With Ekla holding our hands, we headed to Astell's. The place we were led to was a place for everyone to have a meal, a resting place where the whole family could gather.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends. Me, Aeris and Kana walk in there.

''Ah, Ray-san, we're home!

''Ah, welcome back Aster. I was surprised when you suddenly called me to the divine realm, but I'm glad you came back safely.

　Seeing us coming into the room, Astel, who was sitting on a chair, gets up and hugs me. I'm sure you'll find it cute if you don't have an M-string.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　And then Master looks at us with a dumbfounded look on his face as we hug each other.

''It's been a long time, Master, too. Has Master also been invited to Aster?''

Yeah, I was just taking it easy in the guild when Light came by. He really is a god of manners.

　Aster chuckles at his master's words. Master is one of the few people who is Astel's true identity. The people who know who Aster is are my wives, Master, my parents and the Dragon King. I haven't told the kings.

　I don't mind telling them, but it was Astel's intention not to make a big deal out of it. For now, he kept it to himself for the time being. The Dragon King and the others know about the divine dragon, so they think it's not a problem and talk about it.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get away with it. Astel and Aeris too.

　Alexia sees us joking around and moves forward with her seat. Oops, my apologies to Alexia and the others for taking time out of their busy schedules to come. We immediately take an empty seat. Ekla turns back into a dragon and sits on my head. When Astel saw that everyone was seated, he spread out a piece of paper on the desk.

　It wasn't the kind of paper we usually use, it was an extraordinary piece of paper made with magic, and that too with divine magic.

''First of all, before I tell you why I was called to the divine realm, there is something I need to tell you all. It's about the affairs of this world.

　Aster shows me an unfolded piece of paper while saying that. If you look closely at the paper, it looks like a map, with seven continents written on the map.

What's this map for?　I've never seen this before, but...

It's a map of this world.

　Everyone is wondering about the map they're seeing for the first time, and Aster says so. But everyone except me has a look of disbelief on their faces. Even my master does.

　However, I have memories of my previous life. Therefore, I know that there is a continent on the other side of the ocean and that the planet is round. Well, I don't know if this world is round or not, but since the morning comes and goes into the night, it must be rotating on its own axis.

'There are seven continents in this world, as shown on this map. The map of just the continents we are on now, as you have all learned, is not a lie, but it is also a mistake.

What do you mean by that?

'Why does the map only show our continent on which we live? The reason is simple: we don't have the technology to go to the other continents. The reason is simple: we don't have the technology to go to the other continents. That's why we've been taught since ancient times that this world is only our continent.
　The reason is that the seven continents are quite far apart from each other, and on top of that, the oceans are inhabited by tremendous demons. None of the continents have the technology to build ships that can get past them and cross the ocean, so this situation continues because no one knows about it.

　Everyone falls silent at Aster's words. Well, it can't be helped. I can understand it because of the history in my past life, but everyone else is probably having a hard time keeping up with all the surprising facts they've never heard before.

　Even in a past life, going out to sea is a great adventure. This is the world where there are monsters that didn't exist in the previous life, and there is no one who is crazy enough to take the initiative to go out to sea.

''Hmmm, it's slightly hard to believe, but when presented with a map like this, I can't help but believe it. So the fact that you mentioned these seven continents has something to do with Aster being called in, doesn't it?

'Yes, I relate. In this world we are in, there are seven gods entrusted with the administration of seven pillars. As you can see from the numbers, one pillar is in charge of one continent, and this continent will of course be me. And the one who called us to the divine realm this time is Gila, who manages the continent in the first west.
　He summoned us because he wanted to prove that those who live on his continent are superior to those who live on other continents.

...What does that mean?

　I guess I didn't understand just what you just said, Aeris asks Aster. I don't understand it very well either. What in the world does he want to say that for?

''Well, I suppose it's partly to pass the time for him, but he's trying to pick the best one on each continent to fight each one. To prove that the continent he manages is the best.

　.........haha, it's a nasty thing to start doing. The way the story goes, you're saying that you're better at managing the gods than any of them, so let's make a team for each continent to fight to prove it, right?　

　In a good way, it's a holy war by God's chosen people, but in a bad way, it's a pawn in God's leisure time game. The guy's a joke, that Gila.

''I managed to get off, but everyone else must have had a lot of free time on their hands, except for me, and I... this continent is going to join in.

　Aster, who looks truly apologetic and lowers her head. And.

'I'm continuing to bother you all with the Baron thing, but could you please help me!

　Aster says. He looks around with a bewildered look on his face, but... well, of course I have my answer.

''Sure, I'll take care of it.''

　It's a favor from my beloved wife. I guess it's a husband's job to make sure it gets done.
