Chapter 17 – It Seems Tough, But Maybe Not…
It turns out that the Creator God-sama is trying to harass the gods. It’s a vicious system where the gods are forced to take care of his incarnations, and the resulting crystals are used to reduce the wages of the gods. What’s more, I’ve also been caught in this trap, and the results of my actions are having a negative effect on the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama. I want to somehow negotiate and reverse this situation, which is all detrimental.
“You want a reward… Wataru-kun, this is a punishment, you know? Isn’t it wrong to ask for a reward?”
This punishment was unreasonable from the beginning.
“I know I’m saying this myself, but I was trying my best to entertain Creator God-sama. Creator God-sama understood that, and just now, you said that you would go easy on me. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay to give me a reward?”
I don’t think it’s a matter of right or wrong, but momentum is important in this kind of thing. Fortunately, Creator God-sama is in a pretty good mood after getting revenge on the other gods, so I think there’s a good chance he’ll accept it.
“Well… um, okay then. So, what do you want? This is a punishment, so I won’t accept any greedy rewards, okay?”
I was surprised that I got permission so easily. It’s worth trying to complain. I guess this is where the word “stubbornly getting what you want” came from.
But I hadn’t thought about a reward, so I didn’t know what to do.
Ah, since I’m reducing the rewards for the three goddesses, I should make a suggestion that benefits both me and the three goddesses.
“How about extending the holidays for the other gods if you don’t reduce the incarnation of Creator God-sama by more than half?”
If that happens, I can play with the goddesses in a room without Creator God-sama, and the other gods can relax, too.
Well, you have to assume that being with me is less painful than being with Creator God-sama, but I think it’s better than being with Creator God-sama.
To be honest, I don’t mind if the goddesses alone have an extended holiday, but that would be too obvious, so I requested a holiday for all the gods.
“What? You mean you’re going to cut my holiday and give the other gods a holiday?”
He looks very unhappy.
“In the first place, the holiday for the gods is being canceled today as a punishment from Creator God-sama, so isn’t that a fair decision?”
“You’re supposed to take care of my incarnation, so it should be an honor, right?”
Since he’s making it a punishment game for himself, I think that Creator God-sama understands his own reputation.
“I’m making a request that relies on the mercy of such a great Creator God-sama.”
“Hmm, well, it’s true that you’ve worked hard, and I suppose I could acknowledge that much… but half of it is no good. I’d like you to show at least two-thirds of your loyalty.”
Creator God-sama, who is not used to being praised on a regular basis, clearly relaxes when he hears words like “great” and “mercy.”
When he’s in a good mood or has the upper hand, he’s really a forgiving type. But when things get a little complicated, even the gods can’t handle him…
“I understand. Then, I will give you my utmost loyalty.”
Let’s stop here. If I ask too much, he’ll lose his good mood.
“Okay. Then good luck. I’ll enjoy watching you work hard from here.”
When Creator God-sama snaps his fingers, a new mini-Creator God-sama appears. I’m sure I’m a special case because I have nothing to do with crystals.
I greet the mini-Creator God-sama as he floats over, in the same kneeling position as in church, and hold out my hands for him to sit on.
This may be a humiliating act from the point of view of the gods, but I wanted to beat the Creator God-sama’s drum this time.
The only difference is that the person I’m drumming for has turned into a mini-Creator God-sama. In fact, I feel like I’m getting a better deal because he’s smaller.
The mini-Creator God-sama stands on my palm and puffs up his chest in a haughty manner. Unlike the mini-Creator God-sama at the place of the God of Light-sama, he doesn’t seem to sit down.
“Take good care of him.”
“Understood. But when did you make all these preparations?”
While I was distracted by the mini-Creator God-sama, before I knew it, the other side of the barrier was well-stocked.
I’ve seen this atmosphere before. What was it called? Yes, it’s called the cockpit-style when camping. The food and drinks are nicely arranged around him.
I think he’ll enjoy our hardships in this comfortable-looking place.
“Hmm? I’m the Creator God, so this is easy for me.
He is proud of himself, but he won’t tell me anything specific. Creator God-sama is the type who brags about everything when there’s no problem, so it seems like he’s involved in the workings of this incident.
As for God of Light-sama… oh, no, it looks like the God of Light-sama can’t pay attention to me either since her hands are being held by the Mini Creator God-sama.
“Taaaaa!”
While I was wondering what to do, Mini Creator God-sama started doing the foot dance on my palm. It seems that I’ve bored him. For now, I’ll just concentrate on Mini-Creator God-sama.
Besides, does that cry mean anything? It looks like he’s just making noise, so it’s kind of hard.
“Mini-Creator God-sama, is there anything you’re interested in?”
When I called out to him, Mini-Creator God-sama pointed to a certain place with his finger. It’s not even six in the morning, but suddenly a bar? First of all, he likes alcohol.
“God of Light-sama, I’m sorry. Since Mini-Creator God-sama is moving, I’ll leave from here.”
“Yes, please do your best, Wataru-san. Thank you for your holiday request.”
