Chapter 1963: Neo Baby Castella Blend ⑭
While chatting with Shea-san over coffee, our conversation gradually shifted to topics concerning the G.o.ds.
[By the way, Kaito, you mentioned that you haven’t been to the Middle Level much?]
[Yes, I usually go to the Upper Level or the Sanctuary. Last I’m here was back in the White G.o.d Festival.]
[Fumu, now that you mentioned it, despite being acquainted with the Supreme G.o.ds and Shallow Vernal-sama, you have few acquaintances among the High-ranked G.o.ds…… Were those in the party before the only ones you know?]
[Yes, among the High-ranked G.o.ds I’ve met are you, Sky-san, Gaia-san, and Marine-san. Ah, those I invited are limited to those I’ve met and exchanged greetings with. I had seen some others but haven’t really talked with.]
As Shea-san mentioned, I have few acquaintances among the High-ranked G.o.ds…… Speaking of which, there’s even fewer among the lower G.o.ds.
And considering that I am acquainted with the Supreme G.o.ds, who are normally hard to meet, and the G.o.d of Creation, it does feel strange that I have so few connections with the High and Low-ranked G.o.ds.
The same goes for my acquaintances among the n.o.bility; I have few connections with Barons and Viscounts. It’s understandable why Alice says my social connections are skewed.
[……What about the G.o.d of Flash or the G.o.d of Thoughts?]
[I’ve never talked to them directly. I’ve seen High-ranked G.o.ds like that time you guys gathered in Lilia-san’s garden, so I might recognize them if I saw them……]
[I see…… G.o.d of Life-sama’s two a.s.sistants and one other direct subordinate, and among G.o.d of Fate-sama’s direct subordinate, me…… For you to not be acquainted with any of G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama’s direct subordinates, that’s quite skewed.]
[I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but how many direct subordinates like Shea-san do Supreme G.o.ds have?]
When talking about the Supreme G.o.ds’ direct subordinates, it refers to the G.o.ds who are allowed to live in the Upper Level. While I know they exist, I’m not sure how many there are.
Hearing my question, Shea-san lightly nodded and then explained.
[Basically, each Supreme G.o.d has five direct subordinates. That said, even though those fives are collectively called “direct subordinates”, we have differing roles. First are the two “a.s.sistants” to the Supreme G.o.d. They receive direct instructions from the Supreme G.o.d and a.s.sist them with various tasks, so they hold a lot of authority. For G.o.d of Life-sama, they’re G.o.d of Sky and G.o.d of Earth, for G.o.d of Fate-sama, it’s me and G.o.d of Fortune, and for G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama, they’re G.o.d of Flash and G.o.d of Thoughts. The remaining three direct subordinates are responsible for relaying messages between the Supreme G.o.ds and the Low-ranked G.o.ds or to the other High-ranked G.o.ds…… They relay tasks a.s.signed by the Supreme G.o.ds to other G.o.ds and compile reports to deliver back to the Supreme G.o.ds.]
[Fumu fumu, so the a.s.sistants are technically in a higher position?]
[In name, they’re technically next in line after the Supreme G.o.ds, but in actuality, there’s no significant difference in status or influence among the five direct subordinates. We are almost equal in standing.]
Come to think of it, I think I heard a bit before that generally speaking, High-ranked G.o.ds and Low-ranked G.o.ds are a.s.signed to serve under one of the Supreme G.o.ds.
If we apply this to a company setting, each Supreme G.o.d is like the head of a department———– perhaps a department manager or something similar. The a.s.sistants like Shea-san, Sky-san, and Gaia-san would be like section managers, and the remaining three direct subordinates might be akin to section heads or similar roles.
[So that means that including Shea-san, there are 15 High-ranked G.o.ds living in the Upper Level. Then, I think there will be opportunities to eventually meet them.]
[……Well, if it’s you, I wouldn’t be surprised if you quickly said you’ve met all of them. If you’re interested in meeting G.o.d of Fate-sama’s direct subordinates, let me know and I can introduce you to them.]
[Thank you. I’ll definitely take you up on that when the time comes.]
Compared to the Demon Realm, I have fewer acquaintances in the G.o.d Realm, so meeting other High-ranked G.o.ds as Shea-san mentioned seems like something I can look forward to.
Also, although she’s not a High-ranked G.o.d, I’m curious about that G.o.d of Fertility-san, who seemed to be going through quite the hardships from the stuff I heard about her.
Serious-senpai : [Whoa there, I think I heard the rumbling of a Stomachache Warrior’s stomach somewhere……]
