Chapter 318 - They Have Distinctive Ways of Expressing Their Affection
Chapter 318 - They Have Distinctive Ways of Expressing Their Affection
Thirty minutes have passed since Kuro disappeared into a subspace with Eden-san in tow, “apparently bringing the fight outside”.
Perhaps, an unimaginable battle is going on in that subspace right now. Well, it was more like a quarrel rather than a hardcore battle, so it doesn’t seem like they would bet their lives for victory but……
And now, a fierce battle is also going on at the counter of the miscellaneous goods store.
[……Kuhhh…… Alright!]
[Guhhh…… Well played, Kaito-san…… However! You’re naive!]
[W- What did you say……]
Just when I thought I made a comeback from my disadvantageous situation, Alice looked distressed for a moment, but she immediately attacked back.
I’ve been naive…… I knew Alice’s specs are great, but for her to connect it even in that situation…… D*mn it, is there something…… Is there any reversal move I can do?
I tried making my move even when I feel impatient, but my lack of calmness made me unskillfully move, as the cruel truth showed that it started slanting…… and toppled over.
[Alright! I’m the winner!]
[Guhhh…… It’s my loss.]
With the tumbling wooden blocks, it decides my defeat.
Unnn, many people may have already played this game, but it’s that game where you pull out wooden blocks from its stack and put them back on top of the stack.
Even though it was already that slanted, I never expected that it would still be balanced when she placed it in that area…… Alice is strong.
[Fufufu, I’m always losing in games involving luck, and it feels good to win like this.]
[Somehow, putting aside other people, losing to Alice…… feels irritating.]
[Why!?]
As I was picking up the wooden blocks and start my revenge match…… A black vortex appeared and Kuro and Eden came back.
[……Welcome back, Kuro.]
[I’m back…… Haahh… Geez, she’s really strong that it feels nasty…… I’m feeling tired.]
I don’t know if I should say that it’s to be expected from a God who created a world or not, but Eden-san seems to be quite strong, and Kuro sighs with an unusually tired expression.
As I looked at Kuro, Eden-san approached me and bowed.
[I’m sorry for what happened just now, “Miyama Kaito”…… I was a bit excited.]
[Ah, no……]
The way she has called me changed from “my child” to “Miyama Kaito”, and I don’t have the same chilling feeling I had earlier. It seems like she had calmed down….. Unnn? What did she say just now? She was a bit excited? That…… was just a bit?
[Geez, anyway…… Don’t trouble Kaito-kun, nor should you harm any of Kaito-kun’s friends!]
[Don’t underestimate me, God’s half-body. There is no way I could make my beloved child sad. I will not harm Miyama Kaito or his friends.]
[……Oiiii, a gigantic boomerang is about to hit your face, you know? Have you already forgotten what happened a few days ago~~?]
[……………….]
[T- This……]
She won’t make me sad. As Eden tells us that she won’t harm me or my friends, Alice, who had a hardcore battle with her a few days ago, threw a tsukkomi but…… Eden-san splendidly ignored her. What a frightening person she is.
[……M- Most of all. You were talking about abducting and confining Kaito-san earlier……]
[Abducting? Confining? What are you talking about? That was just a “proposal”. Isn’t it obvious that I would keep Miyama Kaito’s will as my top priority?]
[……That doesn’t sound like that at all though?]
[I don’t need you to understand my intentions.]
[……Kaito-san, I hate her.]
Apparently, for Eden-san, what she said earlier about creating a world and air just for me was just a suggestion, and she won’t do it unless I agreed with her…… Somehow, I felt relieved.
For the time being, I chided Alice, whose face was twitching and looks like she was about to hit her.
However, Eden-san isn’t reading the mood at all, as she continued speaking.
[It’s not like I wanted to be liked by you. Being liked by you doesn’t have any use at all.]
[……Ooookay~~ Bring it on! Let’s pick up where we left off……]
[A- Alice, calm down. Eden-san too, please don’t provoke Alice.]
[I understand.]
A second battle was about to break out, so I asked Eden-san to stop the provocation…… And she immediately agreed.
[……Hmmm. I guess it should be fine to just leave it to Kaito-kun? It seems like she listens to what Kaito-kun says…… I came here while I’m in the middle of preparations for the Six Kings Festival…… so I guess it should be fine for me to go back now, right?]
[Eh? Ahh, alright. Thank you, Kuro.]
[No. “I’m listening to the conversation”…… So, if something happens again, I’ll come back, okay~~!?]
[Hey, just now, I feel like I heard something I couldn’t ignore……]
[Bye bye~~]
[Hey, Kuro!?]
