The gods were all weirdos

That day we took lodgings in Melonel's palace, and the next day we were to go to yet another throne.

　By the way, it was a big party after that. Well, most of it was just Melonel making a fuss by himself. I was so happy with the span me cans, I was in high spirits from beginning to end. We were smacking our lips over the food made by Melonel's relatives.

　That's right, I was given something that looked like curry powder, the various spices that make up the ingredients, and the recipe. In this continent, it's not precious or anything, it seems to be eaten on a daily basis. Rifana and Elmina didn't seem to like curry. I feel like my ears are itching.

　Also, Melonel's blessing was a method of pouring alcohol from his head. Is it a champagne fight? I was surprised because it happened so suddenly.

　Then the next day. I came to the throne of Zephyr, the God of Wind.

"Hmm? Blessing? That's fine."

　A soft breeze envelops my body. You have obtained the third blessing!

"Wait, wait wait wait wait. Melonel was probably too light, think common sense."

"Huh?

"No, it certainly doesn't bother me though."

　The one smiling in front of me is not just a fair-haired handsome boy, but Zephyr, the wind goddess. This guy's throne was in the countryside of Kalendale Kingdom. It is a rustic farming village at the foot of a mountain near Mount Bath. Surprisingly, it is a village where humans, beastmen, and many other races coexist harmoniously.

　Me, Real, and Zephiel had a meeting at the pavilion on the outskirts of the village.

"Well, actually, I was paying attention to you. I think your actions and spirit to rescue every weak person you see are wonderful."

"Ooh?"

"As you can see from this village, I think this world should be like this. Humans, beastmen, elves, centaurs, lizardmen, and other races all together. Of course, there will be conflicts in life, but there's nothing better than living happily and happily together."

"Well, that's right."

　I agree with what Zephyr says. Of course, there are differences between races and conflicts that come from that, but there should be a lot of scenes where they can join hands together. Moreover, there is a direct threat of monsters in this world.

"Are you planning to create a country by gathering people who can cooperate with each other, whether they are humans or non-humans?"

"Well, that's about right."

　It's not the first goal, but it's a goal that's definitely not a low priority. My first goal is to create and maintain a place where my wife and I can live happily. The others are secondary, so to speak.

　After all, when you're trying to immerse yourself in a happy mood, if there are people in front of you who are desperate and can't go anywhere, it's a wake-up call.

"Then, I will congratulate you. I don't like Vault's way of doing things because it puts people first, and other races don't really care. I cooperated a bit with my mother's restraint, but she was mostly running around."

　Come to think of it, I don't think this guy attacked me when I was being lynched by the gods.

"That's why I want you to accept my blessing without hesitation.

"Oh, oh"

"Yeah, mercy isn't for the benefit of others, is it? It's good that your actions have been evaluated in this way."

"Well, yes, that's right."

　It's hard to say how it will be so universally affirmed.

　Whether he knew my inner thoughts or not, it was really itchy when the real person innocently patted me on the back. I feel like I'm writhing.

"By the way, does this blessing have any meaning?

　I decided to change the topic because I was going to be praised and killed at this rate.

"Hmm, well, it probably doesn't make much sense for Taishi.

"Is that so? Then why are you doing such a troublesome thing again?"

"It will be useful when you return to where you should be. If you have received multiple blessings from other gods, the Vaults won't be able to get their hands on it so easily. Well, we're on our side. So it's like a certificate."

"I see?"

　I feel like I understood it somehow from Real and Zephiel's explanations. For now, let's just accept that the more blessings I have, the more damn vaults I can't get my hands on.

　As we were talking about that, Rifana and Elmina returned to the gazebo we were talking about.

"Welcome back, did you find anything interesting?"

"It seems that one of the elf clans that I thought was lost has fallen into place here."

"I have no intention of leaving here.

"It would be helpful if you could do that. This is a hidden village for the time being."

"Yes, Zephiel-sama."

　Even if they look like children, Rifana and Elmina-san's attitude of respecting God doesn't change. To my eyes, it only looks like a child with a slightly grown-up atmosphere, but I wonder if the locals can feel the aura of God.

