458 Reunion, and a Headbutt.

We returned from the zoo for the midnight mission that was going to happen later, and took a short nap. Although my father is a manga artist and my mother is a picture book writer, both of them rarely stay up all night. According to my father, "all-nighters are inefficient." The act of not sleeping slows down your thinking and distracts you. My mother also said that her skin would become rough after all-nighters.

There is no reason for damaging your bodys working by staying up for too long . You can work if you are healthy. I also think so.

That said, there are situations where you can't finish something in time unless you stay up all night. There, it may be necessary.

Certainly, the deadline for the works serialized by my father should not come yet. Unless it has changed from the past. If it was the old way, he should be sleeping normally today.

My parents' house is next to the town where my grandpa's house is, and it's about 15 minutes by train. It takes 15 minutes by train from station to station, but 30 minutes from Grandpa's house to the station, 15 minutes by train, and 15 minutes from the station in the town where I lived. It takes an hour. (

Of course, the train is moving slowly because time is time. Well, I didn't feel like going by train from the beginning. If you walk in the middle of the night with such a number of people, you will definitely be noticeable and there are chances that you may be questioned. I have no intention of taking such a risk.

"[Gate]."

Using Divinity through my smartphone, I open a portal directly from Grandpa's house to my parents' house. It is my home that I lived in for many years. I can go in without any permission. I can also open a [Gate] to it from anywhere because Ive been there many times already.

I go to the front of everyone and pass through the [Gate] first. It was dark because there was no light, but beyond that, there was a familiar living room. It's not much different from what I saw a long time ago. Oh, the TV is new, I guess.

Nostalgic Oops, I shouldnt get soaked up in too much sentiment.

"[Invite the darkness, sleep peacefully, sleep cloud]."

A magic circle spreads at my feet, and the light purple clouds that emerge from it drift throughout the house. It's a cloud that invites everyone in this house to the world of sleep. It's possible that my parents are awake. It's a hassle if they think that we are thieves and theyre notified. Now we don't have to worry about making noise.

Yumina and the others appear one after another in the living room through the [Gate].

"So, this is the house of Touya-san "

Linze looks around in the dimly lit room which is the size of about 15 tatami mats. Do you think it's small? Or this is the size of a normal house, right? But I guess its no good compared to the castle, huh?

"So what do we do, Darling? You talked about making your parents think theyre dreaming, but do you use spells such as [Mirage] or [Hypnosis]?"

"No. Im going to connect us to my parents consciousness using Divinity. It is more realistic and easier to think that it is a dream, that way."

At first, I was thinking about the method that Leen said, but I just received an email from Karen-nee saying that this is safer.

It's amazing that I can receive emails even if Im across the world Does she ever browse the internet or call Kami-sama? I never knew this about Karen-nee.

Of course, it can be done only with my smartphone, which is a sacred treasure, but not with the girls smartphones.

In other words, instead of making my parents think of it as a dream, let's meet the in a dream. With this method, I can appear in front of the two people in my regular form and not as a child.

Yumina asks while tilting her head slightly.

"Sharing consciousness with a summoned beast is it something like that?

"Well, it's close to that. To be precise, it feels like bringing everyone's consciousness to another space? It's okay because I can't look inside your heart." (TLN: Different dimension, basically.)

Connecting everyone's consciousness to a space created by my godly powers It's like logging in to the world of internet games. I won't explain it because it won't be easy to understand even if it's called an internet game.

My mom and dads bedroom is upstairs. For the time being, let's set the entire house to the designated range. I have learned how to control my Divinity a little bit.

I have everyone sit on the sofa in the living room and relax. I stand in the center of the living room and concentrate my consciousness.

Lets take a slow, deep breath. Okay.

"Well, let's go. [Connect]."

Suddenly, everyone's consciousness fell asleep. Everyone's consciousness is guided to a server-like pseudo-world created by divine power so that the line is connected.

Finally, I let go of my consciousness and fell sideways on the carpet, as if lying down, slowly.

"Where are we ?"

"A tiny different world created by Divinity I don't know it completely. Well, you can think of it as being in [Storage]."

While answering Yae's question, who was looking around Kyoro Kyoro, I was delighted to see myself returning to normal after a long time (although it was only two days). I wish the visibility was better, though!

Since it was a pseudo-world, my clothes weren't torn by my sudden growth, and I was wearing my usual coat. Well, this is because I unconsciously imagine it the most

"That's fine, but why is there fog under our feet and dim above?

"Oh, no, I'm dead for the time being. I thought I had to be ghostly."

As Linze pointed out, this space created by divine power was a space where fog or smoke could enter under your feet in a dimly lit space. You see, it feels like a "spirit world", right? Well, I haven't actually seen it, so I referred to old movies and TV dramas. The Divine Realm looks kind of like this, though.

"But this seems like you're back because of some regrets, right? You came to tell them that you're happy."

"Ah."

I just realized. What Elze says is correct. This makes me look like I've come to say a grudge that I held before dying. Was this type of surroundings too ghostly? Reflection time.

When it comes to that, what kind of stage would I like to put instead?

"A bright sun, white clouds, and flower fields Isn't it better to have such a beautiful and natural landscape? It would make you look like you're living happily."

"That's right. If you take the appearance of living happily in Heaven, it would look good."

Leen nods a little to Hilda's suggestion. I see. Will that scenery look good?

I solidify the image in my head and snap my fingers. After a moment, the fog blows away, and the soft, bright sunlight shines into the dimly lit space. A clear blue sky spread over my head, and instead of the fog that blew off, beautiful flowers spread out looking like there were hundreds of them.

