I and the clunky AI were getting a secretary.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Oh… Oberon. That suit looks good on you.”
Oberon stood before me in a black suit.
He had evolved and could now become human-sized. But since he had no clothes to wear, I used Ideal Manifestation to make some for him.
He requested something suitable for a secretary, so I made him a suit.
“Thank you very much, Lord Mika. I really like this outfit. It’s easy to move in too.”
“Is that so? Is that so? I’m glad to hear it.”
I plopped down on a camping chair in front of the log house.
Phew… time for a break.
“Lord Mika.”
Oberon suddenly brought his face close.
“W-what is it…?”
“There’s something I’d like you to address urgently.”
“What might that be?”
“I’d like you to secure a place for the fairies to live.”
A place for the fairies to live…?
“Ah… you mean Fairy Flowers?”
“Exactly.”
The fairies manifest in this world using flowers as vessels.
We need to plant those flowers… Fairy Flowers.
“Where should we put them… the vegetable garden is already full of vegetables.”
But if we put them in front of the log house, Feruta and the other mischievous Divine Beasts will just trample them…
“Thinking that, I had Pon search for a suitable location.”
“Pon?”
Who…?
A tanuki…?
“Clunky AI, abbreviated as Pon.”
“You mean Sinri…”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Master, please fire Oberon immediately…!
～～～～～～
A message arrived on my Smartphone from Sinri.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Oberon is constantly by my side, forcing work on me!
～～～～～～
Constantly…?
“Oberon, I got this message from Sinri…”
“It’s my new power.”
With a snap of his fingers, another Oberon in fairy form appeared next to him.
“Whoa, what’s this?”
“It’s the [Omnipresence] ability.”
“Hey Sinri. What’s that?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: [Omnipresence]
→ An ability that uses wind to create clones that can appear anywhere there is air. The clones have the same thinking ability as the original and can also use magic.
～～～～～～
Hoh, so it’s basically Shadow Clone?
“But creating clones wherever there’s air is amazing.”
“Thank you. However, this too is a power that Lord Mika bestowed.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes.”
I thought he was going to praise me like Morrigan again, saying how amazing I am for giving him the power… but.
“Therefore, please be careful when bestowing powers.”
“O-okay… you’re right. We could end up strengthening a villain…”
“That is correct.”
The cheat ability of Omnipresence was manifested with just one careless word from me.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Manifested with a word. Pfft! Ouch! He hit me! Oberon hit me!
He hit Sinri, who possesses the brain of a high-performance God…! Not even my mother has ever hit me!
～～～～～～
Who’s her mother…?
Oh, it’s me.
“Lessons without pain are meaningless.”
“H-harsh… be a little gentler.”
“Lord Mika is kind, but sometimes too lenient. Kindness and leniency are different things.”
S-severe~.
Oberon, aren’t you becoming more like an education-obsessed mom than a secretary?
“Let’s get back to the topic.”
“What was it again?”
“A place for the fairies to live.”
He held out a tablet PC, saying, “This way.”
“…Now that I think about it, Oberon. You’re a native of this world, right? Why aren’t you surprised to see Earth items?”
To someone from another world, computers and smartphones are beyond comprehension.
Why is he able to use them normally without being surprised?
“I used Pon to gather various information.”
Sinri’s nickname has completely become Pon (kotsu)…
How pitiful…
“Well then, here it is.”
A photo of the Floating Island, seen from above, was displayed.
Zooming in, a lake was visible.
“Ah, this place.”
It’s where I sometimes go fishing.
Certainly, there’s an open space near the lake. Plus, it’s close to water, making it an ideal place for flowers to bloom.
“Thanks. Then, let’s make this the fairies’ home.”
“Yes. Then…”
With a snap of his fingers, Oberon teleported us to the lake.
“Huh? Eh? What’s this? We moved to the lake in an instant…? What’s going on?”
“It’s [Castling].”
“C-Castling…?”
“It’s the ability to instantly switch the positions of the clone and the original.”
I see… He placed a clone by the lake using Omnipresence, and then used Castling to teleport instantly.
“Even without doing that, you’re my friend, so you can use Greater Teleportation, right?”
“Yes. However, Greater Teleportation is a teleportation skill that is too large in scale. It’s not something you should use for a short trip.”
Hee…
“But I use Greater Teleportation for short trips?”
“You’re the one who’s abnormal for using Greater Teleportation like it’s a walk in the park!”
“I-is that so…”
“That’s right! You seem to have forgotten, but teleportation skills are super rare. Greater Teleportation, which is the higher version, is an even rarer skill. It’s not something you can use so casually, or even something you can use at all.”
Apparently, there’s a limit to the number of times you can use Greater Teleportation. Normally.
“But I use it casually?”
“That’s because you’re abnormal! Do you understand…?”
Oberon brought his face close again.
“Everything Lord Mika does is! All of it! Abnormal. It’s a super skill that transcends the laws of this world. Everything, without exception!”
“N-no way…”
Surely there’s at least one normal thing, right?
Oberon sighed and pointed to an ordinary tree growing by the lake.
“That tree.”
“It’s just a tree, right?”
“No, it’s not! Please let Sinri《Pon》search it up!”
Sinri’s nickname has become Pon-san…?
～～～～～～
Sinri: I’m suing for defamation, definitely, absolutely.
～～～～～～
Eh, is the AI trying to start a rebellion…?
I-is it going to be okay? Is this not going to turn into a dystopian world?
W-well, well. Sinri-san, please bestow knowledge upon this ignorant me.
～～～～～～
Sinri: “That tree”
→ Unfufu… Divine Tree…♡
“Divine Tree”
→ A very sacred tree that exists in God’s territory…♡
Ufufufun… It constantly emits holy energy, preventing enemies from approaching (Barrier), dispelling evil (Holy attribute), and absorbing evil energy (Purification)…♡
～～～～～～
Hard to read…
She seems to be on cloud nine just from being praised a little. Such a simple AI.
“Divine Tree, huh… which one?”
“All of them growing here.”
“Hee.”
Oberon’s body trembled.
Ah, uh…?
“O-Oberon-san…? Did I say something weird again…?”
“You did! Why do you immediately forget what I just said!?”
“Did you say something?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Oberon clutched his head and writhed.
“C-calm down, Oberon.”
“You should say ‘calm down’!”
“Y-yes, that’s right. So, why are you in such agony…?”
He pointed to one of the trees growing in the lake with a sharp gesture.
“All the trees growing on the Floating Island are Divine Trees! Every single one!”
“Hee… and?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!”
His atmosphere completely changed from that of a capable woman, and Oberon scratched his head roughly. Hii… scary…
“Divine Trees are also said to be vessels for Gods!”
“Hee. And?”
“There’s no way so many special trees, which are vessels for Gods, would be growing here!? They’re special trees, not quite like the World Tree, but still!”
Ah… I see.
He’s saying that it’s strange that trees that are rare even if there’s only one are growing all over this Floating Island… or rather, this entire mountain.
“Okay, I understand. So?”
“You don’t understand, not at all!”
“I do. They’re growing, right? A lot of them. And?”
Oberon squatted down on the spot and scratched his head roughly.
“I… I wonder if I can be a secretary… I’m worried…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, you’re the most reliable one here.”
Oberon slapped his cheeks and stood up.
“Do your best, me. You can do it, me. For the sake of the fairies who will be living here, I have to work hard!”
I don’t really understand, but well, good luck~.

Sinri: Watching from the sidelines, lol
