CH 60.2

As expected, god was hesitant—

—Not on my watch.

Did he think I’d back down?

After all, hadn’t I just led a gentleman—namely him—to a dance?

“Is it no good? From what I heard, it seems that the work of a god is more cumbersome than that of a queen, so why don’t you become a human? It isn’t like you’re suitable to be a god, anyway. How is it? It’s the perfect solution, isn’t it?”

“No, no, no, no! I’m suitable for this job, if I do say so myself! But as for falling in love with me (boku)—”

“Oh, my, did god just refer to himself as “I” (boku)? You’re so cute… It suits you! When you spoke so reverently, I always wondered what kind of person you truly were!”

“Like I said, I was a god!”

As he reluctantly danced with me, the god spat those words.

Fufu, in past tense?

That trivial phrase made me so happy. Although, he himself might not be aware of that. Nevertheless, his steps became messy.

“Ugh, enough! Until the end, you just do whatever suit your fancy! What kind of villainess are you!?”

“Fufu, I’m honored to be praised.”

“As I’ve said countless times, I’m not praising you!”

After taking a deep breath, god exhaled slowly. We had finished dancing. Then, he roughly scratched his head while glaring at me.

“…You won’t regret it?”

“Regret what?”

“If I were to meet you again after being reborn, you won’t say something like, ‘Oh, you really came? I only said that as a joke.’”

“Oh, wow, you’re good at mimicking voices. Well, while that’s a great idea, please don’t worry. I can’t promise I won’t complain if you’re late, though.”

If we were going to fall in love with each other, it’d be better to start when we were both young. Although falling in love with each other after we matured sounded like a fine idea, I was inexperienced with romance. Therefore, I wanted to start with the basics.

Besides, I wasn’t going to throw away the bet I’d wagered my life on.

When I hid my smile with my hand, god nodded after slowly sighing once again.

“Haa… Fine, I got it.”

Then, he spoke while pretending to be in contemplation.

“There’re so many things to process, so it’ll be difficult to reunite with you after you’re reborn right away. But… I’ll come for you as soon as possible. As such, can you please wait for me?”

“…Is that truly alright?”

“What is…?”

“Are you truly in love with me?”

…I mean, my personality is not exactly agreeable.

To be honest, even if I was reborn, I doubted that I could become a pure and upright person.

When I anxiously asked him, god looked unusually happy.

With tears in his eyes, he smiled wryly.

“I’ll grant your wish—didn’t I promise you that? Besides… no, never mind. Then, until we meet again.”

“What? After everything we went through, you still dare to keep a secret from me? I thought we’re close!”

“This entire conversation happened because of you, okay!? No matter how close we are, it’s just impossible!”

“Huu… That’s just saddening, I’m going to cry…”

As I pretended to cry, god extended his hand to me. Although his fingers were white and slender, they had firm knots. When I hesitated about what to do, god made me take his hand.

“Now that it has come to this, I’ll have to go, soon. Because of you, I’ve become busy.”

“…I’m not a patient person, you hear me?”

“Alright, okay, I’ll do my best…”

Then, we soared high and passed through the ceiling. His Highness and the others disappeared entirely. The starry sky was brighter than usual, I couldn’t see the ground beneath me.

Thus, I looked up.

“Hey, god.”

“Hmm?”

“What’s your real name?”

“Well, it’s ‘Nameless’?”

“Eeh~…”

“…Alright, I’ll tell you—”

Until the last minute, I had many conversations with god.

After all, until the next time we met again, it’d be goodbye.

So, goodbye—

—those I loved, who watched over me…

…Thanks to you, I had a very enjoyable time.

Thus, until the day we meet again, my best wishes for you.
