The Man Picked up by the Gods

Just a month has passed since I got home from Lenav.

When I woke up and went to the surface, a clear blue sky in the morning entered my eyes. Morning is still cool, but the sun has been hot enough these days. Temperatures will rise again later today. In the Adventurer Guild, we've often seen adventurers who can use ice magic intend that it's time to make money... it's summer...

The last few days I have been building and storing waterproof cloths for delivery in preparation for the long journey, so I feel more refreshed. It would be a shame to spend such a beautiful day in a pit.

... I just had a paragraph of work, and I'm off today!

... and I don't have any particular plans, although I decided with momentum. So if I somehow came to my store to show my face, the store door was closed.

Speaking of which, you introduced a holiday starting this month...

I forgot about my shop by accident. When I thought of walking the city appropriately because I had no choice.

"Oh, isn't that you, Lyoma? What are you doing?

My neighbor called me.

"Good morning, Mr. Polyne. The store is closed, so I'm just appropriately wandering around the city. It's a beautiful day, so I don't think there's anything in the house."

Walking over as I say, Mr. Polyne is laughing.

"Sure. If it's such a beautiful day, you don't have to stay in your room. Yes, because of this, stop by our husband's shop. I take the usual slime bait."

"Thank you for everything"

Follow Mr. Polyne and get the blood, meat and bones to dispose of at Mr. Siege's shop. Is the summer getting closer and the meat getting worse, the amount of meat seems to be slightly higher?

I'm taking care of them, and should I give them a fridge?... No, that'll keep me busy. The refrigerator in the store is just a box when I'm not in this city, and I still can't give you a refrigerator gift.

When I think about it, suddenly there's a loud noise in the store.

"Ka-chan!

"You don't have to shout like that. I hear you!

The Lord of the Voice is Mr. Polyne's son. It's Rick, the little guy.

"Was Lyoma there, too?"

"Morning, Rick."

"Be as decent as saying hello!

Little poke, Mr. Polyne and little poke, Rick.

"So, what?

"It was! Tor's here, I'm coming!

"Oh, it's time for that."

"Is Rick going somewhere?

"What, you don't know Lyoma? It's church cleanup day, isn't it?

"Once every two months, the children of the city clean the city's churches and do chores."

"Thank God we clean the church!

It's like cleaning up the area...

A little impressed with Rick's words, Mr. Polyne came to me with a bitter laugh.

"Don't be fooled, there's no way my kid would say such a fine thing. I'm just saying what I've heard all along. Rick's goal is to get out after cleaning."

Oh, Rick turned out that way. Drawing stars.

"More than that, aren't rheumas going to clean?

"I've never heard of cleaning day before."

Hmm... Should I join you if you're a local activity? I don't have anything planned for today anyway.

"Can I go, too?

"I don't care about that."

"Then I think I'll go, too."

"Okay! Then follow me!

Rick walks out with his right hand up fine. I followed that back by saying hello to Mr. Polyne.

"Lyoma! It's almost time!

"I'll be right there."

Rick is busy with words, but he waits until I get here. Maybe the future will surprisingly be for a good looking after brother.

With that in mind, Leni and Tor rendezvous waiting for Rick on the table. And when I got to church, the girl in the monastic clothes I saw one day instructed me to follow the signs to the chapel. There are signs everywhere in the church in the form of arrows, as the words say. You won't get lost even if you're not used to this.

There were only a large number of children in the chapel and one woman to wrap it up with. In contrast, there are 60 children. Seems to be free to participate, but are children all over the city and this less? Is it a lot?

In the meantime, you will sit and wait until the time the cleaning begins, and sit in the chapel chair with Tor and the others.

Then right in front of me is light...... light!?

"... where?

That's crazy...... I didn't pray today but I saw the usual light. But looking around, it's not even the usual bright white space.

"Library?"

Surrounded by huge wooden bookshelves. The contents are tightly packed and all seem heavy.... Yet the bookshelves are not only on the ground, but some things are floating in the air. Seeing this, I don't think it's just a library...

"Hmmm... could I have called you too"

I heard voices I wasn't used to hearing.

Looking up, the skinny young man who was floating there at some point is slowly descending.

