211-Headed to the upper layers of the Shinkai




 The divine world that Kuronoa-san took me to visit........I didn't notice it when I was here before, but there is a building behind the blessed temple, and it seems that there is a gate inside it, and you move to the divine world from there.
 The divine world........literally a place where the gods live, an absolute vertical society with Shiro-san at the top.
 What kind of place is it? Hmmm, like this, in my image it's like a land floating in the sky like it's on top of the clouds... but the demon world was similar to the human world, and it was surprisingly normal...

What...what...what?
This is the God's world we live in.
Up in the sky?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you that all of the earth in the divine world 'exists in the air' but it doesn't shake because it was created by the power of Lord Shalovanal.

 As I stepped out of the gate, the scene in front of me was like a proper fantasy.
 Large and small areas of land are connected by beautifully decorated bridges, and underneath the bridges you can see the blue sky...wow, wow.

The islands here are all gates that lead to various parts of the human and demon worlds... We call this area of floating islands the 'divine gate'.
...Huh, how can I say it, I'm overwhelmed and speechless...it's an amazingly fantastic sight.
Well, good for you. Well, we're going to move, though it will take a long time for you, human being, to get there on foot, so I'll carry you.
'What? Oh, yes.
''We can go up to the upper levels in a breath, but since you're here for the first time in the God Realm, I'll show you around a bit. Don't worry, I've been given permission by Lord Shalovanal.
'Yes. Nice to meet you!
Hmm.

 Klonoa-san nodded and flicked her fingers lightly, and multiple golden rings of magical power floated around my body, and my body floated in a fluffy way.
 Kuronoa-san's body was also surrounded by the same light, and in the next moment it began to move at a fairly fast speed.
 However, it's not the kind of speed that blows away the landscape, it's just a little faster than a car.

'First of all, this is the lower level I described earlier. And look, you can see the land floating in the distance over there. That's the middle class.
It's true...I had the image that the entire God Realm was like a big mountain, but in reality, it's just a small circle of land floating around.
''Mm........To ascend to the middle tier, if you're not a high-level god, you can use the gate in the lower central city. Well, it's rarely used in the first place.

 Hearing Klonoa-san's words of explanation while moving, when I moved my gaze, I certainly saw something like the earth floating at a much higher position than where I am now.
 
 It's not just the earth that's floating, it's the fountains in the sky, the physically oddly shaped trees in the sky... just looking at it, I really don't get bored.

''As I recall.......wasn't it only the king class of each country that was allowed to enter?
'Ah, one whose trust from the divine world is above a certain standard, to be precise... besides the king, those who have received the 'Book Blessing' rather than the 'Provisional Blessing' can also enter.
A provisional blessing? Book blessing?
Yeah? What, you don't know?
'Yes. I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge.

 
 Seeing me reflexively apologize, Cronor-san breaks her usual crisp expression, smiles kindly and shakes her head.

''No, don't worry about it. If you think about it, it's not surprising that you, an otherworldly person, don't know about it. My lack of consideration I apologize.
No, no!
'Let me explain briefly. Usually, the provisional blessing is the one that the human nobles receive every year. Don't call it an abbreviated ceremony either.
'Abbreviations ... that's what Cronor-san called Lilia-san, as I recall ...'

 Hearing the word "abbreviated ceremony" reminded me of how Klonoa-san had blessed Lilia-san in front of the temple earlier and said, "I'm sorry for the abbreviated ceremony.

'Mm. As you can imagine, the one you performed on my Lilia is a provisional blessing. It can be done in a simple procedure, but the effect is not very strong and lasts only one year.......so the human race receives a blessing every year.
Okay what's this blessing?
This blessing... is a blessing that the divine tribe 'uses its name', this one differs from the provisional blessing in that the effect of the blessing will continue as long as the divine tribe that made the blessing lives, and the effect you get is incomparable.

 After all, it seems that this blessing is something that is on top of the normal blessing, and the effect that normally expires in a year is permanent.
 When he saw me nodding my head in agreement, Klonoa's expression changed to a serious expression as he continued to speak.

"This Blessing is an act that can be said to be the greatest trust for the divine race... because the person who receives this Blessing is a blessed being of the God who performed the Blessing and is allowed to 'speak in the name of the God'.
'Speaking in the name of God?'
"...hmmm, for example, Miyama. You have received this blessing from Lord Shalovanar, haven't you? I believe I was permitted to use Lord Sharovanar's name at that time.
...What?