This world is a pseudo space that I created. Creating a virtual space with holograms, which is common in overseas science fiction dramas. I can remake it as I like. Let's blow a little refreshing breeze. The scent of fragrant flowers drifts around.

"Wow it looks like the real thing."

Yumina picks up a flower from under her feet. Since you can recognize the feeling of touching things, it may not be so different from reality. Unfortunately I don't have the power to hold this place for a long time. I think my limits an hour Will that be enough time?

"Nyhaa~~ So where are your father and mother, Touya-kun? Have you already called them to this world?"

"Yeah. Theyre supposed to be somewhere in this world because it connects the consciousness of everyone in that house but "

I returned to Su, but I found a figure who was rushing through the flower garden over Sus head and stopped speaking. From behind, another person chases after the figure of the person in a hurry.

The former looks like a woman in her late twenties with her hair reaching her shoulders, but is actually a woman in her early thirties. And from behind, chasing after her with a troubled face is a gentle-looking, tall man wearing round glasses and looks to be approaching 40.

Needless to say, those are my parents. My father's name is Mochizuki Touichirou, whose occupation is a manga artist. My mother's name is Mochizuki Tsuzuri, whose occupation is a picture book author.

That picture book author rushed here with a weird expression.

I understand something since I had lived with her for many years. When my mother makes that expression, it's a very moody time. Maybe, but even without that expression I can tell, you're angry ?

Huh? Isn't this a moving face-to-face scene with your deceased son?

Mom stops in front of me. Due to the silent pressure released by my mother, my wives, who were around her, gradually stepped back a bit.

"Hey, mom how were you?"

My mother reached out to my face, who said those words with a smile that was a bit cramped. A thin hand touches my face. Cold. That hand feels cold.

The other hand also touched my face. My mother in front of me smiles a little. It was a nostalgic smile I saw when I was a kid.

When I was immersed in such nostalgia, my mother's grip gradually became stronger. What?

My mother's height is not so different from mine. Originally she was also a model, so she is tall for a woman. My mother's hands hold my head firmly enough to be able to question where such power lies in her slender body.

Where did the smile she had just go? My mothers face in front of me instantly turned into a rugged face and hit me with a big headbutt.

"This idiot son!!!"

"Pain! Gohe! !! !! ?? "

Countless stars are scattered in front of me! As I fell backwards, I was in agony feeling as if my head cracked open and was rolling around in the flower field. Wait a minute! I can feel pain! ?? No, my brain might have the illusion that there was such a shock! Oh yeah. Then if I think it doesn't hurt !

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt Oh, the pain has subsided. As expected, this is my world. But it still hurts

"You are finally showing your face now! Isn't it at least a responsibility to be in a dream on the day of your death !? Moreover, when I think youve finally come, there are nine wives !? What is that, hey! "

"Wait a minute !? How do you know !?"

With my arms crossed and looking up at my mother who stood up, I was surprised and raised my voice. Neither the girls or I have said a word about them being my wives, yet. Is this telepathy! ?? Originally Mom was a sharp person, but that's just stupid, telepathy.

"Wait a minute, Tsuzuri! Is it not overkill! ?? Are you okay, Touya? "

"This much doesn't matter because it's a dream anyway!"

Anxiously, my father called out from behind my mother. Apparently they both think this is a dream. It's exactly what I was aiming for, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get this kind of attack Isn't it usually a hug in this case? As usual, reality and dreams are unforgiving!

"No, why does mother know everyone !?"

"The night before, a strange oji-san who called himself Kami-sama came in a dream. He said I'm sorry I robbed you of your son."

"I saw that dream, too. An old man with gray hair and glasses."

No way, the World God ? Did he appear in my parents dreams, first? To apologize for letting me die That, I have a bad feeling about something

" So what happened?"

"Because I was angry, I slapped him."

"Wait, what!?"

" I thought I'd do it, but I was stopped by Touichirou in my dream, so I gave up."

The mother turns away with a sullen look.

"No matter how much it's a dream, I'm reflexively saying that you shouldnt try to slap someone who claims to be Kami-sama. That oji-san had a cramped laugh."

Dad answers with a bitter smile. I'll apologize to the World God when we get home.

"It's natural to get so angry because my son was killed. It's usually bad for you! You should be angry about dying from lightning! That's about it. Trying to apologize! Pathetic!

Don't be crazy. I dont really care.

"That Kami-sama said ,'Your dead son will appear in your dreams with nine brides?' ! I woke up from my dreams and unintentionally shouted,'Hey!'!"

"It's strange, but I had the same dream. But Tsuzuri-san and Touya look like the real thing. Is this really a dream?"

Well, do you think that we are all dreams? Dad tries to pinch his cheeks. Oops. I secretly block the pain sensation.

" It doesn't hurt. It's a dream, isn't it? But I'm glad to see you again Touya. You look fine Isn't it strange that you are dead?

"Dad "

Dad laughs hahaha. Hes still at his own pace Easygoing or insensitive. My mother also pinches herself, just like father. Of course, I also didnt allow the pain sensation.

" That? It hurt a little while ago."

"It didnt, though?"

"Really"

She had headbutted me a little while ago and was rubbing her head, but she seems to have stopped thinking about it deeply. Mothers as simple as ever No, it's helpful for me that she has a personality that doesn't care about the details.

"You're not growing tall at all. Oh, it's a dream, so you look the same as when you died I'm sorry I can't see you a