"Um, is this the end?"

　I've received a blessing and there's nothing to do here, so let's just take a break. If I stay here like this, I'm going to end up writhing in itching.

"No, I'm planning to go one more column."

"Is it the God of War Dior? That's it, isn't it a knight-like guy with armor, a sword and a shield?"

"I agree"

"It's definitely going to be a serious battle, isn't it? I really don't want to go."

　It was because I was feeling like a battle junkie. Joyfully, "Then show your strength! ' or something like that. No, I'll tell you. no doubt.

"But if you take her on your side, it'll be easier, won't it? You'll have a rock solid posture, and you'll have less trouble later."

"Ah... I can't help it."

　☆★☆

　Having a bad feeling, we left the hidden village of Zephyr, the god of wind, and moved to the throne of Dior, the god of war. As far as I can see from the map, the throne of Dior, the god of war, seems to be on the same second continent as Melonel's throne. To the northeast of Melonel's Throne is a wasteland lined with strangely shaped rocks as high as buildings.

"Very well. Then show your power!"

　Standing proudly on the rugged stone stage, Dior lets out a roar. Yeah I thought it would. Ask for help and turn your gaze to reality.

"Well, it seems like that, so do your best? We're watching the game."

"How much can I kill?"

"I'll do my best"

　Real waved his hand flutteringly, sat down on the stone stage, and let his legs dangle.

"Both of you, come here. I'll protect you from getting caught up in the aftermath."

"Eh..."

"I'm afraid"

　Both of them seem to be reluctant to sit on the stone stage, which is the throne of the god of war.

"No, it's fine, so just do as I say. I can't do it seriously if I think about the aftermath hurting the two of us."

"Uh...I understand."

"I hope I don't get hit with drumsticks."

　With my words, the two finally sat down next to each other. At the same time, the god of war Dior leaps from the stone stage to the ground where I am. Is the distance about twenty meters?

"I had a lot of fun in the last battle.

"That's right"

　I take out the aurora sword from the storage and swing it several times. It's a sword that's rugged due to its transformation mechanism, but with my physical strength, I can handle it with one hand.

"It's a rare weapon."

"right?"

　While saying that, I threw a black steel throwing stake from the holder on my waist.

　A pile thrown at supersonic speed makes a roaring sound that divides the air and approaches Dior, but Dior easily avoids it.

"Yes, good."

"Shhh!"

　Kicking the ground while kneading the magic power, blasting the ground and throwing the throwing stake again while closing the gap. This time it's made by God Silver with the magic letter of acceleration. At first glance, it looked the same, but it seems that even Dior was struck by the fact that the throwing stake flew at a much faster speed than before. Instead of avoiding it this time, I held up my shield and flipped the throwing stake.

　However, Dior's legs stopped completely because he blocked the throwing stake made by Shingin. Opportunity!

"Chairaaaaaa!"

　With the intention of slashing with the shield, I slashed with all my might. Will you parry it, or will you accept it head-on? Either way, it's three moves away.

"No!?"

　Dior chose to receive with a shield. A violent sound of metal hitting each other resounded, and Dior's body was blown backwards along with the shield.

"kill...!"

　Draw your sword and set the tip towards Dior.

　Cut, cut! I can cut! I can cut through space, time, and even gods!

"Dashaaaaaaa!"

　A hundred flashes released with all the power of the whole body attack Dior who can't even take a passive in the air.

"Whoa!?"

　However, Dior is also a god of war. It seems that he somehow managed to prevent Hyaksen, which he couldn't see and attacked at the same time, so he shouldn't be able to defend against it.

　I see, don't do it. But my turn isn't over yet!

"Yayaaaah!"

　With the shirt that Kusuha sent me, I put on the hatred that cut me apart and threw it with all my might.

　The distance between Dior and me was over 20 meters again after he was blown away, but it doesn't matter.

　For a moment, my vision blurred and went dark, and I could see Dior's back in front of me.

"Sweet!"

　The distance-ignoring backstab combined with short-distance transfer was blocked by Dior's shield on his back. No way to prevent this.

