158-Evil God's failure




 
 Just after the evil one reincarnated Harut...

I've used up a lot of energy I'll rest for a while. You'll take care of the rest.

Yes, sir.

 The evil god left the rest to the shikigami and was about to fall asleep in his chair.

'Ah! Evil God!

'What? I'm at my wits' end. Let me sleep.

'I hadn't decided where that one would be reincarnated!

...what?

''If this is the case, that otherworldly soul will drift into this divine world. If that happens, the Creation God will find out that I reincarnated an otherworldly person without permission.

So why don't they just reincarnate him into some kind of slave or something?

''It can't be me, a ceremonial god. The god, Evil God, needs to decide where to reincarnate!

'Shit I get it. Then bring me a candidate.

Yes!

 Then the shikigami brought out a circular board and a hand-thrown arrow.

''Hey, what's this?''

It's an otherworldly game of darts. Throw this dart at the target I'm holding.

 The shikigami handed a hand-thrown arrow to the evil god. He then walked away from the evil god and walked away from the evil god a bit and set the target above his head.

''Then go ahead! Please don't apply it to me!

 The evil god, who had put a lot of power into Haruto's reincarnation and curse, wanted to go to sleep now.

 Therefore, he threw a dart without reading most of the words on the target that the shikigami had.

 A god is basically all-powerful.

 Even the act of throwing an arrow at a target, even if he did it randomly, it would always go where he aimed.

 Without thinking, the evil god aimed at the center of the target.

 The dart thrown by the evil god, the god of evil, naturally went right into the middle of the target as he aimed.

''Oh! Congratulations, Evil God! It was decided in one shot........

 Immediately after throwing the dart, the evil God lost consciousness.
 He fell asleep.

 That's good.
 Even if he was left alone, the Evil God would wake up sooner or later.

 The problem was Haruto's reincarnation destination.

 The majority of the targets that the shikigami had - about 90% of them were 'slaves'.

 The remaining less than 10% were 'commoners', and these were only slightly distributed around the center of the target.

 And in the center of the target - an area as small as a grain of rice - was marked a candidate for reincarnation as 'nobility'.

 The dart thrown by the evil god had pierced that rice-grain sized area in an impressive manner.

 Incidentally, both the target and the dart had been created by the shikigami by borrowing part of the evil god's power, and as soon as the dart pierced the target, Haruhito's reincarnation destination had been decided.

 There was no point in re-stabbing it.


''Good grief...''

 Cold sweat broke out on Shikigami's face.
 He looked at the evil god with fear.

 The Evil God was asleep in the position where he had finished throwing the dirt.

''Ki, it's the Evil God who made the decision! And since it's status fixed, there's no way he's going to be active. Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely fine!''

 As if to justify himself, the shikigami, who spoke so to the sleeping evil god, hastily disposed of the target and the dart.


 Thus it was decided that Haruto would be reincarnated as the third son of the Countess Silveray family, a powerful noble family of the Glendale Kingdom.
