Chapter 459 Sister and bodyguard.
"Hmm?"
"What"s wrong, Sakura?"
Sakura, who was talking to my mother, turned her gaze in the direction of the movement. My suspicious mother also turned her head in the direction that Sakura turned her gaze to.
Naturally, I also turned my eyes to that direction, but beyond that, I couldn"t see anything because the flower fields continued forever. I mean, there can"t be anything other than us in this world.
Despite this, Sakura put her hand on her ear and was trying to hear something. Sakura has the [G.o.d’s Love characteristic] "Super-Hearing". It is possible to select and hear sounds in the range that humans cannot hear and sounds in the distance. Can you hear something?
"I hear a strange voice … moaning?"
"Eh?"
Moaning!?? That’s scary! Is it horror-like! ?? I don"t remember setting such a thing for this world! ??
"… No, no … It"s like a baby is crying …"
""Ah.""
Father and mother start walking quickly, saying "Maybe …". Huh? What?
We also hurry and chase after them.
I found a baby in baby clothes, buried in the flower field a few minutes away. She’s sick with a face that seems like it’s about to start crying at any moment.
"It was her after all. Good. Great, but don’t cry."
"Wow …"
Mother picks up the baby from the flower field. Perhaps that child … No way.
My mother smiles and turns the baby towards me.
"See, Fuyuka. It’s oniisan. ”
"Uh?"
Is that so? I see a small pair of black eyes staring at me. This child is my … My sister was born, it seems.
Well, because I specified the whole house as the effect range of [Connect], did I pull this sleeping child over here as well?
"So your name is Fuyuka? Did you get into this dream because you wanted to see me? "
"It"s my dream. My daughter is an attentive child, as expected to come to say h.e.l.lo to her brother."
"No, Tsuzuri-san. She’s also my daughter."
Both of them are cradling the baby while having a strange dispute. Were they both so caring? If anything, I must have been taught a liberal principle at my time. My parents left my upbringing to my grandpa.
I felt a little jealousy, but when I was handed the child by my mother who said, "Look," that feeling was blown away.
"Dau!"
"Wow …"
Fuyuka reached out to me with her small hands that look like autumn leaves. Cute. It"s not the first time I"ve held a baby, but maybe it"s my sister who looks the cutest.
"Wow, wow! She’s so cute!"
"It"s true!"
"She is cute. I affirm."
Linze, Su, and Sakura surrounded me, but Fuyuka wasn"t crying and looked at them with interest.
"She’s called "Fuyuka", isn"t she?"
"I was worried about how to read “Fuyuka" or "Toka". I thought I"d be sorry if her nickname was “Tou-chan" even though she was a girl."
Mother explains to Yumina, while laughing. That nickname, I was about to get it when I was in elementary school. My father, who is smiling behind my mother, must have some experience. His name is "Touichirou".
"Dah, daa!"
"Oh?”
"Wa!"
Fuyuka twists herself and reaches for Linze, who was by her side. She was not afraid. Fuyuka seems to have a very aggressive personality. …… Is she like Mother?
"I don"t mind, I’ll hold her."
"Well, is that okay?"
"She is my sister-in-law-chan. I shouldn’t hesitate. "
In response to LInze’s words, mother slowly hands Fuyuka to Linze. Although Mother was being careful not to drop her, Fuyuka fluttered her hand toward Linze as if in a hurry.
"Dau, du!"
"Nice to meet you, Fuyuka-chan. I am Linze-sister-in-law-chan."
"Dau?"
When Linze spoke, Fuyuka returned a happy smile. Doesn’t her smile look just like a flower blooming? My little wife, are you holding an angel?
"Oh, can I hold you, too?”
"If you take care not to drop her. She won"t bite you, so be very careful."
Else was asking Mother for permission, probably because she wanted to embrace Fuyuka, too. Everyone else alternates embracing Fuyuka and smile happily. She’s popular, my sister.
"She is laughing.”
"It makes me smile."
Lu looks towards Fuyuka, who laughs happily, saying those words.
"She looks like a small, shy child.”
"It"s Darling"s younger sister. I mean, she must grow up to be quite something … I think she’ll be a pretty woman in the future."
"Hey …"
I rushed into the conversation between Hilda and Lean. What are you talking about? Fuyuka, who has grown up to look like Tomoe Gozen, who knocks down a man when he tries to court her, comes to my mind. Well, it would be alright if you grow up to be a kind child …
My mother taps on my shoulder, who had a difficult face.
