The man sleeping in the next room would probably live with me for a while. So it would be an issue if I knew nothing about him. What kind of person was he, and why was he sleeping here? Not to mention, sleeping naked. There were so many things I wanted to ask.
A pause, and G.o.d texted, "His name is Sig. He comes from a world different from you and is revered as a hero there.”
“A hero…”
Then G.o.d texted me some more information. The hero's body certainly looked tempered from steel. With that appearance, I couldn't help but believe that he's a hero.
Looked like apart from this miniature garden, G.o.d also watched over other worlds. Including the world of that blonde man, Sig.
There, two powerful races fought for absolute dominance, a b.l.o.o.d.y feud lasting generations. And Sig was the only person who managed to stop it.
In addition to power, he seized the heart of everyone with his rare charisma. Yet such a nature ultimately led to him sacrificing his life to end the war.
I see. So he was truly someone deserving of being referred to as a hero… Wait a minute. Did I read that correctly?
“T-that person, is he dead?”
Face pale, I edged a bit farther from the door to his room.
Oh my G.o.d. Now wonder he didn't wake up when I barged in there!
Then G.o.d sent me a response. “Calm down. You'll know just by touching him that he's alive. His breathing and heartbeat are normal.”
Eh, was it okay for me to touch him just like that? Wasn't he the hero that saved his world? Also, he's naked, you know?
"This kid had to choose a difficult path because of his outstanding ability. And he doesn't regret it at all. But don't you think it's too pitiful for such wonderful kid to die as a virgin?"
Shocked, I read the message again in case my eyes had played tricks on me.
Did G.o.d misspeak? No, it seemed like the word "virgin" was used correctly due to the context.
“G.o.d…?”
"I made this miniature garden for him. The plan was for him to wake up with a girl curled up by his side, gazing at him with a smile. Before long, the two of them would fall in love, leading to his loss of virginity. And then they'd be surrounded by many children and live happily ever after."
“G.o.d…”
"However, something inexplicable and urgent occurred. While I was looking for a suitable partner for him, an unfamiliar ‘man' wandered into my miniature garden! I tried to quickly expel him, but it was already too late. That man opened the front door just like that…”
"G.o.d, I'm really sorry. Tomorrow I will work myself like a horse so that I can purchase the bridge and leave this place as soon as possible! But anything more than that…"
I slammed my forehead onto the flat screen of my smartphone as I kowtowed to it.
G.o.d then said that this world had started to "move." If that's the case, then this miniature garden was supposed to activate once a "beautiful maiden" had arrived.
A feeling of dread in my stomach, I checked the smartphone screen. Sure enough, a new message appeared.
"Since it has already come to this, Minoru will make this miniature garden beautiful. My first plan has been ruined, but there is still plenty of time. Until you finish building the bridge, I'll carefully search for that child's ‘bride.'”
Yeah, I knew it. G.o.d's biased as always.
I mustn't cry. I was the one who trespa.s.sed anyway. Plus, I just needed to build the bridge to return home.
Not only that, everything felt like part of a game. It's interesting. The fact that I received a game-like currency from weeding the garden was already bizarre.
“Until then, please take care of that kid, Minoru.”
“Even if you say ‘take care'… What, should I give him water or help him get dressed or something?” Hopefully, my nonchalant words would influence G.o.d, so that he would want to see that guy dressed.
There's someone who had to look at him, namely yours truly. And his nude state made me uncomfortable.
"He doesn't need that kind of care… All I ask is for you to be as close to him as possible."
A sigh escaped my lips. "I understand.”
It's surprising that he didn't need to eat or drink, but for me to have to stay as close as possible to him as an exchange…
This was troubling. However, I'd already planned to work hard starting tomorrow. I wasn't aware of it before, but perhaps I was the type who easily became lonely.
From now on you would occasionally see my face, so please forgive me, hero.
I still didn't understand what you had said before though, G.o.d. What did you mean by "it's his own wish to be nude?"
