Isekai ni kanaderu densetsu ~toki wo tomeru mono~ Chapter 3 (1/2)

Suddenly, the whole cla.s.sroom shakes violently and was wrapped in dazzling light, immediately after that, I found myself in a j.a.panese tatami room with a sweet aroma permeating the room……

So, I’m in a j.a.panese style room.

「Where is this……?」

There’s a sunken hearth1 near the center of the room, in front there’s a wall decorated with a scroll hanging on it , written in it is【 Everything will eventually work itself out】2. What a beautiful hanging scroll…… when I looked at the left there are open shoujis3, the outside is an excellent scenery of j.a.panese garden that calms the heart of anyone who ever laid eyes on it. It merge naturally with the sound of the flowing water and the audible sound of s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ odos.h.i.+4.

「Is this a tea-ceremony room?……」

「Yes, it is.」

While looking at the beautiful scenery of the garden in the left, I couldn’t help but think out loud but the voice who answered is coming from the direction of the hanging scroll. I was surprised and returned my gaze to the front, sitting straight opposite to the sunken hearth is an old man who’s stroking his white beard while smiling at me. Before I became aware, I’m now kneeling on the floor.

「……Who are you old man ?」

「Naturally, I’m G.o.d.」

I was scared when the old man who proclaimed himself G.o.d suddenly walk forward. Too scary. Although I can’t grasp the situation well, please don’t come near me.

「I’m sorry. I seem to have frightened you.」

「……」

「It’s okay, no need to be cautious.」

No no. It’s impossible to not be cautious in this situation. What do you expect, even for me, a j.a.panese who has crisis management skill still find this too much… …even if I left out the old man who proclaimed himself a G.o.d, I should’ve been in the cla.s.sroom right now. I just gave an answer to Segawa Chinatsu and Ebihara Kotomi… …before I became aware, I’m already here. To begin with, where did the other guys in the cla.s.sroom went? Is this realty? Or a dream? I don’t get it……

「I will give an answer to all your questions. This is not a dream. You’re in the tea-ceremony house that I created in a different s.p.a.ce. All the children in cla.s.s, as well as you, were summoned into a different world called Asgard using magic by a certain kingdom. As for me, I’m G.o.d.」

Wait, wait old man, you can read people’s minds… …? You’re really G.o.d-like. But I have a mountain of questions……

「Why am I the only one here?」

「When you were about to be summoned, I interfered and called you temporarily. Mainly, because there are things I want to talk to you about. And I’m a real G.o.d.」

「I’m temporarily in this different s.p.a.ce… …can I somehow prevent the summons?」

「Well. Summons possessed a very strong coercion force. Originally, even temporary interference is not possible… …you see, because it’s the great me, it’s possible. Unfortunately, I can’t get you back to your original world. I apologize.」

「No, it’s not you old man who summoned me. So, don’t apologize.」

However, summoned in a different world?… …come to think of it, mother often talks about different world that she often read in the net, I felt nostalgic for some reason. Though her expression doesn’t change, I understand. Is it because we are parent and child? She enthusiastically explained to me about different world. I didn’t take it seriously back then because I thought it was just a fiction. Did my mother know something about the different world, by any chance?

「Your mother also went to the different world. Perhaps, came back to her original world is more fitting.」

「… …Wa?」

「Well. It’s one of the  things I want to talk to you about. Your mother is from the different world Asgard. That child gave birth to you in Earth and somehow got access to return back to the different world.」

Eeeeeeeeee!?

The most shocking revelation!!

What? Then, my mother voluntarily returned her original world? So, that’s why no matter how much I searched, I didn’t find her… …she can move back and forth from earth to different world so easily!

「Don’t misunderstand though, she didn’t really want to return to her original world. There’s a miracle called (Spirited away) that occurs in s.p.a.ce. There’s a probability of a person encountering (Spirited away) in Asgard, when that happens he will be thrown to Earth similarly there’s also a probability of encountering it in earth and conversely he’ll be thrown to Asgard. Though I want to preach the person who came up with such a name, it’s not really related to me. The G.o.d of Earth must be bewildered too5.」

The old man said that there’s a probability in both earth and Asgard for the miracle (Spirited away) to occur. For my mother to be caught in the miracle (Spirited away) twice, what kind of probability rate it has?……

「The most pitiful is a person who was thrown from Asgard to Earth. Because there are various problems such as census in Earth… …He’d unreasonably die in mayhem. It brings a lot of trouble to the G.o.d of Earth in order for them to a.s.similate well in Earth…… your mother lived with an old couple who doesn’t have a child to gradually adjust. Only, I didn’t expect the personality of the old couple. I apologized to the G.o.d of Earth because of it. I may be the G.o.d of Asgard but I’m very humble. I don’t mind about doing those little things. HOHOHO.」

「The G.o.d of Earth bore a lot of burden, huh……」

Still, for my grandparents to be not the real parents of mom… they embezzled all the money left by mom and spend it like water in panc.h.i.n.ko6, sake and horse racing……

But, that doesn’t really matter now. Perhaps, I won’t be able to return to Earth again.

However, I can’t fully grasp this reality yet. I wonder if I would get a special ability after I get to the world over there. Hm? I’m in the presence of the old man G.o.d presently…… because it’s slightly long let’s call him grandpa G.o.d from now on7. My summoning is delayed because of my talk with grandpa G.o.d but how are the others? Now way, I don’t like the sound of appearing last…… I would absolutely stand out. The same pattern all over again.

「Grandpa G.o.d?… Well, it’s fine. You don’t have to worry about the other side, it’ll be alright. Because time doesn’t flow in this spatial tea-ceremony room.」

Grandpa G.o.d. You’re reading my mind without permission since a while ago, please stop it. It would be the worst if grandpa G.o.d read my mind and I’m imagining something erotic……

A spatial tea-ceremony room that doesn’t have a concept of time. Amazing! Grandpa G.o.d, indeed! I’m now recognizing you as a genuine G.o.d.

「If I didn’t told you that story, you wouldn’t sincerely believe me?……」

「I’m sorry… …Well, I want to ask, you’re calling my mother ‘child’, are you acquainted with each other?」

「Well. Rather than that child, your father helped me in various ways.」

「You mean, my dad is a human from Asgard too?」

「Rather than human…… he’s an angel. Your mother is a human and your father is an angel which means you’re half angel, half human. In other words you’re of the celestial race.」

……N?

Grandpa G.o.d started to speak language I don’t quite understand plus……

My father’s an angel? On top of that, when he said those words, it’s not audible for a human being.

「Simply put, you’re a human with angel’s blood mixed in your veins but you don’t have to worry because you’re still a human.」

「I’ve been surprised so many times since I came into this s.p.a.ce……」

If my emotions can been seen on my face like a normal human being, the look would be funny.

「You were able to live properly on Earth as a human being, no?」

「Well… if they got my blood sample in the hospital and they found out that it was not of a human’s then it would become a major incident. I would likely get taken away by some organization and be recognized as an unidentified biology……」