"Well, there is Fuyuka, and we"re having fun, so don"t worry, you"ll be a good boy, right?"
"No … yeah."
What should I say? There are quite a few things that parents want you to do …
I can"t help it because my mothers think that it"s a dream that was made conveniently from the memory of reading Himura-kun"s manga.
I felt like I could just tell the truth, but I"m here as part of the G.o.d Company’s newbie training, and I can"t come here freely.
It may be possible to come with the permission of the World G.o.d, but even the World G.o.d will not be able to provide convenience to me many times. Even though I am one of his dependents, it seems that he can not favor one G.o.d over another.
Besides, I have already decided to live in the Different World. With the girls and all of my companions and friends I’ve made over there, I will continue to do so.
◇◇◇◇
"I was surprised when the elementary school teacher called me because Touya, who was supposed to leave home in the morning, didn"t come to school. If there was a noise over here due to an accident or kidnapping, the police station would contact me. Come on. What do you think he was doing?… He was rafting down the river. He needed to be saved when the raft broke and he almost drowned on the way. Touya was a totally stupid child. "
"Why was he riding a raft again …?"
"He thought that he could go down the river on a raft faster than walking to school. He wanted to see if it worked, and if it did, why wouldn’t he want to use that method the next morning?"
Already, that story is …
Behind the scenes, my mother"s exposure treatment was held in the flower garden.
I"m no longer hearing those words, and my dad and I are away from everyone while eating Lu"s homemade food stored in [Storage].
"I miss you. Did that incident happen in the second grade of your elementary school?"
"… I was in the first grade."
The river descent was inspired by the Adventures of Tom Sawyer that my father gave me. Even children can make rafts.
But, I couldn"t make a decent one with the waste materials, old ropes, and the power of my childish body. It took just a few minutes to disa.s.semble and sank in the middle of the river. I"m glad it wasn"t midwinter when that happened.
After that, various people were angry with me … And only Grandpa was like, "The structure was pretty nice!” I was congratulated for my raft production method.
However, perhaps because she thinks it"s a dream, my mother didn"t hesitate to take a look at my black history … No, she doesn’t hesitate to talk about you even when she doesn’t think she’s dreaming, that person.
Everyone has found out too many things about me, and are still asking my mother a lot of questions. I don"t want you to revisit my black history so much … please stop…
"But Touya has already gotten married. Even though it"s a dream, I"m happy. I"m very happy …"
"It"s going to be a lot of work from now on …"
"Touya-kun. Marriage, it"s better for a man to take a step back if you want to do anything."
Well, many of my wives are the type who come forward even if I don"t take a step back … On the contrary, I am pulled forward a lot. In the Different World, there are many women who are quite straightforward…
Even the most docile (believed to be) Linze will tell me her opinion clearly.
On the contrary, they’re worth relying on, but if I keep relying on them others will think that I’m pathetic as a man. I know it looks like I’m a c.r.a.ppy guy.
"Don"t throw away such things as a man so quickly. It"s no use giving your family a good look. Our family is a family that accepts everything, including the uncool people, so a man"s good looks and pride are just meaningless, aren’t they?"
…… Well, I think so.
I don"t think everyone will hate me when I hear about my old mistakes, saying "it"s not cool". I also don’t exactly judge them based on their past stories.
"Touya’s first love was Shoko-chan, who was the girl next door."
"That"s something embarra.s.sing, mom!"
While listening to my mother"s embarra.s.sing stories coming from my back, I eat from the bento box that Lu made. Oh, hummm! It"s delicious!
"Uh, bu, uh …"
"Are you tired, Fuyuka? Do you want to sleep?"
Looking back, Fuyuka, who was held by her mother, leaked a small yawn and her eyelids were drooping.
No wonder I was able to connect her consciousness with [Connect], since she was sleeping and I awoke her. Even if you"re not a baby, you"ll be mentally tired if you are suddenly awoken from your sleep.
Or did she take care to protect her brother"s honor by staying awake for all this time? An amazing younger sister. I’m happy as an oniisan …
"… This will end soon."
"Are you sure?"
I stood up while putting Lu"s handmade bento into [Storage]. I"ve achieved my goal, and even if it hasn’t been too long since we met again, it"s hard to say goodbye. My mother looks up at me with a disappointed look.
