On the way to our next destination, we ran into the God of Earth, one of the High-ranking Gods and the one I had seen at the multiple-choice quiz a while ago. She said she came to greet meā¦ā¦ but why all of a sudden?
As if she was wondering about the same thing I did, Sky-san spoke with a curious expression on her face.
[Say your greetings to Kaito-san? Why now? No, I understand that you had some time on your hands now, but didnāt the Supreme Gods order all Gods not to bother Kaito-san with too much contact?]
[Yes, thatās why Iāll just say a quick hello before returning to my post. I was a little concerned that I was the only one not acquainted to Miyama Kaito-sama, when God of Life-sama and God of Sky already knew him, so I asked God of Life-sama for permission.]
[I see, so thatās how it isā¦ā¦]
Speaking of which, it seems that along with Sky-san, God of Earth-san is Life-sanās direct subordinate, kinda like her close aide. Indeed, she would have been in a delicate situation where her boss and coworker have already greeted me, but donāt know when sheāll be able to greet me herself.
[Errr, itās nice to meet you, Iām Miyama Kaito.]
[Nice to meet you too, Iām the assistant of God of Life-sama, āGod of Earth, Gaiaā. I would be happy if you could put my name in a corner of your memory.]
A light greeting was no problem at all, so I introduced myself, to which God of Earthā¦ā¦ Gaia-san bowed her head in an elegant manner and greeted me.
Her whole atmosphere is neat and elegant, and I feel like sheās somewhat mature. In terms of atmosphere, I think she resembles Life-san.
ā¦ā¦I donāt know if she had something like a dark side like Life-san doesā¦ā¦ but from a quick glance, she seems to be a good person.
[ā¦ā¦Well then, I finished my greetings, so Iāll be taking my leave.]
After a brief self-introduction, Gaia-san bowed to me once more and started to walk away, when she suddenly stopped as if she noticed something.
She then looked at the nearby Aoi-chan and kindly smiled at her.
[ā¦ā¦Excuse me, may I ask your name as well?]
[Eh? Me? Iām Kusunoki Aoi.]
[You have a high affinity with Earth. You must have a great aptitude for Earth-Attribute Magic?]
As Aoi-chan was confused, Gaia-san asked her about her affinity with magic. Aoi-chan certainly has a strong aptitude for Earth-Attribute Magic. Moreover, itās like a special aptitude unique to otherworlders.
I donāt know anything about other magic, with my Sympathy Magic as the only thing Iām considerably good at, but I think Aoi-chanās aptitude for Earth-Attribute Magic is really off the charts as well.
After all, after a year of practice, she was able to use a very high level of magic, so I think itās safe to say that affinity with Earth-Attribute Magic is extraordinary.
[Y- Yes. Earth-Attribute is my forteā¦ā¦ so Iāve been studying about it a lot.]
[I see, thatās very wonderful. You could say that you are loved by the earth. It makes me very happy to have met a child with such aptitude. Iād like to talk with you at length if I could, but weāre in the middle of the White God Festivalā¦ā¦ I canāt just pull you over to talk with me, right?]
[T- Thatās true. I would also have liked to talk with you about some thingsā¦ā¦]
Apparently, Gaia-san took a liking to Aoi-chan at first sight. Iām sure the studious Aoi-chan would have liked to talk to Gaia-san, who is a High-ranking God whose authority is close to her specialty.
However, as Gaia-san said, we are in the middle of the White God Festival, and Iām sure Gaia-san has a lot of work to do, so itās difficult for them to talk here.
Though I say that, the God Realmā¦ā¦ or rather, the middle-level and higher-level, where the High-ranking Gods reside, arenāt usually accessible to the public, so it may be difficult for them to schedule another meeting.
Seeing the disappointed expression on Aoi-chanās face, Gaia-san looked like she was thinking for a momentā¦ā¦ and a little later, she kindly smiled.
[You said your name is Aoi-san, right?]
[ā¦ā¦I bestow upon you the āBlessings of Earthā.]
When Gaia-san said those words with her hand held out, Aoi-chanās body was enveloped in a faint light.
[Informal my blessings to you might be, Iām interested in you. If you would like, please come and visit me another day. With my Informal Blessing, you would be able to enter the God Realmās middle-level.]
[T- Thank you very much!]
[Iām looking forward to the day we get to talk to each other. Well then, Iāll be taking my leave.]
After smiling at the Aoi-chan, who was feeling obliged, but happy, Gaia-san bowed with elegant movements and left.
Although this incident was a coincidence, I felt as if it would be the start of a very big breakthrough for Aoi-chan.
