A young girl drifting in a culture tank. She is a former evil goddess named Alfia Megas.
　She was currently reading the flow of history from the Akashic Records and analyzing the information.
　In her mind's eye, one of the planets to be managed was being projected in a fast-moving time, and the scene of its steady devastation was playing out. She could see the details of how the four gods had neglected the management of this world.

　When I saw one of the continents rapidly turning into a desert and many living things dying, I was in a state of shock and felt it was a miracle that the world had not been destroyed until now.
　I know that the heroic summoner's magic circle rapidly absorbs and consumes magic power, the energy that supports the world, and stores it to summon again, but even so, there is a limit to how much magic power the summoner's magic circle can absorb.
　In the center of the land where the summoning spell is located, the concentration of magic power is thin because the spell is converging the magic power, but outside of the area, the collected magic power cannot be absorbed and stops there, and the land with high concentration of magic power spreads over a wide area.
　The ecosystem rapidly went haywire, and the plants and animals themselves were transformed into a strong and powerful ecology. This in itself is not a bad thing, but the fact that it took place in just two hundred years makes it problematic and dangerous.
　The organisms that evolved into powerful organisms rapidly increased in number and spread, turning into a battleground for monsters. There is no trace of the ecosystem that existed before the Evil God War.

This is ...... terrible. They're a real pain in the ass.

　A further problem is the effect of the souls of the summoned heroes.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It is like a thin curtain of energy that cannot be discerned even by the naked eye.

　When the heroes are summoned, their bodies are optimized to adapt to this world, but the number of external worlds they are summoned to may be extremely large.
　Some of them are incompatible with this world, and such adjustments must be made by exchanging information between the gods in advance.
　Naturally, it is necessary to fine-tune every detail with the gods of the summoned world.
　They calculate the optimal reinforcement data from the information of each other's world, and readjust the summoning team accordingly. The summoned party also quantifies the bodies of those being summoned in advance, and adjusts them to adapt to the environment of the other world.
　When both parties have finished their preparations, they contact each other, and only after they have filled their magic power do they summon. This is the reason why the heroes are given powerful powers.
　If the heroes can't fight after being summoned, they are in trouble, so they are encouraged to grow in stages by using a level system so that they can endure rapid physical changes, but no such adjustments are being made now. It is in a state of neglect.

I understand that those who sealed me were called in the first mass summoning. But what does it mean that they continued to be summoned after that?　The casualties from these summonses are quite high. I'm not sure what to make of that.

　According to records, only one world is registered as the target world for summoning magicians.
　But in reality, it is opening the way to another external world. I guessed that the system that sets the dimensional coordinate axis each time a gate is opened was broken, leading to a variety of adjacent worlds.
　However, even in such worlds, there are many stars. If the administrators don't report it to the observers at the upper levels, it won't be considered a problem. Moreover, the gate that draws people to this side occurs instantaneously.
　It is difficult to trace a gate that opens at a moment's notice backwards.

No, I'm sure they see it as a problem. Perhaps the problem is that there has never been an observer in this world.

　Yes, the successor to the original observer, [Alfia Megas], was not fully registered as an administrator.
　The world's event management system has been automated, and only an acting administrator has been placed on the sealed planet. The fact that the acting administrator was even more stupid than expected led to further tragedy.
　There was no one to receive the request to report the damage. And here we are.

The Antibody Adjustment Program is eroding this world into an event: ....... I didn't know the spirits of the other world could have such an effect. If we don't revive this soon, the world could collapse sooner than expected. ......

　The level-based environmental adaptation enhancement program was originally intended only for the brave. Normally, the program would be erased upon repatriation and would have no effect on this world.
　However, the souls of the dead heroes were not even retrieved, and the program was not retrieved either, drifting through this world with their souls. Eventually, they become fatal bugs that interfere with events.
　The rapid evolution of plants and animals and the enhancement of their abilities beyond the norm were made possible by defeating the enemy. This means the destruction of the natural order.
　Fortunately or unfortunately, a delicate balance is maintained, and ironically, the level system is the one that adjusts this balance. But it also has its limitations.

In such a short time, the world of the skill-based system will change to a level-based system, which will lead to the self-destruction of life. ....... This can only be described as a nightmare.

　Essentially, this world is a world of only [skills]. In the event that you've got a lot of money to spend, you'll be able to use it for a lot of things.
　This is only an emergency measure for defense.
　In this case, the heroes were summoned during the War of the Evil Gods. This in itself is normal.
　In fact, we can confirm from the records that the event management system returned to normal after Alfea was sealed.
　It imitates that enhanced system by having the souls of the heroes erode into the system. The souls of the heroes whose programs were not erased have turned into bugs and are flowing into the event management system, forcibly interfering with it.
　Since both systems were originally designed to maintain the world, they did not seem to recognize the situation as abnormal.
　The system has been incorporated into all the creatures living in this world.

