I returned to my home. The fluffy ones gathered around me all at once.
After a round of cuddling…
“I have a new friend to introduce!”
Lisia-chan and Daguko stepped forward.
“Um, I-I’m Lisia! I-I’m… the daughter of Mika, Mother!”
Lisia-chan shouted, her face flushed bright red.
“I am Daguko! Executive Manager Daguko! I am also Mika-chan’s daughter!”
Daguko puffed out her chest proudly. Lisia-chan looked to be around five years old, while Daguko appeared slightly older—perhaps around the fifth grade?
‘Whaaaat!? Two daughters!?’
Felmaa gasped in shock.
“So, everyone, please get along!”
“Woof!” “Wuff!”
Before anyone else, Feruta and Feruco leaped toward Lisia-chan.
“Wah! So fluffy! You’re so big… and cute!”
“Woof!” “Wuff!”
Feruta and Feruco, the mischievous duo, quickly became friends with Lisia-chan.
You guys really don’t hold back, do you? Lisia-chan laughed happily.
I’m glad they seem to get along well.
“Hahaha! Amazing, Mika-chan! The daughters of the Four Divine Beasts are all here!”
Daguko was holding Kurohime and the other children of the Four Divine Beasts. Kurohime looked somewhat displeased.
“Daguko, do you know about the Four Divine Beasts?”
“Of course! We created this world together!”
Oh, I see… But why does Kurohime look so unhappy?
“…Mika-chan, this child… wasn’t she trying to obliterate the world?”
It seems Kurohime had witnessed the battle between Daguko and me. Apparently, there’s a type of spatial magic that allows one to see far away.
“Is it really okay to have such a dangerous child as a daughter?”
“Rather, if we don’t manage her, it could be quite perilous…”
She’s a child who tried to generate antimatter and obliterate the world… Ah, that’s why Kurohime is upset.
“Well, just get along, okay?”
“Umm…”
Kurohime showed a reluctant expression. …Yeah, I think I know what to do.
“Let’s have a welcome party!”
“Welcome party…?”
“Yes! Since we have a new friend, let’s celebrate! Chef Carol, please take care of the preparations!”
Chef Carol and the vegetable familiars headed to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
“Mika-sama, why are we having a welcome party…?”
“It’s so we can all live together happily from now on.”
And so, the welcome party began. The venue was Log House No. 2.
There was a spacious living area for guests.
“The floor is so warm!”
Daguko rolled around on the floor. Lisia-chan also looked amazed, gently touching the floor.
Before long, several large pots were placed on the table.
“Mika, what is this…?”
“It’s shabu-shabu.”
“Shabu-shabu…?”
The gods, the fluffy ones, and the Twilight Dragons tilted their heads in confusion. I suppose it’s not something they’re used to seeing.
“Today, we’re having a feast of beef and… crab!”
On the plate was the finest king crab set I bought from KAMIZON.
“Crab!? Is this… really crab, Saintess!?”
Rita, the leader of the Twilight Dragons, exclaimed in astonishment.
“I never knew such a meaty crab existed!”
“Yeah, isn’t this what crabs are like here?”
“Yes, they’re much smaller. They taste muddy and are hardly edible.”
I see, so the crabs here are more like freshwater crabs.
“It’s delicious! Go ahead and try some meat or crab…”
The pot was filled with various shabu-shabu ingredients (commercially available from KAMIZON). I dipped the crab and placed it on my plate.
“Let’s eat!”
I took a bite of the boiled crab.
“Delicious! So juicy! The best!”
The king crab was packed with meat. When cooked in shabu-shabu, the meat became even firmer.
“Come on, everyone, give it a try!”
Lisia-chan nodded and followed my example.
“Yum! It’s so good!”
“It’s amazing!”
The girls were raving about the crab. Good, good. It seems they liked it.
“So good! I’ve never had crab this delicious before!”
“I’ve never tasted a crab that wasn’t muddy in my life!”
