Chapter 443 - Destruction God Visits and Preparing for Marriage.
# 443 Destruction God Visits and Preparing for Marriage.
âI see. Then everything went well.â
âYes. For the time being, His Majesty the King of Nokia may have a bad physical condition, so the first princess, Refia-sama, will take over the throne. Her sister, Paffia-sama, will assist her.
Upon receiving a report from Yumina, I was relieved enough to stroke my chest. Kanaza was sentenced to death, and the people who were being manipulated got their free will restored.
Princess Raffia was afraid of the power of Kanazaâs âLegacy of Elksâ getting abused âŠ. and she said she had destroyed it. She probably worried about the uprising of a second or third Kanaza if it was left aloneâŠ
âWell, Iâm glad everyone is safe.â
âOh, were you worried?â
Leen asked me that with some laughter in her voice.
âNo, I thought youâd be okay? I wasnât worried âŠâ
âMaster has been restless and was very drowsy in the mornings. Every time he saw the incoming call screen and realized it wasnât you, he got disappointed ⊠â
âKohaku âŠ!â
Kohaku, riding on Yuminaâs lap, said something that he agreed to not do. Itâs true that I was worried when the girls wouldnât call me, but still âŠ
Everyone else, who are in a circle around the round table on the balcony, look at me. Elze sighs with a bitter smile.
âHey, why were you worried? Didnât you say it was okay?â
âNo, I understand it in my head, but when I donât know if youâre okay I canât help but feel worriedâŠ.â
I feel that when theyâre out alone. Am I anxious just because theyâre not in the castle? Maybe the reason why I couldnât sleep was because I didnât know if the girls were safe. How could I just sleep while they are fighting?
When I think about it, I also make everyone think that way when I go somewhere without them ⊠I feel a bit bad. Because of Kohaku, I was made to think about various things that I could go withoutâŠ..
âWell, Nokia seems to be thinking about increasing its diplomacy little by little from now on, and is in a stable state.â
âYes. By the way, Touya, weâve been wondering about it since a while ago, so âŠâ
Hilda and Yae turned their eyes to the person sitting on the sofa, facing Grandma Tokie from indoors. Well, Iâm also curious âŠ
âYou look fine. You havenât gotten so old yet, Space-time God.â
âFufufu. You should stop talking, this naughty kid. Shall I sew that mouth of yours?â
It seems like a verbal battle if you only listen to the words, but since there is laughter mixed in there, it seems like a civil conversion, maybe?
Grandma Tokie called the person in front of her a naughty kid, but she doesnât look like a kid.
She looks as old as Grandma Tokie, but her body is covered with trained muscles that look like steel armor. Sheâd be a good match with the old man Baba. The old man with black eyes and hair and a beard reminds me of a Japanese person. The clothes he wears reminds me of a monk. (TLN: The person Touya just talked about isnât the person who is sitting facing Grandma Tokie. The person he talked about is Baba Nobuharu, a person from Eashen. Go google him if you want more informationâŠâŠ make sure to type âIn Another World with a Smartphoneâ at the end since he was actually a real personâŠâŠâŠ)
âIs that person also a God-related person?â
âYeah, well ⊠I didnât think I would come down here âŠâ
When the Destruction God honestly answered Hildaâs question, everyone around me was frozen.
Lou quivered, lowered the cup and opened her mouth.
âHuh ⊠God of Destruction-sama, what are you doing here âŠ?â
âI have a proposal, and if you accept, it would be helpful for me. Here, Iâve brought sake and didnât tell her so as to not have it quickly disappear.â
On the table in front of the God of Destruction, there is a big sake bottle and cups. As a matter of course, Suika is accompanying the God of Destruction since she seems to be everywhere there is a drink. (TLN: Suika= God of Alcohol. Also, Iâve decided to call Gods and Goddesses âGod of ____â.)
