8 Chapter - 08
POV 3 (I think)
---
At this moment, the calm twilight sky was gradually turning into a dark night. In a quiet corner of the garden, sat a young man who was looking at his smartphone while holding a bottle of tea. The man is Yato. At this time, Yato furrowed his brows and looked a little annoyed when he read something from his smartphone.
"That old man. Sigh… whatever. It's almost night, I better go home. I will read the rest at home. " Yato muttered.
After reading a bit, Yato threw his drink bottle into the trash and continued on his way home. When Yato was about to put his smartphone into his pants pocket, his smartphone rang.
* Ring ring *
Realizing this, Yato stopped walking and looked at his smartphone.
'Hmm, so Kami-sama'
"Then ... reject." –After seeing that it was an annoying old man who claimed to be a god, Yato immediately refused the call from the old man and continued on his way home.
However, not long after, Yato's smartphone rang again. "This old man is so stubborn, huh." Yato thought. Yato then looked at his smartphone and decided to accept a call from Kami-sama.
"Moshi-moshi, who is this with?"
"Moshi-moshi Yato-kun, it's me, Kami-sama. Why do you reject the call? "
Yato who heard it became even more annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you. Maybe you made the wrong number, if you don't have anything to talk about again I will hang up."
"W-wait, wait. Yato-kun, alright, okay, I'm sorry. I will explain everything now! don't close it, okay! "
"Everything?"
"Yes, yes, everything!"
"..."
"Etoo, Yato-kun?"
After Yato listened to the words of the old man, Yato stopped at the side of the deserted road and leaned against the wall. Yato uses the skill [Hide:] to eliminate his existence and [Silence] which is the ability Yato made based on Corazon's Nagi Nagi no Mi so that no one accidentally overhears their conversation.
"Fine, if you don't explain everything I want to hear. I will not answer your calls again. " Yato said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Yes, yes. Of course! Ahem, so what do you want to know first? "
"Alright, let's start from this world. What world is this? "
"Maa, that world is your dream world."
"My dream?" Yato who heard it became confused.
"Yes, your dream. It's a combined world of stories that you liked in the past. "
"What I like? Do you mean anime? "
"Yes, yes. That's what I mean. It is just…"
"It is just?"
"It's just that that world doesn't have a god to take care of it."
"God? Take care of the world? Aren't you the one who takes care of all the world? "
"No, no. I'm just a supervisor, there are countless worlds in existence, you know. There's no way I can take care of all the world. Every world will usually have a god taking care of it. however, there are also worlds where there is no god to take care of them. By the way, Touya-kun world doesn't have gods either. "
"Haa… so, if there weren't any gods to take care of this world, what would happen to this world. After all, where is the god in charge of this world? "
"Yes, answer your question, what will happen to your world is random."
"Random? What do you mean old man? "
"Yes, random. The future of your world will not be known. For example, tomorrow your world will end or even evolve. Or any other possibility. Since nobody controls it, your world can be anything you know. "
Kami-sama said this in a relaxed and cheerful tone. It was as if a world experiencing destruction didn't matter at all.
"Hah?! So what should I do? Where is the god in charge of this world ?! I want to file a complaint now! "
Yato, who heard that the world he and his family lived in, had the possibility of being destroyed at any time, became shocked and a little annoyed.
"Well, that. the previous god in charge had fallen. "
"Fallen?"
"Yes, fallen. He became a fallen god, for breaking the rules I made. "
"So, why don't you appoint another god to take care of this world old man?"
"Actually, I already did. You know, I recently appointed a lower-tier water goddess to take care of that world. However, the management is terrible. You know, she likes to get drunk and neglect her job. She was also bad at the management of the souls of the dead. So, other gods started complaining about this goddess's work. "
"Huh, so?"
"So, the other gods decided to get rid of this water goddess. However, they are confused about how to do it. Until one day, there is a soul who will be reincarnated into another world with a request to bring this water goddess with him. The gods, pleased with the soul's request and allow the young soul reincarnated bring the water goddess. So, until now there hasn't been a god in charge of this world. That's the story. "
"That… isn't that-" Yato, who heard the story from Kami-sama, thought of the most ridiculous thing possible.
"That's right, Yato-kun. As you might think, the goddess of water and young soul is Aqua-kun and Satou Kazuma-kun. "
Kami-sama who seemed to read Yato's mind, immediately interrupted Yato's words and said what Yato was thinking in a relaxed tone as if it wasn't the problem at all.
"Wh-… I have no more words. What's with this world. This world is chaotic. Huff… so what's next old man? Do not tell me-"
"Haha, yes, Yato-kun. You guessed it right! I want you to take care of this world! "
"I refuse!"
