Chapter 7 – I Feel Like I’m Passing Through
Freed from the hellish paperwork, I was so excited that I turned into a fake Italian, praising Alessia-san and the others with my limited vocabulary and even repeatedly sexually harassing Ilma-san and Claretta-san. In Japan, this would be a bad deed that could lead to social annihilation, but somehow, I was allowed to live safely. I think this was the first time I felt kindness from another world.
“Now, what should I do about Alessia-san and the others?”
After a few days of bowing to Alessia-san and the others, I had made amends with everyone else.
I gave Princess Annemarie a new series of magical girls and got Lea-san and the mermaid guards to settle for high-quality alcohol or cosmetics.
I explained to Ines that since I had already given her gold coins, it was fifty-fifty, but she complained that the play was a little too extreme, so I compromised by giving her an extra allowance.
Felicia told me that there was no need to apologize, but since I had caused her trouble as well, I convinced her by increasing the next shipment of goods to the Dark Elf Island.
As for Rimu and Pent, I made up for it by playing with them.
Everyone except Ines was satisfied with my apology, and although they were reluctant to accept the goods, I managed to convince them to accept them after explaining that it would make me feel better.
Princess Annemarie, Lea-san, and the other mermaids were all happy in the end, so I was a little relieved.
But to be honest, it can be hard when everyone except Ines is so nice. I feel terrible that I put these good people through all this trouble.
It’s easier when someone like Ines is straightforward because, in a way, it doesn’t hurt my heart.
All I have to do now is make amends with the members of Girasole, but since they’ve been living on the luxury liner for so long, they’re not so easily swayed by alcohol or cosmetics.
For now, I’m going back to Dark Elf Island while I fulfill Her Majesty the Mermaid Queen’s request, so I want to get this over with before I get there.
After that, I have to talk to Camille-san about the luxury liner’s route, so I’ve got a busy schedule.
Well, what am I supposed to do, seriously?
Carla-san wants delicious food and Claretta-san… I can’t do anything God-related right now, so I’d like to make up for it somehow with something stuffed animal-related, but I sexually harassed Claretta-san, so I feel bad about using a stuffed animal to make up for it.
I really don’t know what to do.
My power is Ship Summoning, so I’m going to see if I can get my hands on an item that will help me make amends.
…..Huh?
What is that? It’s really interesting.
Huh? A yacht that flies? How? It’s not a hovercraft, is it? A hydrofoil? It has a wing underwater? Over 50 kilometers an hour? A yacht?
Wait a minute, the image I have of a yacht is one of elegance, but is that wrong?
When I look more closely, it seems that my image of a yacht is quite old-fashioned and that yachts nowadays can fly.
Wow, I think Alessia-san and the others will be happy about this.
Hmm, there are all sorts of different types of yachts. Of those, the ones that Alessia-san and the others will definitely be happy about are the racing yachts.
There are also types where you have to work together in a group to steer the yacht, but I think those people like to compete, so it’s probably the individual yachts like this one called the Moss Class.
Ah, but it looks like it would be quite difficult to sail, and it would be dangerous if you made a mistake and were thrown outside the barrier.
Also, there is a limit to the number of ships I can summon, so I can only summon a maximum of four… No, there wouldn’t be a problem around the Dark Elf Island, where safety is guaranteed by the divine treasure of the Sea God-sama.
The people in Girasole who might be interested in this yacht are probably Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, and Marina-san?
Ilma-san might be interested in the fact that it’s a flying yacht, and that might be a good way to make amends?
Yeah, I’ll try those four.
And then there’s Carla-san and Claretta-san… as I thought, these two are all that’s left.
Food ships?
But the ferries and luxury liners are the main ones where you can eat, so maybe I should just look at ships from different countries? Oh, how about a Thai ship? I like Thai food.
Hmm?
As I was checking the ships page, I noticed a ship that caught my eye.
A houseboat?
I’m very intrigued. I would love to be in a banquet hall with tatami mats, relaxing on the boat, eating a feast, and drinking alcohol. It would be great if there were fireworks or cherry blossoms outside.
But what about the food itself? Japanese cuisine can be managed to some extent in Japanese restaurants on ferries and luxury liners.
But wait a minute. The food on each houseboat is different. There are a lot of similarities between the basic tempura, kaiseki, and boat-style dishes, but each boat seems to have its own unique selling point.
I like hot pots. Wow, there are even houseboats that have a selection of Japanese sake and shochu? That’s interesting.
No kidding? You can eat monjayaki on a houseboat? Seriously?
It’s true. Seriously, if I buy this houseboat, I can eat all the monjayaki I want. Well, it’s a sales system for the boat, so I have to pay for each dish, but on the other hand, if I pay, I can eat as much monjayaki as I like.
How attractive… Wait a minute. Am I trying to buy a boat so I can eat monjayaki?
What’s wrong with that? Something feels very wrong.
For starters, what’s wrong with trying to buy a yacht to apologize for sexual harassment? Isn’t that beyond compensation?
That’s right. I’m casually trying to buy a boat, but I’m going to end up spending millions or tens of millions.
Even if it’s to apologize to Claretta-san, I thought that if it was a stuffed animal, there would be a lot of stuffed animals sold on luxury liners at certain famous theme parks, but buying a luxury liner as payment for sexual harassment seems crazy.