"Sha!"

"Hunnu!"

　He slashes while wearing aurora on his sword, but this is shot down by Dior's slash that was released while turning around.

"Uoraaaaaaaa!"

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

　Cut at close range. Fighting not only with swords but also with fists, kicks and headbutts. It has become like a battle between wild beasts.

"Let me die!"

"What the hell!"

"It's barbaric."

"I can't believe Taishi-kun is okay with fighting the God of War."

"Wrestling with the God of War, that's amazing."

　The outfield is saying whatever they want, but I'm pretty desperate. This bastard, even though he's wearing armor all over his body, used the hard part of the armor to hit me hard.

　I was so annoyed that I put my hand in the gap of the armor and twisted it as much as I could. Before I knew it, my hand and Dior's hand had lost their advantage.

"Goo!?"

"Fuhahahaha! I'll twist your head off and turn it into a toy!"

　I put my hand on the rim of the helmet and put my strength into it. But Dior won't just keep quiet. A strong elbow strike pierced my pigeon tail. I'm attacked by severe pain and shortness of breath, but I won't let go of this hand!

"Gufu... Be the light!!!!"

"Ahhhh!?"

　I'll blow up the helmet many times by continuously firing magic bullets from the hand that's hanging on the edge of the helmet. My hands are also shredded, but the opponent's damage should be bigger.

　As expected, Dior released a shock wave from his whole body and pulled me away. Was it also used in Magic Explosion?

　I take out the divine silver club from my storage and cast recovery magic on my shredded right hand. Dior seemed to have regrouped himself, pulling out a new sword and shield from somewhere.

"Okora, are you still doing it?"

"Of course, it's not settled yet!"

"What are you going to settle with!?"

　Concentrate magic power while pouring magic power into the God silver club. I remember normal magic didn't work very well on God, so this is what he uses this time.

"space cutdimension cutter"

"Nuu!?"

　Dior began to focus on avoiding the magic of space cutting, which cuts off everything together with space, as expected. Hahaha, I wonder how long I can avoid it! ?

"Kuh, persistent!"

"Hyaha! I'll make it into minced meat!"

　Spatial cutting that misses the target cuts the strange rocks that line the wilderness, blocking Dior's escape. Even I'm not just shooting blindly, I'm shooting after thinking about it.

"Extreme explosion!"

　Blow up Dior together with the strangely cut rocks where the escape area is blocked. If it's a normal opponent, this is the rule, but in fact, this is an opening that I showed on purpose.

　I lose sight of Dior due to the light and dust generated by the massive explosion. And magic that ``causes normal destruction'' like super-blast has little effect on the gods. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dior will definitely attack me in close combat. he will finish it off.

""received--!""

　At exactly the same time, me and Dior said the same line. As I expected, Dior chose a close-quarters attack under the cover of a massive explosion. On the other hand, the decisive factor I chose was a space-severing storm that fired in all directions, a counter that perfectly read Dior's movements.

　There was a clear difference between those who read the first move of the resurrection and those who read it.

"Guu... I'm sorry!"

　Dior, whose whole body is torn into pieces along with the space, falls to the ground.

"Damn it hurts..."

　In contrast, I was not unharmed either. Dior's sword "cut the space cut" and was digging into my shoulder. However, the parts other than the blade and Dior's body itself were torn apart, so it did not lead to fatal injuries. I ended up with a serious injury. This is also thanks to the VIT correction.

　I threw away the blade that had bitten into my shoulder and healed the wound with recovery magic. It's been a long time since I've been injured this badly. It hurts so much. I feel like crying

　When I finished the treatment and went down to Ishibutai, there was already Dior, without any scars, and still in good spirits. Shit, this is why he's a god.

"Yes, I collected it."

"Oh, thank you."

　I received the aurora sword that I threw somewhere during the fistfight from Real, and stored it in my storage along with the god silver club.

"So, is it okay if I am satisfied with this?"

"Umu, that was brilliant. You are a warrior worthy of my blessing."

