In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 408: The Resort, and the Gods.

Really, Im surprised.

Right. In terms of the quality and inner reserves of his divinity, hes already pulling ahead of us. I guess this is as expected for a direct dependant of the World God-sama.

In a forest with no people, inside a barrier of [Prison] I deployed, I was activating [Divinity Release] as asked for by Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san.

With divinity being released from all over my body, there are white-ish gold phosphorescence around me. When Im in this state, I feel pretty restless, to be honest. Its like my body wants to move around Like it wants to rampage, or something.

According to Kousuke ojii, thats because the mind has not caught up with the body progressing further into the divine; that just means my mind is still immature, isnt it.

Wait, your hairs grown out again.

Platinum blond hair thats very close to white dropped onto my shoulders. Even though my hair stopped growing during [Divinity Release] ever since the fight against Gira

The amount of divinity mustve exceeded what you can control. Thats a sign that your bodys becoming closer to a gods than before. Whats astounding is how you can move freely between your human and divine forms, like pressing a switch. Its not the same as us turning into humans, too.

Turning into humans I mean, Im originally a human, you know.

That might be the reason. You didnt obtain the power of a god as a complete human, but instead, you are a humans spirit dwelling in the body of a god. I guess being able to exhibit characteristics of both sides like you can is natural considering that.

Well, this body was accidentally made by Kami-sama with materials from the Divine Realm, after all. Whats more, theyre materials filled with his own divinity. In terms of my body, it wouldnt even be strange to consider me a blood relative to him, was what I heard.

I wanted to make a final confirmation before the battle against the evil god, but I guess it wasnt needed. All you need now is to be careful not to make stupid mistakes.

Hahaha, stupid mistakes, eh. Touya-kun, theres no need to take after the World God-sama that much, you know?

Hahaha, you can say that again.

Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san looked at each other and laughed.

I didnt laugh at all though. Why? Well, because I can see the person who suddenly appeared behind the two of them

*Cough*! You called for the Stupid Mistakes God?

When the World God-sama made a dry cough, Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san solidified on the spot.

Wh, why is World God-sama here on the surface

I took a bit of time off, and thought to meet with everyone after a long time. I didnt expect you guys to be talking about me, really.

Hes talking with a smile, but his eyes are dead serious. Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san have cold sweat flowing down their foreheads like waterfalls. Hmm, Ive never seen these two like this before; its kinda interesting. Nice.

Oops, I have the job of looking after the knight orders training after this! Gotta go or Ill be late!

Ah, not fair! Etto, I, Ive been asked by the head chef Claire-san to hunt two, no three birds for her! Ah, Im so busy, so busy! Well, its like that so, see you later World God-sama!

Uttering painful-sounding excuses, the two of them disappeared from this place. They ran, didnt they.

Sigh, those girls Theyve become a bit too relaxed. Have they caused you any troubles?

Hahaha. Well, Im also getting helped by them in a lot of ways, so its pretty even overall, I guess?

I deactivated [Divinity Release]; it does feel like what Moroha nee-san said, pressing a switch. Ah, as expected, my hair is still elongated.

Its been a long time. Have you been well?

Yes, thank you. Um, was it fine to come down to the surface for you?

Ah, its fine its fine. This body is a clone, after all. Theres another me properly staying in the Divine Realm, so there are no problems.

A clone So the same thing as the avatar that he used the last time he came down. Its convenient, isnt it. I wonder if I can use it in the future, too.

For now, standing here and talking is a bit bad, so lets move to the castle.

Right. Its been a while since I last met the young ladies too.

I opened a [Gate], and returned to the castle with the World God-sama.

Before, when Kami-sama first came down to the surface, he named himself as Mochizuki Shinnosuke, and took the position of my grandfather.

Thats why, the people in the castle would treat him as one of my relatives, part of the royal family, but for the fiances the situation is a bit different.

Since they know that hes the World God, basically the supreme deity of all worlds, theyre apparently finding it hard to establish a good distance between each other.

What, you dont need to worry about that. Just treat me as Touya-kuns grandfather like usual when Im down here, and thats good enough.

Ye, yes. Well then, welcome, Ojii-sama.

Right right. Just like that.

Kami-sama smiled at Yuminas reply. Oops, maybe I should start calling him jii-chan too.

Since we wanted to talk alone, I guided him to the castles balcony.

Well, the reason I came down this time was to take a look at how those gods are spending this vacation, and also to check up on this world. This world had already left the management of the gods. Normally, it would either be destroyed by the Destruction God, or be left to slowly wither away on its own. However, for this world, theres another possible path of becoming a world managed under you, Touya-kun.

After I defeat the evil god, right?

Thats right. As long as we remove that, this world will probably not head towards a misguided evolution path. Youd be saving a world Or rather, two worlds. There wouldnt be any problem for you to become this worlds manager. Well, youll probably have a lot of trouble for the first one, two thousand years, though.

It seems like they wont ask me to manage this world immediately after I defeated the evil god. Ill be spending a few hundred years on the ground, then Ill be frequently heading to the Divine Realm. It somehow feels like a transfer while leaving my family behind, so I dont exactly like it.

