Chapter 1986: Canalis 3
I heard a shocking truth from Canalis-san, but even though Canalis-san travels to different worlds, it's not like the Gods who manage their own worlds can easily come here, so I probably don't need to think too deeply about it.
Makina-san is a special case, being the God from the world I originally came from and already knowing Shiro-san from before. If the World Creators fear Shiro-san, there's no way they'd come to this world just to see me, so I think things would probably be alright.
With those thoughts in mind, I arrived at the reception room and had Canalis-san sit down. At that moment, Illness-san came in with some tea, placing it and some snacks in front of both me and Canalis-san before leaving with a bow.
[......So, getting to the main point, what brings you here today, Canalis-san?]
[Well, the main reason is to formally introduce myself to you by my real name, Kaito-sama. Ahh, I know what Kaito-sama is thinking. You’re wondering why I introduced myself with a fake name at the party but used my real name the second time we met...... Well, to put it simply, I resolved the problem I was dealing with.]
[Problem?]
[Yes, that's right. Hmmm...... This might take a while, but do you mind if I talk about myself?]
[It's alright. I'm curious, and if Canalis-san is alright with it......]
How should I say this...... Compared to other World Creators like Shiro-san and Makina-san, Canalis-san seems much more reasonable, not being forceful with his own thoughts at all. It’s easy to forget that she’s an Omnipotent God.
She speaks in a cheerful tone, but her story is quite heavy. In short, she lost someone she respected dearly, and out of regret and self-loathing, she stopped using her real name and her expression became void.
[......Arehh? But since you introduced yourself with your real name this time, does that mean you had a change of heart?]
[That's right. Actually, the person I respected has been revived...... or rather, she has been reincarnated. Being able to reunite and talk with her has helped me come to terms with a lot of things.]
[I see...... Ah~~ Errr, sorry if I'm wrong, but could it be that you're someone who knew Nebula back when she was a God?]
[........................That's strange. I thought this was a very delicate topic, so I tried to be quite vague about it...... In my mind, there's no way Kaito-sama should have been able to react as if you already knew about this...... Arehh?]
Though her expression didn’t change, Canalis-san tilted her head with a very puzzled tone.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Wait, he knew about that!? Ah, but I see...... Could it be...... With how much of an idiotic parent he is, I was thinking he might have been ignoring common sense when matters are related to Nebula, but if he knew that Nebula, a downgraded God she may be, was still a Quasi-Omnipotent one...... His reactions would be more like "If it's Nebula, she should be capable of something like that"......?]
