18-Something wrong with my second party member. 3



 'd*mn! What happened!

 I opened my closed eyelids (eyelids) thinly.

 'Wow, wow...'
 ....

 What spread out in front of me was a crater and black smoke that looked as if it had fallen from a meteorite. The swarm of komomo dragons was turning over with a thumping sound. The green plains that had existed until just a few moments ago had not retained their original form.
 For some reason, Aria, who was still being held by me, looks behind her.

 I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. And look at Aria! This is magic! It's called magic!
 ....

 What does he have to say for himself? ......... It's so different from your own verbal magic that you can't face reality.

 'But it's still awesome! I want to use mine! Stella! Do it again!

 I looked back. But there was no sign of Stella.

 'Huh? Where is he?
 KAKEL

 The Aria in my arms and poking me in the arm.

 I'm sure you'll be able to tell. I'm impressed by the fancy magic I just saw... hmm?

 I felt uncomfortable in my right leg. Aria pointed towards my right foot.

 Kakeru ... the boy.
 Hmm?

 I looked at the uncomfortable side, that is, at the thing attached to my right leg.
 It's very cute. ........not.

 Hey, Miss Aria. I've seen this little girl in a familiar outfit, face and hair color. She's smiling and holding on to my leg.
 'So, sir. I think I was talking to the person who made the boy grow up just a few minutes ago.
 'Come to think of it, I think you mentioned that Stella's magic has a downside.
 I think I've heard something like that too.

 Oh, come on. What's the downside of that wonderful magic?

 Stella...?

 I called out to the little guy, who was only about my waist height, with trepidation.
 He was smiling and smiling.

 That's right! Straws are not straws! My God, you are a straw god! Who are these chicks? Don't tell me you're a straw man?
 "...and...

 What to do. I didn't just infantilize him. I don't even remember him growing up. I mean, he doesn't even know me, and I'm still here, attached to his leg. What am I going to do?

 "Wait here for a minute, little Stella.
 Hmm? I get it!

 I told little Stella and then moved a little further away with Aria.

 'Hey, do something,'
 I don't know!
 You're a little Stella, you got your own thing going on. You can handle it.
 What does it have to do with me? I'm a fine, grown-up woman!
 'No, see. That boy calls himself God, and his IQ is similar.
 'Aikyuu? I don't know what a "what" is, but I can tell you that we're being ridiculed. But what do you want me to do about it?
 'In the meantime, let him know you're not the enemy and go open up to him. It's easier to get along with a homos*xual, Aria, than with me, a guy, right?
 Well, well, if that's the case...
 You're in charge.

 Aria walked up to Stella and after a bit of talking....



 He came running back with a pebble thrown at him.

 'It's crazy, that boy! You've thrown a stone at me, God!
 ....

 This guy is useless.

 I'll just go out there and say it.
 'Be careful! He's going to throw rocks at you! Stone!

 You're the only one who can do that to me.
 I headed over to little Stella, who was fiddling with the grass in her spare time.

 'Hey, Stella.'

 I've got to keep smiling as much as possible.

 'What is it? Do you feel uncomfortable? After all, you're a good onian!

 Oh, my God! She's terrible! 
 I'm going to stop smiling. I'm going to cry.

 "I'm not the enemy, I'm on your side.
 No! That lady over there said she was mad about me! The gods are alone in this world!

 Hey, what is that piece of shit talking about? It's getting harder and harder to deal with.

 No, I'm not. That sister is crazy, I'm sorry? So the only God here is Stella, right?
 Oh, I don't know! I knew it was just a strawberry!
 'Yes, yes! I'm Kakeru, and my crazy sister over there is called Aria. Nice to meet you.

 For now, I think someone told me that the right thing to do with little kids is to nod and affirm them.

 'Hang it up! I'd like to ask you something.
 What is it?
 Was this the straw that broke the camel's back?

 The little Stella had the earth gouged out of her fingertips by celestial magic.
 Do you realize that this child has become an infant?
 I nodded.

 'Yes,'
 'Right! Wawa can't use a magic spell or anything like that! That's what makes a grown-up strawberry so special! After all, only a strawberry with a kamisama can do this kind of bang!
 'Mmmm! That's right, Stella! I'd like you to come back to town with us... how about that?

 In the meantime, it's not safe to take a little girl like this out of town, for all kinds of reasons. Let's just go back to the city and leave Stella somewhere.
 It's a shame to miss out on Stella's celestial magic, but as expected of a party of adventurers, it would be too bad if she were to be turned into a young woman in the middle of a quest. It seems that that that amazing magic can't be used if you become an infant. It would be better if I directly asked Stella, who has returned to her former self, to decline to join the party.
 Besides, I can't handle a single companion who insists he's a god by himself any more than I can handle a single person who is a pain in the ass.

 ''Haha! I like my strawberry feeling! You are the god of the straw, so I'll do what Kake, the thug, asks! Hahaha!
 ....

 What? What did you just say? It sounded like a servant to me.

 Stella? Where did you learn the word servant?
 Hmm? The creature known as a man was pleased to hear that the bracken was shabby. Isn't it wrong to call it a game?

 Hey, what kind of pervert are you, huh?

 "Uh-huh. I'm not a pervert who enjoys hearing those words, okay? It's just Kakeru's brother.
 "...? It's not a straw man's hole, is it?
 ....

 It's a pain in the ass!
