Volume 8 - CH 20

Chapter 20 – The State of the Gods and the Shabby Secrets of the Saporabi

I appoint the God of Gastronomy-sama and the others to the staff at 150 Central Park and leave the restaurant. For some reason, I’m alone with the God of Light-sama. Can I consider being with a god as being together? Is it right to say that I’m alone with the God of Light-sama? It’s troublesome.

No, don’t think nonsense; just enjoy the pseudo-date with the God of Light-sama. I don’t think I can have an ecchi relationship with the God of Light-sama, but I should at least be allowed to fantasize about it.

“God of Light-sama, what are you going to do now?”

“Well, let’s see. Everything I wanted to ask you today has been done, so what should we do now?”

Oh, everything has been done?

“Is there anything you want to do, God of Light-sama?”

“Right. I was just thinking about bringing the gods here without any problems… Something I want to do, huh? I can’t think of anything.”

Why is that? The word ‘corporate slave’ came to mind. God of Light-sama, I’m really sorry for your troubles.

“Well, you look tired as far as I can tell, so let’s go to the spa and get a massage and a beauty treatment. Afterward, I suggest you change into a bathing suit and take a bath in the Jacuzzi with a view. It is also good to have a light drink. Since you are here, please enjoy yourself and relieve your fatigue.”

I would like to join the God of Light-sama, but I guess I’ll have to let her relieve her fatigue here first. Well, I recommended a Jacuzzi in a bathing suit, but this much should be allowed.

“If it is the recommendation of the ship’s owner, Wataru-san, then there is no doubt about it. I will do it.”

“Haha, it’s a big responsibility, isn’t it? I think you can at least get a good rest. I will escort you to the spa.”

“Fufu, thank you very much.”

A pseudo-date with the God of Light-sama. We talked about recommended dishes, desserts, and interesting events on the way to the spa. It’s a lot of fun.

When I enter the spa with the God of Light-sama, there is a goddess in a bathrobe walking around. It’s a rare sight.

“Ara, is the God of Light going to get a treatment too?”

The goddess in the robe spoke to her. Which god was it? I greeted her. Is it possible to ask the goddess her name again? I remember the Goddess of the Forest, but the others were too busy looking around, and I couldn’t remember their names.

“Yes, I came for the experience because Wataru-san recommended it. Did you undergo the treatment as well, God of Art?”

“Yes, I did. It was wonderful, just like your recommendation. My skin looks great.”

Oh, she was the God of Art-sama? Apparently, she said her skin was glowing, so the God of Light-sama must be pleased as well.

“Well, I’m looking forward to it. Wataru-san, I’ll be going now. Thank you.”

God of Light-sama seems to be a little excited… I greeted the God of Art-sama and went outside. I’m going to walk around the ship and take a video. I’m curious to see how the gods spend their time. Let’s walk around the Royal Promenade first.

As I walk around with the video rolling, I see a male god in a good mood drinking alcohol, a goddess making noise in the souvenir and accessory shop, and a goddess seriously selecting products in the cosmetics shop after a spa treatment.

Next, let’s go to the casino. The God of Entertainment-sama said he would go there as well. I went down one floor and went to the casino.

When I entered the casino, I found about 20 to 30 gods enjoying gambling.

“Oh, Wataru-kun, this isn’t right. Something is wrong. I can’t win at all. Shouldn’t there be some kind of entertainment for a VIP like me?”

Creator God-sama started to say something strange. Can casinos cheat?　

“Creator God-sama, there is nothing I can do. Are you losing that much?”

“Yes, what was his name again? Oh yeah, that Saporabi; I’m sure he’s cheating. Do something about it.”

“Oh, that’s it. Why is the support staff made up of Horned Rabbits? You wrote in your message that you changed it to something I like. What I like is a beautiful woman with big breasts or a Slime. Why did you change it to Horned Rabbit?”

“What are you talking about? The rabbit is the basis of your life, isn’t it? What do you have against the Horned Rabbits that have become the food of life for the inexperienced you? Besides, you were so happy to eat the roasted rabbit; didn’t you like it?”

It is true that without the Horned Rabbit, I might not even be able to leave the Western City. I enjoyed eating the whole roasted Horned Rabbit, but I can’t agree with him.

