Chapter 11 – It’s Not a Campaign Car…
We decided to have a tempura party to welcome the Queen and Princess Adalicia back. I also had the ulterior motive of trying out the new magic shell knife I’d just bought and cooking with Claretta-san, but we had a really fun time together. In the end, however, Ines and Felicia delivered some ominous words to me.
“Your Majesty, we’ve kept you waiting. You said you wanted to ask me something?”
I don’t really want to hear it, but I’m afraid of neglecting matters concerning the gods. However, Sea God-sama just seems to be overprotective, so it’s a bit of a relief that there doesn’t seem to be any malicious intent.
I just hope that he doesn’t ask me to go and rescue some mermaid that’s struggling in the distant ocean.
“Yes. I think since it’s a church, suspicious people can’t come near… but when I was praying to Sea God-sama, I heard a voice that sounded like it was getting really excited, and after that, I heard a voice that sounded like a boy’s voice calling me over and over again.”
Ah, that’s not Sea God-sama’s case; that’s the case of the Creator God-sama. Things are going badly.
I want to ignore it, but if I ignore it, I’ll definitely be in trouble later.
There is a contract with the world, but the fact that he called me means that it must be something that doesn’t violate that contract. I guess I have no choice but to go.
“I understand. Please don’t worry.”
“I’m glad to hear that. But when it comes to a mysterious being summoning Wataru-sama…”
Her Majesty the Queen stutters her words and looks at me with beautiful, powerful eyes.
I know what she means. That’s right, that boyish voice is Creator God-sama. I don’t want to say it, or rather, I can’t say it.
I can’t help but hesitate to tell the people of this world that Creator God-sama is a boyish, fussy boy. I think it would make people happier to believe that the Creator God-sama is a great, perfect being.
“It is better not to think about it too deeply. Your Majesty the Queen and Princess Adalicia and all the mermaids are being watched over by the Sea God-sama. Isn’t that enough?”
“T-That’s right. That’s enough, isn’t it?”
It’s really refreshing and romantic to see a beautiful, mature woman nodding like a little girl.
And mature women are very wise.
Even though children know it’s better not to touch them, it’s hard to suppress the desire to know more. In fact, Princess Adalicia seems a little interested and fidgets a little. She is still a child.
“Well, I have some business to attend to, so I’ll leave you to it. Oh, for tonight’s meal, Claretta-san and I have prepared a dish of seafood we obtained in the Mermaid Kingdom, cooked using land-based methods. I’m a little proud of it, and I think it will be delicious, so please look forward to it.”
Strictly speaking, it’s a Japanese cooking method, but Japan is also land-based.
“Well, I’m looking forward to it. Until then, I’ll rest in my room.”
“Yes, I’ll come get you when it’s time, so please relax.”
I said goodbye to Her Majesty and went to the church.
Huh? Depending on what Creator God-sama says, there is a possibility that I won’t be able to attend the dinner… No, I’ve never been detained for a long time in the divine realm, so there’s at least time for me to prepare the food, right?
But what kind of business is this? A request that goes through Her Majesty… I can’t help but have a bad feeling.
I wanted to ask God of the Fields-sama to join us, but it looks like there’s no time for that.
I arrived at the church and knelt before the statue of God to pray.
“Wataru-kun, you should pray more often!”
The moment I prayed, I heard Creator God-sama complaining. I didn’t pray because I didn’t want to interfere with Creator God-sama, who was always working, but maybe I neglected him a little too much.
“I am sorry. Well, it seems like something urgent, but is something wrong?”
Since the God of Light-sama is around, it’s unlikely that Creator God-sama would break the contract and be unreasonable.
Even though the God of Light-sama doesn’t shine as brightly as she did when she made the black contract with Creator God-sama, she still shines brighter than when we first met. I think she’s able to work in a less stressful environment.
I’m glad that the God of Light-sama seems happy.
“That’s right. Wataru-kun, since it’s you, it’s time to think about inviting us gods on the luxury liner, right?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s right. I’m inviting the Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom to the ship now, so I thought I’d do it after that.”
It’s a little scary that my behavior is being analyzed.
“I know. It’s not important, but please invite us in three days. Definitely.”
“Huh? You haven’t made such detailed plans yet, have you?”
There are things to do in the Aquamarine Kingdom, and with the Queen and the others, I don’t want to be so busy in three days. I want a more relaxed life.
“It is your fault, Wataru-kun. Because of you, I only get one day off every ten days. That’s why I tried to tell you to schedule the invitation day to coincide with my day off, but you never pray!”
Oh, so he wanted to tell me the date in advance because he didn’t want me to be unable to invite him because our days off didn’t coincide?
I was worried about something, but it was just a trivial thing. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about being burdened with annoying things, but I wish he wouldn’t make such a big fuss over such a trivial matter.
