Volume 3 Chapter 7: In the World of the Gods
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The Saint, Hinata, was puzzled by the pure white world.
It was only natural, as when she should have been praying inside the church, she had suddenly found herself in the world of the gods.
Cain, who would never have thought that Hinata would come along with him to this world, also had his eyes widen in surprise.
“Hinata. Do sit down as well.”
Lime, the goddess of life, spoke in a gentle voice to Hinata.
“Th-that voice… don’t tell me…”
Hinata, opening her eyes, looked in the direction the familiar voice had come from. It was the voice that, on rare occasions, the divine commandments came to her in when she was praying by the altar.
Realizing that the people in front of her were gods, Hinata prostrated herself on the spot.
“Hinata, Lime-sama said so too, so let’s sit down, okay.”
Cain said to Hinata, right next to her. Hinata raised her head, and realizing that it was Cain, relaxed a little.
“– – Understood.”
A little fearfully, she sat down next to Cain as he had suggested.
“Your faith has reached us gods. As you were together with Cain this time, we took the liberty of guiding you here.”
“Yes…Lime-sama. I am truly grateful to be provided with such an opportunity.”
Bowing her head deeply, Hinata still had not gotten rid of her nervousness, and listened attentively to every word Lime said.
Cain had been to this world of the gods a number of times now, but as he thought the gods’ faces were a little more tense than before, wondering if something was going on, he too listened to Lime’s words.
“Ah, right. Cain, thanks. Thanks to you, I’m always having fun.”
Grim, the god of skill, interrupted, completely destroying the mood.
He was holding the prototype reversi set in his hands. The one that had disappeared when it had been offered up to the gods.
“Yes, yes, we’re always having fun playing that with Grim. It’s quite the deep game… Currently, I’m at 1140 wins out of 2278 matches.”
Said Panam, smiling, but Grim interrupted.
“No you’re not! We’re supposed to be tied at 1139 wins each!”
Cain couldn’t hide his surprise at hearing that they had played that many matches.
“Couldya be a bit more quiet?”
Zenom, who until now had had absolutely no presence, called out.
“As the weakest of us all, you should just shut your mouth!”
Whether Zenom was the Creator or not, Grim still berated him.
Cain was surprised that the Creator was the worst at reversi.
“Say what! I am simply just holding back for your sakes!”
While the three gods were having an argument, Lime spoke to Hinata.
“Disregard them, please. While you’re on this inspection, your life will most likely be targeted many times. When that happens, you can rely on Cain for help. I’m sure he’ll save you… and then also… let’s go talk in private for a bit, okay?”
Lime stood up, and beckoned Hinata to follow her to a place a bit further away. Hinata did as she was told and went over to Lime.
“Honestly, those guys are hopeless… Anyway, Cain, how’s magic? Do you like it?”
Leno, the god of magic asked Cain while glancing sideways at the three other gods.
“Yes! It’s really fun. Although I can’t really use larger-scale magic, as it causes all kinds of problems…”
“You don’t have to be able to destroy the stars, okay. Although you can probably do quite a lot of things if you don’t adjust your power…”
She had watched Cain very closely before giving him the level ten blessing. From a human point of view, it was more than what was acceptable, but for Leno, level ten was something she would have fun watching over.
“But still, there aren’t that many books on the different types of magic. I read Yuuya-san’s book on emperor-grade magic, but apart from that, there weren’t any…”
Cain had read the book on emperor-grade magic he had been given by the king, and could already use all the spells it contained. However, having been a light novel lover in his previous life, he was greedy for the kind of magic found in them, so he felt a little unsatisfied in this world.
“– – I guess I can’t help it then. Here, I’ll give you this.”
Leno took out a book from her black robes and put it down on the table. It was a huge book, about ten centimeters thick, with a pitch-black binding that was free of any writing.
“This is…”
“– – I think you’ve already guessed, but yes, it’s magic that gods use. In your world, it would be called god-grade magic. However, the things written in there could cause a catastrophe. Or perhaps calling it a natural disaster would be better. Although if it’s you, it’ll probably be fine…”
Cain’s eyes shined as he gazed for the first time at the book of god-grade magic. And not for no reason. In front of him was a book that could be said to contain the very pinnacle of magic in this world.
