【☆★News★☆】
There’s a very important announcement in the afterword.
I’d be happy if you read to the end.
I provided a place for the fairies, Oberon’s subordinates, to live.
Around the lake, cyclamen fields spread out. The colorful flowers are truly beautiful.
I think I’ll come here for a walk with the Divine Beast Babies next time. I want to show Licia-chan and the others, and a picnic might be nice too. Yes, yes.
“God-sama!”
“Hmm?”
A tiny fairy came up to me.
“What is it?”
“Thank you!”
Thank you?
“Everyone seems to be grateful to Lord Mika,”
Oberon said, and the fairies gathered around and bowed their heads.
“You’re welcome.”
“Want to give you a token of our appreciation?”
“A token… huh? What?”
I’ll have Oberon translate.
“It seems they want to give you a token of their gratitude.”
“Haha, I see. It’s okay, just words of thanks are enough.”
It’s not like I planted the flowers because I wanted a token of gratitude.
The fairies looked gloomy.
“Are we unwanted?” “Is the present we prepared not enough?” “Should we repay your kindness with our lives?” “Yeah, that’s it.” “Then let’s all die together.” “Let’s do that, let’s do that.”
No, no, no, no.
“You don’t have to die.”
“What?!”
They were clearly dejected.
Hmm… what should I do? I really didn’t do it wanting anything in return.
“Doesn’t seek reward.” “Lord Mika is kind.” “But we can’t accept it.” “We still have to risk our lives…”
I said you don’t have to risk your lives…
“Lord Mika, please give these children some work to do.”
“Work?”
“Yes. I think that would make the fairies feel less anxious.”
What are they anxious about…?
～～～～～～
Sinri: They are worried that after receiving territory for free, they will be asked for something big later.
～～～～～～
I see… I don’t intend to ask for anything later.
But if these kids are worried about it…
That’s right. I should prepare some work for them.
“Well, then, let’s see… honey for now.”
I remember the pancakes made with Fairy Flower Nectar.
The Fairy Flower Nectar went perfectly with the fluffy pancakes.
If I could eat that every day, it would be wonderful.
“It’s fine if it’s periodic, but please bring me honey.”
“Got it!”
The fairy who first spoke to me had a beaming smile.
…Hmm?
Did it… actually shine just now…?
“God-sama!”
Another fairy tugged at my sleeve.
“What is it?”
“What about me?”
“Huh…?”
What about me…?
“Well, I told you to bring honey, right? That’s enough.”
The fairy looked gloomy.
“I… am useless. A window-seat tribe.”
“No, no, why would you say that…”
“Honey carrier, that’s the job of the previous kid.”
Honey carrier…?
～～～～～～
Sinri: It seems to be the fairy who carries the honey.
～～～～～～
Complicated…
“You can carry honey too.”
“But the job overlaps. Resource competition. War? Like punching each other?”
U-uh…
“Hey Oberon, what’s going on?”
“Well, I guess you don’t need many people for the job of carrying honey. It’s not like you eat pancakes every day.”
I see…
The job competition will reduce their own work by half.
“Do you want a different job?”
“Want to change jobs.”
It seems they want a different job.
“Isn’t it okay not to force them to work? The kids on the Floating Island aren’t working.”
“But the Vegetable Familiars (Greater Fairies) are serving Lord Mika, right?”
“Well… I guess so.”
“These children are also Greater Fairies like the Vegetable Familiars. They have become Lord Mika’s Familiars. That’s why they want to serve God.”
Serving God… huh.
“Job wanted.” “Want to get a job that makes use of my qualifications.” “Is it a new graduate if I change jobs?” “Indeed, it’s hard to throw away.”
The fairies stared at me.
…Huh? Wait a minute.
“Do I have to give all these kids a job?”
“We want jobs!”
Everyone… is too hardworking…!
I want to laze around without working if possible…
～～～～～～
Sinri: Labor is an obligation.