　The original skill system is a phenomenon that manifests individual talents that cannot be confirmed.
　If you do not continue to train yourself desperately, you will not learn any skills. It can be said that the world is somewhat more advantageous than Earth, but there is not much difference in individual talent.
　Depending on the environment, physical growth would be different from that of people in any world, and even if there were differences in individual abilities, they were still within the range of people.
　Skill corrections are at best only supplementary, and do not have any significant effect.
　In addition, depending on the constitution of the summoned hero, the use of level-up may differ depending on the situation of the event management system of the summoned world even if the level-up is the same.
　The event management system seems to be making adjustments for this. Even so, the burden of adjusting the bodies of imperfect heroes becomes a distortion. Moreover, they are summoned again and again, and each time the heroes are killed. Not only do the souls of other worlds accumulate, but the lack of adjustment makes the bugs even worse. This situation was going on endlessly.
　Even the management system of a single planet could no longer fix the problem in time, and the saturation state was causing a runaway. There was a high probability that this serious system malfunction would eventually spread to other areas. It was only natural that the administrators would not make adjustments.


　It was frustrating that an imperfect administrator with no administrative authority could not interfere.

"At least this dimensional world is now under my control. What are they doing?

　I remember the conversation between the observer terminal from the outside world that appeared in front of Alfea Megas a few days ago, and the agent from the other world who resurrected her.
　It was when he was bored in the incubator, downloading otherworldly games from the Akashic Records.

　The Akashic Records.

　Akashic Records.
The Akashic Records is a tremendously vast database that accumulates information from each dimensional world. It exists in the primordial dimension world and continues to expand infinitely. The information of all dimensions is gathered in one place.
　Access privileges are determined by the ability of the administrator, and Alfea Megas' area of access is much wider and deeper than that of the other gods.
　For example, the spontaneous beings that humans call [gods]. They cannot extract anything but a certain level of knowledge of civilization and technology. They are unable to understand information from other worlds.
　However, observers can obtain a wide range of information from the creation of the universe to the information of each world.
　From the status of various energies flowing through infinite dimensional worlds to predictions of the future on the scale of hundreds of years, nothing is impossible as long as information is obtained.
　It is also possible to reconstruct the world you manage into a world that interests you. There are many other things that can be done, and there is an infinite amount of wisdom that is beyond human understanding.
　What would happen if Alfia, who has no time to spare, could access the Akashic Records?
　The answer is that he has no time, so he plays.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　She was enjoying the retro game from some other world that she had installed in her brain.
　However, even though she is humanoid, she is a kind of supercomputer.
　Games that take humans a long time to play can be conquered by Alfia in a very short time. Even though it is immature, its information processing speed is terribly fast.
　However, as this is no longer interesting, Alfia's information processing ability has been reduced to that of a human. Parallel thinking is used to process the game data and the player's operations separately, but this is a waste of power in the usual sense.

Hmm, what to play next: ....... Online RPGs are boring to play by yourself.
I'm not sure what to do next.　I'm sorry to interrupt your fun, but I'm busy too.
"Who are you?

　Suddenly a voice echoed in my mind. No, it wasn't a voice, but a thought that I instantly recognized.
　I instinctively understood that the owner of the thought was somehow close to me.

"My name is Sawgrass. My name is actually much longer than that, but it's just for convenience.
"So, what can I do for you?　I'm busy working on a stack of games.
"......, you're going to be a reclusive, useless administrator if you keep that up.　Well, I'll leave it at that. I want you to sign a contract. I want you to sign a contract with Mr. Xelloss and Mr. Ad.
"Hmm, Xellos is the one who brought me back to life, isn't it?　Ad is the one who brought me back to life. ...... I'm guessing he's one of yours?　And by contract, do you mean covenant?
I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to do with it. But if you don't, it's going to be too late.

　I had expected observers and administrators to come from the other world, but from the way Soullus was acting, the situation seemed to be quite pressing.
　This is why the protection is so strong.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.　I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but we're running out of time.
It's good that you're so quick to understand. It's good to be speedy. At worst, I don't mind if one planet disappears, but if we don't, other dimensions will be affected. A precautionary measure, perhaps.
"I will not be denied. I'm not going to deny it. We have to stop the runaway and erosion of the antibody enhancement program, and we have to return the spirits of the other world that have stayed here to reincarnation.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
"I heard it was a bad look.

