A very serious conversation is going on in front of me right now. Especially regarding the means to send me, Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san, they must have been carefully talking about it to make sure that no danger would befall us in the worst-case scenario.
This shows that Lilia-san is sincerely concerned about us, and the firmness of her tone as she’s talking with the Goddess, it was pletely different from the frightened look she had a few moments ago, which is very encouraging, is very encouraging.
But in the midst of all this, I, one of the subjects of their concerns…… was chatting with someone who wasn’t even here. Even though I can’t participate nor could I even follow the conversation, I feel terribly sorry for them.
Truly, since I came to this world, the people I met have all been kind to me…… and while I am grateful for that, I also feel apologetic for the constant inconvenience I’ve caused them.
It might make me feel better if someone else called me out for being a douchebag, but thankfully, no person would say such a—–
(You’re a douchebag.)
…………shut up there, airhead Goddess. Why is it that you’re throwing a counter punch just when people were being solemn to themselves? Please don’t shatter the words I just said about everyone I met being kind.
W- Well, the only reason Shiro-san said that was because she thought it might make me feel better if someone else cursed me and she just plied. I know that she’s actually just unusual, but a kind person.
(You just pushed me down, then raised me up. It must have been some kind of trick to accumulate Affection Points, isn’t it? That is to say, I’m also Kaito-san’s capture target too.)
You’ve already messed up lots of things. Or rather, you said Affection and Capture Target—– Could it be that you’re the one who taught Kuro all those strange information……
W- Well, let’s just leave it at that and change the subject…… or rather, go back to our previous subject. There’s an elven festival around this time of the year?
(The “Sacred Tree Festival”, a festival that is also large in its own right.)
Sacred Tree Festival? It sounds like a great festival, but it’s kind of difficult for me to imagine what kind of festival it is.
Since it was called Sacred Tree, I guess it’s a festival about trees huh?
(This is the time of the year when the Sacred Trees worshipped by the elves bear fruit. Therefore, at this time of the year, hunting and harvesting are the main events of the elves, and although it’s not very flashy, it’s a festival that many people visit.)
Fumu, so it’s something like harvest festival huh? It’s almost like a village festival where everyone eats the fruit they’ve harvested and the prey they’ve hunted. However, if it’s going to be a festival about a tree worshipped by the elves, it might be a pretty big one.
From what I’ve heard, it sounds like a pretty good festival, and the fact that there are a lot of humans visiting means that it isn’t a festival that only elves are allowed to participate.
However, the problem is the location. The place where the Sacred Tree Festival will be held in, is it close to Lilia-san’s home…… or perhaps, is it even in the Symphonia Kingdom? If it’s too far away, it might be difficult for us to attend.
(The forest where the elves live is within the territory of the Kingdom of Symphonia.)
Shiro-san gives me an immediate response to the question that popped in my head.
……Is that so. Then, is it at least within a reachable distance?
(It’s in this location.)
The moment Shiro-san told me that, a map of the Human Realm appeared in my mind, and a red mark was blinking a little distance away from the royal capital.
The heck is this, an ability like that is disgusting! Should I describe it as images directly flowing in my head? Shiro-san really can do anything huh…… I mean, this is already some kind of mental attack to me.
Hmmm, forcing images to appear in the other person’s mind, depending on how it’s used, it can do some terrible things.
(I can even show you some sensual images.)
[I never asked for something like that though!?]
[ [ [ ! ? ] ] ]
[……Ah.]
Because Shiro-san said something so unexpected that I couldn’t help but say it out loud instead of just thinking about it in my head, and the three people that were talking with each other looked at me as if they’re asking me what was going on.
[K- Kaito-kun? What’s with you all of a sudden?]
[Ah, no……]
[Is there something you have a problem with?]
[N- No, that’s not the case……]
I responded to Lilia-san, who looked worried as she looked at me, while the Goddess of Time tilted her head while asking me who was breaking out in cold sweat.
[Chronois…… Kaito-sama might be tired.]
[Fumu, we’ve certainly been talking for a while, haven’t we? Miyama, should we take some break?]
[Kaito-san, I know it’s not something I should say since I forced you to e with me, but if it’s difficult for you, please don’t force yourself and take some break.]
[……Errr, ummm……]
They’re absurdly worrying about me!? W- What the heck do you do in this kind of situation!? Shiro-san, please don’t stay silent there and say something!!!
(Something too crazy might be impossible, but if it’s an adult video that Kaito-san remembers, I can jog your memory and show it to you.)
This Goddess still hasn’t understood a single thing about the situation!? Why the heck are you adding information even though no one’s asking that!? And one more thing! As for that suggestion you just said…… Please tell me in full-details later!
