Greetings and thank you to the Six Kingsā¦ā¦ With the Ten Demons done for the time being, all thatās left would be the Four Great Demon Dragons, the Seven Princesses, and Kuroās family. But to be honest, Iām pretty tired after meeting the Ten Demons, so Iād like to take some time off.
In particular, for the Seven Princesses, although I know Camellia-san and Ariel-san, I still need to greet five more of them, so it will definitely take me some time to greet all of them.
In any case, today I went out to the city to have a change of pace, and I happened to see a person I recognizedā¦ā¦ Shea-san. She had come to buy extremely spicy snacks in the past, so she might be visiting Symphoniaās royal capital from time to time.
[Hello, Shea-san. What a coincidence.]
Anyhow, since I had seen her, I called out to Shea-san, to which she looked back at me with a big smile on her faceā¦ā¦ Unnn?
[Ahh, if it isnāt Kaito? Iām glad to see youāre doing well.]
[ā¦ā¦Sorry, I got āthe wrong personā.]
Thatās strange. I thought it was Shea-san, but it seems like it was just another person that looked like herā¦ā¦ No, I mean, there was no way that Shea-san would respond to me with such a refreshing smile.
For her to not even click her tongue at me, itās obvious that I got the wrong personā¦ā¦ is what I thoughtā¦ā¦
[Whatās with that reaction, are you mocking me?]
[No, āwhatās with that reaction?ā, you askā¦ā¦ Thatās what Iād like to ask youā¦ā¦ Did something good happen?]
[That isnāt the case. Itās just that Iāve realized how necessary you are to this world, so I thought I should try to be more friendly to you to some extent.]
[ā¦ā¦Shea-san, I think youāve been working too hard and are sick. Should I lead you to the hospital?]
[ā¦ā¦Iāll smack you.]
Even just a while ago, she was wondering if I was among the intelligent beings of the world, but now, Iām tilting my head when her Affection Meters have become this high.
[I mean, how necessary I am to this worldā¦ā¦ What do you mean?]
[ā¦ā¦Itās because youāre hereā¦ā¦ Because youāre hereā¦ā¦ āGod of Fate is workingā!]
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, so thatās why Iām necessary for the world huh.]
[Iām really grateful for thisā¦ā¦ Really grateful!]
[I- It was that bad that you had to say it that way huhā¦ā¦]
I could already see what was going on, but the expression on Shea-sanās face was so sad that I couldnāt help but wonder what sorts of hardship she had gone through.
[Let me tell you, assisting God of Fate-sama is much harder than you think. First of all, as you well know, God of Fate wonāt work. No matter how hard we, her direct subordinates, work, our progress would always stop at the part where they needed God of Fate-samaās direction and approval. And even though I desperately asked her to do her jobā¦ā¦ of course, she just wonāt listen to me.]
[Of course, she wouldnāt.]
[She doesnāt listen to our words, so we would ask God of Time and Space-sama to scold her, but even then, she would only do a little bit of work. Really just a little bit of workā¦ā¦ Then, after making a bit of progress, she begins to grumble and escapes from the temple. After that, God of Time and Space-sama would have to catch her and scold her again, and she gets a little more work doneā¦ā¦ and so, such a repetitive cycle continues.]
[Isnāt that hell alreadyā¦ā¦]
I thought I was well aware of the fact that Fate-san doesnāt do her job, but when I heard it from her direct subordinates, who are actually affected by her laziness, the situation looked pretty bad.
[The work progressed little by little at a tortoise-like pace, and just before it became unmanageable, we finally completed itā¦ā¦ but then, when we were finally able to move after working ourselves to death, that was only for finishing one job. After we finished that one job, we would find that the next job was already nearing its due, and such a cycle went on and on.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦]
Itās a death march that almost brings tears to my eyes. It seems that Shea-san, who reported directly to Fate-san and had the highest position among the High-ranking Gods, was being worked very hard. Itās no wonder she would want to take it out on me when we first met.
[ā¦ā¦However, since you and God of Fate-sama became lovers, God of Fate-sama has been voluntarily working with us, and albeit irregularly, she still does so once a month. It was apparently because she doesnāt want God of Time and Space-sama to interrupt her time with youā¦ā¦]
[Ahh~~ Speaking of which, she did say something like that.]
[This was a revolution for us. God of Fate-sama holds a tremendous ability, which allows us to get all the work we have accumulated done in a day. This really helps usā¦ā¦ Even though it happens irregularly, she definitely does it at least once a month, so we can save the work that needs God of Fate-samaās direction and approval, and we can just go on with our other work.]
Itās true that the mental burden is different when you know that the work will be completed even if itās only once a month, rather than not knowing when the work would be finished.
[ā¦ā¦I was surprised. For me to have so much free time on my handsā¦ā¦ In fact, I have so much time on my hands that Iām not even sure what to do. I, as well as all the other Gods who are directly under God of Fate-sama, are truly grateful to you. Even God of Time and Space-sama was praising you.]
[Yeah, after all, her mental composure is completely different. She doesnāt have to ask God of Fate-sama to do her work while desperately trying to keep her in a good mood, lest she wouldnāt work at all. As long as she sets a deadline of around a month, we can be sure that all of the work will be completed on timeā¦ā¦ It is such a wonderful thing.]
I see. I could see now why Shea-sanās Affection Meter had dramatically increased. I mean, all she has to do is work diligently once a month, and theyāre praising me this muchā¦ā¦ Seriously, how much work did you run away from, Fate-sanā¦ā¦
