Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and I was out in the garden again, standing by.

　It was another fine day, and Angel and Eliza were watching the situation from a little distance.
　Moreover, Astaroth, whom I called later seven days ago, came out first this time and stood beside Angel and Eliza.

　The sky has changed, all at once a harbinger of divine punishment, a sky of both godliness and disaster.

　And then - the divine punishment descends.

Haaaaah!

　Thrusting up the sword of the sage, receiving divine punishment, transforming in the body -- .

Ugh!
"Dear Alec!
"No, I'm fine. ......

　I gulp down what tastes like blood rising from the back of my throat.
　It felt as if the depths of my body were going to be torn apart.

　God's punishment, it was the same in power as the last one, but the quality--no, the wavelength--was different.
　The previous success was a completely different one, and because of that, the god of creation's power in her body was damaging.

　But...

It's about my threshold!

　Clenching my teeth, I regained the wavelength.
　I, who had become accustomed to pushing the limits with the Mupapato method, soon found the wavelength of divine punishment this time.

　Once I was in tune with it, the rest was the same as before.

　The power of the divine punishment was transmuted through my body and released as the blessings of the earth.

　The same shining magic sphere filled the air around me as before.

Feng ......

　The divine punishment is over, and the sky is back.

"Astaroth
Accept.
Yeah, it's all yours.

　Astaroth, who seems to act like a goddess but a faithful servant and a craftsman.
　She receives the magic sphere I made and leaves in nowhere.

　In their place, Angel and Eliza arrive.

"Master Alec!　Around the mouth.
Hmm?
"Wait!

　Angel hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped around my mouth.
　The handkerchief--no, it smells so good from Angel, it's a little disconcerting.

It's all right now.
"Oh, you have blood on your mouth?

　He showed me his handkerchief and I nodded.
　I thought I'd drunk it all, but I think I was leaking a little.

　Angel wiped it clean.
　Eliza, who had been watching in silence, now speaks to me.

"You did it again.
"Yes.
"It sounds like there was a prank on the level of mischief?
"I don't know if you can call the earth-shattering level a bad struggle,

　The prank was ...... somehow I thought Eliza was right.

But I got it perfectly now. I've learned to change my patterns. I think I'll be better next time.
I'm sure they're gnashing their teeth.
You're prevented.
That's part of it, but you should remember the original story.
Hmm?

　When she tilted her head back, Eliza replied with a scowl.

I was going to kill you, and it turned out to be your good deed. I'm trying to stop you from doing too many good deeds to begin with, but this won't stop you from gnashing your teeth.

　I see.

　I hadn't thought about it, but maybe Eliza was right.

But I'll still do what I want to do.

　　　　　*

　Seven more days later.
　Again, I was waiting in the garden, this time with Angel, Eliza, and Astaroth watching from a little distance.
　And again.

Well, this is it.
"Oh!　I wonder if my brother-in-law is ready for his big day.
"I'd love to see the frustrated face of the bum up there.

　A short distance away, your father and his merry band were having a drink.

　It's no wonder that people hear about them and come over for the third time.

　Well, there's nothing wrong with that, and that's always the case with dads, so I decided to let it go.

　I waited, for the third time - or was it the fourth time?
　I waited for the divine punishment to come.

　I waited for the divine punishment to come. ....... ...
　.............
　...................

　No matter how much I waited, it never came.
　The clear blue sky was gradually turning madder red, but there was no sign of anything, not even a sign.

What's going on?
I knew you were a snob.

　In response to my murmur, Eliza came closer.

"What do you mean?


"I tried to simulate the thinking of a snob in these situations.
"Yes.
"'I won't shoot you anymore, you'll be hated by the people who know the taste of honey and expect it.
"Is that what ...... is all about?
"That's just the way it is. Snobbery. I'm around a lot of snobs.

　So says Eliza.
　You will be able to find a lot of people who have a lot of experience in this field.

Well, that's why it won't happen again unless the situation changes somehow. I can't pile on your good deeds any more, even if I'm doing you a favor.
"I see, that's it.

What, you mean you won't get to see Alec's sunny day?
"What!　Hey f*cking Creator God!　Go ahead and shoot me, you son of a b*tc*.
"Kuhn, you're still a piece of shit.

　It's been a long time since we've had a drink, and your father and his merry band of friends have become an onlooker.

Well, that's just the way it is.

　I suddenly pulled out my wise man's sword and thrust it into the ground.

　I closed my eyes and focused my attention.
　Catch the magic boosted by the Mupapato formula, and amplify it with the sword of the baboon.

　Then, I let it go.

　Shining magic spheres were born from me, one after another, and released.

"Fufu ...... hii-fu-mi ...... yeah, we're pretty much the same in number.

　When I opened my eyes and counted them afterwards, I was relieved to see that it was almost the same number as the last time I converted a divine punishment.

What do you mean?
I made the same one. Originally the power was borrowed, because what I'm doing is what I can do.
"Oh, I see.
"And--

　I looked up at the sky.

　In the next round or so, it's about to become normal and preventable.

　I was a little relieved to see that I had expected it to come up to a level of strength.
