Chapter 722: Gods Growth ① (1/2)

In the upper level of the God Realm, at a special place where only the Supreme Gods and their direct subordinates are allowed to live, the three Supreme Gods of the God Realm gathered in the Temple of the Time and Space, one of the three temples erected in that area.

The purpose of their gathering is a semi-annual meeting of the three Supreme Gods…… then again, rather than a meeting, it would normally just become a place where Chronois scolds Fate and Life, but the situation this time was a little different.

[……Hey, God of Life. What in the world is going on?]

[I don't know? That's what I'd like to know too…… What's the matter, God of Fate?]

After exchanging glances with each other, they turned their attention to Fate, who was lying on the desk, giving off a gloomy atmosphere…… unlike her usual atmosphere where she finds all things troublesome, she looked somewhat depressed.

[……God of Time and Space, God of Life…… I'm a useless God……]

[I know.]

[I also think it is as you say.]

[Aren't you cruel!?]

Chronois and Life nodded at Fate's statement that she was a useless God. In fact, looking at her usual attitude, it's a fact that she was the personification of the words ”useless God”……

[W- Well, let's just put your uselessness aside. So, what the heck is going on with you, God of Fate? If you have a problem, we can lend you an ear……]

[Rather than a problem, there's something I'd like to ask you two…… What is a parent and child?]

Fate's concern was about the introduction meeting with Kaito's parents that had taken place a while ago. She tried her best to make it work, but in the end, she couldn't understand what it was like to be a parent and a child, nor did she gain any interest in Akari and Miyama.

She knew that it wouldn't work, but when it really didn't work, she became depressed because of it.

[Parent and child? You mean those who are related by blood?]

[Are you talking about the significance of whether or not one has biologically inherited one's genes?]

Receiving Fate's question, Chronois and Life tilted their heads and asked back.

[Okay then…… For example, if you and Kai-chan's parents met, how would you two act? How would you interact with them?]

[Unnn? I don't get your point…… Does it really matter if they are Miyama's parents or not? Specially distinguishing them from the others is for individuals worth distinguishing, so you don't have to especially interact with them just because they are Miyama's parents, right?]

[I agree. The fact that they are Miyama's parents doesn't make their evaluations any higher. I don't see the point in discussing something like this though?]

[……Haahhh…… should have known. You two are Supreme Gods like me after all…… so I should have known that this would be your response.]

Fate can understand Chronois and Life's responses, that Akari and Kazuya should be treated as their own individuals, and that there is no need to be considerate to them just because they’re related to Kaito. Rather, their ideas are actually similar with Fate's…… but Fate thinks that that won't do.

As a matter of fact, Chronois has a close relationship with Lilia and seems to care about her in many ways, but she treats her brother Ryze as a different person and his evaluation in her eyes doesn't raise just because he's Lilia's brother.

For the Gods…… that may be the right thing to do. However……
