My irst visit to the God Realm welcomed me with a very refreshing
sight.
The lower level reminds of a city in the Human Realm, with huge lowers
that are several meters high and a lake loating in the sky.
The middle level was like a residential area for nobles, lined with
beautiful white buildings with trees that resembled the light trees I had
seen before, and the entire city seemed to be enveloped in a faint light.
Then, higher than these two lands, the cluster of lands that is the highest
area in the God Realm aside from Shiro-san's Sanctuary… we reached the
upper levels.
The upper level is a green carpet of grass that is spread across the open
grass, and even though it should be noon, there are multiple layers of
light in the sky that look like shooting stars, giving the place a sense of
solemnity.
And at the end of my gaze… At the edge of the donut-shaped earth,
closest to the Sanctuary, which can be seen even higher up in the sky,
three huge temples are arranged around the Sanctuary.
Each one is as large as a castle, and I'm saying that even though we're a
considerable distance from them to know how large they really are.
Then, at Chronois-san's suggestion, we decided to check out Fate-san
and Life-san's temples before going to Shiro-san's home, and so, we
headed towards Fate-san's temple, which is the closest one to where we
currently are.
It seems that it is true that only the Supreme Gods and their
subordinates are allowed to enter this place, as the large space felt
incredibly quiet and the other Gods that I had seen on the lower and
middle levels couldn't be seen at all.
Once inside Fate-san's temple, we were met with a wide corridor that let
alone me, even Megiddo-san could through with room to spare, giving
the atmosphere that this place is certainly where a pinnacle God lives.
Well, I doubt Magnawell-san is able to move around here… That's just
because Magnawell-san's size is abnormal, and in the irst place, a house
that he can get into couldn't be called a house anymore, it would just be
a gigantic… errr… something.
Going down the long, quiet hallway, we stand in front of a huge door.
The door was so big that I didn't feel like I could open it at all but…
Chronois-san doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by it and just
knocked on the door.
[God of Fate, are you there?]
[…Hmm? God of Time and Space? What is it now…]
When Chronois-san calls out to the door, the huge door slowly opens
and Fate-san languidly speaks, showing herself.
Her purple hair was rufled and was springing out all over the place, and
the priest's robe that she's wearing looked wrinkled up… Inside the
room, which looked as wide as a sports ground from what I could see,
there is a large amount of cushions spread out all over the place just like
those ball pits back in my world, and it seems like you can lie down just
about anywhere.
…How should I say this… Isn't this a formation illed with uselessness
with no opening at all? Are you really that lazy…
I've known from the moment we met in the Human Realm that she was a
lazy person… but it seems that what she was wearing when she came to
the Human Realm is her, already trying to dress up.
W- Well, how should I say this… I should have known that Fate-san is
like this, but for me to still be surprised… Rubbing her half-opened eyes,
Fate-san drowsily spoke.
[…You know I'm busy relaxing right… now?]
[…Errr.]
However, when those half-opened eyes widened when they caught sight
of me, Fate-san stiffened with a shocked look on her face.
After she dumbfoundedly stared at my face for a while, she began
sweating profusely.
[…Errr… Are you… Could you be… Kai-chan?]
[Ah, yes. Errr, it's been a while.]
[…Sorry, please wait here.]
[Eh?]
As soon as she said that, Fate-san closed the door after telling me to
wait.
Eh? Wait here, how long do I have to wait here?
As I was thinking about that, the door was opened again just after a few
seconds passed, and Fate-san appeared.
[Yaa, welcome, Kai-chan! To my temple!]
[Wha!? E- Ehhhh!?]
Fate-san, who appeared again, had radically changed from earlier.
Her beautiful hair that seems to shimmer and shine, her pure white
priest's robe that doesn't have a single wrinkle in it… The overly stuffed
room, which I don't know if there's any place I can step on, was now
dust-free, and the loors and walls were polished like mirrors.
[Now, now, come in, come in, I'll have some tea prepared for you.]
[…Errr, compared to earlier… Isn't that quite the drastic change?]
[Ahaha, what are you talking about, Kai-chan. I'm a "clean freak", so
that's why my room is like this. I just woke up earlier… so I ended up
showing you my embarrassing side.]
You just woke up… No, that's not what I'm talking about here though!?
Your room! I'm talking about your room!!! Isn't your room just
screaming out laziness earlier!? It was literally a sea of cushions
though!? Eh? What happened in the last ive seconds!?
[…If you could do that, you could have just done it on a regular basis.]