“We can"t stay here for too long. Fuyuka looks sleepy and you’ll be back soon.”
“Okay…"
Divine power is consumed to maintain the subs.p.a.ce using [Connect]. It won"t last long. You have to go home before that. …… After all, I don"t want you to expose my black history any more.
Dad also stands up and heads towards everyone. Lu was delighted when my dad praised her cooking. On the contrary, my mother had a difficult expression on her face.
My grandpa and dad are good at cooking, but my mom isn"t very good at it. For me, the taste of my home is rice b.a.l.l.s and sandwiches. Maybe because I specialize in that, my mother"s rice b.a.l.l.s and sandwiches are really delicious. Maybe only I feel that way. No, I wonder if my father is the same.
I wanted to eat that rice ball and sandwich again …
"Are you going?"
"Hmm. I can"t let Fuyuka stay up late."
"Dah …"
Fuyuka twists in her mother"s arms. This is quite a waste. I have to release my control over this dimension soon.
"I’m coming back to Obon. I"m going to make a horse with cuc.u.mber or eggplant. Oh, and my dad is also dragging me. Like you, it doesn"t appear in my dreams. Come see my granddaughter"s face. When to say."
"No, well, I wish we could meet …"
I am vaguely answering my mother"s words. No, I don"t know where Grandpa is. Are you in heaven? I don"t think it"s Grandpa"s fault that he doesn"t appear in mother’s dreams.
I"m not sure if I can come to Obon, but I"ll definitely come again someday. I also want to see the grown up Fuyuka.
"Then, we"re done. Both of us are fine. Fuyuka, too."
"It"s strange that you"re fine … well, have fun with everyone. You won’t cry, right?"
"I"m looking forward to seeing you again. I hope we can relax more next time."
I think it will be possible to stay in the spiritual world for a longer period of time if the ability as a G.o.d is better. I have to work harder so that I can do that.
"[Disconnect]."
I disconnect from the spiritual world. Eventually, my field of vision became vague and dark, and we returned to the real world.
"Hmm……"
Stand up from the top of the carpet. Yeah, my consciousness is clear. I can"t help it, but my eyes have returned to their original low position that looks up at everyone.
"Um …?"
"Fa …?"
Su and Yumina got up at the beginning, and everyone started to regain consciousness.
Everyone woke up from their dreams, but my parents who slept with [Sleep Cloud] casted should still be asleep.
"……Hmm?"
"What"s wrong?”
Well, when I thought about withdrawing, I felt a strange feeling. No way …
When I opened the curtains in the living room and looked at the garden, the World G.o.d stood there. Huh? Why! ??
He’s waving in the moonlight towards me while looking through the window. And behind him is a person who is lagging behind him. ……Who is that person?
I opened the window and put on the sandals that were in the house, and I went out to visit them. It"s hard to walk because the size doesn"t fit …
"It looks like you’ve done everything successfully."
" … Oh, I"m sorry. My mother seems to have done something rude …"
"Well, that can"t be helped. It"s definitely my fault … I was a little scared at that moment, to be honest …"
The World G.o.d leaks a dry laugh. Wait, what kind of existence is my mother to scare Kami-sama?
"So, um … who is that?"
"Um. This guy is a Subordinate G.o.d."
"Eh!?"
"Oh, no, no. He’s not the Subordinate G.o.d that was rampaging in your world in which you were resurrected in. He’s another G.o.d who just wants to see you."
Oh, I was surprised. I wonder if that NEET G.o.d was resurrected … Yeah, unlike that NEET G.o.d, he"s young. I mean, this person is a woman, so I guess all the “he”s are wrong …
The NEET G.o.d was like an old man, but this Subordinate G.o.d looks a little older than Karen-nee … she looks like she is in her late twenties.
Her black hair is short and her body is slender. The atmosphere around her is similar to Moroha-nee.
"She is a Subordinate G.o.d who was the instructor of the subordinate G.o.d you defeated."
Eh, that NEET G.o.d’s sensei!?? As I was surprised, the Subordinate G.o.d, who was the instructor, began to apologize with her head bowed.
"I am very sorry that I caused a great deal of trouble to that world due to my inadequacy. If it was true, I should have apologized immediately, but I can only apologize starting now. Because of my rank, I’m not allowed to go down to the ground … "
"Oh no, please raise your head. The trouble is already over."