“After work, I’m going to go on a luxury liner and stay overnight, and the next day, I’m going to have a great time!”
Creator God-sama makes plans like a hard-working office worker going on a trip on a Friday night.
“God of Light-sama, Creator God-sama, was bound by various contracts, wasn’t he? First of all, it’s not okay to interfere with the world below, but he’s giving the oracle to Her Majesty the Queen, so is everything okay?”
If possible, I want his vacation ruined because of a breach of contract. [T/n: LMAO.]
Creator God-sama will definitely release his stress with all his might. It’s definitely going to be tough.
If the oracle wasn’t such a big deal, it would definitely have interfered with Creator God-sama’s day off.
“Actually, Creator God-sama didn’t give an oracle.
The God of Light-sama tells me with a worried look on his face.
“What do you mean? The Queen actually hears the voice of Creator God-sama, doesn’t she?”
There is a contradiction.
“The Sea God listened to the prayers of the Mermaid Queen.”
“That’s right. I thought that since the Queen was praying, Sea God-sama must have heard her.”
“In other words, Creator God-sama broke the connection between the lower world and the divine world and made a great fuss while releasing an excess of divine power. The voice happened to reach the lower world through the path that the Sea God had connected, and that’s how it happened.”
I see, so it’s like a campaign car driving by while you’re talking on the phone. This voice even reaches the person you’re talking to.
“Is that even possible?”
“I’m sure that’s what Creator God-sama wanted, but unfortunately, it’s not against the rules. In the first place, it’s not something that was ever expected to happen…”
This is the divine realm, so I don’t think there’s any need for such punishment, or rather, I don’t want to think about it.
The Creator God-sama, who doesn’t hesitate to poke holes in things like that… it’s terribly sad for someone living in this world.
“I understand. In short, I just need to invite everyone in three days, right?”
“That’s right. See you then!”
At the same time as these words, my consciousness returned to the church.
“Hah.”
I couldn’t help but sigh, but I’ll try to think positively. I had expected the Creator God-sama, who was forced to sign the Black Contract, to be even harsher. This should be easy.
I definitely won’t let my guard down.
Because of Creator God-sama’s personality, there is no way he would be satisfied with this level of work. In other words, there are more bombs left.
The time to detonate these bombs will definitely be at the next invitation.
I kneel down in front of the god statue again and pray to the God of Light-sama.
“Wataru-kun, is there anything you need?”
This time, I am connected to Creator God-sama without being summoned to the divine realm.
“Um, I have something to ask the God of Light-sama, but can I talk to her instead?”
“There is no need to switch. I’ll relay your message to the God of Light.”
…I had planned to ask the God of Fields-sama to be my guest, but it seems that wish will not be granted.
This is not a coincidence; this is the Creator God-sama. I think Creator God-sama is setting up a net to protect against my futile attempts.
There is no way I can connect with the God of Light-sama.
“Well, I always appoint staff, so I wanted to ask if there is anything I should prepare or which luxury liner would be best.”
“I see. I don’t think you need to prepare anything in particular. Besides, I think the Chateau is fine.”
“I understand. Then… in three days.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it. See you then.”
The connection was broken. The invitation for God of the Fields-sama is hopeless. He’ll definitely do something. God of Light-sama, please take some kind of countermeasure.

“Master, you look pale. Is something wrong?”
It seems that Ines and Felicia were waiting for me in front of the church, worried about me. Normally, I’m grateful for that.
“I had a little problem, but it’s nothing to worry about.”
“Oh, I think I understand. Master, hang in there.”
“Master, we’ll do our best to cure your fatigue, so please hang in there.”
I’ve been complaining to Ines and Felicia about various things, so they seemed to understand the situation somehow, even though I was only mumbling.
But Felicia’s words always cheered me up.
If I was really tired, Felicia and Ines would pamper me with all their might, just as they said.
Felicia, in particular, has been taking care of me faithfully every day, but when it comes to special words like this, she does things she’s usually too shy to do, so I’m really motivated.
I’ll resist the Creator God-sama with all my might and let Ines and Felicia heal me with all their might.
“Thank you. Then I’ll ask you to do that. Well, I won’t be tired until three days later, so let’s do our best to entertain Her Majesty and the others first. I’m sorry, but I’m going to finish the preparations on the houseboat, so can you two go and pick up Her Majesty and the others in about an hour?”
“Got it.”
“Understood.”
I said goodbye to Ines and Felicia and headed for the houseboat.
Still, the Chateau?
I don’t feel uncomfortable that the flamboyant Creator God-sama chose a big ship, but I wonder if he’s planning to go on a rampage all over the spacious ship?
Hah, I’m still a bit depressed.
