40-Journey to the royal capital



 After the pump goblins lost their souls and turned into a mass of flesh.
 We return to the ceiling-less Ori and resume our journey to King's Landing.
 On the road, bright as daylight, lit by a full moon that shines so bright that the stars are hazy.

 'Fools and scissors are for use, eh?'
 It's a bit strange. What do you mean by that? Are you making fun of me?

 I look at Aria, who makes a dissatisfied face in response to my mutterings.
 Word magic, I think it's a magic that can be used more. As long as this guy isn't an idiot.

 ''What is it? Are you making fun of me after all?
 I'm not. I'm just grateful.

 I let out a small breath and say my true feelings.

  Then fine.

 Touka said to Aria, who shook her head in a huff.

 ''I'm grateful to Aria too, you know. I don't want to enter King's Landing with the return blood of a goblin on my hands.''
 'Touka is a girl, you know. I'm just doing what I deserve to do as a mate.
 The girls I know don't play with giant monsters like that with a big smile on their face.
 "Shut up (sic).

 Touka and Aria's voices overlap, and I snicker and flush it away.
 When we eradicated the goblins, Touka and I were wet with their return blood and emitted a stench.
 It was fine until Aria's verbal magic got rid of the liquid on our bodies.

 Shit.
 As a god, I can't really go that far, can I?
 'But I'm sure Aria would have made it better.
 ....

 That's true, though. If I had entered King's Landing in that state, I would have definitely attracted some strange stares.
 I moved my gaze to a beautiful wisteria-haired girl gazing at the starry sky.

 You didn't use any magic. I'm sure you're thinking, 'Kuhaha! Looks like it's time for a concubine!'' And then you were going to come forward.
 'What is Kakeru saying? If I had used celestial magic right then and there, I wonder what I would have done in this cage by now...

 After all, you're the only one smart enough for this party.

 You know what I'm talking about.
 Haha. I'm an adult.

 But this guy is no longer shy when you say "Jia" to him. He was a little shy and cute when I first met him. I'm afraid of getting used to it.

 'But why was Aria afraid of goblins? Even I could have beaten him. The pump goblins surprised me too, but Touka took them out with plenty of time to spare.
 "...what? How could I, being a god, be afraid of monsters?
 You said "no more tears", didn't you? "It's over in tears," you said.
 Do you have any proof? If you're saying I was freaked out, then you need to provide proof. Evidence.
 'Everyone here is a witness! Right?

 I let my gaze drift to Touka and Stella.

 "...and...

 Godd*mn it, these guys. I wish this world had a smartphone.
 Each of them were looking at a faraway place. As for Stella, she shook her shoulders and held back her laughter.

 ''There's no way Aria-sama, a god, would be afraid of dealing with a monster.
 ....

 Taking the reins, Will turned around and smiled.
 'Hey, someone shut this useless knight up.

 'Hmph! There seems to be no proof of this! I win!
 What's the game?

 I tsked at the lollipops with no breasts, and I looked up at the sky.

 An uneventful time passed as the night breeze caressed my cheek.
 It's been almost three months since I came to another world. I'm surrounded by people who are always a pain in the ass. They're stupid, mysterious, and screwed up. It's far from the rosy reincarnation life I had in mind.
 But.........I'm having a good time every day. Unlike Japan, this is a different world where there isn't much entertainment.
 To be honest, I was worried about how I was going to survive in a world that didn't have anime, games, manga or the internet. I was only worried about transferring to another world where I didn't get the cheat ability.
 But, although I don't have a favorite pastime, time flies when you're dealing with these guys. Besides, the "Soul Blessing", which I thought was a waste of time, can be used for searching for enemies, and the "Axel" is an all-around skill that can be used as an evasion skill despite its disadvantages. 
 A person like me, who enjoyed indoor hobbies on weekends, is now on an adventure surrounded by beautiful girls. Today, I was able to eradicate more than 20 goblins in an instant. I've been able to spend my days like that.
 This kind of other-worldly life might not be so bad, I was beginning to think, when Aria opened her mouth.

 ''Speaking of which, what does the king want with us?''

 With that one word, I remember.
 I forgot. What was I going to do? I wasn't just slaying goblins and getting carried away.
 I was being invited by the king to meet the dragon hunters.
 What's wrong with this otherworldly life? If I'm right, that peace of mind will be gone.

 I didn't mention Aria's statement and continued to look up at the sky.
 The clunker said something, but I'm ignoring it now. You can't refuse the king's orders anyway, so there's no point in thinking about it now.
 But if Stella or Touka had stopped Aria at that time, this wouldn't have happened and we would have been lounging in the inn by now.

 And so, with regret and anxiety, my first trip to another world has come to an end.
