Chapter 554

Undecided Title Arc

Haku-san’s Referral (2)

There’s no way an ordinary human could serve as a vessel for a high-ranking god. So it was fine that Leona, who was called the Chaos God, was the vessel.

But that doesn’t mean it was necessary to release her in this room, right!?

“Leona, why are you here? I mean, I understand that you were a vessel, but…”

“Soto-chan, the Space-Time God asked me. I accepted because it sounded interesting. Maybe you should complain to your own daughter?”

“Right, could you hurry up and go back? I’ll make sure to educate Soto not to choose Leona as a vessel… Wait.”

Ignoring my words, Soto looked at Leona with sparkling eyes.

“Soto?”

“Huh? What is it, Papa? I’m not, like, in love at first sight or anything!”

This is bad, it’s suspicious. The fact that the term [in love at first sight] came out even though I didn’t say anything was very suspicious.

“Hey Leona, go home. Don’t confuse my daughter.”

“Oh?”

Leona smiled at Soto with a grin. Soto’s her face turned noticeably red.

“Hehehe, maybe it’s too late?”

“Damn you, Space-Time God Karinisoto…”

There’s no doubt she did this on purpose. After all, she’s my daughter; she wouldn’t make a mistake in such an important matter. Rather, Karinisoto must have already met Leona.

And then she wanted to introduce Leona to her other self in this world-line, so she did this.

“… Papa. There’s one thing I want to tell you.”

“What is it, Soto?”

“I’ve always thought I wanted to marry someone like you, Papa!!”

“Why did you say that now?”

Moreover, her gaze is firmly fixed on Leona.

Somehow, lines like [I want to marry Papa] or [If I get married, I want someone like my father] might be among the top-ranking lines a daughter would want to say, but this definitely shouldn’t have been the situation for that.

“Aah… I see. What Soto says is reasonable, after all.”

“Wait a minute, Rokuko, whose side are you on?”

“But Kehma himself said that Leona was like an upgraded version of him, didn’t he?”

I did say that, but gender is… Does it not matter when you become a god?

“Well, it’s fine, Kehma-san. You defeated Core Number 10, right?”

“Huh? What does Core Number 10 have to do with you…?”

“Now that you’ve defeated Core Number 10, there’s no reason for Haku-chan and me to be hostile anymore. In fact… what do you think the reward was for lending my body to Space-Time God Soto-chan?”

Leona chuckled smugly.

“What did you get as a reward?”

“Information from Soto-chan’s memories, the ones of the Space-Time God.”

“Information from a god who has memories of different worlds…”

“In one world, it seems that you and I teamed up and killed the Creation God. So, you and I aren’t mortal enemies. As heroes from Japan, let’s get along?”

She smiled cheerfully. While I didn’t feel any hostility from her, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was a bundle of trouble, even if not as an enemy.

Wait, I killed the Creation God? What’s that about?

Doesn’t that mean that the Space-Time God Karinisoto, who had observed such events, was an existence beyond the Creation God?

“Also, Haku-chan asked me to train you, Kehma-san.”

“Huh? Weren’t you supposed to be hostile to Haku-san?”

“I just made it look like that for our Core Number 10 strategy. I was working too, you know? I crushed derivative dungeons behind the scenes so they couldn’t escape. If you think it’s a lie, ask Haku-chan.”

“Would Haku-san admit it and still pull such a prank… Rokuko, can you check?”

“Yes, I sent an email.”

“Don’t hack it, Leona.”

“Didn’t you ask that Otou-sama of your to make it impossible for me? I can’t get my hands on it anymore.”

Leona shrugged her shoulders with an expression that screamed [Good Grief].

After a while, Rokuko received a reply from Haku-san.

“The reply from Anee-sama says that she did indeed ask Leona. She didn’t mention her name in order to surprise us, but it seems like Leona was the expert in Hero Skills she was talking about…”

“Ahh, it seems like the recognition has become me since Soto-chan returned. Interesting.”

“I have no complaints if it’s an introduction from Anee-sama. I’ll leave the matter of Soto aside for now.”

It seems that the event was confirmed by the fact that Leona came here through Haku-san’s introduction, and the influence of the space-time god Karinisoto was minimized.

“Are the traces of the space-time god being removed by the world’s corrective force?”

“Hehe. I guess it’s no wonder that the one who understands this is the so-called egg of the creator god. Well, there’s no need to think too deeply about it. Things will happen as they should.”

As Leona said that, Soto, who was sitting next to her, clapped her hands as if she had thought of something.

“Does that mean you will be staying in this village for a while, Leona-san?”

“Wait a minute, why would she?”

“Because she’s going to train Papa, right? There’s no way it could be done in just one day. It’s a level that would satisfy Haku-sama, right?”

“…”

I couldn’t deny her anywhere there.

“Leona-san, how much are you going to train Papa?”

“For now, your [Super Transformation] has reached Lv. 7, right? If you can master it, you’ll be among the strongest. I’ll make sure you have the power to match that.”

“Oh, that’s great! It seems like it’ll take quite a while, so if you don’t mind, you can stay in my room during that time—”

“Soto. Leona will be staying at the church.”

“Oh, is that okay? To stay there?”

“It’s an introduction from Haku-san, so…ugh.”

Soto’s room—it’s better than letting her into the [Storage] Dungeon.

Besides, the Succubus Sisters at the church were originally under Leona’s care, so there wouldn’t be any problems.

If the Succubus Village inside the dungeon was still there, I’d have pushed her there, but I’d dismantled it and moved them to the church during the dungeon’s renovation. Some of them have migrated to the neighboring village, Draco.

… No, should I create a separate room for Leona inside the dungeon and isolate her?

I need to create a monitorable environment in the near future.

“Just so you know, Leona, don’t lay a hand on my daughter.”

“Does that mean it’s not the case if I’m the one being pursued?”

“That’s not allowed either. She’s a child, after all. Properly refusing is an adult’s discretion.”

“Can’t be helped. I’ll obey this time since it’s under Haku-chan’s introduction.”

Does that mean it won’t be the case if she comes to the village again after this matter is over?

… I see, it seems I have to train seriously to protect my daughter…!
