405 # 405 The spirit of fire and ice, and the love of God.








 To the west of the two-world continent, the continent that was the underworld, there were two countries that had problems here.
 They were the Fire Nation of Dauburn and the Ice Nation of Zardonia.
 They called each other thieves, and were dog-eat-dog countries.
 According to the kings of the western continent, it seems that it's mainly the higher-ups, such as the nobles and the king, who are fighting, but the people who go along with them are also a nuisance.
 Both sides are claiming that the other side has stolen offerings to the gods they worship. They say that because of that, they have been cursed by the gods and made into a land of scorching heat and extreme cold.
 In my opinion, it's not a god. I think it's probably a spirit. Something happened hundreds of years before that.

Well, that's why I'm here, isn't it?
I'm just saying...
It's a problem.

 The world of spirits that I came to in a different space transfer. In this world of shimmering, milky white haze, I was confronted by a spirit of fire and a spirit of ice.
 On the table between the two of them and me, there was a plate of cookies that I had brought in as souvenirs.
 The flame spirit is the second largest spirit, the fire spirit, after the great spirit, the fire spirit. She was a girl with a boyish red hair shortcut, exuding vivacity, just like her sister, the Fire Spirit. Somehow, she resembled the fire spirit. It would make sense to say she was her sister.
 The Ice Spirit was also a spirit of the same rank as the Fire Spirit, located just below the Great Spirit. It seems that she is like an older sister to the Snow Spirit, who was the mother of the Yisheng emperor, Shirahime, the Snow Spirit.
 The girl with long ice blue hair in a so-called princess cut, gives the impression of being cool and not showing much emotion. Just because she's an ice spirit? It's cold.

Atheists were resurrected once about five hundred years ago. I don't remember that much about it. I don't know if I remember losing my temper or not...
''Me too. Since my family members are sitting in that land, I'm sure something happened, but the details are....

 I didn't think even he knew about it. Spirits are immortal beings. They die and resurrect repeatedly in a cycle of thousands of years. Each time they are reset and reincarnated as different beings with different memories and appearances. They are said to be male or female, and their gender of appearance changes as well.
 Even if they were the ones who put the curse on the Flame Kingdom of Dauburn and the Ice Kingdom of Zardonia (I don't even know if it's a curse or not), this doesn't make the reason for it clear.

''I don't know, but if you want, do you want me to make the kindred in those lands go away?''
'Hmmm, that's possible, but I don't care now. It doesn't seem to be a fundamental solution.

 And we're no longer fighting each other because it's hot and cold. And I think rapid climate change is bad for the human body.
 But I think it's possible to break the curse (not curse) slowly. A warmer climate might stop the fighting but I'm not holding out much hope.

'You guys don't really get along with each other, do you?
It's not that bad. We played together last time. Right?
''Yes. But I can't be responsible for our disagreement, as it changes from time to time when we're resurrected, so I can't be responsible for our previous lives...

 I see. You weren't the same person before you were resurrected. Maybe we didn't get along with each other.

But according to the spirits who knew him in his previous life, he didn't get along so well with them. I guess we weren't as close as we are now.
Yes. I, too, heard about it from the water lady.

 Hmm, unknown cause. ...Okay, I'll give up.
 Nothing. Let's make up for Dauburn and Zardonia right now! And I'm not trying to be. Don't bother getting into it.
 If you can figure out what it is and do something about it right away, that's fine too, but otherwise, that's it.

I'm sorry to have taken up your time. I'm sorry to have taken so long, but here's a packet of cookies. Share them with everyone.

 I gave him a souvenir and left the spirit world. I wonder what the reason is in the end.
 I've already kidnapped the kings of two countries and said, "Let's forget about the past and get along! I have a feeling that it would be better to lock her up somewhere alone with me so that she would be able to say, "You know what? Like a deserted island. Wouldn't we be able to get along better if we wandered the line between life and death together?

No. No!

