Chapter 931: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ⑥ (2/2)

When I asked her about it, she looked at the setting sun in silence before she calmly spoke.

[……Back then…… A long time ago, I am a being who ”used to be a human, and became God”.]

[……Huh? Eh? Eeeeehhhh!?]

The words that she spoke were the most shocking thing I've heard all day. E- Eden-san is a former human? It was so unexpected that my mind was unable to keep up.

However, it didn't sound like a lie or a joke. If that's the case…… Eden-san really is a former human?

[The Earth that my child lived in, the solar system in which Earth is located, and even the galaxy that my children call the Milky Way…… They were made to resemble the world I once lived in. I certainly didn't modify it that much, but strangely enough…… today's Earth looks a lot like the one I once lived in.]

[………………..]

[The bazaar I mentioned earlier was in my former world.]

Not knowing what to say in response to the series of surprises, I dumbfoundedly looked at Eden-san's profile…… She seemed to be feeling nostalgic for the past, and yet, she somehow had a gentle expression on her face.

[……From the time I became a God until now, if I speak in units that are easy for my child to understand, it has been over 20 billion years. I'm only talking about the space I was in though, so with my child's world having a different flow of time than where I was, far more years have passed since I created it.]

[I see…… Honestly though, even if you say that it was 20 billion years ago, it's so long ago that the human me can't even imagine it…… but Eden-san, you remember that time very well, don't you?]

[Yes, no matter how many years have passed, my memories in that word…… the memories of the ten years I spent with my one best friend would never fade.]

[One best friend?]

After listening to the words Eden-san calmly said, she looked up at the sky, which was beginning to darken, and muttered.

[……Would it be alright if we change our location first?]

[Eh? Yes.]

[Let's move to that deserted island we went to first. If we're talking about that time, that would be a good place. Let's teleport there…… and by the time I finish telling the story…… ”I suppose we'll be able to see the stars”.]

The expression on Eden-san's face when she said that was very kind and gentle…… Although she was obscure in the way she explained them, I could tell that she really cared about her best friend.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Fumu, in other words, the reason why Makina so desperately wanted to take a stroll with Kaito while suppressing her outbursts was to heal the mentally exhausted Kaito huh……]

? ? ? : [I see~~ What a perfect consideration, isn't it? Just one thing though…… If you were to just close your eyes on the fact that ”the mental stress caused by the person accompanying him is greater than the healing power of the scenery”……]
