I’ve increased the number of Mika believers again…!
I don’t mean to at all, though… Why do people try to worship such a hopeless God like me? Seriously.
Well, I guess it’s up to each person to decide what they want to believe in…
Oh well, whatever.
More importantly, I need to accomplish my purpose for coming here.
“So, this is the top floor of the Tower of Sealed Gods, huh?”
We’re in the stratosphere. A place with very thin air.
“Incredible… not a single cloud… is this the world above the sky…?”
Kaida-kun’s eyes are wide open.
Fairy King Oberon is next to him, and a wind Barrier surrounds them.
“Hey, Mika-chan.”
“Hmm? What is it, Kiriko?”
Circe, or rather, Kiriko-chan, asks me.
“Why are you so calm? This is the stratosphere, you know?”
“? Well, yeah, so…?”
“So… if you’re in the stratosphere with such thin clothes, you’d normally die, you know?”
Oh, I see…
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m a God.”
“You’ve completely forgotten that you used to be human, haven’t you…”
I haven’t forgotten. I’ve just accepted it (resignation).
“Master won’t die from this level of environmental change, right? Because she’s a God.”
“That’s right.”
No matter how thin the air is or how cold it is, it doesn’t matter to me.
I’m not human? That’s right, I’m Mika God.
“Don’t any of you try to imitate me, okay?”
““As if we could.””
Anyway.
At the top of the tower, there was a small building.
A white gate, white walls. A solemn building made entirely of white.
“The Dimensional Teleportation Device is inside there.”
Kiriko-chan says, pointing her finger.
I see… wait, what?
“Hey, Kiriko-chan. Didn’t you try to use that to go back to your original world?”
“Nope. There’s no reason for me to go back there.”
I see… that’s right. For her, that place is no longer a place to return to.
Kiriko-chan makes a dark face, as if remembering a painful past.
Sinri pats Kiriko-chan’s shoulder.
“It’s okay, Kiriko. Master and I are here now. This place where we are is your new home!”
Oh, Sinri~! You said something good.
“Sinri’s right. This is your new home. Let’s live together with our family, having fun, okay?”
“…Yeah. Thanks.”
Still, I didn’t expect Sinri to follow up like that.
She must really like Kiriko-chan. A mother is happy when her daughter makes a friend.
“Well, shall we go inside?”
We head into the white building.
The entrance was an Automatic Door. Amazing…
“A door that moves automatically… amazing…”
Says Kaida-kun.
…Somehow, I’m starting to get worried now.
I’ve shown Kaida-kun too many things. Microwaves, Automatic Doors, and so on.
I’ve shown him too much future technology for someone from the past.
Won’t that lead to a completely different historical flow from the history I know…?
In the original history, Kaida-kun became the head of one of Japan’s leading companies and brought about an industrial revolution in Japan.
So, well, I don’t think history will change that much… but, I wonder…
…Is it okay? It’s okay, right? It’s okay (probably).
After walking down the hallway for a while, we arrived at a large hall.
In the center, there was a huge device.
A cylindrical capsule.
Cables extended from the floor, and in front of the capsule, there was something that looked like a control panel.
“This is the Dimensional Teleportation Device.”
“Hoh… so if we use this, Kaida-kun can return to his original world, his original timeline.”
“Apparently.”
Apparently…?
“Who did you hear that from?”
Kiriko-chan approaches the control panel. And then, she places her hand on it.
In an instant, a giant face appeared in the air.
[I AM THE SUPPORT AI FOR THE DIMENSIONAL TELEPORTATION DEVICE]
“Whoa, it spoke… Does that mean the Support AI is the same as Sinri?”
Hmph, Sinri snorts.
“I can speak more fluently, and I’m smarter, okay~?”
Certainly, the Teleportation Device’s AI spoke brokenly.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
[UNABLE TO ANSWER]
“Unable to answer? You don’t have one?”
[UNABLE TO ANSWER]
Oh dear.
“It seems it can only answer with predetermined words. In other words, it’s the same as an NPC in a game. Hmph! Low-spec AI.”
I feel like you’re speaking too fluently. Unnecessarily.
“Well… um, Device-chan. I want you to send them back to Earth.”
The purpose of coming here is to send Kaida-kun and the others back to Earth.
Fairy King Oberon, and their son, Maya-chan too.
[IMPOSSIBLE]
“Huh…? Impossible? What do you mean?”
[IMPOSSIBLE]
“Hey, hey, Sinri. Translation, please.”
Sinri uses her Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) to search for the true meaning of impossible.
“It seems this device is broken.”
“Ah… I see. I broke it… wait, didn’t I fix it with Hand of God (Fixer Beam)?”
I certainly broke it, but then I properly restored it with the light that can fix anything, right…?
“It seems that when Kiriko messed with this tower using All Things Change, it caused an anomaly in the Teleportation Device’s program, and it bugged out.”
“I see… Hand of God (Fixer Beam) can fix physical damage, but it can’t fix broken programs.”
“That’s right.”
In other words, it seems that the Teleportation Device stopped working properly due to Kiriko-chan’s tampering with the tower.
Kiriko-chan says with a depressed expression.
“…I’m sorry.”
“Hmm.”
I pat Kiriko-chan’s head.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. We’ll figure something out.”
“That’s right, Kiriko! After all, we have the super-duper capable woman, me, and the Irrational God, Master!”
What’s an Irrational God?
Oh well.
“We’ll fix it, so don’t be down.”
“…Thanks.”
Kiriko-chan sheds tears. Now then, what should I do?
It’s not a physical wound, so I can’t fix it with healing magic.
“Leave it to me, Sinri-chan, the famous all-purpose, high-performance woman from another dimension!”
Sinri makes a sideways peace sign in front of her face.
“I’ll rewrite the program to normal.”
“Oh, you can do that.”
“Yes. I’m a Digital Spirit. Anything related to computers is my specialty!”
I see, so that’s why you’re so cocky.
“Alright, go, my Poke●on!”
“Aye sir!”
Sinri stands in front of the control panel and places both hands on it.
Well, it’ll be okay if I leave it to Sinri.
“Ugh, it’s a pretty complicated program. It’ll take some time to rewrite it.”
“How long will it take?”
“Even so, it should only take about half a day.”
Even for Sinri, it seems it will take half a day.
It seems quite difficult.
“I wonder if it would fix if I poked it?”
“Master, that expression doesn’t work for people in the Reiwa era.”
Eh, r, really…?
That’s a lie, right…? When the TV breaks, you hit it to fix it… right? Right…?
“Besides, Master. There’s no way it would fix by hitting it. It’s not a TV.”
“I see.”
I poke the device, gently.
That’s when it happened.
[REBOOTING PROGRAM]
““Huh…?””
N, no way…?
“S, Sinri-san…? Did it, by any chance, get fixed…?”
“I, I can’t believe it! It’s fixed!?”
Seriously…?
“That’s, i, impossible! Why would the program fix with this!? What’s the logic behind it!”
Amazing, Sinri, the incarnation of the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), is troubled…!
“What’s all the commotion, Sinri?”
Oberon, who was out of the loop, asks. Um, um.
“It seems like I messed up again…”
“? Isn’t that the usual?”
“I guess so.”
Sinri looks at me with a horrified expression.
“Eh, if Oberon’s gone… does that mean I’ll be the one doing the straight man routine? Eh, no way…! I can’t be the straight man for a crazy God whose abnormalities are everyday occurrences!”
How rude, Sinri-kun. Well, I kind of understand how you feel…
