Chapter 5: The Gods of the Streets (Corrected typo)

　Labyrinth City Orario.

　　There is an underground labyrinth commonly known as [Underground City], no, it is a huge city built on a labyrinth.

　　This city is prosperous with the "Guild" that manages the city and dungeons as its core. Including humans, demi-humans of various races make a living here.

　　On the crowded avenue of various races, Asuna struggled to weave through the crowds.

　　There is no other reason. Some male adventurers exude all kinds of wonderful smells!

　　She had to cover her mouth and nose and run away.

　　Asuna, who was not embarrassed at all when facing the Sword Princess of [Loki Familia], was actually defeated by the scent of the adventurer. This made Ais know how she would feel.

　　Dwarves, goblins, orcs, little humans... some look like citizens, while others are armed with dangerous equipment.

　　No matter how they dress, they all have a unified name - Adventurer!

　　Because the gods were bored to death in the heaven, they happily went to the lower world to cause harm to people... ahem.

　　Put another way.

　　The gods spent infinite time in the paradise [Heaven] that is unimaginable to humans, and finally got tired of doing nothing (salted fish) every day.

　So they found entertainment among the [children] who inefficiently cultivated culture and life - that is, the humans living in the lower world.

　　"Stand in the children's shoes with the same status and abilities as you have."

　　Precisely because they are perfect beings, they are interested in imperfect and inefficient humans and this world.

　　As a result, the netherworld excited the gods. A phenomenon completely beyond imagination; the desire to satisfy food, hobbies, art, etc., and the connection with many people called "friendship".

　　Although to the gods, this is like playing a game (no, this is originally a training game.), but they enjoy every moment of this carelessness and never tire of it. (Shaking M?)

　　It didn't take long for the gods to settle in the lower world. It is said that many gods decided to live here forever. (He is really a troublesome guy.)

　　As for the decision of the gods, those humans who are the natives of the lower world are naturally unable to refuse. Instead, they should say that they are very grateful to the gods for giving them the [favor].

　　It may not sound nice to say this, but the relationship between them is a bit like a relationship of mutual use. The modern social structure faithfully represents the relationship between the two.

　　It is said that the gods have a rule that they cannot use the omnipotent [divine power]——In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, of course they also need money.

　　Although some gods like to work, most just want to have fun all day long.

　　(Loki: Sneeze!)

　　(Loki: It's strange. Gods can't get sick, right? Could it be that...hehehe...did Ais miss me?!)

　　In order to allow themselves to eat, drink and have fun as they please, these gods decided to borrow the power of people from the lower world.

　　The dependent clan was also born.

　　People from the lower world who join the [Familiar Clan] can receive [favors] from the gods.

　　These gods will ask these people to do something or let them make money for themselves.

　　This may be too direct, but in other words, these salted fish gods rely on members of the [Familiar Clan] to support themselves.

　　(Is this any different from what you are in heaven?)

　　However, for humans, the benefits of [favor] cannot be ignored. As long as they obtain [favor], anyone will become able to repel inferior monsters.

　　(I always feel like you guys are not working very hard...)

　　Obviously these gods can do anything as long as they have the will, but they would rather limit themselves to the framework of the lower world.

　　However, there are also gods who control the [Familiar] and build kingdoms as they wish - or should I say, they turn the [Familiar] themselves into kingdoms. It seems to call this [Kingdom Management Game].

　　However, even if the kingdom is run, it is operated and built through people, so it does not violate the rules of the gods. Although some people criticized the gods behind their backs for playing with the lower world, but even so, it was the result expected by some of the people from the lower world who claimed to be the royal family.

　　Although gods may snicker as they observe people's actions, their power is ultimately just a stimulus to people's actions.

　　To obtain favors from the gods, everyone has the same starting point. What kind of achievements can be achieved in the end depends on one's own efforts.

　　Asuna's primary goal now is to find a god who is less famous and easier to talk to.

　　Her reputation is low, so there are relatively few people paying attention to her. If she can really go home by then, although she will feel sorry for that god, it will not have a big impact.

　　She is easy to talk to and has a soft ear. If she learns about her situation, she will definitely help, right?

　　perhaps.

　　Even if I leave by then, will she understand me?

　　Ah, no, why do I feel more and more like a scumbag?

　　Asuna looked ashamed and walked to a stall to avoid the crowd.

　　There was nothing I could do about it, among the smelly adventurers, the aroma of the food was so "pungent" that Asuna unconsciously felt that she had walked here to think about life.

　　"This adventurer, would you like to eat some fried potato balls? This is Orario's specialty food~"

　　Next to my ears, the girl's unique childish voice came.

　　Asuna came back to her senses and looked at the source of the sound.

　　"This... is too foul..."

　　Behind the stall is a person who looks like a little girl... or a girl, no, it gives the impression that she is wavering between the two.

　　This girl with a childish face is an out-and-out beautiful girl.

　　The glossy jet-black hair covers her ears, and the twin ponytails on both sides reach to her waist. A small silver clock was pinned to the ribbon that tied up her hair.

　　The round face and round cheeks form a childlike appearance; perhaps because of this, the eyes are easily attracted to the plump and mature breasts that are obvious even through the clothes.

　　"Why does it look bigger than mine..."

　　Asuna's eyes were attracted by the girl's plump breasts, and she couldn't help but murmured, as if she was shocked.

　　"Hey, guest, are you a female adventurer?"

　　Her big eyes are transparent blue, and her stunningly beautiful appearance creates an atmosphere of fantasy.

　　Hearing Asuna's somewhat low words, the girl shook her head, and her twin ponytails swayed involuntarily.

　　"Ah... um." Asuna then realized that she was still wearing a cloak and hood after being separated from Ais.

　　He is the only one among this group of strangely dressed adventurers.

　　However, if such a pretty little girl is selling things here, she won't be harassed, right?

　　"No, adventurers would not dare to offend our gods."

　　The girl with a childlike face and big breasts seemed to have guessed Asuna's thoughts. She showed a cute and cute smile on her face, and her tone was quite happy. It seemed that it was because of Asuna's concern?

　　"Oh, that's it..." Asuna said halfway before she suddenly realized, "Are you... a god?"

　　"yes."

　　The girl skillfully handed Asuna a bunch of fried potato balls, "Here, this is my treat."

　　There was a look of distress in the girl's eyes.

　　"..." Asuna hesitantly reached out and took it.

　　Will the god of this world... also be reduced to working on the streets?

　　This loli... God, do you want to try to join her family?

　　"I always feel like you're thinking about something rude!"

　　The cute goddess with childlike face and big breasts pouted in dissatisfaction.

　　Very cute!

　　Decided! Just join the family of this loli god!

　　I...I'm not greedy for her body!
