Demon King & Hero Chapter 8-2: Who are you? Me? A G.o.ddess from the next neighbourhood.

‘What’s this?’

At that moment, the hero knew she was weird.

When she first saw the demon king, she was so tense her breath caught in her throat.

When the demon king said he quit, she wondered if such things could actually happen.

When the demon king was kidnapped, when that b.o.o.bed demon king called Aya came up, when the demon king made a covenant, she was horrified.

And when the figures unknown to the commons, the real owner of the worlds, the demon G.o.d and G.o.d of light met with her, she thought everything had come to a peak! But now.

‘Oh, that’s the case then. She’s the Chief G.o.d of the next neighbourhood.’

Just that. The woman in front of her was just, the Chief G.o.ddess that lived in the next neighbourhood. Creating the heavens and life? And the wors.h.i.+p that it afforded?

‘… I think I’m not going to be able to believe in G.o.ds.’

Thinking as such, the hero nodded.

“… Look at that hero’s mentality.”

“d.a.m.n. A. Ma. Zing. She just denied G.o.ds in front of the Chief G.o.d.”

As the two Chief G.o.ds made a blank face on reading the hero’s thoughts, the demon G.o.d and Raelle, whose faces were also equally blank until then, shouted,

“Wait what do you mean, next neighbourhood! That’s another dimension entirely!”

“Yeah! If we want to go to the human world, you put all sorts of restrictions on us, but you’re allowed to come and go between dimensions?”

At their yells, the Chief G.o.d calmly replied,

“Yep, we can.”

“……”

“……”

“I’m the Chief G.o.d. I’m a Creator, you know? And besides, I’m going over to her place every day to have fun.”

“……”

“……”

“Well, if you have any problems, you be a Chief G.o.d.”

Raelle and Nielle’s faces turned blank again. As the two of them turned to the G.o.ddess, she smiled and said,

“Oh, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“B-been a while?”

“Have we met before?”

Looking at Raelle and the demon G.o.ds who had their heads slightly tilted, the G.o.ddess smiled and said,

“Yep! Of course, because I’m your mother.”

“Wh, whaaaaat!”

“Hiiiiieeeeeet?!”

Interrupting the horrified two G.o.ddesses, the Chief G.o.d looked the G.o.ddess and said,

“Hold up, let’s decide on proper t.i.tles. I’m the Chief G.o.d so that’s out; they’re both female-type G.o.ds, so you’re all G.o.ddesses.”

“”Why are you deciding on t.i.tles all of a sudden after that bomb?””

“What should it be… G.o.d’s will?”

“”What do you mean, G.o.d’s will?! No, there’s more G.o.ds than humans here right now, you know?!””

“Hmmm… Then what should I do… The world’s will, the author’s thoughts…”

“”World’s will?! Wait, shelf that last one for your own brain!””

At Raelle and the demon G.o.d’s tackle, the G.o.ddess made a serious expression and nodded.

“What should it be? The pure and innocent woman? The flawless beauty under the heavens?”

“No, that’s too long… Think about the person that has to type that all out every time it’s said.”

“Hm… But you can just chew through the kbs(1) then. Might actually like that?”

“”Is this the time to be worrying about that?! No, that back part! Something’s dangerous!””

Okay then, simply the G.o.ddess of drama, G.o.ddess Kim for short.

“No! For that matter, what’s the G.o.ddess of drama have anything to do with G.o.ddess Kim!”

“Who are you talking to?”

“”The G.o.d’s will! Evil incarnate, the source of all evil!””

As these nonsensical declarations were being exchanged back and forth, two humans, one G.o.d, and one demon king were quietly whispering in a corner.

“What’s this? It’s scary.”

“… I wanna go back to heaven.”

“Hero, let’s gap it.”

“Ok, on the count of three, run for the window.”

Looking at the sc.r.a.pping Supreme G.o.ds and the creators above them, the four nodded. How would you put it? It felt like if they stayed any longer, something truly fiendish would appear. Thinking that, they charged at the windows.

“”””Emergency escape!””””

-Shatter!

With the sounds of breaking gla.s.s, the four… Came back inside the room.

“Fufufu… Trying to run.”

“What do you think I came all this way for? Fufufufu.”

The two smirking creators said together.

“You can enter freely.”

“But not necessarily exit the same.”

Of the four that were quivering in fear, the hero and demon king yelled at the same time.

“”This is our house! You’re the one that came in on your own!””

And so the story went to its conclusion.

-How?!

Let’s ignore everyone else.
