Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V3 Chapter 02

Chapter 02: “Finally Meeting God?” ②

“…Eh?”

When God called himself an idol, Natsuki couldn’t help but let out a strange noise.

“Hou? You’re the first one to react like that in front of me.”

“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean to mock you. It’s just, you’re God, right?”

“No worries, I’m not blaming you. It’s quite refreshing, actually.”

“Ah, sorry about that. I’m Natsuki Yura. Nice to meet you. I’ve been getting along with Koume-chan! I’ve also met Satan-san, Lucifer-san, Alphonse-san, and Michael-san.”

“It seems so. Were they good encounters for you?”

“Yes!”

Natsuki’s clear response seemed to make God, who was as dazzling as ever and hard to see, smile gently.

“That’s great to hear. Please take good care of Koume-chan. Taichiro and Pureheart are a bit overprotective, so Koume-chan hasn’t even thought about marriage, let alone found a good match. If someone like you is by her side, that’s reassuring for me.”

“I’ll do my best!”

Natsuki, wanting to get along well with Koume, straightened his back.

Being a middle schooler, he couldn’t come up with clever things to say and felt a bit regretful inside.

“Yes. ―Now, there are several reasons why I called you here, Natsuki-kun. But before we go into that, is there anything you’d like to ask me?”

Natsuki thought that God was giving him a chance. 

Without hesitation, he expressed his gratitude and then asked,

“Thank you. So, why was I summoned to another world?”

God, without pausing or showing surprise, answered Natsuki’s question. 

“You might not like this, but there is no specific reason.”

“Eh?”

“You were chosen by the holy sword of another world, that’s one reason. Originally, you were a hero, that’s another. But were you asked to save the world as a hero, and did you?”

“No.”

“The one who summoned you to another world was a human, not the supreme god of that world.”

“Then why?”

“The reason—perhaps, you’ll find it in your life from now on.”

“What do you mean?”

“There’s a word called ‘fate’, but your fate isn’t fixed. The future is always uncertain. You were summoned to another world and returned with powerful abilities without undergoing any mutations. It’s like a miraculous tale. If there comes a time when you feel it was good to have these powers, then perhaps all the hardships were for that reason.”

“And if I never feel it was good?”

“Well, in that case, let’s think together about what the reason might have been.”

God’s answer was vague, not what Natsuki had hoped for. 

But he hoped that someday, he would feel grateful for having the hero’s powers.

“No, I already feel grateful for having the hero’s power.”

“Really? That’s interesting. Can you tell me more?”

“I met everyone. Koume-chan, Ginko-san, Jack and Nancy, Satan-san, Lucifer-san, Alphonse-san, Michael-san, Tsukuyomi-sensei, and Amaterasu-sama. I also met the people of the Minazuki family, Samatan, Mammon, Ren-kun, and even you, God.”

“―You are a more wonderful boy than I imagined.”

Though God was still blindingly radiant, his smile came through.

“It’s great to hear such a wonderful story, but it’s hard for me to say this—would you like to join me in destroying the other world where you were summoned?”

〜〜Afterword〜〜

It was a good story, but God, really…

The reasons for Natsuki’s summoning are vague, but it’s not about divine mistakes or getting caught up in them.

It would be nice if we could talk to the person who summoned him.

If you enjoyed this, please follow, review, and comment. It’s very encouraging!

Thank you very much!

―Meanwhile, with Mammon and Samatan.

Mammon: “Samael-sama! Can I make curry in the video? I’ll make a great curry with Samael-sama’s apples, mammon mammon!”

Samatan: “Idiot! Who puts apples boldly into curry? Are you out of your mind? You’ll get us killed!”

Or so they might have been bantering.