“But, Creator God-sama, the Horned Rabbit is the monster that I slaughtered. Isn’t that awkward?”

“No, no, they’re happy too, so it’s okay.”

Huh, the Horned Rabbits are happy too. …Happy?

“Are you saying that they are happy? Are Saporabi and the Horned Rabbit I killed related?”

“Ah! Why does the God of Entertainment have so many chips? Hey, did you win? How did you do it?”

“Oh, Creator God-sama, wait a minute. We’re still talking…”　

“I am the God of Entertainment, after all. I have different readings, skills, and luck. Do your best, Creator God-sama.”

God of Entertainment-sama, please don’t continue the conversation.

“Wataru-kun, this isn’t fair! Why does the Creator God lose and the God of Entertainment win? It’s not right.”

“Even if you say it’s not right, it’s a ship that came from the ability that the Creator God-sama gave me. More importantly, please tell me the relationship between Saporabi and the Horned Rabbit I killed.”

“That doesn’t matter. I want you to make sure that I win. Please.”

“Creator God-sama. Among the abilities you have given me, there is no ability to control who wins or loses in the casinos. Please do your best with your own power. If you are the Creator God, can’t you do something with your own power?”

“Well… it wouldn’t be fun if I did it myself.”

…You can easily win if you do it yourself, but it’s no fun. But you don’t want to lose, so you want me to make you win? I don’t understand that. I don’t think there’s much difference between cheating yourself and cheating for entertainment.

“In that case, please do your best with your own skill. My skill is not enough to handle it. So please forget about the casino and tell me about the Horned Rabbit.”

“Are you still worried about it? You are very meticulous, aren’t you? Are you enjoying your life?”

That’s the Creator God-sama… If I don’t put it into words, heaven forbid, it will fall. God of Light-sama, please do your best.

“Yes, I’m so meticulous that I can’t live happily because I’m so worried about the Horned Rabbit. Please tell me.”

“It can’t be helped. Saporabi is surely the Horned Rabbit you were hunting. I took the trouble to find them, pull them out, and reshape them. If they work hard, they can go to heaven, so it’s a good deal for the Horned Rabbit as well.”

Hmm, when you defeat a monster, does it become a spirit? If that’s the case, then the ones I slaughtered at sea would also become spirits, huh? I’m worried… If the Horned Rabbits I slaughtered could become spirits, that would be a good thing… but I’ve been worried about it ever since Saporabi came out.

If he had explained it in the message, I wouldn’t have had a problem with it, but I’m not convinced it’s such a big deal after going through so much. …But I don’t have the courage to go against the Creator God-sama, so I just accept it. Is it possible for a god to use the word entering heaven in the first place?

“Oh, I see. I am happy if they can go to heaven because I am indebted to the Horned Rabbit. Thank you, Creator God-sama.”

“I’m worried that you didn’t seem sincere at all, but that’s okay. Then, I’ll try the casino again.”

Creator God-sama runs away without hearing my answer… Speaking of which, where does the money for the casino come from? I’ll ask later. The other gods seem to be having a lot of fun, so let’s go somewhere else.

I want to go to the pool, but if I go there, I don’t think I’ll be able to go anywhere else. Let’s just make quick work of the other places quickly and go to the pool. Let’s go to Central Park first.

I get to Central Park, and I walk through the park. I haven’t walked through a park by myself in a long time. I’ve enjoyed nature so much in the Demon Forest and Dark Elf Island that I only come here when we have dinner together.

It’s nice to take a leisurely walk in nature. It’s artificial, but… in this world, you risk death if you take a leisurely walk in nature. It’s sad, isn’t it?

I can hear recorded birdsong. As I walked aimlessly through the park, I saw the beautiful Goddess of the Forest-sama looking at the trees.

The goddesses are all beautiful, as they should be. The dark elves are also beautiful, of course. The rate of beauty is high for both beastmen and humans. It’s really a dream world.

The God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama stand out among the goddesses. The God of Light-sama is the pinnacle of the sharp and capable woman. As for the God of Gastronomy-sama, she is the ultimate in sex appeal.

