It’s the start of 3rd volume. It is also the start of the 11th month of unemployment but I’m fine. Unemployment insurance is still available...(ーー;)

____________________________________________________________________________

Inside a certain dimly lit room---

The [outsiders] assembled once again.

None of them bothered to see each other’s faces, but their voices were distinctly directed to a certain man with slight annoyance.

“Lamcour-kun, how do you think we should perceive this report?”

“Only that report has come up so far. There’s no helping it”

“God, apostle, and their messenger… It’s a parade of words that’s unsuitable for people like us”

As if trying to match the darkness, a female’s sneer and giggles echoed.

“However not only once but even twice, it is true that this whatnot Goddess Fiona and her apostle have interfered with our movements. Moreover, they are doing it blatantly without concealing their identities, right. Is it just a coincidence or maybe because they know about [outsider]---”

Although Lamcour’s face couldn’t be seen, he argued otherwise with his protest.

“It might sound like an excuse, Mimosa, Salt and Tonic were ordered to investigate. According to their reports, their range of actions is... limited to Baxia and Fraul. As the investigation continues, why don’t we try and leave these two countries alone for now?”

“Hmm. In that case Lamcour-kun, how is the plan in your home country?”

“Lucorua Kingdom’s data are still accumulating. It’s fine to start the test anytime though”

“Alright, then let’s go with your plan. If it succeeds, it should prove that it’s also possible to do the same in the higher ranking countries”

“That might be a good idea. Not to mention, we don’t want to get involved with Gods anymore right?”

Reacting to the female’s light remark, a derision-like atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

“It’s not like even at the next destination, Lucoroa, a God will appear again”

“I know right!”

“”Ha Ha Ha Ha!!””

|■ Japan. Fiona’s room|

“I’m coming to meet you right now♪”

“What are you spouting? Did you receive some weird radio waves or something?”

Inside a certain mansion’s room. A goddess, together with her cat observer-cum-supporter were preparing for her next descent.

“Nothing, I just felt some sense of obligation to say it.”

“Lucorua, the country of your newly appointed apostle, Fudgy--- You are going to descend there, no? By the way, please spare me from the same thing when you descended to Fraul Kingdom.”

“Fufufu...are you implying this me will make the same mistake twice?”

“Yes, I am”

About a month passed since then---

After the numbers of believers went over 1600 people and when faith to her was recovered, Fiona appointed Fudgy as her apostle once again.

・Only one apostle was allowed in one country.

・It was possible to descend to the country where the apostle resided.

Since the requirements were fulfilled, Fiona and Navi decided to descend upon his country of origin, Lucorua.

“Fiona-chan, are you still here?”

“Ah, mama”

“Since this is already your second apostle, I doubt there will be any problem...but Navi, please take care of the support for Fiona this time too”

There, a call from Fiona’s mother, Goddess Alfrieda, and her father, Unisis, reached her.

“Geez, can’t the two of you trust your own daughter more”

“However, you see… what worries us will still make us worry. Navi, please take care of Fiona so that no annoying bugs come near her. Especially since in front a girl like Fiona...all males are nothing but wolves after all”

“Is there an animal that preys upon the wolf herself again?”

“What do you mean by that? But Papa, there is one wolf here. Are you sure that’s okay?”

“...”

“Why are you being quiet, Papa?”

“W-well, Navi is mama’s subordinate so I trust he won’t make that kind of mistake. Yup”

“Oh, please look at me and say it properly”

“How did you know I’m looking away?! You shouldn’t be able to see our side, right?!”

“Look Papa, let’s just be happy for our daughter’s growth. From when her qualification as God was in danger of being deprived off, she has reached the point where she even has two apostles… Well then Fiona, please take care of yourself”

“Yes~ mama, papa. I’m going!”

After Navi snuggled up to Fiona, they got into the position to perform a descension.

|■ Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

“Ah… they will arrive soon.”

“Really? Although we have cleaned and prepared the food...I’m still nervous when the time comes to it”

Both Mimosa and Fudgy had finished setting up and were waiting to welcome Fiona’s descent.

