The festival was over before I knew it.
　You may wonder what I'm talking about, but that means I've been asleep for more than 24 hours. 36 hours to be exact.
　The battle in the state of apotheosis was more exhausting than I thought, and it must have taken me that long to recover.
　After I passed out, Yumina and the others, along with her sister Morohide, took care of the remaining flames and mutants.
　The mutants are members of the evil gods. Although they are cloaked in divine spirit, they are thinly veiled, so they are not an opponent that can be defeated.
　The gods can't wield their divine power for things that affect the earth, but still, my sisters wouldn't fall behind a mutant species.
　After defeating the mutants, they all came back to Brunhild at the World God's "Gate" with everyone else. So I went straight to bed. After Flora's examination, it turned out to be just fatigue, so I continued to sleep. ...for 36 hours.
　While I was asleep, the martial arts tournament on the third day of the festival proceeded without a hitch, and to tell you the result, the final match was a clash between the Knight King of Restia and Shigetaro-san. It is said that Shigetaro won the competition by a small margin.
　I heard that Ieyasu and the rest of the Yisheng forces were very happy in the audience. I heard that the people in Brunhild were also happy. There are a lot of people from Yisheng in this country, too. I'm sure they must be happy to see their countrymen doing well.
　Since I was in this state, Mr. Kosaka, the prime minister, took over the award ceremony. The first prize went to Mr. Shigetaro, and the second prize went to Rai Halt, the Knight King of Lestia (pseudonym). And the third place went to Sonia-san, an adventurer of the dragon race.
　There were other interesting-looking combinations, such as the father-son duel between General Leon and Rion, and the fierce battle between the Beast King Mismid and Baba's grandfather, but it was a shame we missed them.
　In the end, the closing ceremony was also conducted by Mr. Kosaka, and afterwards, the castle town was in an uproar all night long as it was an after-party.
　The fun-filled festival was over, everyone had left in the morning, and I finally woke up before noon.
　There were only 9 fiancées, plus a stuffed bear, gathered in my room, probably out of concern for me.

'No way...'

　After listening to the explanation of Yumina and the others gathered, I hold my head on the bed.
　No........... There's no way I'm going to leave all the guests alone and sleep all the time........
　Since the situation was properly told to them, rather than being offended, they were thanked by the kings near Euron, such as Lord Mare, Felsen, Hannock and Xenoas. But even so.....
　The kings of each country and their guests seem to have returned to their respective countries early in the morning through the Gates opened by the World God.
　The kings seemed surprised to see someone other than me who could use the Gates, but when I introduced His Holiness Pope Ramish as my grandfather, they all agreed.

'Shameful...'
'Shh, it can't be helped! I've played to death in all those fights! You deserve to fall down!

　Lou follows up gently, but it also hurts my heart.
　I was prepared to take a certain amount of risk when I became a deity, but I didn't expect this to happen. I've caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people.......
　To say my timing was bad would be an understatement, but........haha. Gila's an idiot.

''You don't need to be that downhearted. The festival itself was a huge success.

　No, I agree with Else, though. I just wanted to make sure things were proceeding properly until the end.

Next year, I would like to participate in a martial arts tournament, that I would like to participate in.
Me too. I'm sure your brother also wants a rematch with Yae's brother.

　Yae and Hilda laugh at each other and talk about next year. I mean, we're going to do it again next year after all. If we're going to do it, we need to take more time to prepare this time.

And by the way, what about the world and........grandpa? Have you left yet?
Yes, in the morning. She left under a shifting spell.

　Oops! I couldn't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. I'll have to call later to apologize.
　Anyway, I got up out of bed and tried to move my body, but there was no problem. I thought that I could move around normally from today, but then everyone forced me into bed.

You've cancelled all your plans for today anyway, so take it easy for the rest of the day. It's important to get a good night's rest. Besides, if you don't rest, it's hard for the people below you to rest too.

　I can't argue with Leanne when she says that to me.
　Reluctantly I crawl into bed, and everyone leaves the room, with Amber and Ruri coming in their place. Apparently, they are the chaperones.

''Come on Lord, please rest.''
'I mean, come on...after sleeping for over thirty hours, I'm honestly not sleepy...'

　On the other hand, I feel like my body is heavy from sleeping too much. It's definitely better to move it around a bit, though.
　It's not difficult to sneak out of bed with transfer magic, but you never know what they'll say when they find out later.

''Oh, by the way, where's Coral, Black Day, and Red Ball?''
"Coral and his men have gone to the tavern with Drunken Flower Palace, and Beniyu has gone to check on the castle town from his unleashed subordinates.
A bar?

　I can't help but chuckle at Amber's report. It seems that Coral and Kuroshio have recently learned the taste of alcohol, and they seem to be hanging out with Drunken Flowers a lot. The heavy drinker is called a heavy drinker, a heavy drinker is called a "heavy drinker" (ubami), and it seems to suit them somehow.

''Totally..... ''You know........they're just taking advantage of our Lord's generosity.......''
'You can't say that, can you? You, who had been coasting like a cat in the courtyard until the day before the festival began? The corals wouldn't want you to be the only one to say that.
"What are you doing? I'm the one who's been getting all the treats from Lady Claire in the kitchen.
''........That was a taste test. I was checking it out for the Lord's taste.
"Stop quibbling.

