Chapter 29 – What Should I Do…
I invited Her Majesty the Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom and her entourage aboard the Chris. There were many unexpected things that happened when we boarded the ship, and we were in a state of confusion, so we would like to make up for it at lunch and dinner. Anyway, she was happy with the room I showed her, so I guess things will work out, right?
“I see. So if there’s anything I don’t understand or want to do, I can just ask this Saporabi-chan to do it for me?”
“Yes. If you still have a question you can’t solve, please ask me.”
“I understand.”
I showed them to their rooms and explained everything, but as expected, it was difficult for them to understand a luxury liner full of unknown civilizations, so I decided to summon a dedicated Saporabi for each of them.
…But Saporabi’s charm struck a chord with Her Majesty the Queen and the Princesses.
Her Majesty the Queen is holding hands with Saporabi, and Princess Adalicia and Princess Annemarie are hugging and stroking Saporabi. I feel a little uncomfortable because Saporabi is inside a Horned Rabbit, in other words, the soul of a monster.
Ah, Lea-san asks Saporabi a lot of questions but also takes the opportunity to pat Saporabi on the head.
Hmm? She might have noticed that I was watching her, but she took a little distance from Saporabi. She continues to ask Saporabi questions as if she doesn’t care about me, but her cheeks seem to blush.
I find it fascinating to see a serious-looking adult woman blush, don’t you?
But as in the Castle, Saporabi’s popularity with women is amazing. I wonder if I would have found Saporabi endearing if I hadn’t also slaughtered the Horned Rabbit?
…I felt pretty weird when I imagined myself adoring Saporabi, so there is no need for me to think of Saporabi as adorable. Just having Rimu here is enough for me.
“Well, for now, take a break until lunch.”
I came to a simple conclusion in my mind, so I continued.
We left early in the morning and swam all the way here, beating up monsters along the way. Even mermaids need a rest. Besides, I have a feeling that if Saporabi were here, they would be satisfied.
Well, it will be hard to play with Saporabi when I’m here, so I’ll leave her alone for a while.
“Ines. I’ll summon the Saporabi, and you take them to the other room where Felicia, Alessia-san, and the others are explaining the situation. One Saporabi per room is enough for the soldiers, right?”
I thought, looking at Her Majesty the Queen and the others, that the soldiers would also need the support of the Saporabi.
Well, I made it exclusive for Her Majesty the Queen and her party, but I don’t want to see athletic soldiers idolizing Saporabi if possible, so it should be no problem to have one Saporabi per room.
As for the maids… I’ll have to ask them to put up with it because it’s a problem to differentiate too much between men and women.
“Fine, but what about you, Master?”
“I’m going to the church for a little prayer.”
With that, Ines seemed to understand what I was doing, and without saying a word, she left with the Saporabis I had summoned.
Ines does some reckless things, but she keeps the God-related things straight, which is a big help. As for Claretta-san and the others, they started sobbing, and I felt a bit apologetic.
Now, let’s get in the spirit and go to church. This time, I have to talk about rewards, so I’ll have to do my best. Well, if they don’t call me to the divine realm, that’s the end of it…
＊＊＊
“Wataru-kun, you have been praying a lot lately. Have you finally come to understand my greatness?”
“Wataru-san, it’s been a long time.”
“Wataru, you did a great job!”
When I prayed in the church, I was immediately called. Not only Creator God-sama and God of Light-sama, but also Sea God-sama had gathered there.
“It’s been a long time.
I feel not only greatness, but I feel like I’m losing my gratitude when they call me so easily. I am glad that I can see them whenever I want to see them, but if they are God, shouldn’t they have the option of not meeting with me?
“Wataru-kun, if you understand my greatness, you can invite me to your luxury liner more often, can’t you? Maybe you can show some respect by inviting only me and leaving the other gods behind.”
Creator God-sama seems to be very aggressive this time. He’s the type who doesn’t usually hold back, but I feel like he’s in a strange hurry.
“It’s okay if you ignore him, Wataru-san.”
While I was confused by Creator God-sama, who for some reason kept talking proudly, the God of Light-sama said something terrible. This scares me, but is it really okay?
“God of Light-sama, did something happen?”
“You could say that something happened, but if you say it’s business as usual, then it’s business as usual.”
That doesn’t make sense.
“Creator God-sama told the other gods that they owed him a favor for the last temporary invitation to the Chris. The gods rebelled against that, so he is trying to gain an advantage over the other gods by getting special treatment from you.”
In short, he wants to gain a position with the other gods.
…It’s the silliest reason imaginable, but I guess it’s the quality of Creator God-sama that somehow convinces me. But…
“But it scares me to ignore the Creator God-sama.”
It would be unfashionable if he took away the Ship Summoning.
“Creator God-sama is isolated now and cannot move, so there is no need to worry about him. It would be more dangerous for you to treat Creator God-sama in a special way, so don’t worry about it. You have business with the Sea God, don’t you? I will take care of Creator God-sama, so please finish your business.”
It had not been that long since we last met, but Creator God-sama, who is supposed to be the greatest among the gods, was isolated. I don’t want to understand how that could happen, even though I heard the story.
