Sinri: Next time, “God Unconsciously Makes Fairies Stronger”
~~~~~~
What are you talking about… Sinri…?
~~~~~~
Sinri: Oops, it was this time, wasn’t it?
~~~~~~
I don’t get it…
So, we finished off the Four Heavenly Kings and entered the World Tree…
“Whoa… this is…”
“High concentration of miasma, huh…”
The inside of the World Tree was like a large hall.
The hall was filled with poisonous gas that looked harmful to the body.
~~~~~~
Sinri: Ultra-high concentration of miasma is present. A normal person would die instantly in less than a second.
~~~~~~
“Hee.”
“No, Mika God-dono… that’s where you should be making a retort, you know?”
Luciel said. Huh?
A retort?
“Where?”
“The part where it says a normal person would die in a second!”
“Oh, right. Why are we okay?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Because this group isn’t made of normal [people].
~~~~~~
I see. I’m a Super Supreme God, Luciel is a Supreme God, and Seira-chan is a Covenant God.
And Oberon is a fairy, but fairies are beings close to gods.
So, we’re all okay here because we’re not human.
“It doesn’t seem to be the case. Oberon looks like he’s feeling unwell.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry…”
Oberon wobbled and landed on my palm.
“Even though you’re a fairy, the poison is affecting you?”
“Rather, it’s probably a strong poison that can affect even fairies.”
Seira-chan said in an exasperated tone.
I see.
“Do you want to drink my antidote potion?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Even with an antidote potion, the moment you detoxify, you’ll be poisoned by the miasma, so it’s useless.
~~~~~~
I see.
“Luciel, can’t you do something? You’re a Supreme God, right?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Luciel is indeed a Supreme God, but she cannot fully utilize the power of Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
Luciel’s power as a Supreme God comes from the Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison). She can’t do everything omnipotently.
~~~~~~
Hmm…
Luciel can’t do everything I could do when I was a Supreme God.
“My purification potion probably won’t work either. The miasma is seeping out from the entire World Tree.”
Even if we purify a part of it, we’ll be poisoned by the miasma again right away.
“Looks like it’s Mika-san’s turn.”
But what should I do? I could purify it with Akahane’s flames, but if I do that, the World Tree will burn.
“What’s causing this poison in the first place?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: It’s seeping out from the Magic Bug King located on the top floor of this World Tree hall.
~~~~~~
I see. So, defeating the Magic Bug King is the quickest solution.
Then… all we need to do is give Oberon resistance to this poison.
“Hey, Oberon. I’m going to…”
That’s when it happened.
“Ah, what…? My body suddenly feels better…”
Huh…?
“Eh, what? Did someone do something…?”
Everyone there shook their heads.
“It’s probably something Mika God-dono did, right?”
“It’s the usual, isn’t it?”
My trust is amazing…!
“Eh, what did I do…?”
“Why don’t you know what you did yourself!?”
Oberon’s perfectly reasonable point. Hmm, you’re right.
“Sorry, I haven’t fully grasped my own power yet…”
“You can’t control such immense power… aren’t you afraid?”
“Well… it’s always worked out so far…”
“…………”
Oberon’s face turned pale.
I-is it that scary…?
“Hey, Sinri-dono. Mika God-dono did something again, didn’t she?”
It’s not “did she?”, it’s “didn’t she?”…
~~~~~~
Sinri: “Mika’s blunder”
→ The Omnipotent skill of Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) has automatically activated.
The [Complete Status Ailment Resistance] skill has been granted to Oberon.
~~~~~~
Omnipotent skill. It’s a skill that grants convenient powers to others.
Wait, what?
“I thought I could only grant skills with Omnipotence to those I made Familiars with ‘Let’s Become Familiars’, right?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Affirmative. Oberon is already Master Mika’s Familiar.
~~~~~~
“Huh…!?”
Eh, eh, no way?
When did that happen!?
