Chapter of the week: 1/2 Translator: Reizenchuu Editor: Kenny Stryker

After returning home, I handed over the shopping bag to my mom and went to my room to call Lina on her phone.

Whoa, I have never been so happy to enter my own room.

I purposely left the air conditioner on before I went out, so when I came back, it was already cool. though, I also feel refreshed when I enter a cool place after being in a hot weather. As I was enjoying the coolness in my room, Meru called me to remind me of the idea she proposed earlier.

Master, are you going to call Lina-sama? Hm? Ah, yeah, I will do that now.

As told by Meru, I took out my phone and called Linas phone number.

*Beep, Beep*

I placed my phone near my ear and waited for her to respond, but the phone kept ringing without a sign of someone answering the call. After a short while, I decided to call her again by ending the current call, but at that moment, the ringing sound stopped and switched to Linas flustered response.

H-Hello!

Her voice tone that reached me from the phone was trembling.

What happened to her? She doesnt usually talk so loudly. I considered to ask her about it, but immediately changed my mind. I had a more important matter to talk about now.

Hello, Its me. Did I call you at wrong timing? You took a while to answer the phone. N-No, Im fine. Im just not used to this phone yet.

Yeah, the place where she came from doesnt have phones. It cant be helped. I found her excuse plausible, however, Lina continued.

B-Besides, this is the first time Im talking using a phone, so I got a bit confused.

This time her loud voice tone changed into a shy one. It was exactly as she said; I never saw Lina talking on a phone either. We talk directly when were in school, and even if we are not, we usually exchange only mails. She probably doesnt have many people to whom she could talk in phone. Listening to her little awkward remark, I thought of giving her an advice.

You dont have to get so nervous. You are already used to telepathy, arent you? Phone calls are similar to that of telepathy. Dont let a mere phone call intimidate you. Yeah, youre right.

Listening to my advice, Linas flustered voice tone started to subside. She then cleared her throat and asked me in a normal way.

So, why did you call me out a sudden? Ah, yeah, about that, actually

Intentionally leaving a short gap in my words, I then spoke the name of the person I wanted to ask about.

This could be pretty abrupt, but, do you know a God with the name of Scala?

*Crack*

The moment I asked her about it, I heard a sound of something breaking from the phone. Wait, what just happened there? Confused from hearing a sound of something getting broken into pieces, I suddenly heard Linas voice that sounded nervous in a different and unusual way now.

Y-You! What did you just say I just asked you; do you know a God named Scala? Where did you hear that name!?

Exuding a ghastly aura, Lina shouted. I wonder what made her lose her composure this much. I distanced the phone from my ear, waited for Lina to finish screaming, then told her about what happened.

I heard it from that very person. You met her!? Did you just say that you met her!?

Unlike the way I calmly spoke, Linas spoke with a trembling voice as she wasnt expecting me to have already met Scala. Her flustering attitude was far from being normal.

AH! What should we do!? What should we do!? Should I report this to Metron-sama? Or should I send a request for assistance first?!

I could tell Lina was already at the end of her wits even though we were only talking via phone. Is this Scala that dangerous? I couldnt shake off this faint feeling of worry after seeing Lina acting in a way Ive never seen before. For now, lets calm her down.

Hey, Lina. Are you okay? Lets calm down first. Eh? Ah, aah, my bad. I lost my cool for a while there.

Regaining her composure after hearing my call, Lina took a deep breath and settled down. Waiting for a short while, I finally asked her for some details.

So, whos this Scala? She told me that shes a God.
