It was the day before the White God Festival, the first festival to occur in the God Realm, and the Gods were doing their final checks.
The checks went without a hitch as they had spent a lot of time preparing for this event, and just as the three Supreme Gods were assembling the Gods to tell them what to expect tomorrow, Chronois spoke, as if she’s muttering to herself.
[———–Understood. Well then, I’ll have it arranged that way.]
The nearby Fate and Life sensed that Shallow Vernal had given her some kind of instruction, so they quieted down the other Gods and waited for Chronois’ words.
Thereupon, she looked at the assembled Gods and told them Shallow Vernal’s instructions.
[I’ve just received instructions from Shallow Vernal-sama. During tomorrow’s White God Festival, when Miyama’s group arrives at the middle level, God of Sky will serve as their guide!]
[Eh!? M- Me!? Not one of the Supreme Gods?]
The instructions given by Chronois were more astonishing to Sky than anyone else. From her perspective, she had no idea why she was being nominated.
Being the guide for Kaito, he who is extremely important for the God Realm…… There shouldn’t be any reason why she should be the one to do this, instead of Kaito’s friends, Chronois and Life, or even Fate, his lover.
Still, being that the Supreme Gods would be focusing on this festival, she could understand why they’d be managing it and was unable to guide him, but even if they had to choose among the high-ranking Gods, God of Disasters, who is friends with Kaito and had the highest position among the high-ranking Gods, would normally be the first choice.
(Of course, as long as Shallow Vernal-sama commands it, there’s no way I would refuse. I’m sure Shallow Vernal-sama had some deep thoughts in mind when she deliberately nominated me instead of God of Disasters.)
Although she was surprised, she’s still a God. Shallow Vernal’s words were absolute for her, and even though she was confused, God of Sky agreed to guide Kaito.
Thinking that Shallow Vernal must have thoughts deeper than she could comprehend……
Of course, “there was no deep thought about it”, and she was simply selected from a garapon lottery machine, but she had no way of knowing that.
Sky was both nervous and motivated by the important role she had been assigned, when she felt a hand placed on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw her direct superior, Life, with a gentle smile on her face.
[It’s indeed a great honor to be appointed by Shallow Vernal-sama. Since it’s the excellent you, I’m sure you’ll be able to handle it without any problems, but I wish you’d keep your mind focused on the task.]
[Yes!]
[……Well, of course, I think this isn’t possible. But just in case, I’ll give you a heads up.]
[……Y- Yes?]
As she spoke in a very gentle voice, Life slightly opened her normally closed eyes…… Her lips were smiling, but her red eyes…… weren’t smiling at all.
[If by any chance any carelessness occurs…… I’ll make you believe that “all the pain and suffering” you have experienced in your life has been “an extremely sweet and gentle blessing”…… “I’ll have you personally experience it with that body of yours”…… but I won’t have to worry about that, would I?]
[Hyiiihhh…… Y- Yes!]
Of all the Supreme Gods, Life is the strictest when it comes to matters that may be blasphemous to Shallow Vernal. And this time, Shallow Vernal herself had appointed Sky as Kaito’s guide, so carelessness in this job would be tantamount to smearing Shallow Vernal’s honor.
Therefore, Life’s words weren’t a thread. Knowing full well that this future would definitely occur if carelessness occurs, Sky shakily nodded.
Sky moved away from the group of Gods and with bloodshot eyes, she checked the schedule of the White God Festival over and over again. Seeing Sky like that, Fate, riding on a cushion floating in the air, approached her.
[Oiiii~~, God of Sky.]
[!? God of Fate-sama!? Is there something I can help you with?]
[I thought you were being a bit too worked up. God of Life really is mean. “Threatening you like that knowing that it will never happen”.]
[Eh? Errr……]
