Chapter 433 - : The Pantheon, and the Gods’ Lottery (1/2)
In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 433: The Pantheon, and the Gods’ Lottery
“Areh? Where is this?”
The place I was brought to by Karen nee-san was not the usual rooh it feels weird to call that place a rooe white pillars lined up to either side Outside, the usual sea of clouds stretches out beyond the horizon
Directly in front, beyond a flight of stairs, stood a large temple-like structure
Above, the sky is clear without a single cloud—wait, they’re down below, right There’s no cloud, but there is a bright rainbow in the form of a perfect circle The deep blue sky in the center of that circle feels like it would draw me in
“This way-nano yo”
Karen nee-san pulled on
“Wa, wait up What is that?”
“The Pantheon-nano yo A public space used by all the Gods… It’s like a spot to hang out, basically The one who made it was the Creation God-sama Everyone who’s here is either a God or a God’s dependant-nano yo”
Pantheon? I know about the royal castle of Deh, are they related?
As I was dragged into that place by Karen nee-san, the scenery around us changed all of a sudden Even though ere supposed to be inside a building, this place looks like the inner courtyard of a castle There are various plants around, with a grassy lawn that covers the whole area, and there’s even a fountain in the center
“What the heck is this…?”
“There’s a lot of different places and rooet to the any path you choose-no yo”
Any path… So you’re telling me there’s no set routes in this place? There’s a liet…
People around us, who are lazing about around the courtyard we’re passing through, looked at us with interest Those people are all Gods, I suppose I guess that sparrow-like bird which is flying over there is also a God’s dependant or soaze; the bird fleards us, and landed on Karen nee-san’s shoulder
“Oh, Love God Is that the rumored new God?”
“Yep We’re in a bit of a hurry, Flight God, so I’ll talk later-nano yo”
“Haha Aren’t you cold today”
Uave you the wrong label
“It’s fine, I don’t really mind Well, let’s have a nice talk so that, the Flight God flapped his wings and left Did he read uess that much is to be expected
“It’s been billions of years since World God-sama has last had a dependant, so everyone’s interested in you-no yo Touya-kun is actually a bit of a celebrity in this place-no yo Well, there’s a bit of a probleh…”
“Eh!? Did I, do so yourself-no yo The thing is… Oh, I should talk about it once we arrive-no yo”
I have no idea what’s going on In any case, with h the courtyard-like place, went into an arch-shaped door and entered another building
… We should’ve entered another building, and yet
Even though this was supposed to be in a building, it was the outside No, is this even the outside? I can’t tell even that While the same sea of clouds could be seen in the distance, underneathin profusion
Here and there, the same white pillars I saith the te Since there’s only the pillars there and nothing else, it alyptian obelisks
It’s like heaven, this place… I guess I’m not actually that far from the truth with that Or rather, wouldn’t heaven be below this place? Since this is the Divine Realm and all I don’t really know
“Yaa, you finally came”
“Areh? Kousuke ojii-san?”
Before I noticed, the Agriculture God, Kousuke ojii was standing in front ofGod, Karina nee-san
“For now, everyone has cal supressed by the Sword God and the Martial God Sheesh, what a bunch of troublemakers”
So said Karina nee-san in an exasperated voice, but I have no idea what any of that is supposed to uys just explain toon here?”
“Un, I think it’s best if you asked World God-sa too Now, let’s go”
Kousuke ojii began walking In the end, there’s no choice but to follow for rance of the flowers, eventually, sakura-like trees began appearing, and pale-colored petals started drifting through the air
While walking, I realized the figures of people appreciating the flowers could be seen here and there around us These people are probably Gods as well They’re looking our way, too
Honestly speaking, it’s not a great feeling It’s as if I’ I wonder if I’ood for you to coood for you to coer sakura tree, the World God sat on top of a gozaa tokkuri And besides her, there’s the Music God, Sousuke nii-san as well, holding a harp
“Sorry to call you out like this Well, sit down first”
For now, I followed World God-saoza has an aoza?
“To tell you the truth, there was actually a banquet held today for the Gods It’s a good opportunity for everyone to gather, so I talked about the resort plan to theer, it looks achievable now When everyone heard that, they were very interested and happy at the news They were raising a whole ruckus celebrating the chance to go down to theabout how Gods would go down and spend so as a nor about that… We actually got onto the topic of your wedding ceremony as we talked When I said that myself as well as the Love God, Sword God and others will be participating as your fa, you see Give that chance to them too, were their words”
Eh? What does that… How did the topic ofabout the resort plan?
“Basically, it’s this-nano yo If they attend your wedding cereo down to the mortal world before other Gods, is the implication An advance team for the resort plan… Or rather, uests, I suppose”
“Eh, the heck is that?”
“It would be bad if we arbitrarily decided on your fa present, you know So I called you here Speaking of the es, uncles and aunts, cousins, stuff like that…”
“Wa, please wait a second! I’ll be troubled if you just go and increase my family like that!”
I already have 8 Gods as h my direct family is only World God-sama as well as Karen nee-san and Moroha nee-san
Plus, although the world we live in is different, my mom and dad are still alive too I would definitely feel reluctant to call soh, I already had 2 from both my parents’ sides, so that one I don’t really ree with you on that-no yo It’d be annoying for me too if some weird people became my father or mother-no yo”
“By weird people, what do you…?”
“Touya-kun, could you call that Flight God froone crazy, won’t they”
“I’lad you understand-no yo”
I mean, he completely looks like a sparrow When I looked aroundthis way there are some weird people… Gods…? There too Like people with their heads being that of cats or birds They look like Egyptian Gods or Gods from somewhere around there… Completely different from the Gods I know about
Well, there are people like werecats aone down to earth, people will just be curious about thee ruckus; but still, if someone like that was to become my mom, that’d be a bit too impossible
“Isn’t it fine even if they’re not s like friends from my hometown, people who have cared for me in the past… It wouldn’t be weird if we invited people like that toceremony anyway”
The instant they heard those words, the Gods around me all raised a loud cheer of “Uooooooh!” Uwa, that scared et it, new God!”
“That’s right! Everyone should get a chance!”
“Exactly! We want to stretch ourselves and relax too!”
What, are there so o down? Are Gods all so free?
Although, apparently not everyone here is enthusiastic They’re split into the Gods ant to spread their wings as soon as possible, and the Gods who are thinking they’ll go down sometime in the future
“Is that really ok? At this rate, everyone will go down-no yo? If those bunch created any problems down on earth, it’s you, Touya-kun, who have to take responsibility and deal with them-nano yo? We as your support staff will also help, but…”
“Eh!? Wait, that’s ill happen!?”
I became very anxious when I heard Karen nee-san whisper next to o down to earth will not cause problems!
“Everyone, calm down Even if we say his world will becoo to that world and do whatever ant there The nore the dirt onto his, and by extension, onto the World God’s face with our actions, after all”
When Kousuke ojii raised his voice, the celebrating Gods around went “uain As expected of the person… God with thethe Gods who have coriculture God Just how should we choose theceree man who looks to be at least 25m tall with his upper half bare asked He wears a robe like the chiton worn by ancient Greeks which is hung on his left shoulder, and his bulging muscles could be seen in the uncovered areas What’sbody builder poses as if to show those muscles off
“We will decide that froth God It’s for that reason that he was called here”
Strength God I see, the God of power, huh I’m convinced
