Chapter 1999: Canalis ⑯
Canalis-san shared various stories about her experiences traveling through different worlds, and since she’s a great storyteller, her stories had been really enjoyable.
There are parallel worlds like Trinia that are relatively similar to the world I came from, as well as worlds with completely different ecosystems and common sense.
Canalis-san also mentioned that she had been to a place with creatures that seemed to be a fusion of machines and living beings, just like that dragon model Lilia-san received as a reward from Makina-san.
[There really are a lot of different worlds. Do the World Creators decide what kind of world they’re going to make?]
[Hmmm, there are many different types of such situations. For example, here in Shallow Vernal’s world, her intentions are very strongly reflected. She modeled it after a world she referenced and made adjustments to the finer details. Well, this world is quite small, so it’s probably easier to tweak things down to the small details.]
[Now that you mention it, I think Makina-san…… Ah, errr, the God from my world said something similar. She mentioned that this world is too small for her true form to fully enter……]
[Makina…… Ahh, Machine God huh. Yeah, she’s one of the larger Gods in terms of existence, so bringing her true form here would be quite difficult. In my case, I was originally set up to travel between various worlds…… Errr, I’ve partitioned my authorities and abilities into categories, stored them in a special dimension, and reduced my existence. So I pull out what I need when I need them…… To put it simply, it’s like storing everything on a cloud server. Tahaa~~ Well, of course, there are restrictions, but thanks to that, I can maintain my slim and slender figure!]
I see. Canalis-san must have been traveling between worlds for a long time, and of course, as is the case with Trinia, in small worlds———— though this is based on the standards of World Creators———— she probably made various adjustments so that she could come without causing any negative effects.
[Oops, I got sidetracked. Well, anyway, just like Shallow Vernal’s case, some Gods meticulously adjust their worlds, while others just leave them alone…… There are even Gods who, after billions of years, look at their own world and say, “Huh? Was it always like this?”. Some are even so irresponsible that they’ll decide to destroy the world and remake it because they don’t like it anymore.]
[In fiction, Gods like that often end up being overthrown by the inhabitants of the worlds they created.][Yeah, that does happen in some worlds. While we lump all Gods who created worlds as World Creators, we have varying abilities. Some are only good at creating worlds, and their overall power isn’t anywhere near Omnipotent, so they can get overthrown. Then there are Gods who tried to destroy their worlds on a whim, but when they see the inhabitants’ resistance, they feel guilty or find it too bothersome and pretend to be defeated. Well, you’d wonder why they even created a world in the first place, but that’s just how it is. Tahaa~~ Gods may sound grand, but in the end, that’s the kind of beings they are.]
This is just my hunch, but it feels like Canalis-san’s stance is that while there may be a difference in power between Gods and humans, there isn’t much of a fundamental difference between them.
Perhaps that’s why, despite being an Omnipotent God, she feels approachable and easy to talk to.
[How should I say this…… When I hear stories like that, it makes me think that Canalis-san is a really kind person. It’s hard to express, but it’s something that makes me a bit happy.]
[Whoa there, Kaito-sama, that innocent smile is extremely dangerous. It’s a critical hit straight to my heart, you trying to kill me by making my heart skip a beat? Tahaa~~ Well, it does make me happy to hear that! Ah, by the way, changing the topic a bit, there’s the matter of meeting the rulers of each country as the representative of the brand……]
[Oh, when is that happening?]
[In three days. Yes, with all three countries. It’s more efficient to visit them simultaneously, so I plan to meet with all three rulers at once. Don’t worry, it will all be with my real body, so it won’t be disrespectful…… Tahaa~~ Sorry for being a woman who can exist in many places at once!]
The opening of the store is roughly set, and the day when Canalis-san will fully begin her activities as the representative of the tea brand is close…… Well, it already feels like she’s been working like crazy, but the amazing part is that for her, it’s probably no more than a minor effort.
In any case, with Canalis-san taking care of everything, I feel much more at ease.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Ryze…… shouldn’t be a problem. Chris…… same, not a problem. As for Laguna…… It would be no different from her greatest benefactor coming for an audience, so you could say this would be quite the body blow…… Looks like this time’s stomachache is heading for Laguna……]
? ? ? : [Knowing the other party is an Omnipotent God must make her feel even more stressed about being the one receiving the audience.]