âAre you technically Touya-sanâs aunt âŠ?â
âIs the God of Destruction-sama his aunt?â
âShe looks pretty strong âŠâ
âYeah, I donât think thatâs the case.â
I think itâs different ⊠I donât think sheâs my aunt. Kousuke is a good uncle, but I donât want an aunt. I donât think sheâs a sister to the meek Farming God. Kousuke and that buff Destruction God look far too different.
Oh, Grandma Tokie is beckoning me.
âSpeak a little to her.â
âGood luck!â
âNo, I am just going to talk. Why do I need good luck?.â
While laughing to the good luck wish of Yae, with a cup with sake in my hand, I headed for the table surrounded by the three gods.
âWell, sit down.â
Prompted by Grandma Tokie, I decided to sit next to her. In front of me is the Destruction God who swallows and drinks sake at a fast pace.
âDo you drink a lot?â
âOh no. I donât like alcohol.â
âReallyâŠ.?â
While I said that skeptically, the God of Destruction poured herself some sake from the sake into a cup and swallowed it, and repeated the process.
âIâll get straight to the point. Can you be my successor?â
âWhat?â
Successor of what?
âIâm asking you to replace me as the Destruction God.â
âHuh!? No no no! Why me !?â
Why do you want me to become The Destruction God!??! God Company, is this your type of relocation!?
âRight now, thereâs no one who can succeed me if I retire from active duty. I think youâre surprisingly talented and, with a little training, you can become a type that can destroy a world without having any feelings! â
No, even if her judgement is made unofficially, I cannot become the God of Destruction. What is it that can destroy the world coldly? Is it a devil? (TLN: I donât think he is insulting the God of Destruction, just stating the factsâŠâŠ.)
âIf you become the Destruction God, you will have a lot of flexibility. You can be free of all responsibilities except in case of an emergency, and you will not be forced to do anything by other gods. And, what I personally like, you can crush any world as you like. â
âYou can say something so horrible so calmly!?â
. This person is a god in a bad way. Is destroying all you want to do?
âDonât get me wrong, the existence of a Destruction God is necessary for some reasons. A world that is out of the godsâ control becomes very terrible which is then called a demon world. Then, we need to have an existence that ends it. That existence is the Destruction God. After destroying that world, a new world will be created to replace the destroyed one.â (TLN: It says âdemon worldâ but I wonder if there is a better phrase to replace it with?)
Grandma Tokie follows up the Destruction Godâs statement. Is that so? So creation is born after destruction?
âWell, think a little. This world will also have to be destroyed one day so that a new one can be created. Nothing lasts forever.â
âPlease say something that is a bit more auspicious.â
How can you talk about destroying this world so easily? Even though we all had a hard time trying to avoid its destruction from the Fraise and such thingsâŠ..
When the God of Destruction drank the last of the sake from the sake bottle, she stood up.
âWell, Iâm now done with what I wanted to do here, and want to go to a bar in this mortal world. Sake God, may you guide me?â
âOh! Oh, Touya-oniisan, please give me some money.â
âHuh!? You want me to pay for your drinks?!â
I mean, why do you even need to go to a bar?! I donât think itâs okay for the God of Destruction to wander around our world!
However, if I donât give her money, sheâll come back tomorrow, asking for it again. Also, she may misbehave and get it some other wayâ one that isnât morally good. I really donât want that type of pestering. I wonder if this is a kind of blackmailing? (TLN: Lol. Blackmailing using annoyance as the trump card haha. xD )
I give Suika a generous amount of money and tell her to call me if anything goes wrong, which she probably wonât do. I wish she would do it.
I donât think even the God of Destruction will break the rules and use her godly powers in the mortal realm ⊠However, there is something called being drunk and forgetting. But there also isnât an excuse like âIt doesnât matter since I was drunk.â as well.
âIt doesnât matter because I was drunk.â is no excuse for being drunk while swearing and being violent. If youâre drinking for the first time, and you know youâll maybe get that way when you get drunk, donât drink. (TLN: Life advice from Touya!)