Yes, a luxury liner is definitely going too far. For Claretta-san, it’s as expected to be related to God.
The Creator God-sama is dangerous, but I’ll get through it somehow and ask the God of Light-sama for help.
And then there’s the yacht and the houseboat… When I think about it, there’s no choice but to buy them… To be honest, I’m also interested in flying yachts, and I want to try the monjayaki.
There were lots of different kinds, like the standard monjayaki or the mentaiko cheese monjayaki, and there was also yakisoba and garlic butter rice. I can eat garlic butter rice at teppanyaki restaurants, but I’m also interested in this.
What should I do? Should I buy a houseboat just for monjayaki?
I don’t have a problem with the money I have.
The charity expenses that will increase with the purchase of the boat can be consumed because the construction of Beastman City is going very well.
Monjayaki… I want to eat it.
Okay, let’s buy it.
I gave in to my desire and decided to buy it. Ah, but it’s easy to see out from a houseboat, and the hull is low. The view would be ruined if I was surrounded by monsters.
I was going to have monjayaki tonight, but I’d like to enjoy the houseboat and the monjayaki, including the view, while I’m at it.
It’s unfortunate, but I’ll have to wait until Dark Elf Island. I’ll have to prepare something for Claretta-san before then.
My heart is heavy, but I think I’ll go to church and pray.
***
“I never thought I wouldn’t be called, even after I prayed…”
Is the Creator God really that angry?
I was prepared to be called to the divine realm and to be complained about when I went to pray, but I didn’t expect to be ignored. The wrath of Creator God-sama might be too fierce. I’m getting really scared.
But it’s not my fault, right? Well, that logic doesn’t work with the Creator God-sama…
“Wataru-san, Wataru-san.”
Ah, it’s the voice of God of Light-sama. I wasn’t called, but it seems I can still receive a divine oracle. As always, her voice is beautiful, but it’s a shame I can’t see her form.
“God of Light-sama, it’s been a while. I haven’t been called to the divine realm, but is Creator God-sama in such a bad mood?”
“No, there’s no need to worry because Creator God-sama doesn’t have time to be in a bad mood.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
It seems different from what I thought. I’ll ask her more about it.
To sum up the explanation given by the God of Light-sama, it was very simple.
Because of the contract with the world, Creator God-sama now has a lot of time to work. Seeing this as an opportunity, the gods threw work at Creator God-sama.
Of course, they weren’t trying to force their work on the Creator God-sama, but it was work that needed the Creator God-sama’s power, but the Creator God-sama’s attitude and relationship with them was bad, so it was work that had been left to rot.
To put it simply, the world would still spin even if they weren’t done, but they were the kind of jobs that would be more efficient if they were done.
Until now, they hadn’t even been suggested to the Creator God-sama because of that, but now the Creator God-sama couldn’t refuse if there was a good reason.
Once they realized that it would be good for the world and also a form of revenge against the Creator God-sama, the gods who had been oppressed before couldn’t stay silent, and even the gods who usually cut off all contact with the Creator God-sama are jumping out to help and increase the workload.
It’s the Creator God-sama’s own fault, but as someone who was in a similar situation until recently, I can’t help but feel sorry for him.
Most of all, I’m afraid of Creator God-sama’s outbursts.
Even a quiet and weak-willed me has made mistakes. If Creator God-sama becomes like me… at worst, the planet could be destroyed.
“Um, God of Light-sama. Please give Creator God-sama some time off, too. If you tell me in advance, I’ll treat him to a luxury liner.”
“You’re very kind, Wataru-san. I understand. I’ll suggest a vacation at the appropriate time.”
No, it was for self-defense, not out of kindness. But since the God of Light-sama seems pleased, I’ll keep my mouth shut.
“So, Wataru-san, is there something you need?”
Oh, that’s right. I’ve forgotten my original purpose. I’ll ask her anyway.
“I see. As I said, we gods are forbidden to interfere in the affairs of mortals.”
Yes, I remember because I accidentally received a letter and made a big fuss. But I have my own ideas.
“Yes, I understand that. But I thought it would be possible for this church to give blessings to things. Of course, in return, I will do my best to serve the God of Light-sama!”
Since it was possible to receive a blessing, albeit a very small one, my expectation is that it is possible to receive a small blessing from the God of Light-sama for an object.
“Well, it’s not impossible. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask a god to clean up your own mess, do you?”
“Eh? …Ah, could it be that you know about my embarrassing past?”
“Of course. The God of Entertainment was very happy to spread the word.”
That’s right. I’m a person who is well-known to the gods. If I make such a fuss, they’ll check up on me, right? I’m so embarrassed, I think I’ll die.
“Fuh, well, I’m sure I’ll need your help in the future, Wataru-san. I can’t give you a blessing that will affect the lower world, but I’ll give you a blessing anyway.”
“Th-Thank you. If you don’t mind, I’d like this, please.”
Perhaps taking pity on me as I was about to die in agony, the God of Light-sama gave me the OK.
I’ve prepared the right thing to receive the blessing. It’s the blessing of the God of Light-sama, so it has to be a diamond. I’ve chosen a simple necklace to match the modest Claretta-san, so I’m sure she’ll be pleased.
Well, for now, the apologies have been extended to everyone. The only question now is whether they will be satisfied.
