Chapter 44 Were Probably Getting Along (1/2)

It took a lot of hard work, really hard work, to explain the situation to the Goddess of Time, but I somehow managed to convince her.

I already threw 90% of the blame for that to Kuro. Well, it’s isn’t really wrong to say that she is at fault, as even Ein-san agreed that it was mostly Kuro’s fault, not to mention the Goddess of Time.

By the way, after Lilia-san gained consciousness, she’s been trembling with a blank look on her face, but I feel like she’s somehow staring at me with grudging eyes. Incidentally, before she was acting like that, she told me “I need to talk to you about something after we return.” in a voice that seemed to resonate from the pits of hell.

I remembered she once asked me “You’re not hiding any friendship you had with any other outrageous people anymore, right!?” and I replied with “I don’t know any other demon anymore”…… But she’s a God, not a Demon, and I also didn’t know that she is the God of Creation…… If I were to say something like that, would she forgive me? My future looks grim……

[However, receiving the blessing of Shallow Vernal-sama…… Shallow Vernal-sama is the world’s God, and receiving her blessing means that Miyama has received the blessing of the world itself.]

[I dunno.]

[……Why is Shallow Vernal-sama tilting her head!?]

As if to confirm the Goddess of Time’s words, Shiro-san tilted her head as if it was natural, and looking at her response, the Goddess of Time held both of her hands on her face.

Somehow, the Goddess of Time resembles Lilia-san…… She’s probably feeling really troubled right now……

[Let’s also prepare some tea cakes. Kaito-san, you like baby castella, right?]

And Shiro-san completely ignored the Goddess of Time who had her hands on her head. The Goddess of Time really looks pitiful there.

Also, please don’t treat it like all people like baby castella. It’s true that baby castellas are the food that I brought into my mouth the most since I came to this world. After all, I’ve been eating it at least one almost every day.

However, it isn’t that I like baby castellas, but it’s because of that little demon girl that invades my room every day, bringing it with her, so I ate them.

And every time I would politely have some, I would find that its flavor changed…… Just yesterday, it was filled with red bean paste. Where does her tremendous obsession with baby castellas come from?

[Apparently, the best thing about them is that they’re easy to eat and they don’t break when you carry them around like cookies.]

[Is that so. By the way, what food does Shiro-san like?]

[I don’t have any preference.]

[Fumu fumu, I like sweet stuff like confectioneries, I like apple pies….. I guess you would rather call them ripple pie in this world. I particularly liked it that I even tried to make it myself…… But I couldn’t make it very well.]

I can’t really do anything more for the Goddess of Time, so I just put her aside for now and started chatting with Shiro-san.

Shiro-san listened to me with a blank expression on her face and after she looked like she understood something, she waved her finger. Then, a ripple pie, which seems to be freshly baked, appeared on the table.

[Here you go.]

[Ah, thank you very much…… a freshly made one just appeared out of nowhere, so did it come out from something like a magic box?]

[No, I just made it just now.]

[……Is that some kind of power that the God of Creation can do?]

[Yes.]

[I feel like it’s a colossal waste of power though.]

[That might be so.]

Once again, I think it’s a problem that I’m talking to the God of Creation so casually, but Shiro-san doesn’t seem to mind it…… Or rather, she looks like she’s having fun as the corners of her mouth are raised up a bit, and as we’re having a conversation about something I can understand, I’m also having fun.

Lilia-san and the others still seemed to be in the middle of a discussion about the summoning magic circle, as once the chaos in their minds began to fade, they resumed their conversation on that subject.

I can’t follow their conversation at all, so Shiro-san will have to talk with me for a while longer.

[I see, so this is what it means to be a capture target.]

[That’s definitely not the case.]

Dear Mom, Dad—— Well, there’s been lots of confusion, and it might be rude for me to say this…… I have lots of things to complain about, but I enjoy talking to Shiro-san in a different way than when I’m talking with Kuro, and one way or another—– we’re probably getting along.

Quietly stepping away from Kaito and Shallow Vernal who were chatting with each other, Chronois, Ein, and Lilia looked at each other.

[……Kaito-san is amazing, for him to be that close to the God of Creation…… I feel suffocated just looking at the God of Creation, not to mention having a conversation with her.]

[No, Lilia. Your reaction to her presence is normal…… Shallow Vernal-sama is clearly different from us, and the magic power she was clad in intimidates everyone around her. Therefore, unless you’re a very strong person, you shouldn’t be able to act as usual in front of Shallow Vernal-sama…… How is it that Miyama is able to have a normal conversation with her?]