“You’ll probably also be able to do the things written in there, as you have creation magic, but please be really careful, okay?”
“Yes! Thank you very much. I’ll watch out.”
Picking up and holding the book tightly to his chest, Cain smiled broadly. After all, boys’ curiosity about new things was irresistible.
As the other three gods were still having a roast-battle, they couldn’t really be talked to, but as Leno and Cain were chatting, Lime and Hinata returned. Hinata’s face seemed a bit red, but Cain continued talking without paying that any heed.
And Hinata sat down next to Cain again.
Then, after being admonished by Lime, the other three’s roast-battle ended.
Zenom started talking to Cain with an uncomfortable face.
“That was unbefitting of me… Cain, your power has already entered the realm of the gods, but it’s still not enough. So don’t neglect your training. And then… actually, I’m the best at reversi.”
“You’re still going on about that! You’re a weakling!”
“That’s right! You actually tried to win in our test match just now and failed miserably!”
Zenom’s remark got the other two gods going again.
“Cain, don’t mind them. Protect Hinata. It should be about time now. See you later…”
Just as Lime finished talking, the world was dyed white once again. And before Cain noticed, he was back in front of the altar.
Hinata had returned too, and the two of them looked at each other.
“Cain-sama, you always meet the gods like that…”
“Yeah… although usually they’re more proper than that…”
Cain nodded with a bitter smile at the fact that the gods were quarrelling due to the reversi set he had sent up to them.
Leaving the altar behind them, Hinata asked a sister if they could borrow the reception room for a bit.
The sister was elated to be asked for something by Hinata, who was revered as the Saint, and began to lead the way in high spirits. Following along behind her, she was walking along with such light steps she nearly seemed to be skipping.
Cain and Hinata sat down face-to-face, and, after having brewed some black tea and placed it down in front of both of them, the sister left the room with a bow.
Having confirmed with [Search] that the sister had indeed left, Cain opened his mouth.
“That was really surprising. To think that you would also come along to the world of the gods too, Hinata.”
“It’s the first time I experienced that as well. I pray all the time, and sometimes hear Lime-sama’s voice. I’m really happy I got to meet her in person. This too – – is thanks to Cain-sama.”
Hinata answered, elated at being able to actually meet Lime, from whom she received her divine commandments.
“Then… I’ve been wanting to ask, can anyone other than you tell that I’m an apostle?”
Only a limited amount of people knew that Cain was an apostle of the gods. If someone not among them were to notice that Cain was an apostle, it would turn into quite a large problem.
“That, I do not know. I knew because I could see you letting out a divinely aura. If this country’s bishop didn’t notice, then maybe only the pope would. Although it’s uncertain whether even the pope would notice.”
Hearing Hinata’s words, Cain heaved a sigh of relief. He would never meet the pope unless he went to the Holy Country of Marineford. Although the need for him to go might arise in the future, he currently had no plans on going.
The two of them talked in the reception room for another half an hour, then left the church.
Waiting outside the church, the Marinefordean captain greeted them with an unhappy face.
“You took quite long. I want you to refrain from having secret meetings though…”
The captain complained, cautious of any information that Hinata might divulge.
“I was praying to the gods. You have no right or reason to assume something like that.”
Hinata reproached the captain with a sharp look.
“But Saint-sama… I’m terribly sorry.”
Reproached by Hinata, the captain apologised in a bad mood.
“Don’t apologise to me. Apologise to Sir Silford.”
“But…”
The captain grimaced.
“Saint-sama, please, do not worry about me. The captain was only worried about you after all, Saint-sama…”
Thinking it would do no good to antagonize him even further, Cain told the captain that it was no problem.
The captain was relieved at hearing he didn’t have to apologise, but Hinata continued with a strict expression.
“You are a knight commanded by the gods, no? To have a knight with such a temper serve the church is embarrassing to me as the Saint.”
His face distorted even more at Hinata’s harsh words.
“…Sir Silford, I am really sorry…”
Making an unwilling face, the captain bowed to Cain.
“Captain, I really don’t mind, okay…”
Cain called out to the captain, before boarding the carriage with Hinata.
After the two had gotten into the carriage, when the captain raised his head, his expression was more full of hate than they had ever seen it before.
