Chapter 22

There were a few benches in the church's front courtyard, so I sat down.

Given what Shelle said, it seems that the entity with management authority over this world is at least somewhat well-disposed toward us.

However, I imagine it's more like Agape. According to that explanation, even monsters are part of the terminal. Is this a result of human egotism?

Regarding the human form and vegetation, could it be due to convergent evolution and the selection of information within the same image?

"Ah, I haven't confirmed reproduction... But then again, I couldn't ask in that situation."

Was it 100,000 years ago that Homo sapiens originated? There's no point in thinking about it. I'll confirm it when I can hear the story again.

The impression I got of the administrator was that they seemed like an employee at a data center.

Regarding the servers, the management of the application layer suggests a somewhat free rental server image.

The communication and response described under the premise of a closed network seemed more like a phone call to an operator.

Does this mean that the gods can communicate between worlds? Ah, the information is incomplete, which makes me even more curious.

For now, I'll put the return to Earth on hold.

Just having options makes the situation much better.

Next, I need to check the new skills.

Should I ask Mr. 'Scholar'?

<Explanation. 'Prayer' is a skill to seek the will of the gods and receive appropriate divine guidance. With increased proficiency, more ambiguous inquiries will yield more accurate divine guidance.>

Hmm. I'll try it out.

"God, I'm considering marrying a woman from this world. Is it possible to have children?"

I mutter. Do I need to assume a prayer posture?

"Hello! Nice to meet you, Akihiro! I'm Varda, the one who oversees abundance."

A sweet voice resonates in my mind.

I'm surprised by the easy connection. I thought divine guidance would have a more sacred image.

"Regarding having children, it's totally okay! Actually, the design of this planet is based on a copy of the Earth where Akihiro lived. So, go ahead and have as many as you want! Also, the definition of humans is a bit different from Earth, but basically, the genes are the same, so it's okay even if the species are different. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. See you again!"

I'm quite taken aback by the very casual response.

What about 'Ritual Control'? Is it finally a magic-related skill?

<Explanation. 'Ritual Control' is a skill to convert magical elements into magical power and then convert that magical power into rituals. You must obtain this skill to use magical elements.>

Wow. Can I use magic? I'm quite excited.

<Notice. There are certain construction definitions for rituals, and you need to practice to become proficient.>

Well, I guess I need to study.

What about 'Attribute Control (Wind)'?

<Explanation. The pure magical power converted by 'Ritual Control' becomes Prima Materia. By adding a vector to the Prima Materia, an event occurs.>

<Regarding 'Attribute Control (Wind)', it involves adding a wind factor vector to the Prima Materia to control events related to wind.>

Hmm? From what I understand, the only magic I can use is related to wind?

<Explanation. Yes, that's correct. However, the 'Attribute Control' skill is easy to learn through practice.>

So, it means I should try it out first. Fire could cause a fire, and water or earth could leave traces, so wind seems just right.

Is that all for the gods?

For now, I'll check my to-do list.

[x] Confirm 'Prayer', 'Ritual Control', and 'Attribute Control (Wind)'

Well, let's get to work today. As they say, those who do not work shall not eat. Let's do our best.