The Goddess of the Forest-sama is a lovely, smiling, youthful, older sister-type beauty. And her overflowing breasts express infinite gentleness. Perhaps it is the blessing of the Goddess of the Forest-sama that dark elves have large breasts.

“Hello, Goddess of the Forest-sama. How do you like this park? I apologize if you feel uncomfortable in this man-made park.”

“Hello, Wataru-san. It does feel strange, doesn’t it? But I like it because of its beautiful and thoughtful arrangement.”

Goddess of the Forest-sama, I like it too. Forbidden love between a god and a human… such things are probably the exclusive domain of the brave and heroes, but when I see the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama, I can’t help but wonder if there’s anything I can do about it.

…As a result of thinking about it, it’s just not possible, no matter what I think. Let’s put all my energy into videotaping. I’m just allowed to watch. They are my idols. I want to have a handshake or something with them.

“I am glad if you liked it, Goddess of the Forest-sama.”

I continue my conversation with the Goddess of the Forest-sama, watching her carefully. As expected from the Goddess of the Forest-sama, she heals me. I think the negative ions are definitely coming out.

“Speaking of which, Wataru-san, thank you for organizing the festival with the dark elves. I enjoyed watching it. I’m glad the children seemed to enjoy it as well.”

Oh, that’s right, the dark elves’ festival goddess is the Goddess of the Forest-sama, so it must have been delivered. From now on, the dark elves’ island festival will be enjoyed even more enthusiastically. The prayers will be stronger when I think of the rich twin hills.

“No, no, it’s our thanks to you for the pleasant festivities. But, Goddess of the Forest-sama, the dark elves are still in a difficult situation. Is there no help from the gods?”

“Um, I would like to help the children who are praying for me, but I am not allowed to interfere. I’m barely able to enrich those children’s forests in secret.”

“Oh, that’s right. You weren’t allowed to interfere in the lower world, were you?”

Right. How could the gentle Goddess of the Forest-sama not be saddened to see the dark elves in such a situation? Those rich twin hills are filled with sorrow, those human supremacists; I can’t forgive them.

“Yes. Only god’s original work is allowed. I am sorry.”

“No, I am also sorry for being selfish.”

“I’m grateful to you for helping those children, even if it is only a small part of it.”

I was told it was a small part. I feel like I’m being told to work harder. It is impossible. I don’t have the energy to go looking for the dark elves anymore. Let’s pretend not to notice.

“No, no, I just kept my contract, too. No need to thank me. Well, it’s time for me to go to the next place. Enjoy the Castle, Goddess of the Forest-sama.”

“Ara, that’s too bad. I would have liked to talk to you more… but I’ll talk to you later.”

“Yes, see you then.”

I hurry away from the Goddess of the Forest. Let’s see, let’s go to the aqua theater first.

If I stay with her, I have a feeling that I might promise to search for the dark elves before I know it. I guess the Goddess of the Forest-sama was worried about the dark elves after all. But I don’t want to get involved.

I should have gone straight to the Aqua Theater or the Royal Promenade since it was closer. I walk on, taking a video on the way.

When I arrived at the Aqua Theater, there was a show by Saporabi and the others. I feel like cheering for them, thinking that the Horned Rabbits I defeated are doing their best. I hope they do their best and go to heaven.

The gods don’t seem to be interested in the show. A few goddesses are watching Saporabi’s efforts with a smile. It seems that the show hasn’t touched the gods too much. Let’s move on.

When I arrived at the ice rink, the male gods were racing at high speed. …Oh, this is not worth photographing. Next… I don’t need to go to the library. Let’s just walk around and look.

I look into the theater and see that they are watching a movie, not a show. They are watching a famous foreign movie. …Are stories about a magic school interesting in a world where magic is commonplace?

No. I loved them too when I was in Japan and watched them all, but I think I’m failing to make subtle choices. Or is it easier to see the magic connection?

I look around the ship, which is busier than usual. The goddesses seem to be scattered in different places, enjoying shopping and eating. They seem to be enjoying themselves, wanting this or that, or wanting to go back to the spa tomorrow.

I’m glad it’s going so well with the goddesses. Now that I’ve had a quick look around, it’s time to go to the pool. I’m getting excited.