Yato immediately refused without thinking for a second. What Yato thought when he refused Kami-sama's offer was "There's no way I can do such a troublesome job!" Yato who hasn't even finished talking and Kami-sama as if he has read Yato's mind from the world of gods has asked Yato to take care of this world.
'What do you mean "as you guessed Yato-kun" damn it. "Yato thought.
"Give the job to someone else!" Yato continued in an irritated voice.
"Maa-maa, Yato-kun. Don't be like that, I'm not asking you to take care of that world right away. For now, that world will temporarily be under the supervision of several gods. You don't have to think about that right now, we still have lots of time. haha"
Responding to Yato's annoyance, Kami-sama still answered in a relaxed and slightly cheerful tone.
"… Huu, I'll think about that later. Next, why were the monsters of the otherworld sent to my location, old man? "
Yato, who heard Kami-sama's casual answer, tried to calm himself down. After Yato calmed down a little, Yato decided to ignore it and asked another thing that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Yes, if that. It seems, there is a God who made a mistake and sent the monster to You. Maybe." Kami-sama's answer is slightly unclear.
"Huh, maybe? what do you mean old man ?! Was that god a kid who sent my former classmate to another world? That kid, what's his name again? Megatron? " Yato asked irritably.
"Ah, yes maybe he is. After all, he is one of the gods who is taking care of your world. "
"Maybe, maybe, maybe. Aren't you the supreme god old man? What's with that ambiguous answer? " The more Yato heard Kami-sama's answer, the more annoyed Yato became. Yato frowned even more until the veins of his head were clearly visible.
"Well, Yato-kun even though I'm a supreme god, I don't know everything."
"Huh, whatever. So, what about group chats? What else is that? "
After hearing the ambiguous answer from Kami-sama who couldn't be relied on at all. Yato asked the last question on his mind.
"Eh, didn't I tell you? That's your gift. Because you were already guarding that world, even before the time I planned to make you the manager of that world. Ha ha ha"
"Don't laugh old man, so you planned everything ?!"
"Well, don't think too much, Yato-kun."
"How can I not think about it old man ?!"
"Well, if nothing else you want to ask, I'll go. Bye-bye Yato-kun, have fun! "
"---"
"Hey!"
Everything that Kami-sama said only made Yato even more annoyed.
After Kami-sama… the old man hung up on the phone casually as usual. Yato can only be silent. 'Seriously, that old man, really…. Aghh. 'Yato could only scratch his head in annoyance.

POV Yato
After I arrived in front of my house, I opened the door and went inside. And the first thing that greeted me was Karen who looked annoyed.
'But, Karen is still cute. Ahh, I'm cured.' I thought silly.
"I'm home ..." I said softly.
"Welcome ... so, where have you been?" As I thought, she is pissed off. But, Karen who was upset right now was like-
"You look like a wife who is waiting for her husband." I said without realizing it.
"W-wha- What are you talking about, you idiot!" Karen, who heard my words, immediately screamed with a red face.
"By the way, where are mom and dad?" I said, trying to change the subject.
"They're still at work, they'll be home late." Karen said in a soft voice.
Our parents often spend time at work and often come home late on normal days. Sometimes they go out of the city to finish work. So, almost every day, there would only be the two of us at home. Recently, Karen will always wait for me to eat together, 'I think I made her wait a long time'
"Is it true? So, it's just the two of us tonight? " I said, taking off my shoes and arranging them on the shoe rack.
Karen who heard it immediately had strange thoughts and shifted her gaze to hide her blushing face. Even if she still keeps her poker face, or she at least tries.
"W-What are you thinking! Disgusting." Karen, who regained her composure, said things that hurt my heart. Her tongue was very sharp as usual. Although, I didn't think of anything
But, at least Karen wasn't too cold to me anymore. Maybe because I gave her some gifts? When I gave her the gift, she became very happy. Although, her face didn't change at all.
After all, I am her big brother. I can read her mind easily. I mean understanding her, I didn't read her mind with my skills. All right, all right. Honestly, I used my skills to read her mind.
When I read her mind for the first time, I was speechless. I never thought that she was a brocon. Although we are not blood brothers and sisters, to think she would be a brocon. I do not know what to do.
Honestly, I'm quite happy and scared at the same time with her thoughts. I thought she was, you know, like Yandere.
I used to, always wanted Karen to call me Onii-chan like when we were young. But, when I found out she always called me on her mind all the time. I'm quite scared. So, I rarely read her mind anymore.
"All right, let's go inside and have dinner." I said.