 Did he do that to me? No, you haven't been...

(I forgot. I give you permission to speak in my name.)

 You forgot? Aren't you being a little bit too inappropriate...?
 Well, well, White doesn't seem to have had a blessing situation at all, so I guess I can't blame him?

What's going on?
Oh, no, no... well, they've just given me permission.
Yeah? Well well anyway, being allowed to speak in the name of Lord Shalovanal is now a right.
"...Heh? I mean, what the hell is that...?

 I still don't know what the word "speaking in the name of God" means...is that it? In the name of God I say! Or is it something like that?

If you make a statement in the name of Lord Sharovannal, it's tantamount to the word of Lord Sharovannal. Disagreeing with that statement, in other words, is the same as turning your back on Lord Shalovanal, the most foolish act in the world.
"...yeah, yeah...
'That's not all. If you use the name of Lord Shalovanar to give orders, the entire divine race will obey you. You can be said to have absolute command authority over the divine race.
....

  He is undeniably on top of the world. His power of speech can be said to be incomparable.
 .....It is sealed.

By the way, it is a felony for anyone who has not received this blessing to speak in the name of God. By the God of Life, judgment will be rendered.
Okay, okay.

 Thanks to Kronor's explanation, I understand better, and I also understand why the divine race doesn't call each other by name.
 For the gods, their names are used to perform this blessing, and at the same time, they have clear power, so to avoid misuse, they are not known.
 And the person who is in charge of the information is Life, who plays the role of Alice in the words of the Sixth King.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. Thanks to you, I understand now.
Well I think it's superfluous, but the power you've been given is powerful, to say nothing of it. Don't abuse it........well, I know that you wouldn't do that, either.

 Saying that and smiling gently, Kuronoa-san was like a true goddess.......I felt my face heat up a little bit, partly because of the gap between that and my usual cool impression.
 And as I continued to move, Kuronoa-san opened her mouth as if she suddenly remembered.

''Well while we're at it, let's thank you again. Miyama, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for accompanying Sharovanal-sama before. Master Shalovanal seemed to be enjoying himself very much. That makes me more than happy.
No, no, no, no...
But as for what you saw then forget it.
...Is it what I saw?

 After thanking me in regards to my previous date with White, he tells me to forget about something, but I can't pinpoint it right away and nod my head.
 Then Klonoa-san, after making a troubled expression for some reason, mutters in a small voice while looking away from her face.


...You mean the swimsuit?
Yeah I know what I'm talking about. They would say it didn't look good on him! I am aware of that much. Laugh if you want, but forget it!

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of your own personal life.
 It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

No, it wasn't like I was laughing or anything... I mean, it looked good on you, right?
'What? You! You're making fun of me like that again!
''No, no, I'm not teasing you.......it really looked good on you. Kronor-san is slender and beautiful and....
What? Nah.........

 Hearing my words, Klonoa-san moved her mouth like a fish on land with a crunch, and her face grew redder and redder.
 And after a little while, she came closer to me with more vigor than before.

''Huh, hmm, don't be silly! You tell me, I'm not going to let you talk me into this! Slutty!
'No, no, I'm not going to do anything about it I just mean it. I think Kronor-san is a very beautiful woman.


 Isn't that mainly what Mr. Fayette said? I just thought of Fate's face with a piece on her head right now.
 Umm, hmmm. As I thought, Cronor-san isn't used to being treated like a woman, or..............................I get the feeling that she's unusually confused about something other than White.

''Hmmm. I don't know up to what others think, and I don't feel like I'm the absolute standard, but.......I think Kronor-san is a beautiful woman.
''~~~~?

 When I told her that, Kronor-san crunched her mouth again and turned over, even her ears turned red.
 Yes, there might be something rather deep-rooted.........................Let's not say anything more.
 Thinking that, I returned my gaze to the view of the divine world and heard a whispering voice.

''I'll........thank you........''
'What? Oh, yes.

 Once again, Kronor-san fell silent, but he turned to me for a moment and chuckled with a somewhat warm expression on his face.

 Dear Mother and Father - the divine world was a fantasy place, contrary to my expectations, or perhaps even more so than I had expected, and the things I saw in my vision felt very fresh. And after a while, Kronor-san also returned to his usual tone, and I headed to the upper levels of the God Realm - while being guided by the God Realm.