I think that those people just want to shift responsibility onto the excuse of âbecause of alcohol.â. I really feel sorry for people who canât take hard alcohol and need to blame it to get out of trouble.
Well, I think it doesnât matter to the God of Alcohol, though, since it is basically a tradition of hers to get drunk.
Suika is now leaving the room with the God of Destruction while skipping. I wonder if they will go out to the bar in the castle town. Should I contact Ende later? He said he wouldnât get drunk no matter how heavy the drinks areâŠ. But will he be able to stand the pressure of the Destruction God? Heâs already nervous just being around Kosuke-san, Karen-nee, Moroha-nee, and the other gods whoâve come down.
âYouâve called on me so many times to monitor the activities of those gods. I turned off my smartphone because of you, Touya-san!â
âOne sacrifice will prevent the sacrifice of a lot of others âŠâ
âTerrible !?
Thereâs a lot of work to do here. There is no time to deal with the whims of the gods. Ende must shoulder that endeavour on his own.
ââââ
âHmm âŠâ
I was searching alone in my room, searching for some sites on my smartphone. (TLN: Before you ask, Touya is not a perv! Heâs looking at some helpful sites, not 18+ ones!)
For the wedding with everyone, I need to research about the customs and ceremonies. However, there may be a few minor differences between Earth and this world.
Well, I guess Iâll just have to adapt to the way this world works!
By the way, I even searched for a âList of things to do before the weddingâ.
⥠Propose. (No wonder)
⥠Report to each otherâs parents and get their consent.
⥠Decide on the wedding venue and date.
⥠Choose an engagement ring.
⥠Decide on a new home.
⥠Decide where to go for your honeymoon.
⥠Decide on a wedding reception program.
⥠Send invites to guests.
⥠Report to your employer.
⥠Decide on a wedding dress.
⥠Consider decorations, gifts to your guests, etc.
⥠Create invitations.
⥠Arrange for photography, video recording, etc.
⥠Decide on the menu for the reception.
⥠Decide who is in charge of the reception and venue of the after party.
⥠Place an order for a bouquet.
⥠Decide the order of seats.
⥠Decide who to ask for a speech or reception.
⥠Prepare a wedding ring.
⥠Do a rehearsal of the customs.
⥠Take a pre-photograph.
⥠Prepare the letter to the bride.

etc., etc..
This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so I need to make this a great thingâŠ. but it is so hard to do âŠ
Well, in our case, the venue is this castle, and our new house is also this castle. Also, the workplace is crossed off since I donât exactly work.
Besides, I donât even need to do everything since Kosaka-san, Cecile-san, and Liam-san, the butler, are working on it, so I donât have as many things to do.
Still, there was some work I had to do âŠ
âFirst of all, I guess I need to get the wedding rings? Iâve already given them engagement rings, but Iâd like to design new and official wedding rings that are much simpler and can be worn in day-to-day life âŠâŠ â
Mithril seems to be the material mostly used for royal aristocratsâ wedding rings. There seems to be a tradition where the kingâs ring is made out of Orichalcum and the queenâs is made out of Mithril.
I will make the wedding rings by using [Modeling].
âNow, the thing I need to think about is the honeymoon âŠâ
Actually, I have an idea about this. I want to let everyone who gets married to me meet my parents.
Of course, Iâm supposed to have died on Earth, so Iâm going to take the form of âa dream.â
I also want to show everyone the world in which I was born.
It is possible to go back to Earth if I use [Space-time Magic] that uses divine power. (TLN: This said [transition to another space]. I wonder if it is talking about using [Teleport] with some divinity? Well, for now Iâll just call it [Space-time Magic].)
This privilege to be able to go back to Earth is probably the best part of me becoming a god. Originally, I was supposed to never return to Earth.
âWell, first of all, letâs get ready for the wedding ceremony.â
Itâs not just a wedding. The wedding is also a place where every king of each country will gather at. Of course, as always, safety is taken into consideration, but apart from that, I canât show a bad appearance in front of those people.