[Geez, even the God of Time and Space is being mischievous too~~ I'm
the always serious and energetic Fate-chan, you know!?]
[…I want to ask you one thing. Why do you look so lively right now?]
Unnn, even I can tell that Fate-san isn't always like this. I mean, I was
even beginning to doubt if the person I'm talking with now is really Fate-
san.
It feels like she's trying to be obviously serious. What is this? This
slightly unpleasant feeling…
It seems that uneasiness hit right on mark, as when Fate-san heard what
Chronois-san said, she loudly declared.
[That's obviously so that I could win Kai-chan's heart!!!]
[…Oiiii… Fate-saaannn…]
[Well~~ I visited you multiple times but you haven't reacted well at all,
so I was thinking that Kai-chan was actually homo…]
[Oi, stop right there, useless goddess.]
What the heck is this person saying now!!!? Who the heck is homo!? I'm
asking you!!!
However, as expected of Fate-san, she magniicently ignored the shout of
my heart and continued speaking.
[However, I heard from Shall-tan, that with Underworld King and Death
King… and also some elf, I heard that he became lovers with them!!!
Then, doesn't that mean I also have a chance!!!? I can also do it!!!]
[…What the heck…]
[If the Underworld King is OK as a love interest, then that would mean
someone small-statured like me is A-OK!!! Then, I don't have any choice
but to go attack!!! I'm aiming for the ultimate kept lifestyle!!! I will be the
God of NEETs!!!]
[...…]
[...…]
Ahh, she's still the same old Fate-san… When she said her wish of
becoming the "God of NEETs", I could feel an irredeemable uselessness
from her.
Chronois-san seems to be completely dumbfounded too, putting her
ingers to her temples and her cheek seemed to be twitching.
[And so, Kai-chan! For now, how about we start with a "kiss"!!!?]
[…No, even if you say it like you're just going to have beer for now in
some izakaya… I refuse.]
(T/N: Fate said "toriaezu/for now", and Kaito referenced "toriaezu
nama/I'll have a beer for now")
[Ehhh~~ Isn't it ine, it's just a contact with our lips. If you do it now, I'll
even let you get the option of feeling my breasts!!!]
[...…]
Looking at Fate-san who is closing in on me, I backed away, somehow
feeling a sense of dejavu.
Unfortunately, Chronois-san still hasn't recovered from her confusion
yet.
Fate-san began walking up to me with bloodshot eyes, and there were
even some drool slightly dripping down her mouth.
[It's alright, it will be alright… It's just something like a light greeting…
Just a quick smack…]
[Please wait, Fate-san!]
As I'm pulling away with all my might from Fate-san, who is approaching
me like a starving, petite predator, Alice suddenly appears, looking
somewhat lustered.
[Eh? Arehh? Shall-tan? What's wrong?]
[…Please withdraw now! Y- You're going to die!?]
[Eh? What in the world are you—— Hahh!?]
Almost at the same time Fate-san tilted her head at Alice's lusteredsounding words, the entire room was enveloped in a "black fog".
Fate-san seems to have immediately understood what that black fog
was, and as her face began turning pale, she began sweating like a
waterfall as golden eyes appeared in mid-air, glaring at Fate-san.
[…This… This is amazing… I… I have never felt like this before… I haven't
felt death this close… N- No way~~ I- I- I- It's just skinship… you know?]
[Fate-san! Apologize!!! Quickly!!!]
[I- I'm sorr——]
Before Fate-san could completely say her apology, she was swallowed up
by the black fog, and her scream that seemed to rip through the air
immediately afterwards.
[Gyyaaaaahhhhhhhh!? St- Stoooooppppp!? You'll tear me to pieces!?
You'll seriously to piieeecccceeeeessss!?]
[…S- She was too late huh…]
[Higyyaaahhhhh!? I'll be crushed, I'll be cruuuussshhheeeddd!?]
[…Farewell, my soul friend… I'll never forget how gallant you are.]
[Wait, don't kill me off just——- my right haaaaannnndddd!? I
understand that I did a bit thing, alrriiiiigggghhttt!? Wait, arehh? My
wounds are healing… Ginnyyyaaaahhhh!? Y- You're doing this
agaaaaiiinnnn!? S- Stoooooppppp!?]
Fate-san stayed being consumed by the black fog, and her screams rang
out for a while in the room.
Dear Mom, Dad—— Reaching the upper level of the God Realm, we
checked out Fate-san's temple irst. Well, I don't know how I should say
this, I've always known that but—— Fate-san is still the same as always.