 That's not going to happen, indeed. Self-talking, I returned to Babylon.
 Everyone was having a tea party at the Garden when I returned to Babylon.

Welcome to the Garden, Master. I'll bring you some tea.
Yes, please.

 Sheska, in her maid's outfit, who was waiting for me, is transitioning from the gazebo where everyone is.......the so-called Western-style pavilion. She must have gone to the castle to get a cup and a cup of tea.
 I sat down between Yumina and Yae, who was vacant at the round table.

''Where have you been, Fuyao-san?''
'I'm going to the spirit world for a moment. I've been talking to the fire and ice spirits, but I haven't found any useful information.
Oh, you mean that annoying country that fights over the hot and cold, that you're talking about?

 I'm not fighting over the hot and cold, though. I'm sure it's messy.

'What are you guys doing?'
So many things lately, you know. By the way, darling, I have a question for you. I have a question for you.
Hmm? What?

 Leanne puts down her cup and looks at me. Everyone is looking at you, too, staring at you. What's that?

You said you wouldn't get married until you were 18 when you got engaged to me.
Yeah, yeah. I told you.
Your sister-in-law told me about it recently. Is it true that the number of days in the year is different between the world you were in and our world here? Is it true that the number of days in a year is different?

 Lean staring at me with a teasing gaze. In response, I smiled and couldn't stop the sweat that was cascading down like a waterfall.

''You. Isn't it already eighteen in your world's calendar?

 I've been found out. We've been found out. The source of the information is Hanakoi's sister (Annyaro)?
 As a matter of fact, it is. I didn't notice it myself at first, but a year in this world is longer than our year, 365 days a year. It's about 4 months. That means there are 16 months of the year.
 I couldn't believe my eyes when 13 months came up on my phone. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the thirteenth month on my phone, because I checked with Mr. Kosaka without thinking.
 I had checked all the dates on my phone, so I didn't know until then. The season is all messed up here, too.
 After I found out, I started to adjust to the calendar here, and I'm definitely 17 years old in this world.
 In my former world........I'm actually 18, hi.

I'm not trying to hide it. I've decided that since I became a member of this world, it's only natural that I should apply our calendar to it. Because, you know. If you do the math on the earth's calendar, you'd be surprised to find out that Yumina is older than you. A fourteen-year-old Yumina would be eighteen years and eight months old on the Earth calendar. Lean not,
"Shut up, darling.
Hi....

 An angelic smile and a gaze that is all about Mr. Shotgun is released from Lean.
 Linse opens her mouth as her face blushes.

''Then it means I can already marry Fuyao-san, right?
'That's up to you darling but I guess it's going to be difficult under the current circumstances. There's the whole evil god thing and everything else.
A lot?

 Yae nodded her head at the answer that Lean gave back.



 No, no, no, Mr. Lean, that's too quick. It's not always possible.
 The faces of everyone at the table turn red as if contagious from the bright red Lean. I'm no exception.
 Seeing even Sue turn red and drink juice, I was strangely moved by the fact that she had grown up.......

''Well, well, let's just leave it at that. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I'm pretty sure I can't marry you in peace until the evil god's problems are taken care of. So I'm going to take care of that one by then at all costs.
Can you win, that you can?
''As long as you can manage the God Demon Poisoning. Even though that side has taken in a god, it's still the lowest level of neat gods, and this side is the Supreme God's subordinate, right? Even though I'm even more humanized, I'm backed up by seven gods. If I can't win with this, then I'm pretty much incompetent.

 I'd like to think it's not that bad. I'm sure it's not that bad. It's just a test for the World God. I'm going to have to take the test to make sure I'm in charge of the world.
 I'm sure that Yura doesn't know anything about it.
 I'm sure he didn't know that the god he captured through his own deviousness is the lowest level of nieto gods, or even lower level of nieto gods. That neat god, that neat god, only had so much pride, ''I am a lowly, lowly subordinate of the gods! I'm sure he wouldn't have said anything like that even if he had.
 I don't think he would have tricked them into thinking that he is the god of the world.... I'm sure they did. Well, whatever.