　Saying that, Dior picked up the sword, so I unintentionally braced myself. The fucking old man from Balgand hit me with a gavel, and Melonel poured alcohol on me. Zephiel was just the wind wrapped around me, but what about this guy? Isn't it supposed to slash with a sword?

"Why are you holding yourself up?"

"It's a normal reaction to someone suddenly wielding a flat, think common sense."

"I'm not going to kill you, don't be so defensive."

"Ah"

　Saying that, Dior cut his palm with a sword and sprinkled me with the blood. Hey, what's that "Ah" thing right now, Mr. Real!? ?　

"Hey!?"

"Hahaha, this is how I give my blessing. Forgive me."

　I tried to purify the blood on my clothes, but before that, all the dirt on my body and Dior's blood had completely disappeared. I don't know what it is, but it would be nice if it became beautiful.

"Fumu, is it still an enemy to overwrite mother's divine protection?"

"That's right. I'm much better than you in terms of love, time, and effort. It's impossible to just share blood and flesh."

"Wait, wait, don't do something like my interaction without my intention, don't plot."

　I don't know what it is, but it seems that before I knew it, I was about to be given a higher-level blessing rather than a blessing. What's more, I'm talking about overwriting, but why am I already booked in real life? I haven't heard anything

"Hey you guys, tell me about the situation.

"No, we already talked about it, didn't we? In the end, we're going to negotiate in the direction that Taishi will take care of what he did."

"Ah... that's right, you were talking about that too."

"And who will support it? The point is, will I sponsor the startup or will Dior do it?"

"I'll check it again, but it's not a matter of making a decision right away, is it? It's okay to talk about it after the end of your life, right?"

"Yeah, I guarantee that.

　Let's talk slowly with the wives... Ah, my stomach feels like it's going to hurt now. The same goes for this case, and above all, Elmina-san and Rifana's case is dangerous. This time, the legendary grilled dogeza may be inevitable.

"Well, that's all the preparations—or rather, it's almost done. At least you can swing your arms and go back to where you should be."

"Is it so?"

"Yeah, that's enough. Balgand, Melonel, Zephyr's blessings, Dior's protection, and you, who is also my apostle, have become too risky for the Vaults to harm you directly. It's okay to go home."

　Feelings that cannot be expressed in words are about to overflow with the real words that smile. Yes, can we go home? It's easier than I thought. I think it's fair to say that it's been a blast ever since I actually started getting pseudo-gods.

　After a lot of hardships, I can finally return to my family. The thought almost brought tears to her eyes. No, don't cry yet. The only time I cry is when I'm back with my family.

"Okay... then let's go home."

　When I muttered with a flood of emotions, Elmina-san and Rifana who got off the stone stage walked to my side. Both of them look a little worried.

"Are you okay?"

"What do you mean okay?"

"Aren't we a nuisance?"

　After taking a step away, he hugged the two who were worried.

"Isn't it annoying. If the two of you weren't there, would I have been timid somewhere, or would my heart be broken..."

　When I looked at him realistically, he smiled with a bewitching smile like no other. It makes my back tingle in many ways.

"Anyway. It's thanks to you two that I'm able to stand here now. It shouldn't be a nuisance."

"If you say so, you will be saved.

"Even though he's a newlywed, he suddenly disappears, and when he comes back, there are more women, he's the worst kind of bad husband."

"It's a seppuku thing."

"That's a good story, it's about to end, so could you please stop making fun of it?"

　I'll complain to the gods who gouge out my heart by shoving reality from afar.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm going to say goodbye here for now. I'm always connected with Taishi ☆"

　Terrible.

"Don't be afraid☆"

　Kuh, this guy is directly in my head.

"--F*cchiki please--"

"No more"

"Ahaha, well, I'll be going to greet you soon. Let's think about the rest at that time. Now go home as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay... then let's go."

　Concentrate your magic power and imagine the place where you want to teleport. The transfer destination is Clover, my room.

"good luck. Well, even if I leave it alone, I think I can repel it.』

　At the moment when my vision blurred and went dark, such a real murmur resounded in my mind.
