Chapter 75 – On the Sidelines…Ridiculous

『I don’t lie. I’m not like gods. The four of us are the successful ones.』

「But, from what I heard…」

The truth may be different from what you’ve heard.

But still, what’s the difference between failure and success?

『Haa, I’m sure you just believe what you heard and no one even researched to find out what’s really going on. You gods are always like that. You can do anything but don’t do anything. You’re treating everything as if it is someone else’s problem.』

I’m sure they can indeed do anything but they’re not doing it?

Or rather, it looks like they’re not interested in doing anything.

Perhaps they have lived for too long and lost interest or maybe they don’t care about anything else aside from watching over children.

Goddess Aion is still doing her job but God Deme is probably acting like that already.

If that is the case, why don’t they just quit being a god….can they even quit?

Well, they have the power to do anything so if they try to do something, they should be able to t do it….probably.

However, I feel that God Deme is already tired of being a god but he’s still sticking to his existence as a god.

It’s more like he’s clinging to it.

「No, that’s not true! It was a greater god of considerable power and trust who announced it!」

God Deme yells into the air. His voice is tinged with anger.

『That god must have lied.』

「He would never lie!」

A god seemed to have lied but we shouldn’t think that was his intention.

However, we have Rope here claiming that they were the successful magic stones of fortune.

Well, if you ask me if what Rope is saying is true, I’ll say I don’t know.

Ah, I forgot to ask them what does the character “kou(fortune)” means.

Even so, this is a strange situation.

Two gods are yelling at a voice-only, invisible entity.

No, God Deme is the only one who’s yelling.

Goddess Aion is still calm.

「Aren’t you something created by gods? Why are you defying gods!?」

That’s a disgusting thing to say.

It gives the impression of “since I made you, you should do what I say”.

God Deme’s reputation has dropped to the bottom.

Come to think of it, Goddess Aion said that “Gods don’t fight” but that should be a lie, right?

Looking at God Deme, I want to ask “There’s definitely conflict, right?”.

He’s too easy to heat up and too easy to lose temper.

No matter how you think about it, he’s the type who takes the initiative to start a conflict.

『Defying? It was you gods who betrayed us in the first place.』

「What!」

『When we were made, we were for gods. We will never question the use of our power for gods. However, when a god noticed our power, he suddenly shouted “You are trying to harm gods!” and locked us in deep darkness even though we didn’t know what was going on. If that had been all, it would have been forgivable. However, he used our power. 』

Hnn?

….locked and used power?

I’ve heard something like that before!

Hahaha, no wonder. It’s exactly this planet.

Ah, I see. So, the apprentices learned that from that god.

I see, I see.

It is often said that children grow up by watching their parents.

Although they are not parents and children.

But I think they are similar.

However, what is Rope’s power anyway?

What is the power that gods fear?

「That’s…..generally, it’s a bad idea to harm your creators.」

God Deme’s getting more and more unreasonable.

But still, harm. Why do they fear being harmed if they can’t die?

Ah, Flying Lizard said it will give you new powers as I recall.

So, what’s the problem with that power?

The power to harm a god?

『Harm? Isn’t that the power you asked for?』

「What?」

『God’s can’t die so they made us in order for them to die! We don’t harm them, it’s exactly the power you asked for!』

I see. They couldn’t die so they tried to die using Rope’s power.

If that’s true, then, Rope is not at fault at all.

Or rather, he’s a victim.

Is he a he?

Well, it’s a stone, so, a damage stone?

So, is it okay for me to think about it so carefreely?

Things are getting worse and worse.

「So, can you give death to gods too?」

Goddess Aion looks surprised.

『The four successful ones can. The last one can’t.』

What’s this?

The four pieces that can do it are treated as failures by the gods and the one that can’t is the success?

Perhaps they didn’t originally intend to make it or didn’t think they would succeed?

Come to think of it, someone on the TV said “If you had the power, it would be something you would want to try.”

If gods are the same, they should have tried and seen what their powers could do.

Yeah, they just wanted to try.

And yet, they completed the stone.

And there are even four of them.

So, they panicked and sealed it as a failure and pretended it wasn’t there….

In the face of death, they freaked out and hid them.

This is way too pathetic.

And here I thought gods are noble beings.

That’s why I was wondering what I should do if they were enemies.

I had worried so much but it was all in vain.

「The more I listen to this, the more I can’t shake the feeling that I’m involved in something ridiculous.」

「Your lordship, I agree.」

Flying Lizard responds to what I said.

We looked at each other and gave out a long sigh.

『Master, do you need some more tea?』

The one eye who was serving us asked that when it noticed my tiredness.

That’s soothing.

「Thank you. Do you have any sweets that I could eat?」

When you’re tired, there’s nothing better than eating sweets.

『There are some. Would you like some?』

「Ah, yes, get them. How about Flying Lizard?」

「Oh, my share too. The sweets they make are delicious.」

I can’t tell from Flying Lizard’s expression but his voice sounds happy.

『I understand….ano, god-sama』

The one eye turned its gaze to the two gods.

「Hmm, I don’t think they need them right now so don’t bother.」

I think both God Deme and Goddess Aion forgot what they came here for in the first place.

I mean, it’s true that it was me who called Rope since they want us to give them the control of this planet….

However, with Rope being like that, I think that’s impossible.

Now, what should I do?

「Flying Lizard, will it be bad for you to fight against gods?」

「We’re here so there shouldn’t be a problem.」

I was a little surprised by Flying Lizard’s answer.

I thought he would absolutely oppose it.

「Aren’t dragons messengers of gods?」

「We are not messengers of gods!」

A light impact hit the back of my head.

Looking at it, it looks like Light Blue in his small form jumped to my side.

「Is that so?」

「Yes, so we don’t have any problem fighting against them. Unlike in other places, the dragons on this planet are good friends.」

It’s nice that they are getting along but, unlike other planets?

「Are dragons outside hostile against each other?」

「According to our knowledge, dragons fight against each other. Before we met your lordship, we were like that too.」

Ah, is that so?

I thought they were close the moment we met.

「Why were they fighting?」

「I don’t know but---we feel like others’ existence is annoying. No, it’s probably more of disgust against each other.」

Annoying?

Disgust?

It’s funny that you don’t know why.

「How about now?」

「They are good guys! They even teach me how to use my power. Boss-san is also amusing.」

Boss-san is amusing?

That’s….let’s talk about that later.

「You mean that Flying Lizard and Light Blue are willing to fight gods with me?」

「Gods are too powerful so it is impossible to fight against them alone. However, I have friends here. If we work together, we can become as powerful as a god. If your lordship will go against gods, we’ll protect this planet and we’ll protect you too!」

Oh, then I’ll count on you.

If you join forces, you can be as powerful as a god, that’s amazing.

…..hnn?

As powerful as a god….disgust for no reason…..

「Maybe the gods were keeping the dragons apart so they wouldn’t be threats to them.」

No way.

No, they were afraid of the power that could kill them.

It would not be surprising that they fear the power of dragons.

「Ridiculous!」

I turn my attention to where the voice came from, to God Deme.

They’ve been talking about a lot of things and I didn’t bother to listen to them.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.

They haven’t said anything important.
