I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 213 - It Seems Like She's Usually Asleep

Kuro, who came to stop Fate-san’s rampage…… and beat her up, leaving after making Fate-san look like a rag, and Alice disappeared as well.

Fate-san, who looked like she was tragically torn apart, was lying on her stomach in front of Chronois-san and I.

[……I’m sorry I was born.]

[………………..]

She’s already in tatters…… Well, since it’s Fate-san, I bet she will become lively again……

Thereupon, Chronois-san looks at Fate-san and lets out a sigh before turning to me.

[Now then, let’s head to God of Life’s temple next.]

[……Wait…… God of Time and Space? You have no reaction? Ignoring me when I’m in this state?]

[Unnn? Just go do your job.]

[Wait right there! I’m coming with you!!!]

Hearing Chronois-san amazedly tell her that, Fate-san quickly gets up and declares…… She became lively really quickly huh.

[It’s not like we would need more people just to show him around.]

[Aaaahhhh!? You’re just trying to get Kai-chan all to yourself, and you see the chance, you’re planning to become his fourth lover!!!]

[Like heck that’s the case! You fool!!!]

[Anyway, I’m still coming with you! I won’t do my job! Yes, it’s already decided!!!]

[……You……]

Completely returning to her usual tune, Fate-san lightly shakes her finger and making a cushion out of nowhere. Fluttering on her cushion, she follows me and Chronois-san.

It seems that Chronois-san knows that persuasion is impossible when it comes to this kind of situation, as they have known each other for a long time, so she just lets out a big sigh again, her shoulders drooping down.

[……However, you see that. The Underworld King is scary…… She beat me up until I’m on the brink of dying, and after completely healing me, she beat me up again…… She’s a demon……]

[How many times did she heal you?]

[……48 times…… Halfway through, I was beginning to think that she should just kill me……]

[You reap what you sow though……]

It seems that Kuro was quite angry, as she beat her so much that it feels more like torture.

Well, she did say “The next you do this again, I won’t forgive you.” before, and for this case, I’m pretty sure that Fate-san just got what she deserves.

Well, I’m absolutely 100% sure…… that she won’t learn from this……

[Hey, Kai-chan. Console me…… Just a gentle hug is fine, okay~~?]

[Mnhh? Underworld King, you’re back?]

[Phiiii!? W- W- Where!? Where’s the Underworld King!?]

Apparently, Fate-san is completely traumatized by Kuro, and she looks around with a pale look on her face when she hears Chronois-san’s lie.

[……wait, I don’t see her at all though!?]

[Fumu, I could use this……]

[God~~ of Time~ and Space~~!

[Well, my bad. However, you should reflect a bit more.]

After leaving Fate-san’s temple, we came next to Life-san’s temple.

The exterior appearance of the temple looked exactly the same as Fate-san’s temple, but once we went inside, beautiful flowers and trees that looked like ornamental plants were lined up on both sides of the wide corridor, and the gorgeous beauty of the place caught my attention.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I have talked with Life-san much yet…… I met her once before, and from the way she greeted me, she seemed like a calm, capable woman.

[Hey, God of Time and Space…… She would be asleep anyway, so why did we even come visit here?]

[……I know she would be, but we can’t just not visit her, right?]

She would be asleep anyway? What do they mean? Does that mean she’s sleeping around this time?

[Speaking of which, why did Kai-chan come to the God Realm? No, well, as far as I’m concerned, I really welcome it.]

[Errr, I was invited by Shiro-san.]

[Shallow Vernal-sama did? That means Kai-chan is going to the Sanctuary huh…… As expected of Kai-chan, that’s a great achievement. Hey, God of Time and Space, wouldn’t he be the first Human to enter?]

[Umu…… Or rather, other than ourselves, it would only be the Underworld King who entered that place.]

[As I thought~~ We mediated at that time with “Hikarin”, so there haven’t been any Humans who entered the Sanctuary before.]

It seems that Shiro-san’s Sanctuary really is a particularly sacred place in the God Realm, and no Human has ever entered it.

Perhaps, when Fate-san said Hikarin…… I think she was talking about Neun-san, and it seems like even the First Hero, Neun-san wasn’t able to enter the Sanctuary.

As we talked about this, we continued down the hallway and stood in front of a large door, and as we stood in front of it, Chronois-san knocked and called Life-san’s name…… However, we received no response.

[……For the time being, how about we go enter?]

[Right~~]

[Eh? Are you sure?]

[Unnn, she’s probably asleep anyway……]

Apparently, the both of them already expected the lack of response, and as they opened the door, we walked in.