　This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing. That's why he's in this situation, ......" he lamented.
　It must have been an observer he knew well. I was strangely convinced when I heard his answer.

He must have introduced a lot of extraneous factors in an attempt to create a successor to his liking. That's why he failed. ....... He was brilliant, but he was also an idiot.
"Isn't that a contradiction?　But now it's pretty, isn't it?　I'd like to see the Creator's face in regret.
"No, ......, if he saw you now, he'd go crazy and kidnap you. He's an idiot. ......



　It seems that the previous observer had a personality problem.
　However, since the four gods were entrusted to manage him, there is no doubt that he had a big problem with his personality itself. It's too late now.

I'm going to connect your P*ωxσx (unpronounceable) code directly to the Erasers, okay?　The bio-energy that they take in will flow directly into you.
I'm sure you've heard of them.

Erasers, Erasers. They are the "God Killers" that the outside observer sends into the dimension where the problem occurred. The [God Killer] is an assassin who erases the [God] who has neglected or misused event management, and was the strongest trump card sent by the observers.
　Although they are living beings, they have the power to destroy even first-class gods, and they are sent in when the adjacent dimensional world is adversely affected. The rate of increase in ability is greater than that of the heroes.
　In short, they are the same beings as the heroes, but the difference in power is overwhelming.
　After all, they can eliminate any [god] other than the observer. In other words, that's how serious the observers in the outside world are. It would be better to think of it as a kind of vaccine program.
　However, sending in an Eraser is often the worst thing that can happen, and it will not be sent in without the approval of the observers.

That's how serious those idiots were. ......
In other words, they could only send in Eraser. This is the first time that's ever happened, isn't it?
How isolated is this dimension?　Well, I understand. You may begin the link now.
You're a little junior, aren't you?　Let's go. Here we go. ......
"Hongyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"......Oh?

　I didn't notice the two of them talking with thoughts, but Xellos and the others were watching silently beside me .
　And the direct connection of the soul bypass in order to link with Alfea, the effects of which caused severe pain in the body.
　Normally, this is not something that a human can endure, but Eraser is a very different life form from humans. You may faint, but you will not die.
　Soullus was completely oblivious to the fact that the two of them would be in extreme pain due to the direct connection of the spirit body to the Eraser, which had not been done in a long time.

　At any rate, the day when Alfea Megas would be fully restored was near.
　It depends on the fainting old men, but at any rate, the covenant with God has been made.

　The story returns to the present.

　The story goes back to the present again.
　Even though the covenant was made, the Erasers did not move.
　Alfia would have liked to move right now, but with her body in an unstable state, there was nothing she could do. It was a problem that even the four gods could easily defeat her.

"Why don't you move? ....... No, even if they have ridiculous power, they are still human. If you move too loudly, people who don't have anything to do with you or those idiots will notice you. ....... I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　In fact, they are just desperate to deal with the bonds of society.
　In particular, Ado has very little money to live on, and if she doesn't earn it somewhere, she won't be able to revive the [God].
　However, she does not care about such circumstances and is not interested in them.
　If you search the Akashic Records, you can get a general idea of what's going on, but rather than search for trivial things, she chooses to gather information to restore the order of this planet.

The first thing to do is to retrieve the spirit of the other world. ....... If we start from there and try to normalize the system ....... It's a bit of a pain in the ass.

　Now that the covenant has been made, there is no doubt that Xellos and the others will take action.
　For now, I will quietly wait for the time to come and formulate a plan to normalize the world.

I'm sure they'll take action now that the Covenant has been made.

　I had a simple question, but there was no way I could get an answer.

　I was mixing a potion.

　Xellos was mixing a potion, but he wasn't sitting at the table all day.
　He sometimes goes out and works in the fields for a change.

"Rock potatoes, [Porta]. ....... It's been a while since I've seen one of these, though I've never seen a real one.

　This is the rock potato that Ado had us start growing in the Kingdom of Issaras.
　The skin is thick and hard like a rock, but it becomes soft when boiled in water.
　The peeled skin is also a good fertilizer and there is no place to throw it away. The peeled skin is also good as fertilizer and has no place to be thrown away. It is a vegetable that can be used for many purposes in cooking.
　It also has excellent shelf life and can be stored for up to a year without rotting.
　Since it is almost similar to potatoes, I thought I could use it as an ingredient for curry.

"Ah~ ......, why am I working in the field? I... My back hurts.