“W-when did I become a Familiar!? I didn’t agree to it!?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: The moment you request something from a Supreme God, you unconditionally become a believer = Familiar.
~~~~~~
“That’s the first I’ve heard of it…!”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Of course. There’s no way you can ask a God for something without any return.
~~~~~~
No, no, no.
“Forget about the return! I don’t want it!”
I’m not helping people because I want something in return!
“It’s true that Mika has never asked for anything in return.”
“Right?”
That’s why I didn’t intend to get anything in return from Oberon…
“S-sorry…”
“N-no… well, as Sinri-sama says. There’s no way you can get help without any return, right…?”
O-Oberon?
Why are you trembling…?
“Eh, is something scary happening?”
“It was scary, wasn’t it?”
“Really?”
“Really!”
Hmm… I wonder where…
“It’s a good thing Mika God-sama is a benevolent God, but if it were an evil God…”
Oberon trembled.
Ah… I see. You would have become a Familiar of an evil God.
“You were lucky to ask Mika.”
“Yes…”
Seira-chan patted Oberon’s head.
“B-but… um, Mika God-sama…”
“What is it?”
“Um… this isn’t a negative opinion or anything…”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“I wish you would tell us about these important things beforehand!”
“I know, right?”
“Why are you acting like it’s not your problem!?”
Because there are too many things I don’t understand either… yes…
“Even with a support AI, Mika God-dono is still Mika God-dono.”
“Even the AI is having trouble…”
~~~~~~
Sinri:\(^o^)/
~~~~~~
Oh no, Sinri-san isn’t just having trouble, she’s given up…
“Well, you know. It’s a good thing, right? You got a resistance skill for free.”
“It wasn’t free!”
That’s right… with the return of becoming a believer.
Ah, wait?
“Hey, isn’t that like, ‘Become my believer in exchange for helping you’? Doesn’t that suddenly make me look like a bad guy?”
The moment I ask for something in return, I feel like I’m becoming a bad person…
~~~~~~
Sinri: The condition for becoming a believer includes the absolute requirement of “the heart of faith.”
~~~~~~
The heart of faith?
~~~~~~
Sinri: It’s the heart of gratitude towards God, or the feeling of wanting to be under this person. You cannot make someone who doesn’t have that a believer.
~~~~~~
I-I see…
“So, it’s not like you’re making anyone a believer unconditionally.”
I was relieved…
“Eh, does that mean… I unconsciously had the desire to join the Mika God faith somewhere in my heart?”
What’s the Mika God faith…?
~~~~~~
Sinri: Affirmative.
~~~~~~
Well… anyway, it’s good that I don’t force people to become believers against their will…
“But if they have the heart of faith, you’ll automatically and unconsciously make them a believer, right?”
“It’s kind of like a monster, it’s scary…”
Seira-chan and Luciel retorted to me…
A monster, huh.
~~~~~~
Sinri: A cooling-off period is also possible.
~~~~~~
“A cooling-off period is possible!?”
“Why are you surprised, Mika God-sama!?”
Well, I didn’t know.
“Even though you have Omniscience, how can there be things you don’t know!? You’re not Omniscient at all!?”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Yeah, that’s true.
~~~~~~
Oberon trembled.
“In the first place. Complete Status Ailment Resistance is a pretty rare skill, you know? It’s not a skill you should be giving out so easily!”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, it is!”
“Hee.”
Oberon scratched his head.
“I understand.” “I understand.”
My two subordinates understand, but I, their boss, don’t understand why Oberon is scratching his head.
Hey, Sinri.
~~~~~~
Sinri:\(^o^)/
~~~~~~
She’s given up again…
“Does gaining strong power also lower your intelligence… I’m scared…”
“It’s okay, I’ll point out things properly.”
“Thank you, Seira-dono!”
…Hmm?
“Wait… isn’t that indirectly saying my intelligence is low…?”
“…………”
“Everyone!?”
“Let’s stop wasting time and move on.”
Ah, yes.
