Chapter 16 – Sea God
Not knowing how to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure, I went to the church on the Chris to ask Creator God-sama how to use it. Although I was able to meet Creator God-sama without any problems, I am a little nervous about the story because it seems to involve mermaids.
“Creator God-sama. The Sea God’s sacred treasure has something to do with mermaids?”
“Correct. Originally, the Sea God gave the treasure to the mermaids. Then, some otherworldly person got a little carried away and took it away from them. That’s the worst, isn’t it?”
Mermaids live in the sea, right? What kind of cheat would allow a person to take away a mermaid’s precious sacred treasure?
Huh? It was Creator God-sama who gave abilities to otherworldly people, wasn’t it? Isn’t it Creator God-sama who is the source of the problem? …Well, I can’t say anything bad about it because I was given the cheat as well.
But still, it was a mermaid’s sacred treasure, wasn’t it? Do I have to return it? If I return it, I’ll be able to make friends with the mermaids, but I’m sad that I won’t be able to protect the Dark Elf Island.
“Creator God-sama. That’s enough.”
I was about to ask a question about the sacred treasure when the God of Light-sama appeared. Creator God-sama himself had said that he would be scolded if he talked too much, but he just answered about the mermaids. I think the God of Light-sama stopped him because he was about to slip up.
But the God of Light-sama is as beautiful as ever. She literally has a glowing beauty, but I can see some shade and fatigue, which means she must still be having a hard time following up with Creator God-sama.
“Sorry to interrupt you, Wataru-san. May I borrow Creator God-sama for a moment?”
“Oh, yes. Take your time.”
I guess my words sounded strange. Well, I put my heart and soul into it, so I’ll give her a break.
“Thank you very much.”
The God of Light-sama, who smiled a little, and the Creator God-sama, who looked a little scared, disappeared before my eyes. But since he didn’t talk much, it wouldn’t be a long sermon.
“Wataru-san. Thank you for waiting.”
As expected, it did not take long for God of Light-sama and Creator God-sama to return. Since Creator God-sama seemed to be sulking a bit, it seems that he was not that restricted.
“No, I didn’t wait at all. So… I’m hoping you can tell me about the sacred treasure I have in my possession, but what should I do? It’s not good to ask too many questions, is it?”
“You are right. It is not a good idea because it would break the rules set by Creator God-sama, but you are already in the divine realm, and many gods are indebted to you. If it’s just a little, the other gods won’t make a fuss.”
I see. So the gods who complain about Creator God-sama’s rule against interfering in the lower realms will lose the invitation to the luxury liner. I wonder if I should invite them to the Chris temporarily since I’ll cause them trouble.
Oh, Creator God-sama is complaining that I wouldn’t have to complain if that were the case. Now that I’ve caused the displeasure, I have to invite them.
“I apologize for the trouble I caused you. If it’s not too much trouble, I would like to treat the gods at Chris as an apology.”
“Ara, we still have some time before our appointment. Is that okay?”
The God of Light-sama looked a little happy. It was not a bad suggestion for the God of Light-sama.
“Yes. If I could apologize for any inconvenience my selfishness might have caused you, that would be very helpful to me.”
The God of Light-sama would probably settle things nicely without my doing anything, but that was why I wanted to help her.
Well, the God of Light-sama has the role of organizing the gods, so there will be more work to do, but I will do my best to cover it with my hospitality.
“The gods are also looking forward to visiting Wataru-san’s ship, so I would appreciate it if you would say so. We’ll work out the details later, but let’s take care of Wataru-san’s business first.”
The gods were having a good time on the Castle, weren’t they? Since the ability was originally given to me by Creator God-sama, I feel like I can handle it with the help of the gods, but I guess it’s not easy because of the various intertwined factors.
“I am here to talk about the Sea God’s sacred treasure; should I return it to the mermaids? I was thinking of using it to protect the Dark Elf Island if possible…”
“Since it was obtained by Wataru-san, there is no request from the gods to return the sacred treasure, etc.”
I would like to say something, but I think it’s correct to say that no request should be made because it would be caught in the rules.
“Then is it possible for us to discuss this often when we meet the mermaids and use the divine treasure of the Sea God-sama in a way that is mutually beneficial?”
“If you would do that, the Sea God would be pleased.”
The God of Light smiled. It seems that the Sea God-sama is also concerned about the mermaid in this situation. Since they live in the sea, the Sea God-sama cannot interfere with the lower world, but I am afraid of offending the Sea God-sama. I originally wanted to get along with the mermaid, so let’s stick to that policy.
“God of Light-sama. Have I ever met the Sea God-sama?”
“Sea God? The Sea God has visited the Castle, so I think you two have met. If I call the Sea God here, the Sea God might ask for a favor regarding mermaids, so I haven’t done so.”
Have we met before? If I don’t remember, it’s probably a male god. I’m not too happy that he’s being called, but it’s easier if he tells me his request first. If I discuss the request with the mermaid, we can come to a mutually satisfactory conclusion.
“If it is inappropriate for me to ask, it is okay for Sea God-sama to tell me about it within the rules. I will do my best to be as good as possible, so could you please call the Sea God-sama?”