"Mr. Ad, if you don't work, you don't eat.　Are you just going to sit here and eat and sleep and do nothing?
No, I don't mean to, but we have work to do, don't we?
I'm not going to, but I think we have work to do. Fortunately, this porta can be used in many ways.

　If dried and ground into a powder, it can be used as a substitute for wheat flour.
　In this other world, wheat is grown in paddy fields, and in order to increase the amount of wheat, you have to cultivate more paddy fields. It is not suitable for growing wheat in the plains, but in villages and towns in the mountains.
　But this porta is different.
　In the lower elevations of the world, the climate is milder, and while we can't get sugar like in the cold regions, we can get enough starch as a substitute for wheat.
　If the food self-sufficiency rate increases, it will be possible to support other countries and send food to the Kingdom of Issaras, which is in need of food. The cultivation of porta-potties was also an effective way to strengthen ties between small nations.

I need to make some money. ......
"I need to make money... " "You need food that can be stored in case you run out of money. You need food that can be stored in case you run out.
I know, but isn't it more profitable to kill demons and sell the materials?
I'm not denying it, but mercenary business is not profitable.　If you go to the danger zone, you can get good quality materials, but the risk is too great.
We'll have to kill the demons anyway. There's also the Covenant.

　It was surreal to see the two of them talking seriously while burying the porta-potties in the ground.

"It would be nice if there was a reasonable hunting ground.
It's not as if there's a convenient place for that, since it's so different from Sword and Sorcery.
That's right. You can hunt and fulfill the conditions of the Covenant. There's no place like .......

　And then I remember. And then I remembered that there was a city right above the underground city of Ether Lante, and that there was a reasonable hunting ground there.
　I didn't check it when I discovered Etherrante last time, but above ground it was a city built in the mountains, and it was the best place to earn money in the early stages of Sword and Sorcery.
　Starting from demon materials, mineral resources can be mined. It was also a place where medicinal herbs were abundant and could be sold for a good amount of money.
　In addition, it was a place that was completely closed off in this other world, and there was a high possibility that there were many prey living there to make [Alfea Megas] complete.

"Hey, let's go there, shall we?

　It's as if you're going to the neighborhood to buy cigarettes, and you start thinking about going hunting for demons.
　In any case, the decision was made to go out and kill a powerful demon, and if possible, it would be more efficient to use an evolved demon. Ad and Xellos alone are worthy of being the strongest in this world.
　Even if it takes a bit of time, the complete revival of the [God] must be achieved.

"Mr. Xelloss, may I have a word?
"Oh?　You're Luceris, what's wrong?

　Luceris approached Xelloss with an apologetic expression.
　He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice her approach. If this were a battlefield, it would be a fatal flaw.

I was mixing a potion, but I'm running a little low on materials. ...... If you have any left over, could you sell them to me?
"Well, it depends on the material. What are you lacking?
The root of the snowflake plant. ......
The root of the fever-reducing snowdrops? Unfortunately, I don't have it, so why don't I go and collect it?　It's a good idea anyway.
"Really?　Thank you very much. I was in trouble because I didn't have enough to make a regular medicine.

　At this point, I am not thinking about Ad's convenience.
　Even if Ad refused, the old man would probably go on his own.

"Regular medicine?　Is it a medicine for emergencies?
No, I was thinking of selling it at the bazaar in the square next week. I'm still a skilled apothecary, so I thought I'd sell them to those who need them.
"I heard that the number of farmers growing medicinal herbs has increased recently, and the price has become cheaper. I wonder if the price of medicines has also dropped?
"No, I don't think so.　I've heard that our products are of good quality, so they are sold at a reasonable price. Some people associate medicines with magic potions, but ordinary medicines are more valuable than magic potions.
"Oh, it's a matter of shelf life, isn't it?　However, the bazaar or ...... should stop being a street vendor and let them open a stall. Is it free to participate?
"Yes, it is. If you want to participate, you have to get your spot first thing in the morning, but other than that, there is no set procedure, right?

　Bazaars and flea markets are common in this world.
　Daily necessities. Used clothing is especially valuable, and people sometimes barter for it.
　Clothing requires fabric, but it takes a certain amount of time and effort to prepare raw silk, cotton, linen, and other materials. For this reason, it is common to reuse old clothes.
　Of course, there were also those who sold used daily necessities, and they rarely bought new goods.
　Buying brand-new goods is a financial burden for ordinary people. It is hard to say that life is affluent, but surplus items such as tableware are often sold.

"Mr. Ad, let's make some money, shall we?　Why don't we stop selling at the stalls and join the bazaar?
It's just a different language, but it's not that different. Well, that's fine, we've been planning it for a while. Just don't keep changing the schedule like that.