After firing my tsukkomis at Shiro-san like a human machinegun, I hurriedly explained to Lilia-san and the others who were looking at me with puzzled looks.
[N-No, just now, Shiro-sa—– Goddess-sama was speaking directly to my head, and I just mixed up my replies……]
[ [ […………………] ] ]
A- Arehh? Something about everyone’s eyes seemed to be chillier than before. Eh? Why?
[……K- Kaito-san? As expected, that’s not something……]
[Huh?]
[……Miyama, seriously, are you okay?]
[Ehh?]
[……There doesn’t seem to be any abnormalities in your pulse or temperature.]
[Wha!?]
The three of them have clear concerns towards me, as they throw words of concern, worrying about my condition.
W- What’s going on? Aren’t all gods able to speak directly to other people’s heads like Shiro-san?
(No, not all Gods can.)
Why didn’t you tell me that kind of important information earlier!?
I finally figured out why these three are looking at me with expressions that say “What the heck is this guy talking about?”…… Apparently, normal Goddesses can’t do things that Shiro-san can.
By the way, Shiro-san, does that mean a lower-ranked Goddess can’t do that? Were they able to do that when they became a high-ranked god or something like that?
(There are only some that can do that.)
I see, in other words, this method of conversation is something only a few high-ranked Gods can do, and since what I said implies that I was talking to a high-rank God right now, that’s why I’m in this situation.
The fact that Ein-san is also puzzled means that she hasn’t heard from Kuro about how I received Shiro-san’s blessing.
A- Anyway, this situation isn’t good, I have to quickly explain this to them and clear up the misunderstanding……
As I was thinking about how I was going to explain Shiro-san to them while I was also checking some things with her, Lilia-san spoke to me while holding my hand with a gentle smile on her face.
[……It’s alright. Of course, I believe in Kaito-san’s words. So please feel at ease and calm down.]
[……………..]
The figure of me, who was apparently looking down and thinking about how to respond, seemed to look depressed to Lilia-san and the others, and that’s why Lilia-san tried to gently tell me words of encouragement.
However, this way of talking to me is……
[T- That’s right! Maybe the God of Thoughts has been playing a prank on you! I’ll have to go visit him and give him a warning.]
[Kaito-sama, I have prepared a relaxing herb tea for you. If you wouldn’t mind……]
[……………….]
They’ve pletely shifted their thoughts and are now treating me with great caution!? It’s like they’re already treating me like a wounded child!?
Wait, Shiro-san! Shiro-saaaann!!!
(What’s the matter?)
What’s the matter, your head! Who do you think is responsible for this situation!?
(I dunno?)
This useless Goddess… If I don’t do something fast…… Anyway, my priority right now is to clear up everyone’s misunderstandings……
However, what am I supposed to do in this situation? Lilia-san, Ein-san, and the Goddess of Time all have passionate expressions on their faces, like they’re pletely appeasing a child.
I think that whatever I say to them in this situation will only be met with a gentle affirmation and fort.
……Shiro-san, I’m begging you, please help me here. Seriously, my spirit is already in shambles, so please do something about this situation.
(I understand.)
In response to my plea, which could be described as the scream of my soul, Shiro-san replied with a simple acknowledgment.
And immediately after, the guest room became filled with light for a moment…… And Shiro-san appeared as if it was natural.
[ [ [ ! ? ] ] ]
[In this way, there wouldn’t be any problem if we just directly talk with each other, right?]
I- Indeed, it’s difficult to prove to others that I’m mentally talking with someone, but it will be easier to explain if Shiro-san, the root of this problem, es out.
I don’t know if this is a fine play on my side though…… Arehh? Why do I feel like Lilia-san and the others stiffened where they stand?
[Sha– Sha— Shallow Vernal-sama!? W- Why are you in this place!?]
It was the Goddess of Time who moved away from her shock the fastest. She was clearly shaken when she saw Shiro-san’s appearance, but the Goddess of Time immediately put kneels on the ground and bowed her head.
……I somehow feel like this flow is turning strange. To be specific, it’s as if I’ve attracted an even more troublesome situation than my attempt to escape from the troublesome situation I was in before.
I mean, the Goddess of Time—- a Supreme God, is clearly talking to her like Shiro-san’s her superior. Her acting this way could mean that it’s that, isn’t it? What I mean is that Shiro-san is……
The truth that’s ing into my mind amid all these agitated thoughts is starting to make my head hurt…… As if to affirm it, Lilia-san, who looked like she was about to pass out while holding my hand, murmured with her trembling voice.
[……G- Go– “God of Creation”…… Shallow Vernal-sama……]
Dear Mom, Dad—— To be honest, I had a hunch that this is the case, but Shiro-san really is—– the God of Creation.