That’s weird, how can Kuro, who should have been preparing for the Six Kings in the Demon Realm, hear our conversation……
I was going to ask Kuro immediately, but it was already too late and she had disappeared in a black light.
Where did my privacy go…… No, I guess I never had one huh……
As my shoulders slumped down, I turned to Eden-san and Alice, who were silently glaring at each other, and began to timidly intercede between them.
[……Eden-san, if it’s possible, I would like to ask you to get along with Alice…… was that no good?]
[I apologize for my rudeness the other day. Once again, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Eden. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alice.]
[……What’s with that fast turnaround…… However, saying that after all that happened is…… Unnn?]
[This is a symbol of our friendship.]
When I asked her to get along with her, Eden-san immediately introduced herself to Alice…… I see, for Eden-san, she introduced herself to me a few days ago, and Alice wasn’t on her mind at all……
It doesn’t seem like Alice would easily consent to be told by someone who was threateningly glaring at each other just a few minutes ago, as Alice is still sharply glaring at Eden-san.
But soon after, Eden-san takes out a cloth bag out of nowhere and places it in front of Alice.
By the clinking sound when it was placed down…… the contents were money?
As I was thinking like that while looking at the situation, Alice checked the contents of the bag…… and after tucking it away into her pocket, she turned to Eden-san.
[You can ask me anything you don’t understand about this world. I’ll help you as much as I can!]
[Thank you.]
[………………….]
You were quickly bought over!? What the heck is with that skit…… Who the heck is the one with a fast turnaround now!?
There must have been a lot of money in that bag. Alice has become so friendly that she’s forgotten all about what happened before…… Eden-san, what a frightening person you are. For her to see through Alice’s weakness in an instant……
[Ahh, that’s right…… My beloved child, this is for you……]
[……Eh?]
As I was stunned by the strange scene unfolding in front of me, Eden-san turned to me with a smile, took a feather from her pure white wings and handed it to me.
Arehh? What is this, I’m feeling chilly again……
[T- This is?]
[It’s a “part of me”.]
Can you stop with that scary way of speaking!? There’s probably another way of saying it, right!!!?
[My beloved child. I will always be your ally. As proof of it…… Ahh, could it be that this isn’t enough? I understand. If it were possible, I would give you a taste of my everything, right here and now. However, my child doesn’t like me to interrupt again, right? It’s alright, rest assured. I will properly “come to see you again”…… Mother will always be watching. I will affirm all of your choices. Yes, that’s right. My child could have all the freedom you want, that’s right. Of course, I will pour my never-ending love to you. Yes, that’s right! My child shouldn’t be bound to anything…… The gravity, the sun, everything, everything should move in accordance to my child’s will…… That’s right, that is……]
[Eden-san! Stop, stoooooopppp!!!]
[……Please excuse me. I’m a bit excited again. It’s alright now, Miyama Kaito.]
Unnn, I think I’m starting to get it a little bit. When Eden-san calls me “Miyama Kaito”, her switch is OFF…… But when she starts calling me “my child”, that’s the sign of danger. I’ll definitely remember it.
Regaining her composure again, Eden-san brings her mouth next to my ear…… And after quietly whispering the effect of the feather, she turned on her heel…… but as she was about to leave, she stopped on the way.
[……I almost forgot. Miyama Kaito is taking care of the store now. I can’t just leave like this…… Alice, please choose items suitable for Miyama Kaito at your discretion. I will buy everything.]
[Whut!? Please leave it to me!!!]
[…………………]
When Eden-san told her that, Alice disappeared in an instant and came back with a mountain of merchandise.
Then, without checking it, Eden-san takes out a cloth bag, which is twice as big as the one before, and hands it to Alice.
[You can keep the change.]
[……Are you God……?]
[Yes, I am. Well then, I will continue my sightseeing in this world…… Till we meet again, Miyama Kaito.]
[Ah, yes. Goodbye.]
[Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you again!!!]
[……Alice.]
Alice’s happiness, which can be clearly seen even with her mask, cheerfully big the departing Eden-san with a bow. This woman, she really has an easy to understand personality……
Compared to that, Eden-san…… No, her love for me came across as frightening but…… She’s quite an unusual person.
If Shiro-san had a really impartial doctrine, Eden-san would have a really partial doctrine huh……
Somehow, I’m beginning to think that all the Gods who created their own world are the ones who express their affection in strange ways for the world they created.
Dear Mom, Dad———— Eden-san gave me a feather. However, to be honest, this feather…… Would there even be a time where I would use this? It obviously feels like using this would be dangerous instead. Well, putting that aside, whether it’s Shiro-san or Eden-san———– They have distinctive ways of expressing their affection.