　When they were fed up with the little tiger and the little dragon that began to jostle in the room, two small burning red feathers flew out of the window and hit the foreheads of the two animals.

''Heat!''

　While the two of them scream in agony as they rub their foreheads against the floor, a crimson ball comes in through the window, flapping its wings, and perches on the desk.

'What are you making a fuss about in front of the Lord who is resting? You need to be a little more careful.'
''But this guy!
Excuse me?

　The two of them were about to argue, but they couldn't help but be silenced when Red Ball gave them a guillotine gaze. Oh, scary.
　Beniyu is usually a mild-mannered boy, but when he gets angry, he might be the one who is most afraid of him.

''Welcome back, Beniyama. How was the city?
''Yes. Everyone was busy cleaning up after the festival. All the shops are cleaning up the front streets in the morning, and they'll be open in the afternoon.

　Hmmm, well, I guess I will. There's also the rubbish thrown away at the festival that needs to be cleaned up. That's another issue for the next time. Maybe I should install garbage cans all over the town. Would it be convenient to have a big incinerator?

The guests who were staying at the hotel have started to leave on their own. It will be back to normal in a few days.

　Will the innkeeper "Ginsuki" finally be free from its busyness? Is everything alright, Micah?
　........Well, I was still sending Lanz-kun to help out. I made you work as a waiter in the cafeteria during the festival, not as a member of the Order. I'll pay you a special allowance with my pocket money. Just enough to buy Micah something to eat.

What happened to the guys you arrested during the fair?
"There wasn't enough of them to send me to the mine, so I will be released after I've had my just punishment. Most of them were drunk and causing trouble.

　In this world, it's normal for people to wear weapons. Killing each other at the end of a drunken fight is a common occurrence. At any rate, it's a good thing there weren't too many casualties.

It's a good job. Well then, you're free to go now for the day, Red Ball and Amber and the others can rest.
You're trying to get out of here, aren't you?
Gulp.

　Sharp. It can't be helped. I'm not good at sitting still.

''We are the Lord's servants, servants. You can't get out of it, we'll just obey and pretend we didn't see it coming. But are you prepared to face the consequences when your wife finds out that you have snuck out?
"Uh.

　
　Lately Yumina and the others have been getting skills that will make it obvious where I am................... If I get out of there, they'll know for sure........

"I'll just have to stay in bed...
I think it's wise.

　I'm under half house arrest, right? Huh. Rest isn't supposed to be just about sleeping, though.
　I'm not busy, so I'm laying in bed and watching the internet news of the former world on my phone. I'm sorry to hear that actor has passed away......... A general election to be dissolved, huh? I wanted to go to the election at least once....
　Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll send an apology to all the guests. I'll call you properly later, but I might be busy right now.
　For those people in countries where I haven't given my phone to them... I'll have to use the "gate mirror" to send them a letter later.
　Hmm, it's a pain in the ass after all. I guess we should just form an alliance and hand them the phone. That would be much more convenient for other nations, wouldn't it?
　Come to think of it, this festival was a great opportunity for me. I finally realized what a waste of time I had wasted. I heard that the leaders other than me had various talks at the after-party, so it seemed to be a meaningful meeting.
　At the very least, the Demon Kingdom Xenoas has announced its participation in the alliance, so we need to talk about that as well.
　I have too much time on my hands, so I take out the book I got in the back world from the "storage". I stored the original in Babylon's Library, and this is a copy I made in the Workshop. I also translated the Arendt language properly.
　I begin to read one of the books, the Redia Magic Commentary.
　In short, it's a book on magic written by a person called Redia something or other. But the content was much more sketchy than this world's.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.
　I'm not going to be able to say that the reason why magic is in such a decline.......no, it's not developing is because of the golem.
　That's right, if the fireball fired by the golems of the ancient plane 《Legacy》 is more powerful than a fireball that has been mastered after years of training, then everyone would choose this one.
　No training is needed, and if anyone owns the golem, they can use the same abilities as magic.
　If there's a problem, it's that it's difficult to obtain and quite expensive, and that you can't use magic, or rather its ability, depending on the occasion? And that's all the Golems with the ignition ability seem to be able to do.
　But it's the same for wizards who only have the fire attribute.
　As I was reading my book while thinking about this, I received a call from Dr. Babylon, who was holed up in the 'Institute'.

'Yes, hello?'
'Winter's night, is that you? I finally finished that thing. Now you can come and go to the other side!'
Oh!

　Is that... that thing... or the dimensional gate they put on the other side?
　The dimensional gates on Babylon do not allow for free passage. You have to go all the way. Every time you return, you have to come back via the divine world.
　In order to make it possible to go back and forth from here to there and from there to here, we need to install interlinked dimensional gates on the other side as well. That's done.
　All we have to do now is store it in 'storage' and bring it into the other world and install it in a safe place.

''However, since it still requires an enormous amount of magical power, we can only transfer to it with Fuyao-kun, though.
No, no, no, I think it's safer than using it on anyone else, for some weird reason.
"Well, yes, but.... So, as soon as we can, I'd like to do a startup experiment, how about this?
Uh, I'm sorry, I'm under house arrest.
What?

　After explaining the current situation, they decided to postpone the experiment until tomorrow.
　We are going to be busy again tomorrow.