Speaking of which, I’m working hard too.
～～～～～～
Yeah, right.
Even though you’re always playing games.
～～～～～～
Sinri: I’m working and playing games (`・ー・´) smug!
～～～～～～
Okay, okay.
～～～～～～
Sinri: (´・ω・`) dejected
～～～～～～
“Lord Mika, about the jobs for the fairies…”
“Ah… yeah. What should I do?”
“For now, shall I assign them appropriate jobs?”
“Oh, really? That’s a lifesaver.”
It’s a pain to think about jobs one by one, so it’s better to just pass it on.
～～～～～～
Sinri: There it is, the basic throw-it-all-away girl.
～～～～～～
But, isn’t it a pain to think about all the jobs to be assigned individually to this many fairies?
“Everyone, please work somehow, appropriately.”
That’s when it happened.
Paaaaaah!
The fairies began to shine all at once.
The fairies are growing bigger and bigger, each in their own way!?
Moreover, they all have different shapes!?
～～～～～～
Sinri: It seems the fairies have evolved again.
～～～～～～
Whaaat!?
What’s going on!?
～～～～～～
Sinri: It seems that the Omniscience skill of Omnipotence has been activated.
～～～～～～
Omnipotence. A skill that gives subordinates abilities that are convenient for me.
When you give them a name or a role, they develop power accordingly. Well… I know that.
“I haven’t even assigned them jobs yet!”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Master Mika gave the fairies instructions earlier, right?
～～～～～～
No, no, no, that was just a very rough instruction.
I haven’t assigned them jobs.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Predicting this would happen, I thought of jobs in a fleeting moment and assigned them to the fairies in advance.
In addition to that, the master’s rough instructions were added, and as a result, the fairies were treated as if God had assigned them jobs.
～～～～～～
“It’s not my fault…!”
In other words, this idiot was thinking about jobs before I even asked.
～～～～～～
Sinri: I was annoyed that everyone was calling me an idiot. How about it? Isn’t a capable AI useful today?
～～～～～～
Then, Oberon trembled…
“I told you not to do anything unnecessary without permission!?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Eek!
～～～～～～
Eek?
“My clone created with Omnipresence is spanking Sinri… no, the idiot’s butt.”
“I, I see…”
～～～～～～
Sinri: B-b-but! Everyone makes fun of me for being an idiot! I wanted to show you how capable I am… eek!
～～～～～～
“Don’t! Do anything! Without! Instructions!”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Waaah… spanking my butt like that… that’s an expression from the early Showa and Heisei eras… you can’t broadcast that in Reiwa…
～～～～～～
It seems that over there, Omnipresent Oberon is patting Sinri’s butt.
It’s true that I haven’t seen it in Reiwa, but…
Meanwhile, the fairies who were given jobs without permission.
Everyone’s appearance has changed.
“I am a Leprechaun. I make God-sama’s shoes?”
Said a fairy wearing a red hat.
“I am a Cait Sith. I am in charge of brushing cats?”
A fairy with cat ears.
And so on, various fairies seem to have been born this time.
“Lord Mika…”
“Eep…!”
I feel waves of anger from Oberon…!
“I, I’m sorry… for giving rough instructions without permission.”
Well, actually, it was my subordinate who did it without permission.
But the responsibility also lies with me, the boss.
“Besides, Sinri didn’t do it with bad intentions. It’s because she thought about how to make my job easier and acted accordingly. Please don’t be too angry.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Master… (;_;)
～～～～～～
Haa… Oberon sighed.
“No, the reason is also that I didn’t fully grasp that Lord Mika would have such a big impact just by speaking casually. It is also my fault that I couldn’t stop the idiot’s rampage.”
“No, Oberon isn’t bad. No one is bad.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: That’s right, that’s right.
～～～～～～
Yeah, Sinri, please reflect a little…?
～～～～～～
Sinri: (´・ω・`) dejected
