Apostle Of The Gods Chapter 9
Translator: Saitamsensei Editor:Ryunakama
By the time I realized, the surrounding has grown dark.
I am enveloped by a strange falling sensation.
To me, it's a sensation that I am all too familiar with. It almost feels nostalgic.
It seems my consciousness has been blown into the World of G.o.ds just by touching the Guardian Deity Love measuring device.
「It's been a while since I left this place」
This is the world I was in, after dying as Edelfuss and till reincarnated as Will.
It was only a few days ago that I recovered my memories of my previous life and of this world.
That's why I feel strange. It feels nostalgic yet at the same time like I just left this place.
That sort of strange feeling.
「Ah, Edel-chan. Nice to see you again, you've become so cute」
The G.o.ddess, who invited me to become a G.o.d after I died, suddenly appears before me.
Seems like the G.o.ddess has taken a liking to the appearance of Will, as she cheerfully pats my head.
Apparently I am in the appearance of Will, now. I guess reincarnation changes my appearance even in the World of G.o.ds.
「Not Edelfuss. I am Will now」
「Yes, you're right! I am glad you are doing well」
The G.o.ddess smiles cheerfully.
「What? Edelfuss has come?」
「It really is Edelfuss!」
The G.o.ds, who were my masters, are gathering around one by one.
There are many things that are weird in the World of G.o.ds. It is difficult to understand because the representation of perspective of G.o.ds is not accurate.
「If Edelfuss is here, does that mean you died again?」
「I am not dead yet. And I am Will now」
「Oh, yes. It was Will, right!」
I am being clamoured by all the G.o.ds gathering here.
My masters don't seem concerned at all that my appearance is different from when we were training.
「Excuse me! I will be the first to speak with Will-chan」 the G.o.ddess says.
「Hime, don't keep him all to yourself, Will is our disciple too」
「Still, you guys can only talk to him once I'm done!」
The G.o.ddess pushes away all the G.o.ds and stands before me.
Apparently, the G.o.ddess has a higher position even among G.o.ds.
「Why are you here, if you're not dead? Though I am happy to see you」
「Weren't you looking over me? Did I perhaps cease to be your favourite?」
I heard from the G.o.ds that they usually look over their favoured individual, the so-called beloved child of G.o.d.
And in my previous life I was the beloved child of the G.o.ddess.
「N-No! Will-chan is still my favourite! How could you say such a cruel thing?」
「Sorry」
「Still, G.o.ds are also busy and I can't be watching you all day long」
「I know! I know why Will is here, because I was watching!」
The one who cried out was the Sword G.o.d. He is appealing to me.
「Oh, thank you, Master Sword G.o.d」
「Yeah! Because I am always watching!」
「I was also watching」
「Me too, me too」
When the G.o.ddess glares at the G.o.ds who were appealing to me, everything becomes quiet.
The G.o.ddess did not shut the G.o.ds up.
She made it so the other G.o.ds' words could not reach my ears temporarily.
「So, how did you come here?」
I explain to the G.o.ddess about the guardian deity love measuring device made by the Small Sage.
「So you connected to this world with magic? That is actually impressive」
「That's right. My disciple came up with it」
「As expected of Will-chan's disciple!」
The G.o.ddess seems to be convinced as she is deeply nodding to herself.
And she speaks with a distant look in her eyes.
「Wow, something like that was actually made. Humans sure are amazing」
「You didn't know about this before?」
「I did not」
I immediately thought,
(How could you not know even though you are a G.o.d?)
However, I revise the thought.
To G.o.ds, people are a tiny existence as how an ant is to a human.
Even if a person feeds an ant on a whim, they are not necessarily interested in the ant society.
Even people who are interested in how ants defend themselves from foreign enemies and how they build nests are only a few.
Likewise, even if G.o.ds favour someone as their beloved child, it does not translate to being interested in human society.
「Will-chan, you are thinking of something cruel again!」
「That's right, unlike Hime, we were all looking over you!」
The G.o.ddess crosses her arms and pouted.
And my other masters continued appealing to me with a satisfied look on their faces.
The effective time that the G.o.ddess can block the other G.o.ds' voice seems to be short.
They are G.o.ds, so it is normal for them to read people's thoughts.
It's not like I can blame them for the lack of delicacy.
The same as there are no more than a few people who would actually look away from looking at a dog's b.u.t.thole.
「And it's better to stop comparing your innermost thoughts to the hole in the b.u.t.tocks」 says the G.o.ddess.
「I see I'll keep that in mind」
「Will-chan. We actually do like humans」
「I know, there must be so many other dimensions and worlds」
「Yes, it is exactly as Will-chan says」
Even so, I think I've been speaking in an overly friendly manner.
It must be due to spending a very long time training in the World of G.o.ds.
Since the concept of time is different here, it is not correct to say it was long.
However in the sense of a human being, a long time is the closest way to describe it.
The G.o.ddess sighs and says.
「It's a little sad to think that our love can be measured with a device」
(Even though you completely didn't realize it at all) I thought, but I will not put it into words.
「Even if you don't say, I can still hear you」
「Sorry about that」
「Will. How is life this time around?」
「Yeah, it's a real b.u.mmer. But what were you going to do if I had died before regaining my memories?」
My parents who were meant to be my protector had pa.s.sed away.
If something had happened at that time, I might have easily died as a toddler.
「I think it turned out okay though…」
At the same time, Dog G.o.d pushes aside the G.o.ddess and comes to the front.
The Dog G.o.d governs over the dog tribe. It has the appearance of a G.o.dly Dog.
「Will! How is Luxcanis?」
「Luxcanis?」
「Oh right, Will calls Luxcanis as RunRun!」
A shocking fact comes out of the Dog G.o.d's mouth.