Oh, speaking of which, Lou seems to have awakened to his [Military Characteristic].
What, really?

 At Else's abrupt words, I turn my gaze to Lou.

''Ah, yes. But it's not like it's meant for combat...''

 Lou smiles bitterly.
 The [Military Trait] is a divine favor that sprouts in those who have become the family of the gods. In the case of Lou and the others, it's special, there was a possibility that they were affiliated with the eight gods: me, Hanakoi's sister, Morohana's sister, Kosuke's uncle, Kanasuke's brother, Karina's sister, Drunken Flowers and Takeru's uncle.
 Not all of them, for example, there's a high possibility that Sakura, in addition to me, is also a member of the Kanosuke brother................the Music God's Household. We often sing in town together, for example.
 In the same way, Yae and Hilda would be in the household of Morobane Sister, the sword god, and Else would be in the household of her uncle Takeru, the warrior god.
 Of course, the main one is me.
 [Military trait] is a divine favor. That power is also a power that belongs to God.
 Yumina has a slight 'future prediction' and Sakura has expressed 'super hearing'. Well, what about Lou?

I feel that my taste buds have become strangely acute. I can tell you what ingredients are used and how much of them are used, somehow.

 Haha, I see.
 Lou is always cooking with the head cook, Claire. His skills are already like a pro. I'm sure you've never held a knife until you met me. I wonder if it's called cherry blossom's 'super hearing' and the [Military Trait] enhances a person's qualities.

''Lou-san's senses are amazing. I can even tell if you put a grain of salt in a glass of water.''
That's great.... But if you're that sharp, isn't it pretty tough to eat something bad?
'No, it won't work if you're not conscious of it. There's a switch, shall we say....
I know. So do I. If you're not conscious of it, you won't hear any unnecessary noise.

 Sakura nodded at Lou's words. Can you switch between the two? Well, it's hard if it's always activated. It's the same with my 'divine eye' and the like.

'I'm jealous. It's not a good idea to be able to have a good time.
No, it's not like that.

 I laugh back at Su's words with a bitter smile. The [Military Trait] varies from person to person, and there is no set rule that says "do this and you will wake up". I understand how you feel, but this is just the thing.
 Linze also timidly opens her mouth.

''Well, it's not that........that 'God's love' is lacking, right?
No, not exactly...⁉︎ It's really just a matter of personal aptitude.

 Don't doubt your love. That's important.

Maybe it's easier to develop sensory characteristics than physical ones.
'Indeed. Hilda might be right. And Umina, Sakura and Lou are all about sight, hearing and taste.
I don't know if 'premonitions' are visual.
'It's still about 'seeing', right? I feel like Hilda, Yae, and Else are going to have physical characteristics.

 I mean, it's like my physical abilities have gone up. Or rather, it's already become.
 Even Sue, who is normally the least capable of fighting, can move like our knights. This is without training. The fact that Yae, Hilda, Else and the others can see how substandard they are. That's what the love of God is all about.
 You know what? I just realized that this isn't half bad if we had children........ Children who are demigods and have received the love of Hanakoi sister and numerous other gods are going to be pretty hard to discipline........
 They're mostly daughters though. I hope they grow up to be ladylike........

What kind of physical characteristics do you mean by that?
It's like Else's [Boost], isn't it?
Yes. I already have one. I want a different one.

 A group of three people who seem to have physical characteristics are talking about such things, but if those three have that kind of thing attached to them, it would be like a demon with a golden stick, a tiger with wings, a Benkei with a naginata....

'Physical, you don't grow wings, do you?
No, I don't. Even I've grown my hair out. I don't see that kind of change.

 I deny Linse's words with a laugh. It's true that the figure of an 'angel' with pure white wings might be more like a divine family member.