A Subordinate G.o.d is, so to speak, a G.o.d who you become just before becoming a formal G.o.d. However, there are also many different types of Subordinate G.o.ds, and if the one who went wild in our world is NEET, this person seems to be an excellent level who can almost temporarily join any company.
In other words, even among the Subordinate G.o.ds, there was a hierarchical relations.h.i.+p like seniors and juniors, and it seems that this person was instructing that NEET G.o.d. You must have had a hard time …
"That guy was unbearable, and there were places where he let a lot of loose ends behind … I scolded him every time, but he didn"t seem to reflect at all … It"s ridiculous when I think it"s the usual skipping again … "
You would have been surprised. It"s like seeing Bite, who was instructing until yesterday, being reported as a criminal in the morning news.
"Well, I said it wasn"t all the fault of this child. I said that she couldn"t become a Lower G.o.d if she had to atone for her sins … That"s why I brought her to Touya-kun."
It"s a law … I think that it was only the NEET G.o.d who was bad…
"Well, then, this child says she wants to be the guardian deity of your sister …"
"What!?"
What is a guardian deity!?? WIll my sister be possessed by a G.o.d!??
"To be precise, not as a G.o.d, but as a person living on this earth, and implicitly protecting your sister … kind of like a bodyguard. Of course, she can"t use her power as a G.o.d …"
"No, you do not even have to bother to do that! I don"t really care about what happened with that NEET G.o.d anymore!"
"I"m sorry for that! Please listen!"
Eh … Akan. This person is the so-called serious type. A type that is often displayed by honor students who cannot make jokes. Someone who can"t move on until the problem is cleared up. She’s a G.o.d.
"Please allow me. To a G.o.d, being with a human for their entire life is just like spending a few minutes doing something. If that child feels like it, I"d like to do what she wants …"
"Hmm …"
Certainly, I"ve thought about making a summoned beast into Fuyuka’s bodyguard, before … I abandoned that thought because I realized that the magical power was weak in this world and I couldn"t keep the summoned beast in the realm.
Instead, even though she may be the lowest tier as a G.o.d, if the Subordinate G.o.d follows Fuyuka as a bodyguard, I would have a piece of mind …
"But how? Are you humanized?"
"That would make things difficult, so I"m thinking of becoming an animal. I"m going to transform myself into a pet that can stay here to protect your sister."
A G.o.d as a pet or something sounds kind of like a joke … But the person in front of me must have said it seriously … Thank you for this, so, what would the pest animal be?
"If so, could you turn into a dog. My parents both like dogs."
"Dog …? I see."
Immediately after that, the female Subordinate G.o.d transformed into a white wolf-like dog. Oops, she looks rabid. Is that form a Siberian Husky or a dog of that species?
"Is this all right?"
"No, hmm … I"m wondering if you can be a bit more… tame-looking …"
"Huh?!!”
Ghan! A dog that looks down as if shocked. Oh no, that form looks too wild. The image of a lone wolf, or "a rabid dog" who’s living with others may not be too good for my parents. Also, she may not be accepted by my family to be kept as a pet.
I think the first impression is important to be kept. Oh yeah.
"Can you be a puppy? I think it"s more likely that a cute little one will be kept."
"I see. If it……"
The white dog was enveloped in a white light and quickly became a small puppy. Ugh, she’s cute. Where did that wild-looking dog suddenly go?
"How about this?”
"It"s perfect. I wonder if it"s okay to appeal to them in a friendly way. Oh, remember to not speak words, okay?"
"I know."
A white puppy puts her paw next to her forehead and poses in a form that looks like a salute. No, it"s weird. Is that okay?
"I"m sorry to bother you."
"No, I"m grateful for this too. I"m still worried about a few things for my sister, though."
"If that girl collects magical power, she can manage to use healing magic. I think she can deal with illnesses, so don"t worry about your sister’s health."
Is that so? The Subordinate G.o.d is a reliable bodyguard.
After that, my brides, who had caught up, cuddled with the Subordinate G.o.d-turned-puppy…
"It"s cute! It"s fluffy!"
"Hey, stop, oh!”
"It"s such a pure white color! It"s cute!"
That"s some dejavu. It"s the same as when it was Kohaku. I miss her.
…… Is this really okay?
