Chapter 103: Tales of the Gods 5 - The Adventure God Dorantos Tales of the Gods 5 – The Adventure God Dorantos
* * *
“Don’t give me that ‘isn’t that right, Adventure God’ crap!!”
This was the realm of the gods.
The Adventure God Dorantos, sporting a brown beard around his mouth, furiously struck the framed device projecting images from the lower world!
WHACK!
The force of his blow caused his divine domain – a recreation of the office chamber from when he had served as the inaugural commander of the Adventurer’s Guild ages ago – to tremble violently.
“Hey! Dorantos! Keep it down over there!!”
“Ah, s-sorry about that!”
It seemed the noise had carried over to the neighboring divine realm.
Poking her head into Dorantos’s domain was his neighbor – the Language God Bamapama, who scolded him angrily.
Dorantos profusely apologized.
While he had become a god nearly a millennium ago to oversee adventurers, he was still a lowly lesser deity.
The Language God, taking the form of a bespectacled blue-haired young girl, was a vastly senior god with tens of thousands of years of experience despite her childlike appearance.
There Dorantos remained, repeatedly bowing his head like a scolded child until the Language God finally grew bored with her lecture and departed his domain (not before pilfering quite a few of his snacks).
......Right then.
Confirming the Language God’s departure, Dorantos turned his attention back to the projecting frame to resume observing the events unfolding.
The image displayed was supposed to be of the reincarnator Mitran he had blessed, taking his first step toward becoming an adventurer.......
But that did not come to pass!
Instead, some youth named Kamasse had unexpectedly appeared at the Adventurer’s Guild, putting forth extremely sensible arguments to escort Mitran back to his parents!
(I never anticipated this development!?)
Dorantos held his head in exasperation.
Prior to reincarnating Mitran, he had conducted a “destiny confirmation” to foresee the life Mitran would lead.
According to that predetermined destiny, Mitran was supposed to depart his rural village on this very day, register as an adventurer, and take his first step toward greatness.
(But that brat Kamasse interfered!)
Flipping through a small notebook, Dorantos referenced Mitran’s “destiny log” – a concise record of the confirmed destiny he had examined beforehand.
(......Hmm, Kamasse isn’t a complete anomaly though, is he......?)
As the “destiny log” revealed, even in Mitran’s original destiny, he was fated to encounter Kamasse at the Adventurer’s Guild’s Sondor branch office on this day.
(However....... Kamasse’s behavior toward Mitran deviated far too greatly from what was projected......)
In the pre-verification, the Kamasse who met Mitran was supposed to become arrogant from his own prowess, declaring “This is a trial for adventurer registration!” before pointing his blade at Mitran.
In simple terms, an unpleasant sort.
Whereupon Mitran would retaliate and thoroughly thrash him.
“Neeee, Dorantos! Those snacks from earlier were super delicious, y’know? I want more! Gimme, gimme!”
Saying that, the bespectacled blue-haired little goddess began wandering around the contemplative Dorantos lounging in his chair.
“Hmph, ignoring me huh? Deep in thought? Pfft! Fine then. I’ll just help myself!”
With those words, she began rummaging through the cupboards in his divine domain.
“Ah? None here? Where’d you hide the snacks?”
Pulling items out of the cupboards, she left them scattered about haphazardly.
“Neeee, where are they? Where’d you hide the snacks? Tell me tell me tell meee!”
She shook Dorantos’s chair vigorously, trying to force the location out of him.
“......GODDAMMIT!!! SHUT YOUR FLAPTRAP YOU DIMWITTED BRAT!!! CAN’T YOU SEE I’M LOST IN THOUGHT HERE?!?!”
Finally snapping, Dorantos roared furiously at the little goddess!
“WHA—!? HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO YOUR VASTLY SUPERIOR ELDER THAT WAY, YOU LITTLE PUNK?!?!”
And the little goddess raged back in turn!
Being hotheaded by nature, she instantly resorted to violence!
Her tiny right fist struck Dorantos’s left cheek the next instant, moving faster than the sound it produced could follow!
As a vastly senior god, her strength far outmatched Dorantos!
Irrationally struck, Dorantos was sent hurtling away, smashing straight through the walls of his divine domain before disappearing off into the distant unknown!
“......Ah! There are the snacks!”
Amid the rubble of the destroyed wall lay an unopened cupboard that had also been demolished, from which the sought-after treats came spilling out.
Beaming happily, the little goddess scooped them up before skipping back to her own divine realm, snacks in hand.
Author’s note: Hooray for finding her treats, Bamapama!
And so—
Thanks to his growth from encountering Emi, Kamasse managed to escape his predetermined role as an “arrogant elitist whipping boy” and extend his destiny toward the future.
This concludes Arc 6.
