Chapter 1960: Neo Baby Castella Blend ⑫
Having checked Shea-san’s schedule, I arrived at the Middle-level of the God Realm———- the area where High-ranking Gods reside. It’s a location I surprisingly don’t visit often.
Although it has served as the venue for the White God Festival, I usually go to the upper level or to the Sanctuary, so opportunities to visit the Middle-level are rare. The number of High-ranking Gods is small compared to the vastness of the Middle-level, allowing them to use the land quite luxuriously. It seems that the High-ranking Gods build their temples in places of their choice.
However, Shea-san is originally a direct subordinate of Fate-san, so, like other direct subordinates, she has the right to build temples or the like in the Upper level, but it seems she prefers to live in the Middle-level.
Since the teleportation location I registered here in the God Realm was on the Upper level, we’re meeting up there. When I arrived after teleporting, Shea-san was already there.
[Hello, Shea-san.]
[Hm? Ahh…… Welcome.]
Since the recent improvements in Fate-san’s work situation, Shea-san has stopped clicking her tongue when meeting me, indicating an increase in favorability.
In fact, since Fate-san started working, Shea-san’s attitude towards me has noticeably softened, and I can feel the rise in her favorability. Looking at it the other way though, it seems she must have been quite troubled by Fate-san before then…… Previously, even though she understood I wasn’t at fault, her frustration from her own difficulties was palpable……
[I’ve already informed you about it via hummingbird, but I’ve brought with me a sample from Kuro’s company.]
[Sorry for the trouble, and thank you….. Well, standing around chatting is a bit much. Shall we move to my place?]
[Yes. Shea-san’s house is in the Middle-level, right?]
[My temple is technically in the Upper level, but that’s for work. My private space for relaxation is in the Middle-level. As a god, I don’t sleep and that’s not a place for me to stay overnight, so I didn’t use it much before…… Well, I didn’t have the luxury to use it……]
Previously, because Fate-san was always slacking off, Shea-san was almost constantly overwhelmed with work. Moreover, after I appeared, Fate-san started escaping from the God Realm even more under the pretext of meeting me, so all the burden fell on Shea-san. It’s no wonder she wanted to complain to me when we first met.
[Thinking of it that way, that means you have quite a bit of leeway now, right?]
[Unn, well, just having God of Fate-sama working regularly makes a huge difference. In fact, recently I’ve had so much extra time that I’ve been setting up furniture and fiddling with the house’s interior. Well, I truly owe it all to you…… I’m really grateful.]
[Rather, saying it like that makes me wonder how bad it was before…… w- well, I’m glad to hear that.]
She really must have had a hard time. Judging by how her attitude towards me has softened, it really feels like I can sense the extent of the hardships she endured before.
The place we arrived at by Shea-san’s Teleportation Magic was a relatively small house. It was spacious enough for one person, but considering Shea-san’s position, it seemed rather small…… Well, since she’s got a separate temple for work, this might be sufficient for personal use.
[……I mean, the atmosphere here is different from other buildings in the God Realm. It’s made of wood.]
In the God Realm, houses are typically made of stone or a material resembling white marble…… many of them matching the image one might have of a temple…… I mean, almost all buildings are like that.
On the other hand, Shea-san’s house is wooden, and the interior has a cozy feel to it, a place that really felt like someone lived in, which might be quite rare in the God Realm.
No, well, speaking of the places the Gods lived in that I know of, I could only think of the Supreme Gods’ temples and Sanctuary……
[Well, I’m a bit of an oddball among the Gods. Nowadays, Gods have started visiting the Human and Demon Realms more often, so this might be the case at the moment….. but perhaps, as time goes by, there will be others who build houses like mine.]
[I see, the God Realm is undergoing changes as well……]
Shea-san’s expression as she spoke was somewhat pleased, and it seemed like she was happy to see the changes happening among the Gods.
Serious-senpai : [Her attitude towards Kaito has visibly softened, and you can sense her favorability increasing.]