Exaggeratedly, itâs the honor of Brunhild. It doesnât matter if Iâm the only one laughed at, but itâs unbearable for Yumina and everyone who worked hard to be laughed at.
Therefore, I cannot cut corners. Kosaka-san is making a list of invited guests, but in my case I have to manage my own invited guests.
âIs it okay for the God of Strength to be an uncle who is proud of the power of his family? Is the God of Glasses ⊠an uncle who likes glasses in the family âŠ.?â (TLN: Wtf did I just translate? I swear that I donât know if these are the names of the gods. I hope they are, because it would then be funnyâŠ.. and I also wouldnât be wrongâŠ.)
Iâm making a list of invited guests on my smartphone, which also contains some gods. No, I canât decide who to inviteâŠ..! I hope that this isnât like Iâm cutting corners.
âBeep!â
Suddenly, my smartphone notified me of an incoming call. Lapis-san?
âYes, hello?â
âYour Majesty. Zanac is here. I heard that the dresses were made. â
âOh, I see. Iâm going to his store now.â
I answered Lapis-san and hung up the call. The dress I talked about with her was not for me, but for my fiancees.
I sent an email to all of the girls at once telling them that their dresses were ready, since broadcasting the information to all of them at one time is much easier to do than to tell them one by one.
After cleaning up the desk, I leave my room. When I entered the dressing room next to the room with all of the purchasable clothes, everyone had already worn the wedding dresses given to them by Zanac-san with the help of some maids.
However, itâs spectacular to see the nine dresses in their white dresses.
âCan I touch the dresses for a moment?â
âDid you wash your hands?â
âIâve already washed them.â
I lightly touch the hem of Elzeâs dress. It is created from a mesh-like material with a smooth feel and is light. It feels like this dressâs materials are different from Linzeâs fabric.
âAre they created out of different fabrics?â
âOf course. Each has its own characteristics, and we carefully selected materials that are suitable for the design and created them with delicate work. Only the best can be accepted in my stores, Fashion King Zanac!â
Zanaz-san has a proud look on his face. Zanacâs store has become quite large compared to when I first met him. He has a branch office for both Leaf Lease and the Regulus Empire. (TLN: I believe that these are countries, and I know of the Regulus Empire since it is Luâs kingdom, but what about Leaf Lease? I think Iâve heard something similar before, but I just canât pinpoint where I heard it from.)
All of the girls are wearing clothes that I told Zanac-san to prepare. In other words, clothes designed from Earth. The kings who saw it at the World Conference placed an order directly at Zanacâs shop, and a link with some aristocrats, and some Royal Families was created..
âThen we need to make some final adjustments such as size. Please get out of the dressing rooms.â
âOops.â
According to the words of the head maid Lapis, both Zanac-san and I are kicked out of the room. Well, canât it be helped, can it?
While sitting in a chair in the hallway and talking to Zanac-san about the recent situation, it turned out that he was beginning to incorporate fasteners into his clothes. I was surprised.
âWhere did you learn of such things?â
âHaha, what are you talking about? When I first met His Majesty the King, werenât they on the clothes you gave me?â
Ah. Ah! Really! Is it a zipper that fits in the blazer pants? (TLN: A fly frontâŠ.)
. I guess I will have to wait until the day of the wedding to find out how they look in their dresses.
âYour Majesty ~~. I will fit your clothes, so please go inside ~~â
I was called by Cecil who came out of the door. Oh, my clothes âŠ
I asked for them to be as plain as possible, but I wonder what they look like this time. The last time we did this, there were pretty flashy clothes ⊠Letâs stop these thoughts for the time being. The girls have a tendency to make flashy clothesâŠ.
Well, I guess it canât be helped. The girls are the protagonists of the wedding. I went into the dressing room with a sigh, whispering, saying that the man was nothing more than an adjunct to the brides.