I made my request, and the God of Light-sama nodded and disappeared. She must have gone to call the Sea God-sama.
“You don’t have to worry so much about that, but then you do care, don’t you, Wataru-kun? You can be more free, you know?”
Creator God-sama begins to speak the moment the God of Light-sama disappears. He looks as if a weight has been lifted from his face, and it is clear how he feels about the God of Light-sama.
“I am a small man, so I feel more comfortable when I care.”
I wouldn’t mind if I were in a cheat ship and the other party was a human, but I’m too afraid to incur the wrath of a god.
“You have a difficult personality. It would have been interesting if you were a little more forceful.
I feel like I’m being complained about. I guess he’s still bitter that the other gods complained about me because I came to the other world and lived a quiet life.
“That’s a pretty fancy move, isn’t it?”
“Yes. I can now go on a luxury liner, which proves my visionary nature. I’m in trouble now that people respect me even more than they already do.”
…The conversation doesn’t seem to be connected. I’ve never heard of Creator God-sama being respected.
While I was listening to Creator God-sama’s boastful talk, which I don’t understand, God of Light-sama came back with Sea God-sama.
“Wataru-san. This is the Sea God.”
“Umu. I am the Sea God, the Great God of the Sea!”
Oh, I remember this god. He was a member of the hot and boisterous group that drank a lot of alcohol and made me drink a lot of alcohol. To be honest, I avoided them because I was not so good with them, but to think that there was the Sea God-sama in that group…
I would like to keep a reasonable distance from this god while not forgetting to be respectful. To be more precise, I want at least one person in between… No, a god, that is not the same. I would like to have at least one pillar in between.
“Sea God-sama. I am always indebted to the sea. I am sorry for calling you here.”
“No problem. I heard that you obtained the sacred treasure that I gave to the mermaids. How do you plan to use that power?”
I came here because I didn’t know how to use it before I used it, but I guess that’s not what this is about.
“I also hope to be able to protect the Dark Elf Island with the Sea God-sama’s sacred treasure. However, I have heard that the Sea God-sama’s sacred treasure originally belonged to mermaids, so I hope we can discuss it when we meet and come to a mutually acceptable agreement.”
“If so, that’s fine. The mermaids are in trouble, too, so help them out. I’ll give you permission regarding the Sea God’s sacred treasure.”
God is very quick to develop a story. Things are decided quickly and easily. Well, does the permission mean that I can use the Sea God’s sacred treasure now? Creator God-sama seemed distraught, but is that okay?
When I looked at Creator God-sama, he already looked like he had lost interest. It seems to be okay. It is still appropriate, isn’t it?
“Do I need Sea God-sama’s permission to use the sacred treasure? If so, wouldn’t it be useless to have it taken away?”
“Even without permission, you can use it if you turn it by force. The person who stole the sacred treasure was forced to follow it with tremendous magic power. He also added a curse-like effect to make it obey his bloodline. Well, then, the original power of the sacred treasure would not be displayed. Now that I have given you permission, you can use all of its power.”
Was the former Duke an otherworldly person? And what about being able to use all the powers? Should I be happy that the Dark Elf Island will be well-defended? I’d be careful not to overdo it.
“Well, thank you very much. Now, how can I meet the mermaids?”
“If you use the Sea God’s sacred treasure in the sea, they will react to it and come out. But it will take time if the mermaids are not nearby.”
I heard that there are mermaids in the Aquamarine Kingdom. Is that a problem? No, if I use it in the open sea, the mermaids are likely to be attacked by sea monsters, so let’s find a discreet and safe place to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure in the inland sea.
“I also ask you to give the mermaids some advice. Never regret what they’ve lost. I am neither angry nor sad. I will always watch over them with great love.”
A message. Just as the Goddess of the Forest-sama could not speak to the dark elves, the Sea God-sama probably could not speak to the mermaids. It would be against the rules for the voices of the gods to reach the believers, wouldn’t it?
It’s a dubious line for me to communicate, but the God of Light-sama wasn’t offended, and the request of the Goddess of the Forest-sama was fine as well. Is this a gray area? Come to think of it, isn’t giving permission to a sacred treasure a violation of the rules? As long as the God of Light-sama isn’t angry, that’s okay, too, right? I don’t understand the line at all.
“Sea God. If you’re going to ask Wataru-kun for a favor, you have to give him the proper compensation. The Goddess of the Forest and the God of Gastronomy have dates and lap pillows while cleaning his ears, you know.”
“Hmm. Wataru. Shall I give you an ear cleaning and a lap pillow?”
That’s one hell of a killer shot from Creator God-sama’s killer pass. It’s not a reward; it’s a punishment.
“No, it’s enough that you allowed me to use the sacred treasure of the Sea God.”
“Umu. Then I’ll go back. Wataru, let me have another good drink on your ship.”
Sea God-sama is a simple type of person, isn’t he? He left easily. It’s time for me… I also have a meeting with the God of Light-sama. We’ll have to have a serious talk, but it’ll still be a fun time.
