It was the day before the White God Festival, the first festival to occur in the God Realm, and the Gods were doing their final checks.
The checks went without a hitch as they had spent a lot of time preparing for this event, and just as the three Supreme Gods were assembling the Gods to tell them what to expect tomorrow, Chronois spoke, as if sheās muttering to herself.
[-Understood. Well then, Iāll have it arranged that way.]
The nearby Fate and Life sensed that Shallow Vernal had given her some kind of instruction, so they quieted down the other Gods and waited for Chronoisā words.
Thereupon, she looked at the assembled Gods and told them Shallow Vernalās instructions.
[Iāve just received instructions from Shallow Vernal-sama. During tomorrowās White God Festival, when Miyamaās group arrives at the middle level, God of Sky will serve as their guide!]
[Eh!? M- Me!? Not one of the Supreme Gods?]
The instructions given by Chronois were more astonishing to Sky than anyone else. From her perspective, she had no idea why she was being nominated.
Being the guide for Kaito, he who is extremely important for the God Realmā¦ā¦ There shouldnāt be any reason why she should be the one to do this, instead of Kaitoās friends, Chronois and Life, or even Fate, his lover.
Still, being that the Supreme Gods would be focusing on this festival, she could understand why theyād be managing it and was unable to guide him, but even if they had to choose among the high-ranking Gods, God of Disasters, who is friends with Kaito and had the highest position among the high-ranking Gods, would normally be the first choice.
(Of course, as long as Shallow Vernal-sama commands it, thereās no way I would refuse. Iām sure Shallow Vernal-sama had some deep thoughts in mind when she deliberately nominated me instead of God of Disasters.)
Although she was surprised, sheās still a God. Shallow Vernalās words were absolute for her, and even though she was confused, God of Sky agreed to guide Kaito.
Thinking that Shallow Vernal must have thoughts deeper than she could comprehendā¦ā¦
Of course, āthere was no deep thought about itā, and she was simply selected from a garapon lottery machine, but she had no way of knowing that.
Sky was both nervous and motivated by the important role she had been assigned, when she felt a hand placed on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw her direct superior, Life, with a gentle smile on her face.
[Itās indeed a great honor to be appointed by Shallow Vernal-sama. Since itās the excellent you, Iām sure youāll be able to handle it without any problems, but I wish youād keep your mind focused on the task.]
[ā¦ā¦Well, of course, I think this isnāt possible. But just in case, Iāll give you a heads up.]
As she spoke in a very gentle voice, Life slightly opened her normally closed eyesā¦ā¦ Her lips were smiling, but her red eyesā¦ā¦ werenāt smiling at all.
[If by any chance any carelessness occursā¦ā¦ Iāll make you believe that āall the pain and sufferingā you have experienced in your life has been āan extremely sweet and gentle blessingāā¦ā¦ āIāll have you personally experience it with that body of yoursāā¦ā¦ but I wonāt have to worry about that, would I?]
Of all the Supreme Gods, Life is the strictest when it comes to matters that may be blasphemous to Shallow Vernal. And this time, Shallow Vernal herself had appointed Sky as Kaitoās guide, so carelessness in this job would be tantamount to smearing Shallow Vernalās honor.
Therefore, Lifeās words werenāt a thread. Knowing full well that this future would definitely occur if carelessness occurs, Sky shakily nodded.
Sky moved away from the group of Gods and with bloodshot eyes, she checked the schedule of the White God Festival over and over again. Seeing Sky like that, Fate, riding on a cushion floating in the air, approached her.
[!? God of Fate-sama!? Is there something I can help you with?]
[I thought you were being a bit too worked up. God of Life really is mean. āThreatening you like that knowing that it will never happenā.]
Hearing the words Fate leisurely said, Sky looked puzzled. Sky was Lifeās direct subordinate, and because she understands Lifeās characterā¦ā¦ She was certain that if she had done something wrong, what awaits her would be a hell worse than death, but Fate told her that it will never happen.
[ā¦ā¦After all, that ācarelessnessāā¦ā¦ Who is it that would judge your actions as such?]
[T- That would be Miyama Kaito-sama?]
[Unnn, thatās right. On top of that, Kai-chan is very kind, you know? If God of Sky made some kind of mistake, thereās no way Kai-chan would say that itās carelessness.]
[ā¦ā¦Now that you mentioned itā¦ā¦]
[If Kai-chan doesnāt think itās carelessness, how can God of Life judge it on her own? Moreover, thereās no way she could confirm it. After all, asking Shallow Vernal-samaās lover, Kai-chan something like āWas there carelessness of some kind that occurred with your guide?ā would be disrespectful in itself. In the end, God of Life had no way to judge thatā¦ā¦ Todayās warning was just to make sure you wonāt be negligent.]
Seeing Fateās smile as she said that, Sky was clearly relieved.
[God of Skyā¦ā¦ You were getting āa little excitedā by Shallow Vernal-samaās appointment. God of Life has recently become aware of the subtleties of such emotions after all~~]
[Well, making sure you donāt get excited, do your best~~]
[Y- Yes! Thank you very much!]
After bowing her head at Fate as she fluttered away while waving at her, Sky brought her hand on her chin and thought.
Indeed, as Fate pointed out, being entrusted with an important task by Shallow Vernal, she couldnāt deny that she was inwardly elated.
(ā¦ā¦I really appreciate her pointing this out to me. This would have been difficult for me to notice on my ownā¦ā¦ I have to discipline myself not to get too excited, but I also need to relax so that I wonāt become stiff and my efforts wonāt be wastedā¦ā¦ Shallow Vernal-sama trusted my abilities and entrusted me with this big role. Letās make sure to carry out my role perfectly!)
ā¦ā¦Once again, regardless of her abilities, it was Kaito who appointed her through a lottery machine.
(The Supreme Gods have been showing changes lately. Perhaps, that is the sign of our growth that Shallow Vernal-sama mentioned earlier. I suppose after the Supreme Gods, she expects for us high-ranking Gods to grow next, and I will be the first one to do so!)
ā¦ā¦Shallow Vernal had no such intention at all.
(Shallow Vernal-sama must have had some deep thoughts that I canāt even begin to fathom! Iām definitely chosen over the Supreme Gods and God of Disasters because serving as Miyama Kaito-samaās guide this time would be a great source of sustenance for my growth.)
ā¦ā¦I know weāre being repetitive here, but she was just chosen from a garapon lottery machine. Shallow Vernal didnāt tamper with the lottery at all, so she was just randomly chosen.
(ALRIIIIIIIIIGHT! LETāS DO OUR BEEEEEEST!)
ā¦ā¦There are some things in this world that are better left unknown, and it would be better for the motivated Sky to not know that she was chosen through a garapon lottery machine.
