95-94. Ituna's question



Do you mean the whole world?

 Ituna is horrified by my irreverent declaration.

Does this mean you want to take over the world? As I once did when I played the Demon King.

 Cianne looks at me as if she were searching for the truth.

'No thanks. I'm literally going to take this world with me in my item box.
How is that even possible?

 Sianne shouted and Ituna also covered her mouth. It seems that the two of them never had the idea of an individual possessing the unit of the world.

'I've never done it, though. But the capacity of my item box is infinite, so it shouldn't be impossible to fit it in due to its size. But since it's an item box, only inorganic materials, or items, can fit inside, so it would be impossible to take it with you as is.
'Huh? But we'll be in Mr. Sacagawea's item box while he sleeps, won't we?

 Next to Ituna twisting her head, Cianne snapped her fingers.

'Right, the sealing beads, right? You mean to seal this world in that thing and store it in an item box?
It's a bit like that in terms of the way of thinking. But since it's impossible to put a world in the sealing beads, we need to prepare another method, but........yeah, what to do? I don't know how to destroy the universe, but I don't know how to create it.
Oh, that sounds like Mr. Sacred Heart.

 Ituna laughs at me with ease, but this is quite a challenge.
 I've been summoned by the lowest-ranking cheat reincarnation god to help create a world, but that was just to modify the environment of the planet. As expected of me, I don't have any know-how on how to create a unit of space at all.
 As long as I can create the same environment in my item box as the universe this planet exists in, I think I can handle the rest with a combination of space manipulation cheats.
 If possible, I'd like to be able to carry the entire universe with me without stopping time like the sealing pearl, and without changing the workings of the current world.

Can't Eva do something about it?
Hmmm, that's a bit of a stretch.

 Sianne's line is right on target.
 Ava's galactic tin cane would allow her to transfer this world to the universe she owns. But it's too risky for Eva to know about Tina's existence. Getting her help is a last resort.

 Maybe she couldn't see that I was snarling, but Ituna asked me this.

'Doesn't anyone have a wife who can do that sort of thing?'
'Oh, I see. Then ... oh, no, no. The creation of a cosmic unit is the work of a higher deity. They've all been married and are not on hand.
Why don't we just summon him?
I've told you before I don't take it so easy.

 Sianne is disgusted that the idea was rejected, but this is all trumped up for me, too.
 But it's true that the creation of the universe is a huge undertaking that is under the jurisdiction of the God of Creation. I'm a novice at creating a universe, but that's too reckless, so I'll have to ask for help.

 Ituna, who had been staring blankly at me scratching her head, said these words.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Sakahagi. Then why don't you ask the god of this world to help you?

 ........the god of this world.
 That is to say, Ituna says, why don't you let the creator god himself create a universe for me to carry around in my item box?

I don't think that's going to happen. You're not going to cooperate with me on that... no, wait?

 I almost cowered my shoulders as usual, and then stopped moving at an inspiration that suddenly flashed through my mind.

'I see. That's the way to go.

 A cake is a cake maker.
 The founder of this world is the creator of this world.
 The direction shown by Ituna is correct.
 It's simply that the god of this world has neither the righteousness nor the merit to cooperate with me, but only the disadvantage of having the world taken away from me. 

 Then the answer is simple.
 If he won't cooperate, let him cooperate.

''Don't tell me you're going to bring the world's gods to their knees in a single battle?
'Ha. That sounds interesting too.

 What is the purpose of this creature called the God of Creation, and what does it do to create a world on the stars? From experience, I know this well.
 With candy, whips and me, they're a good enough partner to do business with.

I'm not a god-hater, but I don't have any ties or enmity with them. There's no need for us to make a move on them. But...
If they're playing you, they're not that big of a deal.

 Cianne, who took the butt of my words, smiles wryly.
 Since I was in a position of being hostile to God from the beginning, is it more tactless to say that I shouldn't be flattered by this development?

''But how can we talk about it?''
'Of course you do. You have to make an offering to God.

 I grinned back at Ituna, who looked at me blankly.



