Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V6 Chapter 05

Chapter 05: “Isn’t This a Descent?” ①

Natsuki, breathing softly in his sleep, was dreaming.

He stood in a sea of shining stars.

All around him—nothing but countless, glittering lights.

“—Yura…”

He thought he heard a voice.

“—Yura, Natsuki-kun.”

No way…

His heart started pounding.

Excitement—mixed with a hint of unease—filled his chest.

Behind him, a brilliant light shone down.

Natsuki was certain.

“—Great Kappa God!?”
“—W-Who even is that!? Was there ever a god like that!? No, you’ve got it wrong—I’m everyone’s God!”

When he turned around, there stood God, glowing with a divine aura.

As usual, Natsuki could tell it was a humanoid figure, but the face remained impossible to recognize.

“…Tch.”

More than anything, Natsuki—who had been convinced the Great Kappa God had descended—clicked his tongue in disappointment.

“Ahh! You just made a very disappointed face and even clicked your tongue at me!?”
“…What is it, God?”
“Wow, that’s such an unmotivated tone. I thought you’d be happier to see me… God is sad.”
“Yeah, yeah, skip that. More importantly, don’t just show up in my dreams! Doing whatever you want like this is a problem, okay!? This is a violation of privacy!”
“My apologies. However, I do have something I need to discuss.”
“You can meet me in the real world, and you’ve got my contacts too, don’t you?”
“You seem quite busy, Natsuki-kun. This is God’s way of being considerate—meeting you in your dreams.”
“If you’re gonna be considerate, then let me sleep properly! I won’t recover from fatigue like this!”
“It’s fine. I’ll heal you with God power.”
“That doesn’t fix mental fatigue!”
“Be that as it may—”
“Be that as it may!?”

God completely brushed off Natsuki’s complaints.

No matter how much he protested, God had already descended into his dream, so Natsuki let out a big sigh and gave up.

“…So, what do you want?”

“First of all, good work on your battle with Ibaraki Doji.”
“Ah, yeah… thanks.”

Natsuki had no idea why he was being praised for that.

“To be honest, it seems one of the new gods tampered a bit with Ibaraki Doji.”
“New gods… ah, you mean Ai-chan?”
“That’s right. Ai-chan, the goddess of love. And the one who interfered with Ibaraki Doji was the god of despair… he calls himself Zekkun.”

“…Wait, a god who wants to create a new mythology is seriously going with a name like that? What happens if that name ends up in legends?”
“…Who knows. Even God doesn’t really understand them.”
“You’re not all-knowing and all-powerful?”
“Even being all-knowing and all-powerful, there are things I don’t understand.”

If even God didn’t get it, then there was no way he would.

Natsuki decided to just accept that and move on.

Whatever those gods chose to call themselves wasn’t his problem anyway.

“As for the power of the Hero of the Sea—if you misuse it, the one who will suffer is you, Natsuki-kun. So be careful. Poseidon and Susanoo have probably already told you this, so I’ll leave it at that.”
“Got it.”

“Now then, let’s get to the main topic. There’s been some movement in that other world—the one you were summoned to. Princess Beatrice Blescott is planning another hero summoning.”
“…Eh? Who’s that?”
“—…Eh?”

Seeing Natsuki’s completely blank expression—like he genuinely had no idea—God was left speechless.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Nacchan seriously doesn’t remember.

We’ll have two updates today as well!
