Chapter 18 – Everything is for Creator God-sama
Princess Annemarie showed me the finished plan of the mermaid village. The village was so colorful and fantastic that I wondered if I had made a mistake in purchasing the building materials, but since the plan used mermaid technology with coral, I was very excited to see it completed.
“What are you going to do now, Master? Do you want to relax for a while?”
“Hmm, what shall we do?”
I thought about helping with the construction of the mermaid village, but to be honest, we and Alessia-san and the others were just slowing them down, and there was nothing to do.
We thought we had gotten used to swimming as mermaids, but we were still too inexperienced to work with real mermaids in the construction process.
The event to invite the dark elf villagers to the Chris depends on Felicia’s meeting, but from the looks of things, it will probably be about ten days away.
That would give us a lot of free time. Maybe we should visit the village of Hot Springs? It would be good to fill up the rubber boats with lots of hot spring water, and that would also please the God of Light-sama.
Hmm? God of Light-sama? …I remember that I promised to invite Creator God-sama especially.
I didn’t promise when, but this event must be bad if I don’t digest it as soon as possible, don’t you think?
A luxury liner chartered just for Creator God-sama. Maybe he is looking forward to it after bragging about it to the other gods.
If the other gods make fun of him, he will be forgotten by the other gods. If the other gods make fun of him, I am sure that Creator God-sama will be angry.
I promised to invite him especially, so I was thinking about what special plans to make, but I got distracted by the mermaid village and left it unattended…
I feel like I have to hurry!
“Oh, Ines. I may have some urgent business, so I’ll go to church for a while. Also, tell Princess Annemarie that I may have to move their quarters.
Because the mermaids are currently living on the Chris, if I invited Creator God-sama to come on board, there would have to be a panic.
“Move? Why?”
“Well, because I’m inviting a very, very, very important person.”
I don’t mind saying “Creator God-sama,” but I’m afraid that if I say it directly, it might cause trouble.
“Oh, I see. I’ll let them know. If we’re going to travel, it will be by ferry, right?”
Ines, who had been looking at me strangely, seemed to understand everything with my roundabout way of speaking.
“Yes. Ines can explain about the ships, the Fortress or the Stronghold, whichever you prefer.”
“Roger that.”
Well, this is manageable now. Now, all I have to do is pray at the church and ask the Creator God-sama for a suitable date and time. For now, let’s get on with it.
“Ara, Wataru-san. It is unusual for you to be at the church at this time. Is something wrong?”
“Claretta, that’s no good. Don’t call him Wataru-san, call him Wataru. You should do it properly.”
When I arrived at the church, Claretta-san approached me while she was cleaning. Even though she knows that the power of the Ship Summoning will clean the church, I still bow down to her desire to clean it properly and make the church beautiful.
Also, good job to Carla-san for helping her. Well, although she is responding to Claretta-san, who is calling me with a suffix.
I thought Carla-san was relaxed and only interested in delicious food, but for some reason, she is very strict about the way she calls me. I have been warned by her several times. Well, it’s nice to be called that by Carla-san.
“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, Carla. So, um, Wataru, what’s wrong?”
I still smiled at Claretta-san, who was a little embarrassed as usual, and Carla-san, who nodded her head satisfactorily beside her, was cute, too.
“I’m sorry to bother you while you’re cleaning up. Do you mind if you leave me alone for a while in the middle of cleaning?”
“Ara, in that case, we won’t bother you. We will wait outside, so please take your time and pray.”
I guess she immediately understood what I wanted to do because she took Carla-san and left the church with her.
I appreciate that, but waiting outside isn’t exactly… clearly explained. But I’m almost sure she knows what’s going on.
That’s why she wants to be as close to the church as possible, to be connected to the divine realm as much as possible.
…Even though I’m grateful for that, I’m not sure that I, who lack a shred of faith, would meet God and that Claretta-san, who cares about God from the bottom of her heart, would be ready.
…It’s hard to entertain alone, and I wonder if I could at least ask her to join me as a supporting member.
It seems that they refuse to have anything to do with people, but there is also the matter of Sea God-sama, even if she is only an oracle, and I think I can manage if I say that it is to entertain Creator God-sama to the best of my ability.
Well, I can’t do anything about that unless I pray to him and ask him to call me to the divine realm.
But I don’t think that Creator God-sama would miss his own fun, so I’m almost sure that he would call me.
Thinking that it would be rude to think about it, I kneel down in front of the statue of Creator God-sama and close my eyes.
“Welcome, Wataru-kun.”
As expected, I wonder if this is the right thing to do. I just kneeled down and closed my eyes, but I didn’t even pray.
“Creator God-sama. Thank you for calling me.
Lately, being called to the divine realm seems like a normal thing, but I should remember that it is a very special thing.
Otherwise, I might get carried away and be disrespectful.
“No, that’s fine. So is that it? Is that why you prayed, because you wanted to invite me? When? Oh no, I’ve been bragging about all sorts of things while telling them about the Sea God’s foolishness, but I haven’t heard from you very often, so I’ve been waiting for you.”
Creator God-sama’s face is very excited. He must have been looking forward to this.
Let’s pretend I didn’t hear the string of words after Sea God-sama. The God of Light-sama next to Creator God-sama is holding her forehead with her hand, so it probably wouldn’t be a good thing.
