The genius alchemist, Seira Fart-chan, came from the Empire.
She’s here to set up shop and mass-produce potions.
“Are you… human?”
“I am.”
I was, anyway. Now I’m a God.
“You don’t seem human at all…”
Seira-chan looks at me with suspicion.
“That’s proof of an excellent craftsman,”
Luciel says.
“What do you mean?”
“I heard it from a dwarf before. He said that your hands can’t get better than your eyes. Excellent craftsmen have good eyes.”
Hoh… I see.
“So, you’re saying that Seira-chan is excellent because she can see that I have God Protection, and that I’m a God?”
“Well, that’s about it. Mika-god, please be more careful with your actions than ever before. You… stand out.”
I see, I need to make sure I don’t stand out too much, so this girl doesn’t realize I’m a God.
“Okay. I’ll try not to stand out.”
“That’s right, try not to stand out.”
The meeting is over.
Meanwhile, Licia-chan and Seira-chan are talking.
“To be an imperial alchemist at the age of ten… that’s amazing!”
“Fuh-fuhn, right~? I’m a genius! I just am!”
“So cool!”
Kids become friends quickly. That’s a good thing.
“Well then, let’s head to the Dead End, Capital Averell.”
“Okay. How long will it take by carriage?”
“Huh? We’ll be there soon. Greater Teleportation.”
“Wha…!?”
Shwoon, everyone there is teleported.
We arrived outside the town of Averell.
“Alright.”
“Wait just a minute!”
Luciel grabs my shoulder with a Gah!
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“I told you not to stand out, didn’t I?!”
“Yeah. I thought I was trying not to stand out…?”
“You used Greater Teleportation, didn’t you!”
Huh?
What does she mean…?
“G-g-g-greater Teleportation!?”
Seira-chan, and the others, were also stunned.
Huh, what’s wrong…?
“I-isn’t that an ancient magic!!!!!”
Seira-chan shouts. Ah… I see. Greater Teleportation is one of the ancient magics, isn’t it? Yeah, I know that.
“So?”
“So!?”
Seira-chan and Luciel are surprised.
“Mika-god… Ancient magic is a lost, ancient magic, you know?”
“How can you use two of them!?”
Huh…?
Could it be that there aren’t many people who can use multiple ancient magics…?
Tell me, Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
～～～～～～
Users of Ancient Magic
→There are very few to begin with, and no one can use multiple ancient magics.

Seriously? (First time hearing that).
“A-a-ah, what are you really…?”
“Well…”
How should I gloss this over…?
Then, Licia-chan says with a pure and innocent smile.
“She’s Licia’s wonderful mother!”
Ugh… dazzling. Seeing Licia-chan’s smile, it seemed like Seira-chan’s wariness had lessened a little.
“…From what I’ve heard, you’re Licia’s foster mother. Since the child is so attached to you… well, I guess you’re not a bad person.”
That’s good…
Thank you, Licia-chan! Thanks to you, I was able to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
“Mika-god… you’re too careless…! Please don’t do anything reckless!”
Luciel raises her voice.
“I know, I know. I won’t do anything.”
If this gets back to the Empire, they might try to use me, and that would be a problem.
“What I want is peace.”
“But you’ve been killing Demon Race and doing flashy things without realizing it, haven’t you? Do you really want peace…? Aren’t your words and actions contradictory…?”
Ugh… sharp.
“B-but I really do want a peaceful life.”
“…………”
“Stop being silent!”
After a while.
We arrived near Averell.
“Even so… that’s an impressive outer wall.”
The town of Averell is surrounded by an outer wall that’s so tall you have to look up at it.
“Looking at it, this outer wall isn’t made of stone… What material is it made of?”
“Huh? I don’t know…”
“Why doesn’t the lord’s mother know?!”
“My subordinates did it.”
My Vegetable Familiar, Satsuma-kun, made this outer wall.
I gave him the Divine Hammer Mjolnir.
I have him make what’s needed according to his will. And before I knew it, this magnificent outer wall was built.
“Iron…? No way… could it be…”
And then, it was at that moment.
‘…Mika-nee-san.’
The youngest of the Puppy Fenrir siblings, Ferumi, spoke to me telepathically.
‘Enemies.’
Seriously? At this timing…?
“Seira-chan and the others, get into the town quickly. It seems like monsters are coming.”
“Huh? Monsters…? Where…?”
Certainly, there isn’t a single monster in sight.
“But they’re coming.”
“Based on what?”
“Umm… a hunch?”
“That’s called speculation!”
Because we were dawdling, the enemies seemed to have arrived.
“My lady. Wyverns. And a large army of them.”
“What!? Wyverns!?”
My maid, Shelljue-san, says while looking in the opposite direction.
She was holding a gun in her hand again. I wonder if she also has an Item Box like me?
Anyway. A flock of Wyverns is coming this way.
Well, it’s easy to repel them. I don’t feel threatened by them at all.
‘Woof! Nee-chan! I’ll do it, okay?’
“Yeah, I guess I’ll ask you to do it…”
It was at that moment.
“[Assault Shot]!”
Instantly, countless arrows rained down from the sky.
“!? Those are magic arrows!?”
Seira-chan looks at the sky in surprise.
The arrows made of magic split in the air and fall to the ground like shooting stars.
Zudododododododododododododododo!!
The Wyverns fall to the ground. Not a single one is left in the sky.
“Muzika shot down the Wyverns!”
“Uooooooo! Let’s kill them all!”
Bap! The old men and women come down from the outer wall.
“What!? What’s with that movement!”
Ignoring the shocked Seira-chan, the old folks begin their extermination.
“Hyohyohyohyo!”
“What’s with that old lady’s movement!? She’s like a skilled assassin!”
Sweeper-baa-chan accurately cuts off the enemies’ heads and crushes their hearts with knives in both hands.
“Ora ora ora ora!”
“What’s with that old man!? He’s so buff! He’s beheading enemies with one swing of his axe!?”
That’s Chopper-jii-chan.
It seems he’s a woodcutter now. I don’t know what he used to do.
The other old men and women cooperate to annihilate the enemies.
Luciel, who was watching the scene, says to me.
“What is that!?”
“The old folks.”
“I can see that!? Why are they moving like inhuman beings!?”
“They became like that after a little training.”
“Here too! Is the tragedy repeating itself here too!?”
The Half-Elves in Mateo, the town in the east where Luciel is from, all became muscular, hyahha warriors thanks to Morrigan’s boot camp.
But.
“Don’t lump us together with that.”
“It’s different from Morrigan?”
“Yes. All I did was have them go around the Dungeon.”
“No, you’re the same! It’s the same! What you’re doing!”
What…?
Am I the same as Morrigan?
“N-no, no. That Dungeon is designed to be safe and secure, where you don’t die even if you die. It’s different from Morrigan’s hellish training.”
“Categorically, it’s the same! You’re making old people do such harsh things!”
Hearing Luciel’s retort, sweat dripped from my forehead.
Ah, ara?
“Could it be, that I’m… the same as Morrigan?”
“You’re the same, you’re two of a kind!”
“R-really…”
Ugh, somehow… I’m pretty depressed…
“Gods all have some kind of distorted heart…”
I couldn’t deny it.
On the other hand, Seira-chan points at the old folks.
“What is that!? Isn’t your place weird!? Including you!”
“Well, yeah. Ahahahaha.”
“Don’t try to gloss it over with a laugh!”
