Chapter 2442 - Spreading Aftermath ㉞
Sanctuary, God Realm…… More specifically, a small floating island created by Shallow Vernal located just near it. On this island, where later she would go on a hot spring date with Kaito and had even built the entire hot spring town, Shallow Vernal was making detailed adjustments.
Though it was described as a small island, it was large enough to fit a whole hot spring town, so creating it with care would naturally take some time. This time, Shallow Vernal was in the middle of copying a hot spring town from Makina’s world and then adjusting it to fit Trinia’s culture.
[Hmmm, if we’re going for a Trinia-style, maybe the buildings could be bricks. The image of the buildings is pretty important, so as it stands, it feels a bit too Japanese.]
[I see…… However, we still want to leave enough of the original look so that Kaito-san can recognize it as a hot spring town at first glance.]
[For example, what if we extended that river over here and built a bridge?]
[That’s not bad, but if we put a bridge there, the view from it wouldn’t be great. Should we adjust the height……?]
Hearing Makina’s words as she sought advice, Shallow Vernal flicked her fingers lightly, altering the terrain of the hot spring town.
For both Shallow Vernal and Makina, they could truly reshape the terrain and environmental conditions as they pleased, giving them many options, but that also made it hard for them to settle on a single direction.
[……By the way, you mentioned that Otherworld Gods will come to see my beloved child, right? I suppose Electrone is an exception, but who’s next?]
[The God known as Bipolar God is scheduled to visit next.]
[Ugh, that insanely powerful god…… By the way, has the order after that been decided?]
[Originally it would be Virtual God, but she’s already been granted free visitation, so after that, I don’t know. It seems the other Otherworld Gods have various arrangements among themselves, but I don’t know the details. The order could also change depending on my or Kaito-san’s intentions.]
[……Fumu.]
Hearing Shallow Vernal’s indifferent explanation, Makina looked thoughtful for a moment.
[……Shallow Vernal, I’m consulting with you like this, but as payment, there’s a God I’d like to come a bit earlier. Could you adjust the order for me……? Ah, of course, she can be after Bipolar God.]
[That’s fine, but that’s a bit unexpected. I assumed you’d ask to use the completed hot spring town for going with Kaito-san…… I would have refused that though.]
[I don’t particularly need that. If I want to go on a hot spring trip with my beloved child, I can always go to the real deal anyway.]
[………………]
Watching Makina speak with such confidence, Shallow Vernal wondered “Why does she assume Kaito-san would agree to a hot spring trip?”, but she didn’t feel like asking and just let it slide.
[So, who is this God?]
[Polar Star God, “Astraea Tryst Meteor”…… well, an obnoxiously cheeky midget of a God. Lacks any sense, but seems to have enough common sense to appreciate how wonderful my beloved child is, so I thought I’d show off my beloved child a bit.]
[You’re close with her?]
[Not at all! No sense, bad taste, and just the other day, when I showed her a movie I made of my beloved child, she cried, but then she had the nerve to say something like “For the likes of you, it seems you’ve managed to make something somewhat decent”, a sore loser’s bluff is what it is! It’s totally not because she was feeling down because her turn to see my beloved child was still a long way off, okay!!!]
[……I see.]
Shallow Vernal swallowed the words “So basically, you are close?”, and simply nodded. Saying it aloud would probably provoke a troublesome reaction, which would waste time and delay the hot spring town adjustments.
[Changing the order is fine. Once Bipolar God has visited, tell her to call out to me. In return, you’ll be helping me out with various things until the hot spring town is completed.]
[Yeah, yeah. Well, if my beloved child is going on a trip, I want it to be a good place, so I’ll cooperate properly.]
[……Even so, you’ve started speaking in a much more casual tone than before.]
[I’ve gotten used to you by now. Rather, the way we are before is more on you. It’s just that Shallow Vernal speaks too indifferently, so our exchanges naturally ended up sounding very formal.]
Since Makina now had two terminals constantly active in this world and had conversed with Shallow Vernal many times, she had begun to understand how to interact with her, and her speech had become more casual than before.
At the very least, with Shallow Vernal having grown under Kaito’s influence, she had this sense of reassurance that she wouldn’t irrationally use Epilogue against anyone.
[……By the way, what will you do with this hot spring town after the trip with my beloved child?]
[Fumu…… guess I’ll just pass it to Lilia.]
[Ah, that’s nice. Could be used for tourism and stuff, so if you drop the whole island somewhere in Symphonia Kingdom as a gift, it won’t go to waste.]
While the World Creators converse as if it were an ordinary casual chat…… Just like that, in a place completely unrelated to the Ritch Barony that had recently stirred up the Human Realm, to the Sharon County, to the rapidly-rising Archlesia Empire, or to the maneuvers of various trading companies…… It was decided that an immense stomachache was about to rain down on Lilia.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [No matter the occasion, the strongest would always be the strongest…… The Ultimate Stomachache Warrior is on a whole different level. With no context or reason whatsoever, an absolutely ridiculous top-class stomachache flag just got planted in the most outrageous place……]