I was somewhat bewildered when I followed them, but when I entered, I saw a large room decorated with a variety of plants.

In the middle of the calm, nature-oriented room…… a familiar green-haired woman, Life-san, was comfortably standing in the middle of the room…… but her eyes weren’t open.

[Oi, God of Life, we have a guest.]

[……zzz…… zzz…….]

[……Well, I knew it. I knew there’s no way that the God of Life would be awake.]

Eh? She was sleeping while standing like that? I don’t know if I should praise her or not…… but Life-san is quite skillful.

As Chronois-san shook her body, there wasn’t any sign of Life-san waking up.

[……It’s not working.]

[I told you it’s impossible, there’s no way the God of Life is going to easily wake up once she falls asleep…… Come on, let’s go.]

[Ahh, then, I’ll just say my greetings……]

Apparently, it’s extremely difficult to wake Life-san up once she’s fallen asleep, as both Chronois-san and Fate-san shook their heads.

But even so, since we’re here anyway, even though she’s sleeping, I think I should at least greet her, so I approached Life-san and spoke.

[Life-san, hello.]

When I spoke to her, not too loudly, but just in a normal volume, Life-san opened her beautiful lapiz lazuli eyes and calmly smiled.

[Hello, Miyama-san.]

[……What?]

[……The God of Life…… woke up?]

Life-san easily woke up when I called out to her, making me wonder why they’re having difficulty waking her up just now, but I heard Chronois-san and Fate-san’s surprised gasps.

I didn’t think this was going to happen myself, so I can’t help but be speechless…… But with a gentle smile on her face, Life-san continued.

[I see you’ve come to visit the God Realm. My apologies, I was doing my daily “meditation”, so I was late in noticing your calls.]

[Eh? Ah, yes……]

[……That’s one way of putting it.]

[……Even though she’s just sleeping……]

Hearing Life-san’s words, Chronois-san and Fate-san said something that I felt I’ve heard somewhere before.

However, Life-san doesn’t seem to be particularly bothered by them, and still had a gentle smile on her face.

[It’s a great honor to see you again. Thank you so much for fulfilling Shallow Vernal-sama’s wishes the other day. As a member of the Gods, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.]

[N- No, that is……]

[……Amazing. God of Time and Space…… The God of Life looks like a decent God.]

[……She certainly looks like a different person, isn’t she?]

I also heard that kind of conversation before.

It seems that Life-san’s current state is unbelievable to both of them.

[Miyama-san, if you have some time to spare, it may be simple, but do you mind having some tea with me?]

[E- Errr…… As much as I’d like to do that, Shiro-san has called me, so I can’t stay too long……]

[I see, you’re going to Shallow Vernal-sama’s home huh…… Well then, if Miyama-san is fine with you, how about I also go with you?]

[ [ …………..Eh? ] ]

When Life-san offered to accompany me just like Fate-san did, I heard Chronois-san and Fate-san’s voices from behind.

When I glanced towards them, both of them looked dumbfounded, as if to say they had seen something unbelievable.

[……God of Life, what brought that change of attitude? For you to leave your temple on your own accord…… Or rather, isn’t your attitude to Miyama different from the others?]

[What are you talking about? Miyama-san is the one who received Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessing, right? Then, it is only natural that he should be treated with utmost courtesy as if we’re before Shallow Vernal-sama herself. It isn’t strange for me to accompany such an important guest in the God Realm…… So that I could respond in case of unforeseen circumstances.]

[Mnhh, mnhhh…… T- That’s certainly true……]

[It’s the first time…… I’ve seen God of Time and Space get silenced by God of Life with a good argument before.]

What is this? Maybe it’s because I don’t know Life-san on a regular basis but…… Doesn’t she have the impression that seems like a woman who would take matters to her own hands?

The way Chronois-san and Fate-san spoke though, it seems like she’s different from usual……

Just as I was thinking about this, Chronois-san put her hand over her mouth with a serious expression and muttered something, then, she turned towards me.

[……Miyama…… As I thought, how about you go live here in the God Realm instead? I will provide you with food, clothing, shelter and a gold coin a day for your salary…… All the work you need to do is just tell God of Fate and God of Life to do their jobs once a day!]

[……………….]

Seriously, how troubled is this person usually? She’s even willing to pay a million yen just to hire me…… It seems that it’s a really serious problem. I kind of feel like crying for her when I heard that……

Dear Mom, Dad——- After Fate-san’s temple, we came to Life-san’s temple as well. Life-san seems to be a woman who got herself together in front of me, but according to the two other Supreme Gods——- It seems like she’s usually asleep.