The Twilight Dragons were engrossed in shabu-shabu, devouring the crab.
Feruta and the other fluffy ones were also happily munching on the crab.
“Humans on the surface can eat such delicious meat and crab!?”
Wait…?
“What do the gods usually eat?”
I asked Morrigan.
“In the Heavenly Realm, we do not feel hunger.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. In the realm of the heavens, the gods operate without physical bodies. Therefore, we do not get hungry.”
I see.
“Hahaha! I’ve decided, Morrigan! I will live with Mika-sama from now on!”
I said to Daguko.
“But you have duties as a god, right?”
“I don’t care! I want to be by Mika-sama’s side! I love the delicious food and the warm bed!”
Is it really okay for her to slack off like this when she has responsibilities as a god…?
“Isn’t that fine?”
“Yeah, I think it’s good.”
Morrigan and the Demi-Goddess agreed.
“Why?”
“Because that person doesn’t do her job.”
…Hearing their conversation, it seems the Supreme God is like a CEO in a company.
There are various types of CEOs. Some work hard, while others delegate everything to their subordinates and laze around.
Daguko is apparently the latter.
“Honestly, I’d prefer Daguko to be with Mika rather than in the Heavenly Realm.”
“Yeah, she’s annoying.”
How harsh…
“Well, I guess it’s fine.”
Suddenly, Fubuki collapsed. Oh.
“I’m sorry, I’ll find a sitter right away…”
“Please do…”
Another child who needs attention has joined us. Sorry, Fubuki.
Lisia-chan was fidgeting.
“You can stay here too, Lisia-chan.”
Her face lit up, but then quickly clouded again.
“No… I will return to Dead End.”
“I see. That place is important to you.”
This child is determined not to abandon her responsibilities and is trying to be a good lord. What a commendable child.
I gently patted Lisia-chan’s head. She squinted her eyes, but then her expression softened a bit.
“I feel sorry for my people. I’m the only one… enjoying such delicious food…”
Hmm, so serious.
“Indeed, Dead End is surrounded by places like Abyss Wood and Sapphire Silver Dragon Mountain, making it a dangerous area compared to here.”
The Demi-Goddess, who manages the surface, said.
“Originally, the place where Mika-sama is located is also a dangerous mountain. It’s just that it doesn’t attract monsters because it’s a Dragon Vein Area.”
Lisia-chan is based in Dead End. But that place is dangerous, much more so than here.
As her guardian, I want her to live in a safe place. Now, what to do…
“Mika, how about appointing Lisia as the Land God?”
“Land God…?”
“Yes. It’s appointing a god to protect the land.”
Morrigan explained.
“Is there any benefit to becoming a Land God?”
“If you become a Land God, the area you protect can become a Dragon Vein Area.”
A Dragon Vein Area. If it can be turned into a land filled with Holy Magic, monsters won’t attack.
“However, not just anyone can become a Land God. Only those with Divine Rank can.”
Then, Lisia-chan can be appointed without issue. She has gained Divine Rank by becoming a Familiar God.
“Lisia-chan, would you like to become a Land God?”
“Y-Yes! I would be delighted!”
I looked up how to do it using Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) and proceeded with the appointment.
Using the familiar chant, “Let’s Become Familiars,” I assigned the title to Lisia-chan.
Just like Fubuki and the others.
She became the “Land God of Dead End.” In that moment…
Kah…!
Gooooooo!
A pillar of light rose outside the window. It was coming from the capital, Averell, of Dead End. I confirmed through Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) that Averell had become a Dragon Vein Area.
“Alright, now monsters won’t attack anymore. Also, medicinal herbs will be automatically replenished. And injuries and illnesses will cease to exist.”
“!? Th-This is amazing… Thanks to you, Mika Mother, my territory has become… such an incredible land!?”
Lisia-chan said with a bright smile.
“Thank you, Mika Mother!”
Mika-sama’s surroundings are becoming lively.
It’s like having overwhelming strength. With this, the kingdom could fall at any time, and it would be fine.
