bracelet looking things out from his shirt pocket and gave them to me. It felt similar to one of Doraemon’s magical gadgets.Nobita Nobi, a young boy. Doraemon has a four-dimensional pouch in which he stores unexpected gadgets that improve his life.'>1

“What are these?”

“These are bracelets that will have a suppressing effect on Tenma-kun’s power. Despite it being called suppressed, in reality it won’t make your abilities lose their effectiveness. What’s more, it will only activate just before your body would be unable to bear the strain. To give a more concrete example, say you easily beat an ancient class dragon – after that if you persevere, you might even be able to control one.”

He explained it in a way similar as Doraemon would to Nobita.

“If it’s enough to defeat an ancient dragon, then shouldn’t it be overkill for other monsters?”

They were this world’s strongest (except for gods, of course) monsters, so trying to imagine ones that were a little stronger was difficult!

“In truth, when you reincarnated, all the gods from before were shocked…… Tenma-kun’s abilities were predicted to max out well over the strongest seen in human history. The predictions just keep on rising, too.”

He went on to explain that up until now, the strongest have been on average between S to S- rank. The initial prediction for me was S+ at the strongest, but now it’s up to SS.

“For that reason, we made these bracelets. If you wear these while you’re still growing, you’ll barely be within the limits of human strength.”

After the god of creation finished,

“……take this too.”

the god of beasts said, then handed over three collars.

“And these are?”

“………God of Abilities.”

“Ah, right. Tenma, I’ll explain it for him. These were made at his request. The familiar that wears one of these collars can become smaller in size!”

Both the god of abilities and the god of beasts stuck out their chests, as if to say ‘How about that!’

“That seems pretty convenient. How small a size can they shrink to?”

“The size will vary based on the individual. For Shiromaru, he can probably shrink down to 1 ~ 1.5m total body length. However, they will have no effect on either humans or artificial life forms like Tanikaze.”

“……Even when smaller, their strength will not change. Also the amount of food they need will decrease……”

―~――~―――~―――~――~― This chapter was translated by Refulgent for [ FourSlimes . com ―~――~―――~―――~――~―

They were far more convenient than I expected. If their strength doesn’t change then I could bring Shiromaru with me to a dungeon, and more importantly, keep his food costs down.

“Thank you both. I’ll try them as soon as I wake up!”

They seemed pleased to hear that and both nodded.

“Oh I forgot to mention this before, but these bracelets also have a Magic Bag like effect, and can hold quite a lot of things! Once the stuff is stored away you won’t feel their weight anymore too, as if they’re not even there. All you have to do is picture your stuff again and they’ll come right back out, into your arms.”

Said the god of creation. This was an amazing feature he included.

“Is it really okay for me to have something like this?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve sometimes given it to others who have reincarnated, too. Namitarou has them as well.”

After that, we all talked for a little bit. Before I realized it, it seemed like the time to wake up had come.

“Well, see you later Tenma-kun. Expect to see us a little sooner than last time.”

These bracelets appeared to have an effect that made it easier to meet with the gods. They also told me that I would be able to use them to their full extent in just a short time…… If I can use them like that then maybe it would take only 20 ~ 30 years.

I said farewell to the god of creation, god of abilities and god of beasts. The god of war, who had been creepily quiet until now,

“Tenma-chan, I really shouldn’t tell you this but…… a member of your family is still alive.”

―~――~―――~―――~――~― This chapter was translated by Refulgent for [ FourSlimes . com ―~――~―――~―――~――~―

For a moment, I couldn’t process what he had said. I then quickly burst out saying,

“Who! Who is it!? Tell me, god of war, who is it and where are they now!?”

I got closer to him.

“Calm down, Tenma-chan! Unfortunately, I can’t tell you any more details…… Even telling you this much, might bring misfortune on that person……”

The god of war told me that he couldn’t give me a more detailed explanation.

It was something like a curse from the gods, exactly the opposite of their divine blessings. They were unable to support people other than those who had reincarnated. It seemed like a system had been put in place to prevent it.

In the past, one of the gods had supported the reincarnated people far too much, even extending it to others related to them. The end result was that the related people all developed irregularities of the soul, and they all perished from it. It was over 1,000 people. Furthermore, it seems that the god himself also vanished, with his powers turning to nothing.

I didn’t understand it very well but, it seemed to be a necessary defensive instinct the world itself took to prevent the gods from amassing more power than was necessary. Perhaps it was a kind of bug.

“So, I’m really sorry. That’s as much as I can say.”

“No, even that much is enough. I’ll take it from here. Luckily, my next destination is a dungeon city. It’s close to the royal capital and adventurers from all over the continent gather there, seeking out the dungeon. It’s probably easier to gain information there.”

I thanked the god of war. Then, as he shook my hand, he said,

“Ara, looks like our time is up. Goodbye, Tenma-chan. Let’s meet again sometime.”

My field of vision was then dyed white.