... That's a greeting for now.

"Nice to meet you, I am."

"I'm listening. You must be the metastasizer this time, right? He's got a reputation for being quite funny this time around."

Is it still God that you know that?

"I am Fernobelia, God in charge of magic and academia. This is my realm. He seems surprised that the landscape is different from where you've met other gods before, but he's no stranger to the divine world. You can go back in time, so you should be comfortable until then."

"Thank you"

Fernobelia, the magic god... the god that Tekun said I rarely see. It seems difficult at any rate. At least better than Techn.

"This degree is natural. I also took this opportunity to try because the gods you know could have called the soul and consciousness of the living here. Don't treat those who call you out of your own hands badly."

When I heard about the cause I could come to the divine world, he conveniently called me to the church if there was any clue as to the cause. So the point was an experiment.

"I'd like to ask you a few questions, okay?

There is no particular reason to refuse. In other words, I can't refuse, so I answer honestly what they asked me.

The content began with questions about the past life and life in this world, and ranged from what I was thinking when I was called to the divine world by things I didn't like, such as food, to what I thought of war and slavery.

I'm answering what they asked me for now, but I can't find regularity in the content.... and it seems to be my last question at last.

"Cooperate, thank you. One last question, what do you think of this world?

What do you think......? Although I don't know how to answer the question vaguely... I think it's a good world. Of course I didn't look around the world, and I was oblivious to the information in this world. But most of the people I met were good people and made friends. There are many interesting things like magic and slime, and there is plenty of life. I have no complaints. I am truly glad to have come to this world.

"Hmm... I see, I get it"

"Is that it? Was I speaking up now?

"I'm not letting it out, I was just reading my mind"

... you really don't realize it yourself, it reads my mind.

"I'm sorry, I was a little wary, so I read my mind on my own."

"Alert?"

"Unfortunately, not all the metastasizers were like you."

Apparently, some of the transferees drowned in the given power and sinned. It also seems that the first encounter Master Fernobelia decided to observe it first, as some people unconsciously caused catastrophe because of the incorrect use of power, even without offense.

Well, that's a convincing reason. We can't wait to be ravaged by the darkness with the power we've given ourselves.

"Exactly. Obviously those with dangerous ideas will not be brought into this world from the beginning. But there is nothing that can be done about those who will later be drowned in power. Furthermore, it is usually almost impossible to use the hand at the time of transfer. It is sophisticated to persuade people to quit their criminal activities in a trust and to atone for their sins.

If we make a case that could destroy the world, we can intervene immediately, but that is rarely the case. First of all, it's already too late for that. … you've shown your understanding, it's helpful. "

Were you still reading your thoughts?

Master Fernobelia, who had explained to me in a somewhat foolish way the words I had in mind, returned to me and said so.

"I will continue to do a lot of things, but I will be careful not to drown in my powers.... I'm sorry I can't say absolutely..."

"If you don't trust him as much as you trust him to be mildly absolute. Let's just say it's because you took my story seriously."

"Thank you. We will continue to improve."

Shortly after hearing the words, the usual light began to shine.

"Apparently, it's time. I'll say one last thing. It's an anomaly that's happening to you... but it's actually not that special. limited to transferees from Earth, but had a tendency more or less similar to yours"

The anomaly is that you could have come to this world or taken an artifact, right? You sure about that?

"There are those in the past who have not been able to figure out what caused it, but have made things possible that should have been impossible for humans. You just have a noticeable tendency for some reason. Guys had a precedent for telling you that you had no physical or mental problems. Others were inclined to do so, but none of them suddenly died or suddenly drove their mind mad."

Speaking of which, I heard from Kfo before that the Virgin said that when she died, she lost her illness from the world. I certainly do things that are not human.

... I thought you didn't particularly care for yourself, but you actually cared? I have myself quite relieved to hear what I have just said.

"Thanks for letting me know"

At the same time the light wrapped his body, and shortly afterwards consciousness returned to the chapel.

... Did you get the word? I'm worried about something because I don't know when to say goodbye...

What did you think was on your face, what kind of weird look did you have on those Tolls lying around? They asked me.

All of a sudden I forgot about these three...
