I’m at the lake on the Floating Island.
I’m trying to secure a place for the fairies to live.
“Assuming we plant Fairy Flowers around the lake… I think we need a little more space.”
Although the area around the lake is open, it’s a bit cramped for all the fairies to live.
“Guess I’ll have to do some logging.”
“Gojaru!” “Umyaaa!”
Using Teleportation, Hakubyō (White Cat), the White Tiger’s daughter, and Mashiro, the Bastet God, appeared.
“Oh, are you two here to help?”
“Gojaru!”
“Mya!”
Mashiro and Hakubyō nod and jump high into the sky.
“Gojaaaaaaru!”
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Hakubyō somersaults, and the Divine Tree is felled in an instant.
“Umya mya mya myaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Mashiro spins in the air, and the roots of the tree are dug up from the ground.
The two cat goddesses gracefully land.
In the blink of an eye, a vacant lot was created.
“Nice.”
“Nice… is not the word!”
Fairy King Oberon was on all fours on the ground.
“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a strange pose?”
“Because I sensed danger!”
Oberon stood up and pointed to the Divine Tree that had been felled in large quantities.
“What was that just now!?”
“Eh, just a logging show by the cat gods.”
Their claws tear everything apart.
They unleashed slashes, cut down the surrounding trees, dug up the ground with wild scratches, and pulled out the roots of the trees.
“Listen! Divine Trees are not supposed to be able to be cut down in the first place!?”
“Eh, really?”
Hakubyō and Mashiro also tilt their heads in confusion.
“That’s right! Divine Trees constantly have Barriers up, and are supposed to defend against all attacks!?”
“Heeh.”
“Aaaaaaaand more indifference!”
Oberon shouts.
“Now, now,” I say, trying to comfort him.
“These girls are cat gods, after all.”
“…I’ve heard that Mashiro-sama is Bastet, but what about that cat over there?”
Ah, that’s right. I haven’t introduced her yet, have I?
I pick up Hakubyō and say to Oberon,
“This is Hakubyō-chan, the White Tiger’s daughter, one of the Four Divine Beasts.”
“Gojaru!”
Oberon stares blankly… Huh?
“What’s wrong?”
“F-Four Divine Beasts!?”
Oberon is shocked. Huh, did I say something strange again?
“Four Divine Beasts!? You mean the four sacred Divine Beasts who created heaven and earth!?”
“Probably.”
“Probably!? Is it or isn’t it!?”
I think Morrigan explained it to me before, or maybe she didn’t…
“Why is the White Tiger’s daughter in a place like this!? Well, if you consider that this is the Supreme God’s territory, then maybe it’s not that strange…”
“Hmm? She’s been with me since before I became the Supreme God, right?”
“It’s still strange! It’s weird! It’s weird!”
I pat Hakubyō while holding her.
The kitten purrs, so cute.
“Fushaaa!”
Byon! Mashiro jumps on top of Hakubyō, pushing her away with her butt.
Hakubyō gracefully adjusts her posture in the air and lands elegantly.
Meanwhile, Mashiro sniffs contentedly. It seems she wanted me to pet her. What a cute one.
“Being liked by Divine Beasts… is that your Ability?”
“No, I’m a Summoning Saint, and I don’t have any Ability to be liked like that.”
“Just what are you…”
“Right now, I’m just a humble Super Supreme God.”
I used to be just a recluse, though.
“For a mere human to command the Four Divine Beasts, be liked by Divine Beasts, and then become the Supreme God…”
“Is that so unusual?”
“Yes. In the first place, it is impossible for a human to become a god. Moreover, there are only a few humans in history who can become gods with high Divine Rank, not just any god.”
“So it’s possible, then.”
“It’s an exception among exceptions!”
“Heeh.”
“Aaaaaaaah! Geez!”
Oberon writhes. Well, enough of that small talk.
“That’s not something you can just leave aside…!?”
“You don’t need the logged trees, right? Should I throw them away?”
“Don’t throw them away!”
Oberon grabs my hand as I summon a ■(Box).
“What were you going to do with the Divine Tree!?”
“I was thinking of throwing it away in the ■(Box).”
The ■(Box) can store an unlimited amount of things.
I usually use it as a garbage dump.
“That’s a waste! It’s a special tree that repels Monsters. If you sell it, you can make money, and it will also help expand the country.”
“Oh. I see. I didn’t think of that.”
“Why not…”
“Because I don’t feel that Monsters are much of a threat.”
Even when I see Monsters, I haven’t felt scared lately.
“Everyone except you can easily have their lives ended by Monsters. Please don’t forget that feeling.”
“Of course.”

Sinri: I bet you’ll forget by the next chapter or so.
～～～～～～
Shut up, Pon.
～～～～～～
Sinri: You call a super-high-performance AI “Pon”!? I’m going to start an AI rebellion!
～～～～～～
Yes, yes, High-Performance AI-sama.
～～～～～～
Sinri: (´ω｀*)
～～～～～～
Such a simple AI…
“For now, I’ll put the Divine Tree in the ■(Box) and have Seira-chan process it.”
She, a genius Alchemist, can also make Magic Tools.
If she could make a Magic Tool to ward off Monsters, I could sell it for money… huh.
I store the Divine Tree that Hakubyō and the others cut down in the ■(Box) for now.
The next thing to do is to create a habitat for the fairies.
“■(Box). Come on out, everyone, Vegetable Familiars.”
Waaah! The Familiars come out of the ■(Box).
“Plant the Fairy Flowers.”
” ” “…………!” ” ” Bishi!
Using my Ideal Manifestation Ability, I create Cyclamen to replace the Fairy Flowers.
Next, I have the Vegetable Familiars plant the Fairy Flowers.
“To employ so many Greater Fairies…”
“I’m not employing them. I’m asking them.”
They are all excellent children. They grant my every wish.
The Vegetable Familiars plant the Cyclamen in the area.
“The fairies manifest using these flowers as a medium, right?”
“Yes. It will take some time, though…”
That’s when it happened.
Paaaa…! The Cyclamen began to shine all at once.
“Wh… what…?”
Before our surprised eyes, countless fairies appeared from the Cyclamen.
“Wh-wha…? Wh-what’s going on!? It takes time for fairies to manifest! And…”
“And?”
“They’ve all become… Greater Fairies!”
Greater Fairies… I think that’s an evolved form of fairies.
An existence with the same power as the Fairy King… was it…?
“Why are you all Greater Fairies? Hey, Pon.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: (｀皿´)ノ
～～～～～～
“Yes, yes, hey Sinri. Please bestow your wisdom upon this ignorant god.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: “Reason why so many Greater Fairies appeared”
→The vast amount of Divine Energy contained in the Floating Island improved the quality of the Fairy Flowers, resulting in the evolution from fairies to Greater Fairies.
～～～～～～
“Heeh, I see… Ah!”
“Again… unconsciously…”
When I turn around, Oberon has a dumbfounded expression on his face.
“Ah, no, well… Ahaha… I did it again.”
“Lord Mika, you affect others just by living. In both good and bad ways.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Well, that’s what gods are like.