“Haha, you’re welcome. Then, God of Light-sama, please do your best as well.”
I guess she heard me about the holiday. I’m glad she’s happy about it.
Mini-Creator God-sama ordered whiskey from the menu. It looks like he’s going to drink something strong in the morning.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Ta~”
“I see, nuts, salami, and cheese, then. Very well.”
I ordered as instructed and had it brought to me by Saporabi. As soon as it was placed on the table, Mini-Creator God-sama jumped at the whiskey glass.
Mini-Creator God-sama, who is about the size of a slightly larger doll, lifts the whiskey glass, which is larger than his own face, and swallows the whiskey.
He is surprisingly strong, and it is frightening to see him drink an amount of liquid that clearly cannot fit into his stomach. Thinking about it normally, he is the kind of monster you would expect to see.
“Would you like another drink, or would you like to try something else?”
The mini-Creator God-sama taps the rim of the whiskey glass. He obviously wants another drink. While I’m ordering, the mini-Creator God-sama opens his mouth wide and chews on some snacks.
I wonder how much mini-Creator God-sama can eat and drink?
＊＊＊
Right now, Mini-Creator God-sama is getting a beauty treatment from Saporabi.
I take care of the Mini-Creator God-sama, but unlike the other Mini-Creator God-sama that the other gods take care of, I don’t know what he was originally, but I seriously wonder if he needs a beauty treatment.
But it’s really relaxing.
Mini-Creator God-sama is very cheeky, but because he is small, unlike the other gods, he doesn’t really bother me.
And because he is faithful to his wishes, as long as I give him everything he wants and suggest things that look like fun, he stays in a good mood.
It’s more like taking care of a pet that a friend left in your care than a punishment.
However, it seems that the gods and Mini-Creator God-sama don’t get along well, and sometimes I see Mini-Creator God-sama shrinking to a much smaller size.
It seems that they are having a harder time than I expected.
“Ta-!”
Oh, Mini-Creator God-sama is calling me.
“Thank you for waiting. Are you satisfied?”
“Ta~!”
The mini-Creator God-sama nods seriously. That was pretty good; I think I’ll give him a pat on the back. I’m starting to understand a little bit, but I’m not particularly happy.
“Thank you. What would you like to do next? Since you’ve had a relaxing time, I suggest you enjoy a movie or a play.”
After a refreshing session at the beauty parlor, exercise is definitely a different experience.
“Ta-!”
“I see, you mean the movies. May I recommend something for you?”
“Ta-!”
“Thank you very much. Please get in here.”
I didn’t want to feel trampled by Mini Creator God-sama, so I prepared a towel, and Mini Creator God-sama changed to a style where he lay down on the soft towel and moved around.
Although he’s small, he’s a pretty big doll, so it’s a little difficult to carry him when he’s lying down. I’m not going to tell him that, though.
I took Mini-Creator God-sama to the movie theater and put him in the middle of the seats, but the seats weren’t high enough, so I quickly summoned a Saporabi. I decided to have him watch the movie from the top of Saporabi’s fluffy head, which was sitting on the seat.
Of course, I also prepared soda and popcorn. If the Mini-Creator God-sama wants it, the Saporabi will feed him.
Now about the movie… I know I’m not the type to enjoy romantic comedies, literature, tragedies, mysteries, and so on.
The only genre I recommend to the Mini Creator God-sama is action comedies.
Oh, there’s a new one. As always, it’s a mysterious system, but it’s a lifesaver.
What? The manga was made into a live-action movie?
And the fact that it’s a Japanese movie, but it’s on the playlist of the luxury liner, means it’s become quite popular?
But the person who plays the role of the sleazy sweeper is a great actor, so it’s not surprising that it’s become popular overseas. I’m a little curious about what’s going on in Japan, but I think even Mini-Creator God-sama would like it.
I don’t think the bulge will be there, though.
I’m going to play the movie while thinking about silly things.
I’m curious about it, too, but… it’s a really interesting-looking movie, so I’ll watch it later when I can concentrate on it without worrying about anything else.
The movie has started, and Mini-Creator God-sama is already absorbed in the screen. It looks like I can stand a little bit away from him.
I’m going to go to the bathroom now and fill my empty stomach somewhere. I can’t relax too much, so I’ll have a sandwich at a cafe.
“Oh, the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama, all together… you look tired.”
When I entered the cafe, the three goddesses, looking exhausted, were slumped over at a table.
The God of Gastronomy-sama and the Goddess of the Forest-sama were especially tired.
“Haha, it was a bit hard, so I asked the God of Light for help.”
“Fufu, me too.”
I see that it was a wise decision to ask the God of Light-sama, who is a specialist in dealing with the Creator God-sama. But I’ve never heard the God of Gastronomy-sama laugh like that. It’s a dry laugh.
And the culprit who made the goddesses exhausted? They’re eating sandwiches from a cafe. When there are three of them, they look like some kind of evil creature.
Maybe my Mini-Creator God-sama is cuter. No, I’m starting to feel like a pet owner.