But, well, I understand that the right thing to do is not to get involved in a roundabout way.
I’m sad that my conversation with the God of Light-sama is over, but I’ll leave her to deal with the Creator God-sama and quickly accomplish my goal and leave.
“Wataru, thank you for what you did for the Mermaid Kingdom.”
When I made eye contact with Sea God-sama, he thanked me. I don’t really feel like I’m being thanked because Sea God-sama always seems so imposing, but being thanked by a god is actually a great thing, isn’t it?
“No, it was an easy thing to do with the Sea God’s sacred treasure, so it’s okay. I was able to visit the Mermaid Kingdom, and it was so much fun.”
I couldn’t help but say it was easy because of Sea God-sama’s dignity, but I feel like I should have said it was hard work to get the reward.
No, the fact that he is here means that he has seen everything that has happened in the Mermaid Kingdom, and it would be detrimental to tell a false story of hardship. Honesty is good.
“Wataru-kun, are you listening to me?”
“Creator God-sama, the Sea God is expressing his gratitude right now, so let’s be quiet for a moment.”
“No, shouldn’t he listen to me first? I am the Creator God, you know?”
“I have heard that the leading role is the last to appear.”
I hear the voices of Creator God-sama and God of Light-sama from the side. I’m afraid of the emotionless voice of the God of Light-sama. Let’s make this quick.
“Um, Sea God-sama. Actually, as a reward for this time, I asked Her Majesty the Queen for a sacred treasure that can turn me into a mermaid…”
“Umu. I am aware of the matter. Well, bring the queen and the two princesses to the church, and I will give you my permission.”
“Huh? I thought it was taboo to interfere in the lower world. Wouldn’t it be okay if I just got permission from Sea God-sama?”
I appreciate that the conversation is so quick, but I’m sure there would be a commotion if they met in person or something. Wouldn’t Her Majesty the Queen’s or anyone else’s heart stop?
“That’s right, Sea God! What are you talking about?”
Oof. Creator God-sama intervened and overcame the God of Light-sama.
“The church of Wataru’s ship is a sanctuary. It’s no problem for them to see me for a few moments, is it?”
“It is a problem, you know! The sanctuary of the ship was originally meant for me to have fun and play! It is only by my grace that you are able to descend! I hope you understand that!”
Creator God-sama is angry, but Sea God-sama is in a man! He looks like an adult male figure, so I can only see a child throwing a tantrum and an adult rebuking him. I feel a little sorry for Creator God-sama.
No, I can’t think of such nonsense. If I don’t support Creator God-sama here, I’m sure to get into trouble. Creator God-sama, please do your best!
I don’t know what I’m saying, but considering the non-interference in the lower world, Creator God-sama must be right.
“Sea God, like I said, I don’t think that’s a good idea. It would cause trouble for you as well.”
The God of Light-sama also came to support Creator God-sama on this matter. I am especially happy that she thinks of me, too. Please marry me.
“Mm… I understand. I’ll stop the descent. Then an oracle. If it were an oracle in a cathedral, it would cause an uproar, but if it were an oracle in the sanctuary of Wataru’s ship and only for the mermaid queen and the princesses, it shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, I will keep the queen and the princesses silent about it.”
Sea God-sama does not give up. When I first met him, I thought he was a sharp god, but I guess first impressions can be surprisingly unreliable.
But I found out when I went to the Mermaid Kingdom that Sea God-sama is very overprotective of the mermaids, so I guess I can understand this situation. It’s annoying, though.
“Mmm… that’s okay, I guess.”
Oh, Creator God-sama will be surprisingly easy to convince. As for the God of Light-sama… I think she will compromise with this one as well.
No, even an oracle can cause considerable problems. No doubt, my stock will skyrocket with the queen and the princesses. I can’t even imagine what would happen if it went any further, even though they are still very grateful to me.
…I want to resist, but the possibility that I won’t be able to get the sacred treasure that can turn me into a mermaid if I offend the Sea God-sama flashes through my mind, and I can’t think of a better way to resist.
I wonder if I really need to go through so much trouble, but since I will be living in a different place from the mermaids, it could be said that I can get the sacred treasure with just a little patience. It is quite a dilemma.
And just for a moment, if my likability with the Queen increases, there is nothing wrong with that, right? The devil in me is nagging me. Please don’t say “nyan-nyan” to that sexy Her Majesty the Queen.
What is “nyan-nyan” anyway? It’s obviously old-fashioned. If you can do nyan-nyan, that’s great, but nyan-nyan with Her Majesty the Queen, when she does nyan-nyan, there’s a fear of responsibility and so on. If she weren’t in the position of Her Majesty the Queen, I would love to ingratiate myself with her and do the nyan-nyan! [T/n: I don’t really know what the context of nyan nyan is here.]
“Umu. It’s settled. Wataru, bring the queen and her two daughters to the church.”
“Eh?”
While I was thinking about nyan-nyan, I went back to the church to do a favor for Sea God-sama. Huh? Bring the queen and her daughters? Did they give the oracle the okay? While I’m fighting nyan-nyan?
…What should I do?