“Where would she come I wonder...previously we saw Fiona-sama’s descent when a bright light suddenly shone inside the room and after it subsided they appeared within it---”

“Wouldn’t they come directly to this room before us? Anyway, let’s be careful so that we don’t behave rudely...”

Click.

At that moment, there was a sound of the door being opened from the front door. Following that was the sound of footsteps and door to the room being opened, revealing the two people they had been waiting for.

“Excuse us”

“...yuu are making a very modest entrance this time eh”

The goddess and her supporter exchanged words while the two people were left dumbfounded.

“D-did you come from the front door?”

“Huh? But I remember locking the door”

The apostle and his older sister blinked their eyes as they talked. Contrary to the two of them, Fiona responded as if nothing in particular had happened.

“In front of God’s power, the restraint set by human is basically non-existent---”

“I-I see”

“With that level of simple lock, just one wire is more than enough to remove it”

“Can yuu please shaddap ♪”

In order to stop Navi from putting his iron claw on Fiona, Fudgy and Mimosa quickly separated them.

|■ Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

|■ Fudgy’s house. Dining room|

Few minutes after that---

They took their seats and exchanged greetings once again.

“I-I believe it is my greatest honor to have you descend upon my home today”

“Really, I’m sorry for this embarrassment of a goddess no matter where wi go”

“W-well... haha”

Not knowing how to respond to Navi’s words, a dry laugh escaped from Mimosa’s lips.

“Uhm, this place is...Fudgy’s house, am I assuming right?”

“Yes. There was a time whenI travelled to foreign countries with Mimosa-nee as information broker...Even then, we would come back to clean the house sometimes”

“When you come to Lucorua, feel free to use this place as your base since the kitchen and well at the back are still usable. Although it’s not as good as Alp-san’s house in Fraul Kingdom, there are spare rooms. In addition, we were able to renovate the bathroom with the salary given by Alp-san”

“Speaking of which, Alp-niichan...what is Alp-san doing?”

“If it’s about Alp-kyun, he seems to be planting trees to increase the next season’s yield with the help from Salt-syan and Tonic-syan”

“Ah~, those guys. Please use them as much as you want”

Thereafter the four of them continued to chat without care to the passage of time.

--- few hours later ---

“Afuaa...munyu”

“Fudgy, you should go to sleep soon. I’ll follow you to the bed later”

“I should go slip soon too”

“Yaess...then, I will guide Navi-sama to his room”

“Pleese do”

“I will also follow you to the bed later ♪”

“I’ll send yuu to the heaven directly if yuu do so?”

“Isn’t that basically saying that you will kill me in a roundabout way?”

“A-ahaha...”

Mimosa let out an awkward laughter as the boys headed to the bedroom.

Meanwhile the group of girls, Mimosa and Fiona---

“By the way---”

“Yes?”

“Well, although Fudgy is your childhood friend, why are you, uhm, the one taking care of him?”

“Aah, now that I think of it I haven’t talked about this. Actually---”

Mimosa started talking little by little.

Originally, it was Mimosa who did not have parents. She was then taken in by Fudgy’s parents who had no child of their own. After Fudgy was born, they naturally were raised as siblings.

She also wanted to repay the parents who had raised her, so the moment she was able to work, she worked as a rather decent information broker.

However, on one occasion where she was away from home for a long period of time, Fudgy’s parents passed away and Fudgy was taken away to be an indentured worker. Mimosa hurriedly sold her priority rights as an indentured worker and bought back Fudgy.

“After that...it’s the same story as what I have told. I had been running around with Fudgy to pay back the debt I owed when I bought back my priority rights as indentured worker”

“I see...you have been through a lot”

“My case is still the better one. To be honest, when I heard Fudgy was about to be taken in as an indentured worker---I cursed at the Gods, ‘just what fault had that child ever done’. I had to wonder if he’d done something really bad in his past life to move on...”

Mimosa kept her lips pursed and moved her gaze to the floor.

“Ah, but I think it has nothing to do with the past life, you know? I was a candy’s paper wrapping in my previous life after all”

“Candy’s paper wrapping?! How did you become a God from that?!”

“How about it, isn’t it amazing”

“Rather, it’s too amazing!!”

The two of them spent the rest of the evening in a useless conversation.