I had been aware of this for some time, but I knew that when I met with Creator God-sama, the God of Light-sama was always with him as a stopper to prevent him from forcing his unreasonable demands on me. Somehow, I might want to give the God of Light-sama a special treat as well.
…Yes. I’ve been wanting to talk to the God of Gastronomy-sama about this anyway, so why not use this situation to get the God of Light-sama to change her mind? She seems to get along well with the Goddess of the Forest-sama, so a girl’s party, or rather a goddess party, for a change? She might like that.
“I am sorry to keep you waiting. I prayed for you because I wanted to discuss this matter with you.”
Actually, I was called before I prayed.
“Consultation? Aren’t you confirming the date and time of the invitation?”
“No, that’s right. If it is just an invitation, it depends on the convenience of Creator God-sama, but it is possible to invite you tomorrow.”
The Ship Summoning ship can be cleaned with a reminder, so there is no need to even take the time to clean it. In the worst case, that would be fine, but I think it’s weak to say that it’s special because it’s reserved for only one Creator God-sama.
In any case, if I have to make him happy, I want to make sure. If people think that being alone is unexpectedly boring, that could be a problem in the future.
“What do you mean?”
Creator God-sama tilts his head. It seems that he does not understand what I am asking him.
“In order to repay Creator God-sama as much as possible, I asked Creator God-sama to descend to Chris.”
“Yes. Right. So I accepted the invitation. Is there a problem?”
“There’s no problem, but I was wondering if it’s not the same as just enjoying the facilities on Chris or if there’s something more you can do.”
It’s true that I gave it a lot of thought, but don’t tell anyone that my plan was quickly solidified when I saw the God of Light-sama looking so tired.
“I see; it’s wonderful that you are willing to do everything in your power to honor your Creator God-sama. Well, I think it’s a bit of a mistake to ask the person you’re inviting for advice, but I’m a generous guy, so I’ll listen to what you have to say.”
…Creator God-sama is such a big guy, so it’s not surprising that there are a lot of gods and believers who would lift me up without me doing much… I’m not sure how easy it is to put him in a good mood…
Let’s not think any further.
“Thank you. So, before I invite the Creator God-sama, I’ve come to ask the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama to help me for a few days and to ask if I can bring some additional personnel to help me.”
The only thing that was quietly decided was that I would borrow the help of the God of Gastronomy-sama.
“Hmm? What do you mean? Why do you need the power of the God of Light?”
“I am nothing more than an ordinary person, even though I have received the power of Creator God-sama. In that case, I thought it would be better for Creator God-sama to have fun if I could borrow the wisdom of the Gods who know the most about Creator God-sama and entertain you in the best way possible.”
“Ah, I see. It is true that there are limits to what you can do on your own, isn’t it? I’ll lend you the God of Light. If it is for my benefit, she will spare no effort. Right, God of Light?”
As expected, Creator God-sama readily agreed with a big smile on his face. I think he especially liked the part about the God of Light-sama acting on his behalf.
“But I can’t leave Creator God-sama alone…”
The God of Light-sama is in trouble. As she says, she is worried about taking her eyes off Creator God-sama. But please don’t worry.
My brain is spinning incredibly fast to entertain the beautiful goddesses in the name of preparation. I can easily keep Creator God-sama docile during the preparation period.
“I am borrowing the power of God of Light-sama, so if there is a problem in the divine realm, I will be punished as well. Specifically, I can only refrain from taking luxury liners for a certain period of time, and the invitation to Creator God-sama will be postponed for a long time, but I hope you will forgive me for being a powerless human being.”
“No, isn’t that strange? First of all, you can’t postpone my invitation, can you? Besides, even if I take responsibility, isn’t it too easy to give up the luxury liner? It’s just in case something goes wrong in the divine realm, right?”
I think it’s too easy, but I’m the kind of person who wants to get out of responsibility. Besides, I don’t think this is enough, so I won’t take on any more burdens.
“I hope you will forgive me for being a powerless person. Well, I am just optimistic that even if the Goddesses are not here, Creator God-sama is in the divine world, so there can be no problems.
“Hmm, well, I am sure there will be no problems if I am here, but huh? Would that be okay? …Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it? You can rest assured that I will be here while the God of Light is away.”
“Thank you. Is that okay with the God of Light-sama?”
“Yes. If Creator God-sama is willing to do his best, I am willing to cooperate with you.”
As expected, the God of Light-sama was on board. My profiling of Creator God-sama was correct.
Well, my profiling was an exaggeration; I just expected that he was the kind of person who would solve troublesome problems with his abundant power, that the divine realm would run smoothly as long as Creator God-sama did not cause problems, and that Creator God-sama would never miss an opportunity to gain his position with the other gods.
But the fact that the God of Light-sama nodded her head without any problem meant that my prediction was not wrong.
Well, there was no problem now. I will do my best to entertain the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama!
Hmm? I feel like my purpose has changed a bit… Well, it’s true that I will do my best to entertain Creator God-sama, so it won’t be a problem.
It’s just that in between the preparation work, I just want the goddesses who are helping me to heal their fatigue, and it’s necessary because I don’t know if Creator God-sama will be pleased if I don’t let them experience it.
It is all for the sake of Creator God-sama. This is important.
