In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 425: Wrapping Up, and Rest.

Even after defeating the evil god, the variants around the world did not disappear. Even while the evil gods protection disappeared from their bodies, turning them into a dull lead color and rendering them unable to release divinity, they still lived.

While the variants have been released from Yuras and the evil gods controls, it seems that the order of attack humans have been deeply ingrained in them, and they continued to fight without stopping.

However, having lost their regeneration powers and their ability to harden themselves, the current variants are just opponents on the same level as stone golems. The remaining variants around the world are being hunted down steadily by the knight orders and adventurers of various countries.

We also flew around the world and cleaned up variants all over the place. In the end, it turned into something like a chore for us. Pest removal work, so to speak.

While there are countries in which variants appeared in several locations, there are also countries in which they didnt appear at all. Some countries ended with only minor damage, while others had several villages or towns devastated.

The world had been saved, but its not like there were no losses at all. Thinking about if I couldve saved everything is nothing but arrogance, but still, I couldnt help it.

In the end, it took us 2 more days before we were able to completely remove the foreign invaders known as variants from this world.

Everything is wrapped up, and Brunhild sent word of it coming to an end to the other countries; at least for the moment, peace had returned to the world.

After that, I returned to the castle and slept like a log. I didnt even see any dreams.

Nu?

When I woke up on the bed, it was still dark. I checked my smartphone; its only 5 in the morning.

The distributed Mochizuki Touya app had already ended its service. While it did contribute greatly to our victory this time, Babylons magic tank were apparently nearly squeezed dry in

the process. Everyone did use it without reservation, after all. Well, that also contributed to the speed at which we were able to wrap everything up, though.

Nn~

I stretched greatly on the bed, put on my coat, and went out to the empty balcony.

The sun was just beginning to rise, and the sky started to brighten up.

I sat down beside the round table placed on the balcony, and took out a pot of coffee and a mug from [Storage].

After pouring myself a cup of coffee thats still steaming, I took a sip. Mm, delicious.

Mind giving me a cup too?

Of course.

I took out a new mug and poured coffee into it for World God-sama, who suddenly appeared in front of me. I then placed two containers, with sugar and milk in them respectively, on the table for him to take.

Youre no longer surprised even if I show up all of a sudden, arent you.

Ive somehow become able to tell when you would show up. Is this because I awakened as a god too?

Also because Im the other party in question here. Youre my dependent in essence, and we both have divinity with similar characteristics. Thats probably the reason. If it was the Love God or someone else, I dont think you wouldve had the same reaction.

And here I thought I wouldnt be surprised by Karen nee-sans groups elusiveness anymore with this, but guess I was too nave.

First, I suppose I should congratulate you. You have defeated the evil god which appeared in this world. As per promised, myself, the World God, officially recognizes you as a member of

the divine. While your divinity is that of an upper-ranked gods, your own position would be above the subordinate gods, and at the very bottom of the lower-ranked gods; something like that.

So Im starting from the very bottom, huh.

Of course you are. I cant show too much favoritism to you just because youre my dependant, you know. Well, the other gods all know that thats just me trying to save face, so youll probably become an upper-ranked god quickly enough. Id say in around ten thousand years.

Thats quite the long period youre talking about

Its nothing; once youre past two, three thousand, itll go by in the blink of an eye.

Ah, that Janets Law thing, isnt it. I saw it once before on TV. When youre a kid, a day can feel like eternity; and yet when you turn into an adult, a whole year can pass in the blink of an eye. Its a theory about that. (Note: weirdly, I couldnt find any simple definitions on google. The guys name is Paul Janet, and his niece Pierre Janet wrote the book that publicized it. Google yourself to know more.)

To a 50-year-old man, one year would be 1/50th of his entire life. To a 5-year-old kid, that same year would equate to 1/5th of his entire life. Basically, one year to a 5-year-old would feel about as long as ten years would feel to a 50-year-old; thats what this law theorizes.

I suppose its something along the lines of a kid having few experience in life, and thus seeing everything as a new experience, therefore lengthening the amount of time he feels have passed. And, as more experiences are piled up as he grow older, he becomes used to the things he sees, and as such the passage of time would feel faster to him. Well, the fact that were talking about a few thousand years here is still quite bizarre, though.

For now, what should I do?

Lets see Well, for the first hundred, two hundred years its fine to continue living on the ground like a normal human. And, at a good time, you would move into the Divine Realm, and manage the world while coming down from time to time.

What should I do for the managing part?

Can I even manage an entire world when Im barely getting by managing this small country?

Its fine if you dont do anything normally. Well, if the world was on the verge of being destroyed, or if its going down a mistaken path, then you should start to do something about it.

And by something, you mean?

Granting someone in the world a holy sword and making him the hero that would save the world, or giving divine revelation to priests, things like that. Direct intervention are technically breaking the rules, after all. Having said that, though, there is the backdoor technique of the manager god descending into the world himself via turning into a human.

Im happy to not have to do anything most of the time, but to be honest, Id really not want the world to progress into a state where a hero would become necessary.

Well, we can leave that aside for now. For the moment, this world is left in your charge. At the same time, Ive talked about this before, but I want this world to become a resort for the gods. This is only between us, but theres actually quite a substantial number of applicants already. Everyone wants the chance to stretch their wings without restrictions on the ground, I guess.

Will it be alright? Itd trouble me a lot if people come down here and start rampaging around.

Well do the selection regarding that on our end, so its fine. Well have them descend after turning into humans, so even if they do start something it wont turn into the world getting destroyed; you can rest easy about that. Basically, they just want to live a normal Well, its probably not going to be normal, but they just want to live like a regular human and enjoy that. Its like those virtual experiences you can gain in those TV game shows on your former world.

Ahh Yeah, I get what hes trying to say. Things like playing the role of a hero in an RPG, becoming a popular man in dating sims, or solving cases as a great detective in adventure games Basically, they want to experience a different life to their current one. Its quite the mundane thought for gods, to be honest.

I wonder. Did they become jealous of Karen nee-san and the others due to them having a lot of fun down here?

The Love God, Sword God and others will also stay as your support and mentors like the Agriculture God. Youd feel better about it that way too, wont you?

This already feels like quite a bit of favoritism to me though. Isnt this different from what you were talking about earlier

Hohoho, nobody would mind as long as its not expressly stated out in the open. The last time I had a dependant was a few billion years ago, too. Think of it as a parents love Or rather, a grandparents love for his grandson.

Im extremely thankful for it. Although, I wonder why is it I keep feeling that my supports will continue causing troubles for me in the future as well.

Well, the things after this will come by themselves. One last thing; this is something I want you to remember. No matter the world, it will come to an end one day. This world wont continue to exist forever. Of course, your former world as well. Whats important, I believe, is the way that world had existed. Work hard, so that other gods can say that was a fantastic world when the time comes for it to disappear. And no matter what, please dont make the Destruction God come here on a business trip, you hear me?

Yeah, thats an ending Id very much like to avoid too

I believe that you can avoid it. Well then, until another time.

Like morning mist dispersing under the sun, the figure of World God-sama disappeared. The sun was already completely up, and its rays illuminated the world around me.

The worlds manager, eh As expected, it hasnt really clicked in me yet. Well, he did say its okay to live normally for a hundred years or two, so for now lets just go back to doing my normal duties.

First

Maybe this one is better after all How about Luu-san?

Uun I myself prefer something with more