 For the next week or so, I worked on family service at the Wings of the Nest.
 I cooked, washed the laundry, and wrestled with Tina late at night. Generally, I was able to get back to the old cycle.
 Oh yeah, I also reconnected with some old friends from the inn town. Evan the mayor, Philip the cleaner, Billy the woodsman, Lisa the town girl, Herman the town doctor, Anna the hunter, and Kenneth the drunk. They're all good guys. Of course, I've already used a hypnotic spell to keep them quiet about Shinji being my child.

 Stella has been playing with Shinji instead of me. I'm sure Shinji has grown quite fond of her, and at the dinner table, he keeps saying, "I'm going to marry Stella-onee-chan. But sorry son, that 10-year-old sister of yours is already my wife.
 By the way, if you believe Stella and Shinji's story, it seems that the two of them were having an extraspace spectacular adventure riding on a kaiyo-fish to hush up the witches that ruled the dreamland. Tina smiles, "That's good," and it must have been a dream.

I'm home!

 In the meantime, I've asked Ituna and Sianne to go to the temple of this supreme deity in the capital to pay their respects with the offerings I've prepared for them.
 It's now time for Ituna to return from the capital after finishing her errand.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time. How did it go?
Yeah, I gave you something for it!
I don't think I'm seeing Cianne.
You see, Sianne wants to visit the capital.

 .........Oh, I'm sure it's tourism with the blood of some hoodlums in it.
 Ituna, who didn't seem to notice such a thing at all, was giving me an aura of praise, so I patted her head.

"Heh heh.

 Oh, it's so peaceful. Is this what peace is all about?
 And to make sure this scene doesn't happen to Tina and Shinji, he's going to greet Ituna at the back of the house, and he's also going to set up a warding system in his own domain. If you're not careful, an event like the first day will occur through the intervention of the stars.

"Well, now all we have to do is wait for contact from the other side.
'Really? I thought you didn't solve the item box problem.
'Yeah nya. I told my wife who made the sealing beads and she gave me a prototype. That should do it.
'What! I wanted to see you.

 I shook my head at Ituna, who clammed up.

'Sorry about that. I'm sorry, but she's shy, so she basically only meets me. If you can't get along with him, then you shouldn't meet him, otherwise you'll fall under the harem rule.
Bad luck. By the way, Mr. Sacagawea.
What?

 Ituna changes the subject abruptly and I brace myself a bit. It's because at times like this, Ituna gets to the point of things.

'Forget about this world, you see. I was wondering what you're going to do about the pledge.
You can't do that.

 I sigh at the proposed question.

'I'm not going to come forward to me,'
Why?

 Ituna tilts her head a little bit as usual.
 What is reflected in her eyes is a simple question without any implications, without any mixture.

'Because ... you know that. My hands are too stained with blood. I'm not a man who cares about killing. A man like that has no qualifications to be a father.
The reasoning behind it sounds very plausible, but it's not like you, Mr. Sakahagi. The fact that Mr. Sakahagi, who has accepted and swallowed all the bad things that happen to him, is hesitant about such a commonplace moral principle is something that doesn't sit well with me.

 ...That's Ituna indeed.
 It's not a bad idea.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them. You will be able to see that there is a lot of work to be done in this area. It's not because of that, but in order to avoid hurting Tina, I understand that you don't want to tell her about the harem. But I don't understand why you don't do the same for Shinji. I think the usual Mr. Saka-hagi would be able to hide his true nature and play the role of the father that he admires,

 If someone else said this to me, that would be the one I would beat up, young and old alike.
 Is this also the work of Ituna?
 It was as if she was stepping into the depths of my heart with her feet, but I couldn't help but feel angry.
 No, I can't make myself angry.
 Is it really possible for another wife, even Eva...to do that?

'I'm sorry for being so cocky. I simply felt that way and I don't want to interfere. So don't look so lonely........

 I wonder if Ituna was aware of this and apologized for it.

'No, it's fine,'

 I know I don't mean any harm.
 Ituna is always like this.
 She confirms exactly what I am turning away from.
 I don't know what to say about a girl like that, but....

Then I'll go in from the front as a guest........
Yeah, you're on it.

 Where is his usual vivacious energy?
 I muttered to myself as I watched him slumping backwards, his shoulders slumping.

I don't know. You must have looked a lot sadder than you do.

 The line drifted to the wind and never reached Itsuna.