"In the meantime, I'm going hunting tomorrow. We're going over some mountains, so be prepared for snow fields.
What's with the suddenness?
Strike while the iron's hot, you know?　We don't have time for this.
You've been working in the fields for ...... a while now, haven't you?　You've got plenty of time.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
　And fortunately, he knows Ad's situation well, so he says what he says taking into account the fact that he cannot refuse.

"Are Lisa, Shakti and the others staying?
"We'll be able to defeat most demons, but we don't know what lives in the deep green and untamed areas. We'll be on our own for safety's sake.
The uncharted land is ...... where are you going?
"We're going to collect the roots of the snowflake, right?　It's a mountainous area, of course. There must have been a city right above Ether Lante. I want to actually see and confirm the current state of this world, so let's go and have a look. Let's go hunting!

　I acted on the spur of the moment.
　I had to collect some medicinal herbs that Luceris had asked me to, and at the same time, I had to kill a lot of demons in order to make Alfea complete.
　The old man who tries to do all of that as an afterthought may be impatient.

It's like the pagans who want to wage war and sacrifice the dead to bring back the demon lord. ......
"I think your perception is correct. I think you're right. It's the same thing they're doing, and I feel sorry for the demons that are dying for nothing.
What are you talking about?　Sacrifice?
"Nothing, man.　It's just a moody story. ......

　Two men who accidentally mentioned the process of resurrecting a god and hurriedly misrepresented it.
　It is better not to know anything about God, because it can be dangerous in some cases. It's especially bad for the Four Gods to know.

"So, we can sell the materials for the demons, right?　A chance to make some money?
"Huh?　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.　Ad, are you registered as a mercenary with the guild?
"No, I don't think it's necessary, so I haven't registered. I don't think it's necessary.

　With a few exceptions, the mercenary guild acts as an intermediary between the merchants and the mercenaries, and the materials are sold wholesale to the merchants by deducting a 10% commission from the amount of materials the mercenaries secure.
　Goblins and the like are not worth much, but depending on the demon, you can expect to get rich.
　However, the bigger the monster, the harder it is to kill, and the more wear and tear the mercenaries suffer.
　Well, that's not the case for Xellos and the others.

If you need money, it wouldn't hurt to join a mercenary guild. There are mercenary guilds in many countries, and it can be used as an identity card to travel freely between countries.
　If you want to avoid becoming famous, you can sell a lot of delicate materials.　If you sell too much of it, the price will go down.
"Then it's okay to sell the material in other countries?　Well, we won't sell to Metis, but...
I'm not going to sell to Metis, but it's a neighboring country.　Do you want to go and register?
I'd like to buy a house. I'll earn some money.

　The Kingdom of Issaras is responsible for verifying Ad's identity, but only as a guest.
　If you need to prove your identity, registering as a mercenary is a good idea.

I'll show you around, then. Why don't you sell your magic stones and use them as funds for the time being?
Oh, the magic stones of Gibleys!

　Ad remembered the large number of brown demon stones in his inventory.
　I'm sure they'll fetch a decent amount of money if you sell them.

What's a giveaway?
"The less you know about them, Mr. Luceris, the better. You don't want to think of them as a bunch of kitchen devils. ......
I understand. I don't want to imagine that. ......
Sister ......, your face is turning pale.　It's best not to think about it. We've been through too much.

　While Luceris imagined the smaller ones haunting the kitchen, the Zeros are giant insectoid monsters.
　The fear of them is incomparable.

The roots of the snowdrops have been accepted. I'll go and collect it tomorrow.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xelloss. I really wish I could be there to collect it. ......
We have powerful children. You can't blame them. They're the right people for the job.
Well, I guess I'll go register as a mercenary.
If you're looking for magic stones, you might as well sell them to a magic store.　I'll show you around in my spare time.
"Busywork? ......

　To be honest, the sight of two men standing together is quite empty.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if you can find anything you need.

I'm not sure if you're going to marry that sister, Xelloss.　You've got a thing for her.


The age difference is bothering me, and I can't seem to make up my mind. I'm sure you, a winner, don't understand the struggle.
"Well, I'm old enough to have a daughter of that age. But she's that beautiful, you know?　Aren't there a lot of guys out there who want her?
"I'll work up the courage somehow before that. I guess I need time to think about it now. ......
You're surprisingly weak-kneed. ......

　Aside from marriage, Ad's living expenses are a problem right now.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for a new way to live.
　The two mages headed for the city, discussing some plans for their future lives.