And regarding another reason why I came down this time. After the continued existence of this world is assured, Id like Touya-kun to develop this place as a recreational space, a resort for the gods. Ive come to tell you about that this time too. Of course, well be making rules. Something like living properly as humans instead of gods, and other things.

Wai, a resort!? Eh, now that I think about it, this place is already something like that

The faces of the gods who descended into this world surfaced in my mind. Could those guys already be treating this place as a resort for them?

Even the gods require some rest, after all. And they cant relax well in a world Im managing. Well, its troubling for us if they relax too much as well, so.

Uun I guess its fine as long as they dont go overboard with things.

Well, that well have to deal with later. Umu, this is delicious.

Kami-sama drank the green tea on the table. Luu was being considerate and poured us tea which Kami-sama liked.

About how long will you be staying for this time?

I think Ill be bothering you for a few more days. After that, Ill be going around the world to see some things a bit.

A bit, he says Well, there isnt anything in this world that can touch him, anyway.

Ah, but right now in Eisengard

I know. The [Godslaying Poison], isnt it. It is indeed a poison that can even kill gods, but it has no effect on higher-ranked gods. Of course, it wont do a thing to me.

Eh!? Is that so!? But I heard that the higher your divinity is, the stronger the poison would work

Thats only limited to lower-ranked gods. In the first place, the one who accidentally created that poison was the lower-ranked Medicine God. It wont have an effect on someone with higher amounts of divinity than its creator.

In general, gods governing over something are all lower-ranked gods. The Love God, Karen nee-san is one such example. When you become a higher-ranked god, you apparently take on multiple different traits, and its impossible for you to be described simply as the God.

Before, World God-sama had mentioned that he is both the god of light and the god of darkness. Thats probably due to him holding multiple different types of divinity, I suppose.

Then, dont tell me things like purifying the Godslaying Poison

Of course, I can do it. However, this is considered a test for you, you know? How would the examiner solving the questions for you do any good?

Youre completely right.

That makes sense. I kinda asked that without thinking since Kousuke ojii is helping with it already. To be honest, Kousuke ojiis help already feels like its on the borderline. Something like hiring an excellent home tutor in preparation for a test? Its still not in the range of cheating, though.

Ah! Its true-nano da! World God-sama is here-no da!

A young girl holding a liquor bottle appeared out of nowhere. The Alcohol God, Mochizuki Suika. She looks drunk, as always.

Ohh, its you. Have you been well?

Im doing great-! Its so much fun drinking from morning to dusk-! Theres so many different liquors on the surface, so its never boring too-!

Suika laughed like a cat with a Nyahahahaha. Looking at it, shes pretty drunk already, isnt she.

Well well, lets have one cup first. This here, you see, is a local liquor made in the Mountain Province of Roadmare-. Its a bit spicy, and really good-. Ah, Touya onii-chan, dont you have any snacks?

I grabbed Suika, who took out a sake cup from god knows where and started pouring alcohol into it, up.

Sigh, you Where did you get that alcohol this time?

Giku. Ano-, that is-, I went to Audrey-chans place for a bit, and got it in exchange for helping with some magic beast exterminations-no da. Nyahaha

Audrey-chan? Wait, thats Roadmares current doge, isnt it!?

I thought it was weird since she was always drinking under my tab. So she went all the way to Roadmare just to get her hands on more alcohol I better go apologize later

Even if shes turned into a human like this, a gods still a god. Although theres no way she would be at Moroha nee-san or Takeru ojiis level, Suika is still considerably strong. Your average magic beast doesnt stand a chance.

Fumu. This is indeed quite good. Touya-kun, do you have any snacks?

Eh, youre drinking? Well, I do but Sigh, whatever.

I lined up some edamame, sashimi, cold tofu, karaage, yakitori, and other things that would go well with liquor in small portions on the balcony table.

Theres the dinner later, so dont drink too much.

We know, we know.

Nyahaha. We know, we know.

As World God-sama and Suika raised their sake cups together, a cheerful tune floated in from somewhere. I can tell without even looking. Its Sousuke nii-san.

Whats more, isnt this a song about drinking alcohol, with lyrics about making up reasons to drink throughout the year or something

Arara, looks fun-nano yo.

Yeah.

Ohh, you guys are here too.

Karen nee-san and Kousuke ojii came by too. No, seriously, come in by the door. Dont wing it with transfer magic every time! I know me saying this has zero persuasiveness, but still!

Theres the stuff earlier, so I guess Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san might feel hard to come? Takeru ojiis training with Ende so he wont be back until the evening.

Thinking to leave them alone until this evening, I left the balcony.

When I came out onto the hallway, I saw the figures of Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san backing away from the balcony door they were peeking in from. What are you doing

I dont think hes angry, you know. How about you bring these in and share the drink with them?

I took out two bottles of highest-grade wine I received from the Belfast king, as well as a variety of cheese for snacking out from [Storage].

Well, you saved us.

Im happy to have such a good younger brother.

The two of them received those from me, then entered the room. Man, they keep causing me trouble.

Ohh-! Moroha onee-chan and Karina onee-chan also came-no da! Ah! Th, that wine is the legendary! Quickly let me drink it-no da!

Suikas voice could be heard from behind the now-closed doors. Now then, I guess tonights dinner is going to be a grand one.

I headed to the kitchen to discuss the menu for dinner with our head chef, Claire-san.