It's boring. I thought she would grow taller, or have larger breasts, or become a 'no-subadee' like Hanakoi's sister-in-law,

 No, no, no. If that happens to Sue, that's just a transformation. It's not a trait or anything.
 But I wonder if they're already concerned about Suu? The size of her breasts... I'm not sure if it's normal for a 12 year old to do that.
 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

"I wish I could get as big as Flora!
No, it's just not up to snuff. It's not comparable.

 Else gives me a lucky break.
 Flora, the administrator of the "Alchemy Building". That thing is more than 100 even if you look at it in a favorable light. I'm not sure if it's going to be 120. And yet it maintains its ample shape as if it were defying gravity. The style is good, and it's not fat or 'big'.
 It's an artificial life form like a homunculus to begin with........ I don't think there's any point in trying to compete with each other in that area.
 It's kind of getting darker around Yumina, Lou, Linse, and Else.
 I don't care much for cherry blossoms and such, and Lean seems to have given up rather than the luxury of being older. Yae is holding it down with her salash, but she's got some pretty good stuff, and Hilda is very normal.

'Flora-san, I think you're on some kind of medicine that makes you bigger, you know...'
No, the 'breast implants' are in the custody of Parche in the 'storehouse', so they're his...................

 I couldn't help but reply to Linse's mumble, but bah! He looked up and looked into the eyes of the four of them and realized that he had slipped up as hard as he could.

'Hey, Winter Night, what do you mean?'
Did you say "breast implants"?
If it's in the 'storehouse', that means it's there, right?
'Mr. Fuyu? Mr. Winter's Night? Mr. Fuyu?
No, no, wait, I have a very good reason for this!

 I won't even blink, because I'm afraid of being forced into wide-eyed, unblinking eyes!
 Well, I'm not deep enough to know that it's made by the doctor! It's too scary if it goes over three inches or something! I'm sure there's some flaw in it!

Else and Lou, go to the lab and bring the doctor in. We need to get the information. Linse and I will go to the storehouse and secure the original.
Okay!
Yes, sir!

 Following Yumina's instructions, Else and Lou run towards the 'Institute'. You're acting so fast!

Then we will.
Yes, sir.

 Next, Linse and Yumina also start running towards the storehouse. Hey, you're using the ring's [Axel].

Sounds interesting. Strawberries!
Hmm. I'm coming with you.

 Sue and Sakura also ran towards the 'warehouse'.

''I'm kind of curious. Do you want me to come with you?
Then we'll go too, that we will.
Yes.

 Yae to Lean, Yae to Hilda, and even Hilda sits up.

'I think I slipped up...'

 He said he was going to bring the Dr. in, so I'm sure we'll find out about the side effects of the drugs and such. I don't know if I'm the one who doesn't believe and doubt that there are side effects.
 Afterwards, the doctor seemed to give a detailed explanation of the "Breast Augmentation Drug" to everyone.
 It's the same effect as the body change system magic, in other words, it's something that assists in the ability to change by magic power. It seems to be something that is applied directly to the chest.
 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's definitely a good idea.
 However, it seems to require quite a bit of his own magic power to maintain it, and as the magic power was consumed, it returned to its original size like a balloon shrinking with time. It was surprising that there were no side effects. I'll also say once, it was surprising.
 Apparently the effect didn't last for thirty minutes. ........though it didn't seem to sag, so that was good. I was relieved that it seemed to have returned to normal.
 It's not possible to use my transfer magic 【Transformer】 to cover up my own inherent magic power, and there's nothing I can do about it.
 I wonder if it's inevitable that Else and Linse, who haven't yet awakened to their [Military Characteristics], wished for an 'increase in magic power'.
 But even if it increases, it still consumes magic power to keep it, so it will disappear in the end. It's like trying to shoot [Fireball] forever.
 Written as a person's dream, it's fleeting. Only emptiness is left behind........
 After that, the doctor told me, 'There's one for men, too,' but what's a man to do with a bigger chest? What's the point of a man making his breasts bigger? Isn't that it? Don't say things you don't understand.
